Some Democratic editors are try
ing to console themselves over their
defeat by the absurd prediction that
Gen. GRANT viii prove false to the par
ty which elected him. like his "illds-
triOus q predecessor" Andy johnson.
They may, however, as well dismiss
that notion at once and forever, as
there is not the slightest foundation
for "The s0isk is father to the
thought"
To say nothing Of the explicit Ian
guage of his letter accepting the Re
publican nomination, which unreserv-
edly commits him to the principles of
the Republican party, we cite these
Democratic psetIdO-prophets to the
following extract from a letter Of adj.
vice written by Gen. Grant to Gov.
Orr. Of South Carolina, last winter.
II they can derive any comfort from
it, they must be equal to the task Of
drawing sunbeams from cucumbers.
What says the President elect to
Gov. Orr? "Read, mark and inward

more exacting the Republicans will

home, urge your people to accept ne.
gro suffrage. IF you had promptly
adopted the Constitutional Amend
ment abOIishing Slavery, or the one
making negroes citizens, and gUaran-
teeing the public debt, Congress would
undoubtedly have admitted you be-
fore this. Now it will insist upon
adding impartial suffrage. The SOON
er you accept that the better for ali

THIS IS not only sumelenG proof OF
Gen. Grants entire sympathy with
the Republican party, butit also shows
his rare political foresight and sagaci-
| ty. How wise and true has the elec-
on proved his words. "Have moth
ling to do with NOrtherners who Op-
posed the war. They will never
again be Entrusted withpOwer"
Grant herein proved himself true
prophet, as well as true Republican,

are predicting that he will bstray the

cts, deceiving themselves and their

Ex-Gov. DAVID TOP died suddenly
of apoplexy, on Friday morning last,
at his residence in Youngstown, Ma
honing couWty. He had seemingly
been in his usual health until he
awoi1e that morning. He then com
plained Of being unweIl, lay down
again, and in few minutes was a
corpse. he was in his sixty-fourth
year, having been born at Youngs-
town. on the21st Of February, 1905.
Gov. Tod was one of the most prom
inent public men of our State, and
spent the greatest portion of his life in
public service. He began his career as
a lawyer at the age of22, in TrumbuIl
CO., where he practised with success
for about 10 years. His first political
service was in the State Senate in 1888.
An ardent Democrat, he stumped. the
State for Van Buren in 1910 and soon
rose to eminence as an effective and
eloquent public speaker. In 1874 and
'46, he was run by his party for Gov
ernor, but was defeated both times by
small majorities. In 1847 ne was ap,
pointed Minister to Brazil by Presi-
dent Polk, and on his return in 1851,
took-the stump for franklin Pierce
and also took part in the canvass Of
1856.
In the Presidential canvas. Of 1860,
he supported Mr.. Douglas, and when
the rebellion broke out he, like his
great leader, espoused the cause of his
country in preference to that of his
party. He was elected Governor of
the State by the Republicans in 1861,
and discharged the arduOus duties OF
that Office during the two most trying
years of the war, with honor to him
self and credit to the State. His un-
firing efforts in raising and equipping
troops for the support of the National
Government, looking after their welfare
in the field, and in every way aiding
to suppress the rebellion, gained him
the warm affection Of the soldiers, and
the praise OF every loyal citizen.
At the close of his gubernatorial
term in 1863, he retired from public
service, declining the offer Of a place
in Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet in 1864, on
the retirement Of Secretary Chase from
the Treasury department, and devo-
ted himself to his duties as President
Of the Cleveland & Mahoning railroad, +,
in which he was engaged up to the
close Of his life. His loss will be Sc
verely felt, not only by his family, but
by the community in which he lived,
to whose interests he gave his lime
and means without stint.
Gov. Tod was enc of the Senatorial
electors on the Republican ticket in
this State, and his death creates a va
eancy which will be filled by the re-
manning electors, according to the
provisions of the law in such contin-
gency.
A faithful public servant, a true
patriot, and a good man has fallen.
Honor to his memory and peace to
his ashes.

The night after the election, the Re
publicsns Of Gaiena, Ills, celebrated
the election of their distinguished
townsman, Gen. Grant, with a grand
torchlight procession, illuminatiOns
and a grand jubilation. The Tanners
were out in full force, and these, with
citizens to the number Of several
thousands, marched to the Generals
residence. In response to repeated
and energetic calls, Gen. Grant ap-
peared on the piazza and spoke as fol-
lows:
"Friends and fellow-citizens of GA
lena l thank you for this additional
mark Of kindness. Sufficient, I sup
pose, has now been heard of the result
Ofthe late election to show upon
whom It has fallen To administer the
affairs of the nation for the next four
years. 1 suppose it is no egotism in
me to say that the choice has fallen on
me. The responsibilities of the posi-
tiOn feel, but accept them without
fear, if I can have the same support
which has been given to me thus far.
I thank you and all Others who have
fought together in this contest-a con-
test in which you are all interested
personally, as much as, and, perhaps,
more than 1 am. l now take occasion
to bid you goodbye, as 1 leave here
tomorrow for Washington, and shall
probably see but few of you again for
some years to come, although it would
give me great pleasure to make an an
nual pilgrimage to place where !
have enjoyed myself so much as !
have here during the past few months "
A volley of deafening cheers was
the response to this speech of the Gen
eral, after which the crowd proceeded
to the residence of Hon. E. B. Wash
burne, who was called out, and adj
dressed his fellow-townsmen in happy
and eloquent terms. Hon. w. B. AL
ison, Representative from the Third
District of Iowa, also made an
effective and stirring speech; after
which the crowd dispersed, with rous-
ing cheers for Gen. Grant, Washburne
and the splendid victory they had just
gained.

Gen. GRANTS conducting himself since
his election with his usual good sense and

turned his head in the least. He has stead

and is quietly and faithfully attending to
his oficiaI duties as General of the Army.
This is as it should be, and will add to the
estimation in which he is held by the PeO-
PIE, who have just so highly honored both
themselves and him, by his election to the
Chief Magistracy.
It's reported that the hungry horde Of
ofice-seekers have already begun to deluge
him with letters, urging their claims, but
he has adopted asummaTy method of get

read any Of their letters, and commits
