Hendricks. ..let the light of Heaven into
those vaults" there would be horrible things
disclosed. Three times elaborate and costly
investigations have been undertaken, some
democratic senator having asserted that ne
had found traces of fraud, and believed that
millions had been stolen. Not trace OF
wrong was discovered, but still the falsenood
was persistently repeated; and IT was SAID
that the officials in charge "cnnningly con-
cealed" the vast deficiency. At last, Messrs.
democrats. YOU have 1.-THE light OF Heaven,
and an overhauling of the books and count

And it proves that your leaders have been
persistently lying, year after year.
It Is greatly to the credit Of the republican
party that. after all the changes and excite.
ment, the corruption and the temptation, OF
twenty-four years Of unrestrained power,
after the tremendous financial struggles OF
the civil war, and the issue Of new kinds OF
currency in vast amounts, the result proves
that the accounts have been absolutely cor
rect; and the guardianship of the public
money absolutely faithful. In party point
of view, it was well worth the temporary loss
of power consequent upon defeat last fall, to
secure this demonstration of the honesty and
fidelity of republican officials. When re-
publicans came in, it may be remembered,
they found that the Treasury had been
robbed by jacob Thompson-whom this ad
ministration takes pains to honor. The
country will not fail to note the contrast.

The York Evening Post in recent arti-
ticle paid its respects to Mr.. Pat Collins
and the appointment of Pillsbury in a
very savage manner. In the course OF
its citoriai the Post says:
The democratic party In Massachusetts,
apart from the help of the independents. is
~ near to the flag end of nothing ne is posi-
BILE for political organization to reach, and
1t is quite certain that this help will not be
extended to party which puts Pillsbury and
his kind into places of responsibility and

The election of republican Senator in

created by the death of democrat was a
credtabe piece of work for the republi.
cans and will doubtless be the means of
returning Logan to the United States Sem
ate. The district has a democratic major
ity of about 1000. and with this majority
the democrats were perfectly confident OF
carrying the election. BY the careless.
ness and inactivity of the democrats the
republicans made strong rally in the af.

majority. Morrison was in Washington

Doubtless he is right about it. Were our

wagon and turned the horses and wagon
over nearly killing the horses He
then attacked Casper with his
cleaning knife inflcting wounds upon
him, but not seriously iniuring him. For
three hours he held scores of people in
the narrow lane and in a most vicious
manner gutted and attacked any one near
him. He is a powerfully built man and
no one felt brave enough to attack him
Finally Lon King, Andy Musser and Tom
McAdams closed in on him and desper>

by a powerful blow by Andy Musser.
They tied him with a rope and carried

hundred people witnessed the exciting
