THE New York Erening Post is
not satisfied with either Presidential
candidate, but, like the Nation, re-
CARDS Grant as the safest choice for
all honest-minded Liberal Republic
cans. Of the aims of his opponents
it gives this vigorous summary, which
is not bad, coming from one of the
most influential promoters of the Gin
cinnati movement in the country:
"The Democrats picked up Greeley
and cheated the Cincinnati Conven-
ton out of all the senses they pos
sessed. They relied upon the suppo-
sition of his popularity there, and
there were never so many men, in so
short a space of time, made fools of
before. They mean to play that lit
tie game over again with the whole
country, trusting that with the sound
of a notorious name they will cheat
enough Republicans into putting
them into power, with President
whom they think they can manage,
and a Congress which, in the confu-
sion, they mean to make their own.
This is the precious scheme to which
some short-sighted reformers are lead
ing themselves, and to which, it is
hoped, Republicans will be party.
Should it unhappily be successful, it
will fastcn the Democratic party of
the war upon the country for the next
dozen years, if not for the rest of this
century. Is the country prepared to
submit to that dispcnsation ~
"Any body to beat Grant" as a
political slogan, seems to be growing
fainter and fainter.

Deaths from SunstrOke

The New York Tribune of the I'd
SAYS: The number 70 cXpedients de-
vised for protection and relief from
the heat has given the streets for
eign aspect. Suits of white linen
or gauze'likc cloth form a sea, in
which dark and heavier dresses are
the rarest specks. Even the jaunty
costumes which are usually worn at
ordinary summer heat have nccessar-
ily been sacrificed for less elegant and
more comfortable material.
At 3 p. NJ, yesterday, the thcr-
mometer again ranged at 80 degrees
at 9 A. NJ. it marked 81 degrees, and
at 5P. NJ. 81 degrees. Several times
during the afternoon promising
clouds passed over the city, and an
ticipations of refreshing storm were
stimulated, but no moisture fell to
cool the heated pavement or clear the
atmosphere. Cases of sunstroke to
men and horses multiplied, and street
ear travel was somewhat seriously
impeded At various points of the
line each of the railroad companies
had several reserve teams to substi-
tute for others that mi !, ht be injured.
Urchins tempted wayfarers with
dusty ice-water at "a penny glass"
served in jagged cups, and a legion
of newsboys and shoeblacks temper
arily retired from their regular voca-
tions to ply more lucrative trade in
fans.
The terrible result of the heat may
best be judged from the statement
that nearly seventy persons died yes
terday from sunstrokc, and proper
tionately large number were injured.
In several cases men being exposed
to the fierce rays of the sun were
compelled to suspend work.

ii has been the one constant. un-
failing source of qualification to the
Democracy when beaten, to assert
that truth is mighty and will
prevail" and that the .'immuta-
bic, Interchangeable principles of their
creed, taught by the immortal Jeffer-
son, were undying, and through them
their organization would live forever"
Processing TO thus believe, they have
persistently asserted that all their ac-
iions were squared by the Jefferson
ian creed, and that the tenets of their
opponents were not only founded in
error, but diametrically opposed to
the fundamental law of the land. In
fact there is scarce q doctrine held by
the Republican party, that they have
not constantly proclaimed TO be. un-
constitutional, and the burthen of
their cry against every measure en-
acted into law since the rebellion, has
been its unconstitutionalitv. OF the
friends of these so-styled unconstitu-
tional doctrines and laws, there has
been no ADLER, more persistent, or
more offensive advocate, than HoR-
ACE GREELEY, and none to-day, who
processes to adhere more firmly to
then than does he. And vet, it is
gravely proposed by the leaders of
the Democratic party, to adopt this
man, with a platform composed of
those dctested principles, as a candi-
date and a creed, for a party repudi-
ating both, but a brief month since.
That this will be done we have no
doubt, and its doing will be the
greatest tribute ever paid to truth,
justice and morality, by its enemies.
1t will be the first time in the worlds
history, that powerful and well or
ganized political party grounded the
arms of its opposition, and accepted
the faith of its opponents But in
what a position does it place its ac-
ccptsntsy They thereby admit that.
heretofore they have been teachers Of
false doctrines, that their much viii
icd opponents have been right, and
they wrong, and virtually that, they
are not fit to be entrusted with the
reins of a government whose interest,
power and scope they did not compre-
bend. They also disband their or
ganization and assent to the fact that,
wrong in its aims. it was deservedly
a lamentable failure. To this COM
plexion has the once proud Democracy
come at last. We do not wish to
make more poignant their mortifica-
ton by exulting in their surrender,
but we must not fail to improve the
occasion by pointing out TO the young
and inexperienced, that there is no
true faith and no political salvation
outside the Republican party. We
further exhort all former Democrats
who will not vote for GRANT to meek
Is accept the only alternative, and
embrace the gospel according to
GREELEY; believing as we do, that
his well known philanthrophy will in
duce him to guard their inexperienc-
ed feet from walking in the ways
that lead to social equality and mis-
cegenation, with the few colored
brethren found in his following.
Come: come, We impenitent; forget
not the blessed promise, that
While the lamp holds ou, To burn
The riIcsf sinner may return.
