TUESDAY,. OCTOBER 80, 1879.

The Chicago Tribune feels that Illinois can
not be carried for Greeley, and finds it necessary
10 explain the difficulty 1t seems disposed TO
accuse the democrats of being corrupt and pur-
chasable. Some of them will vote for Greeley:
but ii appears TO regard most of them as a 'bad
lot 1t classes the Illinois democrats as fol
lows: 81. The democrats who will vote for Gree
ley and the liberal tickets for state officers and
congressman; ,. Those who propose to abstain
from voting; and, g. Those whose votes have
been purchased by the Grant organization"
This is one way to explain the weakness of its
presidential ticket; but it can not be regarded
as an honest way. Not many democrats can lie
found, in any part of the country. for whom
that ticket is not "boiled crow" and, if some OF
them turn against it, is it reasonable to see in
this evidence of corruption? To eat this "boiled
crow" and say it is good seems to us much
more suspicious; for who can believe that such
eating is done without price or expectation of
reward? As a rule, the democrats who will
not vote for Greeley, or who will
vote for Grant in order to make
sure of defeating Greeley, are the least pur-
chasable men in the democratic party; and
democrats of this sort appear TO be numerous
in Illinois, as well as in New York and several
other states. The Chicago Tribune's talk of
reform" like most OF its political talk, is a
fraud, falsiacation of its actual position. Ne
eessiiy constraiHs it TO deal dishonesty with
facts. I( it were an honest relormer, it would
tell nothing but the truth Of others, and careful
ly abstain from imputing corrupt motives to
those who will NOT vote as it desires No such
imputaton is necessary to explain the fact that
many democrats will not vote for Greeley
Their motives are not likely TO be misunder

QUoTATIoNs.-Very few persons are aware
how much their common speech is made up OF
quotations. We are all of us profllse quoters
we express ourselves, every hour, in neat
phrases, which the masters of the language have
created Tor us. The poets are continually thus
serving us. Our prose is largely poetic. We
TAX every hour Burns, Pope, Dryden Shake
speare, the old dramatists, and the Englis YER
sion OF the Bible. Not only such expressions
as "A mans man for a. that" "Was every
thing by turns and nothing long" "Not one
out all mankind's epitomc," "He never said a
foolish thing and never did wise one" but the
commoner phrases, "The golden mean" "By
hook or by crook, no The halfis more than the
who'll" Comparisons are odious," have come
down to us through generations Of written and
spoken language, We live upon the felicities of
expression which thousands of other minds
nave created for US. Rhetorical quotation is,
however, passing out Of fashion. The indul-
gence IN il is dangerous practice at best. For
one instance oil success, there are hundreds of
failures. Our age is too busy too much in
earnest TO respect this kind Of ornament Quot
ing the Latin poets is not tolerated in the Brit
ish parliament as it once was. Here, at home,
almost the only famous quoters left are Senator
sumner and Gen. Dix. The latter is usually
tasteful, and the habit becomes him as a gentle
man of the old school; but Mr.. Summers cita-
tons overload his text. They shine like SPAN
giles, and like spangles, are merely sewed on.
The critics charge that some of the borrowed
passages in his speech against Gen Grant were
hunted up with the help Of concordance. Their
effect is TO make this style bizarre, and to give
his productions an air of charlatanism. He re-
minds us Off house Oyerstocked with furniture;
there is so much that the effect is confusing.
Plain dressing is better than oYer-ambitous or
namentation. 1t is safe rule to avoid quota
ton, unless by its use the object Of an address
or essay can be clearly promoted.-The Meth.

Political Notes.

The New York Herald sees its way, is sure
that Grunt will have second presidential term
and says: CAS- soon as the rebellion was sub
dued the Herald advanced the name of Ulysses
s. Grant for the presidency" This shows what
sort ola "tidal wave" is rolling over New York
city and state.
Mr.. John d. DelTees, one OF the inventors of
liberalism, has abandoned the political field and
gone into a legitimate patent right business.
What Defrees goes for must "pay."
The Cincinnati Commercial, Greeley organ,
sums up the results of the October elections,
shiyers, caves in, and says: ave have no doubt
of the safety of the country under the presi-
dency of either Grant or Greeley" The coun-
try, then, must be considered safe.
Ben Lane Posey, whoever he may be- writes
in the Mobile Tribune, giving reasons in a very
elaborate, tedious way to explain why he shall
go for Greeley and Brown. 1t has taken Posey
some time to take that pose, and now that he
has, is ii to be supposed that he will pirouettt
on and after the fifth of November?

the crowd shouted 'Nothng the NATTER" and
they left the dead man, and went on with the

Mr.. i, NJ. CHAMBERLAIN has issued an "ad-
dress of the state central committee of the labor
reform party of Massachusetts" he being chair
man Of that committee. The purpose of it is
TO dissuade labor relormers from voting with
either Of the great parties, in the coming presi-
DENTAL election. One of the notable points in
this address is denial Of the fact that the abo-
lition Of slavery is a work of the republican
party, coupled with an assertion that it twas
the natural result Of conflict between
laborers and capitalists, of which the
present (labor) movement is part" Writing
h story in this way is not likely to be success
full, during the lifetime OF the present genera
ton; and if the controlling motive of the repub-
lican party, in dealing with the labor question,
in its own way, were TO please this committee,
their Justification of its record would not be en-
couraging. Both the great parties are criticised
and repudiated. Both the presidential candi-
dates are described as very unsatisfactory on the
labor question. After an earnest exhortation to
union, the address closes as follows:
"Do this, and the chances of political dema-
gOgues will be diminished. The unity of labor
will have been accomplished; and the laborers
of the freeSt and most equitable government

as Of classes ShaH6e abolished with their accom-
paniments of war, debt and waste. Take this
first step towards a more equitable distribution
OF wcalth-a distribution that will increase pro-
duetion-produCtion stimulating further dis
tribution, until profit upon labor shall cease
the wage system become extinct; cooperation
become the rule, revolutionizing the industrial
system, as cooperative government has revolu-
tionized the political system; these forces acting
in harmony until poverty and extreme wealth
are abolished
: The italics are ours, but We are not quite sure
of the precise meaning of thesewords "bounda-
ies of nations as well as of classes shall be abol
ished." The European communists talk of
abolishng the nations in favor of the Com
mune;" but we have supposed that Massachu-
sets labor reformers are not communists of this
sort.
