Grant.

1t is not doing full justice to the pOtcn-
tial politicians of the Republican party
who espouse the cause of Grant to as
sumo that they have no higher interest
in his third term candidacy than their
hopes of securing more influence under
such an administration lis his would be
than under that of any of his competi-
tors. No doubt Grant suits Conkling
and Cameron and Logan better than any
other candidate. but they are all astute
see their party led to defeat and who could
easily make terms with any of the other
candidates to get fair consideration
for support of one of them. 1t is not
to be assumed therefore that they are
for Grant, because they believe him
to be the weakest candidate their party
could devise, as the anti-third termers
argue. On the contrary many of them
fervently believe that Grant is the only
man whom they can elect, if indeed they
can elect anybody.
1t is very evident that to win this fall
the Republicans must not only hold their
own vote solid, but they must also
get great many votes which they
did not get in 1876. Cameron's argu-
ment, strengthened by his experience of
the Buckalew-H campaign, is
that the Republicans will vote for any
candidate their convention puts up, and
that the opposition to Grant now, no
fiercer than it was in 1872, will be stamp
ed out and Made as ineffective as 1t was
then. AS to the winning of Democratic
votes for their nominee they profess to
be able to do for Grant what no other
candidates friends claim, viz: to make
a break in the solid Democratic South,
and to secure certain class of Demo-
cratic votes for Grant in all the other
states.
Moreover. they point to Grant COM
petitors and to some fatal weakness in
the armOr of each one which Democratic
lances will pierce and thus discomfit the
party hosts. Sherman is low trickster
who has enriched himself by office-hold-
ing his Louisiana record was one of
the most shameful things in our pOliti-
cal history; his course on finance
shows him to be wavering, in
consistent, demagogical publicist :;
and his abuse of the civil service to aid
his own nomination is notorious. Blaine
has the ineffaceable odor of the lobby and
legislative jobbery about his clothes:
people at Washington, in a position to
know, say that there is an accumulation
of evidence against him which will blast
his name as soon as it is inscribed on his
party'S banner, and even VIM. H. KEN
BILE is said to still have that $4,000 check
which the Harrisburg Telegraph said he
exhibited at Cincinnati in 1876 as proof
of the venality of Blaine and of the exact
price of his political integrity. Wash
burne is simply a legatee of Grants for
tunes, a retainer in waiting for his old
shoes. Garfield's Credit Mobilier and De
Golyer pavement record would be kill
ing frost to the incipient buds Of further
political promotion. Edmunds' s course on
the electoral commission would prevent
him from gaining any Democratic sup
port, and so on to the end of the list.
The elder Cameron recently expressed
the opinion that if his party could not

asylum last week, had another attack yes

The solemnities of high mass were dis

NEARLY week has passed since the

by Lawyer Warfel, renewed its charge

very many of the honest people of the
county shall be slow to forget that poll

Though occasion has since offered,
neither Judge Livingston nor Judge
Patterson has called Lawyer Warfel into
court to show cause why he should not
be disbarred for Il reflection of the same
order as they have diSbarred the publish
ers of the INTELLIGENCER for making.
Judge Livingston cOncurred in that
opinion, though he is understood to
doubt the wisdom and propriety of it.
Nevertheless, in consistency he has no
right to make fish of a Republican pub

self on having privately snubbed Lawyer
Warfel for the criticism of his paper Oh

itate to publicly proceed against him:
His failure to do SO only points the IN
TELLIGENCEE's original criticism about
the different law which prevails here
when 9 all the parties implicated are Re

his finer discrimination by fining Il Hog

An Outrage in Peru.

A private letter received in Allegheny
City from Arequipa, Peru, March sOth,
reports that before the Chilian descent on
Mollendo, James Campbell, of this state,
young railroad employee, got all the NOV
able machinery and engines back into the
country and buried the other machinery.
Being captured by the Chilians and refus-
ing to tell where he had buried the ma
chinery, he was treated with great cruelty,
taken to Ansenda, lodged in Jail, tried and
sentenced to be shot. 1t was not believed,
however, that the sentence would be ex-
ecuted.

J. w. FRAZIER, the pestiferous president
maker-on paper-has now figured it out
that the Republican ticket will he Hamil-
ton Fish, of New York, for president, and
John Sherman, of Ohio for vice president.
Against this ticket the Democrats are
pretty certain to nominate Samuel J. Ran
dali for president and John NJ. Palmer, of
Illinois, for vice president. All this is
within the range of possibility but Frazier S
prediction makes it doubtful, since he rare
ly foretells anything, however likely, that it
does not fail. A blind hog does sometimes
find an acorn, and Frazier has these reasons
for the faith that is in him ''Speaker Ran
dall's best grip on the popular mind is his
clean hands and his well-earned record for
economy in the public service, and Pal
mer's strength is in his patriotic services
to his country and in his representing the
conservative element or both parties. Ran
dali and Palmer is reproduction of that
popular ticket which defeated General
Dix for Governor of New York in 1874 by
$4,000 Omajority-civilian Tilden Democrat,
General Dorshelmer, ,LiberalRepublican and
soldier. All the Democratic. statesmen in
the nation are combining to defeat Mr.
Tilden they will doubtless succeed in
preventing his nomination, but they can
not prevent Mr.. Tilden from determining
who tic nominee of the Cincinnati con-
vention shall be, and as the popular senti-
ment is STRONGLY in favor of integrity and
economy in public life, and as Samuel J.
Randall is the embodiment of these princi-
pies, he is most likely to be the Democratic
choice for leader in the campaign of this
year"

THERE is a story floating around which
cannot be traced back to an Ohio man,
that Hayes does not want Postmaster Gen
eral Key to leave the cabinet until he
knows definitely whether Secretary Sher-
man is going to receive the Republican
nomination at Chicago. If Mr.. Sherman
carries Off the honors then there will be
another vacancy in the cabinet, as Mr..
Sherman could not with prOpriety remain
secretary of the treasury after becoming
the nominee. r. B. II. would then have
two positions to fill, and the selections
would undoubtedly be made with view

Of the milwaukee, Post-Office, which it
spreads over some three or four columns. Of
its space. Stripped Of all its unnecessary
verbiage and reduced to It's merits of fact, the
article amounts to simply, this: 1t claims to
have discovered that men employed upon
outside and private work have been borne
upon the rolls Of the office and paid by the
public funds; that the Assistant Postmaster,

terest in the contract for the delivery of the

that competent and faithful officials have

pets, and specifics instances. Accompanying
this is the general charge that the Post-Ot1ice
has been, and is being, managed to subserve
local party. ends, and that under this system
positions in the Office are bestowed as rewards
for political service, without regard to the
merits or capacity of the appointees- The
