SOME COMMENTS OVER TEE RE
MAINS OF A PICKED AND Elk
HAUSTED POLITICAL BLADDER.


this one has. The iavineibiity of the
Republican party has been made SO de-
cisively manifest as to leave no room fol-
doubt Of the result in the minds of OBJ
servant men. New Hampshire and Or
iegon astonished even the most hopeful
friends of the party; North Carolina and
West Virginia wee indie ltions of the
current of popular feeling in doubtful
sections, and when Vermont and Maine
spoke npon the question: those
communities which had longest read
Horace Greeley's editorials and most i'm
plcitly trusted him had signifed their re-
pudiation of his candidacy-then was the
question settled. 1t is folly for Greeley
and his friends and new found allies to
attempt arousing in the West the mock
enthusiasm which, for space, had effer-
vescence in the East. Such mere sensa-
tons in politics as the Cincinnati NOM
nations were, cannot long survive
the collapsingo of their self-infation; they
must not be suffered to subside from the
high pressure strain with which they
were first launched upon the political
tide. A mere bubble has no consistency
from which repairs and restoration can be
made when once itself is burst What
was started as mere furore cannot, af-
ter having once suhsidsd, be re-aroused.
The effects of political exhilerating gas
are but briefly temporary.
Look at the utter emp tiness of ali that
was advertised as their ck-in-t-ade by
the political thinkers who set up their
intinerant and vagabond repair shop in
Cincinnati. There Is not the first origi-
nal proposition in ANYTHING they have
said; nothing honest nor earnest in what
they have done The so-called Liber-
ais started out upon the merest pretext:
their allies at Baltimore merely adver-
tised their desperate Willingness to at
tempt accomplishing by indirection what
they have So long failed to achieve by di-
rect means Who beiierts an the sincerity
