Since the completion Of the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon Short Line to
Huntington with the Baker City branch
10 the Columbia river, there have been
conveyed numerous persons from the

JAMES F. LEGATE, the man who tried
to dispose of St.John to the Republicans,
at a fixed value, and then crawled out
of his infamous scheme by lying, was
summoned last week to Washington, to
testify before the Springer committee.

fellow, who is in foul repute, mysteri>
,ously hinted that he was the sole pos
SCISSOR of certain information tAat the
Republican management had in con
temptation the murder of leading DEM
ocrats, and of this he would testify. He
was considered an important card by the
partisan committee, who are grabbing at
straws to make showing for the pur+
pose of overthrowing the expressed will
.ofthe people of Cincinnati last fall. When
he came to the witness stand, after one
question he was dismissed,on the ground
that be had no knowledge bearing upon
the election. After he had drawn S210.6O
witness fees, he retired with compIs-
cent smile lighting up his phiz, and con-
graduated himself that he had succeed
ed in securing trip to Washington al
the expense of Uncle Sam.

.Nof an Ranest ResnIt.

Mr.. Hendricks is talking nonsense in
the South about the recent election
Travelling in a special car and enter
tanned by the men he befriended during
the war, he cannot be expected to hear
ofanything that he does not want to
know. But if be should take the trou
bic to gather honest information about
the election in the South, he would per-
haps cease repeating such nonsense as
that uttered in his Atlanta speech.
. "A difference of 1,I42 votes in New
York State did not decide the judgment
of 54,o00,ooo of people. The honest
judgment of the people was not recorded
in the last election. If MIR. Hendricks
will look into the election laws of Geor-
gia, Louisiana,and other Southern States
he will acknowledge the impossibility
of recording the judgment of the people
vannah, including the County of Chat
ham, there was just one polling place at
the last election. All of the white and
colored voters of that city and county,
and particularly the colored voters wno
lived in large numbers fifteen miles
distant, had to vote at that one place il
they voted. But before they could VOTE
they must produce their tax receipts
signed by Democratic official, and they
must be registered by another Democrat
ic official. The election officers were ali
Democrats. and no Republican was al
lowed to see the vote cast OF counted
Every voter had to have his name on the
poll book and bis ballot was numbered
on the back to correspond with bis num-
Der On the poll book, so as to detect any
white man voting a Republican ticket
In counties where there were few white
and many colored voters, the time for
voting was divided equally between the
two races! Under such laws as that il
the State of Georgia Mr.. Hendricks had
the effrontery TO talk of the honest judg-
ment of the peoplel
But Georgia laws and practices are
superior to those of some other South
ern States. In many of the precincts
in South Carolina, where the voters are
nearly ali colored. the polls were not
opened at all in the November election
The Democratic election officers did not
make their appearance, and thus thou
sands of Republicans we're even denied
the poor privilege Of casting ballots. In
Louisiana it was even worse. In one
Congressional district, comprising part
of the City of New Orleans, there were
1000 names on the registration list Of
persons who could mot be fOuDd.R Over
800 Of those names were of persons who
had been dead for long time. Hover
er, they were Democratic voters in New
Orleans at the last election. And yet
Mr.. Hendricks talks of ''the glorious re-
suIt" attained by the honest judgment
of the people! 1t was a result secured
by unblushing and Infamous frauds in
the South, and no more represented the
honest Judgment of the people than did
the result In New York when Tweed
bad the counting of the votes.-N. 7.

COMMENTING on Cleveland's possible
Cabinet appointments, the New York
Graphic evolves the following bits of
wisdom: Daniel Manning would make
an excellent Cabinet adviser to Mr..
Cleveland, but he will not accept. There
is no mistake about this. Smith NJ.
Weed would make an excellent Secreta,
ry of the Interor of Navy Departments,
bat he will not accept. THERE'S no mis-
take about this. Mr.. Manning and Mr..
Weed hope to see Mr.. Whitney in the
Cabinet from this State. They are not
likely to be disappointed. Mr.. Garland
Mr.. Whitney, and Mr.. Bayard will, it is
quite certain, be nominated. Mr.. Bay.
ard may decline, but he will probably
be given the opportunity of SO doing
No statesman from Ohio will be given a
