that the democratic press is compel
ed TO admit them The swindled
candidate for Attorney General, S.

a note to Governor Groome, giving
notice Of his intention to contest the
election, and we presume that other
contests will also follow. The fact
that from Governor down to the

Now, that the Democrats have been
pretty generally logged at the late
elections, in an issue of their own Sc
lection, they are trying to divert pub
lie attention from their pitiable plight
BY again raising the bugaboo of a
third term, asserting most positively
that there is DO longer any doubt OF
Grants denomination, and Boosting
ly predicting his overwhelming de-
feat. As the big, good natured lub-
Der remarked to & friend, who drop
ped in and found bis little wife poun-
ding away at him with Der fist, III
don't hurt me and it amuses her." so
say we, let these little fellows pound
away at the third term if il amuses
them. In view, however, of their
late predictions OF fifty thousand ma
jority for the rag baby in Ohio, and
Of a similar majority for its wet
nurse, (~Pershing,) in this State, we
would suggest to them to draw it q
little mild" when they are predicting
their majority FOR next year.
