The Radical party In the West are
beginning 10 turn the cold shoulder
TO General Grant They arc neither
warm nor cordial in their professions
of attachment and fidelity to his ad.
ministrntion, aud hence the visit OF
the President TO that section. Tho
platform adopted by the Ohio Radi'
Gals ignores Grant and his administra-
tion. 1t does not even mention
Grants name, and does not refer to
his administration except to indirect
ly repudiatc il. This is SAID to be
the work of Colhx, who is a can
didatc for tho Presidency TO follow
General Grant, urged on by Dawes
and the anti Boutwell, men in the
East. Mr.. Dawes opened the cam
paign in his tart, antiradministration
speech at tho beginning OF the scs-
sion, and the mill has been kept run
ming ever since in all parts of the
West. The leading politicians from
that section accuse General Grant OF
insincerity. They declare he will not
keep faith on important questions
They accuse him of playing double
on the tariff question, of running with
the free traders. On the currency is
sue they also proclaim General Grant
to be mere trader, iavoring the
schemes of few jobbcrs, instead OF
the masses who are entitled to his
confidence and protection. In short,
the prominent Radicals of the West
are heartily tired Of General Grant
and his cigar, and that fact is crop
ming out in all their ciions of no
thueaI cnaracter. Nor will the visit
OF the President to the West mend
matters in regard to the Issue raised
in that section. lie cannot take a
new departure from Western stand.
point. lie cannot throw overheard
his Eastern friends, and accept, in
their stead, such persons as the West
wish in places Of confidence and pow
er. lie is bound hand and foot to a
certain clique in New York. They
dictate his policy and fashion his ad.
vances. 1t is a close corporation. II
deals in gold, or bargains for islands.
This is the influence which controls
General Grant, which moulds and
shapes his administration, and be
tween these men aud the men Of the
West there is bitter feud. They are
not fighting for principle. 1t is an
unequal share Of the plunder which
arms the combatants, and between
them the President will be hacked to
pieces. Tho West has taken its
stand, and General Grant must pre-.
pare TO fight il out on that line. He
cannot shut up the eyes Of the Radi-
Gals of that section with smoke.-Age.

TUE HYPocRITE.-The Harrisburg
Patriot says: Horace Greeley is spo-
ken of as the radical candidate for
Governor of New York, but that he is
not now running on the Temperance
lay, is quite evident from the following
editorial paragraph in the Tribune:
"a rather feeble temperance State Convention
"asscmblcd yesterday al Syracuse, aud nominated
"a full State ticket, headed by Myron II. Clark
"for Governor. The movement Is Of small con
sequence"
Besides being a liquor prohibilionist
Mr. Greeley is the head of The party
of protection in this country, but he
does not want the protection raised in
the election. lie has made it an issue
in his newspaper for thirty years,
showing the greatest intolerance ofall
opposition. Now that lac isl candid
ate for Governor, he thinks the quos-
tion Of protection and free trade
should be conveniently dropped.
Protection and prohibition are well
enough when IL. g. is not running for
Governor.
