The Tyler Courier insists that the
Dallas Herald has demolished the fence
about its political field when it admits
that the opposition to Governor Rob-

And now it transplres that the reason
Gov. st. John of Kansas is SO much in
favor of the negro exodus to Kansas, is
because the white immigration to that
state is largely anti-Republican. In other
words, Governor st. John and the Repub-
licans Of Kansas want it distinctly under
stood that none but Republicans are
wanted in that state; that political success
is of more Importance than commercial
prosperity. The secret history of this ex-
odus is gradually but surely coming to the
surface, and as the inside chapters are
written, the charge SO often made that it
was Republican electioneering trick is
being firmly established. Suppose these
negroes should vote the Democratic ticket,
how long would they have the sympathy
Of Republican congressman and politicians ?
We reckon.our stalwart organs will be
slow to answer the question.

The bitterness of the contest between
Grant and Blaine factions of the Republi
can party is growing in intensity, and must
eveDtuate in disappointment to one or the
other when the Chicago convention shall
have closed its labors. That the outcome
will be lukewarmness On the losing side,
is almost certain. The better informed
Republican journals do not hesitate TO
predict such result, and we'll posted poll
tIcians of the partisan stripe openly assert
it. The true situation cannot be told until
the candidates are known. but that !Gen-
eral Grant will not receive the solid vote
OF his party, is beyond cavil-it is an as
sured fact. The men who oppose him are
not in the habit of INDUCING in chlld's
play and will hesitate ct nothing TO accom-
plish the defeat of the ambitious ex-presi-
dent and his third term project. TIE
party lash is potent, it is true, and parti-
cularly SO in the Republican perty, most
of the members of which vote blipdly for
party men, regardless of the fitness, honesty
or integrity of the nominees, but there are
some, however. in the Republican party
who are inspired by higher aims and no.
bier purposes than mere partisanship. who
will not submit to violation of the IN
written law, as established by the presid
ents from the first to the last These
men regard the coun,ry's good as para
to all other considerations. and under no
circumstances will they bow TO the party
lash. 1t would be foolish to suppose that
Grant can succeed without thoroughly
harmonious party support-it is simply
impossible, and though the managers of
the third term scheme may, and undoubt-
eddy will succeed in nominating Grant at
Chicago, his election is beyond the range
of possibilities.
