The Presidential Outlook.

The Presidential outlook grows in
interest as the periods draw near fol
the assembling of the nominating
Conventions Of the two great parties
Of the country. The interest seems
to center now more directly upon the
men to be nominated than upon the
principles which they will represent
in the contest. This feeling, NO
doubt, is the natural outgrowth of a
sentiment produced by strong per.
sonal friendships and political rival
ries-engendered, too, to great ex.
tent by ambition on the one hand
and bitter dislikes and animosities
on the other. This condition of af.
fairs is plainly portrayed on the Re.
pablican side, when the contest is
surveyed with reference to the con.
test which has been progressing be
tween the respective friends of Grant,
Sherman and Blaine. 1t is evident
that the friends of Grant have been
most successful in manipulating the
Conventions and that he will 90 into
the National Convention at Chicago
with his nomination almos. assured
"a forgone and fixed conclusion.
Then comes the interesting question,
will he be elected? There is the
rub The solution of this question
in the negative will depend upon the
wisdom, foresight and good sense Of
the Democratic National Convention
which shortly afterwards meets in
the City of Cincinnati. Win that
Convention be wise? The Democrats
have the leaders to lead them and
have the votes to accomplish the
work before them. With such men
as Seymour, Hancock, Bayard, Field
and others to select from, and an
honest platform for them to stand
upon, they can go before the country
with confidence and with victory as.
sured.

Coalition.

The Republicans, it is said, will
concur in the nominations made BY
the Greenback-L party, on May
18th. Their reason for doing SO,
they say, is to beat the Democrats.
Now, suppose they do beat the Dem
ocrats, Chat they will not doO what
have they accomplished? Nothing.
About every man they will probably
nominate for Office, has been hereto
fore Democrat. The men who are
seeking the nominations on the
county ticket have all along been
Democrats with but one exception.
But the question is, can Shrewsbury
and Willard deliver over the Rcpub.
lican vote to the Greenback party?
We think there will be some kicking
about the time it is attempted.

ton, the Gospel of Mark, Mi, 20,

the Jewish idea of Gods unity; while
Luke's Gospel: being composed much
later when the dedication Of Jesus
had begun, and a second person had
been added to the Divinity, .omits
this expression Of Gods unity en-
tirely. Johns Gospel, being written
still later, begins with the principal
idea of the Jewish Alexandrian Phi
losophy. To give these writings
greater authority, they published
them under the names they now
bear, but Of their followers each one
only accepted such Gospels as agreed
with his individual opinion. These
books being also in private bands
dong before the invention Of print
ing,) and being only multiplied by
the laborious process of6opying, the
possessors did not waht for opportu-
mites of changing, interpolating,
adding, and curtailing whatever they
thought convenient, or was agreeable
to the opinion they had embraced. =
Under these circumstances it was
impossible to know, in the course of
time, what was, and what was not,
in the gospels, and even if
the apostles had written any gospels
they Jared no better than those pub
lished by others.

We regret to see him go. He has

as we'll. Just at a time when his
services were needed he has deserted
US. Probably before he is long a
member of the new party, he will
see his error andreturn to the grand
old party" that has always been on
the side of right and the people. We
can only say, farewell, Rankin
Should you return, we will receive
you with outstretched arms. We do
not know what prompted him to this
step, but rumor has it that he wants
to be Prosecuting Attorney, and has
been promised the nomination on
the Grecnback ticket. So have John
E. Timms, Frank Polsley, II. j..
Fisher, Jr., G. W. Phelps, and several
others, been promised the same thing.

ton for Prosecuting Attorney, in the

No Use Of DenringIt.

The New York Sun has this to
say in reference to the tendency Of
the Republican party toward an
Empire;
ut is of no use for the Republican
party to deny that they are in favor
of an Empire. Their disavowal
would be entitled to no credit. The
recent history of this party shows
that its leaders are ready to ayow
any political faith in the pursuit of
Office.
"Four years ago they passed reso-
lutions of unalterable opposition to
a third term. Now they are just as
unalterably in favor Of a third term.
Reasoning from analogy, the
stronger they now profess to be OPP
posed to an empire the more strong
ly may we expect to see them adj
vocate the establishment of an EN-
pire four years hence.
"The Republican party was a good
enough war party; but as a peace
party it has descended to tho lowest
political depths.
SIT is a party which has SO falsifi-
ed its own words as to be utterly un.
worthy Of further trust"

investigation, the writings of the

destitute Of proof that they were

authorship, together with the con-

may happen in the common course
of things, may, and do generally re-
