What congressman Think-What
the People Think.

Mr.. Bowles of the springfield Re
publican writes from Washington that
more than one-half the Republican
members ofCongress regard the NOM
ination Of Gen. Grant as calculated to
divide the party.
With all respect for the talent and
editorial sagacity of Mr. Bowles, we
insist that the fact he mentions proves
nothing against Grants availability
as candidate. When Mr.. Lincoln
was renominated he had not Sena-
tor OIL Representative in his favor.
And more than that, B. F. Wade and
Henry Winter Davis, among the very
leaders in the republican ranks, had

The Opposition did their utmost to
make this square fight on the Ad
ministration issue, and they must &C
cept their defeat on the ground. Ii
was made by them, so far as lay in
their power, a fight on President
Grant. Every element of opposition
to him and his administration was
brought into play. So-called "Libe:-
al Republicans" united with the Dem
ocrats in making the contest per
sonal ohe. and supplied material for
carrying it on with yigor and bitter
ness. The numerous charges of
Grants completely in fraud and cor
ruption, made without even a colora
bic ground for suspicion, were intend
ed to affect the New Hampshire and
Connecticut elections. The speech
es of Sumner and Schurz, saturated
clear through, as they were, with per-
sOnal malice, were printed and circu-
lated by tens of thousands as cam
paign documents against the Repub-
lican candidates. Local issues were
ignored or kept in the back ground,
and scandalous stories in connection
with the Administration persistently
kept In view. On this, the first bat
tie field of the campaign, every train
ed soldier and raw recruit, every vol
unteer and drafted man, every bounty
jumper and camp hummer, every pol
itical weapon from riflcd cannon to
damaged fint-lock shotgun, were
called intorequisition for the purposes
of fdefeating-nots so much the Repub
lican party, as the Administration.
The result is before the country.
The people of New Hampshire have
given the most emphathic verdict pos
sible in favor of the Administration.
They have branded as unwarranted
and malicious the slanders heaped on
President Grant and his administra-
ton. They have stamped the course
OF Sumner, Schurz, and their coad-
tutors as unpatriotic and malignant.
They have not only expressed their
unshaken confidence in the Republi
can party, but their belief in the hon
est purpose of President Grant to ad-
minister the affairs of the country
faithfully and justly.
The foes of President Grant have
managed their case bunglingly. In
stead of destroying him, as intended
they have strengthened his hands.
Each SANDER, as fast as refuted, crea-
ted reaction in favor of the subject
of the SANDER, and the revulsion OF
public sentiment in New Hampshire
on Tuesday was due in a greet meas
ure to the efforts Of the Opposition to
make it purely Administration con.
test and to the disgust felt by the
people at the dishonorable means
used TO destroy the Administration in
the eyes of the public.
New Hampshire has made the re-
nomination of Grant at Philidelphia
almost certainty. A continuance
of the same tactics in the Connecticut
elect in will place his reelection il
November beyond a peradventure.--

e. Zimm erman, who formerly edi-
ted the Union of this pace, says, in
his paper, Valparaiso (Ind) Messen
ger, oflast week:
The defeat Of the Democracy of
New Hampshire points Enthusiastically
to Judge David Davis, of Illinois, as
tue coming man for the Presidency.
The Democratic party cannot alone
elect President. They might just
as well make up their minds at once to
abandon the ideaofrunning a straight
out Democrat and yield to the newt
able. Judge Davis, though Repub-
lican in politics, is man of unim-
peachable character, and would make
President in whom all parties could
place implicit confidence. Let the
Reform Republicans be assured that
the Democracy will acquiesce in them
and the defeat of Grant is forgone
conclusion. We announce ourselves
in favor Of Davis and Parker fer
President and Vice President.

.HISEPPE MAXXINI.

In the death of this distinguished
gentleman and soldier whose name
heads this article, Italy is. called up
on to mourn the loss of one of her
aElest and noblest defenders and pat
riot. Mazzini was true gentlem eman,
an accomplished scholar and an un-
daunted Republican. His whole life
has been spent in efforts to promote
the cause of Italian liberty, and,
thank Gcd, he was permitted to live
and see, not only wonderful progress,
but the establishment Of Italian Uni
ty.
He died, "Honored throughout the
world as u man of Spartin-like purity
and simplicity, patriot whom no
adverse fortune could daunt, and
who counted no suffering or privation
too great which could in any way pro-
mote the cause to which he had con-
secrated his life

Speaking out for Grant.

And now comes Little Rhodv, with
its demand for denomination of Gen
eral GRANT. Thus one after another
they fall into line. Wisconsin, Ken
lucky and Rhode Island have held
their Republican State Convention,
and in each the expression of conf
dence in General Grant ana the de
sire for his denomination were hearty
aud unanimous. The unanimity of
sentiment thus early iE the campaign
is indicative of the future. There is
now but little question that General
Grant will be renominated at Phila-
delphia, and that probably without
opposition.
1t is easy to talk about "packed
conventions" and manufactured
sentiment; "about resolutions .'rusn
ed through and depression of con-
fdence furnished to "order" but it is
not so easy to make people. believe
such talk. The question of General
Grants denomination has been for
months before the public and has
been canvassed with great earnest
ness and no little acrimony. No
labor has been spared to degrade him
in the eyes of the people and to pre-
vent anything looking like an en-
dorsement of him. 1t was thoroughly
understood that in every Republican
State Convention the matter would
undoubtedly come up, and the action
of each convention would have i'm
portant effect IN shaping the national
campaign. When, therefore, three
Republican State Conventions in
quick succession-in fact almost
simultaneously-heartily endorse
General GRANT and lis administra-
ton of affairs, express mistaken
confidence in him, and unanimously
instruct their delegates to vote for
his denomination, and all this with
out word of dissent, there can be
no mistaking the set Of the popular
current That General Grant is to
be the choice of the Philadelphis
Convention is already q foregone
conclusion.-ClcveiaHd Herald.

Schlirz and the Germans.

A letter to the Buffalo Commercial
Advert;ser, signed "a GernianS Re-
publican" and which we publish by
request Of one of our German fellow
citizens, gives the following as his
estimate of Schurz:
It is astonishing to see the vindi-
cative opposition of Senator Carl
Schurz TO the present Administration.
But 1t is characteristic Of the man.
In 1S4S he came here, fugitive from
justice(to save his neck) from the
country whose overthrow he sought
and worked for. He was willing
to deluge the whole of Germany my
fatherland) in blood. And for what
Nothing else but selfish ambition.
This country received him and gave
him citizens right. 1t has protect
ed him thus far and honored him
since with office. In 1850, when lie
enlisted as Republican (save the
mark y, he was called s.the Red
mouthed dutchman' by the avery men
into whose hands he is now playing
The same pack Of copperheads and
traitors were for hanging his head

side of the gibbet to balance JEFF.
Davis.
Schurz boasts Of the German vote,
and is for sale to the highest bidder
but lie will fail of selling US Germans !;
he may make the sale but the delivery
viii be doubtful. He has about as
much control over the German vote
as satan had over the country he
showed to the Savior. Schurz need
not SO deceive himself, for we know
his motives and spurn such leader
assshe pretends to be. He has proven
himself false and not for the frs
time neither.

The following is the County Cen
tral Committee as re. elected:
CYRUS SEARS, Sec'y.

We have noticed for years that our
State Republican Platforms of Prin-
ciples, are the result Of only a few
hours deliberation. Like laws, which
are hastily rushed through at the
closing session of legislative body,
these platforms often contain assaila-
bic, weak points, because not sufii-
cientiy considered before hand.
We therefore suggest that arrange
lnents be made by which the Com
mittee on resolutions for our ap-
preaching State Convention, will he
afforded ample time in which to thor
oghiy consider and prepare the plat
form of principles with which the Re
publieans of Ohio will 60 before the
country and fight the battle before
them with unquestionable success.

1t is fact that the recent resigna-
tion of Col. Forney, as Collector of

q little when they read Mr. Forney's
recent speech at Philadelphia,

The New York Times, thus con-
eludes it's editorial announcing the
Republican triumph in New Hamp-
shire:
The people of New-Hampshire are
q sensible, business-like folk, accus-
toned to look into facts with their
own eyes, and weigh all things for
themselves. They have heard the
President charged with corruption.
They have seen him striving in all
directions to break down corruption.
They have heard him charged with
completely in Custom House abuses.
They have seen him endeavoring TO
break down those abuses. They
have heard him accused Of intention
ally keeping up corrupt Civil Service
for the purpose of providing for his
friends. They have seen him intro
duce a system of Civil Service reform,
prepared by men of spotless inte gritty
and unsullied honor, like George
William Curtis. They have heard
him charged with dishonoring the
country. They have seen him main
tanning the honor of his country at
homo and abroad, and faithfully per
farming his duty towards all sections
and persons-if with a mistake now
and then, at least always with good
faith and honest purpose. What
they see with their eyes has more
weight with them than what they
hear with tneir ears. They are not
ready to turn upon President Grant
at the instigation of knot of disap-
pointed politicians. They have now
said, in effect, 1--WE believe you have
doue well; 60 on and do better"
And the effect of such encouragement
is ordinarily to cause q man to do
better. Had the party and the Ad
ministretion gone before New Hamp-
shire with bad cause, no amount of
canyassing or speechifying could
have secured this victory. The peo-
pie as we have said, judge for them
selves. We have not the slightest
doubt that the verdict of New Hamp-
shire will be repeated in Connecticut,
and afterward in other States; aud il
the professional politicians are sur
prised, we shall have the satisfaction
of seeing il proved once more that
the professional politicians do not
govern this country, but that its af-
fairs are in the hands of the sober,
thoughtful tax paying citizens.

The large majority of German

The Rally Last Friday Evening.

Notwithstanding it was rain and mud
last Friday evening, Union Hall was
even more full than at Col. Joyce's meet
ing two weeks previous. Considering the
weather it was unprecedented for this
place. and at no time since 1886, have
the people come out so easily and so gen.
orally to attend political meetings. BY
good fortune, the Hon. Dudley G. Den.
nison of Royalton happened to be here,
and the meeting was addressed by him
and Judge Poland. The latter made a
strong speech, showing the trouble with
Sumner, Banks, Farnsworth, &c, and al
so showed and proved the economy, sound
ness and ability of the present administra-
ton. Mr.. Dennison showed the unqes-
tionable secession record of Horace Gree
ley, and gave an amusing account of the
attempt of the " Liberals to make him
their candidate for governor, from which
it appears that his daughter wrote that
very excellent letter declining the offer
of the Lbs, and which ''sent them whirl-
ing up" White River Valley.
The Band played finely, especially
their last piece in the Hall, and the
meeting proved success and forerun-
ner we trust (weather permitting OF
