etaeling Governorsbip.

The republicans in Connecticut are try
ing 10 st al the governorship in that state,
and they have fair prospect Of success
According 10 the Connecticut law a ma
jority of all votes cast is necessary TO elect a
governor, and if no candidate gets a ma
jority the legislature must elect o governor
In the November election the democratic
candidate, Mr.. Morris, received majority
of twenty-six. That is what the returns OF
the state board Of canvassers show.
A select committee was appointed by the
lower branch Of the legislature 70 canvass
the votes for state officers. 1t is composed
Of FIVE republicans and three democrats
The democratic members have agreed to a
report that Mr.. Morris was elected. The
five republican members have prepared a
report in which they state that Mr..
Morris was not elected, although he has
a majority Of twenty-sIx Of ali the
votes counted. They have gone behind the
returns and claim 70 have discovered evi-
dence that quite a number of votes which
ought 70 have been accepted by the judges
Of election were refused by them. For In
stance, some were refused because they con-
tanned marks which the law does not permit.
and others we're refused because they did not
contain exactly the words which the law
provides. Their report will be made 10 the
House next Tuesday. The House being re-
publican it will, Of course, be adopted, and
it is probable that Gen. s. E. Meryin. who
was the republican candidate, and who was
defeated by 1000 majority, win be chosen
governor.
Why is it that the republican organs
which are always looking out for politi-
cal outrages in the south have nothing 10
say about this outrage in Connecticut Do
they approve OF going behind the returns in
search Of technicalities to defeat the will of
the peoplel The democratic candidate
not only received a majority over his repub-
lican opponent of more than 1000, but ais o
a majority Of twenty-six Of all the votes
which were in the ballot-boxes, and yet
republican legislature says he shall not have
the Office to which he was elected.
The upper branch of the legislature has
already recognized Mr.. Morris as governor,
and, as Gov. Buckley purposes to hold on
to the governors Office until there is a salts
factory agreement as to who his successor
is there is promising prospect Of an ins
teresting triangular fight for possession of
the gubernatorial Office.

One Of the most peculiar cases ever
known in the history of Illinois is that of
Judge Stipp, of Princeton, who recently
became deranged from the effects of anxiety
and worry over the necessity for passing
the death sentence upon a convicted muir
derer, although he has been on the bench
for twenty years. But a relative of the
judge was recently hanged ard subsequently
proven innocent, which has so preyed upon
the judges mind that he became averse tc
applying the death penalty on circum
stantial evidence. but saw no way to avoid
it Such an end of long and distinguished
a career at the ripe age Of 20 years is truly
unfortunate.

plsrespectful Criticism.

''When. the other day. saw for the first time
those giIded bowls which plentifany bespangle
the north face Of the capitol" said a stranger
from afar to Washington Star reporter. I
supposed that they we're merely gigantic Gus
pidors. ! really don't think that the mistake
was an unnatural one, inAsmucn as their shape
would certainly suggest TO any ignorant prison
the idea. and have always understood that the
average congressman has a weakness for IN
licensed expectoration, which would naturally
render desirable a few such hints emb de d
even in the architecture Of the building which
houses the national legislative noiy.
However, upon O second visit TO the great
structure upon the hill have concluded that
what At first mistook for spittons are in reality
cOnyentionaliz.d bath-uubs. To this conclusion
have been led chiefly by observation OF the
statues IN the hall OF echoes There Is one mar
be figure there Of a gentleman named Baker,
who appears to be clad with the utmost sim
plicity in a sheet, such as is ordinarily provided
at Turkish bath His very attitude. With one
hand extended and an inquiring expression,
says as clearly as possible Is this the way to
the cold plunzeP
Then there is another gentleman named
Sherman, from Connecticut, who is likewise
attired in a bath sheet He looks. however. as
II bis trousers had been stolen and he had
adopted the sheet lest his appearance without
the essential garment in so public place
should excite remark. William King of Maine
is still another person who appears wrapped in
sheet, though he wears high boots beneath.
But the real Turkish bath method in statuary
IS only 10 % iOuno perfectly Illustrated IN Jne
colossal figure of Washington at the east front
Of the building. II that statue means anything
whatever, 1t is that George is enjoying a tenn
perature Of 100 degrees 10 the hot room. There
is no other Significance which can possibly be
attached to It, inasmuch as the father Of his
country could never have appeared in such
guise ualess Sc Turkish bath.
1T is appalling to think OF the cuss words
which Gen. Washington would utter could he
see that statue of himself now. One is almost
tempted to believe that he would have foregone
the dignity Of being father of his country had
he known that his efflZy would be exhibited to
subsequent generations in such guise of ex-
nosurs ;,

A Question Hear Should Answer

A Question Hear Should Answer.
INV that the force bill is again being
discussed, Senator Hoar. who has charge Of
it, ought to tell the country whether OF not
there IS any stroag sentiment anyWh here in
favor of it. In no part of the country is
there any noticeable demand for IL, and
when, week or so ago, it was thought 70
have been finally laid aside, the republican
press did not express any regrets at its fate.
II is certain that the republicans Of the
north are not insisting upon its passage,
and the white republicans Of the south are
opposed 10 it. As for TIE black republicans,
they know very little about it. Some of
the black politicians may be in favor Of it.
but the great mass Of the blacks are wholly
Indifferent with regard TO it.
In an interview in the New York Press
a day or two ago. Col. E. II. Ropes Of Cor
pus Christi, Tex, who is a very prominent
republican Of that state. said that the Texas
republicans were opposed to the force bill.
And the Press, which Is one Of the most ex-
IRENE Of the republican organs, in noticing
the interview editorially, agreed in a half
hearted way that the bill would not be ben
efcial to the south and not, perhaps, to the
Republican party.
"In my Judgment, said Col. Ropes. 1.-THE
bill would do no good anywhere in the
south, and it would do injury In almost
every part Of the south" This is the
opinion Of a man who lives in the south,
and who has studied the situation closely.
And yet Hoar, Spooner and other force bill
Nn1fe -,
vince any sane man that the bill would do
their party no good, and would do the south
an incalculable amount Of harm, insist upon
its becoming a law. Are they influenced
in their course by their hatred of the south,
or have they some object in view which
they have not yet disclosed
Col. Ropes declared that in his opinion
ut is not possible by legislation in free
countrywide this to prevent an entire COM
munity to protect itself from an unmiti-
gated evil" He has no sympathy with
those who would bring about a condition Of
affairs that would lead to putting the ad-
ministration Of municipal, county or state
affairs into the hands of the blacks. Black
rule he regards as an unmitigated evil 1t
would be a greater evil. in his opinion, than
the rule Of ignorant Italians in New York
the Italians who are found in Mulberry street
OF that city. How long would the repub-
licans Of New Y ork rest contentedly under
domination of that sortl And yet they
seem TO think that the south ought to offer
no objection to the rule of ignorant blacks
There are good many southern res
publcans who agree with Col. Ropes that
there will never be any Republican party IN
the south until that party ceases to coddle
the blacks When it unlcads the blacks it
win begin to have strength and command
respect, and not before.
If the republican leaders were statesmen
they would follow such advice as Col Ropes
gives aud not that Of such men as Senators

England has greatly astonished and con-
fused Secretary Blaine by inviting him to
settle the equities of the Behring sea dis
pute before the United States Supreme
Court, where only cold facts in documentary
evidence and law will be considered, and
diplomatic fnesse will not count. What
the secretary seems to prefer is a war Of
wits in which be would prove no mean
antagonist for the British diplomats. Still
the fairest way is to settle the case upon its
actual merits. And it is no light tribute to
the Judicial ability and answering impair
TALLY of the supreme court that England
should be willing to abide its decision in
the matter.

Kansas doesn't appear to be very good
state for uuadulterated dem ocracY. Out of
total of something more than IT'S only nine
members of the present legislature ara
democrats. No wonder that Kansas has
become a stats of turmoil, so to speak, aud
financially feeble and depressed. Just now
it seems known to the world principally for
its heavy crop of farm mortgages which
appeared to be raised with much difficulty
and expense to the farmer. When Kansas
shall have tried season of sterling Jeffer-
sonian democratic business mstnois and
economy in the administration Of her local
affairs she may reasonably expect TO begin
an era of prosperity. Republican extrava-
games and corruption have rendered the
long continued rule of that party of gor-
geous theories and "iridescent dreams q
fat and disastrous failure.

Ingalls,, Bid for a Reelection.

The speech which Senator Ingalls, made
in the Senate the other day in favor of the
free coinage Of silver, but which contained
very little on that subject, does not seem to
have profoundly impressed the alliance
members Of the Kansas legislature. Those
of them who have expressed an opinion of
it say that they understand that 1t was a
bid for the alliance support in his fight for
recollection. The alliancemen have no
fault to find with the speech, but they are
not to be influenced to abandon their pur-
pose to defeat him by anything which ne
may say.
The truth is the alliancemen do not trust
Senator ingalls,. They know his record,
and that reveals to them more clearly than
his speech the kind of a man he is. They
are satisfied that he is demagogue. and,
| therefore, they do not want him to represent
Kansas in the Senate. Nothing that he can
say is likely to change their opinion Of him,
and it is not probable that he will succeed
in breaking their lines.
| His speech was brilliant one There is
no doubt Of that. But it was not the speech
of a statesman dealing with a great public
/ question. 1t was intended to have effect
only in Topeka. The effect it had there
however, does not appear to have been ex-
actly what Mr.. Ingalls, wanted. Instead Of
weakening the opposition Of the alliance tc
him, it had the effect of making the opposi
ton stronger. At least, that is the impress
sion which the report from Topeka makes.
The alliancemen control the Kansas legls-
lature, and will name the senator if they ACT
together, and it now looks as if they would.
They will not find an ADLER man than Mr.
ingalls,, but they will find one in
whom they have more confidence
They prefer thoroughly homes
man to a brilliant one whose princi-
Piles are not fixed and cannot always be de-
pended upon. MIR. Ingalls, speech, grea
as it was, promises TO do him more harm
than good.
