The House convened at noon yesterday
and In the absence of Speaker Cardwell
Mr.. Gibson occupied the chair. Rev. DR.
Cooper offered prayer.
The hall was crowded with ladies. and
for a while the fair sex monepolized the
entire attention Of the members. So alb
sorbed were the lawmakers In their devo-
tons to the ladies that when Mr. Camp
bell moved that the House suspend busi-
ness for twenty minutes. the motion was
carried almost unanimously. Mr. Bend
helm called for reconsideration. The
members then awoke to what had beer
done. and the motion to suspend was re-
jected by equally as large vote as was
cast in its favor few minutes before.

DEMOCRATS, AROUsKI

As election day approaches the gravity
OF the crisis becomes more and more
impressive. The Democratic party is on
trial before tbe country. Every voter is
a juryman The issue has the Demo
cratic party shown itself less worthy Of
the confidence and support Of the people
than the Republican party? We don't
count the POpulists.
To us it seems a belial OF every Demo
cratic conviction or instinct for any man,
however dissatisfied he may be with the
shortcomings Of the Democratic party in
its tariff measures to turn his back upon
party OF liberty and economy, which
has shown it's Jealous determination 10
defend the equal rights Of all citizens for
the purpose Of placing the Government
In the hands OF the Republican party,
whose power has been derived mainly
from the corruption Of manufacturers,
the dcbasemcnt of the Union veterans 10y
fraudulent pensions. and then attempt to
debauch voters by the promise Of some
special advantage TO each one over his
fellow citizens.
The principles OF the Democratic party
are as antagonistic to such methods as
light is to darkness, and it would be set
ting back the footsteps Of progress to-
wards the goal Of perfect government
to put any Republican in the seat OF
Democrat I'm the halls of Congress.
The Democrtic party bears on its shield
the escutChoon of truth and honor, and
OF liberty and justice TO all alike. It's
principles are 10 political institutions
what the golden rule is 10 individual life
and conduct TO tarnish this blaZonmcnt
or corrupt this well spring Of honorable
conduct is nothing less than treason
against the best interests and welfare
of the people.
The Times has denounced and win
continue TO d,nounCc. any preccpt or
practice which does not measure up to
the highest standard of these Democratic
principles.
Some weak brethren have been offended
by our assaults upon frauds and other
underhanded tricks in elections. Such time
servers should know that they are build
ing their houses on the sand; indeed, on
Il quicksand. which will swallow them
up. and not only themselves. but all
their innocent belongings.
1t Is an outrage upon Democratic prin-
ciples to have them associated with any
politics but the highest. clearcst
strongest. purcst and most lasting. We
will have nothing less than ;he best for
Democracy.
All who desire this should arouse and
vote for 1t on election day.
