So rapidly have contributions for the
Constellation Irish relief cargo been re-
ceiyed, in New York, that already, the
ships capacity is nearly supplied. This
augurs we'll for the liberality of American
citizens to their suffering neighbors on the

the Constellation Is nearly supplied. it
should not deter the further sending of
aid-let contributions be continued and if
necessary dozen cargoes be sent to

The attempt of the Grant managers to
manufacture partisan capital. by endeav-
oring to have it appear that the same old
spirit of rebellion exists at the south as
during the war, will fall fat. It is too
thin for even unfedged partisaus TO en-
thuse over. AS sample of the desperate
straits of the Grant men the dispatch
from Houston, Texas. that the cannon
intended to be used in firing the salute
were spiked. affords q fine example of
what the managers will do to get up an
enthusiasm. 1t won't work, however, as
the trick is too transparent. The Grant
managers will have to look about for fresh
material and more ingenious means of
forwarding the ex- presidents boom-sucL
stale war jokes won't go down.

electors and delegates in violation of the

crowded out. AS the contesting delega-
tion will be Grant men, and as the Chicago
convention will be largely in that gentle
mans interest, the chances are good for
the contestants beingE recognized as the

If the Dem ocrats of Illinois expect to
carry the state they must organize. IF,
instead Of wasting time trying to fix up
combinations with third parties, thor
ough organization is effected all over the
state, the Democratic party can succeed.
But if the same old zig-zag campaign is
made, success is out of the question. Or
ganiza as Democratic party and. ON DEM
ocratic principles and the victory will be
made assured. Otherwise it>Tere folly to

The only stock in trade Of the Republic

The only stock in trade of the Republi-

Sherman, who has been classed as free
from this style Of argument, now joins the
ranks Of the extreme stalwarts. and 10 a
speech, at Mansfield, Ohio. said that the
coming campaign is to be fought on the

war cry must be sounded in order to
rouse the people to sense Of their dan

slightest necessity for a strong government

he wilfully misrepresents. when he asserts
that danger is threatened from the Dem
ocracy. The only real danger which
threatens to undermine the country, break
down the freedom of its institutions and
build barrier bstwean the executive and
the people, is a further continuation Of
Republican RI lie. From one extreme to
another the Republican party has drifted,
until now the managers seek to
so widen the breach between the
people and the executive. that should
Grant, Blaine or Sherman be elected, the
strong government would be but an
empire, lacking but the name to give the
head ruler a crown Ridicule this as they
may-deny it if they will the stalwarts
cannot disprove the facts as they exist
The last reign of Grant was the most dis
graceful this country has ever witnessed :
and the people will be slow to elevate to
the executive chair. a man like Grant to
inaugurate a reign of plumber aud cor
ruptiou,or Sherman or Blaine to WELD
the authority of crowned autocrat. The
only relief offered the people, the only
way out of their difficulties -the pathway
to peace and prosperity, and good will
among all sections-is return of the
Democracy to power. This is as sure to
occur as that March 4th 1881. will arrive.
