Memphis Appeal Dem. J: The advance
guard of the English salvation Army"
has arrived. 1t has come over to attend
the National Republican Convention.
But it is too late. Nothing can save that
crowd.
New York Evening Express (DeIm)
Mr. Tilden wants to know whether he or
the Democratic party must stand out Of
the way. The Democracy will answer
this question to his entire dissatisfaction
presently.
Philadelphia Times (Ind.), One Of
the most solemn difficulties under the
Empire is going to be to find a place
somewhere near the size of Roscoe Conr-
ling. The ordinary glitter and pomp Of
imperialism will not begin to answer his
purpose.
New York Tribune (Rep): The steady
and able manner in.which the Democratic
majority in Congress continues to accum-
ulate campaign ammunition for the Re-
publican party is one Of the most con-
vincing assurances Of the perpetuity OF
the Republic.
Boston Transcript (Rep.G The vote
New York was thrown as virtual unit
in the Republican National Convention
of 1876. But it had small influence upon
the final decision. 1t had less and less
support with every ballot until its can
didate was dropped without the deeency
of withdrawal .tffH
Boston Post (Dem.): Why has not the
Great American Dead Head and Claim
ant thought to lay in with some bowling
Greaser to shoot at him9 A little spice
of martyrdom would give the movement
in his behalf an impetus that would bowl
over all opposition at Chicago.
Richmond State (Dem.): There is no
fight in Tilden. He is very good holi-
day soldier, a fine militia general; but
when war threatens or the time comes
for action, he prefers to be at a safe dis.
tance and in a private station. Lie
should, therefore, mo more be officer os
ours"
St. Louis Post Dispatch (Dem.): The
loyal brigadiers are tearing up the grav-
ell about the Fitz John Porter case in or
der to stifen up the Grant boom and re
vive the war recollections. They have
almost drowhed with their believing
the small voice of the whisky ring-the
} Kissing Of the sour-mash still, so to speak.
Dayton Democrat (Dem.): The Re-
publican scheme for capturing Indiana
by coionizing the State with Southern
negroes has proved disastrous failure
to its inventors, and has damaged the
party irretrievably. 1t was the most
bungling attempt to steal State that
has ever been tried by the light-fngered
J and burglarous party of the great moral
ideas.
Baltimore Gazette (Dem.): Mr.. Wash
burne, though protesting not to be
candidate, is keeping his weather eye re-
markably wide open. He says that
: Grant is his first, last and only choice,
! an exhibition of disinterested devotion
which means that when the Empire
comes in he wants to rise with it to the
, surface and then expects to be one Of the
, fr4 lords of the land Washburne, like
joey Bagstock, is "sly dcvihsh slyP
: New Orleans Democrat (Dem.); The
Iowa Legislature is taking steps to sub
init to the people Of thatState an amend
.
ment striking the word "white' from the
section of the constitution prescribing
the qualification Of the legislators.
Kansas, "the promised Elnd of the ne-
groes," still clinqs to this word, and re-
fuses peremptorily in its constitution TO
allow a negro to become a member Of
the Legislature, being in this respect
more than twelve years behind every
Southern State.
