The tody Governor of Pennsylvania
sent Grant the following telegram,
which will grind in the flesh of every
lover of III Republican form of gov
eminent:
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 18th, 1879.
The people of Pennsylvania note
with pleasure the completion of the
circuit around the globe by General

carnations they will arrest him here on
a Flap" until in 1881 he shall be in

"(Signed) HENRY NJ. HoYT,,

Referring to the above letter, the
Okolona States says:
If this foot-licking fop. doodle meant
anything by his Telegram, he mean,
that Grant will be gwen far higher
than Presidential power in 1885; that be
will be crowned. sceptred, throned and
robed with royal purple.
The meaning of the Grant boom is
becoming as clear as crystal. The Dem
ocratic party is beginning to see the
danger. and its most prominent mer
and papers are sounding the storm
bell, with the hope of bringing tbs
masses of both parties and of all States
and sections to n realization of the
