Grant Don't Inspire any Enthu-

siasm in their Section.
We made inquiry of Republican on
visit to the city yesterday from neighbor-
ing city, whether many persons had gone
from his city to Chicago to witness the
nomination of General GRANT for Presi-
dent. He replied that not one had done so.
Said he:
1.-The fact is, General GRANT don't inspire
any enthusiasm as a Presidential candi-
date. Besides, money is scarce and times
are hard, and our folks are generally
coming to- the conclusion that change of
parties in the administration of the Federal
Government is necessary to lift the coun-
try out of its present difficulties"
Shortly after this conversation, we met
another Republican, who is a gentleman of
Intelligence and has been rather an active
worker in that party, and we told him that
the NeW York Herald had in the morning
given publicity to Washington dispatch,
stating that General GRANT had written
letter declining to be the Republican can
didate for President. He expressed the
hope that this was so, and that the Conven-
ton would nominate General GEORGE FL.
THOMAS (not ad interim THoMAs) This
nomination, he claimed, would inspire ten
fold more enthusiasm than would that OF
General GRANT. 1t is due to say, that he
is not an enthusiastic admirer of GRANT,
WADE and vengeance, though he seemed
sufficiently deluded to suppose that the
Chicago nominees, be they whom they may,
will be elected. These men represent the
feelings of the Republicans in their re-
spective localities, it is true but evidently
similar feelings pervade the entire coun-

'New Deaf and Dumb Asylum" That's
because it can't do it successfully. 1t is but
a very short time since the Journal berated
the Democrats in the General Assembly for
their niggardly appropriations for the be-

There was a special election for Council
MIN in the First Ward of Portsmouth on
Tuesday of last week, and the Democratic
candidate for Councilman elected by two
hundred and four majority. At the April
election, the Democrats carried the Ward

This makes the gain one hundred and
sixty-eight in the Democratic majority

Democracy is onward and upward.
