The Solid south will have a little more impu-
dence" to complain OF after election.
The trouble with Mr.. Cyrus w. Field IS he doesn't
know how TO conduct a reform campaign.
It will take a whole store-ful Of Louisiana lies to
offset the killing of one man for opinions sake.
Describing panic in tho Republican ranks is one
way the Democrats have Of keeping their courage
up
What pity It is that Secretary Sherman won't
aid the Democrats I'm their present difficulty by
causing financial panic.
The flow of gold from Europe to this country is
increasing. If Sam Cary isn't careful few drib-
lets may get into his pockets
That increase of $9, 100000 in internal revenue
REGENTS this year will be another weight on the
back of tine overburdened Greenback camel.
Congressman Springer says Ewing will make
strong candidate for the Presidency if he carries
Ohio Look out, Springer or the spigot OF that
barrel will be turned short OIL
Mr.. Tilden must have been thinking about his
new allies, the Greenbackers, when he used such
expressions as financial pyrotechnics" and in
vestments exposed to possible conliaQration."
That army of newspaper correspondents who have
been describing in glowing terms the vigorous
health of Mr.. Tilden won't thank him for saying
that he had to retire to the country this Summer
Tor rest and quiet, That was slip of the tongue IN
which the Great Defrauded rarely INDUCES.

engine The Iowa Republicans are not IN the mood
10 do any /. bling this year.
The DemOcI ITS Of Tennessee begin to fear that
they have been caught III trap the State debt
question, and that the defeat of the compromise
will prove to 20 the entering wedge which will split
the party a turn the State over to the Republi-
cans. The Na'hriile Banner sounds vigorous alarm
and cracks the party whip over the head OF DEM
ocratic State Senator who has declared his willing
ness To lay aside his politics and settle the debt
question fairly. The Tennessee Democrats will dis
cover some day that honesty IL as good an invest
ment for u party as Tor an individual.
The Vicksbug Herald is wagng a courageous
fight with the Mississippi bulldozers. 1t laughs at
the resolution of a late Democratic meeting declar
ing it a pnblic enemy and ad vsing the party to
cease subscribing TO it and withdraw all business
from it. 1t is Democratic to the core, but demands
free and fair elections. The of The Herald in
the latter respect deserves the commentator and
support of all Order-lOvng citizens. Some rOusng
Republican victories IN the North may convince

An honest confession of the political situation In
Maine is published in The Cincinnati inquirer. Its
Washington correspondent telegraphs that /" the
Democratic party in Name is badly demOralzed,
and il making no earnest and genuine contest this

Democrats are either working for the Republican
candidates. quietly hoping for their success. The
Democratic issues and ideas are playing part IN

Gramercy Park. Mr.. Iiden left his quiet retreat
up the Hudson last Friday and came down TO the
city, il is supposed TO superntend the details of the
arrangement. Robinson is to be sacrificed and
some new man nominated in his place. With tenn
porary truce patched up the whole party is TO go
hury-burly for office and the spolls Such COM
promise can hardly prove less disastrous to Mr..
liden than the defeat OF bis own candidate at the
polls. But it wOuld he the biggest feather In Mr..
Kely's cap ever worn by 1ammany Sachem.
