The Teal issue to be decided in the
pending Presidential contest is, the
]>erpetuation of a republican form
of government vs. a centralized
power. The republicans will evi
dently attempt to attract the atten
tion of the people from this vital
question, but they will not be per
mitted to do so. For twenty-four
years has one party and set of men
held the reins and shaped the gov
ernment of the United States, and
one more defeat for the democracy
will perpetuate their power, and
render our present rulers the undis
puted masters of the land. The
history of this party has been mark
ed by the most bitter and partisan
tyranny, brazen robbery of the
treasury, and the condonence of the
most open-handed villainy on the
part of its adherents. Give the re
publicans four more years lease of
power, and our country will be a
republic only in name. This party
ruled even now by the wealth of
the country, and the poor are fast
becoming but serfs to the rich. Will
our people consent to see the helm
of government wrested from their
hands and transferred to a few
men? We do not believe they
will. Already is the North realiz
ing the danger threatened our re
public, and true and loyal men are
rallying under the banner of democ
racy by the thousand. While their
sympathy is with the republican
party, they will not follow it to the
destruction of “the best government
the world ever knew.” The democ
racy have chosen as a standard-
bearer a man who has proved him
self a patriot and a statesman—one in
whose hands the people will unhes
itatingly trust the helm of state. On
the other hand, in Mr. Blaine is
presented a man yet reeking with
the slime of official corruption, and
whose hands are stained with the
fruits of his bartered honor. The
people are ripe for a change, and
wc believe that Cleveland will be
placed in the Presidential chait by a
tidal wave of popular enthusiasm.
BLAINE DECS FOR QUARTER.
So long as tho republican papers
were shelling Mr. Cleveland with
the vilest and most infamous slan
ders, Blaine did not enter a word of
protest, but sanctioned such a polit-
cal crusade by his silence. But now
that the taDles are turned, and in
retaliation a democratic paper be
gins to unearth a hidden skeleton in
Mr. Blaine’s closet, the republican
standard-bearer arises in his tower
ing indignation and asks all honora
ble democrats and republicans alike
tohelp him crush the vile slander ( ?).
Mr. Blaine should have learned the
old adage about men who live ii
glass houses., etc., when he permit
ted his henchmen to blackguard and
lie upon Mr. Cleveland. Had Mr.
Blaine, like an honorable, fair-
minded man, have nipped in the
bud that Buffalo lie on Governor
Cleveland, then, with some degree
of consistency, be could here ask
the sympathy of the public in . sup
pressing one of his early indiscre
tions. Mr. Blaine may chafe under
the charge as much as he wants, but
there is not a shadow of doubt, in
our mind, about his having been co
erced into matrimony through the
shot-gun policy. Two weeks before
the Indianapolis Sentinel published
the facts, we were in Washington
City, and the subject was a common
topic of conversion. 'In fact, it
was asserted that tly* ladies have
more than once giver? Mrs. Blaine
the “cold shoulder” on this account.
So we advise the Plumed Knight to
call oil his hounds and let the dead
past bury its dead, or he will have
to submit to the mortification of
seeing the allegation proven upon
him. No one depredates such a
miserable crusade more than we,
but then, you know, it is sometime*
necessary to fight his Satanic Maj
esty with fire. -The republicans
should have seen that their own
staadard-bearer was without sin
when they cast that first stone at
Mr. Cleveland. For the past three
weeks has this gentleman been sub
jected to a baptism of filth from the
leading Blaine organs, and he bore
it without a word of protest, con
scious of the rectitude of hb past
life. At length his friends, goarded
by these brutal attacks, and feeling
that forbearance had ceased to be a
virtue, turned the tables upon the
gentleman from Maine. Blaine’s
own adherents sowed the zephyr
and they mutt reap the cyclone.'

lups as Presidential Elector in the

A portion of the diary of Sergeant
Rice, of the Greelv party, has been
published in !he New York Herald.
The thrilling incidents of their expe
rience are graphically told. Some
extracts are given below.
On August 29, Dr. Pavy. with
Sergeant Rice, started on an expedi
tion to examine the dejxit of one
thousand rations left at Lincoln Bay
by the British exjtedirion of 1875-6.
Of the difficu'ties of the route. Ser
geant Kice sav»: “finding the trav
eling over the hills and ravines moat
difficult ttnd wearisome and having
passed our first large bay (St. Pat
rick's) we wended our way to the
seashore, with the intention ot rea
ching the next hay (Wrangell) by
the icefoot. We rounded Cape
Beechy, hut, arriving at the Black
Cliffs, found the icefoot completely
ground away by the moving ice in
the a\ raits. ’ As the frowning cliffs
descended almost perpendicularly to
a great depth in tho water, it was
impossible to pass.
“It was impossible to ascend to the
plateau above, and so we were forced
to retrace our steps until a notch in
the bold coast furnished us with a
way to the tableland. After a toil
some ascent we reached the top-
elevated 1,400 leet—to find a strong
breeze blowing, with drifting, Mind
ing snow from the north directly in
our iaces. The temperature was be
low zero, and our condensed breaths
added to the melting snow on our
faces formed an icy. mass on the
beards that was, from its weight and
temperature, extieroely unpleasant.
We could do nothing but brenk the
longest icicles. It was impossible
to stop to eat or rest, as no shatcr
was afforded, and we suffered much
of thirst from which the eating of
snow gave us but little relief. The
pleasure it was to find a little water
not yet dried up by the frost when
we reached the water course of
Wrangell Bay can be understood.
We had to cut through a foot of ice
to reach it This was September L
‘Our rest was not very comforta
ble that night The temperature
was low. On placing our small can
teen to our lips it instantly stuck,
and on removal brought with it.
some pieces of skin. This will do
to point a moral or adorn a temper
ance tale. When about to start or
attempting to dress our feet our
stockings being the only part of our
clothing we changed. Our boots were
so lrozen that we had to sit shi /ering
on them some time to make them
flexible enough to go on. Our socks
became wet during the march, and
on stopping we would change them,
placing the wet pair like liver pads,
under our shirts to be dri> d by the
beat of our bodies. From Wrangell
Bay we took the icefoot and pro
ceeded very slowly, as the pileu-up
icebergs were difficult to travel
through and over/’
Further on he says:
Lincoln Bay. on its southern side,
was crammed with heavy hoebergs,
immense masses of paleocrysic ice
that had been forced up bv the terri
ble pressure of the large floes mov
ing out of the straits. We mistook
the position ot the cache in Lincoln
Bay, and finding ourselves beyond
it concluded to keep on to Cape Un
ion and obtain a view of the ice to
the northward from the better look
out afforded there. We were treat
ed to a beautiful sight. The aun was
in th©-northeast part of the heavens,
pouring a flood down the straits,
and from its low altitude, throwing
deep Rembrandt shades Irom one
side of hammocks and bergs, while
the other glistened and sparkled in
the rosy light like diamo ids. The
mountains of the Greenland coast
showed np with marvellous distinct*
r ess, being in some places distorted
by refraction into remarkable prom
inence. This was : especially tbe
case with Stephenson Island and
Cape Britania—the latter the then
highest known point of Greenland **
which one could see away to the
north, mirrowed in the.sky, with it?
dark base in a crystal setting of ice.
With the exception of a narrow lane
of water that lay like a black ribbon
at our feet and extended to the
northward along one shore until hid
den by the intervening land, there
was nothing to be seen but ice. Even
our narrow lane of water wat closed

No sign of animal or vegetable life— Saracen?can only hope that

thusiasm^ was in raptures, and could
not sufficiently feast his eyes with
the panorama.” .
The cairn was reached at 10 o’clock
on September 3, and the provision?,
with the exception ot the bread,
which had been spoiled by moisture,
were found in a good state of preser
vation. Au important feature was
“the excellent Ted heart rum, im
proved by its additional age of six
years.” “The preServedjAustralian
beef appeared as if just prepared,
though part* of the tea, sugar and
ooffee were wet and spoiled? 2 The
party left next day on their return,
and one of the incidents of the day
was the killing of an Arctic hire of
p l uffy white hair and black tip*
bare, desolate and chaotic; ’a world
unfinished by the hand of the Cre
ator,’ and such silence! I uui sqre
that ordinary quiet would have been
an uproar compared to that which
surrounded ih. F u*ene Aram
should have been transported by
the poet to such a place to give full
play to his study of a guilty con
science.” All this while tho sun
had been gradually curtailing its
light, and on October 14, |it disap
peared for 136 days, and in describ
ing this change the diary reads:
‘‘We all rushed out at noon ur.d,
sure enough, ‘Oid Sol’ only showed
part of his disk for a few’ moments,
sprinkling the ice and snow with
si'ver and crystals, and then sank
lazily ba^k in a beautiful glow of
warm, rosy colors. It was one of
the lew glorious pictures vouchsafed
the Arctic sojourner, but one which
carried with it too many shadows
thought of the night of mouths
when went he recreant sun leaves
and is away with our absent friends
at home. Then succeeded a toft,
misty, pearly twilight, merging n
few hours later into darkness, and
each day the twilight decreased un
til a week later, Jupiter, Arcturus,
Capelin and Alpha Geminorum
twinkled dimly at midday. In a
few days they were joined by Mars,
Polaris, Vega, Castor, Pollux and
the CygLi.”
November 24 w«.s celebrated as a
“day of thanksgiving,” 1 nd although
the tl ermometer stood sixty-five
degrees below the freezing point the
principal event ot the occasion was
a series of snow shoe races, in which
the stakes were plug ar.d smoking
tobacco. These were followed by a
shooting match, the target being a
lighted candle, and a dog team race
in harness to sledge two miles and
return, “During the evening,”
the diniy continues, “the prizes
were distributed, the commander
made a few remarks and the ‘cup
that cheers* was passed around,
Thus passed the coldest if not the
least enjoyable Thanksgiving Day
ever celebrated. The first number
of ouir Arctic Mood, a newspaper en
terprise, came out on this date. Not
withstanding its modest appeal ar
it was a very _ pretentious sheet,
which the editors defined their po
litical platforms with a candor truly
commendable. They strenuously
advocated ‘he emigration of the 0 11-
nese to this country, and stated that
no “hoodlum,’ with any knowledge
of Grinnell’s Land, would fail to
thank them. The sheet became quite
popu'ar, but did not run through
many numbers. Our printing press
was the hektograph.”
During November the thermome
ter fell to —43 degrees, and the mer
cury froze at 37.9 degrees. The
mean temperature in November was
— 23 95 degrees, Jthe maximum— 47
degrees. The figures, it is claimed,
show that the month of November,
1881, was toe coldest probably ever
known, and certainly so far as re-
gaidsall previous Arctic expedi
tions,
A portion of the dairy relating to
the trip by sledge made by Sergeant
Rice, Dr. Pavy and the Esquimau is
devoted to the hardship and rigors
of the climate and the fidelity of the
dog team. Of these dogs the Sergeant
writes: “Their fortitude is remark
able, and their sagacity and intelli
gence cannot be excelled by any ca
nine of which we know. Although
their relations are generally kept up
through the medium of a twenty
foot lash, we always found them wil
ling to respond affectionately to kind
ness shown them. Pleasing to the
eye they were, too, in theii fine win
ter coats, which, while away from the
station, they kept as clean and spot
less as the^able erui ne muff of
any Broadway belle, and their bushy
t ils curled like a plume over the
back. We have frequently tried to
idethem, and on uttering the bar-
xoub sounds which I fli ttered my
self very pretty Esquimaux, have
been surprised to see every dog turn
arcund in amazement, and even
thought I could detect a sarcastic
smile on the faces of some of them.
In one of the preliminary sleJge
party expeditions to Hall's Best on
the Greenland side every m itch hut
one in the party had been exhaust

By S< ptember 23, wolves had lo

being musk oxen, A wolf weighing
eighty-five pounds and having “long
white fur, sparsely intermingled on
the tire was indeed Prometheus and
that the epistle may assist a match
that was mane in heaven as well as
one that was lighted on the desolate
~rec aland coast.”
When S<jjjcvant Rice and party reach
ed Floeburg Bench, the winter quarter**
of the Alert expedition iu 1670, 76, and
82 degrees, 27 min. north latitude, the
highest op the globe that has ev
er beeu attained by a ship, evidences of
the BritifdAjeuiMtioti of the site were
to be sevfi^HRVpry hand. «*What ap
pear to beJw> cairns,” writes Sergeant
Rice, were visible, but leaviug the dodge
at.tbe ice-foot, we ascended a alight ac
clivity and lound the first supposed cairn
to be a gravestone over the remains of
Peterson, the Danish interpreter, who
died iroui injuries received in a sledge
trip. The lonely, isolated position of
ids resting place, overlooking the frozen
Polar Sea, far from the haunts of men,
surrounded this only ordinary proof of
man’s mortality with a peculiar melan
choly interest. On the brass tablet,
which may Tfevor again be read by mor
tal eyes, was also an inscription to the
memory of George Porter, whose re
mains were-f laced In a bed of ice on the
tioe a few miles of this point. As he gaz
ed upon the boundless waste of snow
and tee that met the weary eye, wc
thought the Incription beautifully ap
propriate, “He shall wash me, and i
shall be whiter tljan snow.’ We after-
warti visit^tho cairn, an imposing
structure of stone that wili long serve as
a proof of the pluck of tho British sail

In the opinion of Scrgnnt Rice the
presence of the moon during part of the
Arctic wir.tePwas a godsend to the be-
uiglqed hvixTbortfans-. “In addition to
her splendid illuminations,” Sergeant
Rico enthusiastically writes, ‘she some
times treated us to the beautiful phe
nomena of itieck moons, only to he seen
in the Arctic regions. The displays ou
December 4yud 5 were especially inter
esting and beautiful, exhibiting prismat
ic colors, and.at times contact arches
were formed from above. The mock
moons were cut by a complete circle
which passed through them and around
the real about 22 degrees from the latter.
Onr sudden deprivation of light by the
eclipse of December 5, made us sensible
of the large gas bill we owe to Luna.
We were now in the darkest part of the
night, and my journal, as 1 thumb it ov
