There appears TO be no doubt that Hon.
Galusha A. Grow is the favorite candidate
fer United States Senator among the
masses of the Pennsylvania Republicans
in the event that they nave majority of
the next Legislature, which will be called
on either to re-elect Senator Wallace or to
replace him by another. Il is a very
creditable choice, we think, for, without
knowing anything of his associations, we
ut least know that Grow is a man of
sufficient ability to have a National repu-
tation before he is Senator, which is not
the sort of Senators the Cameron crowd
are addicted to choosing in Pennsylvania.
We fear, however, that even if the Repub.
licans have the chance to elect their man
that the Camerons will either order the
election of some one else or impose con-
ditions on Mr. Grow which will make his
abilities mere force to perpetuate Cam.

Any better illustration of double distilled
impudence could not be imagined than an
attack by James G. Blaine on Mr. Bayard's

an evader and shuifsr about finance a
matter of which he really knew scarcely
anything, while Bayard has ever been as
clear in thought as he has been bold in
utterance, and yet Blaine has recently
attempted to show that Bayard has always
been the opponent of sound finance and
