State Elections and the Force Bill

The New York Tribune says that there
was not line in the force bill as it was
presented in the last Congress which
would have affected any State or local
election. The World contradicts this state
ment in the following convincing manner.
We quote:
"That Is not true. The bill did not OF pressly
relate TO State or local elections, but solely 10
elections OF congressman. But as We elect gov
ernors and other strse and local officers az the
same time and in tho same places with congress
men the TFi5anS knows that the supervision OF
congressional elections by partisan agents OF
the John Davenport stripe, with their Cages,
their wrlts, and their other appliances Of in
timidation, would as directly affect the State
and ivca elections as the elections for congress-
men.
ain this city, for example, local officers will
be voted for on the same ticket with electors and
congressman iu Novembe-. aud two years hence
a Governor and state officers will be elected at
the came time "a representatives.
"Dayonpor.'S agents would supervise these
elections II the force bill we're law"
Moreover, the ignorant negroes in the
South would all vote as the Republican
supervisors told them to vote. They
would look upon the Democrats as the
enemies of the country, and upon the Re-
publican supervisors aud other election
officers as the representatives of the Union
of the States Thousands OF Democrats
would probably stay away from the polls.
even in the northern States. And the
evils we have predicted would only be
1.-The beginning of the end" Tyranny
end misrule would soon follow. Forced
elections. or rather no elections at ALL
would be the outcome OF the new law be-
fore many wears. In fact the force bill is
one thing which should attract the atten-
ton of all good Democrats when they ad-
dress a crowd OF voters. There Is death
in it.

The Next Hou.e-The presIdency.

General NEwBTRRY's statement IN his in
terview with DIsrAToH representative
that the Peoples party would have candi-
dates for the House Of Representatives in
ali the congressional districts in Virginia
ought to serve TO warn the Democrats
that they must not only carry this State
for CLEVELAND and STEVENSON. but must
elect our nominees for the House OF Re-
representatives.. However, the fact that We
have congressman to elect this foil will
strengthen the army of workers whom the
Democrats will put in the field to labor
for the success OF the Democratic nomi-
nees for President and yice-president of
the United States. Let US profit by that
fact.
But victories are not 10 be won by the
idle, the supine, and the indifferent. They
result from the hearty. sincere, constant
endeayors of men who. though they nomi-
nally enlist themselves for party work.
firmly believe that in doing that work
they are also working for the good OF the
country. The man will be sure TO perform
his work in slovenly manner who does
not believe. to use Mr. GARrrELD's words.
that 'he serves his country best who
serves hrs party most" Perfunctory eff
forts in behalf Of the cause of Democracy
cannot result as the good people Of Vir-
Pinia would like for their labors to result ;
nor can we elect congressman by staying
ut home throughout the canvass and de-
pending upon the depositing OF a single
ballot on election-day to do all our cam
paign work for Us.
General NEwBBRRY says that the Peoples
party viii have fifty members in the next
House of Representatives. Possibly; but
we do not expect the new party TO grow so
rapidly ~ General NEwBERSY expects IL to
grow. lie charges that Wall street has
bought up or in some manner secured all
but nine of tho Peoples party members of
the present House. This is serious
charge. Who are the nine? And what are
the names of the members who soid them
selves to Wall street?
But General NEwBEREY says that his
party will labor this fall TO throw
the election into the House OF Re-
representatives.. To what end? He admits
that he has only nine members in that
body upon whom he could rely. What OBJ
ject could they accomplish by throwing
the election INTO the House of Representa-
tivesi Zoe House would have no choice
o. to candidates. but would have to elect
CLEVELAND. or HARRISON, or WEAVER. Sup
posing that in November WEAVER outruns
the Prohibition nominee for Presldeat).
But We have q notion that the people will
not be party to the plan of throwing the
election into the Holse of Representa-
tives. If in November next il shall appear
that the election is about to be turned over
to that body the people &C the States relied
upon to secure that object mag possibly
determine to decide the question at the
ballot-b box. It's not yet certain that there
is a single State in the Union whose people
are ready and willing to abdicate their
right 20 elect. a President of the United
States and place that power in the hands
of one house of Congress. IN which house
New York. like Nevada or Delaware. would
have only one vote.

A Member of the Big Four" Wrong

A Member of the Big Four" Wrong.
General SAMUEL C. EEwBERRY dlstin-
yuished himself as leader of "the Big
Four Senator's" who broke the hold OF
NAnogE upon the General Assembly OF
Virginia and rendered great service to the
Commonwealth. His enthusiasm carried
him into the Readiuster party; his pa
triotism brought him out of it. And yet
we now find him with the Ihird-party
people. aud we have another exhibition of
his enthusiasm in the interview which he
accorded our Wytheyille correspondent
Friday, and which we published yesterday.
We had thought that the General had
enough of Third parties. He found AN
intolerable tyranny exercised over the
Readiusters and he burst from their eau
Gus. denouncing the submissionists and ex-
claiming, "Tais ray. freemen words
which became our bsttle-cry when We
fought and won the memorable battle of
1858. which dislodged MALONE from power.
Set General NEwBERHY would now contri-
butte 10 the succe.s of an even more arbi-
trary power; the power Of the torce-bill,
the power 10 control our elections by Fed
eral machinery, and the power TO fill the
halls Of Congress with the myrmidons Of
a Republican administration. This is
what the creation of a Third party IN Yir-
giuia might help 20 do.
We concede that the General and many
other well-meaning men do not believe
that their course Will so result but they
cannot foresee what may happen when we
begin 10 break ranks.
They ought to come back to their places
in the Democratic line. There is no room
for Third party in State where the
supreme and ever-present question is
whether the whites or the negroes shall
rule. We trust that General NEwgERRY viii
soc the issue in its true light before the day
Of the election. The northwestern peo-
pie, whom he praises 50 much, have no
such menace TO their prosperity when
they leave the old parties as the Demo
Gratis OF Virginia have whom they leave the
Democratic party.
The General was good soldier-though
we believe that his present title, like
General Frrr.p's, IL . post-bellum militia
title and whom he sees the lines OF battle
forming IN this campaign should DO I'M

corr BALEsTIER. New York MACMILLAN
4 Co.
The story begins in the town of Topaz,
COL. and ends in province in India. The
heroine. Kate Sheriff, imsRines that her
work is to elevate her sisters in India, and
despite the plsadings of her lover, Nick
Tarvin, goes to that far-of country as q
missionary nurse. Tarvin follows her. with
two objects in view. One is 10 bring KATE
back: the other to secure 1.-THE Naulah-
ka," the State jewels of certain province,
he having promised them to the wife Of a
railroad president on con iition that she
would see tho Three c." road brought to
Topaz. He secures the Naulahka. but has
to choose between bringing the gems or
Kate home, and he decides in favor Of the
latter prize. The book throws flashlights
upon western manners and Oriental Gus
toms, intrigues, and superstitions. Tar
vim is q typical western town-boomer, and
although his oriental setting is often most
incongruous and grotesque the story is
very readable.
