THERE seems to be trouble brewing in the

hence to the New York Herald as follows:

tIon over Senator Blaine and here and In the West

There are really thrd-termers who are indignant that
Mr. Blaine would not volunteer to accept the Vice Pres
idency on the third Ticket II he had done that
they could have nominated the ex-President easily
Mr.. Blaine, the other hand does not conceal from
the hrd-term leaders his opinion that the exPres-
dent ought not to be IenOninnted, and cannot be
elected If he s lie is entirely frank and outspoken
on this subject with them, and tells them that the
project Is bad for the party and pOrten0us

expect To carry the whole OF his party with him, and
they do not believe the e1-Presldent is the man. By
the way Blaine asked here the other day how

Probably nothing has done more to dis
gust Democrats with Mr.. Tilden than the
character of the men Ire has employed for
delicate and confidential service. We saw
at st. Louis, four years ago, men who had not
for months possessed money enough to buy
a dinner making an ostentatious display of
greenbacks, and advocating Tildcn and " Re-
form," on the ground that their candidate
was enormously rich and would put money
enough into the campaign to carry him
through. 1t was bad enough that the ar
gument was degrading, but the most dis
gusting feature was having it come by au-
thority from the mouths of such blatant
idiots. Knowing the vast sums of money
used by the Republicans through their open
assessment of officers, and from the banks
| and great corporations-th allied monopolies
which rely upon that party for protection
there was a feeling of relief, even among
| those who detested Mr.. Tilden's character
and his methods, that for one campaign the
Democracy were not to he so fearfully over
weighted in respect to the sinews of war. But
whether through that lack of sagacity in the
selection of agents which has been so prolific
a source of public disgust the campaign
funds were stolen, or whether the avarice
which had been "the old mans" 2" ruling
passion till late in life made him fear to
spend more than was necessary, certain it is
that in several closely contested States, and
{ especially in Ohio in October, there was a
grievous lack of funds for necessary cam
paign expenses, and votes were thereby los
which would incontestibly have placed the
: election of 1876 beyond doubt.

PROBABLY nothing can so distort mans
views as to get into public Office, and
have all his hopes and fears for the fu-
ture depend upon his prospect Of staying
there. This is illustrated in the utter
ances of Senator George i. Hoar, who
seems to think that the election Of a
Democratic President would utterly ruin the
country, whereas the country has already
survived much worse events. The psyche
logical fact is that Mr.. Hoar mistakes his
personal fortunes for those Of the country.
To show how wildly man may talk under
such impulses, Mr.. Hoar is reported to have
once said to some Democratic Senators:
have been taught TO believe that God is wise and
beneheen. Being. but II has always been apuazle TO
me 10 understand how such Being could permit the

Downtown Merchant,

Having passed several s'eepless nights,
disturbed by the sgonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured supply
for the child. On reaching home and &C.
quainting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor of no.
meopathy. That night the child passed
in ,uffering and the parents without sleep.
Returning home the day following, the
father found the baby worse; and while
contemplating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he
administered portion of the Soothing
Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That
night all hands slept we'll, and the little
fellow awoke in the morning bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with
the sudden and wonderful change, and,
although at first offended at the deception
pracLiced upon her. has continued to use
the Syrup, and suffering, crying babies and
restless nights have disappeared. A single
trial of the Syrup never yet failed to re-
lieve the baby, and overcome the preju.
