TINES asserts, gives John Sherman
one hundred and thirty-elght votes
from the South In the next nomi-
mating Convention of the Republi-
can party. John ought to have 'em
all. There Is nothing of the Repub-
lican party in the South but its Of
fce-holders, and Johns grip on
them Is fierce.
The Galveston Nei0s says: The
last Presidential election having
proved, what was never before sus-
pected, that the counting of the
votes may be of more consequence
than the number of votes polled, II
becomes Congress to make provis-
ion that the next choice of the peo-
pie, unlike the last, shall reach
the White House. The citizens
stood the defeat of their choice
once; they would scarcely do so a
second time.
The Louisville Courier.Jouynal
paragraphs thus: The st. Louis
Globe Democrat interviewed the
Ohio editors as they passed through
that city. or forty-one Republi-
cans, twenty-three were found to
be for Sherman, eleven for Grant,
two for Hayes, two for Garfield,
and three non-committal. OF the
nineteen Democrats, fourteen were
for Thurman, three for Tilden and
two ommittal.--The Chi
cago Journal insists that the Re-
publican party was born at con-
vention called by Illinois editors
and held at Decatur in that State,
in the spring of 1854. We hope our
Republican fellow-citizens will de.
eide where lfeir party was born, as
the contention is getting little
monOtonous. Four or five States
claim to have been the locality of
the "borning" of the monster
The Republicans of Massachusetts,
could we'll afford to give General
Butler $4,000 to remove out of the
State. 1t took about that sum, be.
sides much wear and tear of lungs,
to defeat him for Governor last
year, and it will take about the
same amount and similar effort to
defeat him this. He has at least
nine more good races in him, and
he is determined to keep on till be
makes the landing. We take no
stock in Benjamin, but this is the
way the case stands.
