ACCORDING to the Chicago Tribune
the country may not look to see any Of
the abuses Of the radical party reformed
unless with the aid Of the democracy.
1t says that if the democratic party
disbands and its members "unite with
the republican party and aid in accom-.
'plishing needed reforms, and in elect
ing proper men to office, the benef,
to the nation will be very great" Her,
is rather open acknowledgement tina
the radical party is corrupt and ough
to be overthrown--that an inconsidera
bic wing of it is honest and patriotic
but powerless, and if the democratic
party, abandoning its organization, will
unite with this honest but very small
portion of the dominant party, corrup.
ton may be done away with and great
good will result. This is very much
like asking the mountain to 60 to Ma
homet, which the mountain will not do
just yet. The democracy have not lost
for some years, and it will yet absorb
the better portion Of the radical party
which feels that it is high time for re-
forms in the administration Of the gov.
eminent. a.. .,.. &.

ocrats have no objection to combine
with the conservative rcpublicsns--to
form a coalition "oponly and above
board and say to the people we,
the democrats and conservative repub-
cleans agreeing that the country Is in
donverond its safety cannot be secured
unless il is taken out Of radical hands,
combine 20 defeat the radicals, and to
this end agree to declaration of
principles" But the democrats will
not, as Schurz and Blair suggest, say,
in substance "We are miserable po-
litical sinners aud ashamed Of our
record aud our present position. The
people, also, are Disguised with us,
and will never support us while
we wear the democratic cloak. We
will, therefore, crawl into our hole
and pull the hole in after us and
you republicans, who cant have your
own way with Grant, may nominate
somebody who will stand upon our
platform then we will come out Of
our hole slyly and help you elect your
man with our principles, and the peo-
pile won't know anything about it,
This is a scurvy policy-a cowardly
policy--a dishonest policy. The dem
ocrats have nothing to conceal-noth-
ing. We stand by what we have done,
by the principles we have advocated.
We will join our hands with any con-
siderable body of men entertaining 9TH
er ideas Of government policy, but the
coalition must be made in such man
ner that the democratic party will not
suffer in its own self-respect or the re-
spect Of the nation.

Mr.. Arthur y. Cummings, OF wash |

date for Speaker of the House Of delegates
Of that state. The conservatives gain
seventeen members in the Legislature.
The Wyoming House of Represent
atives on Monday last week voted to re-
peal the woman suffrage act. The DEM
ocrats voted for repeal, and the repub-
licans against it. The council has not
acted upon it.
.-Colonel John Screven, mayor Of Saw
annab, appears to be the most popular
democratic candidate for Governor of
Georgia. He has been mayor of Savannah
three years, is faithful officer, and will
receive the votes of many conservative re-
publicans.
The National Republican Committee
will find when they assemble in Washing
ton, January II, that the settlement Of
the question where to hold the national
convention is not easy. Tho report that
New York had been selected has excited
. brisk opposition in other cities.
The latest ticket for President and
Vice President is NJ. Stafford 4. Church,
Of the Supreme Court Of New York, and
Governor A. Grstz Brown, of Missouri
The ticket would be stronger IL the names

Vice.President Colfax because his name
has been mentioned as o candidate fol

didate, and assert that the abuse is mis-.
taken, as he is in favor of General Grants
denomination. To save his character, Mr..
Colfax ought to ''defne his position" once
more.
"A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial says that if a half dozen indie
pendent Republicans in the Ohio legisla-
ture refuse TO attend the legislative caucus
and 10 support Mr.. John Sherman for
Senator, other Republicans who are for
him will vote for Mr.. Thomas Ewing or
Mr.. William s. Groesbeck, in order to
beat the independent candidate. The En-
quirer, however, declares that ''this trick
is easily seen through, and it will not win.
The Democrats are not to be divided by
any such article. They will 60 unsni-
mously for an independent man against
Sherman, and no such expedent as that

their purpose"

had good opportunity of appreciating

of which will cost about 7o0,00of. ($l40,-

and Sir Richard Wallace will pay the
whole cost of maintaining it. The annual
expenses, says the Steele, are estimated at
not less than 100000 ($30,000).
