St. Paul Pioneer Press Qnd.): Really
there is no reason why the Administra-
ton or the bolder and clear-sighted Re
pubicans in Congress should not ignore
the frantic alarm of these timid Western
Republicans and pursue the course die

SO far justified by experience.
jackson miss. Clarion (Dem.): Re
ferring to the Grant movement IN the
South, the New York Tribune says that
such a. movement would be "grotesque."
1t would be more than "gretesque." 1t
would be the madness with which peo-

struction. 1t would be the worst kind OF
suicidal folly.
