POLITICAL

Two rather important political movements
are being inaugurated In this city, at this
time The Democratic admirers Of Gov
Tilden are organizing to force him on the
National Democratic Convention, a. its
candidate for the Presidency, on q hard
money, tree-traie platform. They are put
ting oceans of money on it, and are striving
to have such an organization perfected as
will control the convention. The other is a
movement among Republicans for Grant, for
the third term. This latter embraces many
excellent men who are not ofice-holders, but
who really believe that the best interests of
the country demand his re nomination
They are organizing on the basis Of anti
Catholicism, or rather the protection of
the schools from Romish interference, hard
money and purity in public places, and they
assert that TO attain these ends the re nom
nation Of Grant is the only thing to be
done. | am astonishsd to see the number
