The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-03-07


The Advertiser Is filed with a new
ound love for Sumner, Schurz, Trum- /
bull, Upton, etc. That love will 4
last until it sees that the course Of 1
these men do not iniure the Republi- |
can party. Then it will return to its /
abuse Of them as in the past.
The Missouri Democrat makes this /
point. 'Tn spite Of his professions
and disayowals, Schurz's animus in /
the arms business escaped him the
other day, when on MortOn's showing, /
by reading the law in the case, that
the power to sell arms was vested ex-
clusively in the War Department,
SchUrz asked IL the President had not
power TO stop such sales. The terms
of the law showed that he had not,
and Sehurz was silent. This happened
after he had automatically declared
though nobody believed him-that
be proposed not to arraign the Presi-
dent nor the Secretary Of War"
Gratz Brown, Of Missouri, is hard
at work trying to receive the nomi-
nation Of President at the Liberal"
Convention at Cincinnati. He is
sending letters and circulars to all
persons throghout the country, whom
he thinks weak enough to fall in with
the movement, asking them for their
support. he expects the Democracy
will fa1 in and support whomsoever
that Convention may nominate. The
Democracy can do no better, as the
bottom is out Of the party; but then
Gratz won't be nominated.
The stock holders Of the Baltimore,
Pittsburg & Continental Railroad
Company met in Kenton Tuesday and

A statement was made by Mr.. Hunt
Of the work through Western Ohio,
Indiana and in Chicago, after which
the meeting adjourned. Immediate
" after the adjournment Of the stock
holders meeting, the board Of direct
ors meet and organized by the cleo
ton Of L. T. Hunt, President; ThOm-
as Espy, Secretary, and Gen. David
Thomson, Treasurer. The Re
publican thinks the project can
be worked up and be made a success.
Gen. Brown, the Republican nomi-
nee for Governor ofIndiana, is bound
to win If hard work will gain the
prize. He has promised to make $50
speeches before election day.
The New York Tribune insists that
because Forney's paper stated that
Grant, during his first candidacy, was
in favor Of the one term system for
President, and If he was not, he should
have had the statement corrected.
Possibly he should, but does Greeley
try to deny or correct all the state
ments published about him Does
he, for instance, deny the farming
ideas so thickly piled upon him?
A Democrat tells us that the State
Democratic Committee at its last
meeting adjourned till June, without
action that the party might clay low
for skunks." We hope the skunks
they get from the Republican party
will go to them with the "small end"
first.
The circulation of Chandler's speech
es under Tipcon's frank, Schurz's un-
der that Of Morton's, TrumbuII's un-
der Conkling's frank, and BIair's un.
der all the above, has been explained.
1t appears that a lot Of speeches by
the above gentlemen had been accu-
mulated, and several bags of each
kind Of speeches were sent out to put
in wrappers, and the persons receiv-
ing them folded them, inclosed them
in wrappers, threw the whole into
one pile, and then refiIed the sacks
from the mixture, and each Senator
received an assortment, and thus in
time their correspondents were an
noyed at the character of the litera-
ture they received.
Voorhees, refuses to be the DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor in In
diana.
A Liberal" Republican movement
has been tried in Kansas, and failed.
There the Germans utterly refused
to follow the lead Of sOre-heads.
