A young man named j. Z. Dolli-
yer was made temporary chairman
of the Iowa Republican state con
vention the other day, and in his
speech acknowledging the compli-
ment, devoted some time TO COM
menting upon the characteristics of
the Democratic party. His remarks
bristled with bright epigrams, and
are giving him national reputation
for the keenness of his wit. Here
are few specimens:
A SIMPLE CREED.
Modern Democrats of the practi-
cal school have no creed except the
oath of office.
THE FRAUD OF '76.
The descendants of Cleopatra
might as well bring suit against the
estate of Mark Antony as for the
Democratic managers to parade the
venerable gentlemen who were
caught between the wheels of the
Electoral commission.
THE "INDEPENDENTs."
There are Republicans who treat
their conscience as if it were the
stock in trade of baking-powder
factory. They solemnly protest that
everybody's conscience has alum in
it except theirs.
DTsCoURAGING FOR POLITICAL DUDES
The campaign will last long
enough to show to every sensible
mans eye that no possible combina-
tion of tight pants and hay-fever can
defeat the anxious will of the real
conscience of this country.
POOR HENDRICKS.
1t is not the fault of Mr.. Hen
bricks that The Congressional Rec
ord connects him with all the blum
ders and treasons Of recent politics
1t is the tax man pays to his gen
Grafton for the luxury of having
been an eminent Democrat.
THE DEMOCRACY AND THE TARIFF.
You might as we'll try to fit The
hundred-headed dog of the ancien
fable with a straw hat as to place a
candid and intelligent tariff platform
under the feet of the Democratic
party. They approach that question
and nearly every other like mar
emptying hard-coal ashes in higl
wind, with their eyes shut and thei
backs to the subject.
NOT so MYSTERIOUS AS THAT.
Gods providence, you may be Ger
tain, never identified the names 0
Blaine and Logan in eternal reputa
ton with the most splendid pages o
American history-the one as
statesman, the other as a soldier
only to see them defeated by per
son who, at the age of "a, deserted
a learned profession to become tn,
hangman of a back county in New
York.

THE arrogance of its leaders, and
their artful aversion of any positive
statement regarding important ques-
tons, were the especial Characters
tics of the late national Democratic
conventions; and it is curious to note
with what condescending aptitude
the organs and leaders of the Dem
ocratic party assume and parade
these particular traits. Even the
editor of the Democrat exhibits such
an anxious solicitude concerning his
political opponents, as leads him, not
only to take exceptions to the edi.
torial management of the TRIBUNE,
but to dictatorially demand of it the
manner in which it intends to treat
a question upon which the editor OF
the Democrat himself dare not ex.
press editorially his moral convic
tons.
In the classic language of recent
editorial utterance, 'Let him stand
up like a little man" and express his
ideas as to the effect upon public or
der, if the Democratic party should
succeed, as it contemplates, in re
moving from the sale of intoxicants
all the regulations as the Legislation
of more than half a century ha'
deemed wise and benifcent.

Two suicides and murder oecurredin Grant
county last week. What is the matter with the
Herald that it has stopped moralizing over the
lawIessness Of the people of the south?-Demo-
crat.
That there has been such thing
as political outrages committed in
some Of the southern states, no one
conyersant with current history pre-
tends to deny. While there may
have been much difference of opin-
ion as to the frequency and extent of
such outrages, yet that they were
committed by Democrats has never
been considered a debatable point.
Nor does anyone openly presume
to justify crimes of such a daring
and fragrant a character; yet Demo
cratic editors have sought to estab-
lish a parallel between such political
outrages aud crimes committed In
Republican districts of the north.
Wherein the parallel exists is diff
cult to determine, unless it shall be
claimed that the Perpetrators here,
as well as there, are Democrats; if
so, then 1t can be readily seen, fol
the commission of suicide and con
fiuement in prison by process of law
will make less Democratic voters
here, the same as the shotgun policy
Of the southern Democrats has made
in some instances at least, less Re
publican voters there.

The Red Cross Work.

not be done. CLARA BARTON,

The above dispatch affords some idea Of the
objects Of this association. its scope, and its
powers for good. When the first note of
danger from the Ohio was sounded, its local
societies. some fifty in number, bestirred
themselves, and their president betook her
self to the field Of action SO soon as disaster
became certain. She is accompanied by an
experienced field agent, who, aided by the
local societies along the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, will distribute far-reaching efficient
and iudicious aid. Money and supplies are
now being forwarded to Cincinnati through
these channels, and the good work will go on
until the great need ceases to exist One of
the striking features of the Red Cross work
lies in the fact that the societies south, seven
of which are in Louisiana alone, are sending
money and supplies to the upper Ohio, even
while the floods are descending upon them

ton stares them in the face
