SHERMAN or death" is the watch
word in Ohio Republican circles just
now, a correspondent at Columbus, the
Capital, having proclaimed that 1.-The
Republican legislator who sells out this
time Will be hanged" This bloody
threat has its origin in the fear that in
some mysterious way tICo of the three
Republican majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature may be switched Oft the
main Republican track to the Demo
cratic siding, and send some other man
than Sherman to the Senate. There is
not much, if any probability that this
will be done, and SheIman's election,
we think, is assured. The threat, above
quoted, to hang any Republican who
bolts Sherman, had its counterpart IN
this State in 1863 when the Democrats
had majority Of one on joint ballot and
Simon Cameron undertook by his well
known arts 20 defeat Charles r. Bucka.
lew, the Democratic nominee for Sera-
tor, and carry off the prize himself. To
effect this some Democrat had to be
bought and this important matter had
been well attended to, according to the
subsequent report of committee of the
House Of which Cyrus L. Pershing,
who then represented this county, was
chairman. Alderman "Bill" McMul-
len, of Philadelphia, however, appeared
at Harrisburg on the morning of the
day of the election, and with him came
one hundred of his trusted associates,
each carrying on his person a revolver,
pledged by solemn oath to shoot down
any Democrat who deserted Buckalew
for Cameron. The member who had
been bribed didn't want to be shot Just
at that time and voted for BuckaIew,
who was elected by majority of 67 to
&c for Cameron. The only difference
between the two cases is that at Har-
Tisburg the Democratic traitor was to
be shot, while at Columbus the Repub-
lican Judas is to be strung up as high as
Haman.

BOYS AGAIN.

1t is related of the late Judge Back
that, in 1887, just after he was appoint
ed Attorney General of the United
States, he was staying at the Astor
House, in New York. Scores of lead
ing politicians called upon him. One
day small, gray-hsired man arrived at
the hotel, and registered himself as
Judge j. Williams, Iowa. On seeing
the name o. Judge Black on she book
he took card and wrote THE Su-
preme Judge of Iowa presents his com
pliments to the Attorney General of the
United States" He sent this up 10

half sheet Of paper on which he had
written:
'Oh, jerry dear Jerry, I've found you at
last
And memory, burdened with scenes of the
past,

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

In the course CT the debate on the Re-
vision of the Rules, the Hon. Samuel J.
Randall said "Sincs the House has
been under Democratic control there
has not been au acre of land or dollar
of subsidy appropriated. This is true
to the letter and line. When the
Democracy, after years of exclusion
from power, obtained, during the second
Administration OF Gen. Grant, the con-
troll of the House of Representatives.

Route thieves were pillaging the Post

ment The whiskey men were tapping
the Treasury. On every hand were to
be found bribery, fraud and general ras-
cality. The accession Of the Democracy
to the coutrol of the House of Repre-
sentatives brought the long debauch of
corruption to an end.
AS Mr. Randall said, "Not an acre of
land or a dollar of subsidy was appro-
priated.' The Republican party gave
to corporations, like the Pacific railroad
companies, territories almost as large as
some the European States. 1t gave the
same corporations subsidies amount

THE Chicago Tribune has heard the
rumor that Logan intends to oppose the
confirmation of the PRESIDENT appoint
ees in that city, and after stating that it
is doubtless incorrect. opposes against
such action a number of reasons, of
which the following is the most conclu-
sive to the Republican mind: Pre-
venting the confirmation Of Democratic
appoIntees will not put the Republicans
back in the positions they held before
the administration became Democratic.
1t will only result in substitution of
other and perhaps less competent Off
cials from the ranks Of the dominant
party" These lines contain the chief
beauty of the situation. Roar as be
pleases. Logan cannot put the Republi-
cans back in office or keep the Demo-
Gratis out. With the aid of the Repub-
lican Senate he might do something to
make the offices go round among the
Democrats. But that is all.
