The Chicago Inter Ocean recently alluded
In effect that JAY GOULD has been using
improper influences TO secure the North
western States for Senator BLAINE, and
subsequently expressed the opinion that
the evidence iustifying such rumors was
becoming quite apparent, especially in
Kansas, Iowa and Illinois. Thcreupon the
Chicago Tribune ilies In a furious passion
and denounoes this as cowardly as
"sault,n which II subsequently clinches, no
doubt In its own mind, by the reitoration
that it is both brutal and cowardly.n This
sudden burst Of anger and abuse on the part
OF the Tribune is unfortunate for its own
side. for a consciousness of rectitude usually
clothes itself in calmness of spirit and of
quiet defiance. This clustering mien argues
something else.
Thus far in this struggle for the mastery
at Chicago, tho ope rators of the BLAINE
movement have not been at all iastidious
about tho character Of the assaults they
have made upon General GRANT and his

The Washington World, the bureau re-
hector of the SHERMAN boom, claims to be
exceedingly cautious and tender about say
ing anything to the prejudice of his rivals
in this contest for the nomination. A copy
without date has fallen under our notice
through the kindness of friend, and we
clip therefrom the following exceedingly
modest, but rather unfraternal paragraph
relating TO Senator BLAINE and General
GRANT, because we like to preserve su oh
things for future reference

clan and statesman of his time. His personal
following was not only very numerous but

worship, makes the best basis for a political

THE Bourbon press do not like the results
of the town elections in several of the West
crn States last Monday, especially in In
diana. The new constitutional amendment
in that State has been carried, which it is
calculated will add 5000 votes to the Re-
publican party. But these elections have
only been the mutterings of the thunder
which is to sweep next fall, under the lead
ership of GRANT, over the country and for
ever destroy every vestige of Bourbonism
in the land.
