GRANT HAS THE CARD IN HIS
OWN HAND.

If there be any such thing as q
republican party, in distinction from
the Third Term Grant party, it must
make itself felt Immediately. But
look around you. Who are the pos
sible candidates of the opposition
Senator Conkling? He merely acts
as the lieutenant of the President,
and while unquestionably he pos
sesses plenty of influence at the
White House, that influence, is de
rived altogether from his servile ODE
dience to the dictatoral will of the ap
pointing power. Mr.. Blaine? The
dull face of the President frightened
into a smile that meant somthing
when the news came in September
that the democratic gain in Maine
had almost wiped out the republican
majority. That election settled
Blaine in the opinion of the Pres
ident and his advisers, and probably
they were right. Vice-P President
Wilson? He in struggling against
the swift advances of disease which
threatens to break him down phys
ically, while every organ grinder in
the service of the Administration
joins simultaneously in an effort to
break him down politically. Secrc-
tary Bristow? 1t is reported that
he threatened to leave the Cabine
when Chandler's appointment was
announced, and it is tolerably GER
tain that he would be driven out if
he became formidable as a candidate.
Senator Morton? He tried to con-
duct a fight against the President on
the financial issue. and was so badly
worsted that, with the ready thrift
of a Professional politician, he aban-
doned his own opinions hastily adj
opted the views of the White House,
and broke into the most extravagant
culogies on Grant, that he might not
forft his little slice Of patronage.
Mr. Washburne? No man over in
in France will be able to command
the Republican National Convention.
every delegate will be spoken for in
advance. Charles Francis Adams?
Hardley. He doesn't train with the
rulers and the rulers rule in these
latter days. We are at the end of the
list. Will any man whose name we
have mentioned hold his own against
Grant? When the President comes,
backed by the power which he wields,
claiming that unexpected contin-
gency" has risen, will Conkling.
Blaine, Bristow, or the others dis
pute his assnmption?-Uti Utica o.

are not entitled to vote, Judge Cate

to surrender, and the right of the men
to vote will be tested forthwith in the

If the decision of the court is adverse

THE Woman's Temperance Union
has accomplished an excellent perma-

that, too, in an transformations and
:Ghristian way. Through its auspices
there have been hundreds of happy
homes restored within a year. and large
numbers of reformed men added again
to the list of good and useful citizens.
Efforts are now making to extend and
perpetuate the work, and to do this
surely and we'll, OF course requires
some money. The ladies are endevor-
ing to secure portion of the amount
needed by giving, from day to day,
at los Madison street, near LaSalle,
an excellent lunch for so cents. There
is no person who is not in favor of the
work in which these women are engag-

men can aid it much, and will "get
the worth of their money!" by patron
azing these lunches.

Society.

The annual meeting of the Wiscon-

held in the Agricultural Rooms, at
Madison, on the 1st, End, and 3rd of
February next. The indications are

fully equal to that of any of those
previously held. Essays and addresses
on various important, practical subjects
will be given by practical men, who
have labored long and faithfully to
advance the interests of horticulture
in this State. There will also be free
