Tor a recount, all of which makes it plain that
1t was the intention of the republicans from the
start to steal at least one congressman from the
democrats of New York City. The same policy
has been pursued in the South where every
State is given smaller population than it
should have, in order to keep down its Congress
sional representation and its representation in
the electoral college. The republicans are
playing bold game. but they may carry it too
far. The facts will be fully exposed by the
democrats when the apportionment bill comes
up in Congress this winter.
The patronage OF the Internal Revenue bureau
is being used in unscrupulous manner to de-
feat the election of the democratic Congression-
al nominees in West Virginia. Representative
Wilson. who has rapidly come to the front on
the democratic side Of the House by his pluck
and ability, passed through Washington this
week lie said: "The Internal Revenue gang
are hot after me, and the struggle as result is
close in my district. Men are drawing salaries
from the government whose sole duties are to
work against me. l have the facts in my pos
session. subscribed and sworn to in some cases,
and they cannot be controverted, and in other
districts in the State it is equally as bad.:' 1t
will not be surprising if Mr. Wilson makes an
exposure of this whole business when Congress
meets, whatever the result in his district may

party if Mr.. Wilson is defeated.
1t looks as though Mr.. Harrison's nerve had
failed him and that the idea of calling an extra
session of Congress for the purpose of passing
the Force bill and the apportionment bill, had
been abandoned. 1t is still possible that he
may issue the proclamation calling it after the
election, and very probable should the demo-
Gratis carry the House, as they will if there is
an honest vote cast and their voters go 10 the
polls.
There are no new developments in the scram-
BILE for the place of the late Justice Miller On
the bench of the Supreme Court Attorney
General Miller has returned from his visit to
Indiana. but it has not transpired whether he
succeeded in his effort to make a bargain that
would result in the withdrawal of the opposi-
tion OF the republican leaders of that State to
his nomination to the vacancy, That opposition
was strong enough last year to defeat his as
plratlons and if it should be exerted it will do
it again. but if a deal has been OF can be made
the Attorney General will get the prize.
The republican District Attorney here has
decided that the crime of the recent republican
postmaster of the House Wheat, in taking
brIbes, is not punishable under the law. be-
cause the law does not recognize the status of
Congressional employees. Queer isn't it?

THE gentlemen whose names are on the
County ticket deserve hearty support from the
voters, next Tuesday. A better ticket was nev-
er put in nomination by any political party in
the County. The Democracy of old Portage
is soldly in line with that throughout the State,
in the matter of first class public service, and to
that end selected men whose names are guar
anty of ability, honesty, and a thorough admin
istraon of the vario US offices for which they are
named. BY next Tuesday every voter will have
thoroughly made up his mind as to what ticket
or candidate he will support. In county affairs
as well as all others, political, let it be borne in
mind that long continued retention of one party
is not the way to insure the best service. A
change in the political makeup of the court
house officials would be beneficial to Portage
County in more ways than one.
These facts should be carefully considered
between now and Tuesday, as we have no doubt
they will be. There is no reason why a portion
of the Democratic ticket, at least, should not be
elected, and if every Damocrat does his duty
il will be-

WASHINGTON, u. C.. Oct. "a, 1890
The republicans in their desperation to save
themselves from the defeat which seems to be
awaiting them, have thrown discretion to the
winds. and the scenes around the departments
remind one of the times when Jay Hubhell,
Dorsey. of Star route fame, and others of the
same stripe, were compelling the clerks in the
government service to give up regular per-
csntage of their salaries to the corruption fund
of the sc. o. p" Money is being openly de-
manded of the clerks, and in plain language
they are told that if they fail to chip in they
will lose their places. The Ohioans and In
dianians have taken the lead in the bull-dozip o.
of the helpless employees. Mr.. Harrison is fully
aware of what is going on. and he says not
word to stop this shameful and outrageous vio-
lation of law the members of the Civil Service
Commission know all about it, and do nothing
except to draw their salaries. 1t is apparent
that if enough votes can be purchased, the re-
publicans will retain their grip on the House of
Representatives, but it is the first time that any
political party has been so open in showing its
Intention to rely upon the purchase of votes
The adyices received by the Democratic Con-
gressional committee from all sections show
that it is their unlimited supply of money upon
which the republicans depend to carry the
doubtful districts, but the democrats still hope
that the honor of the American voters will be
proof against the bribery that will be proffered
by the republicans on election day.

THE OUTLOOK
Indicating q Glorious
Result,
In the Election of Honest
Thad Cromley and the
Entire Democratic State
and Congressional
Ticket.
Coeent Reasons for a Popular
Triumph.

The Democrats of Ohio have glori-
GUS opportunity to win grand victory
on Tuesday next. On the platform of
the lowest taxation consistent with the
public interest they began the campaign
many lengths ahead of the Republican
party, which at the very start declar-
ed for higher taxation, and that at
time when the necessities of life
were the highest and times never
so bad in ten years. They remem-
bered practical farmer who has
toiled upon his land all his life and
whose heart was in natural sympathy
with the toiling masses. The Republic
ans nominated a lawyer and
politician; man whose life
was engrossed with the care of politics,
and whose impulses were not With the
common people. The selection was
characteristic of both parties-the Dem
ocratic party always contending for the
masses and the Republican party stand
ing out for the classes.
With a knowledge of these facts the
campaign entered upon its course and
has now about run its career. The indica-
tions are fatTering to the success
of the Democracy. They made
their fight against increased taxes and
in favor of cheaper necessities of life.
The iniquities of the Mckinley bill as
it goes through the land robbing right
and left, have been thoroughly expos

colossal conspiracy of the Republicans
to tear the clothes from the backs of
the people and food from their mouths.
From all points of the Ohio compass
comes tidings of political comfort and
great joy. The Republicans concede
the election of IL Democratic Congress
men whose votes will be against the
high protection robbery and against the
shameless Force bill to stifle public
sentiment opposed to the party in pow
er. They will vote against the tyranny
and despotism which despoiled dozen
Democratic members of Congress of
their seats. But the Ohio Democracy
will elect more than twelve Congress-
men! They will elect fifteen out of
the twenty-one. From every county
comes words of cheer and hope for Thad
Cromley, the candidate of the farmers
and the masses. The stand taken by
the Republican members of the Legisla-
ture against honest government in
Cincinnati has disgusted thousands
of their party friends and
they will stay away from the polls on
Tuesday. Senator Brice expresses hope
and confidence in the result. The Dem
ocratic State Committee is satisfied with
the result. Politicians who have OBJ
served the situation with keen eye
gives assurances of Democratic success.
The very air seems fragrant with the
perfume of Democratic triumph. Let
every Democrat in Ohio take the hope
and go forth to the polls on November 4,
and the triumph of that day will be as
glorious as was that of one year ago.

SEVERAL weeks since TIE REPUBLICAN had an article relative to the fatal effects of the bite of the small skunk and mentioned the fact that a cattleman named Conway had been bitten by one of the little animals, near Rye, Gila County. By the latest dispatches from the East, it is noted that Conway has become alarmed and is now in New York being treated, according to the Pasteur method, for incipient hydro phobia.

U. $. REGISTER BROWN.

This gentleman in his organ, the Cit iseR, says:
 At that time Herbert Brown was as much manager of the Citizen as he Is today, and by them so considered, as wolhey's letters to him will abundantly prove, His Republicanism at that time was not questioned, It was good enough to help them Into office, and is as good now as 1t was then or theirs ever dare be, and if they say to the con trary they vilely and maliciously lie.
 A little mixed, but will answer our purpose. Now, Mir. Brown, the organ has never questioned your Republican ism or had an unkind word of you officially. We have dealt only with your inconsistencies, not to use a harsher expression, as Editor Brown because without cause or justification you have maliciously turned against those who had been your friends.
 You now either maliciously, or in your evident rage, forget that it was your present dear and honored friend to whom you lately so abjectly apologized, that made the charges against your Repub- licanlsm. TIE REPUBLICAN published those Democratic Editor" and "Assas- sin" editorials of Moriord's as evidence that you, and not Governor Woltley, wrote your Morford editorial and, MT. Brown, they clinched you beyond an swer, except with dirt.
 "As Wolhey's letters abundantly prove," you say. So, ho, MT, Brown, you still have an abundance of Governor Woltley's letters. Now, Mir. Brown, you have charged that Governor Wolfey wrote the Morford editorial. Governor Wolfley says that is not true and has authorized you to make public all his manuscript. He has also offered you $500 to produce his manuscript of the Morford editorial and sl00 for each and every other editorial manuscript reflect ing unjustly on any Republicans in this Territory. You have said that his urg- ing you to assault Republicans turned you against him. You admit you have his letters in abundance" now show them up and prove him un- worthy of belief, or stand your self condemned. Swallow your cud I, Herbert, forget your newspaper jealousy and the world will not be half the green cheese it now looks to you. You know that you have no other cause of com plaint and everybody else in the Terri tory equally we'll understands it to be so. The organ" is forgiving, is in good health, and sooner or later we will both be doing good work, and side by side for the Republican cause. We know that you do not like to see big brother in the field, but never mind, it will be your own fault if we do not yet give you many kind lift.

Now comes the Heraid with its little penny whistle, the swollen cheeks o its owner just visible around the corner, furnishing the wind, and pipes out its astOnishment that anyone could find fault with the Reynolds bill, which on the whole it suggests, is superior tc the Supervisors bill, and repeats the false statement that it was the bill originally agreed upon. We have nc desire to go into further controversy upon this subject. It is useless. The people want railroad. So does THF REPUBLICAN, but we all want it upon the lines agreed upon with the people when they voted upon the question authorizing the Supervisors to issue the bonds. Those agreements were:
 l. That the shortest route should be chosen.
 ?. That it should be tirst-class road built of frst-class material.
 3. That the Supervisors should fix rates.
 4. That the road should be begun in three months and completed in eighteen months.
 These conditions were not carried out in the pending bill. If they are not it is fraud. We are assured, however, by men in control of the wires on this subject, that the bill will be amended to cover all these promises. That is all we ask. Having accomplished what we were after, we hope for speedy passage of the bill and prompt beginning of construction. We shall be as happy when we see the scrapers at work and the iron going down as the little coterie of land-grabbers who expect to float them selves to safe anchorage on the food tide of business that it is hoped will come with the beginning of this work.

TIE Tucson Citizen says it got into all its fights by championing the cause of Governor Wolfey and Surveyor General Johnson. This would seem to be con. fession that Governor Wolfiey did not write the articles as charged by the Citizen. Did the Citizen abuse Mir. Moriord as "The Judas of the party" in the cause of Governor Wolhey? Not much. Gov. ernor Wolhey and Mir. Morford were perfectly friendly then and such cham. pionship was not needed. The Citizen is evidently getting into deep water.
