AN UGLY SHADOW OF THE FUTURE.
1t may be that Senator Logan looks
upon this achievement as grand sue
cess. In one sense it is. Only bold,
brassy man would have ventured upon
such campaign Of glaring contradictions.
But morally it is defeat, and more
than that, it is the foreshadowing Of a
line of policy in administration at
Washington, should General Grant be
selected, which may we'll excite alarm
and apprehension. Albany Erening

In respect to the strict construc-
ton of the Constitution and the
right OF local self-government which
logically follows therefrom the
Democracy of the country is a unit.
North, South, East, West, WHEREBY
er the Democracy has anything
that merits the name of organiza-
ton, and wherever Democratic opin-
ions are entertained, this article in
the faith of the fathers is still cher
ished and chung to as fundamental
doctrine, without which not the
Democratic party alone, but the
government it instituted, would per-
ish from the face of The earth.
And it is with this doctrine, as we
intimated at the outset, that JUS
tice Field has the good fortune to
be more prominently identified than
any other candidate whose name is
likely to be heard in the ballotiDg
at Cincinnuti. 1t is his good for
tune. Bayard, Tilden, Thurman,
Payne. Hendricks Demo-
cratic leader, in fact, can be count
ed among the staunch upholders Of
the doctrine: but it tell to Justice
Field to uphold it under circum-
stances which made his support
must noticeable and memorable

We are confident that Tilden will be
the man put up at Cincinnati for Presi-
dent. Will the Funders, who have so
unanimously pronounced him uDht 10
be nominated or elected, boom Tor MN
and vote for him ?-RichmOnd Wing.
Yes. The funders and large num-
Der ofreadjusters of this Valley will
vote for the nominee Of the Cincinnati
Convention, if the convention should
nominate Tilden. Many Of them would
prefer some other nominee, sbut when
the contest comes between Grant,
Tilden, and a galvanized ticket without
a head, they will vote for Tilden.

Mr.. VIM. PURCELL, .editor of the
Rochester Union, and formerly chair
man of the New York democratic State
committee, says the democrats must be
united or the republicans will win that
State. He personally prefers Tilden'
bat does not sdeem him available. He
thinks that either Hendricks or Payne
could carry New York.

The FIRST STEP.-General Grant
can live only score of years. Tbs
nation, under Gods blessing, may live
thousands OF years. The precedent es-
tahlished by Grants election to third
term will stand forever. That action
will be the complete removal, once for
all, of any barrier to the prepetuation
of executive power 10 one man. There
cannot be too many safeguards to pre-
serve a peoples liberties. But the one
most indispensable Of all Is limitation
to the Executive. - Indianapolis NsDs

We hope we shall hear no more
about an independent electoral ticket in
Virginia. Such thing Is an absurdity,
and those who undertake it will ONLY
render themselves ridiculous. What
would an Independent ticket do any
how? Better stop all this foolishness
at once, aud come out boldly in advance
of the Cincinnati conveatlon and declare
whether we will support the nominees
or oppose them. That is the manly
course. The State.

A distressing accident occurred last
Monday morning at the iron furnace
near Newport, Giles county, Va. Two
Young men were at work in the cut
leading to the ore bank, when the earth
cayed in from above and buried them.
One of them, McCroskey, of Newport,
was rescued by the workmen before he
bad suffocated, but he was taken out
more dead than alive. He may possi-
biz recover from his injuries, though
they are severe. The other, Hall, OF
Montgomery county. was dead when
they rescued him. Both the men were
married.

Political Notes.

The National Republican League
is said to be composed Of men who
not only profess to be, but who are,
staunch Republicans, and who con-
tend that party revolution would
be better than third term that
the nomination of the ex-President
at Chicago would be an injury deep
ly affecting both the welfare of the
party and the country ; that it
would be contrary to the spirit Of
our institutions of government;
that the third-term movement is
anti-Republican; that it is an in
novatiOn upon the great unwrltten
law governing the presidential sue
cession which is dangerous to pop
ular liberty; and it is an unwise
and unnecessary departure from es-
tablishing custom.
THEIR LAST FLEETING HOPE.-
As near as we can Judge at this
writing, the best chance the anti
Grant Republicans have to save
their party from entering the Pres
idential race handicapped by the
third term ofense and the corrup-
ton of Gen, Grants previous adj
ministration is to unite John Sher-
man, the one genuine representa-.
tive of opposition to Grantism, and
a man in every way qualified for
the Presidency. If Grant be nomi-
mated, he will almost surely be de-
feated.-B0StOn Herald.
TILDEN WILL Nor WITHDRAW.
-New York, May 21.-Hon.
John G. Priest, of Missouri, Secre-
tary of the National Democratic
Committee, is at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and he says that all the talk
about Tilden's withdrawal as the
Presidential candidate is the veriest
bosh. He has seen Mr.. Tilden
and conversed with him freely, and
Tilden had not even intimated that
he was not candidate Gin. Ga
zette.
The ILLINOIS "VICToRY,"- The
result IN Illinois puts Blaine out Of
the question as a Presidential cand-
idate. y
AS the case now stands, it is
Grant against the field, with Blaine
practically out of the race. But
can Grants friends afford to ::nomi-
nate him ? If the nomination were
to an election,the friends
of Grant might shout {; but it is
well known that this is not the case.
- Cincinnati Gazette, 22d.
If Grant is not nominated at
Chicago on the first ballot, he will
not be nominated at all. Blain will
poll his greatest strength on the
first ballot, and that will fall so far
short of an election that he will be
practically abandoned.-Cin. GG-
zette
Blaine made his fight and is
beaten, 1t is well. Ii one must |
choose between two evils, Grant
should be the choice. But the Chi
cago convention should avoid that
kind of a choice.-Cin. Gazette.
The first contest in the Chicago |
convention will be upon the unit
rule, and upon the decision Of that
question much, but not all, will |
depend.-Cin. Gazette.

better every day. If Massachu-
sets would join hands with Ohio
