Belknap's Political Record.
From (he Cfiicago Tribune, Ind.
The Chicago Timet myn:
"Of course the Tribune dosen't ex
pect Its readers to believe this KtulR
'Belknap always was a Democrat,
went into the war one, and came out
one was promoted when one, and was
one when he fell, lint we feel as bit
terly over the disgraceful cause of that
fall as if he had been born and lived a
Republican."
The Tribune expects its readers to
believe just precisely this 'stuff," be
cause it is the truth. In characteriz
ing Belknap's bribery as a national
disgrace, the Tribune but gave expres
sion to the profound public sense of
the shame it brought upon the whole
country. Thereat up start the journ
alistic spokesmen and defenders of the
Democratic party; and in their chop
logic fashion, assuming that Belknap
was a bribe-taker because he was a
Republican, deduce that the great Re
publican party is a sharer in his guilt,
and that it is season for Republicans to
hide their facts for very shame sake,
The Tribune has not been in the habit
of assuming that because a man was a
Democrut he was necessarily a thief
and blackmailer; and notwithstuiul
ing the record of the Tweeds, Sween
eys, Conollys, Ingersolls. Cardozas,
Barnards, Schumnkers, Floyds, and
Thompsons, the honest and decent
men of that party can hardly be con
sidered as sharers in their infuniy.
Since, however, that style cf argu
ment is being applied by the Deinc
cratic press in the Belknap case, it is
perhaps well that the Democracy
should enjoy the full benefit of all
that can be made out of it. That they
can only do, when it is kept in mind,
as is the fact, that Belknap entered
public life a Democrat, and continued
a Democrat up to and during the time
he was filling his pockets with official
bribes. About twenty years ago he
made his advent in Iowa, as his fel
lowtonsmcn at Keokuk bear witness,
as an active local Democratic poilti
cian, and as such was elected to the
Legislature. During his term of of
fice as a Democratic member of the
Iowa Legislature wus it that the first
insight into true inwardness of the
man was afforded by his embezzle
ment of the funds of clients, Intrusted
to him as a lawyer, and which his
law partner in practice had to make
good. Shortly after the close of his
legislative term the Democratic rebel
lion broke cut, and he entered the
army, where distinguished himself by
his gallantry and bravery, which se
cured his rupid promotion and enlis
ted the friendship and esteem of Gen
eral Grant, Ilis brilliant personal
daring, one of the most notable illus-
trations of which was his jumping
Into the trenches held by the Confed
erate during the fight at Atlanta,
collaring a rebel officer, and under
tire drugging him back iuto the Union
lines a prisoner, gave him additional
prestige.
After the war he remained a Demo
erat, and as such, by Andy Johnson
was appointed Revenue Collector for
the Keokuk district, in which office,
out of consideration for his military
services, he was continued by Fresi
aent cuunt. Ji-ven then rumors,
whether well or ill founded, were rife
as to his connection witli whisky
rings, but none of these reached
Washington. When, by the death of
the lamented 'Secretary Rawlins, the
President lost one the most sugacious
of his Cabinet advisers and the nation
the services of one of the ablest and
purest of men, Gen. Belknap was" ap
pointed nis successor, without any
consultation with leading Republi
cans of Iowa or elsewhere. The selee
tion of General Belknap, a Democrat,
eaused a good deal of Ill-feeling in Re
publican circles at the time, and was
met with no friendly comment. But
the anger of the Republicans were oil
iivtime, ntt they became reconciled
to this eccentric appointment by the
report of the brilliant record he hod
made in the war and the t-onsideable
ability he was said to possess Up to
thut time Belknap had continued a
Democrat, though a War-Democrat,
and there is no evidence that at any
time since he has voied the Republi
can ticket or changed his political
principles.
As it now appears, he began by be
traying the coniidence of the Republi
can President, and was active chiefly
as a bribe-taker, continuing as such
until exposure followed and he re
signed in disgrace, and through sup
pression of the real fact?, procured ac
ceptance of his resignation. Such, in
brief, is his political record: A Demo
crat and embezzler before the war;
then, the one redeeming feature of it
all, a War-Democrat and a brave
soldier, next, a Johnson Democrat
and office-holder vaguely suspected of
being a member of the Whisky Ring;
and from thence twnsf erred to the
Cabinet, through a freak of Executive
admiration of his galantry, t become
a bribe-taker.
Scientists are not agreed as to
- whether It was a shower of butchered
cows or frogs they were favored with
in Kentucky last week. A facetious
journalist suggests that the flesh-fall
was from a flock cf spirits who got
foiling so much with materializing
that the couldn't get all of themselves
back Into the spirit state before their
toes and fingers fell of. Or might
there have bean, be asks a prise fight
In the moon and some fellow got
knocked clean over the side of the
