Points In Politics.

-Conklng is watching the Presidential
tide and will take it at the flood.
The Boston Post says that the talk Of
Grant for the Presidency is federalism gone
to seed"
The Southern press teaches that din
dependentism" is an alliance with "radical-
ism" Its frantic invctive betrays its alarm.
In counting upon the control Of the new
House of Representatives democratic jour
mails show Il decided lessenng of confidence.
Burlington Ha,ekeyc -" The only
trouble with President Hayes appears to be
that he is an eight-inch man in four-foot
mortisc."
-Kearney has the same rank in relation
TO the vulgar drayman as the carpet knight
TO the real soldier. After all he is only a
palace carman.
The Boston Traveller acknowledges that
"party ties are weak" and that "there is no
longer common bond of union in the re-
publican party of the country"
Cleveland Leuder: "The "solid South >
under the inspiring voice Of jefferson Davis,
is doing some very good campaign work for
the republican party"
-Courier-Jou1nal:- -"The only man who
could carry us back into the jaws of the
great danger to liberty, from which we have
recently seemed to permanently escape, is
General Grant"
The Baltimore Gazette says that the
"third termers" are now noisy minority of
the republicans. They are putting forward
their man too soon. "His chances are rotten
before they are ripe"
When Kearney bade farewell to his
constituents at the "sand lots" he said, ~
stand at the head of the grandest organiza-
ton in the world, with a reputation as pure
and unsullied as the opening of the dawn"
Boston Herald: "The idea that General
Grant will decline to be q candidate (for
President) is absurd. He will not work for
the nomination, but if it is offered him he
will take it as coolly as he would a fresh
cigar" ..
Philadelphia Press; General Grants
travels in all the kingdoms of Europe and
his acquaintance with the rulers and promi-
net statesmen will give him a fund of prac-
teal knowledge that will be of great service
to him should he be again elected to the
Presidency"
--Kearney-"The coming summer, in
stead of loading our ships with wheat, boys,
we'll pack them with these moon-eyed lepers
and send them back to their Flowery King
dom, never more to force our children into
hoodlumsm and our parents to starvation"
Springfield RepuJHcan:-"It is reported
that Butler is laboring in the intervals OF
his committee work on lopg speech, to be
mainly occupied with Massachusetts affairs
and State issues, which he will deliver when
called upon to respond to an independent
nomination for Governor"
Atlanta ConStitution:-"We think it
safe to say that the democrats will control
the new House by not less than thirty ma
jority. This belief is based partly on the
dissatisfaction existing in the republican
party and partly on the hope and strength
that permeate the democratic ranks"
Savannah Recorder: "We want ma
tional partyj one that would heal the breach
and cover up and smother sectional hates,
animosities and old issues. Confidence be-

servatism begets conservatism, and broad
national questions will develop broad ma
tional men in each and every section of the
Union.
Philadelphia PTeSS:-"If the republi-
cans of the Third Congressional district
think Of seriously contesting Mr.. Randalls
reelection they must nominate sound, un-
Ainching member of their party, who can
bring out its whole strength; one who
can discuss the issues of the day and proper
| ly represent the interests of the district in
Congress. The nationals intend to put q
strong candidate in the field, in that as well
as all the other city districts, except Judge
Kellcy's.
In these words does the Boston Post be-
stow its blessing upon the republicans
"Their doom as party is evidently sealed
For this reason they call on Grant to come
back and save them. The country to-day
has got beyond Grant in its politics. Iti.
preparing for different and greater things
As for the security of the federal Union and
the perpetuity of republican government
these trouble them nothing, All they crave

swell with phrases of patriotism when they
mean only Capitalization"
