sents from the bill reported. The
Judge says; "The Office and duty
which nature has devolved upon wo-
man during all the active and vigor-

render it impossible, and still more
often indelicate, for her to appear
and act in caucuses, conventions or
elections, or to act as a member

Mr.. Edmunds, whose candidacy

The number Of delegates in the
Republican National Convention
VIII De o20;a majority and not two
thirds is sufficient to nominate, the
two-thirds rule being that of Demo
cratic National Conventions. There
are two delegates for each United
States Senator and two for each
member of the National House, two
for each of the Territories and the
District of Columbia.
The New York World informs it's
readers that no Republican is so OBJ
noxious to Mr.. Tilden as Senator
Edmunds.
Political managers have their en-
ergies concentrated just now on the
question Of nominations. But it is
as well to remember that other little
matter, the election, which is to
come later. To nominate candi-
dates whom there is no reasonable
chance of electing would be the
height of folly. Let the boomers
bear that in mind.
The Boston Herald says "The
Chicago Tribune is pleased to re
mark that "The Edmunds presiden-
tial glacier-for so cold a man as
the Vermont senator could not be
said to have a boom-slid forward
few feet farther yesterday" The
comparison is better than the author
knew, in some ways. A glacier is
irresistible, for one thing. Nothing
can stay 1t. 1t pulverlzes whatever
gets in its way-as the proprietors
of several friable presidential booms
have already discovered. If cold,
the glacier is pure. A river of ice
is more admirable than river of
mud. There is something majestic,
and even inspiring about the slow
moving, but resistless mass of crys-
tai. We recommend to those who
are in its path to beware of the ed
munds presidential glacier"

who can carry the debatable States.

"Oh, do tell usr" ehorused both girls.
"Wal," said the deacon, @it was when | was

the boys, when In came Black John"
who Is Black john" asked the girls.
@Wal, he was a curis old fellow, as black
as the ace Of shovels, as the fellow said. He
used TO drive a gray hoss about, a-peddlin'.
He was mighty proud Of that boss, and he
Dragged that he could beat any boss in town

THE CHARGE SUSTAINED.

One fact in regard to the campaign
paper known as the Erena0 Chronicle
stands forth from the mass of other facts
as conspicnously as a zig gag fence.
The fact is this.
There is no possible provocation for the
publication of the paper, except on the
basis that it is really, though covertly,
printed in the interest of a few candidates
on the Republican County ticket.
What s~ustains it2
The paper does not contain n single
line Of advertisement for which a cent is
paid, aud the sheet is gratuitously distrib-
uted about the streets of the city. The
publisher does MT even undertake to re
ceive cord-wooi in return for subscriptions
to his paper, which is the subterfuge to
exist resortci To by the backwood's edi-
tor.
On what, then, eoc. t exist
Those who know publisher, Mr..
Boutwell,, know that ~ most exalted
ambition is not bald glory unadorned with
ducats. He is too practical for that. The
statement that the paper is issued with
the single object of advertising its pub
Usher is too utterly preposterous in this
age OF reason to merit serious considera-
ton.
Ii will be remembered that Immediately
upon the appearance Of the split-ticket
paper, every individual Democrat men
toned in it addressed a letter to the edi-
tor of the Chronicle in which he une-
~quivocally objected to such a use of his
name OF the ground of absolute and EN-
phatic fealty to the entire Democratic
ticket.
About the same time TUE LEADER
made Il disclosure of who were backing
the concern. The facts then mentioned
were borne out by certain knowledge and
THE LEADER entirely believed in them
then as it does now.
Have the Republicans her mentioned
availed themselves Of the columns of the
chronicle to deny the statements made 7
They have not.
Have they come a over their own
signatures to publicly deny all direct or
indirect connection with the paper?
They have o
Is not then the onus of the publication
on them, and is not our original charge

JUDGE AND PROSECUTOR.

A contest involving the possession Of
some land taken up under the Desert Act
is in progress before the Register and Re-
ceiver in this city. The present holder of
the land isa gentleman named Battle
youn. The persons eontesting::his claim
are represented by Mr.. r. J. Stanton,
who appears in their behalf in the trial as
their attorney. During the trial Battle
youn appeared as a witness and testified
TO a certain state of facts. A warrant for
his arrest on the charge of perjury was
Immediately issued by Mr., Stanton, who
holds the position of United States Com
missioner. Mr. Battleyoun wa forced to
appear before Mr.. Stanton and give bonds
for his appearance at a hearing to be had
at a future time.
The LEADER knows nothing whatever
about the merits of tho ques-
ton under investigation in the
land case, nor does it care to
know. That has nothing Whatever to do
with the particular feature Of the case in
volving Mr.. Battleyoun 5 arrest. The
proceeding is certainly a remarkable one
hat permits a prosecuting attorney in a
case to issue IL warrant for the arrest of
his principal opposing witness, cause the
mar to be brought before him and then,
in a judicial capacity, to pass upon the
question of whether or not he should be
committed to jail to await his trial by the
Court.
IL seems to us a mixing mp of two very
different and distinct capacities, a duality
OF Offices, as it were, usurped by Il single
individual.
Whatever the law may be in the matter
the common sense and justice of the case
clearly demonstrate that MIR. Stanton has
overlapped and intermixed the duties of
divergent positions in a way that should
call down upon him a vigorous and em-
phatic neprimand from headquarters
