THE DEMOCRAT
Mineral Point, Friday, April 25, is7lt.
Geo. Crawford, Robt. M. Crawford,
Kinross and enonmerons.
Col. Vilas, of Madison, will in
all probability bo tho iiext Demo
cratic candidate for Governor. The
candidate on the Republican ticket
will be either Gov. Smith, or Ex
governor i aldington.
With Gen, Grant ns a candidate
for President, and Matt Carpenter
for Vice-President, the jtarty of
temperance and great moral ideas
might enter the held without fear
of defeat. What a ticket!
The Philadelphia Times says the
Illinois legislature has-been in ses
sion over one hundred days and
nobody can recall anything it has
done “except elect Jack (,ogan to
the senate and semi a newspaper
correspondent to jail."
The editor of the “Okalona
Southern States,” receives the Post
Oflico printing in payment for fur
nishing the radical press of the
North with campaign thunder. Rut
this paragraph from his paper is
not so had after all: “Finally, with
bloody hands and pockets bulging
with stolen money, it (the Republi
can party) fell before the wrath of
an indignant and outraged people,
Tim Michigan Republicans barely
escaped defeat at the late election
held in that Slab', but they have
not ceased crowing over the “great
victory.” I ftbe Republseaiis should
succeed in carrying lowa next fall
they will count it a victory also.
Surely radicalism is on the wane
when States which have heretofore
given Republican majorities of forty
and fifty thousand, can no longer
be counted safe for (but. party.
I lon. (100. I lazelton, is neither a
prophet, nor the son of a prophet.
In a burst of prophetic eloquence be
told us in 187(5, that should (be
Democratic party ever regain* con
trol of Congress, all Rebel claims
Would be paid in full. Well, the
Democrats have regained control of
(longress, and were it not (nr the
votes of several Republican mem
bers the question of these Rebel
claims would never be brought into
Congress again. I lazelton has
proved a false prophet as well as a
poor ('oiigressmiiu.
Why Democrats Insist on the
Repealing Clause.
Eureka (Nevada)Sentinel.
The position of the Democratic
majority in Congress deserve (o be
more fully understood by the coun
try. A partisan telegraph gives
the Republican side of the question
daily. The whole truth is that
under the pretext of preserving the
purity of (hi' ballot box vast sums
of public money have been dislri
billed through the medium <>f
Fed era I Supervisors and Deputy
Marshals for Republican campaign
purposes. The Democrats ,■ implv
say that (bis sort of thing shall not
go on any longer, and they will re
disc li pass (be usual appropriation
bills in.less all campaign corruption
money i. kept. out. They express
a willing!ess to continue the Super
visors, ou> from each party, but
they insist bat they shall have no
other power;,ban to supervise the
elections, see (bat (bey are fairly
conducted, ant report l<> (be proper
authorities if (ley are not. This is
precisely right, md the Democrat
should never g< an inch further,
dead lock or m> lead lock in (be
wheels of the (iovrnment. If the
Democrats had tie appointment of
tb(> Supervisors ami Deputy Marsh
als we would (lieu si > bow ijuieklv
our Republican trends would
change their tunes. I 1 very one of
them would to-day be i\si>tin ,r aiiv
further appropriation hr election
purposes just as the Deiuenits are.
Rut aside from the fairnesi or un
fairness of (lie business inapurelv
partisan sense, (he cost to theneople
of the country is very great.
The Comptroller of the Treason
furnished a statement to (he Co,n
mittee on Expenditures of the De
partment of Justice in the last
House, covering the accounts if
Supervisors and Deputy Marshall
in 1878, which has been settled up
to the middle of Eebnrary, “except
fur Chief Supervisors in Northern
and Southern Now York, which
have not been sent to the Depart
ment; those of New Jersey, Eastern
New York ami Pennsylvania are
not fully adjusted.”
According to that report, exclu
ding; the uccdhnts which laid not
been returned or closed, over two
hundred and two thousand dollars
were expended for Supervisors ami
■ Deputy Marshals at the elections
last fall. An analysis of the locali.
tics in which these expenditures
were made, shows conclusively that
this public money was used to aid
the election of Republican candi
dates for Congress, and that the
Deputy Marshals were electioneer
ing agents at the polls. The whole
scheme was organized at Washing
ton by the Republican campaign
committee, with an understanding
in the Department of Justice by
which (In' Deputy Marshal:- were
assigned to doubtful and close l dis
tricts, North and South, in the hope
of capturing a majority in the I louse
of Represent! laves.
In addition to the foregoing,
several hundred thousand dollars
were wrung from Federal employees,
under threat of instant dismissal,
by honest (?) John Sherman. Mow
all (his corruption money was ex
pended to preserve the pm ity of the
ballot-box and insure fair elections,
becomes a proper subject, of in
quiry.

In Maryland, Home eight thousand
dollars we're successfully eoiieei it rat
ed on the Sixth District with a,
knowledgeo('a 1 •enioeratie tlet’eetion
to weaken the hold of the regular
nominee. 'l'o defeat (leneral W il
liams in the Detroit District, all the
force of the Adniistratioii was ap
plied to that point; so in Virginia,
in the district now represented by
Jorgensen, llepuhliean, of which
liars were i ntertained; so in South
Carolina, to prevent Ihe election of
Mr. O’Conner, who got through in
spile of the Deputy Marshals and
the notorious Mackey; so in (he two
Cincinnati Districts, which will
soon he investigated; so in the Might
District of Alabama, where Rowe,
(Ireenhaeker, was elected over the
regular Democrat; and so in
Dmiisiana, where the Itepuhlieans
expected to carry two districts.
The e spots were all del'dicratelv
chosen at Washington, after earres
poiidenee with the Republican
managers. The campaign fund
was raised hydra Its on the Treasury
for llie Supervisors and Deputy
.Marshals, by assessments on the
ollicclioUlcrs, and by contributions
from the pet banks, to say nothing
of the local subscriptions and dona
tions. A round million at least
was used lor doubtful districts, and
it the result could have been fore
seen, a million more would have
been raised to make a Republican
majority in the I louse sure.
Stripped of all maimer of subter
fuge, it is (bis condition of allairs
which the Republican members of
Congress and the Republican press
throughout (he length and breath
of the land are striving to perpetu
ate. This, and only this, is the
issue engaging the attention of
Congress and the country. We
leave it to any fair minded man to
say which of the great political
parties is in the right in the contest.
