THE SUMNER .SCHURZ I'M
BROGLIO.

The bottom of the Sumner-Schurz in
vestigation and Grant t-denunciation has
completely fallen out. The more they
have investigated, the higher the admin
istration has risen in the estimation Of the
nation. The more they denounce Grant
and advocate the one-term doctrine, the
more the people see through their mo-
tives. The White House is tempting to
many and almost overcame the philoso-
ply of that veteran Republican, Horace
Geeley. The New York IIfdune will
advocate Grants reelection, and Greeley
will bid adicu TO all antcipations of the
Presidency. 1t is singular fact that
while Sumner, Schurz and Trumball OPP
pose Grants recollection, they do not
name their preference. Upon this they
never could agree. Each Of them enter
tans the same aspirations. Not long
since the project was broached to amend
the Constitution SO that foreigners might
be eligible to the Office of President.
Does any one doubt that this can be
traced directly back 10 Carl Schurz ?
Trumbull wants to be President, so does
Sumner, but neither of them ever will be.
Their course is prompted by ambitious
motives and has injured as yet no one but
themselves. Trumbull has always been
overrated and will find his level with Doo-
little and others of that ilk. Sumner is
man of intellectual requirements and
integrity. At the same time he is arbi-
trary Bnd vindiclive, and allows his per-
sonal resentments to lead him astray.
Should he persist in giving aid and com
fort to the enemy, the people of Massa-
chusetts, who have heretofore delighted
TO do him honor, will see to it that the
halls of Congress know him no more.
We place the prediction upon record.
The Democracy of New Hampshire were
aided by the recalctrant Senators. Fifty
thousand copies of Schurz's speech were
circulated in that State prior to the cleo
tion, franked by Democrats. The result
is Republican gain of more than two
thousand. AS the Sacramento Union
pertinently remarked, at would seem
that Summers influence did not extend
that far" Men who have been honored
by the people for II long time are apt to
illustrate the fable Of show we apples
SWIM" forgetting the all important fact
that the people are the only Senator and
President The silent man in
the White House comprehends this fact
much better than those who build upon
their long experience in public affairs and
would iain be considered as consummate
statesmen. Craftsmanship boiled down
is nothing more than good sense joined to
comprehension of the situation. An
drew johnson and his cabinent tried to
accomplished just what Sumner & Co.
have attempted. When Grant opens his
mouth he speaks to the point. In the
meantime, the opposition to him are
making another Fort Donelson fight,
and it will result now as then, in an un-
conditional surrender. Wendell Phillips,
in opposing the denomination of Abra-
ham Lincoln, said he "wanted man in
the White House." The Presidential
mansion has "a man" for its occupant
who realizes what the people want and
enjoys their confidence.

Representatives had a caucus in Wash

idea that there shall be no move made for
a National Convention till after the ad-
journment of the Reform Republican
Convention, to meet at Cincinnati in
May also that there will be no surrender
of Democratic principles for the sake OF
a coalition with the Reformers, and that

President recently nominated BY the
Labor Convention, and for this pur-
pose arc here to ascertain the views.
and, if possible, to secure the CO.
operation of the reform Republicans
in Congress. \ meeting for the dis
cussiou of this important proposition
will be held early this week though
it is probable that the result will be
announced before the meeting of the
Cincinnati Convention, when it will
be laid before that body. 1t is claim
ed that large number of Democrats,
are i'll favor of an Endorsement of the
Labor candidates by the Democratic
National Convention, and ifthat class
Of Democrats get the controlling III

it is believed that course will be pur.
