A special telegram to the Detroit
Ne,oS, from Indianapolis, says: 1.-THE
democratic politicians of the state are
rallying to the support of Coy and
Bernhamer, the convicted election
eonspirators. and are making an or
ganized effort to secure for them either
a new trial or new sentence. Rooms
have been rented in the leading hotel
of'the city where the convicted men
throughout the day receive calls from
friends, and where consultations are
held in regard to movements in behalf
Of the conspirators.

The presidents message has had one
excellent effect. 1t has brought to an
end all the Mugwump twaddle about
his devotion to Civil Service reform.
1t was dishonest pretence from the
beginning, but the changes were
wrung upon it month after month ms
If it were a real issue. All the non
sense has ceased. The president is
now n tariff reformer. if you please.
The Civil Service farce has played out
and the free-trade afterpiece has been
rung up.-Ne10 YORK. Tribune.

1t is conceded that the Wilkins bill
in congress for the increase of the ma
tional bank circulation commands the
support Of the majority. The minori-
~, consisting mainly of democrats,
conceded it by ''filibustering" against
the bill, instead of accepting the offer
of the majority to give them all the
time they want for debate. Nearly
two months of the session have sped
and scarcely an item of legislation is
achieved; and it is now proposed to
waste days, and even weeks, if need be,
in thwarting the majority by means OF
the rules of the body. And this is the
congress which is Hexpected to adopt
far reaching reforms before presiden-
tial candidates are nominatedl-Det.

Commenting on the proposed con-
solidation % the state land Offices and
their removal to Gayling, the Ian
sing Journal says;
IAN order was made two years ago
for the consolidation OF the land Of
fees in this city. A special agent of
the. land department came into the
state, and after a thorough investiga-
ton sent strong report TO Couinis-
sioner Sparks Ia favor OF establishing
the consolidated Office In Lansing.
There Is no question but thar 1t should
be put here now. Lansing il the most
central and accessible point in Michi-
gan. and as It already has the state
land Office, which frequently demands
the presence here of many people who
likewise have business with the United
States land Office, its claims for the To-
cation of the latter are unsurpassed.
Commissioners Sparks and Secretary
Lamar both conceded that the Office
should be established here, and it was
only owing to the violent opposition of
one or two members of the Michigan
congressional delegation that the pro-
ject failed. II we had secured the con-
solidated office at that time an appro-
priatioD for federal building in Lam
sing would have passed the last con-
gress. Grayling is n small town on the
Central. and settlers in the western
part of the state can only reach 1t by
travelling 200 or 800 miles by rail.
Somebody ought to send Secretary
Villas a map of Michigan, and give
him chance to learn what an awful
mistake he has made by ignoring the
order of his predecessor and locating
the land Office in one of the most out
of-the-way spots In the state"
Secretary Villas had map Of Michi-
gan and it showed that the enterpris.
ing village of Grayling is located in
that part of the state where the great
bulk OF United States land is located
Lansing was once tho center OF these
lands, but the growth of the state has
seen these lands sold until GayIing
occupies the position formerly held
by Lansing. East Saginaw feels bad
~ about the loss of its land Office
while Detroit doesn't say word.
The fight for the reconsideration OF
Michigan land Offices was ended Tues.

The contested election case of Nc
Duffie against Davidson of the Fourth
Alabama district has features of pecu.
liar interest in the face of the claim Of
the democrats that the elections in the
Southern states are fairly conducted
The uncontradictory testimony shows
that Davidson. the democratic candi.
date was counted in by the most un
blushing and systematic frauds. In
one district 200 persons swore they cast
their votes for McDuffie, the returns
credit only "a. In another precinct
364 swear they cast their votes for Me
Duffie, but the democratic board only
return 10. In another 800 votes were
reduced to "a and so on in the case Of

The Sun for 1889,
AND FOR THE DEMOCRACY

THE SUN believes that the campaign Tor the
election of Democratic Congress IN 1890 and a
Democratic President In 1892 should begin on or
about the fourth OF next March. TRE SUN Will
be on hand at the beginning ana until the end Of
the most interesting and important political con-
fct since the war, doing Its honest utmost as
ever, to secure the triumph of the Democratic
party and the permanent supremacy of the prin-
clip es held by Jefferson, jackson ald Tilden.
The great fact OF the year Is the return to absO-
lutte power OF the common enemy of all good
Democrats-the political organization for whose
overthrow THE SUN fought at the front for is
wears, the memorable years of Grant and the
Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and Arthur.
II Is the same old enemy that Democrats now
confront, and he will be iiitrenched in the same
strong position. II has been carried once by
brave and hopeful hghtiug DO you not bel eve
with The Sun that the thing can be done again?
Wait and scel
The hope of the Democracy Is in the loyal pf-
fort OF united press, cherishing no memories
Of past differences in nOn-esSentials ioI getting
every thing but the lessons OF experience, and
that victory Is duty.
Probably you know THE SUN already as n
newspaper which gets all the news and prints II
in incomparably interesting shape; whibh chron-
ces facts as they occur and tells the truth about
men and events with absolute fearlessness max
ing the completest and most entertaining journal
published anywhere on earth; and which sells
its opinions only to Its subscribers and Durchas-

IN A CAREFUL AND NOT UNFRIENDLY
discussion of Henry Georges single tax
idea the New York Times says
Each mans contributions would be closely
apportioned to his ability as an Garner or q
purchaser. In other werds, the tax would
be 'diffused,' as all real estate taxes are,
and the adjustment would be much more
nearly equitable than any artificial device
could make it. Considered simply as a
scheme for raising the needed public
revenue the single tax idea has much to
commend it."

SENATOR EDhUNDs, KNOWN TO THE
reporters gallery as "St. Jerome" from a
strange resemblance his head bears TO
popular likeness of that martyr, is one of
the acknowledged leaders of the republican
organization In the Senate. He is a typical
product OF the Green Mountains. Tall,
angular, and austes, he moves and has his
being apparently without other impulse
than that born of the brain and controlled
BY high sense Of duty. Many fear and
all respect him; not that he ever did aught
70 justify one or the other, but because Of
his appearance and manner. Cold, keen,
and intolerant, he impresses his associates

information, and beaming from consclen.
