From the 81 Louis Globc- DemOcrat
Nr. Mckinley is the Republican leader on
the floor Of the House, and one Of the ablest
and most conspicous members Of his party in
the country. Even his most ardent enemies
freely testify 10 his dignity, courage, and
honesty. Moreover. in the present exigency
he stands as the apostle and chief exponent
OF an economic faith which has held sway
throughout the country without interruption
for nearly third ofs century. Il is true
that q large element Of the party Of which
be is a chiehain reject some OF his teachings
and declare that mpch Of his teachings and
declare that much Of the doctrine which he
inculcates has been Cuigrowu and IS injuri-
Gus under present conditions. To large
extent, however, the party as a whole must
accept The responsibility Of bis leadership,
and stand or fall in the canvass this year
on the creed which he represents. Il is for
these reasons tha; the contes; in the Eigh-
ieenth Ohio District is d;ves,ed Of its purely
local features, and elevated into national
significance While the chances appear, at
this distance from the event, to be against
the distinguished 0hioan' return to Congress
next term, the fears for the result which the
Democrats are beginning 10 display indicate
that the situation, from the Republican
point of view, is not altogether destitute OF
elements Of hopefulness.
From the New York Tribune
Mr.. Breckinridge, of Arkansas no longer
profits by the lottery Of assassination. Jus
tice has been done long after the patience Of
the country las been exhausted. The House
afser a laborious investigation ana debate
protracted BY the lowest arts Of political in
triguerS has declared the seal vacant by
party vote Of los to c. not one Democrat
being found to condemn the Arkansas elec-
ton outrages beginning with robbery ofba.-
loi-boxes aud ending with foul and strocioas
murder. So indecent and dishonorable has
been Mr.. Breckinride's conduct from the day
Of Colonel Clayton's death that il hardly
seemed possible that he could abash the
House with his efTroniery in the closing
debate. This be succeeded in doing when
he declared in the course of speech reekine
with the dregs Of bitterness that the murder
ed man was his bosom friend, and that
the PlummeSyille baIlot-box was stolen by
Republicans This amazing display Of
sudacity was justly described by Mr. Dalzeil
as the sublimity Of impudence. Mr.. Gar
land showed the lengths to which indecency
can be carried by az Arkansas statesman
when he fastened himself tenaciousiy upon
the Department ofJastice afler his telephone
stock -jobbing was laid hare. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge has even surpassed Mr.. Garland in
shamelessness throughout this wretched
business.
