When Congressman Cha mp Clark ohairman of the St, Kouis convention and chief notifier of Judge Parker at Esopus, threatened to carve with a jacknife an auditor at the JefferBonville Chautauqua Assembly who entered a denial to his statement that the Republican party “ruled by assassination," he timply displayed the spirit of the Vardamans, the Tillmans, the Jack Chinns and the others who lead the Democratic party in the South. If a negro in the portion of the co ntry dominated by this leader ship had pklled a razor •ns crowd of five thousand people with a threat to kill someone, it would have been said of him that his action showed the barbarous in* atinots of a bestial breed, and the offender would have become the tha central figure in a summary barbecue, with incidental lopping off of fingers, ears, eto. But as this particular Demaoratio leader betrayed his crimnal instincts before a Northern audience be was permitted to leave the plaoe with his mouth and bis jackknife open, We presume the sort of performance in which Champ -Clark engaged is called “chivalry’’ in parts of Kentuoky and Missouri, hat up hers we still treat the symp. toms with the county jail, the rookpile, tin reformatory and the state prison.
