Elections in the West.

Local elections in the Western
States held early IN the week, were
uniformly favorable to the Repub.
cans, save in Michigan where a
well.contrived fusion betGe the
Administration and the Greenback
ers caused a Republican defeat. In
Ohio the Republicans won decisive
victories in all the large towns,
notably in Cincinnati and Cleve.
land, these two cities giving respec-
lively 1000 majority and 5000 ma
jOrity for the Republican municipal
candidates.
Ia Chicago Carter Harrison is
run literally to the throat latch, in
a total vote of SO, 600, securing only
a beggarly majority of 300 votes.
So maniiestly the result of fraud
and violence was even this barren
success, that Harrison's election
will be contested by a committee of
citizens organized without regard to
party, and there is good prospect
that the candidate of the thugs,
gamblers, bunko.men and thieves
of Chicago will not be permitted to
longer disgrace that city by his in.
decent rule. Several Of the Re-
publican candidates for important
offices were elected in
Chicago.

The Tariff as an Issue.

It's nothing but a fear to meet
this issue that has ever kept the
Democratic party at a disadvan-
tage, or ever will so keep it in a
contest which directly involves tho
question. 1t needs to be forced
upon ourselves if We haven't the
pluck to force it upon the enemy.

What kind of tariff do you

want in the adjustment of customs
dues ? The President, in his inau-
gural address, plainly states that
he favors "a tariff for revenue. ad-

A month of Cleveland is about

a local application, we may say that
month of Cleveland promises, if
persistent hope shall be maintained
that Cleveland can afford tOindulge
the kind of Democracy that has
reigned supreme in the councils of

AS TO VIRGINIA.

At the very outset, or III racing
phrase "frOm post to finish," the
new administration will have to
deal with the interesting problem
of politics in Virginia. Other adj
ministrations have. had to wreStle
with Virginia, and her strength in
national politics has always con-
sisted in her adhesion to her own
traditions and to her own cOntem-
poraneous purposes and to her de-
clared faith.
Upon the debt question, so far as
open declarations go, there IS no
quarrel among her people. They
are united upon the settlement
that gave more than equitable
treatment to bond.hOlders and
brokers, and gave scant justice to
the people. ADemOcratic conven-
ton, assembled at Lynchburg in
July 1888, substantially endorsed
all that the Readjusters had done.
Yet all the Democratic newspapers
in the country had denounced Re
adjustment. How can the Cleve-
land administration endorse the
Democratic leaders of Virginia
who have urged and begged the
Democratic party so.called, of Vir-
ginia, into acquiesence with all that
the Realjusters advocated ? ALI =!
gentlemen, the old Arab prOverb
that courses like chickens always
come home to roOst," now returns
to plague YOU. You detained your
state when your political opponents
controlled it, though you thought
you were OBTAINING those opponents
merely, and that the world, that
outside world" for which you
had, or affected to have, 80 much
respect, would understand your
little game. But the "outsidC
world" takes you at your word
and says that when you denounced
REIMBURSEMENT you were dishonest
inasmuch as you now endorse and
applaud it. Hence your poor stand
ing now with the Cleveland ad
ministration and the likelihood o
many less Offices than you expected
to secure under the Reform AID

MURDER WILL OUT.

Those who have been unable to
guess at the reasons for bourbon.
funder contests in the courts to
upset the readjustment bill can get
some helpful information from the
following:
Especial Correspondence of the Alexandria
Gazette.)
WASHINGTON, ID c., April .,
1S85.-A great deal Of interest
continues to be expressed concern.
ing the probable decision of the
United States Supreme Court in
the Virginia coupon cases recent
ly argued before that court. The
majority opinion is that the de.
cisiOn will be i'll favor of the State {;
but should it be in favor of the
bondhOlders, it is understood they
will propose compromise on the
plan of funding the consOls and
McCullOch debts at 3 and 4, and
the overdue coupons at = per cent.
They calculate that the interest on
the whole debt at such rates will
amount to $500, 600, which, together
with the cost OF the schools and
the necessary expenses OF the State
Government, deducted from 81
500, 900, the revenue of the State
would leave surplus of S30O,00O.
Hugh McCulloch enlarged and
improved The old scheme in a
new form. Virginia fixed her priR-
cipal debt. There Is the starting
point. That principal is two.thirds
of the debt Of the Old state. This
nelo proposition is the oil one over
again. But Nirginian will never
agree to pay Sl3,O0O,OOO, of princi.
pal debt and the interest on it.
McCullOch, the public thief, is not
likely to get into our larder again.
Not even the best people " can
introduce him or his methods here.
The figures of the dispatch
quoted lie Just as the figures Of the
McCulloch bill preamble. We
shall treat these hereafter

al organ of the Bourbon State Chair
man, says:
The nomination of General 10.
seph Il. Johnston for Railroad Com
missioner doesn't seem to be at all
satisfactory to most of the Virgin
ians here. 1t is understood that it
was made through the Mclean
influence Of Ohio, and the Joe
Brown and other anti JEFF Davis
influence in the Southern States.
They also say that the General is
entirely untitled for the position,
but that were it otherwise, he is too
old to Gil it, being now seventy
eight f; that he has never done his
party any service in the past and
is incapable Of doing it any in the
future, and that though he is cred
tied to Virginia he has not lived in
the State for eight years, and his
appointment will necessarily pre-.
vent more deserving and useful
Democrats, who do live in Virginia
from obtaining places under the
Government. The ex-COnfederdtes
oppose him because he, without the
slightest warrant, accused Mr.
Jefferson Davis OF an improper
management of the remains of the
Confederate Treasury, and say he
has made botch of everything he
ever took hold of, and that when
at the head of the Southern Ex-
press Company he ignored the APP
plications for employment in that
service made by his old soldiers.
1t was hoped that General Fitz Lee
would have been offered the place,
as he is competent, efficient, aud
had done his party good service.
