Women's and Mems Quarrels.


Two men were walking down the street in

lowed by two dogs. The men were talking

OFFICE IN JEFFERSON BUILDING"
The Hand Writing On The Wall.

According to the ratio in which events are
now progressing, the o-caled Republicans will
lose all the res pectable members Of their party
bv the end Of October. Public recantations Of
Grantism are being made almost daily, the
writer's and speakers basing their change OF
views upon the ground that administrative re-
form and honest government cannot be hoped
for under Hayes, whilst they are obtainable un-
der Tilden. To such an extent does this feel
ing exist, and so lucidly and forcibly are the
views ofthese converts to Democracy expressed,
that we might be content to leave the argu-
meut of our cause to these gentlemen, coufning
ourselves TO simply spreading forth their opin-
ions throughout the Union.
No worse indictment could be brought a
gainst the present Republican managers than
their treatment Of the honest and capable chiefs
Of their party, Salmon P. Chase, Charles Sum
ner, Horace Greoly, ostracised and dying from
bitterness of heart at seeing into what hands
the government Of their country had fallen ;
the "old watch deg Of the Treasury" f. f..
Spinner. persecutej and driven into exile, so
that the wolves might run riot in the fold ;
Bristow squelched; jewell removed, so that
the mails may be property managed " during
the present canvass and many other public
officers similarly treated in order that cur pres
eut Doge may carry out the designs Of his
Council of Ten" who are resolved to have a
like pliatle Dogc to succeed him.
The rejecting aud honest men Of the Re-
publican party viii not stand this treachery to
tie Union any longer When such honest
names as those of William C. Bryant, Parke
Goodwin and Hiram Barney lead the van Of
protest, followed by SO eminent statesman as
Charles Francis Adams. and so profound po-
litical thinker as Prof Sumner, Of Yale, the
present rulers Of the crumbling organization
which met lately at Cincinnati know full well
tLat "Mene, Meme, Tekel Upharsin " is
inscribed by the hand Of destiny on their BAN
rers. When such recognized leaders Of pub
lie opinion as those we have named, with 9TH
ers Of equal prominence who are preparing TO
follow, thus forsake their former associations
iu supreme disgust, we may rest assured tba,
the rank and file Of tie party are resolved to
cmullte their action.
