AGAINST BRIBERY,

AGAINST BRIBERY.
We see in some of our exchanges
some criticism against the resOlu-
ton adopted by the Congressional
Committee to prevent bribery in the
primaries; and the DIRECTORS all
hang their argument on the single
assertion that all the candidates will
be more or les9 guilty, and that a
primary election cannot be held
without bribery and corruption.
This, if true, is a sad commentary
upon the Democratic party; and if
not true, it is an insult to the gen
tlemen who are candidates for Con-
gress. We are inclined to resent the
charge in the name of the candi.
dates; at least in behalf of some of
them. We would be sorry to believe
that all these gentlemen would SO
disappoint their friends and so be-
smirch their characters, as to de-
bauch the polls for the empty honor
of a purchased seat in Congress.
Any man who will buy his way in
to Congress at the expense of his
good name, has paid very dearly for
a glittering bauble.
But for the sake of argument,
grant that they all will. Then if
the committee is true to itself and
true to the people, they will declare
the nomination void, and refuse to
give the nomination to anybody.
This heroic action might, and
doubtless would, cause trouble in
the ranks; it might result in split
in the party; and that might even
result in the election of a Republi-
can or Populite to Congress; but
even that, bad as it would be, would
be better than TO become the &C
knowledged aiders and abettors in
the candidacy of a man who, ad-
mittedly. had secured his nomina-
ton by bribery and corruption; by
degrading the sovereign voter; by
filching from the people their sacred
right of free, fair, unpolloted bal
lot.
That is all bosh about not being
able to stop the buying and selling
of votes. The men who make the
argument, in the main, are the men
who do the buying. The trouble is
to control the buyers. If the can
didates themselves and their lieu
tenants will take high moral ground
against this evil; if they will pledge
themselves to the people and to
each other not to use any money,
whiskey or other corrupting in
tluence, directly or indirectly, in
person or by next friend; if they
will take this stand, give each to
the other his word of honor, and as
honorable men stand by their word
there will not be a dollar wrOngfully
spent in the primary election on
September "a.
1t is not the people; it is the can
didates and their managers and
leaders who make corrupt elections
and whenever the people begin tC
hold the candidate responsible fol
the acts of his friends, these corrupt
election methods will cease.
: "Where there's a will there's g
way" There can be 20 sellers i
there are no buyers; and the mar
whose nomination is corruptly OBJ
tanned, ought not to be allowed tt

One of our Oldest and most or
thodox ministers suggests that if
they had had such things in Bible
times as fleets and guns, and if
we should find recorded in the
Old Testament story that on a
certain day the Israelites sent out
a fleet to fight the Philistines,
and that the Philistine fleet was
entirely destroyed, while not one
single Israelite was killed, the
critics would all pronounce the
statement a fable. utterly I'M
worthy the credence of intelligent
men, says the Poughkeepsie Eagle.
Our clerical friend is right. Such
an occurrence in Bible times
would be pronounced a legendary
miracle, and would be rejected as
having no place in real history.
Yet we have seen two such mir
acles within the past three months.
We have no right to claim direct
divine interposition, yet how dc
we know what part Providence
has taken in the matter?
