THE PLUMB STENCIL.

The La Sale Dem. Press, after indulging in
same complimentary remarks in reference to
congressman Cullen, adds:
His defeat for denomination for congress
by the Republican cow ention was shameful.
ly, brazenly and openly purchased by rail-
road money in the hands of a cold-blooded
monopolist, and the buyer and the slaves he
bought have been moving around in the night
mare of uncertainty, guilty Of the damnable
deed, ever since. The infamous deed of
Plumb, the buyer of delegates as butcher
would so many hogs, has started movement
against him for congress the like of which
has never before been known to our politics.
The exodus of republican farmers into the
democratic camp is simply mighty. They are
the men who will not stand by dishonesty.
They have entered protest against bad
nomination so emphatic and outspoken that
it makes the defeat of Plumb and the election
of Haley the leading issue Of the campaign
for the publication of political motives and
the exaltation of party aims in this congress
sional district You cannot tell farmers any
thing about railroad monopollsts. They have
been robbed and bled too often by soulless
corporations, and all MIR. Cullen could do, if
he felt like aiding Plumb in his death strug.
GLE would amount to naught. Folger receiv-
ed dishonest nomination for governor in
New York Plumb's case is precisely SINH
lar and the result will be the same. In ordi-
nary cases Of dissatisfaction there is sullen
acauiescence, lukewarm support, and ST.
lent Withholding of votes, but this is grand
revolt of honest men against railroad mono
polist who received his nomination for con-
gress by the corrupt use of his boarded
wealth, and the mighty rush of Niagara Falls
could not push back the tide of popular feel
ing of the thinking republicans who are
to the support of 2. c. Haley.

The Globe of Saturday says: "Beecher de
tends Cleveland for his little indiscretion of
twelve years ago Why not? Henry Ward
knows how il is himself"
That the Globe should say so is of course
not of the slightest consequence, but We
regret TO say that it but copies from papers
that make pretensions TO responsibility and
that ought TO be decent and know better.
Mr.. Beecher has never made defense of
Cleveland's little iudiscretion"-has never
called il such, but a crime, whose self-ayen-
ging punishment, from which he now SUI
fers, is a warning against sin.
The paragraph is quite destitute of wit

STATE HOUSE APPROPRIATIoN-O OF
the standing questions the people are called
to vote upon at every regular election in
this state for the last ten years is, Shall half
million be appropriated from the State
Treasury to complete the State House at
Springfield? The usual way to frame the
law on the subject was to require that, TO
carry the appropriation, majority OF all
the votes cast at that election for members
of the state Legislature must be cast in
favor of the appropriation. Thus, if at that;
election 100000 votes were cast, and oil
these 10000 were for the appropriation
and but $4,000 against il, the appropriation
was defeated, as il lacked a majority of all!
the votes cast.
But the phraseology of the law under,
which the vote Is to be taken this year is
said 10 be so changed that il will not re-
Quire a majority of all the votes cast az the

Berlin, March 6.-At the opening of The Reich
stag to-day the speech from the throne was read
by Herr Won Boetticher, Home Secretary of State
and Representative of the Chancellor. 1t says that
the Emperor's WISH which has been soemnly and

condition of worbInen has met with full appreca-
ton on the part of the German people. Among the
numerous bills announced is one which provides
for scheme of accident insurance, after the adop-
tion of which the Emperor recommends the torma-
tion of system of insurance for the Inilrm and
aged. This, the speech says is intended to pre-
vent any possible justification of attempts to over
throw the divine and human order OF things and
will pave the way for the abrogation of existing
exceptional measures"
Another bill to be introduced provides that the
Anti-Socialst law shall remain in force Tor iuf-
ther period. Another will propose an amendment
to tine present system of insurance against
sickness. The control of joint stock
companies will form the subject OF another
