South B=ui (imd.) Tribune
Eastern capitalists laughed over
Western necessities. The measure
was essentially RcpHblican, and in
vetoing it Grant iia- cut himself
loose from the Republican party.
Wisconsin State Journal: We
think these questions should be met
and settled now The people do
not want TO be left in doubt anoth-
er year. The croakings of the
chronic grumblers, who are con-
stantly predicting repudiatfons and
endless evils, do great injury to all
business interests, for capital is
cowardiy, and hides himself so
long as it hears any one, no matter
how small, pounding on the alarm
gong.
indianapolis Qnd.) News: No
little of the influence that has so
largely concentrated Western feel
ing in favor of imitation, has been
the conviction compelled by reiter-
ated insults and disparagements,
that the East regarded the West as
sort of Draw ling BOBBY, incapable
of perceiVing its own interest, and
needing trans-Alleghany guardian
ship. The best of men, feeling
them elves unjustiy condemned,
are disposed to combine against
their slanderers and make common
cause on one side where common
cause is made against them on the
other.

made; but having been made, we

by our Senators and Representa-
lives in Congress. So far, at least
as the West is concerned, the party
is almost unanimous on the subject
