IT is not often that an epic is condensed
into an epgram, or campaign described
in sentence. Caesars memorable saying,
"Veai, uidi, rici is almost the only Illus
tration of the sort on record. But even
this pithiness is now outdonc by the st.
Louis Republican, which, placing the right
caption at the head of a wrong article, sums
up the whole progress and condition of the
Liberal movement, from the moment of its
birth down to the present time, in couple
of prcsnent ds-"Blag Scare" That
is the Had of the coalition in a nutshell.

In the United States there are 10, 500, 900
men and boys, and 100000 women and
girls. This is an excess of males of 81 per
cent.-a far different showing for the whole
country from that in New England, where
the females are considerably more numer-
Gus than the males. 1t would seem, there
fore, that the maidens among us have over
whclming opportunities of marriage yet
it is a singular fact that more men than
women of the same generation enter we'd
lock. The manageable age" of hearty
bachelor extends indefinitely from twenty
one to fifty; that Of a virgin is usually
confined to briefer limits. So bachelor
who has neglected to make love at twenty
five to a maiden of eighteen has still at
forty-five fair chance to win a maid of
eighteen, who was actually unborn when
he ought to have been first married.

THE most sagacious politicians in Ken
lucky say that it will be impossible for
Greeley to carry that State. The Kentuck-
ians have no love for Greeley, and will vote
for Straightout candidates in the hopes of
preserving the old party from ruin. All
the sncering at and abuse of the men who
had the Louisville convention in hand did not
prevent them from making nominations, and
these nominations will seal the doom OF
Greeley, so it is doubtful whether he will
get single electoral vote in November.
He cannot afford to lose Democratic sup
port to any extent. 1t will require every
vote Of that party and large detection in
the Republican ranks to give him any show
of an election. The Louisville nominees
will probably poll three quarters of mil
lion ofyotcs, and as there is no detection in
the Republican party worth notice, it is
plain to be seen that Greelcy's prospects
for the Presidency are growing beautifully
less, day by day. The elections in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa next
month, will satisfy every candid observer
that the Democratic Liberal ticket is fated
to meet with crushing defeat on the fifth OF
November. -s
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-09-06

In is constantly charged that the Rcpub-
lcans are encouraging the Louisville move
mcnt. 1t is made sort of bugbear to
brighten Democrats that Republicans regard
the straightout enterprise with favorable
eyes. Very we'll; did not Republicans
regard the nomination of Mr.. Greeley at
Baltimore with favor? Did not the leaders
of the Republican party labor assiduously,
though quietly, to force the Cincinnati
nomination upon the Baltimore c,nven-
ton? We believe that that is no longer
secret, and, therefore, do not hesitate to
put the question. Sagacious Republicans
witnessed the Baltimore surrender with
great satisfaction. 1t took the ground from
under the feet of the Liberal Republican
movement, because it gave sharp definition
to the issue joined. Intelligent men of all
pan understood at once that it was to be
the old battle between Republican progress
and Democratic reaction. But no Demo-
cratic organ set up the fact as a bugbear to
deter Democrats from rallying to the sup
port of the Baltimore nominations. And
yet it is pretty clear that leading Republic
cans gave as much encouragement to those
nominations as they can well give to the
nominations made at Louisville.
But if Republicans regard with favor the
straightout movement, and if that be good
reason why honest Democrats should re-
pudiatc it, how much more cogent the rea-
son why honest Republicans should repu-
date the Cincinnati convention and its
nominees? The Democratic press, with
out an exception, stimulated the Cincinnati
movement by every species of encourage
ment known in political warfare. Literally
speaking, Messrs. Schurz, Wells, Bowles
and others were cggcd on to do just what
they did do at Cincinnati. That the old
Tanmany leaders controlled the action
Of that convention is not now doubted and
but feebly denied. 1t was a part of the
Democratic programme. The small-fry
Democratic politicians were not in the Sc
cret, perhaps but the men who manipu-
late political preliminaries for that party
undoubtedly knew all about Mr.. Gree
ley's candidacy months before the event at
Cincinnati. 1t was impossible to take
MIR. Greeley without certain preparation.
1t would have created revolution in the
Democratic party had the leaders revealed
their plan before the ice was broken al Gin
cinnati. But the plan was laid months be-
fore, and such men as lIoratio Seymour,
Oakley Hall and other Tammany chiefs
were IN it. No doubt Hendricks, Thur
man and Voorhees, knew of it, the two
iirst-named acquescing and the latter pro-
testing against the proposed qualification of
once great party. Voorhees, protested in
strong language long before the probability
OF the Baltimore surrender was apparent
to the general public. Ills protest was too
vehement not to have been melted by some
thing clearer than the apparent signs in the
political heavens.

RIDING TWO HORSES.

There are times when no great mischief
results from attempting to ride two horses.
But this is not the case now. The issues
are too important to justify neutrality F; and
the man who IS content to be claimed by
both parties while he straddles the fence,
is Of service to neither. There were ''cow-
boys" during the Revolution, and there are
"cow-boys' now-who are unwilling to
fight with either party, but who are care
full to take such position as TO be able to
claim share of the "spoils" whichever
side wins. .rr. aa
There is but one wise way to deal with
such men-trcat them as enemies. When
a mans name is published as in sympathy
with one party while he privately processes
allegiance to another, unless he distinctly
defines his position he is not to be trusted.
If his name has been tempered with it is
his duty to say SO. If he refuses, it is
prima facia evidence eilher that he has
been properly classified or hopes to derive
some benefit in some way by being consid-
cred to be what he is not. While no Re-
publican would needlessly drive single
voter into the ranks of the enemy, the Re-
publican party owes it to itself to look
upon all men as its enemies who hesitate
to avow their allegiance. Tho fence is no
place for true men, and no man who is
worth straw to any party is ever found
on the fence. Those who hesitate to show
their hands while the issue is in doubt de-
serve no consideration after the battle is
fought and the victory won. 1gn
