WHY RATS DESERT A SINKING
SHIP.

Editor Democrat -
AS the principle called instinct in
certain Of the lower order of ami
mails forewarn them Of approaching
danger and to flee therefrom, SO
does reason and intelligence in the
higher order naturally create q de-
sire to investigate truth, to sift the
wheat from the chat, in order that
virtue and honesty may find their
Just reward. We cannot more for
chilly illustrate our meaning than
by referring our readers to the pre-
sent exciting political canvass, hap
PLY so near its close, so remarka-
BILE and degrading spectacle Of a
Presidential nomination as that of
the Republican party was never be-
fore made. The andacity Of the
candidate himself, his cunning and
daring, his so-called personal mag
netism, it was hoped by Ills hackers
would override all opposition and
carry him with a whoop to the goal
of his ambition. Hence they de-
clared they would inaugurate an
aggressive campaign. What has
that boosted aggressiveness amonn-
ted to- Simply the most abject
and false denials Of himself and his
friends when his corrupt and venal
record is brought to light. Him
self and the Republican party have
been his accusers, and SO damning
is that record that everywhere by
scores, hundreds and tens Of thou
sandsis his own party deserving his
standard, declaring him utterly UNI
worthy and unfit as q ruler over a
great people, whose aim is freedom,
whose watchwords are honor and
honesty, fair and inst dealing to-
wards all. With such a record as
that Of james G. Blaine, stained as
it is as a self-convicted corruption
list, the venal trafficer, the political
trickster and gambler, and finally
the perjurer, is now held up as wor-
thy Of the exalted position Of ruler
over this free and enlightened ma
ton. But, thank God the honest
and best portion Of his own party
have the independence to say they
can have neither part or lot in the
elevation Of such character. They
truly say success under Blaine
would be both party and national
disgrace and degradation. By no
more efectual means could annihi-
3lation be brought on the party than
by his election. The party Of Lin
coin and Chase and Sumner and
Seward and a mighty host Of their
co-workers had honor and honesty
emblazoned on its standard = these
were its guiding stars. It would be
d PROCLAMATION to their memories to
thus elevate a man who never re-
cognized the binding force Of eli
Their. If such stigma is to rest on
this nation we will not aid or abet
in the degradation. All honor to
such whose high sense Of moral dn-
ty teach them that a party without
principle is but a sham, a cheat.
Hence they illustrate their manhood
by a separation from it. Every
sacred principle Of justice, honor

They Met in the Car.

"There," she said, as she raised
a window in a Pullman car the
other day, "now 1 can breathe.
The air in this car is stiaing. Why
don't they have better ventilation?
If l couldn't sit next to an open
window l believe l should die"
Presently a slender female sit.
ting directly back leaned over and
asked her if she wouldn't Just as
lieve close that window now, as
the draught was more than she
could stand.
"No, sadam. l shall not. close
this window. l could not live
with it down. / was just think
ing how delightful it was with it
open, now you want it shut, but /
shall not shut it; so there"
"Then you are a selfish thing,
and / shall have to change my
seat"
Just then a gentleman sitting
close by reached over and said:
Ladies, that window being raised
makes no difference, as this car
has double windows, and not a
breath Of air can possibly get
through the one that is still
down."
Then the one that had raised
the window turned to the other,
and, with a crushed look on her
face, said: MADAM, l beg your
pardon, but l think two fools have
met at last"
