POLITICS IN TIIE lYTER1oR.
A Split Among the Republicans ir Grant
In Nominated.


In Nominated.
MANNINGToN, December 90, 1879.
Editors lntelllgeneer.
For three months past / have been Qui-
etly listening to and observing the sayings
and doings Of the people OF this part of
the State in reference to the political
future. Much speculation is now going
on among the Republicans as to who will
be the Republican nominee for President
in 1880. Some are Tor Paul. some are for
Apollos, and some for Cephus. In this
diversity OF opinions there seems to be
one generl sentiment among all, to wit:
That while Grant will be very formida-
bic candidate for the Presidency, and will
no doubt receive. TO some extent, the
moneyed power OF the East, yet it would
not do to nominate him, as it would GER
tainly divide, yea, split asunder the now
united and consolidated wings OF the
great Republican party Of the United
States. Your correspondent, in your
Issue Of December 9th, signed "H. G.
s., struck the key note, as to the expe-
diency or inexpediency OF Grants nomi.
nation in 1880. He gives facts and figures
that are sorrowfully fresh in the minds OF
every Republican reader in the land. The
Republicans well remember, with panied
hearts, that it was upon this GRANT Rock
that we split in 1872, and it was upon this
Grant Rock that the brigadiers OF the re-
bellion captured both houses OF Congress.
1t was upon this Grant Rock he made a
solid South and divided North. Itwas
upon this Grant Rock that the tidal wave
Of Democracy and rebellion spread
throughout the land, and was preferred by
the American people to his (Grant's) ad-
ministration. These are few OF the
items in connection with those delineated
by your correspondent, H. G. S., as to
Grants greatness as Republican leader.
May your truest and unilinching Republic
cans say they cannot and rM 1Ot support
Grant. The Greeley wing will support
Bayard il Grant is nominated, but all are
solid for Blaine, Sherman, or any good
Republican that may be nominated by
thegreat Republican party. Nj. B.

non'conducting resistance and nou.lusi.
bility are still greater, it not only gener.
ates heat, but light Of beautiful, mellow
and at the same time brilliant, radiance,
Edison has ascertained that fully nine.
tenths Of the velocity force Of the electric
current correlates into light, and but one.
tenth into heat, upon striking the carbon
horseshoei whereas, In the combustion OF
gas, fully nine.tenthS thereof is given out
IN the form Of heat and only one.tenth in
light And this is why electric force can
be converted into light cheaper than gas
cam but for heating purposes gas would
be at least ten times better and more
economical than electricity.
The Tribune contends that Il the price Of
gas Is forced down by the new electric
light to one'third even Of present prices,
the effect will be 10 create an enormous
demand for gas for heating purposes. It
will then come into universal use in do.
mestiC economy as heater. The gas
companies are already considering this
question, and contemplating the enlarge.
ment OF their works for the manufacture
oil the vastly increased amount which will
be used in stoves, CRATES, and in various
other ways where the electric light can be
OF no avail. There Is no danger that any
one will warm himself by lightning, or
cook by 1t. Gas will be cheaper than
any other fuel, will cook better, will save
on the purchase Of coal and wood, will do
away with smoke, dust, SCOT, and dirt, can
be lit instantly, and shut off as fast.
While, therefore, Mr.. Edison's invention
may be a great blessing to tho world in
the way OF better and cheaper illumina-
lion, there is no reason for holders Of gas
stocks to get in panic. Gas has too many
and too valuable uses to be shut out even
by the lightning.
