In reply TO tho radical Bourbon press
which keeps up its criticism of Mr..
Blaine's last Augusta speech, In which he
demanded an equal representation In Con-
grsss for the man who fought to preserve
the Union with those who fought to de-
siroy II, we reproduce below two para
graphs, the first from tho Richmond, Va,
Whig and the second from tho New York
Sun, Democratic.
The Wing says: "The fscts remain
nevertheless, precisely as Mr.. Blaine states
them. He did not make these tacis. nor Ii
he in any wise responsible for them. There
they are. What is to he done about theml
You seem to utterly forget, too, that the
South ought TO have had the right TO vote
for Mr.. Blaine il il liked but, as every
body in the South knows, no such right
apologisis OF Bourbon bulldoLing, pro-
scriplion and terrorism are the vllest oil

The Sun says: "Mr. Blaine made o
apeech at Angnsts, on Tuesday evening

he did during the campaign. proves that
he accepts the result OF the election in q

From the Cleveland Penny Press.)
Tho Republican party is now solid. II
has been shorn OF some of its blgness but
what remains is a compact mass. The
domineering stal warts, the mugwumps, and
the holy willys have all gone over to the
Democrats, and the Prshibitionists have set
up housekeeping for Themselves. The Re
publican party is therefore in good shting
shape. On the other hand, there are signs
Of trouble ahead for the Democracy
Having acquired Curtis. Beecher, Conkling
Harper's Weekly, Evening Post, and New
York Times, it has become the "God and
morality party" for the nonce and must
behave itself and 60 to church. The severe
moral discipline TO which the party will he
subjected is likely 10 breed riot at any
moment. 1t is possible the ruction may
be postponed until the d'stribu ten Of
cabinet and othor Offices begins. When
the new elements in the partisan herd try
10 crowd the old liners away from the
trough, the circus will commence forth
with. If things don't 60 to suit the new
allies Of Democracy, they will bolt against
and flock somewhere by themselves. All
things considered, the Democracy is to bs
commiserated on the prospect Immediately
before it.

The fact thrt the two leading positions

standpoint. The election OF Gov. Cleye-
land TO the Presidency will make Lieut..
Governor David b. Hill, Governor in due
course Of time. 1t is announced that Gov.
Cleveland will resign early In the new
year, and Mr.. Hill will be inaugurated in
January, 1885. This event has brought
MIR. Hill from the obscurity 10 which he
was consigned by being elected to the office

insight into his deplorable condition, and

would appear that he would have been the
better man to put In the place to which
| Mr.. Cleveland has been elevated:
David b. Hill was bora at n hamlet In
Chemung county, New York, eighteen or
twenty miles north Of Elmira. He went
to Elmira about twenty years ago, az a
young lawyer, and was welcomed by some
| of the leading men of that city. His fame
az n politician had proceeded him. In lis

Mr.. Hill had hsen in Elmra only one day

years he has lived in Elmira. lie has
elegant quarters else where in the city
where he generously entertains his friends
His favorite amusements are the theater
and concert room, and his serious pursuits

attained more than merely local sminence.
With the exception Of the good woman
who prepares hi- meals, Mr.. Hill is said tt
maintain no acquaintance with females

interest to Ills. early removal to the Execu

GEISIIYiIANDERING.
The Cleveland Leader saws

To show the villainous character Of the DEM
ocratic gerrymandering OF Ohio. the Republicans
%n e, ony
men out of twenty-one II the State had been
fairly districted the Republicans would have had
next Legislature will be Republican, when the
Democratic partisan work will be undone and q
fair redistricting of the State will be had.
The majority in the Congressional Dis
tricts in October ia over $4,000 instead of
10000 as the Leader states it, but that only
emphasizes what it says upon that point.
As to gerrymandering, both parties prac-
tice IL, and each one 10 as dishonest as the
other. The injustice of the present dis.
tricts Is seen in the $4,000 congressional
majority Of party that elects only min
orily of the Congressman. But it was n
Republican Legislature that disgraced It
self with scheme of Congressional dis
tricts OF which one was thirty miles from
north to south, and over a hundred from
east to west, as follows: Wyandot, Craw-
ford, Richiand, Ashland and Holmes,
wiggling across half OF the State like a
snake. 1t was y Republican Legislature
too that carved out the XIV district ss-
pecial!y for one man who was party to the
infamy and who was ignominously defeat
ed; district comprised by Ashland
Huron, Lorraine and Richland, shamefully
short Of the required population by over
10000.
Undoubtedly il left TO SO fair minded a
citizen ms the controlling editor OF tile
Leader, such periodic and unexcusable ex-
amples of The unscrnpnlous dishonesty of
partisan maiorities would not disgrace
both parties alike. 1t is much 10 be de-
sired that law, or even \ constitutional
amendment should DO passed requiring
that in the formation Of Congressional II
| districts, that plan should be preferred
which combined IN the greatest degree
compactness Of form and approI oIimalion
o! population to the number Of inha abitants
aportioned. While the Legislature should
be left to make these districts they should
be subject to change upon demonstrated
proof that the change proposed exhibited
a closer average approximation to the ap-
porliOnment Of population aud a more
compact territorial form. 1t should be
required too, that no system should be
adopted that gave either political party
more than two Congr.ssmen in excess Of
what would be the proportion of each ~
shown by the average vote Of the State a,
! the three last general elections, and that q
districting thus formed should remain un
iii the next Congressional re-apportion-
ment.
The sysiem Of politics in each stste and
in the Nation, instead of being a wise ad-
ministration Of the Affairs ol the people by
themselves for their best interests is fast
becoming a disgraceful and demoralizing
system based upon n contest which party
can most successfully Violate the law with
out becoming amenable to punishment fol
such crime.
Like the trickling stream in dyke that
will eventually sweep away the barriei
tion of every principle oi honesty by riva
parties will eventually destroy our polite
al safe guards and merge States and thu

A YOUNG TRAMP.
Ten. Year.0ld RoY

From Kansas to Ohio on Feet by a
Ten-Year.Old Boy.
(From the Defiance Expressly
Special Policeman A. B. Woodruff tells
a story of the tramp Of a ten.year. old boy
that puts to rout anything of the sort we
have heard of yet.
Mr.. Woodruff sister, a Mrs. Babcock,
lives in North western Kansas, where her
husband follows farming and cattle rails
ing. Their ten year old boy. Frank, the past
summer, has been employed as a herder of
his fathers cattle. Two or three times
his parents say, the boy complained of not
liking the work or the country. Eacl,
time his father said to him il he did not
like the country he better go back to Ohio,
but never thought he would attempt such
a feat.
But one day last September the boy
Frank was missing, Search was made, and
inquiries sent In every direction. Nothing
was heard Of him until about two weeks
after his Disappearance, when farmer,
who happened to stop with the Babcock',
over night, in his conversation told of a
little fellow abont ten years old who had
stopped at his place one evening, and ask
ed 10 stay all night. From this discrip-
ton the father and mother concluded il
was their boy Frank, though the story told
by the boy To the man who gave him sl,rl.
ter was that his parents had died and left
llm alone. The one part of the story that
convinced them that il was their boy, wa.
that which the clild told ot hi. grand
parents living in Ohio, in town with
sever=t railroads.
| From this time on they never heard any
thing Of the boy. In the meantime the
parents had written to their friends in
FoslOria, the place where the boy was snp-
posed to he headed for, telling ,i,em vf his
dIsappsara.ce from home. The anxiety
of all tho boys friends was becoming in.
tense. In fact, nbout all hope of ever Sce.
ing him again Was fast being given up
They could hear nothing of him from the
time he left the farmers house, and il wa.
generally concluded the boy had gon.
astray or lad died alone.
II WAS somewhat startling to liis grand
parents, the Mr.. Woodrufi's of Fosloria
when one day last week lie walked IN upon
them. Frank had made the entire trip
alone and on foot. Aud while he looked
just little but like the ordinary tramp
slill he did not seem to have suffered any
from the fatigues Of his journey.
Immediately on his ARRIVAL his parent,
were apprized Of his wherea bouts. who viii
no doubt rejoice 10 learn Of the safely O
their iruant child.
