THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform
themselves carefully alike of the action of
their party throughout the country and Of
the movements of their Republican Oppo-
nents. A failure to do this in 1876 contrib
uted greatly to the loss by the Democracy
of the fruits Of the victory fairly won at
the polls.
The year 1880 promises to be one of the
most interesting and important years OF
this crowded and eveDtful century. 1t will
witness a Presidential election which may
result in re-establishing the Government OF
this country on the principles Of it's consti-
tutiOnal founders, or in permanently
changing the relations of the States to the
Federal power. No intelligent man can
regard such an election with Indifference.
During the past year The World has seen
its daily circulation treblef and it's weekly
circulation pushed tar beyond that OF any
other weekly newspaper in the country.
This great increase has been won, as The
World believes, by truthfulness, enter
prise, ceaseless activity in collecting news
and unfaitering loyalty to itself and to its
readers in dealing with the questions OF
the day. 1t is our hope and it will be our
endeavor that The Worlds record for 1881
may be written in the appreciation and

il fixed that The Detroit Free Press is the

that il has the greatest circulation-though
for that matter few papers have a more
extended one-but that the most profound
affection for it exists among those who
read and know its merits.
Certain it is that no journal contains SO
many attractive and original features.
Enjoyable in the highest degree, its tone
is the purest its literary standard the
most excellent
1t combines to o surprising extent in its
well-illed pages the grace, learning, vii,

edge in it's illimitable extent may be
compared to well ordered banquet.

sorting to abuse or calumny or other ille-
gitimate agencies against his competitors,
he has been subjected to all these in de-
gree that is seldom INDUCED in our most
bitter contests with the enemy In this
stings have been inflicted upon General
GRANT and his supporters which must
rankle aud tester in the future to produce
an unhealthy and unfortunate condi-
ton within the party. The future in
tercsts of unity and good-fcllowship
within the party have been seriously jeop-
ardized by the unusual methods and agen-
cies that have been introduced into
this canvass, for the reason that they
have been made needlessly offensive
to the feelings of General GRANT and those
who prefer his nomination and have sought
to accomplish it within the bounds of
usage and propriety. Not that his friends
propose TO prove faithless to the Republican
cause should the choice of a candidate fall
upon another-but the zeal and fire of the
campaign arc subject TO cooling process
under existing circumstances. Much that
has been said and done should have been
left unsaid and undone for while personal
ends may be subserved thereby, the gen.
eral good of the party will not be pro-
NOTED and strengthened.

THE Aspects or TUE CANVASS.

We have not the slightest doubt Of the
result of the present canvass for the nomi-
nation at Chicago. The nominee will be
General GRANT, if he shall be presented as
n candidate, as he undoubtedly will be.
Seldom in the history of the Republican
party has there been so bitter an array Of
hostility ou the part Of those who antago-
nize his nomination against the common
enemy as has been brought to hear upon
him in this controversy. The most un-
scrupuous mendacity, the most unusual
methods of unfairness and the most bitter
nnimosities have been brought TO the front
TO encompass his deieat-all having their
origin in the struggle Of 1872 His revilers
now were his reyilers then. The arguments,
OF, rather, the statements-for they cannot
be digniled as nrguments-made now to
prejudice his candidacy are n rehash Of the
dish served up by recreant Republicans for
tho dolectation of the Democratic party in
that contest. The people declared their
want of confidence in the justice of that
crusade then, aud they will do the same
thing now by placing him at the head of
the Republican column, for the reason that
his adversaries arc using burnt powder in
their assaults.
There is much, very much, in this con-
troversy to regret. 1t has been charged
with methods ana agencies entirely unbe-
coming the occasion, and exceedingly
dangerous to the future unity, harmony
and efficiency of the Republican party as
an opposing power to the Democratic or
ganizaton. While the friends of General
GRANT have relied solely upon Republican
usage and the machinery Of tho party for
the advancement of his cause, without re-

SPARKS FROM THE POLITICAL ANVIL.


Tho Grant movement is booming in Indiana
now. 1t is very contagious thiug-lGlobe-
Democrat.
The San Francisco cal is Of opinion that
Grant could beat either Tilden or Field in
California aud Nevada.
Dr. Miller, of the Omaha Herald (Dcm.),
thinks that Tilden's one great polite quality
is that he knows when to do nothing.
Hon. William Heiman again positively an
nouuces that under no circumstances will he
be q candidate for Governor Of Indiana.
Congressman Reed says the Potter investiga-
tion showed that Rutherford b. Hayes had
not played the knave and Samuel j. Tilden
had"
The Cincinnati Commercial says that the
friends Of Secretary sherman claim for him
300 votes at the National Convention on the
first ballot.
The Democratic party has at last found an
issue. 1t is going before the country on the
declaration that Cadet Whitaker bit of his
own ear Portland (Me) Press.
The Mobile (Ala.) Register pleads that surely
it is not too much to ask that the South shall
be permitted to say who shall not be the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency.
