IIIE stockholders OF the sugar mill

IHE press of the country is giving
Rev. Parkhurst almost unbounded
praise and commentator for the over
throw OF Tammany. Whether Mr..
Parkhurst was or was not a powerful
agency in the defeat of Tammany, it
is contain that the party about to go in
power in New York is no better either
politically or morally than the much
condemned organization that has been
disgracing the country for these many
years. If the right Reverend gentle
man wants reform let him work with
reform party and then he will be ap.
plauded by truly christian people.

The republican leaders feel very
comfortable over the tact that they
won't control both branches OF the
next congress. They are glad for the
opportunity of placing the response
bility Of stupidity on the shoulder of the
democratic party, and thus try to avoid
defeat two years hence. Babcock Is
personally rejoicing that the democrat
party will control the senate, in the
following language: IF we controlled
both branches of congress at the pres
ent time, there might be some doubt as
to our ability to carry the country
again in two years, inasmuch as we
might make mistakes for which the
people might punish us at the polls. ~
This shows that the republican party
is unwilling to give the country RENE
dial legislation and is only more evil
dence that that party Is after nothing
but spoils.
