ANALYzED.

The political editor of the Bulletin got
his coat off last week and evolved Il leader
that in it's way was curio, 4 cOnundrum,
a corker. Under the caption, Disagreed
hle Rclics' our esteemed contemporary
proceeds to demonstrate that the most
disagreeab!e relics OF the financial depres-
sion is the large number Of republican
office holders ont OF job in this state,
wbilo the official easy chairs fairly VIRTUE
under the weight OF unregenerate fusion
lists. But TO examine this political curl
osity by paragraphs
First, we are told that periodical de-
n,ossinns occur about every twenty years,
and their causes should be left to the po'
litical economist. True, our worthy con-
temporary was too modest--but we are
MOTTO tell its readers that they would be
iooljs,, f. bother their heads about pClll-
cal ,conAlnv when they can get three
columns of ii each week for 81 weeks III
the Hullntn for 81. Abiding to those
.relcs, it ieelngy says some OF them
ARE 50 lainiu]ly in evidence that they
demand the immediate attention OF the
VOTERS Poor fellows.
The second bewals the fact that a fusion
administration OF the state has been per-
mitted to rob the republican party OF the
glory consequent upon the prosperity OF
the state, and that that administration
shas placed our northwestern state ON a
better foundation than she has ever before
enoyed." This too III defiance OF the
calamitous prophesies Of the Bulletin and
other dispensers of the republican brand
of political economy. Too bad!
The next alludes TO some hair tearing,
bouquet throwing newspapers, which
differ about fusion. This is confusing,
and the economists should have been
more definite, so that one wonld know
whether the fusion between democrats,
popuists and Lincoln republicans was
meant, or whether there was being trouble
in the fusion camp Of llannaized republic
cans and levelandzed democrats. This
is too obscure.
The next contains such an Indictment
Of the last session Of the Legislature as to
call for its reproduction. Here it is:
"Our statute books still contain quite
an amount OF unreasonable Pop. legis-
lation."
Ii this is true (Which everyone knows it
is not the only way it can be accounted
for is that the Legislature Of last year was
so busily engaged in pulling Levi An.
keny's leg, that it did not really have
time to repeal the pernicious populist leg
is!ation of the previous session, as it must
be plain, even to the Bulletins "econo-
mist" that if there is law ON the statute
books OF the state that is unreasonable
the republican Legislature of last year is
to blame, for either placing it there Or
failing to have it repealed
Next, we have a moan over 'the ever
lasting wrangle as to who shall be the
tri-party nominee for governor" AS this
wrangling is confined to republican pa.
pers, we beg to suggest that the Bulletin
can avoid some Of this trouble by drying
up about it.
The fact that Senator Turner warns a
chair in the senate is an exceedingly
"disagrecable relic" for our economist
friend, particularly so, as his party has
any number Of statesmen out OF jobs, any
of whom, he doubtless believes, would
fit that chair to Il T, and some OF them
have bank accounts Of abno. NAL dimen.
sions, too, Il matter of no small import
ance, we observe, in the senatorial con.
tests Of our republican friends.
The concluding paragraph fills us with
dsmay. The threat to eradicate such
"princip'es and men" as have no excuse
