is to get rid of its restraints. The
comments of the Democratic press
on this case. and the resurrection by
it of the doctrine of State rights, as
opposed to Federal interference
with elections, clearly indicate pro-
posed action by the Democratic par
ty, in the interest of the old BULLDOG
ing oligarchy of the south. Let the
people be warned in time that it is
the purpose of the Democracy to
shake off all Federal restraint, and
drift back to the policy of that party
before the war.

There is something pitifully anus

the responsibility for the late Repub-

any reference to their past action is

their wisdom they might hope the

Johnstown Tribune.

Johnstown Tribune.
The article published elsewhere
in to-day's Tribune from the N. Y.
Tribune, in which it commends the
action of the New Haven Republi-
cans in not permitting the Inde-
pendents to take part in the nomi-
nation of candidates tor city offices,
is a remarkable flop on the part of
that paper. If the Republicans
who supported Grant in 1872, and
Folger and Beaver in 1882, had
kicked out all who voted against the
regular Republican nominees, there
would be no Republican New York
Tribune, and no Whitelaw Reid to
lay down rules for the governance
of the Republican party in the year
of grace 1884. 1t was right, in the
estimation of that paper, for Greeley,
Sumner, Schurz, Curtis. ct al. to
kick against the regular organization
in 1872, and for Stewart, Wolfe,
Bayne, ct al, in 1882 in Pennsyl-
vania, and Reid, Curtis, Robinson,
ct al, to kick against Folger in New
York in 1882, because the organiza-
ton was in the hands of men the
HalfBreeds didn't approve of, but
it is very sinful to kick against an
organization that the Half-breeds
do approve of. II may be well to
remember that organization and
harmony are as necessary to politi-
cal as to business success, and that
what is injurious to party at one
time is not likely to be beneficial at
another time.

The Omaha Herald says: 1.-THE
first thing the Democrats under
the lead of President Cleveland
ought to do is to repeal the Federal
election law which authorizes the
invasion of States by hirelings call
ed United States marshals to awe
the people at the ballot boxes. The
Democratic party will wipe this vic
ious and villainous statute out as
the most dangerous law in exist
ence, SO far as the right of the people
to free elections is concerned" One
reading Democratic papers would
suppose the United States was the
uncle to the Car of Russia instead
Of General Uncle Sam. A United
States man, who holds so contempt
ible an opinion of his country, should
pack his traps and leave. The talk
about the invasion of States by
hirelings called United States mar
shals" is, to say the least, not the
talk of patriot. Democrats, how
ever, desire to renew their old
"State-right" doctrine, and set it up
by the side of "free trade" their
only living issue. Let them do it.
Uncle Sans boys will attend to
them.

Blaine as a Dodger.

One of the manifestations of the i'm
moral character of our public men is
s.dodging'' 1t is witnessed almost
daily in both chambers of Con oress
Hardlya division is taken on public
question or measure that is not pre-
coded by the rapid disappearance of
some great statesman in cloak-room,
or his sudden recollection that he has
an important appointment exactly at
that moment in some other part of the
capitol. The real motive of his action
is that of a political coward, OF truck
ling politicastro, who wishes to avoid
any record of an opinion on the aues-
ton lest it should be used to his disad-
vantage in some future election. 1t is
the trick of political knave, not the
act of an honorable statesman, who
never is afraid to hold and to declare
his opinions on public questions.
At the recent election in Maine a pro-
posed prohibition clause was sub
mitted for Incorporation in the provin-
cial charter. Mr.. Blaine. who appears
to have taken great pains to. exhibit
himself at the voting booth in his pre-
cinct, did not vote on that proposition.
That is to say. he s'dodged.'' After
ward, in stump speech to crowd of
his admirers, he took pains to state
