conducted aclandestine correspond

nor did not show to Moplton, as he
had promised to do, but this CORES

There is food for thought in this

There is food for thought in this
paragraph from 4he Boston Head:
Those people who think it impossi-
BILE for President Grant to geta nom
ination for a third term, have not
looked at the figures. There will be
369 votes in the Convention. Of
these the sixteen Southern States
will have 13S. Grant could get all
these to-day, and forty-eight more
would give him a majority. He
would undoubtedly be the strongest
candidate on the first ballot, were the
Convention to be held next week."

The extact here given, is given
without credit, with the purpose
that it may go for what it is worth:
Men say that democrats are just
as dishonest as republicans. This
may be'true enough, and yet a DEM
ocratic administration is apt to be
much more economical than a repub-
lican one. The policy of the demo
cratic party has always been towards
perjury in public expenditure, the
theory of its leading statesmen be-
ing that the state should keep out
of all great jobs so far as possible.
The policy of the republican party,
on the other hand, has always been
toward the most liberal expenditures
of the peoples money in all great
projects. The former system offers
few temptations to cupidity, and
compels even rogues into a sort Of
negative integrity. The latter sys
TEN abounds in facilities for corrup
ton, and is apt to lead even saint:
astray amid its varied opportunitie:
for regulations.

ave are hostile to Eaton and detest him be-
cause he knows nothing but the old State SOW
ereignty blather. That has been the affectaton OF
his life. He blew off his old foolishness about the
sacred sovereignty of the States, the first chance
he got, in the Senate. He twaddled about the ma
tonal flag Of Rhode Island before the Constitu-
ton. If he is right, the war was the most woeful
blunder ever committed, and we must put the
Southern Confedcracy atop, paying for slaves, re-
deem the Confederate currency, satisfy all South
ern war claims pension Confederate soldiers, dou-
BILE the national debt and recognize the national flag
