why Grant Cannot be Elected

1t is not the long heads of the Re-
publican party who are working to
nominate Grant for q third term 1t
is the short sighted light weights
who are engine ering the Grant enter
prise.
A look at the facts demonstrates this.
No sober man believes that Grant could
get even one of the l3S electoral votes
of the Southern States. The time is
coming when the Southern vote will
be divided among different political
parties; but this will not be the case at
the next election. In that contest a
Democratic candidate who can unite
the full strength of his party is abso-
lutely sure of receiving these 1876 South
ern votes.
The hope Of success for the Republi-
cans in the next y"ar's campaign,
therefore. rests wholly in the Northern
States. Those States give 231 electoral
votes. The majority which is neces-
sary to elect a President is 1856. 1t
will be seen that the Northern States
forty-six more than this number
Hence, the Republican nominee for
President might lose forty-six votes
in the Northern States and still he
elected.
Now, let the Grant managers look
at the figures. New York gives thir-
ty-ffve votes, Ohio twenty-five, Wis
consin ten, making a total Of sixty
seven. Grant could not carry either of
those States against Democratic
nominee upon whom the party was
united. In New York Grant would
run no better than Cornell at the re-
cent election. If the Democracy had
been united on their candidate for Gov
ernor. Cornell would have been beaten
by a plurality of $4,000.
For dozen years past the Germans
have decided every contested election
in Ohio. The German vote in that
State is larger than it is in any other
State in the Union. At the West
every body accepts the apothegm,
LAS goes the Germans. SO goes
The Germans everywhere are inflexi-
bly, hostile to the third term project.
They see in it the'shadow Of the En-
pire. If Grant is the candidate next
year, the German Republicans will
take from him the twenty-five votes of
Ohio. 4
Substantially the same is true of
Wisconsin. The Republicans of that
State have always been indebted to its
heavy German vote for their victories.
With a Democratic nominee upon
whom all factions Of the party were
cordially combined, and with Grant
as the Republican candidate, the
Germans would throw the ten votes
Of Wisconsin into the Democratic
scale. E
In the light of these facts and fig
ures, the sober majority of the Repub-
lican party ought TO rise up and crush
the third term movement before 1t
brushes tllem.-N. Y. Sun. a.

The Enemy,s Camp..

The Presidential campaign ID fairly
opened-in the Republican camp. The
first struggle 10 to be for control Of the
State conventions, which appoint the
delegates to the national nominating
convention at Chicago. In fact, the
State conventions may do the whole
business, leaving the Chicago eonven-
ton nothing but the duty of ratifying
their action. 1t has got to be consider
ed that the Grant movement will he
favored by an early holding Of the
State conventions, and therefore Sena-
tor Cameron, of Pennsylvania, ::has man
aged to have the convention OF that
State fixed fDr February IA rema-ka-
bly, early time for beginning the fight.
Pennsylvania is the next largest State
in the Union, and it is estimated that
when it names positiveiy-pledged
Grant delegation in February, its
weighty influence will be felt through
out the Union. 1t is stated that Sena-
tor Conkling is preparing to have the
New York convention assemble in
February, also, and for similar pur-
pose. If New York, following Penn
sylvania, shall appoint Grant delega-
ton, as is confidently expected, the
potential united voicts Of these two
great States cannot but have a great
deal to do with the initiative Republi-
cans in the small States. Then it is
asserted that efforts are being made to
bring Illinois and Indiana into the
February movement, too. Illinois is
certainly for Grant, and Indiana prob
ably is; and the schemers calculate that
if these four powerful States, sending
fnn lHn u foo fn
conventions, shall name them in Feb
ruary and pledge them to the support
of the ex-President, the battle will be
as good as won; Grants nomination
will be virtually assured and there
will remain nothing to he done but
elect him. tae
But this indecent rushing Of matters
is holly resented by the partisans of
Sherman and Blaine and that large
class of Republicans who, without any
particular candidate Of their own, are
inflexibly hostile to the innovation of
q third term, and to a restoration Of the
Grant personal policy of 1875-and it is
pretty certain there will be a good deal
of angry feeling engelraered and some
loud quarrelling indulged in. In the
Democratic camp perfect quiet reigns.
The Presidential election is ten months
off, and it is considered a foolish waste
Of passion and mischief to the coun-
try to precipitate the campaign at this
early day. The Democrats will prOba-
bly, content themselves with an ex-
pectant attitude for the present. They
will watch the fight in the enemy's
camp for two or three months before
they set about the serious work of
organizing for action.-.St. Louis Re

"Kentucky's UNPUBLISHED Murder
ers" is the taking headline common.
ly placed above the following item
by our esteemed Republican contem.
poraries, which are giving it wide
circulation:
"Since 1870 there have been over 100
persons killed in Christian county, and
but one Of the slayers, Bill Downey, a
negro, has been sent to the penitentiary
or otherwise punished. Truly, Chris
tian is one of the bloodiest spots on the
dark and bloody ground What she
needs is q few first-class hangings.
There have been nine men killed in
the county since the LIST of August,
and not one of the murtierers is in
jail"
This Is, indeed, a melancholy exhibit
for q county. bearing such name! But
when we reflect that Christian county
last year gave Evans, Republican, 636
over Blackburn, Democrat. for Gov
ernor; that Christian county in 1876
gave Hayes n majority of $50 over Til
den; that in 1875, for Governor. it went
Republican by 2O7, and in 1872 it gave
Grant go majority over Greeley-in
fine, when we reflect that Christian
county gave the Republican nominee
for Governor of Kentucky last year a
larger. majority than he received in
any other single county in the State,
and therefore is entitled to be called the
banner Republican county OF Ken
lucky let Sunaat Cnx or some other
valuable Democrat be hanged II we can
see why Republican papers should go
to the trouble of dilating upon the law
lessness Of Christian county. 1t is an
i'll Republican contemporary which

A few years ago the Western farmers
went wild over Grangerism. G anges
were organized by the thousand. and
showed such strength and influence as
ogreatIy alarm the railroads and pol
iticians. But Grangerism has declined
as rapidly as it rose. In Iowa, in 1872,
there were 200 oranges, with a MEM
bership of 49, 900; to-day there are only
200 oranges, with a membership Of s.
600. The explanation is easy-too
much politics. The oranges fell into
the hands of office-seekers, who divert
ed them from their original purpose
and soon Disguised the farmers with
them.

During the past year there was a gen.
eral renewal of railroad building
throughout the country. No less than
373S miles were laid, more than any
year since 1873. Kansas leads the list
with 49S miles; Minnesota is second,
and then come Dakota and Ohio. OF
Southern States, Texas has by far the
best record. Louisiana is credited with
only 65 miles of broad-gauge road.

Says the Globe Democdt, in view of
the recent decision of the Maine su-
preme court upon the questions sub
mitted to it by Gov. Garcelon:
We feel quite confident that the Fu-
ionists will gracefully accept the inev-
itab.e, and retire from the false posi-
ton in which they have been placed by
the scheme to steal the State, and that
the Republicans will be peacably per-
United to organize the Legislature.
Then the GID. has more faith in the
desire Of the Fusionists to be right, than
any one could have in the same num-
Der of Republicans One of the latter
class never gives up anything which it
is possible for him to steal. Four years
ago, even the CD. admitted, the day
after the election, that Tilden had been
chosen President of the United States.
But lack Chandler and other noted
Radical conspirators, with Grant to
back them, set to work and stole two
States from the people. The supreme
court of Florida-One of the stolen
states rendered decision as fatal to
Republicans as the recent decision is to
Fuslonists. Did the Republicans ire
tire from the false position" in which
they had been placed by the conspira-
tors? Not if we know it. On the con-
trary, they held fast to the stolen prop
erty, defrauding not only the people Of
Florida, but the whole nation.

Moody and Sankey have been labor
ing for more than month in st. Lou
is, but without their customary sue
cess. The meetings have been crowd
ed, but emotion has been SARGE and
conversions few. The local newspa-
pers have printed full reports, and the
clergy Of the city have generally coun-
tenanced the movement, but the result
is unsatisfactory to the evangelists.
Everybody acknowledges that Mr..
Sankey has a cultivated voice." says
the st. Louis Republican THAT his in
donations are perfection in themselves,
and that in his rendition of old hymns
he brings out hidden beauties, the ex-
istence of which were not dreamed Of.
All who have heard Mr.. Moody-and
their number is legion-are unanimous
in their expressions of admiration for
his abilities as an exhorter; yet men
and women listen without the least ap-
parent emotion. The listeners seem to
hang upon every word, yet the general
feeling seems to be one of curiosity rath-
er than earnestness. Their thoughts
seem to be centred in the man, in watch
ing the play Of his features, and his We
hement gesticulations, rather than
weighing the words as they fall from
his lips. They seem unable to divest
themselves of tn. idea that that there
is nothing personal in his illusions"
Brother Moody has become discour-
aged, and in a recent meeting declared
that he was "sick and tired of this care
lessness as to salvation"

The Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad
is showing itself more than a heartless
corporation in the course it is pursuing
in case brought against it by the wild
ow OF deceased employe. In recent
collision on that road the fireman jump
ed from the engine and escaped UNI
hurt, but the engineer stood ut his
post, facing death, and was killed.
The family of the engineer sued the
company for compensation for his loss,
which was refused on the ground that
the engineer lost his life by neglecting
to fol low the example Of the fireman
and jumping from the train. The court
properly characterized this plea as inn
pudent and rebuked the officials who
had set it up as they deserved. II was
a direct invitation to all the employees
of the road to neglect their duties. and
threatened them with punishment if
they did not.
