Gentlemen who never find time
to speak respectfully of those
who differ with them on any
public question will likely keep
still tongues when they visit the
&" White House, inssmuch as the
sisters Of the president who pre-.
side over that establishment are
republicans. They may also learn
how sensible people even of the
same household may exercise their
respective judgments TO the point
of difference in politics without
quarrelliDg and strife.

In speaking of Bob IngerSoll, the
champion of inidelity, the Destroit
Free Press, puts 1t this way: after
all, Robert, you are talking to a
business people who do not take
risks-especially fire risks. If you
are right you won't have a cents
worth of advantage over the Chris
tan put If you are wrong all
Robert, how you will get left, and
it won't be a cold day, either. That
yOu may say, is a cowardly view of
it. A merchant, as the phrase
goes, doesn't know that his store
will burn down, but he doesn't take
any risk in the matter. He takes
out an insurance policy. That is
not cowardly. 1t is mere business
foresight. Now, that is why a man
would be foolish to take your way.
The Christian merely takes out
next world fire insurance policy. If
there is no fire, why he has had his
protection if there is a cOn6agra-
ton, he realizes on his policy (;
while on yours, Robert, we would
write total loss and no insurance.

Discussing the doings of the Vir-
ginia spoils ring at Washington,
the Petersburg Index.Appeal(Bou
bOn) says:
TO select, unlimited, men who
shall be urged upon the appointing
power for all the principal places
in State, is an impertinence to
that power, and, still worse, an in
suit to the people themselves. by
reason of his large acquaintance
with the people of his district, a
Congressman, whether Of the party
of the Administration or not, may
be supposed to know something Of
the personal fitness of men who
are thought of by the President or
others in connection with the APP
pointments in that district. But
an assemblage Of Congressman
which allots this local office to this
man and that to the other, or that
agrees in advance to use its in
tluence for Jackson for a place at
large as against the rights, priv
leges, claims, or ambition of John
son or other fit citizens, is 'ma-
chine and nothing else.

and showed gains nearly every

with its 1000 Resublican majority,
isespccially pleasing to Republicans
here. The difficulties the Repub-
licans had to contend with there
were not fully appreciated, but
they Overcame them all and
vanquished the Democratic repea-
ters at the same time. After such
a noticeable evidence of their
strength, there will be little doubt
of the ability of the Republicans to

Il is known that several of the delega-
ton, before assembling, expressed mis-
giyngs about the RESULT but the delega-
ton was here and the office-seekers on
hand, and something had to be done.
Wise demanded the Collectorship for
Childrey, and threatened, it is said, to re-
tire from the meeting if another should be
recommended. Barbour appears to have
reinforced Wise, aud in 80 doing defeated
Scott, the Daniel man, for that office.
Then Barbour appears TO have adopted
Scott as his candidate for the Marshalship.
At this point Daniel was found committed
to lIudgins, and could not help his consti-
tuent, Scott, any further Thus Scott was
defeated for an Office that Daniel wanted
him to have, aud selected for one that
Daniel could not support him for and
which Scott had no idea Of WHOM he
came.

Daniel and Barbour.
TROUBLE IN THEIR MINDS

Log-rolling began as soon as the plan
was agreed on. Members became suspi-
cous of esch other. Especially did trou-
bic soon come to the minds of at least two
of the leading conspiratOrs. The cam
paign boss and the oratorical boss grew
very suspicious, and each looked on the
other with watchful eye.
Daniel and his friends had hoped to see
Barbour in the Cabinet. Disappointed ia
that they saw an eminent fitness of things
in his becoming candidate for Governor,
Barbour's friends had declared that as
Daniel was now the great Columbian ora
tor of the universe, whose name had be-
come impershably linked with that of
George Washington, that he should re-
main Mt least two terms in the House of
Representatives, where his oratOry could
roll and be heard by the nations of the
earth. If he would let Barbour alone in
the fight for Mahone's place they would
give him mortgage on Riddleberger's
shoes and a guarantee of that gentleman's
place.
But Daniel was not TO be caiOled into
any such arrangement, and each prepared
to combat the others plans. Daniel want
ed a friend of his named DeTr, State
Printer at Richmond, TO be Public Printer
at Washington. The patronage of this
Office is large, and Barbour couldn't see
it.
Daniel was anxious to make Jack Hud-
gins, of Caroline, United States Marshal (;
Scott, Of Charlotte, Collector Of Internal
Revenue at Petersburg; Figgatt, Of Bote-
tourt, District-Attorney at Harrisonburg
and Hill, Of Albemarle, Marshal of the
Western district. Scott is constituent
of Daniel, and the other three his close
friends. These are a few of the things
which Daniel desired.
Barbour was anxious for Shepherd, his
secretary to take Craig's place Of Collec-
tor at Stanton, and especially to confuse
and confOund the wishes of his rival.
Tucker was in Lynchburg with Daniel,
but with all their skillful playing, re-
Communications were slow to come at their
bidding So it has turned out that in
" sinking empty buckets into empty wells
and drawing nothing up, Barbour IS.
Daniel remains the boss"

One Of the official families Of the
Arthur administration sported a
crest-which was not Il sensible
thing to do. Such nonsense as a
coat Of arms is simplynot to say ex.
asperatingIy, ridiculous in this re-
public. But the Cleveland admin
lstration, it is stated IS afflicted in
the same way. Oae Of the new
cabinet families displays its coat
Of.arms. SO much for Democratic
simplicity'-or, perhaps, simple
mindedness would be a more fitting
word.

THE MARsHALsH1P OF THE WESTERN
DISTRICT.

Hill, of Albemarle, had, or believed he
had, five Of the delegation pledged TO his
support. It was a sure thing, no thought.
His friends say he was Daniel man, and
charge his defeat to the management of
Barbour. Hill, who is incensed at his
treatment, is in reality lucky man, as he
will now ask for something In sight, and
cease to imagine the vain thing of turn
ing out Watts. Ex-senator Withers was
promptly on hand and very much desired
to have this position. He, of course, did
not desire to engage in a scramble, but
was uilling, provided the delegation was.

In the contention which arose between
the friends of Holmes Boyd, Dan. Trigg,
Figgatt Graham, and others, O'Ferrall

votes were counted. Most Of the defeated
are now laughing at the prospect of

The national Democratic organ

The national Democratic organ
accounts for the Republican vic
tory in Cincinnati by mildly re-
marking that "the Democratic
ring, after succeeding by bribery
and fraud in defeating the present
Democratic mayor tor renomina-
zion, undertook by the same means
to foist upon the people a dummy
MAYOR who could be relied upon to
represent no constituency save the
unerupulous politicians now alike
responsible for his candidacy and
his defeat" All this is true, and
it is equally true that the Demo
cracy of Cincinnati are fairly
representative of their party in
noarly all other cities, both in
character and methods.

The Virginia democratic Con
gressmen are said to have con-
ierred recently upon the appoint
ment of U. $. marshals in that
state. A prominent democrat of
that state, and an old friend OF the
Lee family, said to Star reporter:
'The talk about Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
being made marshal of the District
of Columbia, feel sure, is without
his assent. He would not accept
the position. Fitz Lee wants to be

get it, too. He naturally desires

ment as no previous incumbent of

keen appreciation of the humorous,
and is ready to contribute his full

in any quarter since the inaugural

There are no greater differences
Of opinion Letween Republicans
and conservative Democrats than
between the various factions OF the
Democratic porty. On the tariff,
on the silver question, on every
phase Of national finance, on every
question Of public policy, domestic
or foreign, there is irrecOncilable
hostility between the Democratic
factions. On one subject only is
there harmony-all are agreed that
they must have 'the spoils' Of their
presidential victory.
