There is a proposition on foot to
pension Gen. GRANT, and the Cincin-
natl Enquirer favors it. To perfect
the business why not declare him
Emperor? Gen. Grant was the best
paid President America ever had.
He was the first President to receive
$4,000 per year-he had beneficent
gifts bestowed upon him while Pre-
sident. from a magnificent residence
down to a pair Of bull pups-he had
a black Friday-he was connected
with the Whisky Ring speculations,
and if he is still poor, as the Enqui
rer claims, where is the charity in
pensioning him upon the people? Is
he greater than the Father of his
Country? Than the immortal
author of the Declaration of hide
pendence? Than the hero of the
battle of New Orleans? Than Mon
roe, Madison, and the long list OF
patriots and statesmen who preceded
him and served their country hon,
orably and well, and died poori
What does all this palaver and
toadyism over GRANT mean?

The Democracy have given their
candidate for President a majority
of over 100, 900 of the popular vote,
carried one half the States in the
Union, retained one half at least of
the Senate, and came within the vote
of n State of electing the Presi-

Brudder Jasr er may 60 astray in his

The Rev. Brudder Jasper stood on the

The small Democratic majorities
given in Louisiana, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Florida, and other
Southern States, would indicate that
"bull-dozing" and intimidation" of
voters was not carried on very ex-
tensively down South. That cam
paign lie win have to be abandoned
in the next political contest of
this country.

a Queer Notion.

Many people think it cheaper to buy
% cent sizes of a proprietary medicine.
But they make a mistake. For instance,
DR.. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry
contains about eight times the quantity
of ordinary 20 cent cough balsams. Be-
sides it takes a less quantity of Wistar's
Balsam to cure a cold. a single dose
is often sufficient. For deep seated
Colds and Consumption it has proven
itself to be the best and quickest cure
ever discovered. For sale by

Gen. GARFIELD held the office OF
Congressman, U. S. Senator and
President elect, all at the same time.
Congressman was his reward for the
salary grab; United State Senator
for his Credit Mobilier bribery, and

herd have still a chance in the Re.
publican party, if they will only

If a pnblic officer steals the public
funds and IS detected, all he has to

man steals a horse, even though he
offers to return the property.

There is not a shadow of doubt
but that there were more illegal
votes cast in New York than the
Republican majority foots up, and
that is the reason why the leaders of

the vote was an honest one they
would not whine SO about looking
into its correctness.

The "gnsh" that some Of the daily

how he gets up-when he eats his
breakfast, and when he dimes and

turns-when he goes to church and
when he don't-and much more stuff
of the same kind, is certainly very

General Garfield will be President

General Garfield will be President
in a country beside which the United
States of1S61 was as an infant com
pared to a grown man. 1 believe
he has the breadth of mind to see
the difference and the patriotism and
firmness of purpose to seize the great
opportunity to benefit the country
and to give himself a standing in
history second to that of no man who
has occupied, OF ever will occupy the
Presidential chair.
Lately, much has been said, and
much has been written to Secretary
of the Navy Thompson, and to Mr.
Hayes and to Congressman about an
increase in the Navy. The letters
may come from persons interested ii
one way or other in ship-building Oh
persons who honestly and unselfishly
believe we need more vessels for the
defense Of the country. Measures
looking to the relief, not only o

to own ships, will have hearty sup
port from both parties during thu
