A brilliant and witty lawyer Of this city
was recently asked how it was possible
for one Of his intelligence, convictions
and especially of his sense of humor to be
a Republican. He auswered:="Why,
what ia the matter with the Republican
partys If you leave out the Mckinley
bill, and the Force bill, and Quay aud
Dudley, and Wanamaker. and Raum, and
Tom Reed, and Blaine. and Harrisop, the
party's all right"

why Condone stumpf's Crime 2

Why Condone stumpf's Crime ?
We understand John Stumpf, the
convicted Republican ballot-box stuff
er of the Bath House precinct, is
working up a petition to the Court to
suspend sentence on him. His pre-
vious good conduct is represented as a
reason for this leniency, and it is
pleaded that he erred, not through
criminal design, but through weak
ness and good natured compliance
with the wishes of his colleagues.
We cannot see how any judicious
person, republican or democrat, can
sign this petition. We sincerely hope
the Court viii attach no Importance
to it. We can see nothing in Stumpfs
Ease which differentiates it from about
half the individual cases in these
prosecutions, and we see more than
one particular in which Stumpf is a
meaner rascal than his fellow con-
victs.
The court has, so far, made il a rule
to draw no distinctions in these trials.
1t has held all the defendants equally
guilty and has imposed the same pun
ishment on ali. This is not the time
or place to discuss the justice of that
course. 1t Is the time and place to
protest against a departure from it in
the interest of one man. Was Stumpf
a young man of good character, prev
ious to this actf Granted. But so
were about half OF all the defendants.
Some OF them were such bright, prom
Using young men, that, even abomin-
ating as we do their crime, we cannot
but feel sorrow for themselves. In
this circumstance of his case, Stumpf
has no advantage, nc title to %leniency.
Again we are told he consented to
the crime through weak good nature.
The same is true Of many others
among the indicted men. They were
associated with damnabie scoundrels
like Tom Trotter, and they weakly
fell into sin. Why should they take
the full penalty while Mr.. Re
pHblican Stumpf goes free? Is
the fact that he is a Republi-
can a good reason? 1t seems to us
on the contrary that this is the very
reason for furnishing him severely.
II the Democratic party has done
wrong in Hudson, it is the rottenn ess
of the Republican party that has
made such wrong possible, and Mr..
Stumpf is just the type of mar, who
by winking at the crimes he is sworn
to prevent, is responsible for all that
is evil in politics. 1t seems to US
that Stumpf's own testimony, il any
one can believe it, and assuredly
we agree with the jury in only believ-
ing it half way. is his worst con-
demnation. He coolly admits that
he was aware OF all sorts of ir-
Irregularities in the election. When
did he ever attempt to do his duty
respecting them2 Did he expose
them7 Did he denounce them to the
Board of Canyassers? Did he report
them to his own County Committed
No, only when his own wretched in
terests are in jeopardy. he goes On the
witness stand and meanly and weakly
tries to shove over on others the en-
tire blame for the wrong that could
not have been committed without his
help.
We repeat he is one of the meanest
of all the r~ascals, and we hope he will
be dealt with by the Court in Just the
same manner as that other Republican
traitor, j. Thomas Durancy. General
Ramsey's tool.

goes to a library, ten have distinct
IDEAS as to the authors who please
them. II a reader knows the title Of
a book he wants, and not the author,
it is the business Of the library OIL
cials to supply the missing point OF
information, and it is a comparatively
easy matter for them to do so. But
it is impossible for them to guide
the applicant who has no precise
book in view, but wants to look
through a catalogue until something
strikes his OF her fancy. For this
class, embracing probably forsy-nine
out OF fifty visitors, the catalogue by
authors is obviously the proper re-
source. and this is what should have
been furnished in the matter of fiction
as apparently it is to be in the general
catalogue.
IL would have cost no 1t
would have given less trouble to pre-
pare 1t. 1t would have been a true
finding list instead of a cropping list.
and it would have shown an appreeia-
ton of the public needs which seems
lacking in the present production
We look forward with great interest
to the appearance of the main cata-
logue in which the classification by
authors has been followed out.
