Mr. WattersOn Is said to be in the dOleful dumps
over 1iIdens alleged withdrawal. John Kelly ought

Concerning some of the good people who claim to
have started General Garfield in life, The Cteretand
Herald says: This all reminds one OF the man VINO
hired yOung Garfield to work for him In hayng
when the latter sixteen years DID, and after ad-
hitting that he did more work than any man he had,
attempted to allow him boys wages and cheat MN
ont OF that. When Garfield was nominated for
Congress this man was loud In his assertions that
he made Garfield y that he gave him employment
when he needed it to support his widowed mother.
Or. again. II is something like tho woman who
pTraly offended the sensibIlites of the young gen.
cral when he was a poor boy, working Tor her I0r

elected to the State Senate she very FREQ Ill her

the nomination Of a man to be beaten of course
TilGrn was extremely careful not 10 let any allu
sion 10 cphers slip into his final frand wall, but he
WAS incautiOus enough to be betrayed INTO this
direct reference to the ti1Sue-baot exploits or the
uulllozing brethren IN the South: " The immense
growth of the means of corrupt influence over the
ballot-box had already become n present evil ami
great danger. tending to make elections lrrcspon-
sbc to puLlc opinion, hampering the power OF the
nronlc t change rulers" II he had added that his
pariy il Congress had wasted two sessions in vain
effort to bully the President into sanctOniDg re-
peal OF tin" only laws which make the detection ana
arrest Of thiS corrupt influence over the ballot
box" possible that portion of his fraud paneRync
would have been uncommonly forciblc. The old gen
lcInan Is evidently losing his grip
Tidcn saws he is tired Of shouting fraud, and
wishes to "scrk the repOse of private life" yet
hr argues that if ho isn't allowed to reDose he can
be elected President. and he Is the only man in the
party who can. But there arc Democrats who pro-
capr from the hand of man." If they had said
sycst" nobody would disT ute the assertion
WHY don't the Democrats make their ticket Uncle
Joel Parker and Uncle Dick Blshopf They are
hoth such ablr hanl-shakcrs that the country would
uniyrr end 10 end as by ri earthquake, during
the entire canvass.
Is the Democracy. which has been trying these
three years to get away from Tilden. going to de-
ciInr 10 run, now that he has opened the door Of

General Garfield enters on the third week OF his
candidacy stronger than ever This is evident to
nny careful observer The ISLANDERS OF the profess
sionnl slandrrers have not injured him particle.
! here il not a break in tho Republican party any
where. aud not even an independent Kcpnollcaan
has shown any uncasiDess over the Dem0cratlc
assaults. This Is only what was TO be expected.
II IL noticeable that in his column letter of grev
anccs and INSTRUMENTATION Mr.. Tildcn
full not to recommend any one for the succession,
and also careful not to say that he will assist III the
election of anyone else. He is careful to say how
ever that he wshrs to escape politics altogether.
From which the inier"nce IL easy that tho only can
didacv which he will take any interest i'll will be
his own.
Nobody takes much interest in the Cincinnati
Convention simply because the general impression
IA that the Democrats will be beaten if they take
Tiden, and worse beaten if they don't.
Seymour says he would rather have funeral than
q nomination. The two will 90 together.
