Political.

There is, says the Columbus Miss Demo-
crdt, no installing the drift of public senti
ment. 1t all points to the reorganization of
the Democratic party upon n sound Jeferso-
MAN platform. This idea prevails every
where, North, South East and West, and it
is gathering strength every day, No m"lr
departures from the name aud principles o1
Democracy, is the cry from all quarters.
The Cincinnati Enquirer opposes in
vigorous manner the proposition put forth in
certain quarters, that the Democratic party
should abandon its old time honored name,
would be Immediately snapped up by some
other organization, and that the Republican
party would change for it and give large
amount to boot"
The New York Journal Of Commerce
concludes sedate, but wel-considered arti-
Gle on "Cesarism," as follows: "The ques-
ton will keep, and we shelve it for the pres
ent. If President Grant, or his personal
friends, or the politicians who have linked
their fortunes with his, would like to have it
discussed in 1885, they can be accommodate
ed to the full. Unless we are greatly mistak-
EN- in judging of the drift of public opinion,
they will find when the time is ripe, that C@s-
arism, or the possession of Office for an indefi-
mite period, through packed conventions, and
the abuse ofpower is one ofthose things that
the American people will not stand. If the
reverse ofthis expectation should be true, then
indeed, and for the first time, should we de-
spar of the Republic"
-"Reckless financiers, dishonest business
men, political adventurers, the purse-proud
and vain shoddyists," shouts the Lawrence
(Kansas) Standard, throw up their caps and
shout in praise of Grant. The masses of the
people look on in sorrow. Grant was theil
hero-he came to them fresh from victorious
battle fields-but he has failed TO hold theiI
esteem or preserve their regard. Enthusiasm
has given place to apathy, and the President
to day has lost the esteem of the good men Of
the country The salary bill is fatal to its sup.
porters."

-"There is nothing" declares the Louis
vile Ledger Democratic,) that can SO GER
tainly assure continuation of Radical rule
as a timid, time-seWing, mandy PANTY course
upon the part of demonstrating new af
filiations, running off after new parties, in
augurating schemes o., and men for cXpedi-
ency, at the sacrifice of the doclrnal truths
of the party" Cold comfort, this for the
coaitionists.
The Worlds Boston correspondence says
that the Massachusetts State Democratic Con-
vention will probably be called before the Re

Graf on straight-out platform.
