The Enquirer says: If any man coult
have relieved John Sherman of his embar
rassments In Ohio, that man was Genera
Garfield. Governor Foster could have
done much more than he did. But Gar
field was lukewarm, and Foster didn't de
much more than formally redeem his obli'
cations. Garfield and Foster belong to the
class of statesmen who are ''snake- bitten
with the Presidency."-John Thompson
goes SO far as to say that if Thurman CAM

Here is fine chance for Thompson to be

Gratis are looking toward the White
House. By the way. does Thomp.
son look upon Jewett as an Ohio man? II
is well understood that If Jewett should be
nominated, Thompson will not have the
management of the Ohio campaign. 1t is
believed that would be the contingency in
which Colonel Len. A. Harris would take
up his residence for time in Columbus, OF
move the Democratic headquarters to Gin.

The Gazette says: If the Board OF Pub.
lie Works will keep the streets clean we
shall NOT probably need the services very
much of Board of Health this summer.
We shall certainly get along without the
Board of Iii Health that grew out of the
Kirby bill.-Blaine will not get near so
many votes at hicago as be received at
Cincinnati in 1876. This much seems to be
pretty we'll settled.-If General Grants
new departure with respect to the South
has escaped the notice of tie stalwart Re-
publicans Of the North it has not been
overlooked by the people of the States i'm
mediately interested. A dispatch says that
by far the greater share of the Generals let
ters at Galena come from the States lately in
rebellion, and contain expressions OF the
warmest personal regard.-The attack Of
the New York Times upon Secretary Sher-
man fell very fiat. That statesman has
been in public life actively and prominent
ly for twenty-five years, and no charge af-
fecting his personal or official integrity has
ever been maintained. The more he is
abused in this direction, the better lie ap-
pears. With such man as candidate for
President the campaign would be an ag-
gressive, not defensive one.-The reasons
for the suppression of annoyances are
stronger for the festival concerts because
they are rare, because many come far to at
tend them, because they come with great
of the musical enjoyment,
and because they are costly; while such
talk is dirt cheap, and the world would be
better if it were never talked. Where
breeding IS lacking, common honesty would
prevent this trespass upon the rights of
Others. Each person has the right to hear
the music which he has paid for without
from others The he or she
who behaves so as to prevent the enjoy
ment OF another commits an act as dishon-
est as to pick his pocket or steal his cake.
True pUllteness is to have the same regard
for the feelings of others as for your own;
and it is necessary that this shsuld be quail
fled by the breeding and refinement to
know what does infringe on the feelings of
we'll bred and refined people. Much OBJ
servaton at musical entertainments gives
the impression that there are two sorts of
people who are most addicted to this Of
Tense; one, the very coarse, who in general
have no regard for the decencies of life; the
other, those who Lhink they are what is
called society, and that this sets them
above the requirements of good manners.
The Commercial says: Grant so shuns a
nomination, when it Is not forced upon
him by an emergency, that his friends
when in a minority. rush off in gang by
themselves and take refuge in the Palmer
House.-The struggle for the eGubernatorial
nomination in Indiana would attract some
attention If IL were not overshadowed by
the Grant-Blaine contest In Illinois.-Con-
gress ought not to adjourn without making
some provision for the counting OF the
Electoral vote.-A proposition looking to
reduction OF salaries of Congressman was
frowned down "by a large majority" yester-
day.-Edwin H ytis to be hanged at Bridge
port, Conn.,, to-day. His wife, after visit
ing him on Monday, asked permission to
see tie gallows, and on being conducted to
the death trap, expressed desire to wit
ness the execution, saying, Il am glad he
is to be hung."-"We lave the bulge on
them," sa, 8 the Inter-Ocean, when Grant
minority, after begging for terms in the
Cook County Convention, bolted and sought
consolation in gang by themselves. John
Phoenix held his man down by inserting
his nose in the mouth of the wretch for
that purpose. There is no reason for elect
ing Grant President now that wouldn't
appear and reappear. If he can be elected,
he can be reelected. The talk about
his shrinking modesty and sensitive deli
cacy about the laws is all bosl, and
contrary to the rec .rd. 1t was Presi-
dent Grant who drove about Wash
ington and Long Branch a glittering and
jingling ''four-in-h and" and who wanted
the States to build mansions in Washing.
ton for their Senator'S who signed the back
pay bill that doubled his own salary
We do not want any more of that sort of
thing, and we are not going to have it.
Now is the time to stop it forever. If the
Republican party gives up its principles
and becomes the personal party of Grant,
it will be instantly damned and speedily
die; and the country will perform the du-
ty of taking care Of itself outside Of that
party.
