The nomination of Garfield and Arthur
was bitter pill to the Grant men, and was
received with no demonstration of enthusi.
ssm, In conversation with leading
radical and prominent otfce-holder last
evening, he expressed himself as highly
pie sed with the nominations, and regarded
them AS strong as could be made outside of
Grant The "great traveller" was his favor
ito, and last Friday and Saturday nights he
gave evidence of his faith in his nomination
by buying pools that he would be the nomi-
nee of the party, and must have dropped
several dollars on his defeat AS a general
thing the Grant boomers are exceed
ingly sore. This, coupled with the money
they lost, makes them regard the nomi-
nations as weak, and some already
predict Democratic triumph. The ne
groes are inquiring "who is dis here Gar
field and Arthur? Where dey from, and
what hab dey dun for de niggers?" These
untutored disciples of the Republican faith
will require good deal of instruction as to
the pedigree and standing of the nominees
of the great Republican party. Suggestions
have been made that if the Democratic party
would take up Grant aud nominate him at
Cincinnati on the I'D, they would COM
pletely turn the tables on the Republicans
and triumphantly elect their ticket. This is,
however, do .bted by the more thoughtful,
who reason that the American people are
opposed to breaking down the precedent es-
tablished by Washington, and observed by
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and the immor
tai jackson, and by these illustrious examples
has become a portion Of the unwrltten
law of the land, as much so AS the Monroe
doctrine. Third-termism is unpalatabe to
all true lovers of American liberty and the
whitening rebuke it received vt Chicago |
should convince all demagogues that with all
their chicanery tn y cannot stultify the will |
of.the people. The country is Democratic |
and if the representatives of that party act
wisely and periodically at Cincinnati, and
nominate men above reproach whose views
find a popular response In the hearts of the |
people throughout the lard, who are ad- |
mired for their broad and statesmanlke |
course on the great issues of the day, who |
have no smell of the electoral commission |
about their garments, and who, if they are
elected. are bold and fearless enough to as
sert their right to the Office; who know no
North. no South, but one |
common country, victory is assured |
and-the party will sweep the country at the |
ides of November next. Garfield and Ar
thur NAV be confessedly weak nomina-
ton but yet they are stronger than Hayes |
and Chester. and will rally the Radical hosts |
to man, and be elected if the Democracy |
are humbugged into the mistake Of nomina- |
ting the hero of "Cypher Alley" or any of
his satellites. With Hancock or Bayard for |
II, rtr M from tho |
Wes for Vice President, the Democracy can |
sweep the country. This is the feeling that
find expression here among the thoughtful |
Democrats. interest was manifested |
in the result of the Chicago conclave. The |
bulletin boards were narrowly watched, and
as the results of each ballot was announced, |
the hopes of the friends of each candidate
correspondingly rose and fell, and many |
practical joke was perpetrated.-
About o'clock last night the piercing cry |
of murder murder awoke the classic pre- |
cincts of Frogtown. Officer, Pither hurried

piercing shrieks, Scarcely had he placed |
these parties under arrest when the same |
cries broke forth in an adjoining house. Has
tenng there he found another irate dame In |
a wordy warfare with her neighbor, MIR.
Alyien Rivers, who caused her arrest. Pither |
marshalled them all into line and brought |
them to the police station, where he preferred
the charge of fighting against Mr. and Mrs.
Donnell, and Mr.. Rivers preferred the
charge against Mrs. Dalton of abusing, IN
sulting and using threatening language to |
him. Ms. Donnell could not see why she
and her husband should be dragged from
their home at night for nothing ut all; that she
