The PolIoaI OuIIook.

Under the caption this Trenton
Gazette. edited by that veteran
democrat, John H. Glass, after
speaking of the various political
moves in the checker board of both
parties, concludes that Grant will
be the nominee of the radicals, and
that il viii take all the elements OF
opposition to defeat him, and says :
Gen. Grant win unquestionabIy
be the nominee Of the Radical party
and as all true patriots. sincerely
desire his defeat, the only question
worthy of consideration is the best
means to compass that end.
Is the Democratic party strong
enough to accomplish the overthrow
of the despOtism now grinding its
heel upon the necks Of the people
Does the recent elections and decla-
ration OF Martial law induce such a
belief? If not, then why pursue the
insane policy of making a candi-
date simply to be defeated 9If the
Democrats run no candidate Gen.
Grant can and will be defeated By a
liberal Republican, just as the party
was over thrown in Tennessee, ViF-
ginia and Missouri. We eare for this
policy.

sHonest HTen for ofTice. y

The New Orleans Times talks
with a point to il in the following.
No matter whether in high or low
pla>es,. the honesty,of public officials
should be serutinized with exacting
rigidness. The honest VIII not sHf-
fer; but only those who are guilty
of wrong. The Tones says fr III
Honest men for Office" is now
the true political watchword and
reply. Cities whose affairs have
been managed by Rings, and States
which have been ruled and ruined
by corruption, are alike interested
in correcting the great evils under
which our whole political fabric
groans. When the life of \ nation
Is imperiled by war, the people may
be excused IL they do not lsok with
too exaeting ascrutiny into the acts
OF their public servants, but when
peace is supposed TO exist, and
every voter is TO some extent re-
sponsibIe for the character of those
whom he assists TO place in Office,
the antecedents of candidates for Of
fee should be rigidly inquired into.
Honest men for ofIlce, means oppo-
sition to fraud, and the inaugura-
ton of economy and fair dealing in
ouI. State and municipal affairs.
