The Democratic attempt at good behavior in Con-
gross has evidently been abandoned. 1t might as
well be- since it has deceived no one. II was simply
an effort TO do on the sly the same sort OF dirty
work which made the Democracy OdiOus during the
extra session. The newspapers have made conceal
ment impossible. and 80 long rs they exposed the
seat-snatcbng and other dsgTacetul operations 10
didn't make any difference whether the dunder-
heads talked in the old way or kept silent.
If the Pennsylvania Democrats are able to send
Hancock delegation to the Cincinnati Convention,
the General will at once become a formidable can
didate. He has great deal Of strength in the
South and if it appears that his own State is solid
behind him. he will be likely to gather recruits
from all other quarters. His sudden development
from an improbable to a probable candidate is ono
more evidence of the reviyifying effect which the
prospect If third term has upon the Democratic
party. With Grant thrust upon the Republicans Of
Pennsylvania, against their so fOrcibly expressed
wish, the Democrats of that State are convinced
that they would have chance OF carrying 1t Wlth
favOrte SCI" as a candidate Hence tney come
10 the front with Hancock. Were Grant 70 be taken
from the field Hancock would be certain to disap-
pear as quickly as he has arisen.
If the country has never had chance to vote for

The only Democratic defence offered Of Garcelon
is that tho Republican party has had plenty Of just
"a bad scalawags. That must be a great comfort to
Garcelon.
Blaine delegation from Rhode Island is a sur
prise to the third-termers. There will be moro
shocks of the same kind from the West presently.
Tilden might start reaction IN his favor by pub
lishine that entertaining correspondence making
demands on the barrel.
There are encouraging signs Of falling out
among the Maine thieves. Garcelons attempt TO
+hrow all the blame for the attempt to steal the
State upon his Council has enraged one Of its mem
bers Mr. FOgg so much hat he has relieved his
mind publicly IN an interview in The Le'ei8ton Jour
nal. He charges that GarceOn il deficient in back
bone or be would not have gone before Mr. Hale's
committee and says he can only account for the ex
Governors testimony the ground that he has.
"softening of The BRAIN" or has been incorrectly
reported. If the report is correct, be thinks they
must have got him drunk" He then admits that
"there was a ring IN tho Council" but declares that
ne wasn't IN IT, "Garcelon's advisers outside
the Council the COun Il could take no action
without the Governors sanction" Fo&g sums up
Garcei0n's in three blunders FIRST, IN asking
the opinion Of the supreme Court second, m APP

HaleS committee. There was one previous 10 these,
and that was ~ ceaslng to be an honest man.
Washington is full of rumors about Tilden. One
is that he has bargained for the purchase of the
Ohio delegation for $4,000. Another is that he is
The author OF the periofic on breaks about Sey-
mour, being animated partly by a desire to make
Seymour ridiculous and partly by wish TO keep the
party impressed with the necessity of having New
