assignment as Is contemplated by law, since

Which was the purpose for which the assign

Current Comment.

The New York Tribune is now endeayor-
ing to explain why it SO long fed its readers
on false hopes and false fignres respecting
the presidential electoien. If we could have
helped the election of Mr.. Blaine by insist
ing that he was elected, we might have join
ed the general hurrah on our side, but we
knew that, even with the Globe-D Democrat on
his side, Mr.. Blaine could not be inaugural
ed unless the New York footings were in his
favor.-St. Louis-Globe Democrat Rep
Mr.. Blaine made speech at Augusta on
Tuesday eyening which shows more ability
than anythiug he did during the campaign.
proves- shat he accepts the result of the eiec-
iionlin manly spirit, and vindicates his title
to be regarded to-day, and in spite of the re-
suit OF the election, as one of the foremost.
1t not indeed the very foremost, of the lead
ers OF the Republican party. OF course we
do not agree with the views which he ex-
pressed, but thatis no reason why we should
not recognize their Importance and sienifi-
cance.-New York Sun.
The more lawless element of the white
population Of the South have done much by
their conduct toward the celored people to
keep alive their fears, and there are indica-
tions even now that they are contributing by
their reckless words and acts, to the scare
which is threatening mischief to both races,
The more reputable whites have fallen far
short of their duty, it seems to us, in falling
to invite the confidence, allay the fears, and
assure the hopes of the timorous blacks. By
this time they should have felt secure
against political changes, and policy that
recognized their rights and gave promise of
protection would have produced reasona-
pie feeling OF security.-New York Times

The investigation of the Senatorial elec-
tion in the sixth Illinois district, as far as it
has proceeded, reveals pretty clear case of
fraud. AS originally returned the vote of
Leman and Brand, the Republican and Dem
ocratic candidates for Senator, correspond
ed very nearly with the vote for the Repub-
lican and Democratic electors. On the poll
book, however, the vote for Mr.. Leman is
about 200 less than the vote for the Republi-
can electors and the vote for Mr. Brand 200
more than the vote for the Democratic eec-
tors. There appears to have been no rea-
son for cutting Mr.. Lem an and Mr.. Brand
had no elements of strength not common to
the other candidates of his party. These
facts together with the other fact that there
has evidently been an alteration in the fig
ures 10 the poll book make out certainly a
prinaG facie case of fraud and it is now in
cumbent upon the Democrats to show that
the returns are in accordance with the facts.
Owing to the fact that the canvassing board
has no power to go behind the returns Brand
will get his seat, but the Senate can make
full investigation into the matter, and If Brand
appears to have been fraudulently counted
In can turn him out.

Certain Republican newspapers and poll
ticians appear to think that the party is still
too large and are acting as If they desired TO
establish new test of membership and good
standing. to wit, that one must not only as
sent to the well-defined principles of the par
~ aud vote for its candidates, but must
cease to have opinions about policies or can
aidstes that are not held by the majority.
While the ease with which some editors and
politicians can reverse their frmest judg-
ncnts is as wonderful as it is convenient, it
might not be wholly wrong or unwise for
those in whom this accomplishment is high
ly developed to have charity for the unfortu-
nate persons VINO do not change their mind
with equal facility.

1Ae real reason for the refusal to admit
Dakots INTO the Union last winte< was ne
doubt because to do 30 would 1lve the Re-
publicans two more Senator and increase
the Republican electoral vete. AS the Ter
ritory has iu.t given minority of $1,000 for
the Republican candidate for delegate to
Csrgress Its chances of becoming State
this winter are not improved. The pcpula-
sion Of the 7erritery is increasing SO rapidly,
however, that it Cannot be kept out a great
while longer, and the Democrats will pretty
soon have to face the problem Of how to off
set the Republican advantage which will
come from Dakota's admission. Doubtless
the solution will be the admission at the
same time of some Democratic Territory,
like New Mexico, or the division of Texas.
The Hormons evidently hope for the admis-
sisn Of Utah, but we hardly think the Dem
scratic party will have the hardihood to en-
ter into an open alliance with polygamy.

nouncement by the Associated Press, and as
If for the purpose of discredsine it, the Ma
tional Republican Committee issued The fol-
lowing:
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL HEADoUARTERs,
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.
To the Republicans Of the Country.
We have carried New York The ono,o1 corn+
VIII confirm it. Blaine and Logan hey, 81 q eiec-
toral votes, and are elected.
B. f. JONES, Chairman.
SAM'L FEssENDEN, sec'y.
That certainly was not based upon the
Associated Press returns, but it waS positive
and unqualified in its declaration that the
Republicans had carried New York. Later
IN the day the committee issued another adj
dress in which they said ''The belief of this
committee, founded upon Investigation, is
that Mr.. Blaine has plurality of several
hundred votes" Upon these dispatches
thousands of people who knew no better re-
lied and many staked money on Mr.. Blaines
election. The committee has never given
the public an inkling of the grounds upon
which these positive declarations, by which
so many were imposed upon, were based.
We have never criticised the committee
for depending on the figures of the Associa-
ted Press; but nothing too severe has been
said by anybody OF their course after the As
sociated Press figures, and all others entitled
to confidence, ceased to support them. The
chairman now acknowledges that the COM
mittee had no independent returns. This is
confession that all their pretensions after
the Associated Press revised its returns were
bluff aud buster. Probably no competent
journalist was deceived by it, although some
were willing to humor it.

In South Carolina they are considering a
scheme 10 send several hundred Democratic
citizens to Washington to parade in red
shirts at Ceveland's Inauguration. This
would be quite appropriate. The red shirt
was the uniform adopted by the South Caro-
lima intimidators in 1876, when they rode
through the country by night firing guns to
warn the negroes that it would not be safe
for thsn to vote for Hayes and Chamberlain.
They were red shirted Southern Democrats
who massed themselves, mounted and
armed, around the platforms at all Republi
eaa meetings, forcing the negroes to with
draw and demanding half of the time of the
speakers. o yes, by all means, let these
sentry parade at Cleveland's Inauguration
in their suggestive uniform. 1t would be an
object lesson to the people of the Norsn
which they would hardly forget during Pres
ident Clevcland's term.

Mr.. s. E. Redmond, Salt Lake City mer
In Utah that the first thing the Democrats

mons are all Democrats. No doubt the

much indeed; but really We do not see how
they can admit Utah as State without the
consent Of the Senate as 1t ls, and the expec-
tasions of the people of Utah must be disap-

An Explanation that does not Elk
plain.


Chairman B. F. Jones, of the National
Republican Committee, has had converse
tlon with correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Press regarding the claims made by the
National Committee after the election. He
says the committee depended on the Asao-
ciated Press" for its figures, and adds, ''The
Associated Press got the most accurate and
unbiased estimates mark the word, esti-
mdtesl and those were then compiled by q
competent mxn-Mr. Somerville." 1t was
the business of the Associated Press to get
returns Of the actual vote, not estimates.
Mr.. Somervile, who is not employed by the
Associated Press, we believe, but by the
Western Union Telegraph Company, made
dreadful work compiling his estimates on
this occasion. However, we are glad to be
informed on the authority of Chairman
Jones that the committee depended upon
the figures Of the Associated Press.
Eow, on Thursday night the Associated
Press announced that its returns, reported
By precincts, were probably not SO correct as
the returns obtained by the New York pa

the result being plurality for Cleveland al
most the same as that of the papers which
had returns from the counties. This con-
elusion was reached on Friday night and
was given to the country in the papers of
Saturday morning, Nov. Sth. The Asso-
ciated Press never afterwards claimed plu-
rality for Mr.. Blaine. But after this an

After severe labor extending over two
days which must have made the Adonises of
the Argus staff appear haggard, they sue
ceeded in achieving close parody of short

of the Argus are to be congratulated upon
finding in its editorial column on Saturday
an article which was both ineligible and

Senator Don Cameron's friends deny for
him that he ever proposed the plan for keep
Ing Republicans in Office that was attribut-

which he would not be likely to resort.

Hendricks's remarks on civil service re-
form In his Brooklyn speech have afforded
considerable comfort to the "yery hungry
and very thirsty" Democracy who have been
spprehensive Of late that they might now be
filed. One of Hendricks near political
friends is reported as saying that the kind of
civil service reform of the Vice-President
elect is the only kind there will be under
Cleveland's administration. The West and
South, be says, will not permit the bookish
men Of the East TO prevent the Democracy
from securing the fruit of their victory. That
