~ The Detroit Free Press wants to
know what Grant has done toward reduc-
ing the expenses of the Government.
"Saved millions to the Treasury" answers
Andrew johnson.
VY Semmes, the pirate, made speech
for Seymour and Blair at Mobile the other
day. He feels almost as happy on the
Democratic stump as he would in burning
Yankee ships.
Da The Hartford Post is inclined to
think Gen. Blair uses whisky only " for
medicinal purpose" to- wit, for corns
He was dreadfully corned all the time he
was in Hartford during the Connecticut
campaign.
~ Governor Andrew, of Massachu-
sets, three days before his death, said:
"The tendency of the hour is toward
Grant, and that is best. Grant is so
square and honest man that believe
he is bound to be right, anywhere"
rs S. S. Cox inquiries, "What is there
in the history of Horatio Seymour that
will not bear rubbing?" We don't know
about the rubbing; he has borne several
spankings, and is q candidate for another.

G An old soldier who has lost an arm
says: I am waiting to see if the people
of this country are going to elect Horatio
Seymour, and if they do, will swear that
I lost my arm in a threshing machine,
and not in defense of my country"
GSY The Philadelphia Press says the
Democrats have taken care to nominate a
candidate for President who was in favor
of the lasts rebellion against the govern
ment, and a candidate for Vice President
who has pledged himself in favor of the
next rebellion against the government.

the question, "Does Grant drink ?" 1t
may now turn its attention to Blair, whose
hotel bill in this city last year was sent

~ A letter from New York CORES
pondent says that over ten thousand voters
in that city, in the banks, insurance offices,
stores, marss of trade, and among the
mechanics, who though not exactly Demo
Gratis, would have gone for what they call
a Conservative man, openly aVow them
selves for Grant.
g5Y Dean Richmond was never an adj
mirer of Mr.. Seymour. At the Demo-
Charleston, while the committees were en-
ployed 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 a huge execration, and then
refused off | speak | shall say some
thing which will come up again. Call on
Seymour; he can talk without saying any
thing"
e5Y~ The Cincinnati Gazette says infor-
nation is wanted of twenty dollar gold
coin, somewhat worn, which one Vallan-
dgham carried in the political campaigns
during the war, and which he was wont,
at every speech he made, to hold up to the
crowd and to call their admiration to it
as the Democratic money, and to hold up
to contempt greenback note, in compar-
ison Herewith, as the rags which they had
to take for money since Republicans came
in. The aforesaid coin was lost to view
some time ago, and since then the exhibit
tors have been praisiDg the beauties of
greenbacks.

tells the following: In the northern part

which began to ply him with questions.
Finally a man said to him, You're Sey..
mour man, amt you, old fellow?"
Strengthening up, the old chap answered,
