BLAINE OR RRlsTow.

It is not always easy to predict the act ion of a political convention three months
 in advance, but indications now point to
 the choice either of Blaine or of Bristow
 at the Repubulican national convention.
 We judge that the politicians prefer the former; the rank and file, the latter; and
 as the politicians are apt to have their own
 way at conventions Blaine's chances are l probably the best. Onr own prefer
 ence is decidedly for Bristow. Both are 1 sound on the currency. There is no sus-
 picion of iotbery against Blaine; but he
 has never shown the genius for reform
 that the country recognizes in Bristow. Just now reform seems the vital point.
 The demoralization disclosed by the fall of Belknap disgusts the public with poli- ticians and with the present administra- tion. Bristow is the conspicuous txcep- ton to what is no doubt uniustly consid- cred the general rule among office hold CTS, and would not lose one of the votes which the Belknap affair threatens to take from any other Republican candidate.
 Our own chief objection to Blaine is the sort of smart partisanship which is characterizing his coulse in Congress. The shrewdness with which he develops the Bourbonism of Ben Hill no doubt tends to unite all those who supported the war against party that seems inclined to keep up it's old opposition to tue results of that war. Still. we doubt whether the North is not, on the whole, more disgust ed with Carpet Baggery than with Bour- bonism. Such was evidently the case in 1874, and it will take a good many utter ances of a good many Ben. Hills to change their opinion
 The real cause of the change from Re- publican defeats in 1874 to Republican victories in 1875 was the unsatisfactory position of the Democracy on the cur rency question. That position has not been changed for the better since Congress met, but rather for the worse. The Re- publicans in Congress are sounder and the Democrats more shaky on this issue than we had supposed Such being the case, it is the plain duty of the Republican leaders in Congress to "force the fighting" on that issue rather than on the old war questions. Mir. Blaine has not done this. He has very ably and frankly expressed his VII views but he has not yet forced the Democracy upon the record in opposi- tion to them. Perhaps this may yet be done, but there is at least an appearent Lesita- tion on the part of Republicans in Congress which seems to us neither shrewd policy nor sound statesmanship.
 If we are not mistaken in the leaders, therefore, under Blaine the chief Repub- lican attack of the coming campaign would be made on the Southern wing of our op- ponents, relying on renewed Northern distrust of the Southern white, now re- stored to polite al power in most South ern States. Under Bristow, on the other hand, the main attack would be on the [ndatlon section of the Democratic line of battle. In other words, with Blaine we should fight on the issues of "A; with Bristow. on the issues of '75, with the ad- ditional assurance that our success wonld be another great victory for Reform.

The situation of MT. Orville Grant, brother of the president, is not a pleasant one. He admits having begged trader ships of his brother, and then, selling them out to real traders for consideration. In some he claims an interest still; but the important fact that he sold his influence with his brother for money is admitted in his own testimony.

THE MORAL WARFARE.


When Freedom on her natal day,
Within her war-rocked cradle lay,
An iron race around her stood,
Baptsed her infant brow in blood;
And, through the storm which round her ="eW'
Their constant ward and watching kept.
Then, where oar quiet herds reposc'
The roar of baleful battle rose,
And brethren OF common tongue
To mortal strife as tigers sprung,
And every gift on Freedoms shrine
Was man for beast, and blood for wine
Our sathers TO their graves have gone
Their strife Is past, their triumph won;
But sterner trials wait the race
Which rises in their houored place,
A moral warfare with the crime
And folly OF an evil time.
So let it be. In Gods own might
We grid us for the coming fght,
And, strong in Him whose cause is ours
In conflict with uDholy powers,
We grasp the weapons He has given.

How to Make Money

We will state that the surest, hes and speediest
way to "multiply and increase" is to call at No IL
wall Street, New York, and consult with Alex

These gentlemen who have long been identln nee
with the history and Affairs Of Wall street, are I'M
usually skilled in monetary affairs, and in every.
thing appertaining to speculation, are uneXcelled
Tor ability and proficiency. 1t may also be said
that OF the many Brokers in that city they are not
only the the most popular, but also the most sue
cessful, best patronized, and most widely known
in or near the vicinity OF Wall Street
Among the customers OF the house OF Alex.

business almost colossal in its proportions. In fact,
the amount of business done by this house in the

truth OF the above statement.
How they manage to convert $40 to $40, $50 into
