the Maine Democrats in 1867. They
would have told him to sliffen his back.
Burlington Hawkeye (Rep.): We do
not understand what is the matter with
Ben. Hill. Somebody is restraining him.
The Republicans ought to look into this
and hire small boy to cut the tether.
New York Commercial Advertiser
(Rep.): The Administration may finally
decide the man of all others yet men,
toned best fitted to be sent to Russia is
Charles Francis Adams, ON account of
the climate.
Hartford Courant (Dem.): The people
know that the currency matter is at pres
ent pressing for settlement, and they wi II
respect the leaders who are not afraid to
settle it correctly even on the edge of a
Presidential campaign.
Syracuse Courier (Dem.) }: Senator Bay
ards joint resolution providing for the
abolition and repeal af the compulsory
legal-tender power now given by law to
the greenbacks, is seemingly growing in
favor with the country every day.
New Orleans Democrat (Dem.): What
ever may have once been the attitude of
the men who fought the civil war on the
Southern side toward the Federal Uniow
it is certain that there are now in the
country no citizens more devoid of sec
tional prejudices and partisan hostilities
than they.
Albany Express (Rep): The North
does not hate the South; but it does
doubt it's conservatism. The South is
revolutionary at heart, as its whole record
shows. The special session of Congress
and the spirit it aroused, alarmed the
North much more than any loose fnan-
cial propositions.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): What a
pity it would be if the electoral votes Of
Maine should be returned for the Demo
cratic candidate in 1880, by the same
process which secured Louisiana to the
Republicans in 1876! We have the
highest Republican authority, however,
for refusing in that case to "go behind
the returns"
Nashville Banner (Dem.): At the
Grant reception in Columbus, Ohio, the
other day, four of the speakers, who

ators. This would render necessary {
change of seven votes to carry it. These
Mr.. Bayard hopes to get from the Demo
cratic side of the Chamber. In no othel
way can he expect to carry the measure
New York Sun (Dem.): The Hon
VIM. E. Chandler says the Hon. Dor
Cameron has told him within week
that he is for Grant, "frst, last, and al
the time" and that Grants nomination
next year is now a foregone conclusion
no other Republican aspirant having the
ghost of chance against him. This sor
of talk will not commend the Hon. Dor
Cameron to the affection of the Hon
John Sherman and the Hon. James G.
Blaine, to say nothing of other self-appre
ciatve Republican statesmen who nigh
be named.
New York Times (Rep.): The remedy
Of the people of Maine for the wrong
which they have suffered is at the polls
The Courts can give chem no relief, as i
is a well-established principle that tn

With all his love of power and kee
