" Just as we expected, the Topeka Common
trealh is already claiming that one or more of
the delegates from Kansas to the Chicago Con-
yention, appointed at Topeka, last week, will
vote for Grant. We suppose the fact that they
are strong Blaine men, and were appointed be-
cause of that fact, has made them SO mad that
they will vote for Grant, out of pure meanness.
This claim shows how hard run the Grant
"boom'' is for material to feed on.

r Grant got off an original idea, at Calves,
ton, when he remarked that in densely popula-
ted countries, with worno out soils, they needed
a great deal of government. Government put
to the use of manure, is not such a bad fancy,
after all, when you take right view of it. For
instance, as an ideal "strous Government" take
Grants last administration. What better use
could be made of the crowd that surr ounded
him, than to make fertilizing material of theml

r. The Rebel General withers has written a
letter in favor of Grant for third term.
considerable Rebel element is of the same opin-

to have much reverence for the example set by
Washington.

~ There is another rumor about Grant
Now it said that he will shortly publish an ad-
dress to the country, announcing that be will
accept the Presidency if the urgency is very great
with the distinct understanding that he is to
be released from public service at the end of
four years. The Republicans will be equally
maguanimous and self-sacrifciug. They will
relase him now

II The two Kansas City papers, the Times
and the Journal, worked heroically for Grant in
Kansas, and both had representatives in the
State Convention to leg for Grant. Perhaps
they will begin to suspect, after while, that they
can't run Kansas worth a cent.

r. The Democracy are so frightened at the
growing certainty that the Republicans will
not nominate Grant, that the Democratic pa

But they realize that if the Republicans do not

Democratic President is gone.

n They talk about the Credit Mobilier and

for dirty, bawdyish scandals, this Democratic

~ Sherman made a speech in Ohio, last
week, in which he squarely announced that he
was a candidate for President, without any
mock modesty, and that he desired the hearty
cooperation of his friends. Blaine is equally
unreserved in acknow Lodging his candidacy,
and asking the good services Of his friends.
But Grant doesn't know whether he is a cand-
date not, until he hears from Don Cameron
and Conkling

II The st. Louis Globe Democrat advises the
Kansas GRANTEES to grin and bear it, and not
send any contesting delegates to Chicago. Pret-
ty good advice. The Globe Democrat is well
aware that the Grant party commenced this

part of Grants friends, would jeopardize Conk-
ling and Camerons arrangement in New York
and Pennsylvania.

Y Several Counties in Ohio have elected
Blaine delegates to the State Convention, and
the Sherman papers howl over it worse than the
Grant papers of Kansas do over their fearful
drubbing in this State. 1t seems to be regarded
as an outrage, that any person in Ohio should
prefer another man to John Sherman for Presi-
dent.

z Public estimation rarely fails to rate .
man at his true intellectual calibre. Blaine is
receiving invitations from various parts of the
country to address colleges and literary socie-

y The st. Louis Globe Democrat made the as

paper present Phases of Sunday School Work, ~
in which he makes friendly criticisms of meth

with Sunday-school work, and the Church Of Chris
