The Last Hope of the Democracy.

The nomination of Judge Davis for the
Presidency, by the Labor Reform Con-
vention, at Columbus, Ohio, on the 22d
st, was the first gleam of comfort for
the Respondent Democracy that they have
had for some time. Having worked per-
aistently to divide the Republicans, and
to bring odium upon the Administration,
by a deluge of lies and SANDERS, they find
that the answer of the people is unani-
nous for Grant. Their disgust and dis
appointment is lily concealed just as
their joy is speedily manifested if ''any-
thing turns up" which looks like dividing,
and thereby destroying, the great party
which has so long and so often stood be-
tw cen them and the coveted power to
rule the country. 1t is evident that they
are not particular about principles nor
the candidate. Anybody to beat Grant, J"
is the Slogan under which they rally
Hence the nomination of Judge Davis is
responded to with alacrity by the leading
Democratic journals. The Chicago
Times thinks Davis sis peculiarly fitted
to unite the strength of all parties and all
people without respect to parties, who
are opposed to the present administra-
tion.' These labor reformers are con-
graduated by the Times, upon their
excellant and most judicious selection, y"
which will, it says, advance the common
eause"-that is, the defeat of Grant. SO
thought the Democratic State Central
CoHmitte of Illinois, who were in session
at Chicago on the same day, and. upon
receiving telegram of the doings Co.
lumbas, adjourned until May. without
action in relation to the appointment OF
delegates to their own National Conven-
tiea. preferring to know, we suppose,
what the Liberal Republican" Conven-
ton may do at Cincinnati. If they noml-
nate Davis, alse. aad there is prospect
of considerable division of the Re publi-
can party. then the ''possum Democra-
cv' will arouse itself from it's pretended
sleep, and make a nomination; but if
thiags look as discour2giRg as at present.
they will make common cause" with all
the odds and ends Of political opposition
to the Republican party, and present no
nomination. 1t; is, of course, no. certain
that Judge Davis will accept the nomina-
ton of the labor reformers, with their
greenback platform and the payment Of
the national debt according to ''the origl-
nal contract" which means paper money.
Having been Whig in ancient times,
he is likely to be too conservative on
in relation to tariffs, TO suit the hot head
ed free-uaders and reformers, who are
expected to make common cause in his
support. But if 'Barkis is willin the
hopeless and dead-heat politicians of the
Democratic party will swallow every in
consistency Ito beat Grant. But will

leaders again to almost certain defeat P

of them will vote the Republican ticket.
Whatever view can be taken of the polit-
ical situation at this time. it looks as if
no contingency could prevent the re-elec-
ton of Gen. Grant.-INa. Sentinel.

WHILE the baser sort of newspaper

WHILE the baser sort of newspapers
and politicians In England and America
continue to breathe forth threatenngs and
slaughter. the more judicious hold fast to
the policy of discretion and expectation
The indications from Washington are that
our Government will indulge in no retorts
or recriminations, but will stand firm in
the position it has taken. leaving TO Eng
land the grave responsibility Of withdraw
ing from the treaty if SO disposed. 1t
Gu ght not to be forgotten that the ques
ton ofinterpre;a alton is one which belongs
to the Board of Arbitration; that we
have committed no fraud in negotiating
the Treaty, and have been guilty of no
impropriety in giving it the construction
we intended when we adopted it; that,
having presented our case, it remains for
the Arbitrators, and not the English press,
nor even the English Cabinet, to say
whether our claims are excessive or not;
that if the Treaty stands, and the Board
of Arbitration gives its award, we intend
to accept it; and if Great Britain with
draws, we shall be left in better attitude
| than we occupied before the Washington
Conference. while that of England will be
| much more difficult. In this state of af
fairs it is evident that any heroic bluster
on our part is wholly unnecessary. Our
position is SO strong that it does not need
to be fortified with words-N Y Tri-

A Washington dispatch contains the
following political gossip
''1he position assumed insthe Senate
by Senator Trumbuuil was unexpected,
and is the general theme of conversation
in political circles. The understanding
was that Trumbull would not take part
in the arms sale discussion, but it now
appears that it was his intention to speak
from the first. The administration re-
CARDS him as practically gone over to the
opposition, though Trumbull's friends
say he will abide by the decision of the
Philadelphia Convention.
1t is not improbable that if Judge Da-
Wis is nominated for President by the
Democracy, the dissatisfied Republicans
will concentrate upon Dlm. The impress
sion gains ground that Davis will lead all
the elements opposed 70 Grant.

RUSSIA RETURNS TO REAsoN.-The
astounding news now is that Russia. in
order to outhank the Austrian policy in
Gallicia, is about to attempt to concili-
ate the Poles, by conceding to them a
certain colonial independence and resur-
rection. If this decision is really arrived
at, the whole civilized world will rejoice;
and the joy will not be diminished by the
circumstance that the good resolution is
founded on . selfish competition with
Austria. When great nations shall cease
to be rivals in oppression, and become
rivals only in the more generous work of
breaking chains and lifting up the op-
pressed, the world will surely seem to be
advancing.
1t is certain that Austria never made
surer step in the light, and never made
a move better calculated to strengthen
her government in the hearts of her own
people, than when she conceded political
autonomy to Hungary, pardoned the
TRAITORS" of '4s, and called to the head
of affairs, as her Prime Minister, Count
Andrassy, convicted rebel sentenced to
the gallows as felon in 40 This is a
rivalry which Russia, old and steady
going as she is, can well afford to emulate.

THERE is strong probability that Gen.
Grant will be the choice of the Philadel-
phia Convention, viewed from news
paper standpoint; but he should not re-
ceive the nomination unless he is the
choice of the people. While Grant is our
individual choice aud We believe the high
est good Of the country will be conserved
by his re election, We feel that none but
honorable and legitimate means should
be used to secure his re nomination. The
cause for fear, however, from dishonest
practices is on the other side. Some
scheeming and sharp practice may be ex-
pected TO defeat Gen. Grant.
The Democrats and few restless Re-
publicans have had their wits at work for
the last year and half to fiud something
to lessen the popularity of the present
Administration. They have hunted the
whole ground over from the West India
Islands to the St Lawrence river; from
the Pacific to the Atlantic. They sup
posed they had driven the shrewd gener-
al to iumping off place in San Domingo.
Ia this move they got foiled. They press

vestigation showed his measures wise aud
needed. They now think that they have
got the victim of their persecution at a
disadvantage in the New York Custom

lost in his games OF generalship with poll

Grant and the People.
From the Eennsbec Journal.

From the kenDebec Journal.
An editorial in the Boston Journal Of
Thursday speaks of the popularity OF
Grant in decided terms. In spite OF the
opposition manufactured at Washing
ton, and other localities frequented by
disappointed and therefore di5affected re-
publicans, the Journal sees no diminu-
ton in the strength of Grant. no gain in
the opposition. The Journal is fair
and reliable index of public opinion, and
its words will be received with conf
dence. After discussing current events
relating to the Presidency, the Journal
closes its article as follows:
''For our own part, We think we know
the Republican sentiment of New Eng
land as we'll as we know the typography
and make up of the columns of this pa
per, and we find it wholly and heartily
for Grant. When we say wholly we dc
not mean to deny that there are here and
there ibdividuals-well mc aning and ex-
cellent Republicans, many of them-who
are opposed to Gen. Grants renomina-
ton; but take the vote iu every city
ward and every county school district,
and these men would nowhere find them
selves in anything like majority
Practically, then. to use an old political
phrase, New England is solid for Grant,
and we are unable to see any ground for
doubling his exceptional popularity here.
Among the Republican presses and
gatherings of the Middle States, the
West and the South, we note the eyi-
dences Of the same appreciation. 1t is
not simply that the President has done
tolerable we'll in office, and that no Re-
publican statesman appears to be marked
out to the popular eye as his successor;
but he has acquitted himself to the
downright acceptance and satisfaction of
the people of this Union.
Of course he has made mistakes and
he has his shortcomings, but our people
have never yet looked for angels in Of
fee, and they have never been disap-
pointed, from the days Of Washington
until now. But they did not expect in
Grant. and they have found, IN honest
man. This is not everything, to be
sure, but it is an indispensable thing, and
the people are not so c,oyed with honest
officers bat they still appreciate them.
Grants administration has been the
hardest time for rogues-even admins
tration rogues-that was ever known.
1t has done all that was possible to paci-
fly, a country rent in civil war; it has
made equal rights the corner stone OF
the regenerated republic, and it has as
tonished the world by its success in re.
deeming its plighted faith. In short.
the people see that they can accomplish
ali that they want under Grant as well
as under any other man that could be
mentioned, while he is growing more
serviceable every year, and is the easiest
man in the whole country to elect. Hence
passive policy or old democratic policy,
tends at Washington or scheming among
rural politicians, it will amount to the
same thing-President Grant is sure te
be re-nominated and reelected.
