WHAT A GREAT REPUBLICAN ORGAN
SAys-ALL Is LOVELY IN THE DEMO
CRATIC CAMP While our neighbors
of the Republican party in this
city are representing the Democrats
as being divided in sentiment and fac
tious in intention in other cities, by
some otherRepublican newspapers they
are represented as being judicious and
careful, but as busy as bees working
mp their cause, drilling their forces
and wisely holding their tongues while
increasing their strength, in fact in
the Democratic camp everything is as
lively and orderly as camp of the
ancient Greeks before an engagement.
At least this is what we might infer
from reading the following from our
Republican neighbor, the Philadel-
phia Telegraph, of yesterday, which is
so decidedly hostile to the nomination
of the ex-President, that it declares

country another administration even
more scandalous than those with
which he had already afflicted the
country. 1t says;

work out of doors, in the full glare of

feeling as to make their business

watching the doings of their oppo-

Republican National Convention will
meet at Chicago, but it will be more
than fortnight after when the Demo-
cratic National Convention meets at
Cincinnati. The latter are in no
hurry, are not at all excited, not bit
divided by a half-dozen warning fac
tions, as their opponents are, and, if
united upon one thing more than an
other, it is upon the effort to make the
ex-President the Republican nominee.

their praise so warm as to be open to

"The love-feast of the Pennsylvania
