GOOD AND BAD INFLUENCES IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The Intelligencer does not believe III
infallibility, either in itself or
in its contemporaries. Errors
are common to humanity. 1t
may be that in asserting that all the
dynamite influences in New York were
arrayed against Mr.. Cleveland we
were mistaken. The allegation, how
ever, was a natural one to make, be-
cause at the time the reports of meet
ings of that faction we're commonly
filed with cheers and resolutions for
Mr.. Blaine, and the Jingo policy OF his
canvass was evidently intended to
catch that vote.
We are not so blindly partisan as to
believe that all the good men vote the
democratic ticket, and all the bad ones
the republican. As a rule the evil ele-
ments are found in all parties; but we
believe that it is true, that a major por-
ton OF the bad elements in New York
city were opposed to Mr.. Cleveland.
It will be remembered that in the con-
vention at Chicago threats were made
that Mr.. Cleveland could not carry
certain influences in the democratic
party, which drew from Gen. Bragg,
of Wisconsin, his celebrated remark
that, "We love him for the enemies he
has made"
In the election Mr.. Cleveland lost
several thousand democratic votes in
New York City. 1t has never beer
claimed by anyone that we know OF
that these votes were not from the
lowest stratum of the party. The best
element among democrats was strongly
tor MIR. Cleveland, as q reformer as
mayor, as a reformer as governor, and
with the hope, which is being fully
realized, that he would be a reformer
as president. In this belief they were
sustained by some of the best republic
cans Of New York, among them Car
Schurz and George William Curtis,
with the Times, the Evening Post
Harper's Weekly and other republican
newspapers, and the Herald, an indie
pendent newspaper with a republican
editor.
These things being true, and VIZ
think they are unquestionably 80, We
cannot very we'll help thinking the at
tempt to prove that the election of 6
democratic president is dependent
upon a corrupt ring in New York City,
an impudent one, based upon false as
sumptions. Mr.. Cleveland was nomi-
mated from the top of his party, no
from the bottom.

Our contemporary, the Post, lauds

Our contemporary, the Post, lauds
Mr.. Randall as an able and consistent
Jeffersonian Democrat. Very good;
very good; let US see what he thinks
upon certain points. At the Tammany
Hall Fourth of July celebration, last
Monday, among other things he said Of
the present democratic administration:
-"Without any change in legislation
the revenues of the government have
been increased $50, 900 900 by economi-
cal management; $4,000 900 have been
cut off from expenditures, and the
government is now 1928 ,OOO, 900 better
off for democratic administration. II
assert that tie administration OF the
treasury department by Daniel Man
ming will compare fayorably with that
OF Hamilton or Gallatin." The logi-
cal conclusion from the Posts estimate
of Mr.. Randall as a statesman is, that
he knows of what he speaks, and that
he is too honest to misrepresent. hence
that what he says is true; SO, after all,
we have the Post indorsing q demo-
cratic administration with most sur
prising emphasis.
"The Intelligencer makes q sorry ef-
fort to apologize for the reckless man.
ner in which Cleveland vetoes pension
bills; unmindful Of the fact that many
Of these vetoes are little better than
posit;ye assertions of both incompe-
tency and dishonesty on the part of con-
gress in the passage Of the bllls."
Apologizel Nonsense. The president
needs no apologist. AS tor congress,
when it does right we are always will
ling to defend it, but in this private
pension business it has been careless
and remiss. 1t is no use to kick against
this pricks, the people are with Mr..
Cleveland in this matter, and all the
manifestoes of senate committees and
republican newspapers will not aitsrp
the fact.
Gen. Grant signed the first court
martial finding agaiIat Fitz John Por-
ter, and yet upon fuller examinstien he
SAID that great injustice had been done,
and that Fortef was entitled to rein
state ment in the array and a complete
y%indication That yindication has finally
come, SIS fully and as unanimously as
he could have expected, and h%onorably
enough to fill with joy the hitherto BIT
ter cup of a much wropged man, WHOSE
persecution by the republican party,
because be was 8 democrat, equals ip
~atrocity, the times being taken into
consideration, that which followe4
Latimer and GEsRmer to the stake.

Our republican cousins, seventeenth

estimating the grunts of disappointed

They see at the helm of state one of the
greatest presidents we have ever had,
struggling against adverse influences to
give TO the country a clean, pure,
economical administration; and it Is
above all things their purpose to stand
by him; to hold up his hands. To do
this they fully appreciate the value of
solid local organization, and they are

and ignore the work already done in
Lafayette. Johnson and Jackson coun-
ties in preparation tor the congressional
convention. or (2) to adopt the meas
ures of the county committees and
make the congressional convention out
of delegates to be selected by the coun-
ty conventions" Now, there has been
no action of any sort regarding the
nomination of a candidate for congress
in Lafayette county, nor will there
be excepting by and in accordance
with the directions of the congressional
committee. II is the idea here that the
congressional committee is primarily
charged with the matter, and that it
should direct uniform action in all of
the counties. The less mixing up OF
things there is the better. We all want
to be able to pull together this time.
