msrcial ssys "rhe Third Termers are not
capable of reason. They want to use great
military name to set up Boss Government,
In which we should have vulgar limitations
of royal state-Presidentia four-in-hands;
houses built for the Senators by the States;
back pay grabs; salaries doubled; money
poured out in jobbing schemes In all sec.
tions; whisky ringsters elevated to an aris-
tocracy; street paving plunderers given the
deepest assurances of Executive favor; Boss
Tweedism made National and self-perpetuat.
ing. The purposes of these gamesters are
not obscure. They are well understood In
Ohio, and We say to the bosses who have been
bred in the shoddy politics of the war, that
if they do succeed in degrading the Repub-
lican party to submission, they will hear
their doom announced by this State on the
second Tuesday of October next-snd don't
forget it." There is no installing
the significance of such politi-
cal literature as the Commercial

strange to say, when these anti-third term
Republicans bring forward Blaine, Sherman

records, and show pretty conclusively that
Grant, with all of his debaucheries, is their
superior. By such processes the wrong is
sometimes made to defeat the wrong, crime
to expose crime, as is the case when one
criminal turns upon his confederates and
permits Juice to be done. The Republican
party has succeeded in sccumulating more
infamy than any other party that ever ex-
listed. 1t stands forth as a colossal lie.
Its deformities defy csricature. 1t is
a monstrosity that challenges classification
an agglomeration of isms and hates. Its
mission has been to blight and to blast all
things of good report. 1t is now engaged in
a deadly strife with itself. The country con-
templates the internecine fight with entire
composure. Let 1t go on.

CLIPPINGS.

1T is now said that almost the entire delega-
ton from Virginia to the Cincinnati Con-
vention is in favor OF the nomination Of Sena-
tor Baysrd.
TIE Pittsburg Post says: ait was quite un-
necessary for General Grant to authorize
country editor to say that he had not with
drawn. Nobody ever dreamed of his declin-
ing, resigning, or Withdrawing"
COMMENTING on Senator David Davis letter,
the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser says; ''In
the hands of such statesman and patriot as
David Davis as Chief Executive of the Repub.
lie, the liberties OF the people and an honest,
economical and constitutional administration
of the Government would be assured"
THE Plttsburg Post thinks it nothing strange
that Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes have slept In George
Washingtons bed at Mount Vernon, for Lin
coin, Buchanan and several others have done
the same thing. But Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes have
been sleeping in Samuel ]. Tlldens bed at the
White House for some three years. That is
something nobody else has done.
"GATH" is authority for the statement that
Hon. John ]. Patterson, ex-senator from
South Carolina, says he told Blaine several
months ago that his only chance of getting
the PennsS Ivania vote was not to sntagonize
the Camerons; and perhaps, If Grant was not
available, they would voluntarily come to his
support. From the moment Blaine under
took to undermine the Camerons," says Mr..
Patterson, "his cause was lost in Pennsyl-
vania."
THE Boston Herald says: "Carl schurz's
Indian policy is very simple, but it will be
hard work to get an administration to carry it
out for four successive years. He says there
are three things to be done-'First, to keep
good faith with the Indians, so that they may
learn to trust us; second, TO educate their
young, and, third, to settle them upon lands
in severalty, securing them by as good titles as
those of white men, II the Indian was au-
per in Hindoostan or Zululand, he might ex-
pect some consideration from us; but Mr..
Schurz will never live to see this Nation keep
ing faith with red men who own lands we
want and are strong enough to steal"

TEE Woman's National Suffrage Conven-
ton has done its work and disbanded. The
effect of this movement may be seen in the
throwing open to women all avenues to
respectable employment. 1t is within the
memory of men yet living when she was
thous ht out of place as teacher In the
public schools. Yesterday we had call from
amsiestic woman, learned in jurisprudence,
and admitted to the practice CT law in the
Supreme Court at the National Capital. He
takes a great responsibility who says this
advancement degrades her or disrupts soci-
ETY.. Presently woman will vote. The
strongest pref udices are giving away before
her rational and enlightened demands.
When she is armed with the ballot, some of
the sex will exercise the privilege wisely,
some toolishly-but she will be elevated
She will be brought to realizs that she is a
reasonable creature, in the full possession Of
q God-given intellect; and when mankind
awakens to the fact that woman is no longer
an article of property, but that she belongs
to herself-is her own for reservation or
bestowal-the world will be the better for it..

WITH Grant for a candidate the Republican
party VIII have no surprises TO fear, and no
record to defend Nothing can be said which

mis- OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
This is about the first instance on record
wherein, IS an illustration, a culprit defies
public opinion because he had been SEN
fenced to the penitentisry for crimes that
had become notorious. Such rascal has no
surprises to fesr' because nothing could
be said of him which is not already known"
Grants administrations have been exposed.
The world knows all about his debaucheries
the thieves he fostered, protected and de-
feuded-and since he was not impeached
his impudence is regarded as a virtue. Pos
sibly nothing can damage Grant" but we
submit that because a man is crime-proof
he is not therefore the best man for Presi-
dent.

TIE recent annual convocation OF the
Masonic Grand Lodge of Indiana In this city
was one of the most important, and in many
regards the most satisfactory ever held. The
address of Hon. Bellany s. Sutton, Grand
Master of the State, is regarded as an able
paper, meeting every demand and evincing
clear comprehension of every question con-
nected with the growth and prosperity of
the order. There are now IN the State sos
Lodges, with a membership amounting to
2S, 900. Such an organization, having FOR its
supreme object, benevolence, requires for its
successful management abilities Of the first
order, large-heartedness, generous impulses,
and nobility of head and heart. The late
Grand Master, B. 5. Sutton, Esq, illustrated
these qualities in an eminent degree, and Is
q consequence, the order was never in a
more healthful condition.

A Grant Editor on Blaine's Campaign.
lLemsrs (Iowa) Sentinel


The time was when the average Democratic
editor was recognized as the
Champion liar of America.
But the Blaine editor has seen him and
gone his pile better.
We concede the Blaine editor to be the
cheerfulles. and mcs. gigantic liar in crea-
ton.
He lies sitting, standing, walking, talking,
writing, eating, drinking, asleep or awake.
HIS lies are the most miscellaneous In the
universe.
From the lean, thin, shriveled, strained,
pigmy, lilllputian, wee, minikin, hop-o-
my thumb, cantiDg lie, to the
Chut--aced fall grown turgid lie.
Tse stiff-necked contumacious impersuad-
able mulish lie,
The brszen faced, peremp.ory, unfalteriDg,
cosmopolitan lie.
The serious, logical, statistical lie. always
solemnly backed with grave looking columns
of returns from all the town, cities, Coun-
ties and States in America, ''as far as heard
FROM" and all solid for Blaine.
The gay, rollicking, airy, laughing lie,
The gentle, childlike, tender, enthusiastic,
Juvenile lie, ''just too sweet for anything +"
The massive, gigantic, colossal, cyclopean
lie, whose immense audacity fairly fright
ems the groundlings.
And the shame OF it too is, that all this
hideous, monstrous lying is about Grant by
nominal Republicans.
Blaine's campaign is an organized LIE.

Why They Want Grant Nominated.
rR0SfOn Post


Different people have different reasons for
supporting Grant for the Presidency. They
support him because he was a successful
General; because be wanted to annex San
Domingo; because Charles Summer stood in
his way, and he tried to crush him; because
Carl SchuTz stood in bis way. and be tried
to crush him; because Jacob d. Cox bellev-
ed in practiclng what Grant preached, and
he tried to crush him; because 3. H. Bris-
tow tried to crush the whisky ring and
Grant tried to crush him; because Grant
resented every blow ar the whisky ring
as blow at himself; because Grant looked
out for his friends always at the public ex-
pense; because Grant stands by his friends
right or wrong. especially when they are
wrong; because Grsntsppointed Belknap and
and Belknap sold post-traderships, and
Grant saved him from impeachment; be-
cause, when Richardson resigned the Treas
ury portfolio in disgrace, Grant appointed
him to a judeeship; because Grant never re-
fused present, and hardly ever failed to pay
for it from the public crib; because Grant
has been entertained by kings, and we must
entertain kings and their progeny 70 pay for
it, because Grants eight years failure
needs four years opportunity for re-
demption; because in addition to
his own bad government he has seen bad
government in foreign lands. These are the
reasons why some men are shriekilg for
Grant to come and reign over them. There
are also very few noble minded and patri-
otto men who support Grants candidacy
simply because they believe him to be the
greatest and the purest statesman OF the age.
These few never banker for the spoils of
office; they are American citizens who place
country above party or self aggrandizsment;
men with whom the example and precspts
of Washington, Jefferson, Msdison, Monroe
and Jackson are OF greater force than party
feeling. Some OF them are New Englenders,
notably Nathaniel P. Banks, George s. Bout
well, Alexander III. Rice. General Walter
Hartman, and ex Senator Patterson.
