and giving 4 hopeful report, and after no

cal party and the tendency towards ccntrall
cation in the Government, he reverted to tic

the speaker denounced these tactics, as well a.

The speaker then reverted to the efforts o
the Grant Republican press to blacken hi
character. These newspapers praised hin
till he exposed the corruption of the custom
house of New York. Then they began abus
ing him. Again, when Mr.. Greeley wa
nominated, the Times lcgan TO praise tin
speaker, and to say he would not give hi
support to the CINCINNATI nominee. Whel
he however, spoke in their favor, the Gran
newspapers, and notably the Times, began
again to attack him. The speaker then re
capitulated the charges he had made agains
the Administration, and showed that tit
result would be TO make the elections
iarce--like the plcbiscite of Napoleon.
