Poor Schur7 Wonder what party
he will now lead! What an opportuni-
ty that cultured and eminently intellec.
tual German has lost! 1t was the mis-
take of his lifetime!
Ridiculous-the idea of running such
weak vessel as Hayes against the man
who beat Dix, the strongest New \ ork-
err in the Republican party, $4,000
votes.
Too MUCK troops in the Southern
States helped to beat Radcalism, a
boomerang is very bad weapon some
times.
Who so dead now as Carl Scburz
All the other Republican leaders are
simply beaten-Carl schurz is oblltera-
ted.
Hayes didn't resign his Governor
ship Not much. He saw the hand
writing on the wall.
The Democratic rarty is the liveIiest
old corps they ever saw. SO think the
Republicans.
What an army OF patriots will march
out Of office about the 1des OF March

GOOD honest Democrats.
Beast Butler has been elected TO Con-

Baltimore city rolled mp 10000 for
Democracy and Reform on Tuesday.
Lay aside his little bayonets; he will
never need them more. Gone to meet

Look ont for the national credit
The great calamity is to come, you
know.
Gen'l n. p. Banks was defeated in
his candidacy for Congress in MaSsa-
chusetts by rockingham, and Gen.
Hawley in the first district Of Connec-
ticut.
Neary evey true Union soldier in
Berkeley county voted the Tilden tick
ct. The roustabouts voted for Hayes
We believe it was Hayes grand
mother that propheced that he would
be elected President Of the United
States We'll the old lady was only
mistaken, that's all.
Golf and Lamon did not expect to be
elected. They only thought their can
didacy would make them prominent for
an appointment under IIayes-or in
other words they passed for euchre,
but the election of Tilden euchred both
Of them.
Peter Cooper late candidate for Pres
ident of the United States, is confined
to his house by sickness.
Grant prophecied on the day of cleo
ton that the chances in favour of Hayes
were three to one. lie is a good
prophet.
Hayes says he would have discount
enanced the use of troop if he had been
managing the campaign. Sensible
man.
What has become of that "sponta-
neous and enthusiastic uprising Of the
North" of which Mizzer Chandler
spoke?
Peter Cooper deserves credit for not
hanging around wraugling over the
doubtful States.
Tilden gets more votes-both Of the
popular and electoral-outsde of the
states which composed the "Confedera-
cy than in them. 1t is much like q
solid North.
Tilden's majority on the popular vote
rams up towards half million, yet Hayes
is trying TO sneak into the Presidential
chair.
Boss Shepherd failed for 100000
the second day after Tilden's election.
He was one of the ''business men" who
wanted Hayes elected.
If Grant persists in forcing Hayes in
at the point of the bayonet, Govern.
ment securities will feel the effect.
The day it was clearly understood
that Tilden was elected gold declined
and government securities stood firm.
Uncle Sammy will have a strong
Democratic majority in the House to
back him, with Senate only nominally
against him.
The RAIDS are rejoicing in the re-elec-
ton of Ben Butler to Congress. He
will be the successor Of Blaine as the
Radical leader Of the opposition and
their representative man. Fortunately,
with Tilden in the White House, and
majority in the Lower House against
him, Ben will be powerless for mis-

The "Solid South" did the business.
Next time a "Solid North" will fall into
the same Democratic line and through

Ninety thousand office, holders and
100000 Republican betters are grasping
