him with dishonesty. Whereupon thor

showed that the State owed him nineteen

EB The New York Herald has a reme-
dy for the financial panic: it is declara-
ton of President Grant that he will not
be a candidate for third term. The ter
riuIu uncertainty of tho no"nt-s, ~, At
point, argues the Herald, is the cause of
The trouble. The Wall street craze is rag
ing worst in the Herald office.
ET5The Albany On. Y. } EUening Journal
thinks the Democratic papers hard to
please 1t says: They have abused the
Government for occasionally checking
gold speculations by throwing few mil
lions of its surplus accumulations of that
coveted metal upon the market; and now
they are quite as displeased because 1t
does not empty the Treasury to stop the
panic. Their rule of criticism is as shift
ing as the wind. Do what the Govern
ment may, they will growl.
gB"Three.fourths of the farmers of
Illinois," says the Rock Island Union,
shave always affiliated with the Republi-
can party, and there is where their party
sympathies and affections lie TO so close a
funct and irresponsible body of Democrats
and Liberals to carry them in antagonism
must signally fail. They do not propose
to assist in destroying their own party,
that played out Democratic politicians
may kick up their heels over its ruins"
GB-The St. Louis (Mo) Democrat rubs
its contemporary and the Liberal disor-
ganizers of its State: The Republican is
ont cia iacti In, ifu Of tha
Bolt" in Mississippi, and says 'it is the
best and most promising one the country
has seen since Gratz Brown and his fol-
lowers walked out of the State House at
Jefferson, taking with them forever the
scalp of Missouri Radicalism." There is
no accounting for tastes, but there are
many good people who look upon the
tomahawking and scalping of the Demo-
cratic party by "GratZ Brown and his
followers, ," in the late Presidential canvass,
as better and more meritorious perform
ance than the bolt at Jefferson.
"a The Democrats have one important
advantage IN the Ohio canvass. Their
candidate for Governor has been out of
public life so long that his political
record is as undiscOverable as the lost
books of Tacitus. His opponent, Noyes,
has been in active political life ever since
he lost his leg on the battlefield, and the
Democrats are busily at work inventng
and circulating all sorts of lies about his
manner of administering the office of
Probate Judge, to which he was elected
five or six years ago, and they keep him
busy refuting their ISLANDERS. Allen, who
is statesman after the order of Mel
chisedeck, having neither beginning of
years nor end of days, has performed no
public service within the memory of men
now living.-& Louis Democrat.
CY- The Democratic party has lost the
faculty of attracting attention TO itself Its
platforms drop like Jumps of lead to the
ground, though these same platforms,
when proclaimed by some other party,
become an inspiring war-cry against Re
publicanism. 1t no longer possesses the
capacity to present living issues to the
country, and is constantly mortified to
find its claims eclipsed by issues present
ed by others--as in Massachusetts,, Cali
fornia, Mississippi, and Iowa. There is
but one disposition to be made of such
party; it must be retired TO the hospital of
veteran invalids, that more vigorous
fighter may take its place.-St. LOUIS Re

"raise no dead issues" They would like
TO have their infamous record on these
dead issues buried out of sight and forgot
ten forever. They would like to have
people forget what they have been, that
thereby no means might exist of forming
correct judgment of what they would be.
Like the man who has been twice and
thrice in States prison, they would be
much obliged if the record would be for
gotten or scratched out. Thank you
that is not the course people take.-Otr-

matters not with what plausible language
the platform is constructed; it matters not
how nearly the principles of the Republi-
can platform are adopted, the people will
discover that il is the same old party that
opposed the Republican party during the
war that is trying TO creep into power
under false skin. No skin can cover the
remembrances of the conduct of the
