Falstaff said if he was not witty him.
self he was the cause of wit in others.
Gen. GRANTS silence is the cause of a
vast deal. of talk in the newspaper
particularly in those unfavorable to his
nomination for the Presidency. We
have no doubt that Gen. GRANT will
early enough, "bresk the golden ST.
lence." But why pretend that he is
not as good Republican as CHASE or
any other MANI If his acts have not
spoken for him, nothing he could utter
with his pen or tongue would avail to
set him up in the opinions of the loyal
people of the country. A recent let
ter writer ont his point says, his great mil
tary success, good sense as man, mag
nanimity as soldier and administra-
tive ability, taken with an unquestioned
adherence TO the reconstruction policy
of Congress, won all hearts. In his let
ter to JOHNSON he sustained General
HOWARD in his work with the Freed
men. He praised STANTON when the
President sought to degrade him. He
upheld SIckLEs and SHERIDAN, while
on duty in the work of n radical Con
gress. "His acts are trumpet-tongued
for loyalty and Justice"

Much Ado About Nothing.

Considerable sensation has been
caused by disqualification of letter pur-
porting to be written by Attorney Gen
eral Stanberry, prenouncing the extra
sessions of the FoEtieth Gong1ess uncop-
stitutional. As President johnson had
recognized their constitutionality by
signing bills passed in them, this public
and deliberate expression of opinion
from member Of his Cabinet seemed
inexpicable. 1t now turns out that
Mr.. Stsnberry did not write the letter
at all, but that it is the production Of
some anonymous scribbler, who signed
the initials "H. s." The newspapers OF
Washington and New York jumped al
the conclusion that these mysterious
letters stood for "Henry Stanberry" and
forthwith copied the letter, afixing to
it the fgll name of the Attorney Gen.
eral. But Mr.. Stanberry has spoiled
the sensation by an explicit repndiation
not only of the letter but of the senti.
ments expressed therein.

A Convention of Manufacture
eF6.

A proposition has been made by
some of the leading manufacturers of
the West to hold a National Conven
ton of Manufacturers, of all classes, at
Cleveland, on Wednesday, December
18th, the object of which, will be to
form plans to secure the early repeal
of Internal Taxes on all manufactures
and productions, only excepting luxur-
les. This step is taken to meet wide
desire for the relief of our productive
industry from heavy burdens which
seem wholly unnecessary. This relief
can be obtained, it is thought, by a
sinnpifcatioR of the tax list and such
other measures as the Convention will
be able to suggest.
Fremont has good number of man.
ufacturing establishments and is more
deeply interested in the encouragement
of the manufacturing interest than any
city in Northern Ohio, and ought to be
well represented at the Convention.
We suggest meeting Of our manufac-
turers at an early day for the appoint
ment of delegates,

Turning Tail.

The Cleveland Leader insists tha
every State included in the list it pub
lished few days ago can be carried
for CHASE for President sunless scared
Republicans, like our friends of the
journal turn tail upon the Republi
''can party, and stampede for an ex.
'pediency candidate, not knowing
"whether he is Republican or Dem.
'socrat"
The fact that the Leader advocates
CHASE and opposes GRANT is an indica.
ton that CHASE won't get the nomina.
ton. The Leader opposed Senator
SIERMAN's election and advocated
ScHENCK's with a vehemence that GEO.
ALFRED TOWNSEND called splendid; yet
SHERMAN was elected. The Leader al
so was pretty squarely against the NOM
ination of MIR. SPALDIEG as Congress
man from the 10th District, yet, if we
remember rightly, Mr.. SPALD1NG was
nominated and elected. The Leader
was for and against Cox, and finally for
Cox against everybody else as the Re-
publican candidate for Governor last
summer, but Gen. HAYES was nomin-
ated and elected. In all these cases the
Leader turned tail upon the Republican
majority and stampeded to unsuccess-
full candidates. When we have had
the experience Of our city cotemporary
we shall probably be able to perform
that little gyration gracefully.

LETTER FROM ELMORE.
EIMnRE Nnv Ii ISh1

GLMOhE NOV ID lOOds
Editors Jowrnal.-Our little town wss
visited this morning by another of those
heavy fires which have swept along Rice
Street, over almost all the ground between
Toledo Street and the Railroad.
The fire originated, uis time no one
knows how, in the rear of Grocery Store
owned by jacob StolI.
There had been a jovial party there till
late Monday evening, drinking lager" and
singing sougs,-had adjourned, just before
the discovery of the fire, to the saloon o.
THO. HELBINe, second door west, to finish
the nights entertainment, as SToLL had
probably sold short on "lager" and could no
longer supply the heavy demand. About
l214 A. N. the cry of fire was raised, and
although the citizens generally were on the
spot it was found impossible TO stay, or even
check the devouring flames, much less ex-
tinguish them. The brick building of l..
B. MYERS kept the fire from spreading west
ward, but to the east there was nothing but
wooden buildings except the brick building
of A. W. LUCKY, Esq, which had wooden
addition attached TO it. The flames spread
eastward taking in their course the Grocery
Store of PHILLIP slime, the Cabinet Shop Of
@. EXERT, the Boot and Shoe Store of KRor-
zER d LELAND, and the Drug Store of WIN.
CALDWELL & Son. Toledo Street, t,barred its
further progress. By much exertion the
dwelling of F. WILSON was saved from
burning. The buildings on the opposite
side of Rite Street from the fire, were in
great danger, but by free application of
water were saved.
The stocks were nearly all removed from
the buildings, but in a more or less damag-
ed condition.
The greater part of the loss is covered by
insurance. The almost unanimous verdict
is that whisky was The cause of the fire.

A False RenOrf,

to Grant, have given prominent place
to self-evident cansrd from Washing.
ton, which represents Gen. GRANT as
declaring to President JOHNSON that
"this is white mans government, and
"none but white men should have a
"voice in it." The ear-marks of lie
are jackassically palpable on the report,
and the Republican papers that pretend
to believe it are over anxious to show
their gullibility-or meanness.
