Ewing has retired Thompson now, and the people
of Ohio will retire Ewing IN October. Under these
circumstances it is natural for Ewing to cling to
bis seat IN Congress.
General Ewing is now supported in Ohio by Dem
ocratic newspapers which, by general order IN
1864 he excluded from the lines of the Army on
account of their reasonable sentiments. However,
that's all right
Randall and Wallace shout aloud for revolution
in Washington, and the size Of the probable Repub-
hcan majority in Pennsylvania this Fall grows
steadily larger. This is in accord with the eternal
fitness Of things.

There is nothing more amusing in current politics
than the remarks Of the Democratic fraud shrekers
about the President They are disappointed in
him. They thought he was a fair man, and are
shocked to see him abuse the veto power so. In
other words, they thought they could blackguard
him and make "a tool Of HIM at the same time No-
full error.
The leading organ of the South Carolina bull

where the presence OF troops at the polls has
prevented any Democrat from voting. This Is frank
and honest and takes the wind out of a large Dem

kept from voting, Its contribution OF valuable IN

Is too apparent. 1ilden has nothing to gain and a
! great deal to lose by anything of the kind. The
chances for Ewing's defeat have been largely in
creased by the removal of John G. Thompson from
