"Wliy ('oes not some advocate of a " stront povemment" nomínate Grant for a fourth term? Bosses Conkling, Cameron and Logan sa? Grant shall be the republican oandidate. Bobs Kolly says Tilden shall not be Lhe democratie candidato. Is it better to have three Bosses or one? Tt is gratifying to read that AckTenof Lnuisiana fails to secure a re-nomination. The democratie of his district rightly believe that a congressman who has to De investigated is one who had better be rrtired. Vanderbilt who recently aworebehad no property liable to taxation will soon invest six millions more in government f our por cents, running up his account in these securities to $57,000,000. It ■will b'e nrcessary for him to hire a coupon-clipper by the year. Gen. Grant attended the Methodist church, at Bloomington Sunday, and, Btrange to say, was not insulted by any fulsnme ftattery frnm the pulpit. In the afternoon he visited the Saldiers' Orphans' home. where he was " visibly atïected" by the singing of the children. Bloomincrton demócrata treated the city's guest with more consideration than has been sliown by some of the friends of Senator Blaine. Of Mre. John Sherman this anecdote, said to be current in Mansfield, is told by the Cleveland Herald: While a girl at school she became engaged one day in talking to several companions on tiie subject of marriage. One of the number told what she would do in case slie were manied. This brought out expressions frotn all the party, and when the future Mrs. Sherman's turn came she Bimply said: "It will be my aim to make my husband as much of a man as he can be." Democrats of New York met in two conventions at Syracuse on Tuesday. The regular convention largely composed of friends of Mr. Tilden was preside 1 overby senator Jacobs of Brpoklyn an 1 instrncted its seventy delegates to Cincinnati to vote as a unit. Though uninstructed they are nearly unanimous in favor of Mr. Tilden if he is a candidate, and, being liis friends will, provided he declines, undoubtedly support the nominee most aoceptable to Mr. Tilden T''p so("r.'i eonventlon eomposed oi bolterswith John Kelly at its head a'so inppöinted delegates to the national convention. Eev. Mr. De La Hatyr is oue of the accidental greenbackers wbo, indorsed by the democrats, got into congress from the Indianapolis district. "VVhen his term expires he ■wiTI go looking about för a pulpit, unless meanlime he gpes cnuy over finance. Observe the foUowingsophomorical slush appearing in one of his speeches as printed in the Congressional Globe and see if he is not iíi a fair way to bring up in an asylum: " AU the fury of the maddened priests anT thoir Iacírey army of. pampered eflltors and orators ean not prevent it. This thinking by the people is the hand of ñre writint thesentence of relentless doom on the alabaster walls of the gorgeous temple of .Mammon, where reveleis ari worshiping idola of bonds. of (told and silver, and are drunken witta the blood of the tojling masses, pressed by usury from their veins." What have we done that ex-senator Hendersonof Missouri should impute to us a wilTnameas to run Grant? Said Henderson, "iie would not be snrprisedto see the ex-president running for a third term, as an independent candidate, should he fail to get the Chicago ination- yes, or as a democratie, candiefats. He would have taken the democratie nominatiou in isr;sif tlierepublicans had refused to present hün, an 1 he is mnch more ansdous for the office now." Srtmo altowance should bc made for Mr. ll-.iii'lerson's bias against the expresident for whom. he never had any ardent admiration. It is a singular comaijnt however upon the actiou oí' Gvaat'a advocates that Uiey want a candidato whose politics have everbeen doubtful, and who, ws never donbled would have accepted the nomination in 1883 by the democratie party, if he hada 't secureJ it Er ira the other side.
