Rsgg The main trouble in estimating
the strength of the national party is to
tell when the wind leaves off and the
votes begin. --New York Tribune

pay The New London telegram
thinks that another Democratic House
of Representatives would not be so bad
in the end, for "it would make dead
sure thing of the election of Repub.
lican President in 1880"
BsgH If the Democrats expect to elect
President two. years hence they had
better pay attention to all forms of in.
dependentism in the South. This ad.
vice is disinterested, sound, and freely

BE9~ The Congressional Republican
Committees accounts from all quarters
are very favorable and encouraging.
If the party in New England does its
duty by carrying every Republican dis
trict, as can be done on clean Repub-
lican platform, the next Congress will
be Republican.--BoS Traveller.
D9~ If Tilden thinks the country is a
horse that is going to stand still four
years to let him climb up into the sad
die in 1880, because another fellow got
his seat in 1876, he has mistaken the
nature of the animal, and is doomed to
disappointment NelU York Express

BSs" One of the most curious things
about the nominations of the new Ma
tional or Workingmen's party is, that
as general thing it is not the horny
handed sons of toll, but wealthy cap
italists that get the best positions on
their ticket. This is especially true
with regard to their Congressional
nominees. Pittsburgh Dispatch

men of the North to take the lead in
cutting off the tail. Cincinnati Gazette.
Ra5r. There wasn't much that was
definite enough to be commented upon
in Hendricks speech, but perhaps the
most unnecessary piece of foolishness
in it was the using of Voorhees, ex-
ploded assertion that the Fourteenth
Amendment is a complete bar to the
payment of Southern claims. ~ Y
Times.
BaS~ Mr.. Nation Marbles disclosure
demonstrates what was suspected be-
fore, but not proven, that Tilden is one
of the most selfish, desperate and dan
gerous party leaders in the country.
We know now that if the country was
not precipitated into a civil war in 1876
it was not the fault of Samuel j. Tilden.

Committee is fitting document to fol-

This is the position the Republican
party throughout the union must hold
unflinchingly, for the country's honor

BS- The solid South is more solid
than ever, and as Mr.. Foster says, "a
solid Democratic South means the con-
troll of the country by the spirit and the
men who sought its destruction. We
do not by any means wish to be under
stood as holding the President respon-
Sible for this state of things. That
would be most unjust. We hold the
Southern Democrats responsible for it.
They have abused his kindness out
and taken advantage of his
leniency to make the solid South more
solid.-IndianapOkS Journal.

forth the folly of the Democratic
demand for the taxation of

taxation the United States makes money.
because it gains in interest saved more
than it could possibly get in taxes.
Again, were the bonds taxed, not only
would it be necessary to pay more in
-erest, but the bonds would be worth
more out of the country than in it, and
would go abroad, where the interest
would have to follow them, but where
the tax-gatherer would be powerless. :"
Rs9~ We are by no means prepared
10 deny good intentions to many of the
Democratic leaders or to the mass of
heir followers. But under universal
suffrage the tendencies of parties are
more potent than intentions, and we
are quite within the record when we
say that the tendencies of the Democ-
'acy of to-day are not toward reform,
but toward decentralization, not toward

part of the Government, but toward
