Among ~ theories III are bcing rapid
y exploded intht6 era Of Investigation d
the theory Of the BLAINE organs. recently
elaborated bv the New York Tribune, that
the Dude and the Pharisec are Indigenous 10
tie East--thc section Of the country In
which college professors most do oongrc-
gate. The idea Of those organs, based, Il
sccms, upon rather cursory examination,
end influenced perhaps by prejudice. was
that these two specimens OF the genus homo
were evolved from an efFe.e culture by the
action Of an atmosphere surcharged vita
the yoiatilixed essence OF Greek roots,
French verbs, Latin exercises, and the one
ness OF the thingness Of characterization.
They held that owing 10 certain magnet
ism that pervadcd tho atmosphere o. the
West. Dudes and Pbsrisees could not
spring up in that section, and that any
effort 10 transplant them would be attended
with fatal results. Nevertheless, sporadic
cases Of Dudism and Phsriseeism were
noted In the West as far back as July.
This set the correspondents and news
paper men generally 10 investigating,
snd the results Of their labors are
calculated 10 prove most mortify-
ing TO the papers that protested 70
he authority on this point. The inquisitiye
saibes not only discovered that the Dude
and the Phsrisee do flourish In the robust
West, but that there 10 marked absence
Of the peculiar magnetism alluded 10 by
The Tribune and It's disciples. Further.
they have proved conclusively that the
Dude and Pharisee are not evolved as
those organs claim. but. on the con-
irary, ere the product OF an spprecis-
ton Of common honesty, and under
The law OF natural selection gTayitate
towards reform. II is true that the eyolu-
ton OF The Dude and the Pharisec has been
marked by less noise in the West than it
has been in the East. but the fully-develop-
cd specimens are none the less vigorous.
Even Illinois gives evidence which Is sub
yersiye OF the efTcte culture and magnetic
theory. In July alot OF Dudes and Pharl-
sees were evolved in Chicago. who got to-
gethcr and formed provisional commit |
tee. with the understanding that nothing |
wss TO be done until the canvass was fairly |
opened. A few evenings Ego they had |
another meeting. and permanent organi-
cation was effected. No attempt was made |
10 find out the exact number OF the species |
in tie city, but the conversation indicated |
that the number was pretty large; and re.
ports were read demonstrating that their |
evolution WIS not freak Of Chicago cul- |
ture. The process was, il was stated, going |
on rapidly in the rural districts and viii |
lages-one village showing, out Of
total vote OF four hundred, twenty |
five active, hearty specimens. The
plap OF organization and programme
Of work adopted at the Chicago meeting
are similar TO the plans OF organization and
programmes Of work that obtain in the
East-e fac. which negatives in advance the
claim that may be made by those who are
welded to the efote culture and magnetic
theory that the species in the two sections
Of The country do not tend to the same final
deyclOumCni.

,nto a question OF honest Government. The
one.tion OF personality was the prime prin-

interruption or single response TO the
direct questions Of Blaine's dishonesty put
IN the Blaine Republicans who were pres
ent. 80.
A prominent Republican. speaking OF the

Buffers Prediction.

In a speech which he made on Tuesday
at Lincoln, Neb., TO the Anti Monopoly
and Grcenbaek state Conventions, COM
bined, General BUTLER said the Anti-Mo
norolists need not fear fusion, as CLHvR-
LAND would win II he carried New York,
and lose II lie did not. He said that he
(Br1LER) could not be elected, as CLsvE-
LAND would have i45 1854 votes in the
South. which he tBUTIgR) would hsye with
free ballot and fair count.
BvILER knows OF course that he is no
candidate except in name. When be says
be could carry the South, he means, we
suppose, that he could take the negro vote
swsy from BLAINE II he had fair chance :;
for /, is hardly to be assumed that Butler
Is such fool as 70 flatter himself that any
southern man would vote for him.

Hopkins for rtel6 elton by the Democrats oi
itsbuIgh-although ne had positively de.
cliuod-is . most deserved mark Of respect
10 enc Of the tTuest men and best Demo-
Gratis in the Union. On the questions Of
the day, barring the tariff, where all the

Is man OF sturdy and enlightened conyic-
tons. He is also most Woodworking and
pains-taking member Of the House. and his
district, not he, will be proiited ly his re-
turn Louisville COuriCr-JOWnal.
That is a well-deseryed compliment to a
sound Democrat. But it is entirely neu-
tralized by slur upon Mr.. RANDALL in the
same issue Of the Courier journal. Mr..
WA7TERsoN lauds Mr. HOPKINS, who is a
devoted friend and supporter of Mr.. RAN
PAIL, and in the same breath prOnounce'
Mr.. RANDALL. who holds exactly the same
opinions rs Mr.. HOPKINS, a "traitOr."
WAITrRsoN's folly caused the defeat Of
HANCOCK in 1880. and If it Goes not cause
the defeat Of CLEVELAND in 1884 ii will not
be his fault.

Tire Next Elections.

Georgia will lead off in October. On
The first Wednesday will take place the
State election. IL will result as favorably
10 The Democrats as did the recent elections
in Maine and Vermont TO the Republi-
cans. VIII anybody claim result
which was expected confidently, not
10 say known beforehand. rs GER
tain Indication Of the election of CLBvE.
LASDt The Democrats carried Arkan-
sas last week by a sweeping minority.
The same week the Republicans carried
Vermont by sweeping majority. Nobody
expected Arkansas 10 vote the Republican
ticket or Vermont to vote the Democratic
ticket. So as TO Name. The most SAN
guine Of Democrats never expected the De-
mocrats to carry that State, though, no
doubt many Democrats hoped. as did we.
that IL might do better than ii did for the
Democracy.
The lesson we would teach Is that until
Ohio votes. there will have been no cleo
tion held this year which either party will
have a right to point TO as foreshaaowing
the success Of its candidate for President
Of the United States. On the one hand,
we Dragged none over the falling off in the
Republican majority in Vermont On the
other hand, we are not at all discouraged
10y the result in Maine. But on the 1ith Of
October the presidential election will he
decided if the Democrats carry Ohio,
whilst II the Republicans carry it the fight
will still 20 on IN spite Of the boom that
large majority there would give to BLAINE.
