DIVINE RIGHTS.

The "Times Crescent says in its
la-t issue.
@The words insolent and assumption
ere misplaced, for being superior the
Democratic party neither has to as
sume nor voald it be insolent if it
did. 1t asserts its claim to rule by
4,iivine right and a superior intel
iigance over that mongrel or hybrid
Parry known as Republican, and
which superiofity accounts for the
Cease with which Democrats vote
existing ballots while Republicans
experience difficulty in the reading
of the names thereon contained etc."
Ills clan or class must rule by Divine
Right Divine Right forsooth! We
presume the puissant chief OF the
eTimes Crescent, has been sitting at
the feet Of that scion Of Royalty in

The 18th and 1 9TH centuries. A few
years ago, a railroad and mining
president revived the old expression,
and a short while ago, the German
Emperor gave voice to this old ex-
ploded claim. Some Of the Asiaties
perhaps hold to the idea of divine
right Of certain elements bat for men
ia free America, and when nearing
the close Of the first decade of the
Goth century to make such claim,
savors of a lanentable lack, not only
Of intelligence, but of ordinary com
mon sense.
Under all the conditions as existing
it is rot very difficult to explain why
certain, elements manage to mark
tickets properly while others fail.
It needs but little intelligence to
grasp the situation, when the whole
election machinery is used for the
benefit of one party and TO the detri-
ment If another.
If any Republican State Legisla-
tire can be shown to excel the last
few Democratic Legislatures in petty
or grand graft, matters will have to
be unearthed that none ever heard

not GRAFT IF a grand order unsurpassed
By that Of any Legislature Of this
state, Their, the word graft must take
on new significance.
There are undoubtedly maliy in
