bloated treasury. To-day the government
owes its officials nearly million of dollars
which this congress neglects to pay, and
for the reason that it is averso to a law
which provides for honest elections, and
which it has not the power to repeal. This
is democratic justice and economy based
upon pig.headedness and wrong Never
before this congress began to make its record
on the page of history was this nation sub
jected to such insult and wrong. This con-
gress has attempted TO overturn wise and
beneiicont laws by revolutionary strategy,
but it has met restraining power that has
defeated its purposes, and now it tells the
judiciary you must starye, and to the court
houses, postoilices aud custom houses, you
must 90 into utter darkness that the de-
feat of our purposes may be revenged. This
is democratic justice and economy as prac-
tically taught in ! Is own high school. The

might be left to infer that man who had

not only had personal qualities which iusJi-
fed this action Of the people, but that lie

WASHINGTON was not elected third time,

WASHINGTON did not do or have done to

prehend, understand, follow and initiate,
and ordinarily not what they did not do.

SPARKS FROM THE POLITICAL ANVIL

pected 500 100000 had been stolen from the
United States treasury-which it wasnt.-LN,

" How would Colonel - do for delegate to
Cincnnati?" asked one Democrat of another
yesterday. "He would do first rate to go to
the depot to see the Others off, was the prompt
reply Boston Post.
Does one man write up the various demo-
cratic platforms? They bear striking rcsem-
blance to each other That fraud paragraph,
Mt least, should he inclosed in quotation
marks.-[Phila. Bulletin.
The Cincinnati Gazette, referring to General
Grant says. In all his relations to the repub-
lican party he incurred no obligations which
give the shadow of ground for charging him
with bad faith to that party.
The St. Louis Globe. Democrat puts it in
this way: Before l call another convention 1
will make sure of at least six delegates to be
in attendance. Conventions without dele
gates are unsatisfactory.-[Jo B. Hender-
sou in soliloquy."
The colored republicans will not have
sufficient influence in the pending campaign
TO demand place on the presidential ticket,
but the Chicago convention could scarcely Sc
lect more worthy man than Senator Bruce,
of Mississippi.-[ York Telegram.
Even the Democratic House could not get
over the large majority of votes cast for
Yokum and seat Governor Curtin. And now
the Philadelphia Times gets mad and lays this
act of justice, in allowing Yokum to retain his
seat, to 'the rebel brigadiors." Tho "R B."
ought to be proud of this censure.
Grant can afford to be beaten, for he has not
asked the Office. He presents the strange
spectacle Of being the object of all the malice
of the other candidates without having taken
one step toward securing the nomination in
fact. he is not a candidate in the sense in
which they are. OF course all the attacks are
limited to "thrd term for the republican

WHAT WE AXE COMING TO.

There has not been any revision of the
BLAINE table recently that has reached
the public eye, hence it is difficult to un-
derstand just where the wind comes from
that is noisy about the certain success of
that statesman, in view of the ostensible
condition of the figures. As the canvass
continues and the results are known day
by. day, one thing cannot well be gotten
over, General GRANT continues largely
ahead of any other candidate in the accumu-
lation of delegates and for that matter the
indications arc that he is ahead and will
keep ahead of the field to the opening OF
the national convention. Then, rs we have
modestly contended from the first, the
probabilities are that before the first ballot
is ended General GRANT will be nominated
and the result will be made unanimous with
whirlwind OF enthusiasm, which will
show to the country how hollow has been
the array of hostility against him, aud how
easily it caves in when the shell is once
broken. We have never complained be
cause other republicans have preferred
another candidate. This is an inalienable
right with which none have a right to in-
terfere. What we have objected TO, and
what we continue to object to, are the
methods that have been introduced into
this primary canvass TO embarrass and en-
bitter the contest, and leave wounds to be
healed when the preliminary struggle is
ended. This is the wrong feature of the
contest, and it is so wrong that it cannot
be either justified or defended. The as
saults upon General GRANT have been more
bitter, unfair and un assumptions than could
have been anticipated from the democratic
party even if the struggle had been over
the results of the final ballot. 1t would
have been n very slow down" democrat
who would have circulated the looming
"crown," and been guilty of other cowardly
and insidious attacks that have been made
upon General GRANT during this rivalry
for the nomination.
However, the end is near, and then much
that has been said and done will be re.
gretted by those who have inconsiderately
said and done them. The question of "thirt
term having failed as scnrecrow, vii
be carefully folded up and laid away to bt
forgotten, except by few who must have
some objection to candidate, and may as
well trihe around the third term bubble
MS any other phantom of the imagination
Before the middle of June the whole coun,
try will be ablazo with GRANT bonfires and
vocal with GRANT huzzas, and then all but
the fools who have been by far too active il
this canvass will forget everything els,
under sense of duty that the country
must be saved to republican principles ant
rules.

THE UNsUBsTANTIAL FABRIC OF A
VISION

Nothing more clearly indicates the pecu-
liar state Of the political atmosphere than
the phantom which men affect to see out
lined against a background of nothing,
called "the third term" 1t is purely an
optical illusion-a mere spectre-and yet in
its name q convention was recently con-
iured at ST. Louis as if it was of substance,
come, and The evil which some men seem to
think must be embodied within it or which
turks behind it could be dissipated. OF
course it is the merest war cry against one
caudidate-lhe most disingenuous and un-
manly that can be or ever was invented.
1t is a curious political negative pregnant
direct concession that there is and can be
nothing else to be urged against General
GRANTS candidacy, except that he would
be for third time elected to the
presidency. If really in this time, when
specially and peculiarly qualified man
is demanded for the place, this is all that
can be urged against him, he should be
nominated by acclamNtion.
If this shadowy thing could be caught
and fixed, and found to be of substance, it
might be analyzed. What is it? Is there
anythir" in the constitution which renders
man distinguished by two elections to
the place ineligible to third? Is there
any such thing implied in our system oi
politics? No shadow Of either, Is there
any fatal or omino"s instance in our history
or tradition Of this alleged evil, that super
stition even can feel uncomfortable over
] That is not pretended. 1t has never been
