We must Work 10 Win.

Republicans everywhere says the Press,
should understand that, bright as the pros
pect is, they must work to win. There is
no poison so fatal to party as over conf
dence. Now is the time for the Republi-
cans to appeal to their Democratic friends
and neigbbors. Those truths now admit
ted by all honest men of the other party
should not be allowed to be forgotten and
his candidates and platform with those of
the Republicans.
But more than this. The Republicans
owe much to themselves. They should
perfect and extend their organization, by
forming clubs and committees, and by get
ting ready their lists of voters, including
the Democrats and doubtful.
The inquiries of their State committee
should be promptly answered.
This Grant campaign must not be con-
Quoted by large meetings, but 10y neighbor-
hood gatherings, where the best orators
should be invited to speak. Immense sums
of money are wasted in these grand mass
assemblies, and nobody is converted.
The best documents TO circulate are the
Republican newspapers. Long speeches and
heavy essays are only read by the few, while
the able Republican paper, fresh, newsy,
and full of point, instructs and enliyens at
the same time.
Remember, Republicans, you must work
to win. The rebel Democracy will soon
recover from their despair; and, like the
legions of Lee, after Meade defeated them
at Gettysburg, in 1863, will re-organize for
one last onset of revenge.

Docs Not Admire Him.

Tho Louisville Courier (Democratic) says
that tho country has been given very ex-
aggerated idea of Grants military capacity
that his genius is really of an inferior order,
and that his achievements during the war
we're those of lucky blunderer rather than
that of great captain.
The Louisville Courier is edited by Gensr-
al Buckner-Simon Boliver Buckner-wbo
having been denied the privilege of cpforc.
ing Democratic ideas with the sword, fol
lows the example of his colleagues, Forrest
of Fort Pillow and Quantrell of Lawrence
in emphasizing them with the pen. If 81.
mons pen is not "mighticr" than his sword
it must be a very worthless weapon.
A reason for Simon's opinion of Grant
may be found in n bit of history. Simon
had command of certain rebel work known
as Fort Donelson. Grant invested and held
it completely. Simon wanted to 90 home.
Grant wouldn't let him. Simon asked up.
on what terms he might get out of the box
Grant told him that the terms were "uncon-
ditional surrender" Simon declared that
as Southerner and chevalier he could
not consent to that. Grant then wrote: 81
propose to move Immediately upon your
works" Simon read the letter, and, like
Captain Scott's coon, came down. But the
incident led him to form very poor opin-
ion of Grant. We saw Simon when he pas
sed through Albany on bis way to Boston
harbor. and we concluded then that lie had
no admiration for Grant. He probably
found at the Democratic Convention many
who agree with him; and for the same rea.

THE New REBELLIoN.-It is now we'll
settled that Congress will not adjourn final
ly,-but take recess to September or Octo.
Der. Tho announcement by Senator Hen.
dricks, that the President intended to aid
in getting up new rebellion, for the pur-
pose of nullifying the laws of Congress, has
changed the views of the majority who ia
vored adjournment. The same policy is
now pursued by the nullifers of 1868, to
nullifythe laws of Congress as waspursued by
Calhoun and his followers in 1888, when
Gen. Jackson headed off that rebellion, by
threatening to chang Calhoun as high as
Iamau" if he took another step in that di-
rection. Unfortunately we have no Jackson
for President but irstead one who pardons
and encourages tho traitors.

Portrait Of bismarck

The Berlin correspondent of the Boston
Journal says of the great Prussian Minister:
"He is more the King than the King.
More hats come off when he rides 'Unter
den Linden, than when the Russian turnout
above described appears. The Prussians
have had good evidence of mis- abilities, and
appreciate them. Whilo the King is plan
Ming the arrangement of the leg stripes for
his soldiers, the great Count is negotiating
with the powers that he, and always for the
good of Prussia lie lives in plain row Of
buildings on Williams street, with thick
shaded garden of lime trees in the rear, in
which he often walks to obtain relaxation
from the cares of over work. Look into any
shop window in Berlin and there is his
photograph. His name is heard at the ho-
tells and in the cafes. There are Bismarck
gloves, Bismarck collars, Bismarck riacs and
Bismarck ices. II any question of state
comes up the newspapers wait for Bismarck
to give an opinion. 1t is said that he cares
very little for the King, but the King cares
much for Bismarck.
"At the present writing the great states
man and diplomat is i'll at his house. and
has not been in the streets FOR several days.
1t is claimed that he has applied himself
too closely to his duties and needs relaxa.

Coffee dealers and coffee.po makers should
take notice of the promise made by Mr..
Woodward in behalf of Pennsylvania in the
late Convention. He pledged the State for
Seymour and Frank Blair by 10000 major
ity. This would seem to indicate an i'm.
mense manufacture between this and No
vember next of spurious naturalization pa.
pers, every one of which, to give it the re-
quisite sere and yellow appearance, must be
dipped in decoction of the fragrant berry.
Gentlemen desirous of contracting for the
supply Of coffee by the bag and of coffee pots
by the gross should address Mr.. Woodward
at once, or open negotiations with the Dem.
ocratic State Committee.

FROM WASHINGTOM.

WAsHINOToN, July 2l.-The most approv.
ed opinion with reference to the adjourn.
ment of Congress now is that it will take
place about Friday or Saturday.
Senators Sherman, and Morrill,, of Maine
who as chairman of the Finance and Appro.
priation Committees, are conservant with
the condition of business, think it will be
on Friday.
Mr.. Sherman has not tho expectation OF
getting tho funding bill through this session
and though it may 60 into a Conference
Committee, there is small prospect that the
House and Senate will agree.
Very unexpectedly the Senate passed q
military bill last evening. It's general char
actcr is the same as that referred to some
time ago, except that it reduces the force
to 10000 men. 1t kept the Senate in see
sion till midnight
The opposition was mainly to the section
authorizing the distribution of arms to the
States to the amount of one thousand Spring
field rifles to the militia of each Congression
al district. The Democrats fought this, be-
lieviDg 1t calculated to put the means oI
defense into the hands of the negroes and
the new State authorities in the South
This section may possibly be taken out and
passed as a joint resolution, but there is moi

WAsnINaToN, July 22.-The probabilitie.
of the final defeat of the funding bill arr
considerably increasing.

Western and Middle States think that cours,

tions, and thinks there is no possible chanc,
for Democrats TO carry the elections mex

THE No PRINcIrLE PARTY.-The intclli-
gent portion of Democrats no longer profess
to bc governed by principles. Their creed
now is, "sny man or anything to beat
Grant," the same Grant they wished to adopt
as their candidate less than two years since.
When our Democratic United States Sena-
tor, Mr.. Buckalew, read Blair's letter, bid.
ding for the Vice Presidency, in which he
favored new rebellion, he denounced him
and his doctrines, declaring that he would
not be sustained by the Democrats. This is
true. No true Democrat of the jefferson
school will do so. They are nearly all now

HumOrs Ofthe Canvass.

Dean Richmond was never an admirer of
Mr.. Seymour. At the Democratic National
Convention of 1860, at Charleston, while the
committees were employed and the members
wanted to fill up the time, it was determined
to have speech from the bluff old New
Yorker. A messenger came to him with
the message that he was desired to come in
and speak. Dean mouthed huge execra-
tion, and then refused "If speak shall
say something which will come up again.
Call on Seymour; lie can talk without saying
anything"
1t is said that the democratic platform
was made for the taxpayers, and the nom-
nations for the bondholders.
Wildcats are said to have become more
plentiful than ever in Connecticut. The
platform of the democratic party proposes
to use them to pay off the national debt.
The GAINESVILLE Courier offers reward for
democrat in Muskingum county, Ohio,
who has yet given hurrah for the Tammany
Hall ticket.
Seymour is said to have obtained the
democratic nomination by declining it, and
Judge Chase to have lost it by seeking it.
The New Gospel of Peace" has this
allusion to Mr.. Seymour
"And now of the Pahdees he was called
Seymour, because he could say more and
mean less than any other man living"
A western paper says "Air. Seymour is
said to be strong with the democratic party;
but unluckily the party is not strong with
him."
The Cincinnati railroads had warm COM
petition for the contract of carrying the
"Pendleten Escort" to New York. The
narrow gauge roads obtained it; immediate.
ly after the nomination, the managers of the
broad gauge route telegraphed to Mr. Pen
dleton, offering to furnish ambulance cars
to bring back his party.
1t Is proposed in the bill before Congress
in relation to the Alabama claims, to give
the President large discretionary powers.
A western paper approves of the idea, say
ing "He needs to have discretionary pow
ers give him by somebody, as lie never had
any of his own" .....
The Pendleton Escort gets many hard
shots in the newspapers. One paper re-
ports that the remnant of it returned home
chanting
"Not yell was heard, not grcenbaek note,
As the escort from Tammany hurried--
Not hummer discharged his farewell shout
O'er the grave where George lies buried
Some American ladies at Copenhagen
who recently called on the Queen of Den

rising to receive them, she laid on her work

had been knitting.

GEN. SIMON BucKNER, now an editor at
louisville, Ky, and who commanded Fort
Donelson when it surrendered to Grants
forces, says he don't admire Gen. Grant.
Grants terms were unconditional surren-
der" which Buckner considered ungentle-
manly, when applied to those whom the
Democratic platform courteously styles as
"a gallant and determined foe." Buckner
was certainly excusable, and so we're many
other delegates to the Democratic Conven-
tion, North and South, for not admiring
Grant But is it the spirit of true chivalry
Certainly not!

THE HEAT.-In Baltimore, on the 14th
inst, the thermometer in the american office
stood at 10S. The cases of sunstroke in
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, num-
bered 425, from the 18th to the Goth inst.
The average temperature at New York, from
the 1st to the 18th, was 81. During the
same time in 1865, it was something over SO.
In 1867, the thermometer did not reach 90.
These heated terms seldom last over three
or four days, and seldom occur more than
once in a season. The probability is that
tho season of extreme heat, this year, is
among the things of the past.

The fact that the soldiers in 1894 gave
