Political Clippings
- There is on all sides confiruiation of the theory that the spoils Kepublicana who are dissatisfied with the Hayes adruinistration are looking to Grant, and expect to nomínate him for a third term. There is not only a écheme on toot to that effect, but it has been artfully managed. The immense parade over Grant in Europe has been as carefully managed as Barnum makes a circus, with a view to the effect in the United States. There is "money" behind the movement, and there are operators in New York, Philadelphia, Paris, and London. In the meantime Grant is weary of public life, and is coming home by way of India and California. - Cincinnati Commercial. - It is a little amusing now to see Demócrata wbo have been bulldozed into the greenback ranks, tiying to get out and back to their old party again. Some of them had the idea that the Greeuback party was growing to be a monstrous party, and that the Democrats would go over to them en mane, but they have found out their mistake. The Democrats are going to run a clean, straight ticket. No affiliation worth a cent, Mary Ann. - Nihs Democrat. - That order has been interpreted again. There was just a shred of it left, and that rag Senator Dorsey has put in his pocket. It is now announced that officials may attend conventions, belong to committees and run things generally. It is worth nothing that the enumerations are always of tilines wbioh this remarkably afiirmative order pormits ; it is never annoimced - and i would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer now to teil - what it i'orbids. The proverbial procesa oí' extracting gunbeains from oucumbers is child's play couipared with the task of coaxing the clipped dollar iuto circulation. Yei this proceeding may be described in words as few as those of the celebrated ohapter on snakesin Ireland. The paternal coin cannot be coaxed. Even the mine owners refuse to touch it, and demand gold for their bullion. Senator Jones ought to makn auother report at least as long as his first one on this new niovemeut in silver - or rather on this refusal of silver to move. - ]Srvw York Eeeninij Post. - The Illinois Republicana attempt to revive the old quarrel between the North and the South by sounding a note of alarm respecting the payment of Southern claims. This is a shallow electioneering device. The Southern war debt will not be paid nor auy compensation be made for the destruction of slave property because the amended Constitution forbida it. Pensions to rebel soldiers is an equally foolish bugbear. Such attempts to galvanize dead questsons are a proof of conscious weakness on the part of the Republicans. - Ni Y. Uerald. - That the sweet singer of Michigan, Zachariah Chrndler, wants to be the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night to the Kepublican party. That might do very well. He would make a rosy and rubicund old cloud. But when he wants to rnake a little cloud and a little pillar of fire out of his sonin-law, Eugene Hale, the Radical brethren think he is going too far. Little Eugene cannot wear the old man's breeches, no matter how much he is padded. Let hitn confine himself to the congenial employment of beating the tom-tom forBlaine. - Cincinnati Enquirer. EDWARD DUFPY has renewed his stock of Choice family'Groceries. Especial attention of all persons putting up fruits is invited to his line of Sugars. At no other store can as good an article be found for the same niouey. Every person indcbted to the ARKUS Office, eitber for subscrfption adrerii-.mil;, or job i niinm. is iuvited to make iiumcdiute payment. Every dollar due n is u, rr-.it i y neeeded.
