Of his popular respect. They have tam
pered with public sentiment through in
fuences never before known in the pri-
mary struggles of the republican party.
These are what the bare presentation of
General GRANTS name has had to confront
from the hour when the primary canvass
took shape. His name has been suggested as
a probable candidate by popular expression
without the MD of bureaus, combinations,
and clubs. His friends and admirers have
from the first relied upon the instructive
power Of public sentiment, distinct from
any machine agencies, for his success, and
their confidence and hope have not been
misplaced. We are now on the eve of the
nomination, with but two more states yet
TO speak, and filed with the perfect assur-
ance that the popular wish is to prevail
against all the machinery and chicanery that
have been introduced into the canvass tomis-
represent General GRANT, to delude public
feeling and confidence away from him and
to subvert the will of the people. The sup
porters of General GRANT have not attempted
to pull others down that he might be ele-
waited at their expense They have sat
quietly by the side of the popular river,
watching its currents and gathering con-
fidence therelrom, and now as they see the
flood tide of certain success floating in upon
them, they have nothing to regret, have
no strange methods TO explain or apologize
for, and are calmly waiting the verdict

THE proposition to open the congress
sional library and the Smithsonian and
medical museums to the public on
Sundays should be received with favor.
Wherever such experiments have been tried
the results have been beneficial in moral
as well as mental point of view to the large
classes of people in busy cities who cannot
spare time from labor on other days to visit
such places, and who are glad to take their
families out on Sunday for recreation, which
is at once instructive and amusing.

A BILL is now before congress to de-

one who has lost both parents, but it is
also applied where only one parent is dead.
In Pennsylvania it has been decided to
mean, where it occurs in GIRARDs will, one
whose father is dead, though it is doubtful
if that was really GIRARD's understanding
of the word. In Ireland it is frequently
applied to person who has lost all his
children. An old childless man is there

The Virginia straight-out democrats are
whistling to keep their courage up. The
recent state convention is described as an
enthusiastic, harmonious body, in which
funder and readjuster lay down together.
The resolutions pledging Virginia conscr-
vatives to act in unison with the national
democracy are quoted as proving that the
electoral vote of the state is safe for the
nominee of the Cincinnati convention, no
matter who he may be. 1t needs but
careless reading of the newspapers of the
state to see that the confidence and serenity
of the straight democratic organs is assumed
Underneath their smiling exterior there is
consuming doubt and gnawing anxiety.
Not more than three-ffths of the usually
active democratic voters took part in the
recent primaries, and among those who re-
mained away were men who have hereto
fore borne the burden and heat of partisan
conflicts. Nor was indifference the only sign
of coming disaster. In every county of the
state the organization of the independents
has been maintained, and in spite of every
effort to dragoon them into the regular
party for thepresdential contest, they have
not wavered in their determination to cut
entirely loose from bourbonism, whether in
the state or nation. The republican organi-
zation is reviving all over the state Tim
idity and hopelossness haye given way to
determination and confidence. The repub-
licans of Virginia are alive to all the posi-
bilties of the situation, and are confident
that if General GRANT is the nominee at
Chicago the eleven electoral votes of Vir-
| ginia will be cast for him.

is without doubt one of the ablest
shrewdest and richest men in Georgia.
There will be fierce fght against him
when the legislature meets, but as he hns
fixed General GORDON comfortably in the

count on the latter's assistance to keep the

THE CENTENNIAL STATE

The GRANT men carried the primaries in
Denver on Thursday by an overwhelming
majority, and the county will send solid
delegation for the general to the state con-
vention. As two-thiris of the delegates
previously elected in the state are for
GRANT, the convention which meets on the
25th will be nearly unanimous for him.
General GRANTS friends are delighted and
somewhat surprised at the result in
Denver That city is upon most points very
much under the control of JAY GOULD, the
dictator of the Union Pacific, the Kansas
Pacific the Denver & Rio Grande and their
local connections. At all other points of con-
tact with theJAY GOULD roads the BLAINE
men have so set up the pins that the real
sentiment of the people has been over
slaughed. This was outrageously so in
Kansas, and conspicuously so in Ne
braska and the territories. The victory
over him in Colorado is therefore the more
welcome. Against any other man than
GRANT the centennial state would have
been an easy prey to the railroad king, who
has been throughout the preliminary can.
vass the most useful bacller of the Maine
senator, and without whom he would have
had scarcely vote west of the Mississippi
