the Radical managers here are exceedingly
bitter in their denunciations of Grant and
his administration. Nothing seems to 60
right with them. They say if Grant had
done bis duty the Legislature of Ohio
would be Radical beyond doubt. They
express themselves as being very much
dissatisfied on account Of the success of the
reform ticket in Hamilton county. They
wanted the ring ticket elected, in order to
have sure thing of it in the Legislature
They are just now pitching into one another
here at headquarters with vim, and who
Radical party won't swear, ought to the
in this city just now.

the grave floral case was placed upon
it. This act was witnessed in profound
silence, and served to increase the en-
otiou which pervaded the congregations.
