Something Broken Loose.

The trouble that has been brew

opposition among Republicans to
Representative Horr, appears to
have broken out afresh and this

disinterested observers were startled
with the statement made by staunch
Republicans in this city that Mr..
Horn would not be elected, and Of

some instances to the extent Of

made to his nomination and it was
generally supposed that the matter

Henry Beal, a prominent life
long and influential Republican
Of Gallipolis, Ohio, has enlist
ed under the Hancock banner for
the campaign. Mr.. George Bull
lock, a wealthy manufacture and
well known philanthropist Of Mont
gomery county, Pennsylvania, and
leading Republican, is an active
supporter of General Hancock for
President. When this announce
ment was first made there was a
disposition among Republicans to
pooh-pooh Mr.. Bullock: to set him
down as not much of n Republi-
can, and not much Of a man gen
orally. The Philadelphia Times
has ascertained that Bullock has
been one of the solid men of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania,
contributing large amounts Of
money TO the Republican cam
paign funds, and welding a large
personal influence. Among other
Republicans of Montgomery coun'
ty who arc for Hancock, are Gen.
eral William Bolton, q battle

The Commercial-Gazette is not
wise. 1t called for the publica-
ton Of the whole of General
Hancock's correspondence with
General Sherman during the trou-
blesome winter of 1861. The
rest of us Republican newspapers
are entirely satisfied with the one
that has been published. That is
boomerang enough at present. 1t
is so manly and moderate and
patriotic; aye, and so statesman
like, that if we were an organ like
the Gazette we would be secretly
sorry that we ever demanded" its
publication. Nor would we be con-
sumed with curiosity to know
whether he wrote any more letters

when the time comes, it will lay
before the voters of tho district
such information as will make all
honest Republicans query whether
they had not better support DEM

-Horr must get off the ticket, or
the Republican party will suffer

journal is calculated to warrant the
assertion that, something has
broken loose Not satisfied with
this the News throws in Il few
double shots in the same issue, as
follows:
Anything to defeat Horn.
There will be n Horrible Re-
publican defeat in this district this
fall.
Will some one tell as what Il. q.
Horr ever did in Congress!
The Republican convention NOM
mated Horr by reclamation. The
honest Republicans viii defeat him
at the polls in November in the
same manner.
A prominent Michigan Rcpubli-
can who was in Bay City yesterday,
and who resides outside this dis
trict, remarked that he wished no
lived here in order to help defeat
Horr. And he was man who has
supported the Republican party
ever since it was organized under
the oaks too.
The Clare Press Republican,
also promises to do all in its pow
err TO defeat Mr.. Horr.-Saginaw
Courier.

Political Side Shows.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser Rep
We don't know who conceived
the plain of bringing General Gar
field down from Ohio aud through
the State of New York after the
manner of Barnum's circus. We
are free to say that, in our judg-
ment. it is i'll advised. 1t is a poor
imitation of the side show business
which the Democrats tried with
Greeley in 1872. Getting up en-
thusiasm by brass bands and wind
instruments was all very well be-
fore the invention of the cheaper
newspapers, railroad, telegraph and
telephone. The show and hurrah
business, produced some show OF
enthusiasm for Greeley, but made
no votes for him. 1t has failed
with Democracy, it is not possible
tosucceed with Republicans.
