The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1884-07-05

We publish this weeks article of the
Bristol News in full. We dose mainly
because the Neaos requests it, and for
the further reason that we want The
COMETS readers to see and know the
motives that tho editor of that paper
says caused him to change the convic-
tons of life time. And right here
VIC bog to inquire whether the editor
of the NeWs has thrown off the "paint-
ed blanket" and revealed himselfin all
his Republican hideousness and de-
formity, or whether he has donned the
painted blanket to cover up his former
ultra and rabid Democracy? We ask
this question because we know the NemS
is an expert on the painted blanket
question.
But to the article of the Mems, which
contains little else than bold assertions
and mistatements of facts. We have
not complained of lack of time. We
have not argued that the Ncms had no
right to change its politics, provided
he has "goed valid and subsisting
reason" for so doing, We mean to
say no one will stand justified in the
eyes of men, or stand acquitted at the
bar Of his own conscience, who deserts
his party and changes his principles
without such reason. That is all we
have asked the NeiOs to give us. That
Is all We want. The tariff or other
political questions have nothing to dc
with the discussion, except as they may
throw light in that direction. We arc
not expecting any man to change and
join the Democratic party without a
reason. But myriads of tho better ele
ment of the Republican party are
deserving Blaine. The great dailies o.
New York and Boston havo said they
could not support him. Take theil
reasons for their nonsupport and com
pare them with those given by tn,
News for joining the Republicans
They refuse to support Blaine on &C
count Of his personal corrupt record
questions OF the day, while the edito
of the Ncws draws his painted blank
ct" about him and tries to hide benin,
the wornout, worm eaten tariff plank
that was an old question in polite
long before tho Republican party ha,
an existence.
The News says that it has told IL
that Democracy had no unity am
therefore ought not to claim to be
party" We have told the Mems tina
that sounds like the cry of the dcserte
who leaves his own army routed
scattered and bleeding, and joins tn
we'll fed ranks and solid columns c
the enemy in order to be on the wiz
ming side. We have again told tn
Mems that Geo. VIM. Curtis and Her
nv Ward Beccher and hundreds {
other prominent Republicans, and tn
N. Y. Times, N. Y. Herald and score
of great newspapers have refused I
help Blaine, and that the Republica
party is, therefore, hopelessly divide'
and according to the Ne~s' idea ougl
not to claim to ne a party. The Ncp
says it has shown that "a tariff for re'
enue only" would ruin the counir
Il has done nothing OF the kind.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1884-07-05

Thus we see that there are l53 plcc-
toral votes which arc ordinarily regard
ed as sure to be Democratic, ia
electoral votes which are set down as
surely Republican, and "a electoral
votes that arc doubtful. There are in
all 401 electors, and the votes OF 201 OF
them are necessary to choose Presi-
dent. Now, the Democrats having 15S
sure, need 48 more to give them the
majority; and the Republicans
having ia sure, need 81 to give thom
a majority.
Thus if the Republicans hold all the
States which are set down as theirs
and get Now York in addition, they
will elect Mr. Blaine, even though
California, Connecticut, Indiana, and
New Jersey should go to the Demo.
Gratis. On the other hand, if the Dem
ocrats hold all the States that are con.
coded to them, and in addition carry
California, Connecticut, Indiana, and
New Jersey, but not New York, they
will still come ten short of majority
while if they carry Now York ant
Indiana or New York and any two o
tho other doubtful States, they viii
have votes enough and their candidate
will be elected.
Thus it appears that, while New
York is not indispensable to the Re
publicans, it is indispensable to thu
Democrats. They cannot get alonl
without it, and the great question TO
them to consider is how to carry Nov
York. In saying this we only sa,
what has already been said q thousan'
times by other judicious politica
arithmeticians.--N. Y. Sun.

There need be no fear that the in.

in any perceptible degree give aid
or comfort to Mormon law breakers.
Congress can pass laws to convict
and punish polygamists and the
President can appoint other officers
to execute them. The list of men
