SectiOnaliSm.

A stalwart organ OF the Republi-
can party says: "In the sixteen
States of the South there are no
elections-ouly q count. Even now
their one hundred and ffty-three
electoral votes are counted for 1883,
and no contest for them will be
permitted. A man who truly loves
his country, truth and right, will not
utter such statements. A man who
truly and earnestly desires to see
good feeling and harmony restored
between the North and the South
will not give expression to state
ments 80 entirely destitute of sense
and 40 devoid of truth. But on
the contrary a man who seeks to
SOW the seeds of discord, strife and
civil war would say exactly what the
organ above referred to says. The
man who would now attempt to
plunge the country into civil strife
by laying before the people such un-
founded and inexcusabIs charges
against the honesty and integrity of
over twenty millions Of people can
have a love or regard for neither
truth, country or humanity. There
is just as much reason for saying
there are no elections only q count
in Illinois as in Missouri; in Iowa
as in Kentucky in Rhode Island as
in Delaware; in Maine as in Virgin.
ia; in Colorado as in West Virginia;
in Oregon as in Florida; in Wiscon-
sin as in Tennessee; in Michigan as
in Texas; in Ohio as in Mississippi,
and every intelligent person knows
it. No, there is a we'll grounded
conviction in the minds of many
Republican leaders that the only
hope of restoration of their party
to power lies in very free use of
the bloody shirt. They cling to the
belief that in appealing to the pas
sions and bitter prejudices of the
past they can SO arouse the animos-
tiles formerly existing between the
North and South as to solidify pol
iticsl sentiment in the North and
thus place them in power again.
But this will not succeed. The peo-
pie en- mass are utterly disgusted

Offensive PartiSanShip.
nited States Democrat.

The way is clear to ride through
the Civil Service Republican barri-
cade and prevent Democratic re-
verses.
The law declares that offensive
partisanship is of itself a sufficient
cause for removal and appointment
OF a new man. Every kind of polit-
ical animosity, antagonism and inter
est in an opposing party is offensive
partisanship. In truth every kind,
class and degree of partisanship is
offensive to the opposing party. \
man who was an expert once said
that there IVES no such thing as poor
whisky. That some whisky was
much better than others. but that
there was no poor whisky. So with
partisanship. 1t is all offensive, and
the most offensive kind is voting.
That is sticking knife right square
into the vitals of the opposition.
The man who is not an offensive par
tisan is political cunuch, who
ought to be put in box with snakes
and exhibited as a bifurcated speci-
men of living coldness. He has no
ambition beyond q bank account.
He is not worth damning or praying
for. A drone in the hive.
Per contra, every member Of an
opposing party is an offensive parti-
san. His wishes and his work, Sc
cretly and openly; his voice, and
above all, his vote is against us.
Hundreds of men talk at hotels.
boarding houses, lunch rooms and
elsewhere in the most offensive parti-
san manner, but are not able to make
even one convert or to influence n
vote. But they skip off to the bal
lot box and there get in their often
sive partisan work.
Were we in official position as a
Democrat, with power to discharge
for offensive partisanship, we should
dismiss at once every man who held
over from the old gang, with vote
hid in HIS vest pocket ready to slap
at US again. There is no line of de
marcation in snakes. All snakes are
snakes, regardless of size. All Dem
ocrats are offensive partisans to Re-
publicans and all voting Republicans
are offensive partisans to Democrats.
We should not wait for q man to
say that our mother was q lightning
rod peddler our father q gimlet-eyed
wash-woman, that we were lousy
son of a female dog. or that ou,
party was a conglomerate of hoise-
thieves and hoodlums. If he voted
a,ainst our party, we should accept
that as the most positive evidence
hat he Was an offensive partisan and
should walk him out on the run.
If he felt that way, but dared not
vote, we should hang him up as q
damphool and dedicate him to civil
service reform!
1t is poor dog whose teeth can
not protect its tai when its tail is
being worried by civil service sneaks.
Before election they said they would
die rather than hold office under
Democratic Rule! Yet they hang on
TO their c!erkships.
The gate is wide open.
Fire them through.

DIR. Edward b. fOOte as q repre-
sentative of Eclectic Medicine, as
writer of popular medical literature,
and as physician stands prominent,
and is. perhaps, throughout the
world, better known Ivy his writings
than any other medical writer who
has directed his teachings to the
people rather than the profession.
Born and raised among Connecticut
settlers, on the Western Reserve"
in Ohio, he early began the work of
many self-made men. Starting at
the age of sixteen as printers
devil" in newspaper office, he
worked his way to the editorial
chair, and was severallv connected
with the most prosperous weekly (ot
its time) in Connecticut, and the first
successful morning paper of Brook
lyn, n. V, but his main impulse had
always been toward the study OF
medicine, and to this end business
enterprises were sacrificed until an
apprentio eship with noted botani
cal specialist. and a course of study
finishing with graduation, found him
prepared to follow out the bent of his
life to its completion. He was
among the earliest of those who ad-
vocated the publication of anatomi.
cal. physiological and hygienic books
for the masses, and his success in
writing interesting and popular books
has been conspicuous. HIS first and
best known book. entitled Medical
Common Sense" reached circula-
ton of $50 900 copies. probably be-
cause of it's originality and novelty
iu new field; and his subsequent
writings have been mainly i'll The
same line, &" Science in Story" hav-
ing been written for the purpose of
providing a readable book for chill
dren, and one which should make
plain to their comprehension the
facts which be considered it neces-
sary for them to know concerning
their own bodies.
In speaking of the late Prof. j. S.
Smith, OF Oxford, London, Nature
remarks: 1t has been said that in
scientific thought, the best and most
original ideas have always been con
ceived before the age of thirty"
This is probably true, also, of the
original of this portrait. His most
radical thoughts were published in
his first work, written before he was
twenty-nine years of age, and though
his pen is never long idle, his first
success has not yet been equalled by
subsequent work, though his Plain
Home Talk" revision and enlarge
ment of " Medical Common Sense,
seems likely in time to obtain Cir
culation rivalline that of its prede-
cessor.
In practice DR.. Foote has always
been independent, progressive and
original. always foe of old fosyism
and trade-unionism in medicine !;
once disciple of the old Thomp-
sonian botanical school. as opposed
to mineral and blood-letting process,
and now q staunch supporter Of
Eclecticism in all that tho name i'm
plies. He has been actively engaged
in the practice of his profession for
thirty years, and as the protrait
given herewith is from a recent pho
tograph, hard work appears to agree
with him, and he looks equal to
twenty years more of it.
