Blair is going to stump Ohio. And
Ohio is going to stump Blair-next No
Vember.
The Boston Posi- calls Seymour and Blair
the coming men," After November they
will be the departed men.
Many Of the Republicans think Frank
Blair an empty fellow. Whenever we
have seen him he has been very full.
Blair's worst enemy is the bottle. Ink
or whisky-it makes no difference. Either
| will ruin him.
Horatio Seymour had middle name
-Nelson-which has passed into OBJ
lision. The other two will follow it about
November 4.
Was it not well, asks the Cincinnati
hTonicle, that q Grayback convention
should adopt a Greenback platform and
nominate a Holdback candidate with a
Turnback asso ciate?
Hancock says he never sought the
doubtful honor of the Presidency. He
is not the first fox who pronounced the
grapes be couldn't reach "dcerbG."
Frank Blair complains because the Re-
publicans have put him under foot. In
stead of putting him under foot. they
ought to have put foot under him.
The Columbus Journal says: The last
act O the rebels before the war was to vote
the Democratic ticket. Tue first act of the
rebels alter the war was te vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. AS there was but one step
from Democracy into rebellion, there was
bat one step from rebellion back into De-,
moeracy. e
The World charges to Republican misrule
the Sll 100000 month the government is
paying for an army. Who but the World
and its friends, Wade Hampton, General
Forrest, Governor Vance d Co. are respon-
sible not only for this great outlay, but for
all the blood and treasure poured out to
save the Union?
N. B. Forrest wants to interest himself in
paper in Memphis, Tennessee but being
without education or money he does not
know what step to take. Perhaps il would
he well for him to step of the roof of the
Gayoso House.
A partially reconstructed South Caro-
linian writes to Governor Scott that the
citizens Of the State are waiting to witness
the lust rewardn of all loyal men. and
says: Receive these warnings in time.
Your negro militia will not keep our pee
pie from killing them fast enough
The Knoxville Whig thus describes a
Tennessee rowdy: He had no brains,
never read book in his life, and didn't
even read the current news of the day,
His only ambition was to bully and be
pointed to as the most dangerous man in
the community"
AMoblle paper says that since the nomin-
alton Of Seymour and Blair the North and
South have shaken hands. The hands of
Democrats are addicted to shaking. partic-
ularly at an early hour in the morning.
At least half of the Democratic party in
West Virginia were greatly disappointed
by the nomination of Seymour. They were
Chase nren.- They like the man on account
Of old associations. 1t has a home-like
sound for them. They became acquainted
with it in Columbus, Ohio.
A private letter from the interior of New
York says:
II find here number of old Democrats
going for Grant, though they voted for
| Mcclellan in 81 Seymour does not please
the people here, and Blair is still worse.
The Richmond Examiner apprehends
bloodshed. IL says: "The South wants
peace, and if it is now to be required to
wade through a sea of blood to reach it,
the sooner commenced the sooner ended.
| Our white allies in Maryland and Ken
tucky, not to mention States further North,
may be relied on for assistance if we need
| it."
The Louisville Courier says Frank Blair
"goes into the contest with his principles
painted upon bis palms and blazoned on
bis brow" He must look like a Comanehe
warrior. Blair, with hands and face ta-
tooed in strange devices, and Grant, in full
suit of iron as mailed WARRIOR" will
afford pretty pair of spectacles contest
ing for the championship of America.
The Grand Rapids Eagle has this gMr.
-, prominent member of the anti-War
Democracy, of this city, accosted one of
our stanch Republican citizens in the
street, a short time ago, with Well, you
have nominated Grant, have you ? Yes
sir, we have; what then p Then we will
beat him. said Mr.. --. You never did,
was the quick reply "
The New York Times says it is perfectly
natural that Jefferson Davis should anx-
iOusy desire the election of Horatio Sey-
mour to the Presidency. The event would
| justify, in great measure, the career of
Davis, and, as Governor Vance says, would
help TO give the Confederacy what it fought
for.
Said Seymour in a public speech at
Tweddle hall at the breaking out of the
rebellion "Let Us see if successful CO.
ercion by the North is less revolutionary
than successful secession by the South y
Were these the words OF loyal man and
patriotic citizen?'
The New York Citizen calls Vance and
Wise and the rest Of the candid Democrats
'fools" for injuring the Democratic party
by their much speaking. Il calls Vance a
fool because he predicts that the election
Of Seymour and Blair win be a triumph Of
the "lost cause" 1t calls Wise fool be-
cause be says that the Southern people do
not regard secession and slavery as dead.
The Citizen is undoubtedly right. The fact
that they are fools accounts for their speak
ing the truth.
The Augusta (Ga) CtroNicle is very an
gry at the miserable trucking to the Rad,
icai behestsr shown in the adoption By the
Georgia Legislature of the Constitutional
amendment. 1t adds: ''The effect Of this
action by the Legislature must be damag-
ing to the prospects of Seymour and Blair.
1t will require of all the good men In the G
South the most energetic and Jealous action
to retrieve the losses which will be sus-
tanned by this worse than silly legislation"
General Blair, the Democratic candidate
for President, said in his Omaha
speech the other day that it had always
been the policy of the Democratic party
