wards those men who have not made poi
tics a study, and wire working a trade.
Upon these men it is our purpose to urge
our views calmly and kindly, but with all
the earnestness in our power. We are
satisfied that the reasons we can assignfor
the support of Mr. Greeley are sufficient to
influence the most rabid Democrat and the
most determined Southerner who desiresto
advance the interest of his section, and
who is not blinded by personal prejudice.
Even if a formal nomination shall be
made at Louisville, it will be most ride
ulous supposition to expect the Louisville
ticket to carry single State. The strong
est supporters of General Grant admit this,
and the New York Evening Post goes so
far as to say ''it is for this very reason that
we desire to see them meet"
The only possible effect, therefore, of a
nomination by the Louisville Convention
will be to draw off votes from Mr.. Greeley.
But will any nomination be made there?
We think il is extremely doubtful, and this
brings US to our second point, the power of
judicious advertising.
| If the Louisville Convention turns out to
be anything save a disgraceful failure, it
will be entirely owing to the power OF
printers ink.
No patent medicine was ever more syS-
te1natically advertised" before the public
than has been Blanton Duncan and his So
called Convention.
Nor have the telegraph and the mails
been idle. Indeed, the whole power OF
Grants administration has been exerted to
give the affair an imp ortance and a digni-
ty to which it is not entitled.
So far as we have heard, in North Caro-
lima there has been no pretence of holding
any meeting of "straight Dem ocrats ex.
cept in Newbern, and among the names
Of those who participated in that meeting
We were unable to recognize the name Of
a single Democrat of either good or bad
standing.
In Georgia, Notwithstanding the great
influence of Mr.. Stephens, delegates have
been appointed in only few counties.
So far as we know there has been nc
pretence even of any organized action OF
the part of {" straight Democrats in any
other Southern State.
These are the facts of the case; yet, i
we credit the kilograms and the Radica
papers, the movement is d formidable one
1t may be that men of straw will be pu

How TO Dress the Hair.

A Saratoga correspondent gives this
chapter ON hair, impaired to him by a lady
friend:
Every lady is crazy over the mode clds-
siquo. The Greeley corner caught it first,
and yesterday afternoon Jenny Wood, tie
pretty hair-dresser here, had almost every
lady in the house after her. What is won
derful, the ligh-hair mania has started with
he dressy married ladies. The young la
lies don't seem to knoW or care anything
about it, In fact, the young ladies are
leaving all the dressing here this year to
their stylish mothers. Nobody knows what
to ell the new style, but it's got to come.
The Dolly Vardens started here in Sara
Oga two years ago, and SO did the Gre
ian Bend and now the new high hair
tyle is coming i'll vogue. 1t should not lie
called the mode ctassigue, but rather the
mode refqsSsW}ce, for the laties whose
heads are dressed after it look as if they
had just stepped from a cut cameo of 1900,
or from a portrait painted in the renqis-
SGfce period"

Andrew .IOh4lSOn,

greatest efficiency, we have determined TO
increase our subscription lists to the largest

want to make it still larger.

two years ago, in the hope of being sus.
tanned by Government advertising in

establish q Democratic journal upon a
solid basis at the capital, and to render
it ut least partially worthy of the high
mission in which it engaged, wo are

has failed to realize our hopes, and to
announce that the Patriot will be sus-
pended after to-day. In undertaking
this responsible task, tho original found
ers, and the friends who generously con-
tributed of their means to hid the enter
prise, were aware of the serious difficul.
