the American people will not be the first to

The Republican convention in Dallas county,
Texas, instructed its delegates to the State
convention to cast the vote OF the county
In favor Of Grant for the first choice and
Blaine for second.
The supporters Of General Grant come
largely from the ranks Of actual business men
who have large financial interests at stake
Tho movement has been spontaneous and not
forced by any political combinations. Spring
field Union.
1t is evident that IL strict expression of
the sentiment OF the convention had been
taken IL would have shown q greater leaning
toward General Grant than the vote on Sena-
tor Fosters amendment would indicate
Syracuse Standard (Rep)
The preference for General Grant, for many
reasons, continues to be expressed with more
or less emphasis in all parts of the country
and among all classes of people. In Massa'
chusetts there is much more of 1t than his op-
ponents are willing to believe. Massachusetts,
Republicans wero not particularly attached to
his last administration; indeed, they had sub
stantial reasons for dissatisfaction in the
manner of appointments. But in regard to
the great measures of the administration,
affecting tho credit and general welfare Of tho
country, both his administrations commanded
and still command their respect and gratitude.
And If his name goes before the National Con-
vention and the sentiment of Massachusetts,
is fairly represented there, he Is at least as
likely to have their support as any other cam
didate now before the country. Boston Tran

holders, its patronage, the money it lcvies, and
the various forms of corrupt influence, have
developed this danger until it darkens the
whole future of our country.
There is mixture of falsehood, deceit
and unblushipg effrontery in the above
which may delude the ignorant, but not the
intelligent voter, The current history of
our country was, indeed, darkened when an
unsuccessful candidate for the Presidency
sought to obtain the high position by the
purchase Of electoral votes legally and
rishtfully given to another. This black
chapter in our elective franchise will not
soon be forgotten, and it lily becomes the
man who attempted the outrage TO write
letters inveighing against the dangers of a
| Third Term and its imaginary corruption,
when he alone, with no oflice-holders at his
beck, endeayored to subvert the will of the
people by perpetrating the grossest wrong
and most dangerous act ever known in the
political history Of this republic.

How Election News Was Carried 36
Years Ago.

Mr.. Joseph Howard. Jr., in one of his
sketches of american Journalism in the
New York Telegram, tells this story OF
the way election news was carried from
Connecticut to New York thirty-six
years ago, when James f. Babcock had
the New Haven PdlIddiatnl, and Horace
Greeley the New York Tribune: Mr..
Babcock early arranged a system of cor
respondence which made the Palladium
a reliable compendium of state news.
His enterprise in this respect attracted
the attention of Horace Greeley, and
when the Tribune was under way he ar
ranged news exchange with Mr.. Bah
cock. that was valuable to both papers.
The two editors co-operated TO secure in
Connecticut the speediest possible report
of election results. To this end they
provided series of central depots for
the reception of returns, and had them
collected and transmitted to both offices
by bold riders and relays of swift horses.
One of these veterans, Sam Langdon,
well known in New Haven, where he
still handles the reins with his old-time
skill, tells the following story: 1.-THE
spring before the Wings voted for Henry
Clay for president, was sent for to meet
Mr. Greeley at Mr.. Babcock's Office, to
make a bargain for carrying the news of
the April election to New York. Enoch
Ward and | had been in the habit of do
ing the work between us, | running be-
tween Hartford and New Haven, and he
taking the New York trip. This time it
had got to be done quick and we divid-
ed the New York road, gong to SIAM
ford and Ward the rest of the way. l
agreed to do the job for 81 mile, $S7 in
all and to get through in four hours and
halt, Mr.. Greeley spoke up and said:
Well give you $40 for every ten minutes
you save inside of that time Hold on
said Mr. Babcock, if you make that of
fer he'll be sure to do it.. Then I'm glad
to make it, said Mr.. Greeley. The night
was pitch dark and the roads heavy, but
Langdon put his horses through and
reached Stamford so far ahead of time
that Wards horse was not saddled. This
was done in such hurry that when he
rode out of the stableyard the saddle
turned and the rider landed in the mud,
while the horse ran in again. He was
caught and the saddle secured. Ward
mounted and sped away, and delighted
Mr.. Greeley by beating his time half an
hour.
