yention have a much more disagreeable
task before them than can be very we'll
appreciated by those who do not understand
the situation. e-------4.--
There is no question Of doubt that
Grant will certainly offer himself for a
Third Term, and he will do this, knowing
at the same time that there is an elemen:
in his party who ere strongly anti-Grant.
But with the army of Office holders who
are dependent upon his clemency for their
bread and butter, and the riff raft Of the
party who cling to the skirts of his coat
tail, and have certain axes of their own to
grind through the would-be-Impera-
tor. will be the support that Pres
ident Grant will place his depend
ance for support in. With the openly
avowed opposition that has been made to
Grant strongly in his own party, if be
thrusts himself before tho National Con-
9ention, it will be scene in this political
drama that will be extremely unpleasant
to the actors.
1t will be like the ghost of Banquo Al
he feast Of Macbeth, intruding itself at
time when it is least needed. OF course it
would place Mr.. Blaine in very unpleas-
ant position and cause Morton, who is
strong prospective candidate, considers
bic annoyance, but the ghost Of Grant
will be as persistent then and there, as he
is in the White House in the flesh.
That Grant will be defeated, is just as
positive as that he will offer himself. But
it will cause embarrassment, as the Grant
element will have q certain amount Of
representation which will exp, ess their dis
satisfaction in demonstrative manner and
wiring bitter tears of repentance from the
secessionists Of the party. To correct tits
subject, which will form an important one
in the approaching election, to the Repub-
lican party, is the reason of the early
marshalling Of the hosts. 1t is to begin
the work as early as posible. Find out
the Graat element, and if possible, con-
vince them that the patty has tired Of
Grant, and for its safety he must be de-
fsated Somebody else must come to %he
frent.
1t will be either Bristow, Morton, or
Blaine. With these three everything
would flow as smoo hly as water in the
Convention, but if the Ghost Of Gran,
with the smaller evils of Office holders
and Carpet baggers is to trail before the
BODY, then you may look out
for frst-claos party row.

From the Troy Times.
Recently administer, residing near Cres.
cent, went three miles from home to per.
form wedding ceremony. After the
couple had been pronounced man and
wife, the happy groom drew up chair,
and, seating himself, said, in a voice loud
enough TO be heard all over the room :
"Well, how much is it ?' The clergy
mans surprise may be easily imagined.
As soon az he had recovered from it SUI
ficiently to do so, he replied: "Oh, ]
never ret any price on such little matters .
" Well" replied the groom, but want
to know. How much is it ?" "Any-
thing you like, replied the clergyman.
That won't do" replied the groom,
" I'm bound to know 10 you may az
we'll tell me-" Seeing that things were
getting desperate, friend of the newly
married pair called him aside and whia-
pered to him. This seemed to do no good,
for, returning to the vacant chair, the
groom again commenced conversation
with the remark, Pretty hard times,
amt it?" Yes," replied the clergy
man. "Oh, come now," said Benedict,
tell me how mnch it is and have done
with it." But the minister didn't tell, and
the father of the bride relieved him lust
then by remarking that he would attend
to the matter. And thus it stood for a
while, when to the dominie's great sur
surprise, the bride appeared upon the
scene. She walked up and laid three one
dollar bills upon his knee, enc at a time,
counting in loud voice as she did 20,

BAYARD A BOURBON.

IF the Democracy want Bourbon for
the Presidency they will find him a Bay
ard, for among all the mep Of prominence
in this country there is surely no better
type Of those "who never learn, and never
forget anything" than Mr.. Thomas F.
Bayard. In all of his speeches-and he
makes them in season and out Of season-
he takes great pains to show that he be-
longs entirely to the past, and seems to
glory in having no part or lot in the cur
rent time.-Ncws and Advertiser.
Ifthe above paper means by the word
Bourbon to reflect in any way upon Mr..
Bayard's sterling integrity, both as a gen.
tleman in principle, Statesman Of
fair argument and reason in law, it has
certainly missed the mark very far. Simply
because Mr.. Bayard does not go of into
the most lofty peorations and give daz-
zling displty of rhetorical fireworks, he is
classed as behind the age. Hence the
reason for the above named paper calling
him a Bourbon. Mr.. Bayard is a
Bourbon so far as he clings to the old doc
trincs of democracy advocating the es-
sence of the cause with that soundness
OF thought which echoes the Jacksonian
principles. 1t is in clear, forcible argu-
m mens that Mr.. Bayard presents his
thoughts to the public. There is none Of
that verocity of language which appears
to make up the class Of oratory generally
popular with the veneerings Of political
parties at the present time.
1t is from this that Mr. Bayard is clear,
and it is this which makes such papers as
the Philadelphia Press and the Milford
Nsus speak in disparagement Of his worth
as Statesman, for Mr.. B'yard lays no
claim whatever to the name of politician.
If he is Bourbon, it would be we'll for
the country if we had many just such
Bourbons as he is.
Those who have progressed to that
high state which the Neps states
Mr.. B yard has not, and which state
is beyond Bourbonism, have not shown
by their examples that Mr.. Bayard
has lost anything by adhering to the old
doctrines of his party, which has brought
upon him the name of Bourbonism from
our learned Peninsula exchange. Take
that model statesman, that champion ora
tor Of the present day; that astute politi-
clan; that paragon of honesty; that quin-
tesence of dignity in Office; that invulnera-
BILE foe to bribe and present-taking, the
Pre- ident of these United States, I. S.
Grant, and then we suppose we have a
man, who has ascended beyond the plane
of Bourbonism, and attained that excel
lence of craftsmanship that the News finds
fault that Mr. Bayard has not reached.
We must say that we offer thanks to Mr.
Bayard as noble representative Of the
Democratic party, that he is a Bourbon,
and does not reflect modern statesmanship
if the vindiea,ive Morton, impious Blaine
and venal Grant are the fairest samples
OF this class Of craftsmanship that can
be offered,

regretted in Virginia. The Richmond
Enquirer is disappointed, but says: 'Tht
debate was profitable, as it gave member
on both sides an opportunity to avow po
litical sentiments of most conciliatory
character, thereby showing that there il
little if any, hostility to the National
Government among the people or repre-.
sentative men Of Virginia"
The school question, the taxation ol
church property, free trade, protection,
amnesty to jefferson Davis, and the Cuban
revolution, The Baltimore Gazette tells the
Democratic leaders in Congress and the
Democratic newspaper, are Proitless
questions for the approaching campaign, and
must be abandoned if the party means to
elect the next President. 1t adds: THE
keynote of the great campaign, is the res-
toration ef the Government to honesty and
economy, to retrenchment and reform"
The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Herald has been studying the Pres
idential question, and comes to the con-
clusion that the nomination on the Repuh-
Iican side now lies between Mr.. Blaine
and Senator Morton, with a very large
possibility that Governor Hayes may come
in as compromise candidate. Sen
a!or Conkling, he thinks, is only
strong in ''the ability to derange the plans
of those whom he deems his rivals" The
correspondent adds: "The two men to
whom the Democratic nomination to-day
is possible are Hendricks and Thurman"
This is certainly the opportunity for a
Statesman in Congress-if plentiful lack
Of Statesmanship on on exciting question
be any proof Of an opportunity. The
Utica Observer emphasizes the point for
Mr.. Rsscoe Conkling's benefit, and call.
on him to improve it. 1t suggests that il
he Possesses any part OF the wisdom and
foresight which his friends ascribe to him,
he will offset the wild work of the House
BY an act of Statesmanship in the Senate,
reporting bill for celebrating the Con-
tennial year by an amnesty without ex-
ceptions. 1t insists that if Mr.. Conkling
should rise to this hight he might have
chance for the nomination Of his party.
There seems to be one thing upon which
the papers Of nearly all shades Of politics
are agreed concerning the Amnesty de.
bate, and that is that it has accomplished
no good purpose. Admirers of Blaine
agree with those Of Cox that the sooner
the subject is dropped, the better will it be
for all parties. The Boston advertiser puts
this common view &s follows "It can
lead to M vood Possibly one nsrtv or tho
other may get Temporary advantage. But
the country must suffer. We are midway
between the anniversaries Of two great his
toric events. The music of enc of them
is still ringing in our ears The prepare.
tions for the next and greater one are a.
ready far advanced. There is no room now
Tor these intruding phantoms from the dead
past, with their jargon and discord. Send
them back to their own place."
