GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.


malignity, seizes upon the Mississippi demo-
cratic convention, Just adjourned, and tho
platform enuncsted by it, as text for its
abuse of the people of that state, and for the
retailing Of some Of its malicious ISLANDERS.
There is no doubt but that q republican
committee of congress will report all man.
ner of outrsgss in Mississippi, If it have an
opportunity to do so, and the Globe Demo-
crat might as well 60 to work and prepare
and publish report beforehand for ".
Such areport would be just as reliable, just
assshonest as any such committee can or
will report The Globe,Democrat can res'
assured that the south will always be solid
against the republicsnism of its advocacy,
because the sopth will always be solid in ia
vor of honor aud decency and the Globe
Democrat can never comprehend or appreci'
ate such sentiments. Tao Globe,Dsmocrat
says;
The Democrats of Mississippi have held
their convention and nominated their stste
ticket, but they are not in happy frame OF
mind about it. The bitter feelings engen.
dered open fair prospect for the defeat of
their party. Bafksdse is opposed to the
reelection of Lamar to the Senate, end tho
contest is between tue friends of the two
men. Although Barksdale withdrew from
the race for the goVoruorsbip, his next friend
was nominated, fact which is considered
sufficient to ALLEVIATE many votes.
There is good chance here for
the opposition to 60 in and
win, thereby seconding the work go we'll
begun in Virginia and Tennessee in the way
OF proving tho "solid south" TO be a thing of
she past. The platform adopted by tho
convention is remarkably virtuous. 1t is
substantially the same as that of two years
ago, but the humor oft continues as fresh
as ever. 1t guarantees The protection Of the
equal rights of all, permitting no discrimina-
ton on account of race or color or previous
conditions of servitude. 1t is rather unfor-
tunate that the congressional committee,
which will be called upon to investigate
some of the Mississippi elections of last fall
will not be able to get In It's work before the
date Of election. 1t could furnish rome stri-
king commentaries on this plank of the
platform. AS it is, however, there will be
no lack of information published. II the
democrats live up to the spirit of their plat
form they certainly will lose the state
There are so many ,unfortunates rashly
importunsts in these latter days that the
public has we'll nigh become indifferent to
the report OF suicide. What fearful
thoughts wrack the brain.of the miserable
sslf-destroyer, only one who has experienced
Them can appreciate. A wasted life, dieap-
pointed hopes-lbere are hundreds Of things
impelling the man of sensitive feelings to
"by opposing end them" The New York
Evening Express referring 10 a recent case
of self destruction says;
The tragic suicide of Henry Q. Won
Hulds, related in the Express yesterday, was
mourntul instance of the desperation that
may be engendered by disappointment
and despair. In this instance the victim had
been swiudled Of his pstrimony, and had
come TO this country to endeavor TO earn
money enough to enable him to fight for it.
I'll luck seemed TO attend him, and tinally,
in utter despair, he took his life. or course
death by suicide is, to certain extent,
cowardly, but there are men struggling and
toiling in the city every day with no hope
or prospect of Advancement, who certainly
show courage in resisting the strong tempta-
ton 10 take the life that appears so worth-
less. Poor Won Hulda was moi equal to the
contest, snd succumbed TO destiny.
If the Chicago Inter. Ocean Office is blown
up and scattered to "the demnitiOn bow
vows" any time shortly, you may know that
Grove did it. The Inter,Ocean goes for
Grove and it 10 not an unnatural inference
that Grove will return the compliment. The
Inter 0,ean says of this blacklist OF all the
crows, unless his own statements DO but idle
cawiug, as follows:
Grove, of Peoria, is in town. Grove, of
Peoria, Ia made much of; that is, no is obs
served, interviewed, ard his movements care
fully cbronicled. What has Grove, of
Peoria, done? Only this, If his own story is
to be believed: He has constructed num-
Der of Internal machines, shipped them on
passenger steamer loaded with innocent men,
women and children, with the brave and pa
triotic purpose Of blowing up said steamer in
mid-oeaan and throwing hundred house,
holds into mourpng. Unless Grove is a
falsiher no is monster, who ought to be
blown up by one of his own machines.
But, instead of that, he is ps!!ering around
Chicsgo, yawpng about patriotism, and
playing the hero. Just why he Is allowed to
do this, instead of being confined in Il
straight Jacket, wo ar, Ut Il loss to imagine,
bu. oil the same he is here, and amoderate
number of people cape at him and say, |
"Thaps Crowt Grove, of PEORIA Internal
machine manp There we're number OF
Chicsgo people on the steamer that took out |
Groves machines, and il he had possessed %
much sense rs cruel coward ice, and his traps |
had exploded, there would doubtless be a |
number of parties here interviewing him out
of something more than mere curiosity.
Grove better return to Peoris. Chicago can
live without him.
II Is q blessed fact that murder will out
aud II trsnspires now that what vast hum-
Der of people have believed for long time
has been demonstrated to be true-that the
president has never been hurt much. A few
physicians who have hung about his bedside
for for,y-two days, no doubt seeking to
make capital for themselves and cheap no.

time misrepresented the case, or else being
lamentably ignorant as surgeons they have
