IT may be that the revolt of party
newspaper does not insure the defeat Of
the party nominees, but it is to be noted
that much of the talent of the stalwart
press is being devoted just now to an
effort to counteract the effect of the as

Republican journals. Fight it out
gentlemen, if it take all summer.

Vicksburg Post,]
The fact that THE CLARION last week,
the day the State Convention met, opposed
Mr.. Tilden's candidacy, is matter Tor re-
;oiciug. 1t was not good sign to see the
nress Of the State so nearly unanimous Tor |
he aptiauated and played-out "old-
ticket" We do not like The CLARIoNs
new ticket-Rfyard and MeDonald-any
better than the old ticket, but are de-
LIGHTED at The CLARIoN's independence
in protesting against Mr.. Tilden's nominal
tioH. =,
We are alt surprised, considering the
great unanimity with gkich our es-
teemed contemporaries ancient enemy
has been endorsed by Democrats every
where, that i should be so much re-
;oiced by the mild onsesH4tigns of The
CLARION touching Mr.. Tilden's candi-
daey. The difference between us and
The Post Is that We AaVe no candidate.
All that we have said about candidates
10 in the interest Of the Democratic
marty and of the people, and we VIII
hail with rejoicing the nomination OF
any one of score or more OF dlstln-
guished Democrats whose names ARE
being discussed. The Rost has candl-
date, and, strange to say, candidate to
whom almost everybody in this part OF
the county Il opposed; candidate
who. it is conceded, eaaa0t garry his
