THE first cry of the democrats was, on
the announcement of the result of the
Chicago convention, that the republican
ticket is q weak one. After looking the
ground carefully over they begin to change
their mind on that point. 1t occurs to them
now that ticket which consolidates and
inspires its party is not so weak after all.

THE Wheeling IRteliigeacer, whose editor
voted in the Chicago convention that he
would not support the nominee of that
body, and when mirror was held up to his
vision so that he could see his real attitude,
declared verbally to the convention that he
would abide by its decision, and thus es-
capped imminent expulsion from it's mem
bership, has since been larding its columns
with insolent messages, Of which the fol =
lowing is Il specimen:
REPORTERS STAGE, June s.
DEAR Mr.. CAMPBELL: Good foryou Ask CoSK-
LING If he gave cordial support to HAYES? He
pretended sickness; but you remember the case
Cordially yours. IL. V BoYNToS.
1t may not be out of place here TO re-
mark that we are fully assured that Senator
Cox KINGS illness during the canvass of
1876 was not pretended" as is alleged by
General BoYNToN, who in all probability
would never have made the allegation if he
had supposed that his message would have
met other eyes than those of Mr.. CAMPBELL.
If we held feeling of implacable hatred
toward the utterer of this message we could
not wish him worse punishment than
that he might suffer what Senator CoNK-
LING suffered during that period of "pre-
" ten ded dillness"-an incarceration in dark
room for weeks if not months, under treat
ment for impending blindness, which
sapped his strength and constitution, and
subjected him to peremptory injunction
on the part Of his physician that he should
abstain entirely from mental effort and ex-
citement He made one or two speeches
during that campaign, and they were in
violation of medical advice and at theperil
of his vision, if not Of his life. In view Of
these facts there is no excuse for these un-
feelng-yea, nhuman-assaults upon Sena-
tor CoNKLING at this time in the interest
Of petty personal spite.

THE story that has been put anoat in
effect that when General GRANT first re-
turned from abroad Secretary EyARTs and
President HAYES seriously considered the
proprety of rendering him the position of
ambassador to China, to dispose of the
yexed questions pending, and to revise the
treaty stipulatons between the United
States and that ancient empire, and that
his candidacy for the presidency prevented
their making the o1er is probably tho
merest bosh imaginable. There is no evil
dence Of any such kindly purpose on the
part Of the administration toward General
GRANT, otherwise it would have been
known when he returned. 1t is mere in,

Virginia Politics.

The Republican State Central Com
msttee of Virginia, of which Gen.
Wickham is chairman, has issued an
address to the memb ers of that party
in the State rebuking the attempt in
the last campaign at fusion with the
Mahoneites, and insisting that no
such futile dalliance" shall be in
dulged in the future. A straight
ticket and squarely contested issue
are regarded as the proper policy to
be pursued. On the other hand Judge
r. w. Hughes and DR.. George K.
Gilmer have each written letters to
the Valley Virginia in opposition to
the policy of an Independent Repub-
lican campaign. Judge Hughes says
that he did not approve the idea of
Republicans voting for Hancock cleo
tors. but that he thought no Repub-
lican candidates should have been
nominated for Congress, the support
of that party being given to the re.
adjuster nominees, for the reason that
their organization had "taken a
strong stand for free vote, an honest
count of ballots and a fair certifica-
ton Of results-things which had
been strange in Virginia for years
past" Judge Hughes is opposed to
having the colored vote of Virginia
cast as solid unit. That will only
serve to perpetrate the color line an i
ssctionalism. The debt question, he
says, is not national but a State
matter. 1t concerns only Virginians,
and should not be mixed up with
other and irrelevant issues. He
favors prompt and equitable settle
ment, but thinks that it will not be
facilitated by Independent RepubIi-
can action. Judge Hughes's letter
was written before the publication of
Gen. Wickham's address. DIR. Gill

risen to check this power, and, wheth.
er in the right or in the wrong, the
leaders have been taught, by the
wonderful results of the November
election, that the ballot in America

Gen. Garfield's popularity, and as
serts that the Republican party had
a heavier load to carry in him than
in any other presidential candidate

The Fraud Cry in New York.

The official returns of the State OF
New York for the recent election
have been made up, and even SUI
perficial examination of them demon
strates, first. the wonderful political
revolution that has taken place
second, the utter al suYdity of the
Democrats cry of fraud. The total
vote was l.l04 ,020, of which all bat
1866 were cast by the two great
parties. All these scattering votes
might have been given to the Demo-
cratic electors, and still the Republi
cans would have had majority and
the contest, therefore, dwindlss
down to a struggle between these
two parties. 1t is also found that in
only fourteen of the sixty counties of
the State the votes cast exceeded the
number Of legal voters according to
the census of 1875. and the greatest
excess in any county is only few
hundred. In fact, in the State there
were 81, 442 less votes cast than there
were legal voters in 1875. This of
itself must completely destroy the
charge of stuffing the ballot boxes,
repeating. &C., which was so hastily
sprung upon the country by the de-
feated partlsans; but if further evils
dence is needed, it is readily found
in the advance sheets of the present
census. These show that the popu-
lation of New York State has in
creased about 104 per cent. in the past
four years, while to offset this the
vote has only increased S.73 per cent.
The change in the public mind is
evidenced by the gains of the two
parties, which were: Republicans
66,337, or 13 6 per cent. Democrats
1862, or "a per cent; also by the
fact that the Democrats carried only
thirteen out of the sixty counties,
and had gains-all very small-in
but twentysix. The returns also
show that the main strength of the
Democrats, outside of New York and
Kings county, which cast "a per
cent. of the whole vote of the party,
is in the ten Hudson river counties,
and even in these they had major
ity of only 1854 votes, against S,6Ol in
1876. With these figures staring
them in the face, prepared and sworn
to by men whose integrity cannot be
impeached, it is more than possible
that we have heard the last of inves.
legations and bringing the New York
election before Congress but even if
the leaders should persevere in their
suicidal attempt to reverse the will
of the people, there need not be the
least apprehension that their efforts
will meet with success. The cause
savers too much of a forlern hope !;
and the better element not only of
the party throughout the land, but
OF the representatives in Congress,
would oppose the scheme, and the
projectors would only find themsel-
YES in still more uncomfortable
position than at present, with the
footings of the long columns showing
disastrous losses in all their strong
holds, and Republican gains in all
sections of the State.
