sition assumed by General Chamberlain

will have been set up in Maine.
Philadelphia Record (Ind.): What has
become Of the Grant boom9 Too much
Child's play killed it in this city, and j,
seems to have had a funersl after it LET,
here. r.
Inter-Ocean (Rep.): DR.. Garcelon has
resumed his practice, and the sooner he
gives dose Of tartar emetic and ipecae
to the Fusion party in Maine, and makes
it "throw up" the better.
Harper's Weekly (Rep.): 1t would
be most patriotic beginning Of the
year to read John Brights speech and
resolve that the country shall deserve all
ihe good things he saysof it. q

one good deed; he will arouse the best

indianapolis News (Ind.): Mr.. Voor-
hees and his following, in their currency
attitude, belong to that category de-
scribed by Secretary Bristow in Ons Of his
reports, who 'opposed war measures in
time Of war, and advocated them in time
of peace"
Atlanta Constitution (Dem.): Mr..
Bayard has the honor Of being the author
of the first Democratic blunder of the reg
uiar session. 1t is this fatal facility for
laundering on the part Of the wouidbe
leaders that has kept the Democratic
party ous of power since 1872. All our
fundamental statesmen need muzzling.
Cleveland Penny Press (Ind.): Ex-
Lieutenant Governor, Jabez W. Fitch,
was run through the appointment mill
yesterday at Columbus in short order for
trustee of the Northern Ohio asylum
for the insane, receiving the unanimous
vote of the Senate. This is a deserved
compliment to a man whose sense of
right is above party expediency.
Boyer Wing and Courier lRep.) The
calmness with which the public rest in
this remarkable exigency in the belief
that General Chamberlain will prove a
faithful guardian of the high trust he
has assumed in behalf Of the people,
can not fail to afford him gratifying in
spiration in the performance of the du-
ties that shall deyolye upon him.
Lafayette Dispatch (Dem.): The New
York Sun is generally valuable auxil-
iary to the Democracy, but in its viru-
lent demonstrations against the nomina-
ton Of General Grant for third term,
the Dispatch is of the opinion that its
zeal runs away with its discretion. Let
them nominate Grant. He is the easiest
man to defeat in the List Of Republican
candidates. 3.
Oswego Times (Rep.): In the first
place, the Republican candidate for the
Presidency can be elected without New
York. In the next place, New York
would go for General Grant, notwith-
standing the efforts of a dozen George
William Curtisea The people are for
Grant, and he will carry every Northern
State, and it is not certain but many of
the Southern States may do the wise
thing and fall into line.
Columbus Democrat (Dem.): The old
apportionment was gerrymander and a
gross injustice. We opposed the redis-
tricting of the State by the Democratic
Legislature, because we do not approve
of making the change in districts oftener
than once in ten years, and then in an
bipartisan manner. We. object to this
new apportionment for the same reason,
and because the restoration merely re-
stores the old injustice.
Detroit News (Ind. j. The National game
is looking up again. The new Senator,
German, of Maryland, was, a very few
years ago, captain of baseball club in
the District Of Columbia. He will be
catching points of order on the first base,
and going out-for cold tea-on the fly,
while it is highly probable that the peo-
pie of Maryland will before long ardent
ly wish that he would make home run.
Lafayette Journal (Rep.): The Indi-
annapolis Hendricks Club is in full SYM
pathy with its brethren in Maine and
has taken the p ins to send Governor
Garcelon a telegram of congratulation.
The attempt Of this political club to put
the Democratic party of this State on
record as approving Of the Maine in
fanny will meet with violent opposition
from thousands Of independent voters
in this State. The action was uncalled
for, in the first place, and is already
"kicking Up q muss." 1t seems that
there are certain infamous deeds that
some respectable Democrats don't ap-
prove of, and this Maine matter is one
of them. Already the wiser heads are
beginning to see the blunder, and heart
lily deprecate 1t. General Manson,
Auditor Of State, openly condemns the
sending Of the telegram, and says that
while the Fusionists may be technically
right, there is NO doubling the fact that
a majority Of the people are against
them.
