will amount to astonishingly little under
a Grant administration, and no one
knows it better than the Senator from
Maine.
Harrisburg Patriot (Dem.): The Blaine
boom has gained some momentum lately
in Illinois and Ohio. 1t would be funny
thing if Cameron and Conkling would
yet be obliged to eat crow.
New York Tribune (Rep): Why did
Tilden pick out Syracuse for his State
Convention, when it is the stronghold Of
the Canal Ring, and its only Democratic
newspaper is against himf
Ohio State Journal (Rep.): After the
nomination of Tilden, Uncle Dick has
but one competitor for the second place
on the ticket which he need fear, and
that man is Joseph E. Mcdonald, of
Indiana.
Dayton Democrat (Dem.): Senator
Thurman will perform the duties of Vice
President during the remainder of the
Congressional session, but William Almon
Wheeler will continue to draw the salary
all the same.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): From
the performance of the mob at Shelby
vile, Ind, on election day it looks as if
the Hoosier State might very appropri-
ately ask for Grant, and put in some big
licks to get him, too.
Indianapolis News (Ind.): Sherman
is the only man in the "race" for the Re
publican Presidential nomination whose
candidature could be an aggressive one.
Under Blaine or Grant it would have to
be defensive from the start.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
There is no "rebel element" in control in
the South or anywhere in the United
States, unless it is the Republican party.
which has revolted against the Constitu-
tion and is working day and night to
destroy every vestige Of Republican
form of government.
Chicago Daily News Ind.): Whether
Washburn does or does not defeat Don
nelly, the cost of the fight for both the
winner and the defeated will, if prece.
dents be followed, be paid out Of the
National Treasury. In these contested
election cases the people pay that the
contestants may dance. .Y.
Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.): Those who
charge Mr.. Tilden with pusillanimity ir
1876 are Of three kinds, namely: A very
few sincere but errat!c persons; second
a number of scheming hypocrites, and
lastly, a considerable number of we'll
meaning but ignorant persons, who are
played upon by the scheming hypocrites
New York Evening Express Dem.
Under Grants administration the Repub.
lican party lost the House of Represents
tives and its hold on fourteen States, but
then, by his assistance, it succeeded in
stealing the Presidency-a service which
offsets his deplorable failure in other
respects, and entities him to its lifelong
gratitude and the Presidency.
Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.): 1t il
really very amusing to read all the tall
about Democratic aspirants for the Pres
idential nomination, aud yet it is al
we'll enough. A certain amount of tall
is required-it is indispensable. Tht
Democratic party is simply required tt
organize thoroughly--to get rid of fac
tions and solidity. This done, and vic
tory is certain. .H..
Columbus (Ga.) Inquirer-Sun: By
Haunting their crimson dyes the Repub
licans hope to be retained in power, ant
by means Of it the third termers hope t.
succeed, and put their favorite in tn,
White-house. The red is the hue which
has created the strife and bitterness, ant
General Grant is the apostle of those VIII,
uphold it most The necessity for
strong government with Grant at it
head is the first article of faith with tn
followers of the bloody color.
Saint Louis Globe Democrat (Grant)
We are told by the anti-Grant organ
that no man should be nominated a
Chicago by the votes Of Democrati
States. Very we'll. Then let Mr.. Blain
get 1923 instructed Republican votes L
make up for New York and Pennsyl
vania, and then he will be even wit
Grant as to States which are necessar
to his election. At present Mr.. Blain
has precisely ten instructed votes outsid
of his own State, and Of these four right
fully belong to Grant. -.
Providence, R. l., Star (Rep.): Secrt
tary Sherman's subordinate, Geners
Raum, Commissioner Of Internal Revt
nue., is filling such Offices as internal Re,
enue Store Keepers with men who wi
work for Grants nomination. This doe
not look as if Sherman was coercing hi
subordinates in the interests Of his owl
nomination for President. Green
Raum the Commissioner, or "Green Ba
Rum" as he is sometimes called, is on
of the leading temperance men Of th
, West and personal friend Of Gener,
!, Grant. .... ..-.. ,t..
