step towards electing any other candidate

THE New York Sun says: II John Kelly
divides the Democratic party in this state

opposition to Tilden and Tildenism in this

Cipher Alley is utterly vanquished."

the last ten years so many friends or so few
enemies in the Republican party as now
PITTSBURGH Gasstte "Grant is pre-em.
nently strong man and has never yet been

cowardy enough to see others do 1t with
impunity."
ATLANTA Constitution Democratic) ain
regard to the national campaign, we are
frank to say that General Grant is the only
man for whom the colored people will vote
with anything like unanimity."
CHICAGO Journal: at matters but little

ST. LOUIS Republican (Democratic) Gov

of women by appointing Sarah A. Carpenter
member of the state board of charities"
DR.. McCosu: "If every voter in the
United States could read and write, our
free people and form Of government would
stand without peril. Compel them to do 80,
and then hand the ballot to white, black
and red men,"
NEW York Tribune: The fusionists are
said to be very much depressed by the de-
cision of the supreme court. This is natural.
A. mosquito would be depressed for ex-
ample, if a trip-hammer should settle down
upon him suddenly
New York Sun (Democratic) aft any
body can tell us where. in the present de-
plorable condition of things, ray of sun

chanau was mistress of the White House,
and who is now the wife of Robert johnson,
a wealthy banker of Baltimore, has recently
purchased Wheatlands the place where her
uncle was born, in Pennsylvania, and will
erect memorial worthy of him.
PHILADELPHIA Press: "Senator Blaine
showed himself abundanty able to deal
with Democratic mob in Maine, and If, as
president of the United States, he should
be called upon to suppress and disperse
similar manifestation of rebellion or tur-
bulence by that party in the nation, he
would not be found wanting"
DELAWARE Republican The people are
alarmed at the attitude of the solid SOUTH
at the action of the Democratic thieves in
Maine and at the attempts at revolution
made by mocratic congress. We see
them following in great masses, quietly, but
we believe earnestly. We have faith in the
people. They are generally right"
LOUISVILLE Journal: General Grant will
have been for four years private citizen
when President Hayes steps out, with no
more power or influence than any other
prominent man, excepting as his hold upon
the affections of the people for past services
gives to him. His nomination, if it comes
at all, will come from the people, and not
the politicians"
News from the Montreal Gazette: "Mr
Blaine will be backed by the Maine delega-
ton to the national convention, Mr.. Conk
ling by New York, Mr. Sherman by Ohio,
and General Grant by Philadelphia or some
| other northern state, and in order to pacify
these several candidates an outsider of no
special ability or prominence will possibly
have to be resorted to-"
DETROIT Tribune: "Whoever is nomi-
mated by the Republicans we earnestly hope
will be Enthusiastically strong man in just
the same sense as General Grant is a strong
mana man who can be implicitly depended
| upon to execute the laws, to defend the con.
stitution, and to deal coolly, courageously
and effectually with all the enemies of our
1
American institutions"
| WASHINGTON Post: ain the intense 20.
litical excitement that will be raging next
fall there will be no third party. By that
time the Greenbackers will have forgotten
their temporary struggle, which had its in
ception in the financial distress of the coun-
try, and will have taken sides, according to
their varying sympathies, with one OR the
other of the two great parties

Cleveland as his headquarters, and Blaine's

SPRINGFIELD Republican; "The old sol
diers of both causes are about equally rep
resented in congress, there being sixty
seven Uaion men and sixty-one confeder
ates. The blue scores twelve generals
eighteen colonies and thirty seven of Other
grades; the gray, seventeen generals, twenty
two colonies and twenty-five of other grades
the honors being thus singularly even."
New YORK World: Whether the bolt
ing strength of Mr.. Kelly and his allies
this year proves to be little greater thar
the boiling strength of Mr.. Kelly and por
ton Of his allies last year or a little less, il
is certain that it will be great enough t.
