There was no mistake made in the
nomination of Frank Campbell for
Congress by the Sixth District Repnb-
Iicans. We had with him, it is true,
the solid opposition of the railroads,
but it is a question that may as well
be settled now as later, as TO who owns
the District-the people or the rail
roads In a hundred ways were the
dirty fingers of those corporations
busted to break down Campbell and
help Weaver. 1t is probable that this
would have been the result had the
nominee been some other worthy Re
publican This was the year that the
railroads generally went in on the
other side, and we are glad to know
exactly where to find them-from Van
derbilt down to some of the cheap
creatures in this District, who only re-
Elected the orders of superiors, and
by their acts acknowledged their vassal-
age. The people viii soon learn why
corporate interests were so much er-
ercised against Campbell, and in favor
of Weaver. They never mistake their
man They may water stock" rob
shippers, swindle patrons, but they
never mistake their man in political
deal They knew what they are doing,
and knowing it, do their best for him.

Of the Arrange,

One Of the arrangements made by
Mr.. Weaver with the Democrats, in
order TO secure their solid support, was
that the patronage Of the District-the
post-ofiees and such things-should be
given to them, and that deal will be
recognized. Already leading Demo
Gratis have been selected for the places.
and Mr.. Weaver viii do his best to seat
them The Democrats do not show
any siackwardness about joining the
-borde of Federal officials" abodt which
we have heard 50 much, and the only
thing which troubles them is the
barrierof a Republican Senate. Green
hackers, for the purpose of holding
Office under Democratic administTa-
ton, are not desirable.

country is safe for q time from any

ing OF rebel claims. And the healthy
enactments put into the laws 81 the

What remains for the Republicans to

Two years ago Mr.. Weaver made a
speech at Leighton, and among other
things be said: you ought to elect,
by the people direct your postmasters.
You cannot trust the politicians.
Just bring the government down TO the
people and let the people govern. This
is a republic in the letter, and this is a
republic in the spirit and life" We
await to hear from brother Weaver on
that proposition. It would be a popular

Mr.. Weaver, in his Iowa Tribune,
does not feel much enthused over the
q Democratic victory. 1t says: THE
great bank, railroad, telegraph and
other mOnopOlies may feel perfectly
safe while the people can grind in the
mill just the same as heretofore. Here
is comfort for the millionaires, but not
for the millions. The OppreSsor is
safe. The legal highwaymsn is safe.
The panie-makers can 60 on with their
murderous chenes Of plumber, and this
is the victory the country is asked to
celebrate" Mr.. Weaver viii come

stand in due time.

There is great fear among the
colored people in the South that slavery
will be re-eStablished- That fear as a
matter Of law, is groundleSs; as matter
of fact, arrived at by many acts of race

ished TO all intents and purposes. The

cruelty of individual oppression in the

Of bitterness for him.
