CONTRARY TO the expectations Of out
siders General Grant does not boom ul
so loudly for the nomination for thu
Presidency in Pennsylvania as was ex
pscted. If we are to judge from thu
tenor of the latest dispatches, Blaine il
the coming man. The delegates to the
State convention from Lehigh and Per
ry counties are instructed to favor Ma
tional delegates to Chicago who will ad.
vocate the nomination of the Maine
Statesman. Bucks county is said to be
Of the same mind and the delegates
from Delaware, Snyder, Indiana, Fay
cite and Centre counties are largely in
favor of him. The Norristown "Her-
ald," one Of our most valued and re-
liable exchanges, says If the sentiment
in the rest Of Montgomery county is as
strong for Blaine as it is in Norristown,
he will have a solid delegation from
that county, and the Erie Despatch"
remarks that there is no doubt that
Senator Blaine now lies nearest the
hearts of the Republican masses. The
victory of the Republicans over the
confusionists of Maine is attributable to
the skillful management Of Blaine and
is strong argument in favor Of his

THE REPUBLIC of France has sustained
great loss in the death Of n. Julc-
Favre, advocate, orator, statesman, au-
thor, member of the Senate, and one of
the "forty immortals" of the French
Academy. Favre was as true as steel
to the new Repu bile. lie was one of
the ministers in the temporary govern
ment which made the last stand against
the Germans, and it was he who made
the armistice with Bismarck, upon
which a treaty of peace was concluded.
He died under the Republic he helped
to build up.

OUR RRADERs who are familiar with
the poll lists OF the last city election
have no doubt ere this noticed that the
most of the Democrats who are put
upon the extra assessment now, voted
at that election which is proof positive
that they voted fraudls1tly, upon either
forged or fraudulsntly issued tax re-
ceipts. From this we may reasonably
expect that although the extra assess.
ment appears to be swollen to a grea,
extent, the Democratic vete will not be
increased unless more repeaters are EN-.
ploysd at dollar for every time they
vote. Thus while the large extra as
sessment will be Of no Advantage to the
Democrats, the name Of every Rspubli-
can placed thereon will be a clear gain.
The Democrats will vote anyhow
whether assessed or not.

members in their choice of a candidate

result In the Senate, Grant II, Grant

IL. In the Assembly, Grant 81, Blaine

ing point in the canvass was the state,
ment made by Representative Edward
Groase, Of New York city, who, on be.
ing approached, said: "There is a
strong prediction among my constitu.
ency, almost wholly German, for
Wash burne, and Lis nomination would
create the greatest enthusiasm among
the German population of both par
ties" This has always been claimed
blythe advocates OF Mr.. Washburne's
nomination--that he had a strength Of
his own, and that'many Germans, not
Republicans, would cordially support
him.

FROM THE talk amongst the Demo
cratic members at Washington it seems
to be the purpose Of the majority in the
Senate to reject some Of the Republi-
cans whom the President has nomina-
ted for supervisors Of census in the
South, on the ground that the distribu-
tion has MT been fairly made between
the two political parties. We are some
what curious to know what these Dem
ocrats want anyhow, when it is consid.
cred that the President has the appoint.
ing power and if he followed the prece-
dent set by the Democrats themselves,
he would appoint none but Republicans
to the Offices named. These Den. ocratic
cormorants cannot see that they have
no right to expect the President to ap.
point any Democrats to Office, and they
should be thankful for what they have
got.

The MAINE FUSION Legislature is in a
quandary to know what to do. The
remnants left meet one day and pass a
resolution and the next day they meet
and reconsider it. On Tuesday the
members passed resolution to submit
questions of law and facts to the
Supreme Court, but in the meantime
they began to comprehend that the
Court had already given its decision
against them and it would consequent
ly be useless to expect them to reverse
their decision. Yesterday a motion to
reconsider the resolution submitting
questions to the Court occupied the
time Of the Legislature. This is about
as harmless a passtime as the Fusion
lists can be engaged in and SO loug as
they make no attempt to put the laws
they pass into force, it is quite likely
they will be allowed to stay at the
