The sentiments ard language of the East
ond the West are widely different. Inc IN
compatibility between them isa striking eS-
ample Of the difference between the people
of the two sections. 1t is easy to foresee
that there mus. be a political conflict between
them. They are very bacly miSmaicnet "heh

In fact, there is quite enough in the dlSa-
creements of the Republican party III Inc
different sections TO produce that clScoFa

The prospects Of the President are quite
Interesting on the subject. lie made Il great
mistake in yetoing the currency bill. TGat
act came like shower-bath upon his mann
supportcrs who were in the West. The
late proceedings SHOW most unfavorably Tor
him. We do not mean TO say what General
GRANTS plan is; but if the third
term" is part Of it, the veto Oh
the currency bill was the most untor'u'
nate and immaturely considered act that ne
ever committed. The general prostra'ton
that prevails through the country contempo-
1ary with that squeching OF Dill upon
which the people-especlally OF the west
lad fixed their hopes makes II very naio
for hin.
These Republican conventions are no"
quite interesting.
