THE st. Louis Post-Dispatch says: Very
naturally, the Greenbackers, Socialists and
Free Lovers are going to Chicago to hold their
national convention on the 10th OF June next.
There is something about the loose and i'm
moral quagmire at the lower end of Lake
Michigan which attracts people of low tastes
and questionable designs.
THE Peoria National Democrat says: The
nomination OF William ii. English, OF Indiana,
would at once strike convection Of success TO
the mind of every Democrat and business
man who loves his business more than poIiti-
cal party in this broad land, and that convic-
ton always carries the floating vote, and the
floating vote carries the big maiorities

THE identical ring given to Martin Luther
by Catherine Won Bora, IA days before her

THE Chicago Times says that it is alleged
that John Sherman is sending large-sized
Autographs his ugly frontispIece to all parts
of the country as treasury freight, the Govern
ment thus paying for purely personal mat
ter. The supposition is that the secretary,
who is a candidate tor the Republican presi-
dental nomination IN lsSO, Iabors under the
delusion that he Is advancing his own partlcu-
lar boom in distributing the portraits
TIE Columbus Democrat says: "If Grant is
nominated, as he certainly will be, he can
not carry Ohio if a good man is nominated by
the Democrats. Thurman would beat him
10000 votes, and Hendricks or Bayard would
carry the State against him. With Tilden
the issue would be more doubtful. We fail TO
perceive any great amount of enthusiasm for
Tilden just now in this State. There is an i'm
preston that he is dead, and on II TO stay in
in his political tomb"
TIE Portland (Mainel Argus says. 1t may be
well to direct attention of the Blaine gang
who appear so delighted at the revolutionary
utterances of the clergy in this State, to the
ct hat Rfx- Mr. he In
admission to several pulplts last fall, during
his visit to Maine, only because he was en-

from hoosier-land would do more to futher the
interests of our State. lie has been an emf.
nently successful man in all of his undertake
ings, political and commercial, and he is a
statesman, flnancier, and gentleman whose
public record and private character are above
suspicion. Give him the nomination and In
diana and Illinois will both be In Democratic
trim.
THE Cleavelsnd PlaIndealer says: Republi-
can fraud" won in ISL, and the creature of
that fraud is exercising the powers of presi-
dent now. But in the long run the Republi-
cans will learn that the precedent they set in
1877 will return to plague them. The Dcmoc-
racy viii never again allow themselves to he
defrauded out of a president fairly elected
The next president, If he receives, did Til
den, majority of the electoral votes, can not
be cheated. A Democratic Congress will see
that a fair count is had.
THE rumored additions to the great fortunes
identified with Wall street from the success

IT is evident that even the hberality of Mr..
q. W. Childs was not large enough to meet the

phia. The Council has made APP preparation
of $4,000 to settle the accounts. Among the
bills was one of 500 for emusic by the band"

for entertaining "A guests, among them Sena-
tor and ex-senator Cameron. ex-Secretary
Robson, ex-senator John j. Patterson, for a
time of South Carolina, and Rev DIR. New
man.
LET every "little Sallie Waters" who is
"sighIng, crying for a young man" derive con-
ISOLATION from the woes of MiddIetown
charmer. This unfortunate maiden has two
patient and persistent lovers, which would
appear to be vastly worse than having none.
They both call seven nights in the week, and
their efforts to tire each other out have re-
suited IN the utter prostration OF the young
lady. She recently informed friend lin the
strictest confidence, of course, which accounts
for this paragraph that she had averaged less
than five hours sleep night for more than
two weeks. IL is evident that this sort OF
thing can not last. There will be either sui
eide or murder in the first degree.
