Year: 1878

in Congress has been total failure and Il is
grounded firmly on a most refreshing truth He
went to Congress az the lOudest champion of all
that was bad in financial theories, and he gees homo
defeated at every point.


The Maine Democrats have nominated for Gov
ernor an ex-Rerublican, who Joined them several
years ago in the hope that ne might obtain from
them what he had long sOught for in vain ffom the
Republcans-an office. He hasn't secured the Office
yet, but has secured the nearest thing to il the
Democrats Of Maine can give anybody-a nomIna-
ton.


. Why does the Manhattan Club hasten to give
Speaker Randall a receptions Because Of his devO-
ton to free trade and persistent hostility TO the
industrial interests of his State3 If so it win be
powerful send-off for Mr. Randall IN his race for re-
election this Fall Like all fence-sltteTs, he seldom
dismOunts except upon the wrong side


The assistant Democratic statesman whom Glover
caught with paid bill for " stag whiskey in his
hand the stimulant having been used to animate
Mr. Morrson's Louisiana Investigating Committee,
declares that Mr. Morrison knew nothing about its
purchase. He adds that an unnecessary fuss has
been made about It, as the amount was no greater
than is always furnished to Congressional commit
tee appointed to attend the funeral OF a deceased
member. This shows the size OF the emotions OF the
average COngTessman He can drown them in Moth
ing less than gallon Of stag whiskey.


1t may not be impertinent to hint to Mr.Hendriels
that the time has arrived for hm to secede from the
Eastern Democracy. The vote of the Northern
Democrats against rebel claims will furnish most
excellent opportunity for appeal to the South and
the defeat Of General Ewings financial schemes Will
enable him to appeal to the West with every hope
of success Let hiIa A." come ont" and denOunee the
fraud cry as suicidal and declare as the platform
of his heart, "SOuthern Claims, Unlimited Money
and Internal improvements That would open the
way for ticket like Hendricks and Stephens, which
would sweep the country like cyclone and elect
Republican President by a tremendous majority.


There is here and there a wild-eyed Democratic ed
tor who does not understand that hispary passed the
antI-reyoution resolution Of its own free will He
is to be excused for his ignorance because he has not
vet seen the last issue of The Nation, which will tell
him that the revolutionary intent never existed
outside of an infamed Republican imagination.
Here is an editor out in Indiana, who has been 80
msled by these Republican imaginings, that he says
of the Burchard resolution: " In this supreme hour
of triumph when all the outer works Of the beetle
browed .perjury-cursed crew had been beaten down
when the Democrats were pouring into the citadel
of lies erected for the security of those who lifted
Hayes into power-just at this time the Radicals,
with the desperation Of fends wrung from the Dem
Ocratic House the confession that Hayes was duly
elected and that his title is secure" There are IN
this State other Democratic editors who are as mis-
guided as this man is. Marked copies OF The Nation
should be addressed to them without delay.
