in the history of Am

NEVER in the history of Ameri-
can politics has there been such a
humiIiating confession of weakness
as would be involved In the nomi-
nation of Grant by the Republican
party. It would be tantamount to
C@sar's despairing exclamation,
Help me, Casslus, or l sink" A
great party. which had prided itself
on the number and eminenee of its
men of brain and conscience, would
concede that only one
person in its ranks was fit to be
President. Such a shameless avow-
al, after such infinite pretence,
would of itself do much to over
throw the party.

CONTRARY to the general expec.
tation, neither Cornell, Arthur,
Chandler nor Mccormick was elect
ed chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. Don Cameron,
the successful man, is rather hard
to place as to his Presidential pref
erences. He was Grants Secretary
of War, but then he is nephew of
John Sherman by marriage. The
fact that he took leading part in
giving eciat to the Grant reception
at Philadelphia may or may not
have politica! significance.
So determined was he to
have Congress participate in
the demonstration that he offered
to pay the personal expenses of all
wno would accom- pany him from
Washington to Philadelphia for
that purpose. There is something
very scandalous and shoddy about
such programme, but the warmth
of Cameron's social and personal
demonstrations may cover very
lukewarm political feslty to Grant,
The old adage, 'tblood is thicker
than water,n may prevail. Two
things are assured. The vote OF
Pennsylvania will be very poten.
tial in the Republican Convention
and the Camerons will cast that
vote according to their own sover-
eign will and pleasure.

The New York "worid" on GRANT.
NEW YORK. Dec. 17th.-The
World says: The undeniable en-
thusiasm with which Gen. Grant
was yesterday received at Phila-
delphia, was in the main an ex-
preston, no doubt, of the feeling
with which he is regarded through
out the country. He would be re-
ceived with as much heartiness In
New York or in Boston, and it is
probable that he would be received
with as much heartiness in New
Orleans or in Charleston. Nobody
In the South, we presume, has ever
imagined that President Grant was
inspired by any feeling of personal
vindictiveness towards the South,
or that his errors proved anything
more against him than his unfit
ness for the high trust of civil gov
ernment. He has SO far given no.
body reason to suppose that he
seeks public office for third time.
And II career of sufficient dignity
were opened to him either In the
army or in civil life, there is no
reason to suppose he would listen
to any solicitations to be used as a
"stalking horsen of any set of poll
iticians. Certainly Congress could
not do a more popular or a juster
act than to offer him signal testi-
mony of the public sense Of the val
ue of the services he has rendered
the country-services of which the
country is showing its sense by
such demonstrations" as that
which took place at Philadelphia
Yesterday.

Senator sharon on the PresIdsney

CHICAGO, Dec. 18th.-The Times
interviewed Senator Sharon, who
Is now here, en- route to Washing
ton. He said Nevada and Califor-
MIA will both go Republican in the
Presidential contest. Party lines
are closely drawn in those States,
and no matter who the nominees
may be, they will be given the un-
divided support OF their respective
parties. In California, party ranks
are impregnated with various ele-
ments that will mould into the
party issues at the proper time,
while in Nevada like elements ex-
ist, but in less pronounced degree.
AS an individual, he said, l enter
tain no doubt of Republican sue
cess in Nevada and California.
! Whoever receives the Republican
nomination will receive the votes
Of California and Nevada. My
personal opinion is that the Re
publican party cannot ignore Gen.
eral Grant. His past record as a
successful General and civil officer
has inspired the American people
with confidence in his ability to
successfully conduct the affairs of
this vast and rapidly developing
country through any difficulty that
might spring up in the future; that
Is, during his administration of af-
fairs of any office to which he
might be elected. And right here
I may advance another personal
belief to the effect that if the Re-
publican party does not take Gen
eral Grant up, the Democratic par
| ty will, and not only this, but elect
him also. If nominated by the
Republicans, In my opiuion, the
Democrats will hardly amount to
party; their disorganization will be
complete and their forces beyond
rallying. Gen. Grants record and
military career, as / said before,
qualify him better for the Presiden-
cy than any other man on this con-
tinent. He is man better calcu-
lated to disarm sectional feelings
and make the country harmonious
than any other. and this, it will be
readily confessed, is the great point
aimed at, or should be, by both
parties. 1t is certainly the point
for which the Republican party
will legislate and contend in the
future. or Democratic candidates.
Hancock, Thurman and Bayard
have been closely canvassed by the
Democrats, with preponderance
in favor of the former gentleman.

FALL RIVER.
The Spinners' Strike.

FALL RIVER, June lS.-The meeting
of the spinners tonight was largely at
tended, and reports were made from all
the mills that, with the exception Of the
King Phillip, notices to strike have been
regularly given. At the Durlee mills,
where the notices were withdrawn, new
notices were given to-day, and notices
were also given at the Father mills,
where nothing had been previously
said concerning the strike. The
spinners state that the meth
Oh OF paying help at the King
Phillip differs from all other mills in
the city, and as no spinner makes less
than ten dolarsa week there, the strike
will not probably include that mill:
There is nothing certain, however, and
the King Phillip spinners will be left to
act for themselves rs to the adyisabllity
OF striking. As the Spinners appear 10
have been strengthened bv the last cir
cular OF Secretary Howard, the manu-
facturers seem more fully determined
than ever to meet the strike without
the slightest yielding.

We find the following surprising item
in the Wool GrOIrs-I BuiLtin: Colorado
has 100000 sheep; Ohio has 100000
and decreasing" These figures may be
true as to Colorado, but We know them
to be false about Ohio. In 1878, az
cording to the Secretary Of States re-
port, there were 3,909,604 sheep in
Ohio, which was an Hcroaas OF lSj,56i
over the year before. Further, in JET
ferson county alone there has been an
additional increase during the past year
Of more than 1900. Does this look
like a decrease in the State.
Yesterday was a lively day in the
Steubenville wool trade. Galbraith
Bros, Of Smithfeld, received some l5,-
600 or 20, 900 pounds, which they shipped
east over the c. Il 7. road. The Patter-
son woolhOuse also received a large
quantity. Prices ranged from % to 81
cents,
