their past record.
Democrats need only to read the Ad
ministration press to convince themselves
where the path OF duty lies in the pre-
sent juncture of affairs. IT Is as safe
maxim in politics as in war to ''frst find
out what your enemy desires you to do,
and then don't do it" Thihalone should
determine the Democratic party in favor
OF endorsing the Cincinnati nominees,
even if they had no other and higher
considerations. But they have. There
mey possibly have been few scheming
Democrats, greedy for the spoils Of Office.
who have egged the Liberal Republicans
On in their bolt against the Grant faction,
with sinister designs all the while to
profit the Democratic party thereby.
There are indications at present point
ing strongly in that direction. Such
was not, however, the spirit that ao-
tuated the body Of the Democratic
press and the people. It is absurd to
suppose anything OF the kind. The
Democracy was alarmed at the e1trava-
gance. nepotism and corruption Of
Grants administration. and at the rapid
pace towards centralism with which the
Government was rushing under his rule.
They felt power!sss to check the down.
ward course on which the republic was
going. and they hailed with surprise and
delight the prospect held ont Of ooali-
ton with the Liberal Republicans to
effect common patrio!io end. They
were perfectly sincere in the encourage.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have truthtuRy answered before
he starts on his journey, and little
care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble,
time and money.
The &C. b. & @. RR.," running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Bur-
lington, and the 81. B. & W. Route"
running from indianapolis, through
Bloomington to Burlington, have
achieved asplendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passen-
ger Routes to the West. At Burling-
ton they connect with the B. d NJ. II.
Il. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to Califor-
mia and the Territories; and passen-
gers starting from Tionesta, on their
way westward, cannot do better than
to take the Burlington Route.
This Line has published pamphlet
called Chow to 90 West" which con-
tains much valuable information; a
large correct map of the Great West
which can be obtained free of charge
by addressing the General Passenger

OConor's AcceptanCe-Louisyille' Choice
Declares his Intention Of Running-The
StraightOutS Jubilant

O'Conor's Acceptance-Louisviile's Choice
declares his Intention of Running-The
Straishtouts Jubilant.
from the New York Times of Saturday.
Not little agitation was occasioned yes
terday by the rumor that Hon. Charles
O'Conor had accepted the nomination urged
upon him by the Louisville Convention. In
curry revealed the fact that he had written
a letter of acceptance, and would try his
chances against the Liberals and their CO.
adjutors. The opinions and the views of
Mr.. J. @. Adams are already known to the
public.
1t will be remembered that on Thursday
a night session was held at the residence
of Mr.. G. P. Sykes, one of the prime
movers of the Straightout movement, and
aid-de-camp to Brick Pomeroy, at which
there were present Peter Gilsey, j. j. Van
Allen, Alex. Spaulding, John A. Goodlett,
j. Van Setback, and Others of the commit
tee. Mr.. Sykes lives in Twenty-frst
street, and at his house there were large
number of the advocates of the Straight.
out movement. The campaign was
thoroughly discussed.
Yesterday number of the prominent
spirits of the movement met at the busl-
ness office Of Mr.. Sykes, and while in ses-
sion, letter was received from Mr..
O'Conor. The letter was personal to one
of the members of the committee, and,
after disposing of matters altogether out
side of the question of politics, it closed
with paragraph announcing the authors
acceptance of the Louisville nomination.
A reporter of the Times called at the
office OF Mr.. Sykes, and had an interview
with that gentleman. Mr.. Sykes intimated
that Mr.. O'Conor was a peculiar man on
the subject of Convention nomination,
and was tender on the subject of his
correspondence. Mr.. Sykes, however,
was willing to state that Mr.. O'Conor
had accepted the nomination of the
Louisville Convention, and being press
ed for definite language, stated that
the letter received from Mr.. O'Conor
treated prelimirarily of personal matters,
and closed with a paragraph in which the
words, said Mr.. Sykes, 81 do accept the
the Louisville nomination." were used.
Mr.. Sykes gave his authority for this asser.
ton, but refused to produce the letter,
inasmuch as it was personal. There were
a number of the members of the commit
tee present at the Office, prominent among
whom was Judge Goodlett.
Mr.. Sykes stated that measures would
be at once adopted for the energetic
prosecution of the campaign. The Day
Book came out yesterday morning for
O'Conor and Adams. having repudiated
Greeley and Brown. A meeting will be
held on Monday night to adopt measures
political, and prepare for the work of the
fall.
Last night much talk was INDUCED in at
the various rendezvous Of the leading poll
ticians among those who had heard of the
intentions of MIR. O'Conor. Bets on the
result were freely offered, and the genera
humor was at once observable as highly

HENRICO REPUBLICANs.-A meeting
of the Republical Executive Committee of
Henrico was held on Saturday last. 1t was
resolved to hold township mass meetings
on the 9TH day of October, for the purpose
of selecting new county executive COM
mittee, consisting of four members from
each township, township committee of
live members, and precinct committees
of seven members (; also, to select five
delegates and five alternates from each
township, to meet in convention on the
10th day of October. at the county court
house, to make nominations for the Offices
of sheriff and clerk, both Of these offices
being now held by persons appointed by
Judge Minor. We learn from Mr.. George
M. Flcck, the secretary of the county exc
cutive committee, that the meeting was
well attended, and that the utmost harmony
prevails among the Republicans of the
county. With good nominations for the
county offices, old Henrico will roll up
majority Of four hundred for Grant and Will
son, j. Amber Smith and the Republican
party.

CODIFIC ALTON OF LAWs.-We see
that the city of Alexandria advertises for
bids for the codifcation of the laws of the
city. This is proper. Our Council has
just referred the same subject to commit
tee with power to employ some favorite at
a sum not exceeding 81 900. Large sums
have been paid by the city of Richmond on
several occasions of late years on account
of this codifcation business. Such work
should be let by contract, as is purposed
in Alexandra, by which no one will doubt
several hundred dollars could be saved to
the people. There are hundreds of gentle
men, and ladies. too, in the city who could
perform the work, and who should be ac-
corded the right to bid for it. Any good
clerk could perform the duty. 1t does not
necessarily require legal knowledge, as
seems to be the impression. Let us have
more fairness in such matters.
