THE STRENGTH OF REPUBLI-
OANISH.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch may be
called the Representative Democratic
daily of the west. That it appreciates
with full force the continued strength of
Repnblicsnism is shown IN the follow
ing truthful words which it utters for
the consideration of its party associates:
"The Republican party is not dead,
dying or even badly damaged. If Dem
Ocrats think so, and act accordingly,
they will be speedily undeceiVed-and
deserve what they are likely to get. The
Republican party is the most perfect
and powerful political organization the
nation has ever seen, and has a longer
series of unbroken successes than any
other. 1t proposes to live and will live !;
made wise unto salvation by the result
OF its own blunders, and ready to
take prompt advantage OF those of its
adversary. There will now be general
and thorough Republican house clean
ing; the rogues will be sent to the rear
and honest men brought to the front !;
and the chronic evils which have so long
disguised and discouraged decent Re
pub.icans will receive the severe atten-
ton they have so long needed. The
Republican party of 1888 Will be very
different enemy to fight than was the
Republican party of 1884. Four years
of minority experience will have brought
wisdom, while stimulating sterner dis
cipline and more desperate effort to re-
cover lost ground. The mighty ma
chine which, for twenty-four years, has
directed and controlled the national ad
mInistratlon, will not fall to pieces on
such small propagation as losing a sew

ApprecIates the Presa

New ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-THE man.
agement OF the Worlds Exposition de-
sires to express TO the press Of the coun-
try and OF the world, It's profound appre-
citation of the active interest it has taken
in the Worlds Industrial aud Cotton
Centennial Exposition, and of the in
valuable aid IL has so cheerfullY and
gratuItiously rendered the great enter
prise. ManitestlY IL is quite impossible
to advertise an international exposition
in all the papers of the United States
without the expenditure of vast sum
money in excess of the amount avalla-
BILE, and the management feels called
upon to make this explanation to the
press in order that il may under
stand why the exposition has not
been placed before the world in the Or
binary way of advertising. The extra
ordinary and most generous spirit shown
by the press everywhere in furtbeFin e
the exposition, and In aiding in making
it worlds fair in the broadcast sense OF
the term is most gratifying, and the d.
rector general takes this occasion to re-
turn his grateful thanks therefor. Two
suits of rooms of SIX apartments have
been set aside In the main building tor
the exclusive use of the press as secep-
ton room, library and headquarters.
Space has been designated adjoining the
music hall gallery overlooking the
main entrance OF the main building 70
be used for the accommodation OF such
representatives of the press OF the world
as may honor Us with their presence.

THE NEWS has received q circular
from publication society of the Advent
church, which we have carefully labeled
important If true" and filed away for
future reference. 1t gives a full expla-
nationtof the last message to the house of
Israel, and figures 1t out to . dead cen
tainty-the figures are there, there is no
doubt about that-that the date OF the sec
ond advent is to be Jan. 4. 1885. The final
cilnching argument as TO the fulfllment
of prophecy is IN the reference to Zech-
ariah v. 4, which represents the message
as going forth as flying roll. This has
been fulfilled, our informant says, be
cause the advertisement of this time has
gone through KellOgg's list of 1 400 DIFF
terent newspapers We are now more
than ever reconciled TO the dispensations
of Providence IN permitting the election
Of Grover Cleveland.

practice for congress to make an appro-
priatiOn for a public building to be
erected in some city, and for the archi
test to plan structure which may cost
four or five times as muck as the sum
given. in the expectation that congress
will make further appropriations to
cover the cost. In 1872 congress fixed
at $500, 600, and for the building $780,

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-There is much
cabinet talk among Democratic sena-
tors IS to the visit of Senator Bsyard
TO Grover Cleveland. The latest item
about the conference is that Mr.. Bsyard
Is not pleased with one of the sugges
tions of Mr.. Cleveland as to the prin-
cipIe upon which the cabinet should be
framed. The story goes and Is
vouched for by most excellent authority,
that the president elect desires TO invite
the independents to representation In
cabinet on the theory in fpart that they
we're an important factor in the cam
paign and ought to receive recognition,
and that it would be wise policy TO rec
ognIze them in such q way that there
might be reason to expect that they
would continue to give their support to
the Democratic party. To this MIR.
Bayard is most earnestly opposed. The
Delaware senator, while he has the re-
spect of the Independents and is glad 70
have their support, Is q most uncompro-
missing party man, and favors 9 cabinet
upon strict party principles.

Barker Ratified.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ill. j. Barker

tee of the committee on expenditures of

The National Free Press, g Demo

The National Free Press, g Demo
cratic paper in Washington, makes these
observations in its issue of December 7:
We have said that Ingalls, of Kansas
was the only bright man on the Repub-
lican side of the senate Referring TO
him again, We will say that We regard
him as one of the best posted and most
cultivated men In that body, and con-
sentative enough for safe and cautious
legislator. Irrespective of pSrty we ad-
mire man of braIns. Ingalls, has them.
How Kansas has done herself the credit
of sending him to the senate has always
been a mystery to Us. A state has repu
tation and influence in proportion to the
brains she has in congress. Not one
man in five hundred in the state of New
York can give the names of its present
senator's. The cause IS obvious. No
Kansas man of any party ever need be
ashamed of Ingalls,. We regard him as
on the wrong side of the political fence,
but his learning and his eloquence have
given prestige to his state throughout
the whole country, and in the respects
We have named he has perhaps no peel
In the senate. And we say this much
for a brilliant man without regard To
politics. We hope that in the coming
senatorial elections some other political
communities we could name will emu
| late the state of Kansas.

SENATOR PLUME ON THE NEW
YORK 4ENAT0RaHIP


a New York Tribune has been inter-
viewing Senator Plumb on the question
of the New York senatorship in its re-
lation TO New York politics and reports
that gentleman as saying:
The New York senatorship interests
me because the whole Held Of national
politics Is involved IN II. About men l
nave not the slightest care. What l

already verV angry over the outlook. If
the Democrats carry New York for Civ
ernor next year that will be advertise
ment of the fact that the Democratic
combination is complete and will stick.
But, if the Republicans carry New
York, the free-traders will be able TO say
that attention must be paid to the west

The Tribune adds that . gentleman
who heard Senator Plumb's remdrks

You put the case rightly. Now let me

it seems to me, would cement the party
elements. Besides, 1t would take Mr.
Arthur out of the question a. . PrOsi

senator he may run tor governor, b
elected, and become a disturbing ele

Itics to put him IN the senate, and 81
clear the deck for any one who may
come up four years hence, whether

substitution OF forged ballols
found in the envelope when
the same was opened by

that the envelope In question was placed
with others In q large box in the county

VIM. j. Sweeney and WIN. HaYer,
clerks in the Office. A search was
made tor the returns, Biehl finding them

other searchers were directed not TO
