eight or ten years past has been growing steadily
worse offers no very alluring promise to genuine re-
formers Carl Schurz mado good application of u
current political bon mot in the justification Of polit-
cal fence riding, because there was much mud
both SIDES
Syracuse IN. W Courier:-"The gentlemen of the
Conference had plenty OF ability but little experience
in politics. which accounts for their wordy address
the people These independents have no place In
American politics to-day. The people are bound TO
support the of tho the other OF the
great political parties. They have tried experiments
enough, and cannot expect that they will look with
any great favor upon the independent movement"
Troy IN. " Whg:-"Thc Ohio democrats are bold
The State Convention dened public sentiment by
clccting George II. Pendleton it's President This
blow at public and private honesty. II Pendeton is
honest man, after the proof that he took some
$4,000 Tor nominal services on a claim that IL bad,
ought not to have been paid, and II good, ought to
have gone to the railroad, then Belknap ought to DO
considered honest The claim paid to Pendeton was
not a valid one, and II IL acknowledged by General
Dunn government officer, that 1t rejected on its
merits and ultimately paid on the personal innu-
ence of Pendlc,on. Pendlc,on wrongcd the govern
ment OF the whole claim and pocketed nearly all Of
IT, Bcknap did not take dollar of government money"

brought forward for the Presidency and there's cleo
trici,y in the name. Iowa will propose him TO the
Republican Convention He would run like the chol-
era and could get votes for President than any

rising. Lato Tvs from Washington Is TO tho effect
that Conkhng will have the delegations from Kansas
and Nebraska Conking has at least four Of the Ar
kansas delegation and u larger number from the Geor.
ga delegation. The others Of the last two States
named arc divided between Norton, Brlstow and
Blaine.n
Augusta (Ga) Constitutionaiist :-"UnIcss there arc
some new and startling developments in the next
thirty days would seem that Governor Tldcn would
certainly secure the prize even II the twothrds ruls
be adopted, as he is gaming all tho while We trust,
however this ruIo will not DO adopted at 81 Louis.
The republicans have succeeded very well without u
for twenty years. and there reason why II
should longer defeat the majority in the democratic
party"

had TO be cleaned Hercules called to undertake
the job, and he did Il by turning big river through
