Not Alone "to Beat Grant."
One of tho standing sneers with wh'ich the party in power and its press seek to meet the'great popular movonient which ia destined to eweep Radicalisin out of existence is, that its watchword is, "Anything to beat Oraut," nd that the seveal elementa which are conibined in that inovemeut are bound togethor by no other tie and aro actuatud ïy no other conimon impulse. It seems hardly necessary to miiku serioua donial of 6uch a proposition. There may be, and undoubtedly are Bomo among the oppononts of Radioalisin whose oppoeition is basod upon the singlo deeire to ohange Prosidonts, as there are undoubtedly somo who ara actuated by even lower motives ; but to assume that victory over Qrant is tho solo object of all or of any considerable number of thoso who have joined hourts and hands in this great uprising of the poople, is to clothe the prosuut occupant of the White House with a consequmv-e he does not possess The people tear Orant as littlo as they love hira ; they know that of himself he can do little, and if permitted would perhaps do ltws; and they inoir, too, that their real causo for foar is in tho corrupt combination whoso uiiscrupulojis tooi he has shqwn himsolf to be. Knowing thifi, they know that nioroly to beat him in the coming oontest i not enough, but that tho entire combiuation must be overthrown and the governuientroplaced in the hands of those in whom the people can confido.
