WATTERsoS, of the Louisville Courier
Journal, has matters figured down to ane
point rs to the Democratic party in it's entry On
the Presidential canvass. He says. editortaly:
It IS our fixed opinion that, with single ex"
ception, the Democratic party can elect no 1ndl-
but Mr.. ,Tilden. That single exception Is the
candidute named by Tildcn. 1t is ourfxed opin.
ion that we cannot maintain ticket Ia the helo
siz weeks unless it be headed or heartily sup"
ported by Nr. Tilden-
We suppose the candidate the old Us1frucs
would name Is one Samuel J. Tlden. In thas
case it is our solemn opinion that Gen Grant,
even handicapped down By the widespread nos"
tilfty to Third Termism, would most probably
beat him, that Blaine would be certain to defeat
him, and that Wa5hburne would have walk
away from him.

GES. GRANT said to John Russell Young
In one Of those remarkable conversations which
varied the monotony Of their journey around
the world:
had only one candidate for the Presidency
as my successor, and that was the Republican
candidate who could be elected. took no
part tn the proceedings antecedent 70 the Cn-
cinnaH Convention. because the candidates were
my friends, and any one except Mr: Hrssow
would have had my heartiest support. Dir. Rr1s-
tow never would have supported. for reasons
that may give at some other time in more
formal manner than mere conversation
That is to say, Grant would have refused to
support Bristow II he had been nominated, but
would have bolted and helped to elect bis Demo"
cratic opponent, Tlden. Is not this setting
rather dangerous example to the Young
Scratchers - and independently inclined class OF
Republicans? We see the evil effect on party

the people would not receive a single
electoral vote. Why, then, va such
a convention held, and why Ueres such
nominations made and such a plat
form constructed and accepted ? The
only plausible answer that can be
given TO such inquiries is, that through
them infatuated and mlsguided aspi-
rants aim to obtain official position
where the number of dupcs alhering
to them, combined with either Re-
publicans or Democrats, exceeds that
of The prepondering party. Except
in Maine, perhaps, such schemes will
be defeated by that plank which, in
effect, declares that those that have
bought lands have no higher title to
their farms than other rightful partic-
ipants in God-givcn bounties.
People, before voting for such a
crew, will want to know who is to
Judge and fix the size of Their estates,
themselves or the communists? They
will demand also to have ~"dccording
to contract'' authoritatlvely explained,
so as to prevent its being variously
interpreted to meet the conflicting
views and aspirations of different Sec
lions and individuals.
Therefore, Greenback organs have
intimated that Weavcr's ''according
to contract conceded with Demo-
cratic straightforwardness and honesty
of expression and purpose. They have
also endeavored to avoid the
inevitable significance of land
limitation in their party's pre-
vious %utterances by affirming that
it related to grants to corpora
tons, but, now that that plank has
been authoritatively explained, we
denounce it, as has been already done,
as contemplated communistic robbery
and unrighteous confscation of family
purchases, patrimonies and estates.
Since the adjournment Of the con-
vention, it has been we'll said by a
prominent communist that the Green
back designation of the National La
Dor party ought to be dropped. 1t
seemed to him that the Greenb..k is
sue had become stale, one-ideaed and
non-progressive. He wanted a broader
and more go-ahead name. 1t ought
to be known as the National Labor
and Free Land party, and under that
cognomen it would attain the aims OF
the G~reenbackers which had never
been conservative of property rights.

The last ballot cast at the Republic
u presidential convention is we'll
worthy of the serious attention of
every patriotic American. An ex-
animation Of it will show who among
the Republicans are third-tcrmists
and who are not-who are dissatisfied
with our government and in favor OF
imperialism and who are not.
OF the SOC votes cast for Grant at
that ballot, l73 were from Republicans
white and black, living in Soutlle;n
Democratic States, 53 from those
residing in Northern doubtful States,
of which fifty may be classcd as
machine votes that is cast at the bid
ding of a senator, and eighty from
citizens ofnorthern Republican States,
of which sixty-onc may be set down
as machine votes.
OF the three hundred and ninety
nine votes cast for Garfield, seventy
two came from Republicans in South
ern Democratic States, forty-nine from
these in doubtful Northern States,
and two hundred and seventy-seven
from Northern Republican States, tc
which add fifty votes cast for Blaine,
Sherman and Washburne, of which
81 were Northern aud 10 Southern.
OF the 30 votes cast by Missouri Re-
%publicans 20 were for Grant and l foi
| Garfield.

SO anxious were the members to

The Socialists now contemplated
leaving because their resolution had
not been annexed to the platform,
but were persuaded 20 remain. They
retired for consultation, but did not

Grecnbackcrs, and as a consequence,
they were more successful in obtain
ing what they demanded.

hackers approached God on their own
hook [Amenl, rejoicing in the medi-
alton of Christ, above all the priests

solution of the labor question, the
fathcrhood of God, and the conse-
quently brotherhood OF man. Oh,
Lord, bless this convention! GAnnen
and applause.
IMMoLATION.
Mr.. De La Matyr said the defec.
ton OF the past amounted to nothing
they had got rid of tho bummcrs and
towards. No person had any bust
ness on this movement who would
not immediate himself on the altar.
PORTRAITS.
A motion was made to take down
the picture of Zachariah Chandler.
which hung above the chairman.
This Occasioned great excitement. A
delegate from Pennsylvania wanted
the portrait Of Thad. Stevens put in
it's place. A Mr.. Platt moved to turn
every face to the wall except those of
Lincoln and Stevens. a member
protested against taking down q single
picture Or statue of q man that has
made the Republican party what it is.
There were Washington, Lincoln
nd Stevens for contemplation, and
as people looked at Grant, Chandler,
Conkling, Cameron and Logan they
could realize the evils and woes the
Republican party had brought upon
the country. [Applause.
THE OTHER FELLOWS.
Mr.. Jones presented a c%ommunica-
ton from the convention which met
at st. Louis in March, and gave its
COMMITTEES power to modify its plat
form and withdraw its candidates.
THE GAS BAGS.
Dennis kearney proposed a five
minutes limitation to speeches. This
was met with cries of "no gag law,
old man Kearney." "Well,' SAID
Dennis, 81 withdraw my motion in
order to give every mar a chance to
empty his gas bag" Applause
UNION GREENBACKERs.
Mr.. Norton wanted to know how
! tho Union Greenbackers we're to be
admitted. Was their organization to
be abandoned? j. M. Devine an
swered, estates cannot be allowed
more than equitable representation
THE SOCIALISTS.
Mr.. Devices remarked, these men
are factors in the presidential contest.
Mr.. Morgan wanted to know how
many votes they controlled. Some
one answered 5000. They claim
100, 900. Mr.. Brown wanted to know
what part of the country they repre-
sented. The resolution to admit them
was adopted. A Pennsylvania said,
''my delegation is going home" A
voice: "Let it go; there will be
plenty left" At this point a man
bearing a banner with "Liberty,
Equality, Frateraity, Sociolists,' in
scribed on it came into the hall at
the head of that body, and was re-
ceived with cheers and Kisses.
WOMAN's RIGHTS AND WRONGS.
Mrs. Gage read an essay on wo-
mans wrongs, and Miss Anthony and
Mrs. Spencer addressed the conven
ton on woman's rights. The remarks
Of the latter were applaudcd, but
Dennis replied that he always con-
suited his wife On such subjects, and
she said, "Dennis, if you meddle with
woman's suffrage, instead of meeting
you with q kiss on your r~et1rn, l will
meet you with q tat iren." Wherea,
