1t is melancholy truth, dear coparceners, that
the Republican members of the Potter Committee
seem to be hostile TO whitew1shlng

all the cipher kilograms for The tribune He also
wrote Beautiful snow.
If you don't take THE TRIBUNE, Moses. borrow a
copy of Yesterdays edition. You will never get
much elegant language again for four cents.
The judicial Editor of The Nation ought to be per-
mitted to mount the stand and repeat his immortal
syIocism: The Democrats tried to buy the Pres
ldency therefore, the Republicans bought 1t.
The whole force Of the grievousy tried Northern
wing of the party is devoted to the task of keeping
gag upon the mouth of the Solid Southern states

can be elected.
The enormous pressure of the Southern claims can

them back, they appear in both houses Of Congress

the depleted contingent fund has been re-
plenshed but still Fernando Wood delays 10 start
his great budozng expedition to this clly for the
discovery of the mangied remains of John l. Dayen-
ports victims. The session is nearly over, aud not
a moment ought to be wasted. What il the
trouble Has Mr.. Wood heard of preparations
which have been made for his reception If he
has il no wonder h. tarrios II tie starts at all,
lac will show that he has heard nothing.
War on Ohio and New York has been declared by
tbc bold followers OF Hendricks in Indiana. They
declare that the recent demonstration there in favor
of lilden was the work of the Money Power. and
their ind gnation is aroused They swear with
the usual Democratic ucncy that if Hendricks isn't
nominated in 1880 neither Thurman nor Tilden
shall have one vote from the Indiana delegation;
and further that 10 candidate from either OHIO
Nev-York shall he nominated If they can prevent
il. This sounds vigorous and obstinate, nat if
New-lork or Ohio offers either the second place
the ticket or Cabinet position Indiana would sur
render as promptly as Hendricks straddles.
Colonel &. W. MOultOn, of Cincinnati, who is
brother-in-law of Senator Sherman, and a shrewd
politician, recently returned home from a visit to
Washington, and was promptly sounded on the POI
htcal situation by o reporter of The Enquirer, who
bastens TO announce that the Colonel didn't suspect
what was going on. He believes that if the Repub-
Hcan Convention were to meet this year Grant
would he nominated sure" Still Washington was
not so Grantish the West, for he had found that
nearly everybody at the Capital believed Sherman
to be the coming man. He knew that Sherman did
not desire the nomination. and as his personal friend
he should advise him not to seek it, but 10 avoid it
all he could. Why! Because there is no place in
the United States for al ex President. Mr.. Sher-
man IL only ifty-two years old. aud the Colonel
thinks HIM too young To- be laid on the Presdenta l
shelf. As for the Democratic side, the Colonel
thinks the nomination will fall to either Thurman
or Tilden, aud he suspects Tilden will be the man.
