conducted Republican Journal, edited

The question now asitating both
political parties is how to secure the
election of President in 1879 Both
parties are trimming their sails for
that contest, and the tickets placed in
the field this year will be shaped with
the Presidential campaign in view.
General sGrantiis a candidate for re-
on the Republican side; and
in fact the only Republican that has
any organized support for the posi-
tion. This support comes from the
office holders, wboseem TO regard it a
portion of their official duty to eiec-
tioneer for the man, that gave them
bread Gratitude in private transac-
tions is correct and preper,l because
there it is voiuntarya but in the sup
port given thelPresident il is enforced,
and the officesholder feeling that his
head is in danger if he does not shout
long live sthe President, cleaYes the
air with his vociferations in behalf of
his Supposed benefaetor. OF course
the holding of publiezposition with
in the gift of the ruling powers at
Washington ought not to5sink per-
sons manhood, and convert his opin-:
ions into a4machine which respond
according to the turn of the admins
tration crank, but it does, andslwe ae-
cordingly have to meet the question
as we find it. This is building up a
political despotism, no. matter what
party is Empower, which hasa greater
tendency to subvert Isepublican insti-
tutions than any other practice of the
country.
ID 1t can be considered as settled that
a powerful movement will be- made
for General Grants reorganization,
with strong probabilities that the
movement will succeed. The only
thing that can possibly preventit will
be. the fear that he cannot be, elected,
a fear that is well grounded, and one
which we firmly believe the result
willIprevel cofrectaif the experiment
of denomination is triedsdl rs Tsi -
Whatever the sentiments. of the pol
iticians may be towards the President,
he has ceased to be strong among the
masses of the people, and as tine poll
ticians care nothing for him save as he
is available, this is a branch of the sit
uation that thew " oduld do well to scan
closely. He was easily waited into
the Presidential chair on the wave of
