Ever and anon we meet ft paper that declares for a high-toned political canvass one full of the strongest re spectability. It is a right sentiment that is thus declared, but wo fear that the fierceness and violation of right principle on the part of tho Democra cy will compel that kind of plain speak ing, on the part of Republicans, which the facts necessitate aud justify. This need not degenerate into slang and vi tuperation, and, we are satisfied, will not so far as Republicans are concern ed. The Democracy already are re sorting to such expressions are rarely find place in Republican journals, and by low insinuation or downright false statement, seek to make headway against an intelligent presentation of the facts that bear upon the pending canvass. The improved morale of tha Republican party renders more con spicuous the degradation of the De mocracy. The contrast is observable at all points. Not more certain is it that the nomination of Uayes and Wheeler was the product of the reform movement at Cincinnati than that the combination of Tildeu and Hendricks was a victory for therepudiators. And the difference grows more marked the more we see of tho Congressional dis tricts and of the preparation for State elections. The Republican disposition is to bring out the best men that they may harmonize with the Presidential ticket and contribute to its strength, while in turn deriving strength from it. There is another element of promise for the Republican party as the can vass now stands. It is in the aggress ive character it has given to the can vass. It is nowhere on the defensive, but everywhere aggressive, earnest and positive. The Democracy, on the other hand, show no intellectual aggressive ness, but are ready to develop at the South that of terrorism through the medium of violence and murder. Not a word has been needed in defence of Hayes and Wheeler, both of whom are recognized as men of sterling purity of character. Tilden and Hendricks have been found with fearfully bad political 1 records, and the former with a person al record that is hard to harmonize with riurity of purpose. His railroad wrecking judged in the light of his written defenco is anything but a com mondable affair. His defense in court amounts substantially to the plea that too much time had expired for him . now to render an account. Why should an honest man object to render ing an account when legally and prop erly called upon for it? Thus, in this. and other particulars, the candidates - are neculiarlv vulnerable. The nartv however, with its blistering record of treason and rebellion, its spirit of mur der and violence, continues to this day its enorts to gain control ol the Uov ernment, and all are of a character to cftllfor the most vigorous and aggress ive opposition. We will be excused if we state that in our judgment, the good sense or the American people will con tinue the jxepuoncan party in power another "term. The Democracy are showing the cloven hoof too distinctly to be trusted. uazelte. Some- observing newspaper corres -pondent is responsible for the follow ing: "Odo of the remarkable speci . mens who roam the Saratoga piazzas is daily adorned in four separate suits. He makes his debut in the morning in a brown and gray plaid, with scarlet stripes running through it. A few hours later the toilet is varied by black velvet jacket over the gorgeous plaid pantaloons. At dinner he ap pears in a lighter plaid suit of about an inch square, and in tho evening he is generally done up in full evening toilet, tin air of perfect selt-satisfao tion increases with each suit that he don3. He wears a broad smile with the plaid and a smirk with the swal low tail." "Do your duty, Potter," said she "and march behind the band and with the torch of your inexhaustible patri otism illumine the way for your fel low-man, but don't drink beer." When tho old man came home and set tho mosquito bar on fire with tho torch of his inexhaustible patriotism, he moved gracefully but somewhat expeditiously out oi the room, attended by the iami Jy rocking chair. The shipment of twelve common gauge and two narrow-gauge locorao Uvea from this country to Brazil show3 that, ancr a lair trial of .European cn gines, ours have prove nioro satsftio tory to me urazuians, and they are determined to adopt them. It is grand triumph for our engine builders and a fine opening for a new branch of export trade. An Eddyville, Iowa lawyer is run ning for office, and he is playing it fine on the guileless agriculturalists. When he sees an UDUdual number of farm teams in torvn he locks his office doors and pastes the following legend on th outside: Uone home to stack my hay; back in two hours. , When Kilpatiick threw his conun drnm at a Pittsfield audience : "What was Tilden doing in tho dark days whn Hays was shoulder to shoulder with the army boys?" a boy In the crowd replied promptly, "Wiping off his chin." "How to keep butter." is a question now agitating boarding-house keepers.. Put a stray hair or two in it, set it on tho table and it will keep there till doomsday. However, they already understand that yamo pretty well. SQUARE GRAND PIANOS Retailed at Wholesale Trices. fO0Ofort2BO. 6S0for300. S70orort30o. f 800 for 9330. THE "MENDELSSOHN" PIANO CO.
