DOTS FOE DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic ratification meeting at
Mt. Vernon, Illinois, was interrupted by a
slight shower. Democrats are awfully
afraid OF water.
A Democratic banner in recent process
sion read, ITO hi with F. B." Query:
Did it mean Freedmen's Bureau or Frank
Blair?
1t is vehemently denied by the Democ-
racy that Seymour has tendency to insani-
ty. There is no doubt, however, that he
will be very mad in November.
Seymours physicians say be is likely to
become crazy within a year. If he has
any hopes of defeating Grant, he is crazy
already.
The Louisville Democrats unconsciously
electioneered for the Republican ticket the
other night by putting upon a banner the
words "Old Whisky Grant, 1t softened
the Kentuckians toward him wonderfully.
The Cleveland Herald says frank
Blair was always an extremist. Three
years ago he was a Radical Republican;
now he is a Radical Rebel. What he will
be year from this time the Lord only
kaows,'
The Hartford Post is inclined to think
General Blair uses whisky only "for medi-
cinal purposes" to wit, for corns. He was
dreadfully corned all the time he was in
Hartford during the Connecticut campaign.
Chase is in an iee-house at Washington,
studying political economy, and particular
ly the ingratitude of Republicans, and
more particularly the stupidity of the De-
mocrstic party. Grant only is serene
We see no reason to doubt that many OF
the late rebels will support General Grant
ont of pure gratitude. He " went for them
faithfully, and they certainly can't do less
than go for him. "--Ne,e York Sun.
Doolittle says that Seymour can't be
elected without the support of the " Con-
sentative Republicans" As the survivor
Of that party are supposed to be only thr >
in number Mr.. Doolittle evidently does MOI
hope for very large majority.
1t is related that when HoratiC Seymour
said he was prepared to spend ten thousand
dollars to defeat Conkling for the United
States Seuate, his sister [Conkling's wife,
presented her husband with her check Tor
FIVE thousand dollars, and stood prepared
to go FIVE better.
tbs remarked that magnificence has to
be paid for New York was gloriously
magnificent in the Convention; she had
everything pretty much her own way
nearly all the officers of the Convention,
chief of the Executive Committee, and
finally the browning triumph in the selec.
ton Of her favorite son for the Presidential
nomination.
Mr.. Pendleton recognizes that we are in
a state Of war by demanding that the pub.
lie debt shall be paid in paper. But Geu-
eral Grant says, . Let us have peace. >
How now, Mr. P, about public neces.
sity -
Grant wants peace and prosperity
Blair wants the President elect to com.
pei the army to override its usurpation al
the South, disperse the carpet-bag State
governments, and compel the Senate ia
submit in other words, he wants war.
Which do you want?
johnson, in proclaiming the restoration
OF the Southern States, takes good care to
use language showing that he, does not re-
cognize the validity Of their constitutions
1t would not be to their credit to have his
approval. Their coming into the Union
over his veto is all the more glorious. The
only lustre johnson can now shed upen a
measure is by opposing it.
The Democratic party in 1861 transmit
ted to the Republicans bankrupt Treas
ury, dishonored credit, and an incipient
rebellion Of gigantic proportions. The ex-
istence OF the public debt is due to the fact
that the Southern wing Of the Democratic
party attempted TO break up the Union,
and forced the government to prosecute an
expensive war. Themagnitude of the debt
is due to the factIthat the Northern wing Of
the Democratic party, by its disloyal and
seditious course, embarrassed the Union
cause, and greatly prolonged tie war, add
ing millions to our liabilities.
Our spiritual friends say that Daniel
Webster was very much incensed at the
Illinois delegation for calling John A. Nc.
Clernand his ''compeer,' when they nomi-
mated him for Vice-P President in the Demo-
cratic convention. He had right to be.
The comparison must have been suggested
by some bitter old Democrat who did not
get his revenge on Webster during his life
time.
The New York Tribune reports that on
Wednesday night the compositors of the
New York World had quarrel over a
fat take" and, during the row, accident
ally pied saving galley" containing the
following words; LAG Grants, I22 drunken
louts, 60 sots, 40 Greeleys, 5000 Tribunes,
Hiram Sidney, 200 trooly loils, 60 mig
gers, 3S Beast Buffers, $40 Hiram Ulysseses.
40 Urcle Simpsons, 10 violated Constitu.
tons, 6 bowling Radicals, 38 Freedmen's
Bureaus, 1000 carpet-baggers, 50 Seymour,
the patriots.
Writing during the Tammany Conven.
ton, Brick Pomeroy said; THE Chase
movement killed Seymour dead as smelt,
greatly to the modification of Seymour's
friends. He walked into the gold trap set
for him by four men, and went down SO
deep he can not come to the surface until
political life and power be gone foreyer.v
That is precisely what Republicans mean
and desire. Even the efforts of Pomeroy's
party will not lift him to the surface. The
Democratic party is too far below the sur
face for Seymour to reach it with their best
help,
A railroad conductor once said to Prince
John Van Buren,, "Sir, you can not smoke
here" But you see do replied the i'm
perturable Prince. So the Tammany plat
iorm says to 100000 people south of the
Potomac, you have no right to vote"
But you see we do" respond the grinning
Americans of African descent. Blair |
threatens to disfranchise these voters at the |
point Of the bayonet Grant says, "Let us |
lave peace by recognizing their equal
lights as citizens Of the Republic, which
irst emancipated them, and then placed
rms in their hands.F
When the fictitious excitement which fol-
owed Horatio Seymour's nomination was
It its height in New York, John Morissey
urprised Democratic friend By saying in
lis quiet nonchalant sort Of way: Gan
his & very nice, but there isn't ghost Of
