Congress was in eeMion four days
of last week, and the congregated
Democratic wisdom of the nation
evoked nothing new, wherewith to
disturb the country. For so much
we are duly thankfol

elated ore: reports from Jew Or

20,000 Democratic at the election

The Philadelphia Democracy are
improving on the Southern method
or bulldozing. Down South tbey
only shoot Republicans,' in the city
of Brotherly love they shoot Demo
crats. The Southern performances
rather grit as ; the Philadelphia one
don't matter politically.
The gossip about a yndicate
of New York brokers purchasing the
Pennsylvania railroad stock, own
ed by the city of Philadelphia, induc
ed the directorj of that road to make
a bid for it, and a few days since the
city sold them the entire lot 50,140
shraes at par, the sale amounting
to $2,957,450.
They are making huge prepara
tions to give General Grant a nota
ble reception in Pittsburgh on Satur
day next, (13). The railroads run
ning into the city agree to give large

that all Western Pennsylvania nod
Eastern Ohio will be there to greet bim
The President has nominated Sec
retarr McCreary for the bench cf the
IT. S. Diatriet Court of Iowa. If
this nomination is confirmed by the
Senate as it doubtless will be, it is
understood that ex-Governor Ramsey
of Minnesota will be Secretary of
War. Ramsey is a Tennsylvanian
by birth and education, and ft stal
wart Republican.
Dos'iyou munch any of that Dem
ocratic Uffr about the South not be
ing solid, and the likelihood ot a por
tion of it goiog for Grant. That
three or four Southern States would
vote for Grant, if a candidate, is be
yond doubt, no would tbey for any
other prominent Republican, but the
election officers, who will have the
counting of the vote, are all Demo
crats, "and don't you forget it 1"
Although the New York election
returns are all in, and the majority
for Iloskios, (Rep), for Lieutenant
Governor, has been skilfully whittled
down to 287 over bis competitor,
Clarkson N. Potter, yet the returning
board (Democratic) meets on the
12th for the purpose of further can
vassing the returns, and Iloskinsmay
yet be counted out
Telegrams from the South an
nounce that the election in Louisiana
last week, was peaceful, and the
Democratic vote was largely increas
ed. They hung only three colored
Republicans in the Parish of Madi
son, and in other Parishes the ballot
boxes were stolen and stuffed full of
Democratic tickets.
IIexd&icks has been blowing that
he wonld not take the second place
on the ticket again, counting that the
Democratic necessity for Indiana
would compel his nomination for
President, but cunning Sam. Tilden
has blocked this little game by quiet
ly giving out that Indiana was not
essential, as a concentrated effort on
New Jersey, New Hampshire and
Connecticut would carry them as
easily as Indiana, and tbey bad just
as many electoral votes.
Gordon and Lamar, and other
Southern fire-eaters, are talking of
going for Grant and electing him
President for life with the succession
to h son -Fred" Pray don't, good
gentlemen! The North has been
cared nearly into fits by the New
York Herald' cry of "Caesarism ,"
and if yon lend your potent aid to
swell the cry, we will lose our pro
prety altogether. Now, don't give
us a King, or an Emperor, or a per
petual President, od we will be your
bumble servitors forever. Take any
other shape than that !
Prominent Democratic leaders at
Washington are quoted s saying
'they cant w anything discourage
ing in the Democratic outlook." Men
ee so differently, yoa know. For
instance, a 'venerable Democrat of
this town, insisted one night dark
as a black dog's mouth upon look
ing at the vane upon the coert house
steeple, and didnt see anything to
discourage his hopes of a change in
the wind, and consequent freedom
frem his rheumatism.
The President's message was sto
lenby what they call an "enterpris
ing" journalist and published the day
before Congress, to whom it was ad
dressed, had assembled. The theft,
however, did.not injure its qnality,
and wejeommend it to the attentive
perusal of our readers. It will be
found eminently satisfactory in all
essentials, except, perhaps, in the rec
ommendation to retire the legal tea
dor paper currency. On this point
many Republicans will uke issne
with the President, but be has since
explained that while this is his indi
vidual opinion, of the best way of
making sound financial basis, he
'floes not intend to insist upon bis
views being adopted by Congress.
The message is an important one,
and will doubtless give rise to sever
al discussiois both within and
without the psrty, but not in
any way to endanger the present Re
publican unity.
' Bail has bee a again given by
the parlies wbo are indicted for
bribery and corroptioo in connection
with the Pittsburgh riot bill, and the
trials are set down for the January
term. We trust the counsel fur the
Commonwealth will be able to force
a trial f the cases at that time. We
want an authoritative construction
of the law by the Court of last resort,
where we presume these cases will
go, so that hereafter, each local court
may not be able to construe it, as
the whim of its Judges may dictate.
We have neard a great deal about
the carpet-bag robberies of Southern
States, but now that those Staes are
enjoying the blessings of.bome rule,
tbe innate cussidness of the people
will crop out. Thus in Virginia, the
"native and best" Democrats and
Republicans have strack bands in
tbe Legislature to repudiate the State
debt, and swindle the State 'e creditors.
We do not wonder that Republianc
ism makes no progress in the South,
when its professed advocates hav'ot
back-bone enough to be commonly
honest. A thief is a thief, for a' that
For the Presidential year every
well-informed citizen should have a
leading metropolitan newspaper. We
commend to a'.i such the annual pro
spectus of the New-York Tribune,
which we print in an other column.
For nearly forty years tbe Tribune
has been a great power for good in
this country, and it never was a bet
ter paper than it is now, and never
wielded a greater influence in favor
of tbe right in politics as well as
morals, than it does to-day. We
commend it to every family as a pa

Mr. W.m. A. Wallace., the cci
dental Senator from this Slate, has
given notice that he intends to se
cure for his Democratic brethren
portion of the spoils, in tbe shape of
a number of tbe supervisors to take
the census, and be proposes to do
this through tbe medium of the Uen
ate, which has tbe power to reject
tbe nominations made by tbe Presi
dent for these positions. This is a
sharp trick, such as might be expect
ed from this small-potato politician,
and reminds us of tbe times when the
Senate, to prevent the placing of cop
perheads and quasi rebels in office,
had to reject tbe nominations of An
drew Johnson. If the securing of a
few pieces for his hungry henchmen,
was tbe sole object of Wallace, tbe
triviality would be about equal to his
amount of political honesty, but it is
believed that the true object of the
movement is to secure Democratic
sipervisors in the Southern States,
so as to cover up election frauds in
that section, where it has been ba
bitual to return Democratic majori
ties as large as tbe total population,
and also, to so swell the population
returned, as to prevent the heavy
loss in members of Congress, which
tbe Southern States most submit to,
if an honest census is taken. Mr.
Wallace will bear watching at all
times, and particularly now, when
every known appliance of Iran a is
being ased to wrench political power
from the hands of the Republicans.
Democratic politicians are the
same the eountrv over, and their
most ready and effective arguments
are the pistol and the knife. I n tbe
Southern States these telling argu
ments are principally reserved for use
against Republicans. In the North
they apply them to each other. On
Wednesday last they were brought
into active and effective use in Phila
delphia, where tho members of that
party met in various primary con
ventions, to nominate candidates for
city magistrates and delegates to the
State Convention. Headed bv "Bill"
McMullen, the chief fugleman of Mr.
Speaker Randal, and a notorious
rough who ought to have graced tbe
gallows years ago, a crowd of ruffians
armed to the teeto, invaded tbe elec
tion rooms in various precincts, and
opened an indiscriminate ire npon
tbe brethren there assembled, driving
them out, taking possession of tbe
premises and organizing the assemb
lages to suit themselves. One man
was killed outright, riddled with
balls, and a number of others were
seriously wounded. It required all
the efforts of large bodies of police to
stop the Sow of blood and prevent
further murders. The strife was
caused by tbe efforts of t Randal-
Tilden Democrats on tbe one hand
and the anti-Tilden bummers on tbe
other, to secure tbe delegates to the
State Convention, which body selects
tbe r preventatives in the next Na
tional Conventioa that nominates tbe
Presidential candidate. "otwit!
standing the bloody raid of aa4U
followers, tbey signally failed in tbeir
efforts to secure a majority of the del
egates to the State Convention, del
egation determinedly hostile to Til
den being selected. Tbe result is
that Tilden's goose is cooked so far
as ttta State is concerned, and that
Mr. Speaker Randall is in imminent
danger of losing his jgrip on that Con
gresaioLel seat, wbiefe ie has all
along held by favor of the sutrderooB

Orm WASH ISQTOS LETTER.
(Fpmb our Regular Oorrerpondent,
Washington, Dec. 6, 1879-
Congress assembled yesterday to
find many changes about tbe Capitol,
especially in tbe House where better
ventilation, more room and various
other improvements bave occurred
since their departure last summer.
The meeting was tbe cause as usual
of tbe assembling of a vast crowd of
spectators, of both sexes and colors,
nd tbe usual jam in tbe considers
and crush in the galleries occurred.
Tbe members as tbey gathered on
tb? floor of tbi Houae previous to tbe
falling of tL gavel at precisely
twelve o'clock seemed cool, and no
excitement prt ailed, such as occurred
during the clot.ng scene of tbe spe
cial session wben tbe democrats tried
to starve tbe Government. The re
publicans congregated around Gar
field and Conger and during most of
tbe time between acts of calling tbe
roll, swearing in new members and
reading tbe President's message
chatted and exchanged courtesies
with tbe acknowledged leaders, while
on tbe bourbon side everybody seem
ed in a quandary what to do, having
been warned so much not to do any- j
thing rash, that most of them put in
their time shaking bands with Alex
II. Stevens, Vice President of tbe
Southern Confederacy.
Quite a number of members bad
elegant boquets on their desks placed
there no doubt by admiring friends.
The impression among the members
generally is tbat the session will be a
long one, that not much legislation
wilt be accomplished, but that each
party will be kept busy watching the
other, ana tatting up as good a post
tion as possiole for the Presidential
vear. Tbe republicans, at least tbe
more prominent ones, do not seem to
take any stock in tbe idea of making
General Orant a captain general in
tbe army, but rather regard it as a
democratic trick.
eetern republicans do not like
tbe financial recomendation in tbe
President's message and Secretary
Sherman's report It is admitted all
around thst Seretary Sherman's re
port is tbe most "nervy" state paper
tbat Las been given to tbe public for
year. Ibe greenbackers say tbey
are s lid at least in resisting such
suggestion.' as are therein contained
Tbey feel resuscitated and are glori
fying themselves again over tbe pos
sibility ot holding tbe balance of
power and all tbat sort of thing.
ua me senate siae tne opening
proceedings were even duller than
those of tbe U ouse. Nearly every
dek in the chamber was ornamented
with a boquet, showing that tbe sen
ators were either more popular than
tbe members or had a better stand
ing with tbe florists.
ine ice i resident s aesK was
decorated with a magnificent basket,
and Mr. Wheeler seemed to look
much better than he did lant summer,
bis Bojourn in tbe mountains having
done him good.
There will be little done in tbe
way of legislation before tbe holiday
recess. Aone ot tbe appropriation

Major Tbomas P. Morgan, chief
of Police of this district has been ap
pointed one of the commissioners of

and son arrived in tbe city on Fri-
day ana iook tneir oia quarters at t e

I expect tbe women will pester
Congress considerable this session
for legislation in their behalf. Prom
inent faces of the gentler sex are al
ready observed here bussing our
members just from tbe country.
Twenty-five rich widows from differ
ent states, bave addressed petitions
to congress, declaring that they are
annnally taxed beavily Tor tbe sop
port of pauperism and crime, which
are the direct results of alcoholic
liquor traffic, while tbey bave no
power to suppress vice or taxation,
they therefore ask to be relieved of
their political disabilities. If this
snonia do aenvea, tneir next step
win be to ask to be relieved from tax
ation, which is certainly consistent
Large numbers of petitions for con
stitutional amendments will also be
present It will bo remembered that
tbe House committee on rules during
tbe extra session, ordered a favora
ble report on tbe appointment of a
select committee to consider the
rights of women citizens.
Judge Mac Arthur has received an
autograph letter from General Grant,
in which be save tbat he does not ex
pect to visit Washington nntil after

There has been considerable growl
ing among church people at the ac
tion of Sam Randall of Pennsylva
nia, speaker of the Ho ere in allow
ing tbe eoeiety of tbe Army of the
Cumberland to hold their bull in the
Captol of tbe Nation. There has
been no precedent for holding a ball
in this building, and it is thought be
has set a bad example and will prop-
ably hear from it before Coogreos ad
journs. Ine Capitol of tbe Nation
ia no place to bold balls, army or anv
oiler kind.
Tbe Senators are muttering words
of discontent in regard to tbe action
of tbeir .Sergeant at Arms, Bright; in
tbeir absents in removing crippled
soldiers from tfe fapitol and em
ploying rebels in their places.
II is course is scarcely more pleas
ing to Democrats than to Republicans
and as it now looks, the official is in
eminent peril of peing as tbe phrase
goes "bounced." The fair minded
senators of either party have felt
deep tbserin over his defiant disre
gard and violation of tbe adopted
poiiey of tbat cosy as to.ton!nuing
wounded aoMiers in its subordinate ;
positions. Tb cinimary and pojust;
dismissal of Wilson who bad given
tbe best of his physical powar to fcU
country, in defiance of a standing
Senate resolutions which should bave
saved him from such an assault, is
keenly remembered by Democrats
and publicans ante, mere is a
stor.m a brewing.
Many grangers who visit this city
are swineHs by .fjpeives and three card
monte men, who tir.ust themselves
on visitors in tbs eapacit of guides
and nnder tbe pretense of saVsire
tbem sights, decoy them across tie
filer to Arlington where they fleece
them U pleasure. As the offences
are comnntUd in Virginia the Dis
trict police are pjM rless to do more
than warn strangers fgfjnst all
classes of confidence men. irnsfi
few days ago party of these guides
engaged a party of visitors in a
three card mou&o game near Arling
ton. Tbe strangers did not bet high
enough for them, and they reported
to an ingenious trick to extort mon
ey. Some confederates, pretended
to be detectives, raided the the whole
party, putting tbem inder arrest for
gampling. The guileless vietems
fiaid the supposed detectives $100 to
et them off. Another similar occur-
rence remarkable for it boldess was

Strangers should be on tbe lookout
for these swindlers when tbey visit

Secretary Sherman i very much
annoyed at the premature publication
of bis report, which was stolen with
tbe President's message and sold to
certain representatives of the Press.
Tbe Secretary has directed a most
rigid inve8i?ation to be made by tbe
secret service detectives. Hereafter
reports of tbe different departments
and messages from the President will
be i-eat to Congress in manuscript.
Senator Thormaa does not seem to
take his enforced retirement from
politics muca to heart Yesterday
in tbe Senate Chamber, a friend com
plimented Lim upon tbe receipt of tbe
handsome boquet tbat ornamented
his desk. "Ob yes," replied the Sen
ator "some kind friends have sent
these to dec rate my political coffin."
On tne Senate floor Secretarv feber
man met Judge Thurman, and shook
bim heartily by tbe hand. Judge
Thurman says :
"How do you do Mr. Secretary?
Sit down."
"No, thank you," retorted the Sec
retary as tbe Judge rose.
"Oh, but I insist tbat you sit down
in this chair," replied tbe Senator. I
see by tbe papers tbat Tom Young
first, and then Garfield, and tnen
Stanley Matthews, each came in and
tried my seat and now I insist that
you try it."
"Oh. no," raid the Secretary ; if I
should come back here I would pre
fer my old seat" (pointing to it on
the Republican side).
There is already talk enough
among members of Congress abont
tbe Presidential canvass next year to
warrant the supposition that a good
deal of time will ba devoted this
coming session, to manouvers tbat
will affect tbe coming race. In tbe
lobbies, corridors and cloak rooms
where congressmen meet, smoke and
chat, it is said to day that Speaker
Randall is an aspirant for tbe Demo
cratic presidential nomination, and
tbat he has bis agents busily at work
in bis interest One piece of gossip
is to the effect tbat Randall and his
friends are devoting themselves now
to an effort to kill off Bayard. In
proof of tbin, tbe recent interview of
Congressman Blonnt, of Georgia-
one of Randall a most intimate friends
is pointed to. mount declared
that Bayard could not carry New
York and it is alleged by tbe Bayard
men tbat Randall is endeavoring to
weaken Bayard in the South by
creating tbat impression. It is said
further, that there is no substance in
tbe Seymour boom ; that it is but a
shadow; that the anti-Bayard men
are using Seymour's name to prevent
the swelling of the Bayard boom,
hoping to wear the Senator from
Delaware out before the meeting of
the National convention, that if Bay
ard can thus be worn out. Tilden
will come to tbe front again. These
soutnern brigadiers want another
wback at Tilden's barrel. It is evi
dent that Senator Bayard is much
stronger as a presidential candidate
than be was at tbe extra session
To-day in the House of Represen
tatives, bills were in order, and a
mass of tbem were presented and re
ferred to tbe several committees
Tbe majority of them were of a pri-
ate natnre and pensions prevailed
As member after member aroe in his
place to present his batch the eyes of
many an anxious persons in the gal
leries were gladdened as tbeir names
were called and entered on the Jour
nal.
The Pension committee will hold
a session on Friday when work will
begin in earnest to examine into tbe
merits of each case. Tbe comraitt. e
have a big winters work before them.
A visit to the Pension committee
room situated on the first floor of the
capitol, revealed great activity
among tbe members, preparing bills
and distributing tbe mas? of mail
matter accumulated during tbe sum
mer, while under tbe tables, in the
corners and on ' the ton of tbe desk
used by Mr. Downey of Johnstown,
the Committee clerk, was observed
at least a cart load of "public docu
ments" awaiting to be addressed to
tbe different members constituents
There seems to be from all ac
counts considerable rivalry between
candidates from the Eighth Pennsyl
vania (census) district for the office
of Superintendent of the census.
There is now already some eight
applications from prominent men f r
the place and with a prospect of tbe
number being increased to twenty or
more when all are beard from. Som
erset county, in tbe list, has entered
early and is backed by big names if
that will do any good. Professor
Critcbfield, late county superintendent
of schools is pressing his claims with
zeal and hopes for success while
Isaac Brubaker of Stoystown is not
lagging in the rear.
Tbe district is a large one and
there being so many applicants all
backed by big names and earnest
workers it is bard to tell as every
thing is "much in tbe fog" who will
be tbe lucky man.
My friend Brubaker is a good man
and an old schoolmate of mine, and
personally I hope be will win.

Charlestown, W. Va , December
3. Tbe mining region in tbe Kana
wha valley has been suffering from
tbe acts of tbe Knights of Labor in a
similar manner as did a portion of
Pennsylvania from tb Mollie Ma-
guires. 1 be organizations resemble
each other. Most of the labor
troubles in the region named are
traceable to the secret influence of this
association. It first appeared in 1870.
and, gaining strength, undertook to
dictate who should or wbo should
not be employed, causing a long and
bitter controversy between operators
and miners. In 1877 and 1878 there
were some fifteen strikes along tbe
river and railway, accompanied by
violence and lawlessness. From 1S76
to 1879 eight fatal lyncbings took
place in tbe valley, with no effort to
punish tbe perpetrators by tbe au
thorities. This week a guneral strike
was threatened, including the stop
page of all coal trains on tbe Chesa
peake and Ohio road. It was met
by the declaration of tbe Governor
that he wonld use the whole military
power of the State, and, if necessary,
call on tbe general government for
aid to Btop any such lawless conduct.
bo far serious trouble has been avoid
ed. The Knights of labor have some
5,000 or 6,000 members along tbe
valley, having its county, general and
district assemblies in six or seven
counties. It is thought tbat a great
er show of firmness on the part of the
authorities will put an en-t to its dan
gerous tendencies.
A Pay In it Railroad.
PiTTsnuaa, Dec. 1 Tbe annual
meeting A tbe Pittsburg division of
tbe Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
held to-day. John King, Jr., tbe
president, submitted tbe annual re
port, which dhows tbat the gross
earnings for tbe year were, $1,5118,-
113 63, being an increase of $55,559,
83 as compared with tbe fiscal year
ended September 30, 1S7S, and tbat
the working expenses were $8G5,
831.53, being $93,609.89 less tbau
tb use for tbe fiscal year ended Sep
tember 30, 1873 This makes tbe
uet earning $732,282 05, or $153,
9G9.77 more tbau those for tbe last
fiscal year. The ratio of working
expenses wa 54.17 per cent, tor tbe
year. A comparison witb the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1877, showa
an increase of earnings of $209,079,
41, a decrease in expense of $116,184,
and an increase in net earnings of
$325,863 4 1. After paying tbe inter
est of $4,000,000 of 7 per cent first
mortgage bonds, $280,000 ; interest
on tbe Turtle Creek bonds, $195 96;
interest on tbe sterling consolidated
mortgage bonds, $375,196 80, and in
terest on tbe amount beld in tbe sink
ing fund, $4,065.60, $078,858.40, there
remains an excess of net earnings to
be credited for interest on cash ad
vances made by the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company to this com
pany of $53,423 65, wbicb leaves
$156,014.76 as a deficit. Of the
amount required to pay tbe total in
terest debt for the year, from tbe
present outlook it is hoped the time
is not far distant when tbe net earn
ings will be sufficient to meet this in
debtedness. Tnere were transported
during the year 702,444 tons of coal,
yielding a revenue of $366,925 74, of
which 545,674 tons were gas coal,
yielding $318,263 93. Of coke 897,
251 tons were transported, yielding a
revenue of $454,349 34. Tbe revenue

penalty of th-l. iu the pri, ror-
ridor, for tbe murder f Ctbrni
Reily in September. 1378 He pruv
most of tbe m orning in deououl
exercises, there bing five orient in
attendance. He wu conducted to
the scaffold at 2 p m , and ten min
utes later the sheriff spraag the trap.
The murder dropped through tbe on
folded doors, but, through suae blun
der, tbe knot of tbe noose became un
fastened by the jar, and Tracey fell
heavily to the floor. A new rope was
obtained, the partially unconscious
man was lifted to tbe platform, and
the second attempt proved effectual,
breaking bis neck.
Tracey belonged to an honorable
family, and possessed superior intel
lectual endowments. He was born
in 1850, and became a studejt of Al
legheny College, New York, and be
came a lawyer. He has two broth
ers, who are priests, and one of tbem !
was with tbe condemned man all
night.
tkacy's CRIME.
Tracy had bsen paying attention
to Miss Reily for two years, and
many letters passed between tbem,
hers being filled with expressions of
fondness. She bad also corresponded
with Tbomas Carroll, who declares
that she was engaged to him, and
that Tracey had knowledge of the
fact. The murder was committed
on the nigbt of September 18, 1878,
while Miss Reily was on her way to
the bouse of Miss Belle Mullen, who
was by her Bide when the fatal shot
was fired. During the evening Miss
Reily and Miss Mullen had paid sev
eral visits to tbe millinery store of
tbe murderer's sister in the town
Tracey was about tbe house at tbe
time, and Miss Reily treated him in
the most respectful manner. A short
time before she was murdered she
asked him to play ao accopaniment
on tbe piano to a song she had been
j
renuesieu to reuuer. Aitnougn a
good performer, and geuerally dis
posed to play, be declined to grant
her requset. bne then Bang for his
gratification, bat had only half com
pleted tbe song when he left the
room.
Miss Reily had accepted tbe invi
tation of Miss Mullen to stay with
her all nigbt, and walked together.
As tbey approached their destination
they heard footsteps behind them,
and soon after some one whom they
did not recognize, because of tbe
darkoetis, discharged a revolver, and
Miss Reily fell to the sidewalk In
less than half an boar she was a
corpse, death daviog ensued from a
bullet wound in her left temple.
Miss. Mullen, wbo had hold of the
murdered girl's arm wben tbe shot
was fired, was stunned and also fell
to the sidewalk. Tracey fled, and
was arrested two days after at Port
ville, N. Y., where he was passing
under an assumed name. After be
was secured he admitted bis guilt.
During his confinement be spent most
of hia time in reading and writing.
He composed a long pcem in blank
verse, entitled tbe "Invocation," tbe
purpose ot which was to show tbat
as men know so little of God, it is
not strange that they mb-jadge the
human heart and tbe impulses of the
mind.

letting tne news oesi wortn Knowing, and lor en
forcing sound politics. From tne day tbe war
closed It has been mest anxious for an end of sec
tional slrile. But saw two years ago, and was tbe
ursi persistency to proclaim tne new uanger to
the country from the revived alliance of the Solid
South and Tammy HalL Against that danger it
sought Ui rally tbe the old party of Freedom and
Union. It began by demanding the abandonment
of personal dislikes, and set the example. It
called for an end to attacks upon each other in
stead of the enemv ; and for the bcartiet agree
ment upon whatever fit candidates tbe majority
should put up against the common foe. !ince then
the tide of disaster has been turned back: every
doubtiul Stale bas been won, and tbe omens lor
national victory were never .more cheering.
The Tribune's Position.
Of Thx Tribcsk's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who bave seen moit oi the
struggle. It will taitblully portray tbe varying
phases of the campaign now beginning. It will
earnestly strive that lite party ol freedom. Union

win, and surest to make a good President. But in
this crisis it- can conceive of no nomioatton this
party eould make tbat would uot be preferable to
