pccted TO hear it from Mr.. Duncan himself,
who is partner in President Grants little
scheme, and the talking partner at that.
Mr.. BlantOn Duncan is, of course, perfectly
willing to take hand in the game he does
not understand; but what, we should like to
know, will be the feelings of his Democratic
followers when he assures them that it is not
his voice, but Grants, which summons them to
Louisvile-not his hand, but Grants, which
picks out for them straight Democratic can
didate-not his pen, but the pen of Grant
postmaster, which indites these stirring ex-
hortations to confirm the Radical party IN
power by way Of testifying to the sacred
ness of Democratic principles3
And what position Mr.. Blanton Duncan
is left in 1t having become evident to the
Administration that Grant cannot be reelected
except by the help of a fraudulent third party,
Mr.. Duncan is set up as the ostensible leader
of such party, while Morton g. Co. pull all

franks, keep tho pOstmasters at work, ana

his and if any profit is to be made they Will

that in spite of the desperate efforts OF the
Government. and the unprecedentedly LAVISH
expenditure of money which they have made,
we shall handsomely reduce their majority IN
the State. and make important gains In the
Congress Districts. During the last Presi-
dental contest, in the State election CORE
snonding TO this, the Republicans carried the
State by 10000 majority. In the ele ctlons Oh
1870 and 1871 the vote cast was much smaller
and the interest less animated. and the ma
iority therefore dropped to half what 1t was
in a Presidential year. The sangulne charac-
fer of some of the calculations made by our
friends in Maine is seen in their promise to
elect Mr.. Pike over Mr.. Hale, "unless the
"other side use money" The other side VIII
very surely use money, as it never before was
used in the history of the State. Mr. Hale
has triple fund to draw upon, the regular
campaign money, the funds of the Washing
ton corruptionists, and the cash-box OF MS
Senatorial father-in-law. Mr.. Pike is making
a superb fight against these unfair odds. III
he wins it, he will not only gain most envi-
able distinction for himself but his district
and State will share in the credit due 10 IN
dependence and incorruptibility. Our 1rienus
are conducting this canvass in way which
deserves the highest success. We expect IIoh
them all that is in reason.

~ MR.. WILSON SORRY?

Mr.. Henry Wilson said recently, If our
memory is not at fault, that he had no reason
to regret any of his public utterances. 1t was
rather bold remark for gentleman OF his
dubious political record with ever so many
thousands Of naturalized voters before him
and a little Know Nothing episode at his
back, to say nothing of other circumstances
which ought to have made him extremely
cautious. The Native American vagary he
may have hoped was forgotten; but ne could
not reasonably have expected us to overlook
his remarks in the Senate, last Winter, when
the appointment of the Committee OF lnvestlga-
ton into the Custom-h0use and other ABUSES
WAS under consideration. Mr.. Wilson ac-
knowledged then that there were wrongs that
reauired looking after, and he wanted stand
ING committee to ferret them out. Abuses
"have existed in the past" said he; they exist
Gin tbe present; they will exist i'll all
"the years to come more or less. depending en-
"tirely upon the vigilance of Congress- OF the
president, of the Cabinet, and the men ap-
"pointed to responsible positions under the
Administration"
But this was a very unlucky admission Mr..
Conkling. and Mr. Morton, and the other pa
triots of that faction, have been all this while
insisting that there are no abuses, that there
was no excuse for Committee, that Mr.. Ton
Murphy was the best Collector ever made ana
that the Investigations enforced at last IN the
teeth of their opposition proved "ruinous" TO
those who called for them, and to nobody
else Mr.. Wilson himself has been silent on
the subject ever since he was so unlucky as 10

UNHLAIMID RICO IGE

Mr.. Blanton Duncan assures us that he has
"no documents in Washington" The circulars
calling a Convention of Bourbon Democrats at
Louisville are none OF his property. He is not
responsible for the withering pamphlets against
Mr.. Greeley which issue from the Washington
Committee Rooms under his name. He has no
proprietary interest in the huge sacks of
Bourbon documents which lumber the halls and
stairways of the Capitol and when Postmaster
Edmunds and his fellow w-breakers send
packages of these publications, under the
counterfeited franks of Messrs. Harlan, Chand-
Ter, Logan, and other good Grant men, to the
postmasters all over the United States, with
instructions to deliver them to Democrats,

II seems settled by our tepid little clique of
LaOdiceans that nothing must be said about
Gen. Dix in this canvass, because he is an
elderly and respectable gentleman. One of
them is greatly scandalized that anybody
should ask his age, but the question is never
theless an interesting one. If he is "a, as he
says he is, then in the war of 1872, when he
served as Adjutant to Gen. Brown, he was IA
years of age, and such precOcity is noteworthy.
If on the other hand, as Vapereau and other
authorities state, he was born in 1892, the
fact of his having forgotten six of his birth
DAYS has a direct bearing on the sub
iect of his capacity for public work.
But at all events he is an elderly
gentleman, and as such entitled to be
treated with more decorum and respect than he
shows in his public references to the Liberal
candidates. This will always be carefully borne
in mind by THE TRIBUNE. lie is very re-
spectacle man also, which means, we presume,
that he has never been in Jail and has never
done a days work in his life. This will also
be remembered to his credit. But there is one
point of view in which the common people
must be allowed to consider Gen. Dix, and
that is as a candidate. He has passed his life
in the pursuit or the enjoyment of office, and
when he comes before us for our votes we
have some right to ask what are the antece-
dents of this veteran oflicehOlder A letter
which we print this morning from a valued
correspondent throws a little light upon this
question. AS new departures are in fashion
this year, the General ought not to object to
letting the world know chow many and how
prompt have been his efforts in this line. No
man ever travelled in lighter marching order,

The Ereaing Post is falling into a settled hypo-
chondra. The prospect of Mr.. Greeleys election
has poisoned the world for it, and made this brave
o'erhanging armament foul and loathly. 1t even
finds our investigation of the Bloomingdae Asylum
"unprofessional "-as if it knew anything about
journalism. But while abusing it disarms us by
making this sad and touching confession: "Wo arc
all of us so near idiocy or insanity that nothing in
the world is so easy as to fein either" The preva-
lence of idiocy and insanity in The Post has long
been evident to the public though from motives of
delicacy we have refrained from referring to it.
But it can no longer be kept a secret, we suppose.
for just after the honest confession above quoted
follows this wonderful sentence, which could not
have been written by any one in his senses; All
the physician has to certify to is not that the pa
ient is not insane, but that he " This is certainly
the view that many physicians take of their duty
when their consciences properly fortified by a
fee but it is startling to hear such sentiments pro-
mulgated by an elderly newspaper After this it
will be difficult for the genius who wrote that umi-
nous sentence to get certificate not that he Is insane

A letter from Greenport advises us that Mr. W. W.
Hageman of Poughkeepsie in an address there on
the evening of the 2ith brought the following
charming list of dsqualifcaons for tho Presidency
up in judgment against Mr.. Greeley:
/. The said Greeley is a FOurierite.
2. He favors a general division of property at tho
end of every seventh year.
3. He defends Mormonism.
4. He is an advocate Of Spiritualism.
8. He is an advocate of Free Love.
6. lie is a traitor to the doctrine of Protection
Z. 1t has been proved by Democratic authority
that he has pledged himself to appoint Democratic
Cabinet and Democratic Ministers to foreign nations.
g. He was a Secessionist
Q. He remains a State Rights man of the Calhoun
school.
TO- His election would lead to another civil war;
H. He basely deserted the late Constitutional Con-
vention after one months service drawing pay for
seven months.
Whether this was all or not, our correspondent
does not state. Probably Mr.. HageTan stopped
there to take breath.
