The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
New York ITnteS and New York Conn
merciGG AdUertiSeI., the leading Johnson
organs OF New York last year, have
declared for the Republican State tick
ct nominated at Syracuse. Johnson
has not single newspaper supporter
left iu New York outside the Demo.
cratic party, and scarcely one in it.
The New York Times. having taken
up its position in the "half-way house, !"
gives the following good advice to the
two great parties:
SIT will not do for the Democrats to
presume too far upon the symptoms
of reaction which they have Observed
in the public mind; nor will 10 be any
wiser for the Republicans to underrate
them or to misunderstood their real
meaning"
What will the President do If Con-
gress tries to suspend him pending
Impeachment? Here is the answer his
organ gives -g-
ain repect to what the President
would do if approached in either of
these directions we have not thought it
suppose that he would not willingly
submit to the degradation of the Exec
utiys Office thus, however he might feel
disposed to make any personal sacri-
flee to maintain public harmony.'-

Gen. Don Piatt is making political
speeches in Ohio. In Cincinnati he
met some opposition from the crowd,
and here is specimen Of the manner
in which he faced it: ....... ..-,
"In looking at you and your party
now, lam reminded of Il lot OF old blind
horses in a bark mill. Did you ever
see themP I have. The nose of one
is at the tail OF the other, and they 20
round aud round together, go 1t strong
and go 1t blind, not caring - wheth-
er they grind bark or birthstone, so
that they get their oats. That's what
you are doing. You have your
noses at the tail of some leader; and
Wash McLain stands with his gad in
his hand whipping you round and
round. You DONE care who your cam
didate is. If Mclean would go into
the Thirteenth ward and pick out
nigger and tell you to vote for him you
would have to do so. That's just your
condition. [Groans and howls.l Yes,

The Pittsburgh EVenimg Advocdte,

ing Glasses, speaks as follows OF the
present ''Democratic" party:
1.-THE editor OF the Pittsburgh Post,
after long life of hostility to the la
boring classes, and, being an aspirant
for office now, is very anxious that
some OF them should vote for him. He
is engaged in the uphill business of
proving that his old hobby, the Dem
ocratic party is u friend of the work
ingmen. The truth is, that the sO-called
Democratic party has never put the
laboring classes under the slightest OBJ
legation to it. 1t has been as false in
practice as IL is false in name. The
'Democraticf party lacks only the
pOIgeT 10 do allthe bad things that the
Post is so fond of ascribing to the poll |
ticians of the dominant party. The
workingmen, however, can't be used
for the purpose of giving itthat power
Speaking of young John Quincy
Adams, the Democratic nominee for
Governor of ofMassachusetts, the Spring
field Republican of October . says:
He has not u drop OF party demo |
cratic blood in his veins, as the Vener- |
able Buchanan once DoHsted that he |
had not; born IA Wing and bred Re- |

lican party, and we supposed it was |
more Just 10 call him Johnson or |
Seward Republican than Democrat.
About the platform the same paper
says
The resolutions are cheap flap.doodle,
made TO catch silly Fenians and sillier
license law men, weak old fogies, and |
wicked swindlers who are bent on con- |
irving some way ofgetting rid of their .
debts besides paying them.
The following paragraph is from the
New York Times: .a
"The public doubtless understands
the reason of the tremendous pressure
brought TO bear upon the Government
at Washington to control appointments
in the Internal Revenue service. The
salary, of these places is about $500;
but theyare pursued with an eagerness
taat shows their real value to be rated
at as many thousands. 1t is very we'll
understood that sharp Collector can
make the place worth 100000 a year,
and the sharpest men are therefore the
most earnest applicants. This very
fact or an intense anxiety for the place
may be very safely taken ss conclusive
proof that the applicant is unflt for it,"
