With slight qualification it is still true that
no man, however honest, industrious, enter
prising, and wealthy, is made comfortable in
the South unless he is at heart rebel, or at
least a sympathizer with the old Rebellion.

1t is sad to see the distress of the Demo-
cratic papers because the Republicans of
Ohio did not nominate Judge Taft for Gov
ernor. They are sure he was the strongest
candidate. The republicans themselves were
very clear that Governor Hayes combined
more elements Of strength than any other
man, but the Democrats are greatly worried
lest it was fatal mistake. 1t is beautiful
and touching 10 see their deep interest in Re-
publican success.-ALbany Journal
We suggest that there be a Philadelphia
Convention, that Sherman and the other
fighting generals of the present war may
meet and be reconciled. Nothing could be
finer than the spectacle of the leading gener-
ais entering the Convention arm in arm, and
shedding tears of forgiveness, forgetfulness,
and love. Henry Ward Beecher would doubt
less act as Chaplain of the gathering, and we
don't believe he would apologize for it after
ward, either. Let the Northern Generals
shake hands across the bloody chasm. And
let Sherman write an addition to his book in
which he shall cheerfuly concede that every
General was the greatest General OF the War.

There is not much competition apparently
for the Democratic Gubernatoral nomina-

have to run long time. and then they nev-

run himself somewhere between 149 and l63
times has received letters from Joseph Ilt-
comb, S. G. Strout of Portland, and from
Gen. Roberts of Bangor, all declining to al

whether the Governor gains much from its

this secret political society in its attitude
toward reform. 1t is always ready to cry
aloud for "reform''-when the administra-
ton to be reformed is not under its own con-
troll; but. to discover anything it has ever
done to secure reform, we must turn to its
records of at least half century ago. -NeW

not expect victory in 1876 with such men as
Hendricks, Tilden or Thurman, but must
take some man who is not so well known,
but who is at the same time man Of ability,
character and local popularity. The writer
says that the party won with unknown men
like Polk and Pierce, when it would have
been defeated with an old leader as candi-
date. The writer then nominates Hon. Jas.
G. Madigan of Houlton, Maine, as the man
who is well qualified for the Presidency, and
who has those elements of local popularity
which will give him good start at home. A
later communication appears in the same pa

heartily endorses the suggestion. Doubtless

The Indiana Democrats are going with
great enthusiasm into the granger move
ment against the railroads; and the reason is
this: On election day in Indianapolis the
Democrats sent to Cincinnati for several
hundred repeaters, and got them. To avoid
suspicion the incorruptible ones were quar-
tered in the suburbs of the city, near rail-
way station. Rain began to fall, and the re-
peaters crawled into some empty freight cars
and fell asleep. While they slept locomo-
tive was attached to the train, and moved
out of the station bearing with it the Demo-
cratic hope of carrying Indianapolis. Next
day the Republicans swept the city, and the
Democrats have ever since been denouncing
the railroads as grinding monopolies.
