When the respective leaders, Mr.
Randall and Mr. Carlisle, shall con

speedily recognise the fact
made apparent by Congressional
elections, that the former has been

In this consists the safety of the
qpuntry.
Casting aside the boasts and claims
of speakers and presses, which can
but serve a temporary purpose, the
great fact still stands, that the battle
is to be fought out by the two great
parties, and victory will rightfully be
long to one or the other.
And dismissin g the disappointment
of long cherished hopes, that may, by
the chances of battle, come to our peo
ple, we cannot see that the country
will be severely shocked, no matter
upon which side the majority of ballots
may be cast. Divided by party issues,
estranged by sectional quarrels and
jealousies, we are still Americans,
and there is yet a great and common
destiny for us.

The Close of the Conteet,
A few more days of marching, coun

flashing of torches, and the verdict 6i
the American people as to the fiercest
political contest known to them will
have been rendered. That verdict baa
boon practically made up. The work
for this week is not expected to make
votes, hut rather to enthuse partisans
and to tyold the opposing lines steady,
Everywhere, oven at the South, where
the people have t>ecn merely interested

the close of a canpaign marked by
bitterness, frauds, scandals and vio

It ia a almme anil reproach to the intel

Tho Doubtful 8tataa.
The campaign from now until No
vember 4th will be hottest in the so-
called doubtful States, Indiana, New
Jersey, New York and Connecticut. It
is legitimate to argue from the known
to the unknown, to consider the proba
ble result in the light of a result al
ready obtained, if there is any similar
ity in the premises.
Wherein does the campaign of 1884
differ from that of 1880?
Tlten, as now, the Democratic plan
oi attack led to fierce assaults upon the
record of the Republican party and its
candidates. In this tbe Democrats
had to draw upon, the bitter condem
nation of those candidates already
printed and on file in Republican jour
nals ; and the apathy and treachery of
the stalwart division of that party to
assist them; also the open records of
Congress.
Titen, as now, the Democratic party
suffered the opposite side to use the
tariff as a leading card, and offered but
little defense on this line when it went
into the industrial States and appealed
to the manufacturing and labor inter
ests. We ask where is the difference
between the two campaigns?
Here is the only difference, and no
sensible man doubts it:
Of the two leaders whom tho Repub
licans followed to victory in 1880, it
may be said that one had the instincts
of a sneak thief, and was at liberty on
ly because the law and morals of the
country were paralyzed. The other
had Ireen kicked out of office by even a
Republican administration for person
al and official corruption.
Of the two men whom the Demo
crats followed to disaster in 1880, it
may be said that one was a successful
and popular Union general; a man of
unblemished reputation. The other
was a distinguished ex-Governor and
ex-Congresaman from a doubtful State
pure and popular.
Of the two men who now lead the
Republicans it may he said that one
has tho instincts of a highwayman and
is in pablic life now by reason of his
unscrupulous methods and undoubted
skill. The other is a Union general.
Of the two men who now lead the
Democratic party it may he said that
one has no national reputation either
as soldier or statesman. The other ia
a distinguished ex-Governor and ex-
Congresaman from a doubtful State,
pure ami popular.
The Partisan Press.
The New York Journal of Commerce
holds up to scorn the partisan editor.
The article is worth reading at this
time and is here produced:
Partisan editors must sometime! wish that
all files of their papers except those under
their own locks and keys were destroyed. The
old law- maxim warns us that "written things
remain." But things printed are still more
likely to turn up as accusers, for there may be
many copies of them extant. Some of tho
savage denunciations of Presideutlal candi
dates now published have been discovered In
the back files ot papers which are now ex
tolling those candidates as models
of wisdom, publlc-spirttoduess and integ-
rit*. If it were not so saddening it would
be amusing to contrast the demagogue
and knave of three or four years ago with the
patriot and salut of the present day—the orlg.
Inal of the two portraits being tho same man.
When twocolumus ol extracts from the same
paper of old and reeout dates are put side by
side, they remind one ol the pictures in patent
medicine advertisements headed "Before"
and "After." One picture is that of a physical
wreck. The other is that of the same person
made fat and hearty by the use of a few hot-
ties of patent elixir. The vendor of quack
medicines taxes our credulity when he asks
to believe in his sudden and com-
plete cures. Tho partisan editor taxes
loss when he claims that a
politician has changed from black to
white within a few years. Of course the edi
tor himself does not claim this In so many
words. Hla business now is to praise to the
skies the man whom he then denounced as
totally unfit for a public trust. No pressure
can force the partisan journalist Into an ad-
mission of his Inconsistency. He never quotes
from hts own paper to show that he is now
eating his own words. The rack could not
wringthat from him. It is the editor ou the
other side who ransacks tho files of his con-
temporary. This editor In turn Is subjected
to the operation. His files are Inspected
with a mtscroscope, and It would be mar-
vcllous . If in some corner of some issue
of his sbeet could not be found some re-
mark dl-paraging to the character of the man
he Is now supporting for the Presidency,
these cases the same writer ol two diametri.
cally opposite opinions of the same person
could not be giving his honest opinion CD tell
ing the exact truth at both times. Shall we
believe what he said then or what he says
now? Wo do not undertake to answer this
question. Readers must Judgo for themselves,
relying upon tbetrown sources of information
with regard to the general fitness of candi
dates Tho partisan editor can never be
trusted to enlighten them. He Is couvlcted of
Inconsistency out of his own inkstand.
It is difficult to conceive a better
description of a rapidly lessening class
of papers. The plain, unvarnished
language of the Journal of Commerce
and the sentiment it utters are worthy
of a paper whose manly, straightfor-
warl course has made it the leading
authority in this country.
The journal that submits to he made
purely partisan; that admits that black
is not black and white not white upon
the command of men who have only
personal ends in view, is of no value to
any man nor to the section that sup
ports it. How an intelligent, educated
person can consent to patronize
a journal which he knows will chango
its convictions when commanded,deny
its own assertions, and advocate that
which it knows to be venal anil dis
honest Is beyond our understanding.
How often in Georgia have tbe peo
ple seen these changes effected by the
magic wand of one in power; have
soon “policies" abandoned without ex
planation, and corrupt leadership
swallowed without effort by so-called
“journals”? The sycophancy and
fawning of these journalistic parodies
are sufficient almost to make the pro-
fesaion an evil,in the public eye.
If anyone desires to realize what ir
responsible journalism may effect, let
him bear In mind that all the rascality
accomplished in Georgia since Bullock’s
administration, was made poaaible by
the acquiescence of a partisan press.
If half a dozen journals had stood forth
and fearlessly denounced corruption,

The Polygamous Mormon In a Tight
Place.
Quite recently the United States Court
for the Territory of Utah has been engag

that they don’t know or cau’t remember.
Elders Cannon and Taylor have testified
that no marriage records were kept in the
temple, and that they knew of no second
marriage in the case at bar.
The Mormons are greatly excited and
are loud in their threats against those
whom they term persecutors under the
cover of law.
The case of Clawson resulted in a mis
trial, and the judge erdered that he be
immediately arraigned again. This has
been done, and some positive proof has
been elicited. A Salt Lake dispatch says:

A few days ago a Detroit wife was
reading a newspaper article which
tickled her almost to death. It wa«
titled: “How to keep your husband at
home,” and it was about the Troy wife
who turned tho sitting-room into a sa
loon and thus wedded her husband t,
his home and kept him in nights This
Detroit wife cackled and grinned, and
cackled again, and vowed that she’d
follow the plan to the last detail. That

This, together with testimony already
taken and snch a charge as United 8tates
judges usually give, should bring a verdict
of guilty. But there is another possible and
probabl difficulty. It has been time and
time again demonstrated that a law cannot
be enforced as against tbe weight of public
opinion. If the jnrymen sympathize with
the Mormons, it is more than likely that
they will disregard their oaths and the
charge of tbe court, and that Clawson will
be acquitted
New York QHr the Real Battle Ground!
The most sanguine and enthusiastic
Cleveland man must admit that the city
of New York is to be the real battle ground
on Tuesday next. The Democratic Presi
dential ticket, according to the present
outlook, must carry the city ol New York
by a heavy majority tn order to carry tho
State. The contest at that point, so far
from being abandoned, is raging with un
exampled fury. Blaine is being entertained
at a dinner, by some ot the leading men
of that city. This movement is altogether
polltlca', the social side being entirely sec
ondary. Cleveland has been there several
times recently, reviewing the militia on
tbe last occasion, and the different political
headquarters are located at that point.
Tbe State of New York la Republican, and
the Democratic majorities of the cities of
Brooklyn and New York are relied upon
to overbalance the vote elsewhere.
The hopes of Democratic aucceaa are do
pendent upon heavy majorities in New
York and Brooklyn, and heavy majorltlea
do not often come except to earnest and
harmonious party organizations. With
the electoral vote of New York State, the

The chiet apprehension felt as to a
change in the general government here
and elsewhere haa arisen from the

who receive annually *312,000,000 in

their support without a distinct, un
ambiguous and satisfactory declaration
on the tariff question. This is not an
assumption. It is the logic ot history.
It is a fact which haa refused to be hid

Neither of tiie two great parties are
exactly agreed npon this point, bnt the

And this wrangle most continue (or

Cleveland, while the policy of protec

election of Blaine. But beyond the
unsettling ot values, the stagnation
of business and j>ostib!y bankruptcy in

off Republican corruption in favor of a
party that coaid be controlled by its
