acceptance is certain; and as he has
energy, money and ambition, vigorous
campaign is assured.
Hon. A. 2. Edgerton, the regular
Democratic nominee for Governor of In
diana, declines to run against Hendricks,
but will, on no consideration, favor Gree
ley. He will vote for O'Conor.
In Pennsylvania. according to the
Philadelphia american, the Republican
prospects are daily improving, and ma.
iority of 10000 on the state ticket is
confidently predicted. The american
says: 1--WE shall probably give two Con-
gressmen- at-large, and there is good rea-
son to believe that at least one Demo
cratic Senator will be replaced by sound
Republican.
The modesty of Gen. Grant is in beau
tiful contrast with the insane love of
notority which characterizes Gaeeley.
Grant never boasted Of his military ex-
ploits; Greeley never misses an oppor-
tunity to say that he has been wonder

tation to the former. Grant travels for
ing repaired Greeley swings around
the circle of all the western cities to gra-
fifty hi. s..vanity and love of display; Grant,
h, l,,f,,
and statesman, leaves the result to the
judgment of free people; Greeley is
begging for the support of his ancient
enemies and playing the political dema-
gogue. Which as a man is best EMIT
led to the confidence and admiration of
the country?
For long time bitterly opposed to
the re- election of Gen. Grant, the New
York Post is candid enough to say
Our regard for the character and SER
vices Of the President is stirred into uen-
thusiasm by our keen sense Of the scanda
lous injustices, Of the aspersions which he
has too, much self-respect and retience
to deny
The New York Commercial Adverti-
ser says:
Hon. Fred. Horn, of Wisconsin,
announces himself as an independent
candidate for Congress. and thinks the
Democracy will accept him. He is un-
doubtedly light. We never heard of
Democrat refusing Horn yet.
Judge Edmonds, Of the Republican
Congressional Committee, gives the
facts concerning thes Cincinnati Volts
blatt's attempted blackmailing scheme.
The negotiations were set On foot by
well-known politicians, but the Washing
ton committee refused to have anything
to do with the matter. Efforts were
made to raise the money in New York,
but they were not fully successful and

backwardness of the party, Topped over
to Greeley.
The trials of Tweed, Conolly, Hall. and
the remainder Of the Tammany gang are
ordered to take place in October. This
is great blow to Greeley, in whose be-
half the Tammany thieves are working
with vigor, and whose time, just prior
to the election, is of the utmost value to
his cause Great efforts will be made by
the adherents of the philosopher to Sc
cure the postponemept of the hearing.
The mutations of party sometimes
bring people into queer situations. For
example, Mr.. Schurz is now the friend
and compatriot of 7. A. Hendricks, who
called him ''the lying Dutchman - of
Turpie, who said that ''the portrait of
Carl Schurz could be found in every
rogue s gallery in Europe - of D. ".
Voorhees,. who called him ''foul-mou-
thed Dutch VIPER and of Bingham,
who likened him to "a yelping cur, bar
king at the heels Of Stephen A. Dou
glas.' 1t was the indianapolis Sentinel,
now Greeley paper, that called him
''mercenary Hessian who would fight
on either side for pay If Mr.. Schurz S
memory is good he must feel decidedly
amiable among his new friends.
