The National Republican.

1t is an able and brave paper. We have
been reading 1t for many years and have
found 1t worthy OF all aGceptation. Every
Republican IN America should take It and
ponder it.
This is the year that is to yield grand re-
suits to the Republican party. This is the
year for new President.
The Item studies the REPUBLICAN as a
means to enable 1t to see aud work to the
best end. 1t pondcrs the editorials Of tae
paper as the expressions Of the progressive
ana the patriot
The REPUBLIcAS is for equal and exact
justice to all men. II is for u fun vote and
q fair count. 1t is for the payment of the
debt. 1t is for the doctiioe OF protection
to American industry. 1t is for presi-
Dental nominee who can be elected. II Is
for the free coinage of silver. bis tor the
repeal Of the tobacco tax. 1t Is for liberal
improvements for iivers and harbors, i'm
proved coast dcfenses, new navy, every
effort 10 increase onr merchant marine,
lie9fal national aid to public schools, and
all things that would benefit the people.
The REPUBLICAN is heartily and en-
Enthusiastically for the lovely city of Wash
dences for senators. obe erected by the
different states, -isr more schools and more
bridges, far BETTER roads, for the most
gracious and never.ending hospitality, and
for everything that can add TO the gran
deur Of the handsomest city In the world
The REPUBLICAN is so interesting, so
suggestive, SO strong, so admirable 10 its
loyalty to truth and justice, that 1t ought
to have, like the Item, million OF readers
dolly. To that end let every good Repub
lican subscribe for It at once.
The REPUBLICAN agrees with the Item
that II there had been fair count noue of
the Democrats who are now running the
government, from the President down,
would be in Washington. These geDtle.
men are there by fraud, and well they know
1t. But the farce Is almost over.

1t Wa. Not ChIynIrv

One Of the scribes Of the NATIONAL Re-
PUBLICAN yesterday met a prominent aud
active Republican who took out clipping
from the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN OF Dec.
23, which he read to the scribe, as follows:
Chivalry, proper sense of propriety loyalty
10 party, an unseltsh friendship for the Presi.
dent, all suggest that Mr.. Lamar should tender
MS resignation as Secretary of the Interior mud
submit his future fortunes to the action of the
Senate.
Our Republican friend then said "May
be you think Mr.. Lamar has followed your
advice, and in chivalrous manner resigned
to relieve the strained situation ?'
that way"
"You were never more mistaken In your
life" was the answer. "You remember
there was q conference at the Wormley
House. Well, there was another con
ference at another popular hotel which
lasted well into the morning, and when It
closed Mr.. Lamar was assured that certain
Republican senators would vote for htm
and he at once rendered his resignation.
"You mean TO say, them" taid the scribe,
THAT Mr.. Lamar did not resign until he
had positive assurances of votes enough to
confirm him?n
THAT'S just It," was the answer; "Lamar
knows all the Democrats will vote for him
any way, and being assured OF them and
of two Republican votes, he resigned, but
he did not let 60 Of his Office until he
thought there was n certainty OF getting a
better one. The chivalry dodge didn't 20
with him.
But suppose that Republican caucus
speaks against MIR. Lamar's confirmation,
the results of the conference you speak OF
will be knocked out. All Republican sena-
tors will abide the decision OF the party.n
"That is not SO certain,n said our friend;
"there may be obligations entered into at O
conference more binding than o caucus"
And the gentleman walked Off whistling.

Trying to Dodge "A Veto.

The New York Sun represents the admin
is,ration when it says of the Blair education
bill:

it did, It would doubtless be met by a veto.
This lie OF a piece with the whole Demo.

frighten it out Of the Senate. Failing iu
that the organs cry In chorus FORTS suiroca-
tion In the House. II 1t can be held la

terrors Of veto will not rise up to curse
The stricken Democracy during an import
ant campaign. SO they ilatter themselves.
But the handwriting is on the wall, and
II is that of Mr.. Cleveland. He 1t is who

himself by having the House shoulder the

hot Shot at Harmony.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN rises to re-
mark, IN the Interest OF Democratic har-
mouy, that Senator Brown, OF Georgia, was
out Of order In his speech yesterday. II
WAS lad enough for him to offer his resolu-
tion urging the repeal Of the internal reve.
huc syItem right In the face OF the Presl-
DENTS ctmmsnd that nothing but the tariff
should be clipped this year. But what can
lie sGid for the harmonious latent OF q DEM
ocratic senator who rlilcules his party
chiefs because he differs with them on the
revenue question. What, indeed, when
that IiGlcule Is fired red hot iIom the very
fount Of the gall Of bitterness
'SomG eminent revenue fef0rmers," says
Senator Brown, slyly, some persons who
think they know all about the tariff and
internal taxation, "assert that the entire
amount Of the duty is added to tho profit
Of the manufacturer Tho falacy OF
this theory he proceeds to prove by practl-
cal Illustration. The senator actually CO.

rugged facts which he insinuates they
know nothing about.
Now, the average journalist may not

lefthanded respects to the eminent Golden
Club OF England, but there is suspicion
abroad that bis mark was nearer home. II

The Affidavit of Mr, Thobe

Below we print the affidavit OF Mr.. Geo.
II. Tbobe, filed with the committee OF elec.
lions Of the House Of Representatives on
which is based the application OF Mr.. Thobe
for the reopening Of the contest hc Is maxi
Ing for the seat In Congress from the sixth
congressional district of Kentucky, now
fraudulently occupied by John G. Carlisle.
This affidavit is supported by number of
others and by strong collateral testimony.
Every member Of Congress should read
the affidavit Of Mr.. Thobe. 1t is a plain
straightforward statement, made by plain
straightforward man, and carries on It's face
the evidence of its truthfulness.
Mr.. Thobe simply asks that he be al
lowed to prove that he was elected to Con-
gress and fraudulently counted out, and
shows that he was depied this privilege by
the treachery or inelIlciency of his counsel.
II Mr.. Carlisle Is the honest man he claims
to be, and believes that no was fairly
elected, he will not only not oppose the mo.
tion to reopen the case and let the facts be es.
tablished, but he will appear before the
elections committee In person or By attorney
and urge upon 1t and the House the pro-
priety OF granting the motion to take the
testimony and establish. the facts in the
case. In no other way can Mr.. Carlisle be
vindicated from the charge OF knowingly
occupying seat In Congress TO which
another man was elected.
So far as the committee AMI the House
are concerned, 1t caunOt be possible, even
shorld Me- Carlisle object, that SO plain
aud simple an act OF justice will be ~.
!ufcd. No congressman can AFFORD b let
ihs impression go to the country that the
great Office uf Speaker Of the House Is heid
hy man whose seat IN Congress was %
talptd 10y fraud.
Nor can any congressman, Republican Or
Democratic, afford TO have IL said that a l..
toiIng man-elected by the votes .: .Sopr.
ing men as their distinctly. e.udiiate-gts
denied the privilege or establishing the fact
that lie was elected.
Mr.. Carlisle has lime and again announced
IN the press that he would not hold the seat
IN Congress through any technical defe.t H.
Mr., Tlobe's contest. The time has come
to test the truth OF these declarations.
Mr.. Carlisle refused o agree with the at
tornty OF Mr. Thobe to waive the rule aud
reopen the contest, but now Mr.. Tnobe
CONES into court aud swears that his fail
ure to secure evidence was because Of the
neglect, If not the betrayal, Of his lntereste
by his attorney.
Should Mr.. Carlisle now attempt to op-
pose the reopening of the case 1t Will be IN
open acknowledgment, not only that he
doubts his right to his seat, but that tho
charges OF corruption and fraud are true.
The affidavit Is as follows;
George II. Thobe says that no Is citizen AM
qualified ClectoT of the state of Kentucky, ra,
siding al the city of COyngton, in Kent n

Only the powerful tone. the beautiful sing
