Hishbrook was appointed ty the President collector of reve- nue, because of his connection with what the Missouri delegation con- sidered a democratic journal. Since that paper has proven so palpably false to the democratic party in its éceatment of a party nominee, the Missouri senators, backed by the ‘Dalance of the delegation, should see that Hashbrook finds the same 4» eatment as the republicans in office. — er ‘The democratic party in Bates ounty is as strong or stronger than itever was and demonstrated that fact by the large majority it gave the ticket. The vote on shenff is no indication that the party is growing weaker, but simply shows that an unprecedented and bitter personal warfare was made upon Mr. Glaze_ book, and many good democrats were fooled by the hue and cry of the republican party and came to drive the wolt from the fold when mo wolt was nigh. The next time th.s crv will be unheeded, for they _ wil not be deceived twice. WILL THEY OONTEST?

Or it they try the case on the legality ot individual voters, do they think for a moment that all the illegal votes were cast on one side, and that the democrats will remain quiet and let returns be overhauled to discover such votes on the demo- cratic side without making an effort to discover the same on the othe side, and it would be extremely funny it in a voting precinct the size ot Rich Hill, with the mining and other floating element, and consider to him have elected, were not cast that would not stand the test of the cold scrutiny of the law. | Mr. Glazebrook was tairly and legally elected to the office of sheriff ; it we did not believe he would be the I: Was, we ast to urge his claims, but would say, as we have always said, let the voice of the majority of But the poll books that gave Mr. Glazebrook the people reign soverign, his majority proper pes signed and certified to their correct- were returned to custodian in good ness by the judges and elerks of election, and such returns show that Mr. Glazebrook has received a majority of one, which 1 y ea titles him to the Office the same as if he hac received ten thousand, and he should be installed, as be will be.

This is all there 1s in it, and we do not be- lieve the best republicans will want to open up such a contest. it Mr. Burch had received the majority our voice would have been raised against hounding him with any such pro- ceedings, but we would have been in tavor of sustaining him in that offce to which the suffrage ot his people had raised him. No, the best men in both parties do not want acontest. The judges and clerks were the proper umpires and they have decided the matter. Now let us throw aside politics and go tu work, and if a few individuals want to keep up a tuss simply to satisfy personal interests they should be squelched. But:f nothing will do but a contest, why let it come, but we warn you the democracy will sustain its regularly elected officer tothe bitter end, be that what it may. And it it is opened up it must be 1n its entirety. SSS Our friend Gibbens, of the Adrian Register, seems to be a little soured and spitetul at the Times. But then, the poor boy has enough to make him spiteful and get his liver all out of fix, but he appears to have about all he can hold down in the person of Parson Sly. Our advise to him is to get one elephant off his hands before contracting new difficulties. _— A good democrat does not bold back and see his party defeated, and then come forward and say, ‘I told | you so; it you had let me or my friends work the convention, we would have pulled the ticket through."’ Bat the true and manly | democrat is he w front and works fe whether ic jins the nowmriations « comes to the Is succe: sful | si horse.’’ But Wednesday, will be sent to any iduress | Money on the ob tail e H not on the legality of the election | every | | ing the anxiety ot Mr. Burch’s triends | some votes with | summanily ! s party success | in control- | W.

This is the last term of Judge Gantt's court, and we opine that no man ever retired trom public office with the confidence and esteem of his constituency more fully than he. He returns the office back into the hands ot the people, who honored him s:x years ago, unsullie! by a single act of his, but elevated to a j purer and a higher plane by his just and impartial rulings and high con- of which he always meted out without fear or favor. ception law and justice, | Judge Gantt, in completing has the proud consciousness that he has done his this term of office, | whole duty as he understood it; ; one could have done more.

In the very nature of things popular torms of government are sorely subject to the dangers which necessarily arise from the changing moods of the populace. Our public men—presidents and law-givers and judges—are subject as well to the caprice as the criti- cism ot the masses. In defeat of Coli. Morrison in Illinois and the narrow escape of Speaker Carlise in Kentucky, we are forcibly reminded that the most devoted patriotism and exalted talent are not untrequently overlooked by the voters ot the ideal Republic.
