business was chiefly IN groceries and, for
about three months, in coal. Six per cent

still remained tour hundred dollars which
has been distributed to the customers OF

New Orleans Picayune.
Twenty-Five years are not so many in the
history of a.people. Perhaps the Republican
party was not so bad as Democrats would like
to make it appear. Asfor progress toward cor
ruption the Democratic party has not been
slow. We have already an Attorney general
with 81 500, 900 of gift telephone stock in his
pocket; Democrat has been discovered by
Democrats selling Offices at Washington; a
Democrat has bought his way into the United
States Senate, according to the general belief
and declaration Of another prominent Demo
crat; Democratic postal clerk has been dis
covered rifing the mails in Texas, and another
has been caught at it in Indianapolis; con-
fessed briber and convicted liar has been COM
missioned to the railway postal service from
this city; Democrat stole the ballot boxes at
Chicago for the purpose Of sending Demo
crat to the United States Senate in de-
fiance of the expressed will of the majority; a
Democrat smashed ballot box in Indianapolis
in defiance Of the order of court, and the
court (Democratic) made no attempt to vindi-
cate its honor; Democrats at Cincinnati broke
open the ballot-boxes and changed the totals
so as to make it appear that the Democratic
candidates had been elected; a Democratic
Supreme Court Endorsed the outrage, and
ordered certificates of election issued to Dem
ocrats by reason of this fraud, and the same
was done at Columbus by Democrats, the
fraud in both instances being SO glaring that
they were instantaneously recognizable, though
this did not prevent Democrats attempting to
profit by them. These are few evidences Of
the corruption practiced in the first ten months
Of Democratic rule. The belief is that it
won't take long to beat the infamous record
made by the party before the war.
