BALSLEY, the would be critic of the
Findlay Jeffersonian, says the Cleve
land Herald has been ''enSmdLLed'
We presume he meant by that, that
the paper had been reduced in size

All! yes. Beli:tled, as it were-cut
down, abbreviated, cur-tailed, shorten
ed, narrowed, Abridged, made smaller.

bre, reduced in size" Sorry we
puzzled brother Wickham so, but real
ly we thought it so significant a term
that even an obfusticated intellect
could not fail to catch the meaning.
Oliver Wendall Holmes once, in des
cribipg the effects of one OF his humor-
Gus pieces upon an individual, declared
that since then he had not dared "to
write as funny as | cau;" and so here
after, when wishing TO edify the editor
of the Reflector, we will endeavor 10
heed the apotbegrm Little crafts
should keep near shore" But how to
do it will be the puzzle. For if We say
enlarged, he will forthwith say we
mean extended in size," when we may
mean expanded in size, in capacity, in
bulk; or if we say enriched, he may
declare that we meant his pile of mon
ey has been increased sin size" while
we may mean that he had been en-
riched in thought, in health, in sub
stance; just as when we said "ensmal!-
ed" we meant that it had been "Ie-
duced" not Sin size" alone, but in
matter. substance, variety, &C." But
we aOiH try and be more considerate,
hereafter, brother.

and the people through their represen-
tatiyes are heard from.
The Republican party can maintain
its unity in the North by letting the
policy alone, and that is all, from pres
ent appearances, that can be hoped
for. The Importance of unity here is
demonstrated from the fact that the
policy hes not, and is not likely to pro.
duce the result expected at the South.
DIR. Redfield, of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, whose opinions upon the sub
iect, from long continued residence
South, are entitled to respect, regards
a break in the Democratic ranks as al
together impossible, at least for long
time to come, and says On the subject:
''Tbe determination to mass the
whites of the South practically into
one party and throw a solid South for
the Democratic candidate in 1880 will
probably succeed. It looks that way
now. In some of the border Southern
States, the Republican party, under
the wise administration of President
Hayes, is making little progress, but
that a single Southern State will be
carried for any other party than the
Democratic in 1880 l do not now be-
lieye. Those who manifest an inde-
pendent turn of mind will be whipped
back into line, and the old order of
things continue. Three years is some
distance to see ahead, but from what
observations can make, every one of
the 138 electoral votes of the South
will be given to the Democratic candi-
date at the next Presidential election.
L wish | could say otherwise, but the
South seems to be hopelessly solid on
national issues, with no prospect of a
break sufficient to carry a single State
for any other than the straight Demo-
cratic ticket.

So far the operation of the "policy'

They will not object to allowing the

OLD UsUFRUCT, at the Manhattan
sociable, just before Hendricks retired
to Europe, couldn't contain his morti-
fication any longer and walled forth !:
'This is the first time in American
history that anybody has ever pretend
ed that the government of this great
country was handed over to any set
of men through fraud"
The New York Herald, which does
not float the Republican flag, repu-
dates this declaration and says that
instead of its being the first time it is
the third, the Wigs having persistent
ly maintained that Polk was elected in
1874 over Clay by systematic, enorm-
Gus, atrocious frauds" and the Demo
Gratis in 1926 declaring that John
Quincy Adams was elected over Jack
son by a corrupt bargain. The record
shows that Jackson had 155, ,S72 popu-
lar votes against 105, 321 for John
Quincy Adams, and ninety nine elec-
toral votes against eighty-fonr for
Adams and yet Adams was made Pres
ident. The Herald adds, however,
''that although it is not true, as Mr.
Tilden declares that this is the first
time in our his history that defeated
political party has ascribed its disap-
pointment to fraud, there is one thing
which is quite unexampled. Until Mr..
Tilden made his singular speech at tie
Manhattan Club there was never an
instance OF defeated candidate for
the Presidency coming voluntarily be-
fore the public to parade his disap-
pointment. 1t says further that the
parade of their disappointment by the
defeated candidates is indelicate, un-
dignified, unmanly, unusual and re.
gardless of the tranquility and busi
ness interests of the country"

THE valor of the Greeks at Thermo-
pyla has been equaled by the Monten-

were reinforced and again assailIng
the Montenegrin's stronghold, obliged
them to retire to their fastnesses.
Later reports say there was a heavy
engagement, on Saturday last between
1000 Montenegrins and 10, 900 Turks,
near Rasnoglavia, in which the Turks
we're defeated with loss of2, 600 dead
on the field, and other reports say that

Chief Justice Waite, who has Just
returned from the South, where he he:
been holding circuit court, says he re.
mained in Charleston, S. c., three
weeks and during that tine not one
social call was made upon bin or his
daughter who was with him, by the old
citizens OF that place. ne was CON-
pletely ignored by the ex rebel elemt MT
and was treated 10y the society Of
Charleston more like an outcast and
criminal than a gentleman, and the
highest judicial officer in the Govern
ment. He was not pleased with his
Charleston experience. and his views
as to the rebels in South Carolina hav-
ing become thoroughly reconciled and
disposed to accept in good faith the
situation, have been materially modi-
fed. There is much indignation here
among Judge Waite's friends as the
treatment accorded him, and the Pres
ident and members of the Cabinet
seem greatly astCnished.
The above is among the special tele-
grams to paper deeply in love with
the conciIatory policy which was to
introduce the era Of universal broth
erhood." The miIieuium has not set
dawned in the South, nor are North
ern men yet absolved from the crime
of having been born out of the South.
Judge Waite is not the only one whose
views have been "molifed" in regard
to the good faith of the ex rebels.

THE Bucyrus JouraGi, State Journal
and some other papers throughout the
State are discussing the prop-irty CT a
change OF the location Of the State
Convention to Columbus. The Teas-
ons urged fcT its being held IN Coium-
bus are good, aud should have intiu-
enced the Central Committee liz their
selection. But as they did not, there
is little use Of objection. The fact that
there was bat small attendance Of the
Committee at the meeting was not the
fault of those who were there, and as
the matter has been decided, those who
were not there should attribute the
fact to their non-attendanee, and ac-
cept the result as placidly as possible.
We believe Columbus would have been
the better place, and have better ac-
commodated the masses, but are not of
those who regard the location of the
