" bad old man" is early enough IN the field to
share in defeats.
About the hardest work Of "reconcilia- /
ton the coalition have to do is to reconcile
what their candidate says one day with what
he said the day before.
Pennsylvania Republican majority on
Tuesday was several thousand larger than it
was for Grant in 1865. That was " the So
Der second thought"
-Casping hands across the bloody chasm
shooting down colorcd men in Georgia for
attempting to vote. A queer construction,
but the result is uumistakable.
-Pittsburg responds to Horace Greely's
denuncation of the veterans of the late war
by an unexpectedly largo majority for the
gallant soldier, Gen. Hartranft.
The n. Y Evening Post says: "The
adherents of Gen Grant form a powerful,
consistent well.trained army, with glorious
historical associations that no amount Of
whitehall waving will easily defeat
The Newark Journal Aismally bowls
" God help Pennsylvania" Pennsylvania
took the other track. She remembered the
fable Of IIercule, and the WAGNER and help

The Trijune has declared that it is no
longer an organ" The statement at last be-
comes true 1t ceased to be a Republican
organ months ago, and now and heuccfor,h
not even the Democrats will recognize it.
-Greeey has been truly unfortunate in
the selection of his friends aud advisers. Iii.
chief campaign managers are men known
throughout the country for their cupidity
corruption aud reckless disregard Of all tn,
principles of fair dealing.
Judge Eoar made one Of his apt com

Richmond" A year ago he was calling 70
the rigorous execution Of the Ku Kux law
and the force bill Now he is clamorng 70
reconciliation.
The New York Hiorld could not resis
the temptation to utter the following "Ou
principal joker, who is simply incorrigblt
says that in one respect he thinks Grant ha
the start Of Greeley in this campaign, 70
Grant quietly smokes his cigar, and Creole

. In speaking Of the South, some time since
= Horace Greeley said that we might forgiy
, the South, "but when they ask us TO forge

i No doubt, says the New York TriJun
If if it we're this day question whether hlacI
k should or should not be enfranchised, goc

rejoicing over the October results, and cal
upon the democrats to now throw Greel,
, and Brown Overt GARD and take up O'Con
and Adams.
The mistaken notion of most of Il
