IVPresident Arthur and Postmaster General Hatton have put a stop to the resignation of postmasters and the ap* pointment of their deputies, for the simple purpose of preventing the ap pointment of Democrats until the dose of Cleveland's administration, by issuing an order that no postmaster will be allowed to resign under the present administration without speci ally important reasons. The order is jost. The Democrats are entitled to the offices and Mr. Cleveland should be allowed to fill them. Besides the pre: cedent will be a bad one for the Republicans four years from now* when the country will be on the eve of a new Republican administration. •a:. 19*1 curious and highly significant re snlt of casting a single vote is related by the Jefiersonvllle (Indiana) News: It was In 1846 in Scott connty. of this State, Just before the poll dosed it was suddenly recollected that a certain worthless fellow hadn't cast his ballot fle was banted op, a pair of boots was loaaed blm to walk to the peile In, and afterjpttlng his fifty cents and a drink of whisky he voted. His vote elected Has Davis, democrat, who went to the •tale legislature where there was a contest for United States Senator. Da vis voted fer E, O. Hannegan, giving hla ooe majority, and Hannegan's vote aaaexed Texas, which brought on the Mexican war. It is to be doubted if ever before or since .a bootless demo- «•* exercised so great an infijjeiice 1 the destinies of his country. ' The Mormons begin to under the motto. "It never rains but It pom." The Christian free school no sooner began to undermine them than the courts exhibited unusual ac llvity in securing conviction along various lines of attack, and now their hope of relief from the Democratic party is shaken. On the eighth Instant, at a meeting of the Young Men's Democratic Club of Salt .Lake City Alpbeus Toung, one of Brigham's aonsj fearlessly and scathingly denounced Mormonlsm and polygamy, showing the system no mercy. The Gentiles present say it was the richest thing In the hisory ef the anti-Mormon agita tlon. He was hissed andfsworn at, but all to no purpose. There is hope for Utah when Brlgham Youne's sons talk ym that strain.--Congregationalitt. A joint caucus of tho Republican members of the Senate and Ho use ,| at Springfield last week, nominated Gen. John A. Logan for Unlted States Sen ator by acclatnajjllit. This is but a just tribute, to an able soldier and statesman., anu one whom ihe people delight to honor. On being notified of his nomination Gen. Logan came be- fore the caucus and spoke as follows: General Logan said that for the mark of confidence he should ever feel gratitude in his heart, He should ever 1 owe a debt of gratitude lie could not pay for the many kindness shown him by the people of Illinois. He did not know that he had filled every «xpec- tation. but he had discharged every duty as faithfully as he could do. The Legislature stands a tie. Some timeR people say "we cannot elect.*' Would It >iot be as well to sav l,w« will not i«t the other side elect," This he meant by votes and not '»y revolution ary methods. He would have them consider that the other side might be defeated. The en«*my -may be shat tered and weary. How can the Demo unts win the contest? May be a long time, and if so, it Is a question of pluck and endurance. He never commanded in the field where the enemy with equal numbers got any advantage of him. [Applause.] Defeat came last fall. It is now a question whether the Republicans can stand defeat.. If the party stand together they will'win. If they break in twos and lours they are gone. If they stand firm, leaving their Quarrels behind them, the Democratic party has gained Its last victory for many years to come. He w«'uld like to be elected, and if the Republicans stood by hi on he would be. [Applause.] He closed with these words, "if I win, it shall be by no dishonorable act ol mine, nor by permittiiiy it on the part of my friends, I will win the appro bation of men of honor by an honest, straightforward course in the contest, I want no office that shall come by bargain and intrigue. If 1 should have to condone criminal offenses for tie sake of office, I would ask heaven to strike me with a thunderbolt. [Ap plause.] I thank you again for your kindness and generosity, and 1 hope in this contest, for the benefit ot the Re publican party, that our course shall, be that which shall lead us to success [Great Applause.] The Legislature Is a tie on joint bal lot, but Republicans of the whole coun try are looking to Illinois with the earnest hope that the contest may re sult in the election or Gen. Logan as Senator. His admIrablo services during the campaign and the manly spirit which he lias borne his defeat have won universal respect and sympathy. He had always impressed the people as a gallant soldier, and as a sturdy, di rect and robust political leader. But the public estimate of his intellectual strength and his sterling manhood lias been greatly enhanced by his bearing as a candidate ou the National ticket. He rose to the full demands of the National canvass and passed through its long and severe trial without a mis take. It is only a curious political wrong which makes any contest in tills State at all, Illinois is emphatically a Re publican State, not only in tbe total vote but in the individual districts. The wrong is chargeable to the system of minoritj^representation, which an exchange truly says "confuses tbe m'.nd of the voter, leads to fraud, trick ery, and deception, enlarges the repre sentative districts EO that not one man in a hundred knows the candidate for whom be is voting and finally leads to the injustice of which we complain." Upon every code of political right, with 25,000 Republican majority in the State, tbe Republicans ought to have the Senator, and the Senator ought to be Gen. John A. Logan. * Republicans everywhere will continuevto watch the straggle with earnest solicitude for his success.

From the beginning the Inter Ocean has sttod firmly by the principle of tbe Republican partv, and has, in seaion and out of seastn, coniended for "prstection to American indus try." |lt does not agree with the idea (hat the msaion ot the Republican party is finished; on the contrary it believes that, purified by adversity, it will m the near future again rise to the higher planesof thought and action and be completely restored to the confidence of the \merican people. The most important agencies in accomplishing this result will h* Republican Journals. It a reliable, staunch Republican newspaper was important when the Republican p&tty was in power, it is doubly so no.v that the Democracy centrel the National Government. i he Ii ter Ocean will in ttie future as in the jast be the medium through which the best Republican thought w^U be given to the peo ple. It will voice the convictions of advanced Republicans without teeing unfair even te Bourbon Democrats. It will be aggressively Republican without being bitterly partisan, and will give as much attention to 'be affairs of Clevelands administration as it weald Have given to the admin titration of Jar. Blalae had he been elected, With an Associated Press franchise, with special wires reaching to N- w York and Washington, with special cirres- pondents in all important points ef thecenn- try, the Inter Ocean will use its facilities tor collecting news without fear or taver, an I so far as governmental afftirc or party move* ments are concerned will give a fuller record than any other paper.
