The pennsl lyania October Elerti0n---The Re

YInEinIian

The decentralization Of the party pres. is
the first and the worst of the inevitable
evils attending Presidential agitation
We have seen much Of this in our long
and entiul experience in American pol
itcs, nut nothing quite so grovelling, base
and blind as the scandalous personalities
oi some Of the party journals Of the pres
ent day. The republican papers, we must
admit, since our late admonitions upon
the subject, have materially improved in
their tactics against General Mcclellan !:
but. on the other hand, his most Jealous
organs, inilamcd by their own folly, are
fast approaching the condition. Of ra ing
lunatIcs.
We remember how it shocked the moral
sense of the American people when, in the
DAYS of Genera, jackson, that old hero OF
the Union was savageiv assaile3 IN some
base illusions to his deceased wife by Mr..
harles King of the New \ ork AmericqH.
who quoted Latin poetry on the occasion,

not cured him OF his Unborn incIinations

course now pursued by the reck ess Bohe

| We would also admonish Mr. Belmont,
/ first engineer of the democratic party. that
some other reforms in this working ma
! chinery are needed 20 secure success, or
a show of success. to his Presidential
ticket. For instance, it is generally un-

are making but little progress towards
the reco cry of the ground they lost in

answer. The popular enthusiasm which
before the Chicago Convention, was ava

Mcclellan, has been extlnguished by 1t
association with the name OF Pendleton
