the Republicans dare name for President
except perhaps Blaine, and he has about
as much show as Maine has to become
the Garden of Edeu. How different
was it 80 years ago, when the Govern
ment was so vulgar list. Paul Dispatch

The Omens are auspicious. We go in
to the contest in this State with the pres
tige of numerous recent Democratic vic
tories in our own and other States,
With the nomination Of any one Of the
half dozen gentlemen who have been
prominently named as eligible to the
leadership, a Democratic victory is as
sured-[ Buffalo Courier (Dem.)
Whoever induced the President to
break his golden rule of silence and
make that speech at Atlantic City was
no true friend to him. We know Of no
man with whom silence in public is more
truly golden, or whose speech is more
tlimsy kind of currency. We think he
would do well to stick to the specie basis
in this matter Of speech-malling
The new party stands on principles
of uncompromising antagonism with the
men in whose company the President
has been working for five years, and he
as leader is responsible more than his
company for the work. Under these cir
cumstances, it would be an act of suicide
in the Independent or any new party to
nominate Grant and take The third term

II was u great mistake in originally
comforting so much power on the Presi-
dent and Senate. 1t cannot be curbed
too soon by requiring the ratification OF
every treaty by both Houses of Con-
gress. Indeed, we do not think it would
be extreme caution to require vote of
the peopleo on every treaty proposed be-
fore it can be consummated, We expect
the time to come when all laws will
have to be thus ratified by the people
-[Syracuse Standard rep
The Congressman to be elected during
the coming fall win be the members OF
Congress that will be in session during
the hundredth anniversary of our indie
pendence. 1t ought to be such a body
as will make us proud of the fruits Of
our country's freedom. 1t is not too soon
to mention this matter.-L Cincinnati

The Democratic party invites all who
still adhere to the principles Of the Gin
cinnati platform to unite with them In
endeavors to restore civil liberty and
honest government. All Liberals who
value those principles viii accept the in
vitation. John Cochrane and his hand
full of followers must run their little ma
chine alone.-[Chenango IN. " Union
| (Dem.)
The Democratic view of the situation
is at once comprehensive and liberal. II
means strict fidelity to principles that
are permanently imbedded in the organ
ic law of, the nation; and it also means
and with rigid consistency, too, an in
vitation in the broadest spirit to men o.
all parties, who are patriots first, to co
I operate in the restoration of those prin
cfples in the administration of the Gov
ernment.-[ Boston Post (Dem.)
For years Washington has been thu
focus of women from all parts Of thu
country seeking clerkships, and in many
cases positions have been given to thes'
most importunate applicants out o
charity. They must have known tina
the "weeding OUT process would com'
some time, for the Government office
cannot be made hospitals and homes o
refuge for distressed people who will per
sist in wanting clerkships when Their
are no clerkships.- Burlington Hawk
Eye (Rep.) a''9' ''a'
To,talk to any sane man from Soutl
Carolina or Louisiana of there being an.
hope in the future from any possibl
drift for Grant, would be to talk non
sense. If the South is to be carried 70
a third term, it must be by the votes Q
the negroes and the mercenary white
who know no traditions of the Repupli,
} and would notreeard them if they die
z There can be no question but that tn
whole Conservative South will be unite

The success of the Democracy in 1S7
and 1876 depends wholly upon the fide
ity with which its members shall clin

ances of the party. The day dawns; Ii
light in the east is clear and unmistakl
BILE, and triumph, with concerted effoI
is absolutely assured. Let every Dem

ours.--[St. Louis Times ,(Dem.)
