UNION DEMOCRATS NoTMAppY.
The appointment of Man Who
Fought on Both Sides"

Fought Oh Both Sides"
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, Gen.
Frank Armstrong, of New Orleans (g) was
recently appointed Indian inspector, with
"large powers and responsibilities" Gen.
Armstrong was an officer of the United
States army from 1855 to 1861, when, after
the battle of Bull Run, he cast his fortunes
with the confederacy. 1t is understood he
owes his appointment to Senator Walthall,
of Mississippi, an eX-confederate brlgadier.
There are some Union Democrats in this
city seeking places, which they assume
they are entitled to by virtue of their
Democracy. They are not as fortunate as
Gen. Armstrong in having the influence of
n confederate general behind them and an;
other confederate in Office as dispenser of
official patronage. One, in particular, an
applicant for place in the Indian depart
ment, like Gen. Armstrong, southern
man by birth and education, aud
was an officer of the regular
army, his services ante-dating Arm
strong's several years. But mark the
sequel. lie did not falter in devotion to
the cause of the Union and go over to the
enemy, after the first reverse of the federal
army, but "kcpt due on to the Propontick
and the 1Iellespont,n and resigned his COM
mission at the close of the war on account
of ill-health incurred in the service. He
has had no intimatiOn that he will receive
the appointment sought, although the APP
pointing officer has had ample assurances
Of his ability to satisfactorily perform the
duties Of any place in his gift. This is only
one case in point; others might be men
toned, but this one will suffice.
We find no fault with Gen. Armstrong in
applying for and obtaining the Office Of In
dian inspector, or any other. He doubt

How 1t Happened,

1t will be remembered that at the spring
elections in Virginia the Republicans made
gains everywhere except in Norfolk county.
There an unaccountable Democratic gain
was shown, and the claim was put forth
that the change resulted from large num-
ber Of cOlored men voting with the Demo
Gratis This statement was at once seized
upon by such Cleveland organs as the New
York Post and the Boston Herald, and
paraded as proof of the beneficial effect
a national Democratic administration had
had upon the color line in politics. The
means by which this Bourbon victory was
gained in Norfolk county has just come to
light A defeated Republican determined
to contest his opponents election, and took
the case into court, and the result was the
uncovering of disgraceful mass of fraud.
So incontestible was the proof of this that
the Democrat refused to defend his case,
and declared that he would not hold Office
obtained by such means. This was the first
election held under the new Virginia Bour-
bon ballot-boX law, and the way the Demo
Gratis improved their privileges shows clearly
why they were so anxious to place it on the
statute books Phiiddelphia Press.

Limitation of Legislative powers,

The Illinois supreme court has applied
TO the liquor industry the same principles
which the New York court of appeals re-
Gently affirmed in the oleomargarine case.
II holds that while the legislature may tax,
license, or regulate the traffic in liquor. 1t
has no authority to prohibit the manufac-
ture or sale of 1t. Prohibition may he de-
creed by constitutional mandate, but to
concede this power to the legislature would
be to concede to 1t the power to suppress
any industry or occupation of the people.

"Much Too Big.n

1t appears that the Hon. w. B. Vaughan,
mayor Of Council Bluffs, is anxious to be
nominated for governor by the Democrats
of Iowa. He modestly remarks that he
and one other person he names are the two
most popular men in Iowa, and either of
them could he elected governor without the
least difficulty: We do not believe it.
The Hon. Mr.. Vaughan is too popular with
himself to stand very high in the estimation
of his fellow citizens. A Democratic nom
inee In Iowa is compelled to crawl through
a very small hole before he can get at an
official prize. Mr.. Vaughan's head is much
too big for the hOle.-Chicdgo Ncws.

TnE Philadelphia Times says; "It is
twenty years since the war ended and the

were able to get, soundly deserves defeat

less its opponents prove too selfish aud
