MoRRILroE, Ark, Oct. 9.-An attempt
was made 20 assassinate ex-Congressman
c. r. Breckenridge, the Democratic nomi-
nee for congress ia the Second district,
while he was speaking at Centre Ridge on
Monday night. When about half through
with his speech the speaker and his
auditors were startled by the report Of q
gun at a short distance from the church
where the meeting was held. Some min
utes later the explosion Of a percussion
cap startled all those who were ht the
window before which Mr.. Breckenridge
stood.
Mr. Breckenridge resumed and finished
his speech, however He saw through the
window the head of the party who at
tempted to shoot him, but be could not
identity him. 1t is said by many people
here that the bastard deed was inspired bg
very threatening speech made at a Re
publican district convention by Powell
Clayton to the effect that Breckenridge
should never receive the Endorsement OF
his district II 1t was ia his power to pre-
vent it, and that he would willingly lay
down his life to do so

I Much that was ~disgraceful chung to
the administration of Grant, Hayes
and Garfield, but we know of nothing
quite SO bad IN the history of our Ma
tional Government as the protection
affordedto Foater dudley, ofIndiana,
by a sordid President and an Attor-
ney General without a conscience.
The fraud by which Rutherford B.
Hayes. was placed in the White
House O o wrought its own punish
ment, and the unfortunate beneficiary
of it goes through life with the brand
of Cain upon him 10 the betrayer of
his country.
But bad as Hayes was, and scathing
as is the contempt with which he is
regarded, it Gems to us Benjamin
Harrison is earning for himself a still
deeper condemnation. That his cleo
ton is due to fraud just as much
as Hayes was, nc reasonable man
can doubt, and the class of fraud was
Of a lower and more debasing kind
than that of 1876. The crime Of 1876
had a certain boldness and dash
about 1t which distinguished it from
tile infany of 1883 in about the same
way that buccanneering or high
way robbery are distinguished from
sneak thieying or pocket picking. The
Republicans in 1876 stole electoral
votes through a great political CON
spiracy. in which it is possible many
of the participants were honest though
misguided, and SO saved their self
respect
In 1883 two States were bought with
brides. The proceeding Was deliber-
ate, cold, calculating. Every con
cerned, from Benjamin Harrison
down, knew what was being
done, and surrendered his con
science and his self respect
for the sake OF the temporary advan-
tage. The proceeding debased every
one who had to do with it, and low
