thngs OF life. Above and before everything eae, IL

with q large A."
Mr.. GR1FFIN's faith in the power OF capt.
tai letters Is unboundeI. Ife even thinks
that large A and largo N may redeem
Kentucky. ut may not yet he too late"
he cries. Ito give needed encouragement to
tho plucky men who are trying to wrest that
State from the grasp OF the Bourbons, and
the effort should be made. 1t Is possible that
they will win glorious victory on Aug. 8,
even II left to themselves, but 1t Is shame
that they have boon 80 generally cold-shoul-
dered. Are Republican leaders 80 stone
blind that they cannot sec that Republic

sure National triumph next year,"
Why have not the Republican leaders col
Jared the situation before2 Why have they
not helped the Kentucky Republicans? A
Republican victory in Kentucky would cover
the Democrats with goose flesh. yet Mr..
GRIFFIN is the only man whose gerfalcon
eye has seen how tho Blue Grass Is waving.
Only two weeks are left for tho Northern
Republicans to help their Kentucky breth-
rem, and now is the time to subscribe. VIII
Mr.. PLATr, Mr.. FAssETT, and tho other Re-
publican head men in New York give ear to
tho wisdom OF Mr.. GRIFFIN, and pass
around the hat for Kentucky? Or do they
prefer to wait for the moro arduous and
splendid work OF making Texas Republican
Shall Mr.. GRIFFIN like Wisdom, cry out in
the streets and no man regard him, or will
the Republicans reach out their hands for
those six or eight Southern Statesp
Our own confidence in Mr.. GRIFFIN is 40
great that we mention, only for tho discom-
future OF their makers, certain assertions OF
Alliance men who are carrying States In
their minds. When Mr.. GRIFFIN talks about
the possibilities and probabilities, we give to
his views the generation due to man who
has led tho Anti-saloon Republicans. and
may lead them again II he can find them.
| When the Hon. FRANK MoGRATH, President
OF the Kansas Alliance, says that North
| Carolina Is sure to be ours, as is Alabama
| when he carries Tennessee and Mississippi
| for the third party. and AYERS that we are
preparing a surprise party for tho Demo-
Gratis fthe South" one thinks OF the remark
OF the pirate chieitain to NOSE in ARTEMUs
WARDS tragedy: "Old boss. methinks thou
art blowing!" What does MCGRATH know
about the politics Of the South7 While No
GRATH Is counting upon victories, the crafty
GRIFFIN is getting ready to take six States.
at the lowest estimate, from the Democrats.
But even GRIFFIN cannot watch everything
and everywhere. While he Is conquering tho
South, tho Irresistible Alliance is Girding up
its overalls for raid into the Republican
Northwest. Col. LEoNIDAs LUCULLUs POLK,
| President Of tho National Alliance, says that
the third party Twill sweep Kansas, North
and South Dakota. Nebraska, and other
States" Without giving an opinion as to
Col. Folks knowledge Of Western politics.
we may still venture to suggest to Mr..
GRIFFIN that the Alliance Is likely to carry
as many States in the West as the Republic
can party In the South. Just about; 80 that
Mr.. GRIFFIN may conclude not to carry
Kentucky before 1892.
