Xt-b --J?- 0RE30M 8BHI1EI. JAOICsO.VVlI.LK Saturday, April 12, 1884. Gen. Sherman say emphatically tkat ke has been a Republican all bis me and that ho ia decidedly not a can didat for the Democratic nomination for preildtHt aa bad bean reported and that under no circnmatancei would be ba such a candidate, Joe MoDonald ii heroically nursing bit boom in Washington. In private conversation be concedes that the Democratic party cannot hepe for suc cess next November, but be expresses confidence that, if free trade is made the paramount issue this time, and if some cood man like himself is put up at the head of the ticket, the Demo crali will be able to capture the gov ernment in 1888 Mr. McDonald's talk reminds us of the small boy who announced, with some degree of prid that be would have three mice when be caught the mouse be was after and two more. A correspondent ef the New York World finds that there is a "solid North" of sixteen States with 153 elec toral votes, ' the six remaining North ern States making the real debatable ground." To make up the "solid North," so called, it is necessary to reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Maine to Oregon, picking up a State here and there on the way. The "olid South" is composed of compact, contiguous territory, thus far without tt break to relieve the monotony. The "solid North" is not held together as the South is made solid. There is not on of those sixteen Northernand far Western States in which the majority rules; and "the real debatable ground" is found in the North, where men are permitted to have and to vote the opinion witn a reasonable assurance that their ballots will be counted. The piny which profits by the "solid South" will not admit that there is any debat able ground in that section. "Bed Bluff Cause." The political out-look since our last issue remains about the same. The result will admit of a serious doubt even when viewed from the most fa vorable stand point. Aa we see it this is an off year all round. Light ning is liable to strike most, any where; and if it shouldn't happen to strike just where some people have calculated it will we dou'l proposo to take it to heart or be at all disappointed. Tho party whip in times past W4B good enough; but the more you pop it in these degenerate days the wrse peo pie balk. We make no note of the little scrimmage among the faithful bere on last Saturday. Before the r.ext conventiun everything will be bealed up and so nicely jointed togeth er that the Democratic bakery will go right on with the business and fill or ders for any kind of "pie" and the rank and file can choose and eat according to their tasts. If Wiggins had not fo signally failed wo should turn prophet and say that the universal insubordi nation witnessed upon every hand and in all parties forbids the idea of even remete duet at the result cf tho next contest in this county. It there is any one thing in which more than another the people at large are directly and personally interested it is in having a thoroughly competent and incorruptible judiciary. The gen eral reader must view with alarm the increasing danger to the peace and good order of society arising from the popular belief, whether well or ill- founded that modern courts and juries are too lax in the discharge of their important duties. It may be safely aid, notwitkstandiwj the modifying iufiuencies of a superior civilization incident to a dense population that difficulties and complications of every character increase and multiply in proportion to the increase of the pop ulation. And late developments abundantly prove that in this regard every 'possible precaution should be taken and every known safe-guard thrown around society in order to avoid the humiliating and disgraceful scene recently enacted in the East. People are long suffering and slow to anger but when forbearance, through the neglect or refusal of courts and juries to perform their plain duty in the protection of society and its mate rial interest, ceases to be a virture, then it is that the blind and reckless passion of revenue are aroused and lynch law, which is a constant menace to all law, is resorted to. For reas ons the most obvious and self evident the office of Judge, is not and should 'not be a political office. That func tinary with the thousand and one deli cate and important responsibilities resting upon him and inseparable from his office should be free as possible from any and all entangling political and personal prejudicial? Benefits of Oflic-Seeking. When we see the change sometimes wrought in a man who.wants an office, we are almott persuaded to encourage office seeking. It has been known to make a stingy man liberal, a cuiraudg eon affable, a morses man agreeable if not hilarious. The man who used to plod along with" bis eyes on tbe ground, lifts up bis baftdr sees everybody, grasps.the voter with effusion, shakes bands heartily, even seizing both hands gushingly. He seeks introductions to all the electors, privately learns all about their families, and inquires after their health and general welfare, asks how business is flourishing, interests himself in getting work for those out of employment, and, often, for the first time, take a deep interest in pub lic affairs. If he has never been an earnest partisan, he now becomes very zealous for the success of his party. Consults the leaders, gets everybody to express an opinion on this or that line of policy, on the availability of this or that candidate for su?h and such a position, lie gently drops hints to as piring men, that their merits have never been properly appreciated, and quietly insinuates that in certain con-' tingencies all this will be remedied. He feels around to get the judgment of his neighbors as to his capacity and merits. He takes pains to learn what other aspirants for various places are doing; what support is promised them; what combinations they have made or would like to make; whether they are going to put money into tbe fight, if so, who iii going to engineer tbe dis tribution. He finds who the party are likely to run, how popular they are; what headway they are making in getting delegates to the next conven tun. In fact, it frequently wakes up the whole m;nd to an unwonted activ ity, and enlarges the boundaries of knowledge far beyond any former pos sessions. It thus becomes a school, a high school, a very university of in struction and education to an active aspirant His zeal becomes contagious, others are aroused ta make the same attainments, and the whole community are set on fire to achieve the success of the party 'or of their particular favorites. These old fogies, who take no interest and delight in political con tests, are apt to growl about the two great frequency of our election. They deprecate the stirring up of the whole country once in four years to elect a president. They would have the term made longer, to avoid and prevent this popular clamor. They do not reflect upon the educative power of these campaigns. They do not observe the softening of the manners office seekers. They fail to see the transforming pow er of a lofty ambition on the heaits of men, the lavish recklessness of opening purses and hands to win favor, dele gates and votes. True, if beaten, some are soured, become sore-headed, criti cal, even cynical; but on the whole it gets many into the habit of being good to others, while trying to get greater good for themselves. Ten petit jurors were summoned at. Port Townsend recently by Sheriff Sheehan, but were all peremptorily discharged because there were no wo men among them. The Judge and Prosecting Attorney both held that the law had been ignored. Of anoth er lot of ten brought in, all of whom were women, eight were excused be cause they had nur&ing infants. His Honor wanted to know if all the wo men in Pert Townsend had young babies, and was informed by the Sher iff that they had. "The woods is full of them" is what a Democrat told us last Saturday at the primary meeting and we thought so too judging from the crowd present. The fight between the Neil and anti Neil factions is what brought them all out, and as no good Democrat fails to vote when an election is held the full party strength was called out. MARRIED.
