When III LIBERAL. Republican mpye-
men. was guratedam 1879 it waa hut
speck in the political horizon, an aglta.
ton against the administration. It hao
for its object the dethronement Of that 3D.
ministration, q very laudable object cers
tainly. whenwe know the injustice q. that
power and the very progress OF it toward
C@sarism, which has now become matter
fact and not of conjecture. If its star rose
bright in the firmanent Of the political sky,
and went down in the cloud Of Greeley's
defeat, it does not take one ray from the
purity of the motive that gave it life; not
one scintilation of wisdom from the
course of its pursuit, and from Cincinnati
to Baltimore, and through the struggles OF
contest 1t winged its way, accepted defeat
gracefully with untarnished colors, but
convinced that the move was at the wrong
time to cope against the mighty influences
of party with the whole government and
its treasury to support them. Yielded the
field to the conquerers, and gave the I'm
plemen.s Of war to those who are enlisted
in the fight against the abuse OF ONCE
prostitution Of administrative authority,
and corruption in National Government.
In the coming contest there will be no
Liberals, no difference Of party lines, In
the powerful array against the Republican
ticket union of hearts ia the triumph
of an honest cause; no South, no North,
East or West, but all enchained in the one
object, with similarity of thought and
ideas. The accomplishment is foretold in
the force Of the combination, and the idea
is the poetry of the victory that is to fol-
low. If we laid our resources simply in
the cgolistical idea and erratic thoughts
that party can win without organization,
it would preconceive disaster and plan the
Waterloo of the Democratic party. But
| where all cliques and factions have sur
rendered to the leaders, all the tribu-
t. ries flow to the fountain source and
swell it to a mighty volume, all the sinew,
bone and muscle Of the different forces are
centered in one, all straining in one direc-
ton, then the handwriting upon the wall
reads very plainly, Downfall of the Re
publican party
This Mr.. Bayard has very wisely re-
marked, since the defeat Of the Liberal
movement, was the only source of Demo-
cratic hope. Thorough organization, free
field is broad and ample before them. His
fine k aowledge ofparty forces, and itsstrate-
gical powers enabled him to make this
prophecy. Its truth is told in the indica-
tions of the hour. The tendencies are the
compass points Of the party needs, and
point to the best man for the party's good.
That man the National Convention must
decide, he must be the choice of Liberals
Independents and all as one, and his name

THE celebration Of the birthday Of
Thomas Paine, in many portions Of the
United States, awakens afresh the varying
interests Of pleasure and denunciation felt
in the history Of this remarkable man;
remarkable in many respects; remarkable
in his talents and genius; remarkable for
his antagonism to accepted truths, and re-
markable for his individuality of charac-
ter. In the former Of these distinctive
features of the man, he was truly pre-
eminent, peer Of the bright lights which
surrounded him and co-labored with him
in dissecting the country from its tyrannies
and establishing its independence and the
fountain source OF its Federal laws. In
the second he lifted his pen, which had
done such good service as with diamond
point, against the accepted truths inspired
by holy teachings, undermined a gilded
reputation, tumbled it to ruins and filled
it with dross. As an individual character
he was the composition Of originality, un.
initiative, but separate and distinct, there
fore valuable in many arguments for that
reason. But whatever were his faults, he
is now dead, and we should overlook them
and praise the memory Of those parts o.
.his. life which were valuable. The mis-
deeds Of life man must atone for to Hi

Well. the little one horse, malicious
politicians managed to get slap at
Bristow. in a manner peculiarly chsrac-
teristic Of their small souls. Some of
the New York friends Of the honest
Kentuckian. thought they would pay
him compliment. They proposed him
as member Of the Union League Club
of New York. On scrutinizipg the
ballots, !, was found that he had been
blacsballed. Yes. some OF the members
OF club, supposed to represent par ex.
cellence. the Union sentiment of the
great city Of New York, were actually
mean enough to safely insult with the
cheap method Of blackballing q man
who has done 80 much to discover and
punish rogues aud to protect the iu-
terest and honor Of the country. No
wonder the great mass Of the members
were honestly and intensely indignant.
II was not only petty insult directed
by impotent malice, against an homes.
aud capable official, but was q stain on
the homo, Of the club. Nobody did it.
OF course nobody would own it, but
nevertheless there was the shameful
fact. The whisky ring with its allies of
corrupt politicians and dishonest OIL
cials. could not successfully meet or
destroy Bristow in public. but they
could stab him in the back 10 the house
Of his frie nds. OF course the petty
slight will amount to nothing. Bristow

timation Of the purer and better element
OF the club. The circumstance is signi-
hcant OF the envenomed hate OF a power.

Is identified. Among the mass of its
members. Bristow undoubtedly takes
high rank. BY them he is admired an
respected. Not so with the wirepullers,
the pipe-layers. the ward managers, the
bar-room leaders of the organization.
BY them Bristow Is hated like poison
and with reason, for to them he is Just
a. fatal. II he controls, their occupation
Is gone and they know it. Unluckily
however, they have and do to great ex-
tent manipulate and direct the move
ments Of the party. That very condition
OF things made us say what we have 30
often observed, that in Cincinnati Bris-
tow would bc slaughtered. The pro-
fessional politicians, the Indian and the
official rings, the bureaucracy general
ly, will not touch him. He and they
are antagonistic. They must have more
pliable and manageable material than
Bristow is made OF. Therefore as those
very men will rule the roast at Cincin.
natl. Bristow's chance ia very slim.
They sneer at his claims which they
call o sentiment. Other folks would
call it quality and very noble one,
for it ia honesty. People however differ
in their ideas about that matter. How
the ringsters and their official allies re-.
gard it is we'll exemplifed by those
illomened black balls deposited in the

The process is introduced between the

there is any lead in the rock it is saved
or thrown aside, as desired. II is saved
entirely separate from the gold and in a
metallic form in little Jumps. From this
residue of sulphurets, paint can be
made which the inventor claims will pay
all the expense of the process. This
residue is from the sulphurets them
selves. and is reduced to another form
to make the paint, which is saved or
not, as desired.
