not to forget that the approaching cam
palgn for the Presidency opens with the
advantages, Largely on the Democratic side.
Republicans should not deceive themsel-
yes by looking to the South for a single
electoral vote, With a fair election and
an honest count, several Southern States
would vote for the Republican candidate,
but taking counsel from experience no de-
pendence is to. be placed upon either fair
ness in the vote or honesty in the count.
Therefore Republicans MUST look to the
North for the votes necessary to elect, and
in considering candidates this is not to be
lost sight of.

Inauguration Sandwich.

Buffalo Express.
The Albany Argus is authority for what
seems, in this latitude, rather an cxtraor-
binary statement concerning Democratic
plans for the ceremonies on the occasion of
President Cleveland's inauguration.
According to this authority, Democratic
Senators, Representatives. land other
prominent representatives of the Democrat
Ic party at Washington" have been busily
engaged in arranging for the proper OBJ
servance of Inauguration. The Argus says
it is the desire of these magnates ITO make
no move in the matter that will at all dis
please the chief executive" and-they think
they have decided on plan that will give
entire satisfaction and which, if successfully
carried out, will make March 4, 1885. forever
memorable. 1t is proposed that there shall
be in the inaugural procession battalion of
500 veterans ofthe late Civil War from every
State in the Union, and each battalion shall
carry the flag of its State and the National
colors. Gen. Hancock is spoken Of for
grand marshal, and his staff is to be selected
from the most gallant soldiers of the late
War, In equal numbers, from each army.
The battalions will be sandwiched in to
gether-that is, first one from the North and
then one from the South.

The representatives of fifty millions Of
people are here again to wrestle, for three
months, with appropriation bills and the
lobby. Congress convened to-day at twelve

leading to the Capitol we're crowded with
hurrying pedestrians, eager to secure seats
in the galleries and see the opening On
the floors Of the Senate and House the
same scenes were presented that one sees
annually at each meeting of Congress. A
seeihing mass Of familiar faces of Legislators,
some looking happy and hopeful, others Sc
rious and depressed. There was the usual
handshaking, congratulation, and exchange
of friendly greeting that precedes the OPEN

Congressman say the session is likely to
be busy one. Its brevity will indeed be
an incentive TO activity, There are some
measures already partially considered
which ii will be shame to leave of the
statute books, but there seems to be a gen.
