Of the Bowdoin College Commencement in
this weeks independent, says Mr.. Blaine
made speech so impressive as to lead many
to say. 81 should like to vote for that man

They are willing, it is said, to support him
for the presidency or any other office, pro
yided he will abandon his attempts to secure
Mr.. Morrill's seat. These advances havenot

the contest for the senatorship continues.
Tnr Tribune says that the line Of attack
which the western democracy has chosen,
concentrates three powerful forces, the
communistic hatred of invested capital, the
hunger Of the embarrassed dealer or manu-
facturer for rising market, and whatever
Of yindictre spirit still fingers among those
who sympathized with rebellion" And they
are forces against which all true lovers Of
the country ought to combine
TIM first of the fall elections takes place
in California on september lst. An ox-
member Of Congress, who arrived at wash
ington Saturday, says that the campaign has
opened with three parties in the field, and
promises to be one of the most exciting ever
fought in that state The Independent

THE Wilmington (Del) Commercial nom
mates Secretary Bristow for President, and
Governor llartranft for Nice-President, on
the Republican ticket for 1876 Not bad
combination by any means. It shows the
drift Of Republican sentiment to be in the
direction of steadfast and consistent adher.
ence to the past record of the party. Neither
Secretary Bristow nor Governor llutanft
would for q moment, tolerate the idea Of
abandoning even the humblest citizen OF the
South 10 the mercilo3s control OF the demo
cratic gushers.
Now some Of the Republican paper. OF
the Empire State are trying tog,t cyea with
those who criticized the President Tor leay-
ing the capital during the summer months,
by talking about the way Governor Tilden
spends his time at Long Branch One Of
them speaks of him sarcastically as The
late Governor rillcu-we mean Mr. Tlden,
who was late Governor, but whose absence
from the state has deyolved the dutie. Of
that Office upon Governor Dorsheim-r"
This is cruel retaliation, especially as John
Morrissey says Tilden is to be the next
President

II POUNDS is conclusion on the improve
ment OF the Grant administration the
preference of most Of the liberal republic
cans for Hayes; the reduced vote Of the pro-
hibitory party, and the aversion Of the Ger
man voters to initiation ia any form. It
declares that the majority for Hayes will
be handsome and emphatic, larger than he
received on former occasions, and sufficient
TO pronounce the doom in the nation forever
Of the sort Of democracy that is now assert

WnEN a close examination is made Of the
relative extravaganza Of the two parties in
the Southern States, the assumption that the
| Republicans have been the most reckless in
stantly disappears. This is fact which no
honest man will deny. For example, the
Republican constitution Of the state Of Ala
bama created fourteen new offices, with .ala-
ries amounting in the aggregate to s3llO.
The last democratic general assembly Of the
! state created seven hundred and seventeen
Offices, with salaries amounting in the ag-
grosate to 3lI3,500, This was the work Of
one session. win 1.-THE opposition press of the

trayagant expenditure of the peoples money
