The town talk Is the Presidents message
From the Republican stand point it is an
admirable document, able, logical and
truthful. From the Democratic stand
point, it is sophistical and mere special
plea. Both sides are surprised at its en-
phasis in standing upon the Republican
ground. The Republicans who feared the
President would waver and offer same
weak point for compromises are highly
cated, while the Democrats, who did not
believe that the President would burn his
brighes against them, are apparently very
deeply disappointed. The more conserva-
tive of them say that the thing for them to
do now is to pass a resolution extending
the provisions of the last appropriation
acts to next winter, and go home to their
constituents for justification, but it looks as
though they might be poweress to control
the caucus, which seems inclined to fight to
the bitter end The President, by his Ian
guage, indicates that he is opposed to the
repeal of the laws objected to by the Dem
ocrats, whcthor upon appropriation bills or
otherwise.
Some excitement has been created in po
! litical circles by reports from different parts
of the country that SECRETARY shorss=rrl IS
labonng, through revenue officers and 9TH
ers, towork up the Sherman movement look
ing towards the Presidency. His ambition
is well known and he has been considerably
tlattered Of late. But this movement"
does not take well even among Republicans
and certainly the radical men of the party
do not take to it. In fact they feel very
bitter towards the secretary, In talking
with prominent radical, l learned that the
hostility was not to Sherman alone, but, to
use his language, to "any one who has had
anything to do with the sale of Louisiana
to the Nichols white livers." This man
declared that the Republicans would not
support any man who had q hand in the
policy" Of Hayes. Besides this it is not
likely that the "Sheman movement" can
gain any hold in the South. Only two men
at present seem to have any hold there.
These are Window and Grant. Senator
WINDOWS staunch Republicanism is
known there and everywhere, and
his popularity among colored voters would
give him nearly the solid Southern vote in
the national convention to-day were Gen.
Grant outof the way. As it is, he is
believed to be the favorie there, and GER
tainly he has support in the northwest,
which John Sherman can not take away
from him.
One Of the greenback- labor congressman
has been stopping over and got himself
into trouble. A meeting Of laboring-men
here last night soundly denounced Con
gresham, Murch, Of Maine, as fraud, he
having made great promises and never full
filled them They desire his constituents
to understand that he is not what he pre-
tends, but that all he cares for is his salary
and perquisites.
Mr.. Tilden's enemies are pretty busy
now hunting up evidence against him-his
Democratic enemies | mean, for his Repub
lcan enemies are disposed to Let him 90 OH
and capture the Democratic nomination ii
he can. They have gone away back to
lS4S to find that he was free ,soiler
and helped nominate Van Buren, at
Buffalo. A good deal Of ugliness is also
manifested on account Of charges that he is
determined to rule or ruin the party and
many Democrats threaten not to submit
TO that kind of talk any longer.
SUDDEN changes Of temperature are very
productive of coughs and colds, which al
ways yield however, very promptly to DIR.
