The republicans will have their lit
course, they expect and are entitled TO
some Suggestions from us a. To how
they should conduct a.
We are aware that the party IN IN a
tuandary as 10 what they shall do
about nomination inT uuyernnT.
This In one oi the officials upon
Which lhoy set considerable value, and
we're not willing Ia iorgO an effort to
obtain ia their recent attempt at trade
with the Grcenbarkcrs. They have
their hearts set on Il,
They hal Governor cut and dried;
With spur aud shield aud armour on;
with his wallet weighted with DoN CAM
gRoS's "ding bats and champing the
bit like a war horse. Tie was only wait
ng fnr the word "go," bat his running
mate shlri the track and stuck lls nose
IN the ground, aRd Strengthened out lts
hind legs, aud acted altogether as bad rs
a mule An embassy hal been commis
stoned To pat him un the hack AMI stroke
him on the nosc aud lrad him gently up
L. the pnlr, hut When "that there em-
hassy saw "thum tnoir hind legs they
supply walked oll about their business
and never "let on" they hal been there
There vas nothing Ia dO, therefore,
hut tn dcclarc tho rare "nii'' under the
old regime. What new tangled arrange
mrut has been sat Ia motion since the
tall at the inst We arr not adylscd-nOt
being admitted behind the scenes
u Is a question whether Mr.. SruR-
GIss will bo willing lo "gO u alone IL
isaqucstion, indeed, " neither thecOnyen-
ton should ask hun to 10 so. Tie Is
young man, whose future Is ot some
value 10 him, and tor whom We profess
Ia have warm side. Ito ought not Ia
he set up Ia be- Knocked down, ~ put
up against great odds to he run oft h's
iret and wind broken so early Ia hIs
career There are enough obi stagers
la the Republican party who have been
seasoned to defeat and Who are case
hardened with hard knocks, who Won't
be- hurt by being run over aud draggcd
about and -ohhtrratrd. Set up some
body that ought to be- Killed oil anyhow.
II. however, Mr.. SrURGISs Is not will
ing to be- sacridecd, and there u nobody
that the convention is particularly de
sirous IN kill oh the very best sHgges
ton We can make u that the office OF
Governor be left blank on the ticket
with the quiet understanding tina, the
party shall cast it, vote for the Great
NArolSuN H. FRGNyH As the Gnrn-
bankers refused to come % the Repuhli-
cans, the one remaining chance Tor iu-
sion Is tor the Republicans To ~ 10 the
Greenbackcrs
Il NAV require little sacrifice OF
pride aud party spirit, IN say nothing OF
principle, 10 follow out this suggestion,
hut what boots Il II the chances of sue
cess are IN snywlse augmented. The
rallying cry should be anything 10 beat
the Democrats
We have been at no little expense Of
patience and ingenuity, with some loss
Of rest, In our endeayOr to fix up the
balance Of the ticket, but We give il up
We surrender, we're completely dab
bergasted, and have not suggestion 10
make.
As 10 the Congressional nominee In
this district, We are somewhat interest
ed. That is a fight worth making. II
is one that calls out the full force OF
both parties in this district, and We al
ways have heap of fun, even though
the boys always know the Democratic
