LOSS TO THE LIBERALS.

SO far as we can judge the Liberal Re-
publicans have lost ground in the Repub-
lican party since the nominations at Gin
cinnati. There is no doubt but that the
brains and honesty of the convention was
for Adams. Had it been fairly beaten, it
would have acquiesced and rendered the
ticket a support. But defeated by notori
Gus bargain and corruption, it does not
propose to surrender. This element
is represented by Governor Cox, Judge
Stanley Matthews, Judge Hoadley
and Judge Brinkerhoff in Ohio. The
same disaffection shows itself in the sup
port Of BowIes and Halstead, which is
not unconditional but half-hearted and
apologize.
But the most serious loss to the Liberals
is the German element which now prom
ises to abandon ii cR n0sSc. The GratZ
Brown row with Schurz and the abuse
heaped upon the latter by most of the
Brown delegates, has made the Senator's
position embarrassing. 1t is not probable
that he will support Grant, but he can
not give the Brown ticket the support of
the German element. A conference of
German editors at Cincinnati representing
an aggregate newspaper circulation of 800, :
600, unanimously decided that they could
not support Greeley and Brown.
These powerful influences the Liberals
have already lost. Their movement as a Re
publican movement is therefore weaker to-
day than before the convention met
What have they gained ? Their only hope
Is IN the Democratic vote. If they get
this at all, they will get but a part of it.
II seem very evident already that the par
~ as an organization will not supp ort
the ticket As We said before, ii pro
misses 10 be divided, let the party
leaders take what action they will.
Until the Democratic Convention meets,
or until it's action is foreshadowed by nub.

afford hne field to trimmers for speeula-
ton and predictions. Amid all this doubt

AMERICAN LABonrsa MEN.

We rejoice that, under our system of
government, and under the policy which
has prevailed in its administration, Amer
lean labor is the best remunerated labor in
the world. This is as 1t should be, and we
are glad that it is so. We are glad that the
humble mechanic or farmer, may aspire to
rs lofty position in social or political life
us any other man, and with an equal show
of success with any other man, provided
he merits success. Among the greatest
men of the nation, we see those who have
reached the high pinnacle of fame, through
toll, having commenced life in the work.
shop. We have such examples all
over the country. When we con-
slider that such is the case, our hearts
are filled with pride and admiration.
Compare the laboring classes of the United
States with those of the Old World, and
what n difference Here we see them
prosperous, contented, happy. There,
miserable, degraded men and women, OBJ
jects of pity and commiseration. Here,
you can not distinguish the thrifty me-
chanic by his dress from the professional
man or the merchant. There his humble
garb tells the unmistakable story of his
lowly origin and of life marked by con-
tlnuous unrequited toll.
Some idea of the difference in their sta
tiOns in life may be gathered by n COM
pariSon of the prices paid for labor in
Europe and America. The British Foreign
Secretary's report to Parliament of a late
date, gives the following as the average
rate paid TO mechanics in II number of

THE DRouTH.

From every section of East Tennessee
we receive many complaints about the Sc
we're dry weather now threatening our
promising crops. We have within the
past few days made personal observation
of the condition of the crops in upper
East Tennessee and the situation Is pain
full. The prospects for an abundant wheat
crop, until within few days, were very
encouraging. The corn, fruit and grass
Within the past week; however, these
prospects have been lessenej by the unu-
sual drouth now upon us. In the upper
counties of East Tennessee they have not
had rain for over three weeks. A small
shower about ten days ago partly relieved
some of the counties about Knox, but the
hot weather since has placed the crops, es~-
ical situation. The grass in some places
looks as dry as in August. The wheat
may be retarded so that the fly and rustt
will overtake it. The dry spell is so UNI
usual at this season of the year that it is
the subject of wonder and speculation
Cisterns are giving out, wells are slack
and the streams very low for this period.
But East Tennessee is not alone in this
threatened attlictioD. We see from our ex-
changes that in the Atlantic States the,
mills running by water power are pre-
pairing for steam. For two years now they
have suffered from lack of water and tho
prospects for this year are so discouraging
that they propose to get ready for othet'
motive power.
We see it predicted that when we do
get rain we shall have an abundance, and
perhaps an excess of it. In this view it is
well enough for our farmers, as far as pos
sible, to shape their work accordingly.
Our weather reports for few days will be-
eagerly consulted.

WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRACY DO,

This is the question that now seems to
be in everybody's mouth. A few days ago
it was, How do you like the nomina-
ton Pr But now it is, "What are the DEM
ocrats going to do?" Well, it is hard to
tell. They have called National Con-
vention to meet at Baltimore on the
ninth day of July next, when it is
ty will know what is best to be done.
There is certainly very great diversity of
opinion existing among the Democratic
leaders, and but for their great desire to
"beat Grant" it is very certain that ma
jority of them would favor a straight
Democratic nomination. AS we have
heard of Democrat stating it, "thev
would cast their votes for hanging Gree
ley, but are willing to vote for him for
President to defeat Grant,
The entire available strength of the par
ty lies i'll the Southern, or late slaye-hold-
ing States. The sentiment of Democracy
in these States seems to be largely for
Greeley. Southern Democrats are hun
grier than those of the North, and in their
desire for office, reader to accept the stu
alton. 1t Is possible that they, with these
circumstances i'll their favor, NAV be able
to restrain their Northern brethren from
making nomination, and induce them to
support their favorite, Mr. Greeley.
The Courier Journal the most infuen-
IL,
takes this view of the case:
1t is known that neither Mr. Pendleton nor
Dir. Hendricks would accept a nomination
against Greeley and Brown if it were rendered
themi and they regard the union of the entire
opposition upon the Liberal ticket as the sole
hope of defeating Grant, and this is obviously
the sense of the country. 1t must also be the
sense of the Democrats in Congress, or Judge
Davis would not quit the field until he had test
cd his aspirations further by submitting them to
another National Convention. His withdrawal
may be considered in every way conclusive
that, at Washington, the de-in-the-ast-ditch
policy is not favorably considered
The foregoing statement is made in a
double-leaded editorial, but we have the
significant statement from Senator Hen
bricks, in our dispatches this morning
that he Is not committed to the Cincn natl
nominations, but will be governed by the
action of the Baltimore Convention. But
it is altogether too early TO even guess
what the gentlemen who control the
Democratic party will do. We will abide
! our time in patience and see what we shall
see.

Take into consideration that this esti-
mate, which applies to skilled labor alone,
unskilled labor being paid about half
that, and take into consideration further,
the fact that twelve hours constitute in
many places days work, and you can
then draw some idea of the difference in
favor of our workingmen. The average
rate for mechanics in the fifteen
States named is siXty-five cents
per day. The average mechanic in
the United States receives about four
times as much, and the demand is always
equal to the supply. In Europe the labor
ing man is the slave of the capitalist. In
America he has the power to protect him
self and the independence to exercise it.
There he has no voice in public affairs,
which can in any way affect the crown.
Here his influence is potent and he makes
himself felt in social as well as political
circles. We trust this may always be
thus, and that our government, recog-
nizing this, may continue in the future as
has been done in the past, to always exercise
due regard for all measures calculated to
elevate the laboring man.

THE Adams men claim that their favor

upon before hand and carried out to the
letter. When Alabama was called and

II there is one name in this country
more intimately connected with political
corruption of every species than another,
it is that of "BLAIR." In fact the name
has become synonymous with political
vice, official corruption, infamous trick
cry, chicanery aud demagogism. If
there is one man in the United States
more conspicuous than another as politi-
cal mountebank, a political charlatan, that
man is Frank L. Blair. And yet this man
has selected, and by trlckery forced upon a
convention of so-called "reformers," a
ticket for the two highest offices within
the gift of the American people. Schurz,
Trumbull, Greeley and others inspired the
movement and got up the crowd, but

ONE of the planks in the platform of the

to endorse Horace Greeley, will be reso-
luton endorsing the late Thaddeus Ste

reconstruction, so cordially endorsed and
ably defended by Mr.. Greeley, is very ac-
