So far as the JoURNAL-MINER is concerned, il is as firm a believer in silver coinage as 1t ever was, but is it to be expected that it will repu diate the party whose principles it has advocated for years, because forsoOth, it differs on one single question. In looking back over the history of this country for the past thirty five years, it cannot but recognize the fact that under re- publican rule, the country has pros pered. That the party has been true to its pledges. Ina: what il promised it has fulfilled. During the same period. financial distress, incompetency in the management of government affairs, bond issues to maintain the government, idle factories, men clamOring for work to earn the means for a livelihood, and other evils have marked the era of democratic rule. Can a man, who is honest in his political con victIons, desert his party because be differs with it on a single issue, even though that question be as import ant a one as that of finance. If democracy has made such an ignoble failure in experimenting with gov ernmental affairs in the past, what may not be reasonably expected of it in the future.
 The ausmalous position of free trade and free silver, which 1t has assumed, Is one which can not be endorsed by republicans generally, nor should it be expected that they should endorse 1t.
 It the old aud tried democracy, men who have trained for years as statesmen, have so utterly failed in the management of the government, what may not be expected of this new and besrdless idol, which they have set up and ask republicans to worship.
 Let the silver agitation go on; let democracy advocate the cause of their candidate to their hearts con tent, but will they kindly permit republicans to have opinions of their own, without being subjected to malignant personal abuse.

ABUSE NOT ARGUMENT.

Our contemporary has golden words of praise for democrats, who are honestly and conoientiously in faver of gold standard, but whose fealty 10 their party induces them to support its nominees, despite the objectionable plank, io them, favor ing silver coinage st a ratio of Is tol. On the other nand it has only the slimiest sort of abuse and per sonAl yituPerAtion for republicans who are conscientiously in favor of silver coinage but who are not will ling to surrender their life long po- litical principles on this single issue.
 Now in the name of decency. jus tiee and fairness, fl such words are to be found in the democratic yo- csbulary, We would like to inquire, why republican, favoring silver coinage. cannot with as much con- sistency. protest against the gold plank of the republican platform, and at the same time support the ticket of his party, as the democrat who honestly opposes silver coinage can do that of his.
 In its issue this morning, our contemporary had s very sensible article copied from an eastern paper, headed Abuse is Not Argument" Whether it endorsed the sentiments expressed in that article was not stated, but in other columns of the same paper were other articles of yituperatiOn and abuse against men who can not rally under a demo cratic standard even though 1t be inscribed with a "l6 10 r. motto. IL attributes all kinds of false mo- lives to republicans who refuse 10 worship the democratic idol, eyoly- ed by the Chicago convention, ac- cuses them of being "mercensUy,n eager to sacrifice every principle Of manhood and honor for personal motives, etcetrs ad libitum, forget ting that in other places IL had praised democrats for doing the same thing it abuses republicans for doing. Abuse is not argument" !" and no man can set himself up as a dictator to his fellows, in regard to politics, religion, or any other ques- ton, and none save the Infinite can fsthom the motives which actuate men.

JOHN R. PRIME THE VICTOR
Supreme Court Declares that He Was
Elected Brigadier General Of Iowa,
GOVERNOR MUST ACT ACCORDINGLY
His AuthoritS is supreme In the state,
hut Not when IL Conflicts with
well Established Rules
of Law.

DIES MONIES, Dec 2l.-(Specal Tele'
gramD-Governor Drake and Adjutant Gen
eral Wright were knocked out today In the
National Guards case. growing out of the
election of a brigadier general of the First
brigade. The aijutint general declared, EFT +
the count of the vote had indicated the cleo
ton of John h. Prime. that there had been
fraud, and ordered a new election. Again
Prime wcs elected, and the adjutant issued
the commission to James A. Guest, notwith-
standing.
Prime sued for a mandamus to compel the
issue of the commission to himself The de-
fense. made, through Attorney General Rem
ley. was that military elections could not be
governed by the civil code, and that the gov
ernor could not be compelled to take any
action, because as commander in-chief uG the
guard, his authority was supreme in the
guard.
On this point raised in a demurrer the
court ruled today. 1t held that the code pro-
vidCs that officers of the guard shall be
elected by the men and that the governor
must issue the commission to Prime, who, on
the face of the returns was elected. The
court holds that there was no fraud, and
says that If the governor does not stand by
the result of one election he could gssume
the power to appoint all officers OF the
guard. The governor had also raised the
point that In case he was subjected to any
penalty, 1t could not be enforced as he could
pardon himself and his adjutant general.
The court refers to this, and intimates that
1t will be able to force its orders, and that
1t will not be safe to proceed on such an
assumption as that il cannot enforce it's de-
CreeS. An appeal will be taken

olinger for appropriating license fees were
quashed today by Judge O'Donnell. He
held that the statutes against willful and
corrupt misconduct in Office and embezzle-
ment by public officers did not apply be
cause the mayor is not empowered to re-
ceive or disburse city funds, and therefore
did not receive the license fees by virtue of
his office. He remanded the cases 10 the

The returns from these precincts by the
election boards give: Wen. 1894; Lewis,
1,7SO. This shows a loss of fifty-eight by
the incumbent and fifty-one by the con-
testant. gain of seven for Lewis.
The ballots objected to by the contestant
in the nine precincts recounted number
forty-five and by the incumbent forty-six.
Many votes were not counted, being thrown
out by agreement. Most of these we're
against the incumbent. One claim made by
the contestant is that he will have nine
ballots in the First precinct of the First
ward that have been objected to, but must
be counted as since the counting Of that
precinct an agreement has been entered into
admitting all such ballots, The recount will
be finished today and the argument on the
contested ballots taken up. The contest
will no doubt be flushed by Wednesday.
