COMMENT AND OPINION.

KNowING, a. Republicans do, the danger Of

The New York Times, in an apologize
defense of Mr.. Cleveland's administration,
says: His appointments have been much
more satisfactory than anyone could have
looked for, considering the material he had to
choose FROM" This recognizes one Of ''ths
peculiarly difficult and embarrassing circum-
stances under which he came into power, y
referred to in the platform of the Indiana
Democracy. 1t also recalls the universal
eulogy pronounced by the State press on tie
Democratic ticket as ''the best the conven-
ton could have done with the materials be-
fore it." Perhaps if the Democratic party
were composed of better materials it would be
o better party.

The Sentinel defends Senator Voorhees, by
abusing Senator Ingalls,. As that was the
only line Of defense open, it was that or moth
ing; but 50 it was with Voorhees, himself. The
Sentinel makes the same mistake the Senator
did. Both would better have kept silent.
Because Senator Ingalls, revived some un-
pleasant facts Of history and read from some
disagreeable records of twenty-five years ago.

Senator Eustus, of Louisiana, replying to
Senator Ingalls, concerning the election in
that State said, II would inform the Senator
from Kansas that the mode and manner in
which that election has been conducted, be-
ing State election is mono of his business
whatsoever" This was frank. 1t is the
message of the Southern Democracy to the
Republican party and to all who insist on
business"
When attention is called to the fact that the
constitutional amendments are virtually
nulliied and the laws to enforce them openly
sdefied representatives of the Solid South say
ut is none of your business"
When Northern papers publish facts and
figures to prove that such thing as fair
election and honest count is unknown in
several Southern States they are met with the
retort, 'It is none OF your business"
When patriotic statesmen deplore the over
throw of republican form of government in
these States and point out the dangers in
volved to all classes by the practical disfran-
chisement of one they are told '1t is none of
your business"
When Northern voters protest against the
injustice of counting the negroes in fixing the
basis of representation and yet not allowing
them to vote, giving the whites increased
representation as reward for robbing the
blacks of suffrage, they are bluntly informed
at is mono of your business"
When Indiana Republicans denounce the
iniquity of system that makes the vote of
one Democrat in Georgia count as much in
congressional representation as the votes of
six Republicans in Indiana the representatives
of unanimous Southern constituencies reply
at is none of your business"
When the United States census reports are
quoted to show that the colored population of
Louisiana largely exceeds the white and that
the Democracy can only carry the State by
fraud and intimidation, those who make the
argument are fatty told cit is none of your
business"
And so on to the end of the chapter. When
ever the villainous methods of the Southern
Democracy are attacked and their menacing
attitude towards the peace of the country are
exposed, we are informed it is none of our
business. We believe the time will come
when the friends of liberty and law will
make it their business and will reform it alto
gether.

Sheriff Wilson of Buffalo county, Neb,,
was in town yesterday, the guest of Sheriff
Sharpless. Mr.. Wilson is very favorably
impressed with Cheyenne, thinks the
people lords, and fails to note the differ
ence between the topography and soil of
this section of Wyoming and the agricul-
tural region from which he halls. The
gentleman says that the grangers are
pushing westward rapidly and will soon
reach the environs of the Magic City.
Apropos the Converse county election,
Mr.. Wilson tells of a county seat struggle
at his home. Kearney is now the seat Of
government, succeeding Gibbon. Just
how the transfer was made is a mystery.
K%earney people awoke one morning to
learn that they resided in the county seat.
The enraged Glbbonites to this day de-
clare that the offices we're bodily stolen
from their midst after nightfall. All
know that the contest was not decided at
