The Ragmep's party, which met
at Cleaveland the other day, and
called so loudly for "more money!"
should be received more kindly by
the imitation journals. Their hippant
treatment of the Convention creates
a strong impression that their devo-
ton to shinplasters is weakening.
The CINCINNATI Democrats gave
this little endorsement of Governor
Allen while they were nominating
city officers the, other day: ave are

There was a good deal of bois-
ferrous hilarity in the Administration
journals last week because Senator
Christiaucy by going into the Repub~
lican caucus had "snubbed the Indie.
pendent journalists who claimed him
as one Of tlIeir sort of men," How

Do they think he would be good

or do they think with Senators Bout
well and Logan that lie has gone over
to the Democrats?
The meaning of the result in
New Hampshire is thus fairly and
impartially given by the Philadel-
phia Times: ''Tle first skirmish of
1875 scores one against Grants re-
nomination, while Grant and Pinch

easy, while between Republicans and
Democrats the latter have notice that
a State may be against debauched
Republican rule and yet not be DEM
ocratic. 1t is very pointed admo-
milton that the party that is most
wise in 1875 will start with the in
: side track in 1876"
This brief and solemn dialogue
between two of the country's most
devoted patriots is said, by the Was
hington correspondent Of The Bos-
ton Advertiser to have taken place
in the United States Senate at the
close of Senator Christiancy's speech
OH Louisiana: CAS- Mr.. Christiancy

over his desk and said to MIR. Bout

The attempt to put the blame
o of the failure of Civil Service reform
upon Congress does not please The
) Utica Herald, whose editor has been

E talking about. "The reason given"
z The Herald says, lis the failure of
a Congress to appropriate the money
: necessary for the maintenance Of
0 the Commission. Congress did SO
) refuse, and we do not blame 1t. It
was wasting money. The Civil Ser
: vice reform was a failure long before
e Congress refused its appropriation.
n It failed from another cause entirely,
d It failed from above, not from below.
