Ur. Johnson:—I would take this last
opportunity of saying that all perse-a,
who are in favor of fair and honest no t
i nation h, should contribute their quota
toward« the election of William H. limb
son to-morrow, and thus give a rebuke
to the manner in which Ur. Martin was
S laced in nomination over Wm. A. Huk
1, that will be remembered by both prr
ties for years to como. There it scarcely
a fair dealing Republican to bo found
but what honestly admits, if interrogated
on the suhjeot, that Hukill received a
large majority of the legal rotes polled at
the nominating ejection, and ought to
have been declared the nominee, and the
only justification mode is, that it is par
ty usage. We say therefore to honestly
inclined men vote for Mr. Lambson, and
especially do we say so to tho ontragod
friends of Uuki'l.

Out of the twenty-five States and
Territories in which elections will be
held on Tuesday next, only one will
meet squarely a question which is just
now in the "lull"—woman suffrage.—
Tho Woman's Journal refers to the
subject thus enthusiastically : "The
moHt important day in its possibilities
that has dawned upon America since
the Declaration of Independence will
be that on which the men of Mich!
by their votes, will establish or defeat
impartial suffrage and cpial rights for
women." And yet for ull this the sky
looks dark for this branch of woman's
rights on the Lake Peninsula.—P ress.

Disappointment and Disgust.
A young man who was in Covington on
Friday, in the interest of a new heating
apparatus, heard that .Major P-was
building a new house, and speedily limit
ed up tho veteran.
"I hear you are building a new house,"
ho said to tho mnjor.
* 4 I ain't exactly building one," said
tho major, in tho tone of a man who
didn't care to commit himself, "I have
built it."
"Exactly! Glad to hear it," said the
agent. "Have you made any arrange
ments for heating the new building?"
and the agent looked anxious.
" muttered tho major, with a
stare, os if the heating of the building
was a subject that hid entirely slipped
his mind.
"So much tho bettor for you," exclaim
ed the agent, "as I think 1 have just the
article you want, combined economy,
hoat and cleanliness. Wo have sold
thousands of them throughout the coun
try, and have yet to hear of a single
failure on the part of tne heater to do all
that is claimed for it.

the numerous devices patented for heat

that I can demonstrate to you the supe

overall others. Where is your house ?"
"On Esiex street," said tho major.
"Suppose youjumpin the carriage with
me, and take a drivo over there. 1 should
liko to see it."
The major consented, and getting his
overcoat, ho mounted tho seat with the
hopeful and eloquent agtnt, and they
drove off. On tho way the agent rapidly
went over the many favorable points of
tho adinirablo heater, and was much
gratified at tho impressions ho had < vi
olently made on his companion.
Arriving in front of tho new building, a
large and rather unprotonding structure,
the agent said :
"What are you going to do with this,
major ? Make a tenement or a boarding
house of it?"
"Oh, no," said tho major, as he careful
ly reached the ground and looked inno
cently around, "it's an ice house."
"What?" screamed the agent.
"It is an ice house," replied the major
blandly.

A Change -Necessary.
From the N. Y. Jour, of Commerce.
Wehavoa very decided feeling that
a political revolution in this State at
present is of moro importance than all
tho other issuos in the canvass. There
will be no revival of trade, and no per
manent ri»covery from the present ex
treme depression in business circles, un
til thero is an entire change in the ad
ministration of public affairs. When
wo stated this, plainly, at the close of the
summer holidays, and suggested our own
remedy for the existing financial troubles,
somo of our contemporaries in the parti
san harness ridiculed our fears, ana pre
dicted that our representations would be
overthrown by the prosperity soon to be
developed on every side. The season for
such activity has gone by. and their pro
dictions have not been realized. We are
soon to enter upon a winter which p
ises moro hardship and enforced idleness
among the working classes than has been
experienced at any time since the close of
the war.
non -
If tho poople arc not contant to sit
down quietly under nuoh a prospect, it is
high timo for them to give some expres
sion of their impatience, and we know of
none bo signal, and likely to be of such
essential service to themselves and the
country at large, as a rebuke to the dom
inant party by tbo proposed revolution in
this State.
Such a change would be worth more
tluvn tho most convincing logic of the
soundest political economist in forcing
uuon Congress at its coming session the
adoption of somo remedial measures to
re-establish financial affairs upon a soun
der basis. We do not think that any
thing which the majority in Congress
can do will roll b*ck the tide of royol®
tion. We think that the great mass of
nou-partisan people are heartily sick of
Grantism, by whatever political name it
may be called, and of tho reign of the
torrupt horde of office-holders now
ipg upon the vitals of the nation.

"COLD WATER DID IT."
Nothing else had such an influence
on the Ohio election as colil water,
thinks the Times, which says
"There is no room for doubt tlmt
much of the gain'made by the Demo
cracy in Ohio is due to thepronounced
position taken by the Republican party
in favor of temperance legislation.—
The party includes the great mass of
the voters of the State who are engaged
in the temperance movement. It also
includes a great many Germans who
oppose and despise tho temperance
movement. The temperance plank
the platform retrained the former,
might have bolted if it had not been
put in, and lost us the latter. This was
one cause, and a very powerful cause
forthc change which the election shows
has taken place."
Cold water is manifestly a danger
ous element, useful mainly for naviga
tion, but there arc a few issues besides
cold water which have had something
to do with tho recent rout of Radical
in
, who
ism and Grantism. There U the scan
dal and disgrace that the whole South
should be kept under the iron heels of
Grant and his man Friday, alias Lan
daulet Williams, and the stories of mur
der, rapine, and outrage, manufactured
to order by such creatures us llays, of
Alabama, and vouched for by such
trustworthy statesmen as Centennial
Hawley, have not inspired tho people
with confidence in Radicalism. A free
people do not delight to contemplate
the miserable state of affairs in Louisi
ana.
Even the Netherlands, under Alba,
and liia master Philip the Fourth were
lean plundered and less ruined than
have been Louisiana and South Caro
lina under Grant and bis agents,Moses
and Kellogg. These facts arc.stronger
Ilian cold water, and they assert them
selves at the polls. Under Republican
rule, corruption for the last five years
lias like a pest, been stalking about the
land in open sunshine. Butler had his
Secretary of the Treasury, Ins Assis
tant Secretary, liis detectives preying
upon the commerce of the country, in
Richardson, Sawyer, Jayne, and Han
borne; merchants were blackmailed in
hundreds of thousands of dollars, un
der tlic faint pretext of law, imd the
spoils were divided.
The revenues of the Goveremeut, as
in the case of the Sanborn robbery,
were farmed out to be collected at the
rate of 50 per cent, profit—a swindlo
and robbery that was only equalled a
hundred years ago in France, and led
to the greatFronch Revelation. World.
From the New York World*
Ihe Treasury Scandal.
Tho full meaning of the extraordi
nary confessions made by Secretary
Richardson concerning the Treasury's
looseness and corruption does not ap
pear at first sight, nor is it as yet ap
preciated by the public. The suppres
sion ot the receipts and expenditures
account of the Government for many
years, taken in connection with Rich
ardson's confession that the Republi
can party,
of the Tri
after thirteen years' control
reasury, liave failed to make
even decently safe tlic vast sums they
have wrung from the people under
pretence of puttingdown rebellion and
off the war debt, shows not
no confidence can be placed
in the Department's statements, hut
that all the figures wherewith Jay
Cooke, Boiitwcll, Richardson and other
Republican financiers have flattered
and deluded the public, arc not worth
the paper whereon they have been
printed nor t he space wh ich respectable
journals have giveu them. The tables
showing the "reduction of the public
debt since March 1, 1869,"
bristled with lying ligeress and pre
vented the return of Democratic major
ities to Congress in 1870 and 1872, arc
now admitted to be as false as he who
published is was contemptible. When
those who knew the truth dared to im
peach the truth of Richardson's "debt
reduction" tables they were ridiculed
and denounced for venturing to ques
tion official statements. Without
dwelling upon the character of tlic
average Republican official wc now
commend to the persons in question
tho bitter chalice which they then
held to the lips of honest men. They
insisted on our believing tlic Treasury
was well managed because its mana
