What Does it Mean f.
Portland Standard.

The dispatches state that General
Hancock has been assigned to duty
at New Orleans in the absence Of
General Anger. And we find in the
same lot of dispatches that Gen.
Grant will soon take up his residence
in New York city, and that great
preparations will be made to inau-
gurate Radical campaign. It's no
secret that the Radicals will resort
to every means, fair or foul, to car
ny this election. They are import
ing into Indiana thousands of ne
groes in the hope of carrying that
State, and it is most probable that
the preliminary step has been taken
to relieve General Hancock of his
command at New York, and when
the proper time comes to put Grant
in command, and with the use of the
Federal army carry New York by
force for the Radicals. The Radical
party dare not surrender the Gov
eminent to the people again. ].
fears the exposition of its rascality,
and it would sooner destroy the
Government than give up its rule.
Grant and his friends stand in dan
ger Of exposure in case Of Democratic
success, and his ambition, while he
was defeated 1T Chicago, is not less
to-day than it was then. In getting
command Ct the army, it may be
deemed necessary for tho Radicals
to allow him to take forcible posses
sion of the Government, as they
would sooner see him assume the
reigns of Government as military
dictator than to allow the people to
elect another than one of their own
ring, for fear tho corruption, fraud
and rascality will be exposed, and
the evidence of their corruption ex-
posed. While we have never been
an alarmist, nor have we believed
much in the cry of an empire, we
must confess that tho present move
ments of the leaders of the Radical
party look suspicious, and indicate a
determination Oh their part to c!eaye
unto the Administration, even though
it brushes the liberties of the people.
The Radical party leaders are mean
enough to resort to anything which
will prevent the Government going
into the hands of the Democratic
party, and it appears from these
movements that they propose to take
the desperate chances of resorting to
revolution sooner than surrender.
We have too much faith in the intel
ligence of the American people to
apprchend that q scheme so infa-
nous can be carried on. successfully,
and believe that if the attempt is
made TO crush the will of tue people,
that the traitors who make such al
effort will find that n majority of the
great American people are deter
mined to preserve this Republic at
all hazards and that the majority
shall and will rule it in the future,
and all traitors will find a speedy
end, even if it should be necessary
to make an example of the leading
Radicals who claim that the Govern
ment is their special property. This
is Government of the people, and,
the people will maintain it.
The Price OF WHEAT. The boun-
tiful harvest in both this country
and Europe will no doubt cause
wheat to rule very low this season,
but this will not lessen the demand
for the Oregon Kidney Tea, as every
man or woman who has backache
or any trouble with the kidneys or
urinary organs, will try this we'll
known remedy even if wheat should
be only SOC per bushel. Sold by all
Druggists.
