At the next meeting of the County Club the Constitution and tho Rules foi nnndmrtinir the Primary Election will b< discussed. Wo give below the full tcxl of both of these documents, tlmtour people may re;ul them carefully ami be prepared to vote intelligently on the varimi? changes which may be proposed. Foi our own part we think the Primary Elections should bo conducted as nearly a? possible on the plan of conducting tlx general election. The primaries should not in our opinion Ik? held under the auspices of local clubs and in the interest o; particular candidates, but the manager; should be appointed t>v the County Chair man, with tho approval of tho C?unt\ Club, and thev should hold the elcctioi at tho usual places of election, after mak lug affidavit that they will hold a fail election and act impartially a.s betweci the candidates. Poll lists should bo kep so that if any fraud should be discovered the old rule of taking tho illegal vote y from the candidates having the greates number of votes may be restored. Thii would insure a fair election. Tho Conn ty Club should be explicit in its declara tion as to who me qualified voters at tlx primary election. This will prevent dis satisfaction among the candidates am their respective fricuds. Constitution of the Abbeville Demo crntic Club.

In conversation with a gentleman of edu cation and high standing in another county he said: "The Trustees of Erskine College shoul< *' "" 1 "? ?vln.timf.ii ask (li®uru tuc uvm vuv lng the removal of the two professors, think that every student who signed that po tltion should be discharged unless ho with draws his name. Students should be taugh that the Trustees run the Institution, and ar< responsible for the efllcleney of Its Professor! al corps, aud discipline." > ? An old gentleman of Abbeville said: "I have Just read your account of the Dui West atlitfr, and 1 cannot see from your state went, how it is possible for the Trustees t< sustain the students In their petition. Al though I never go to their Commencement ; vlsh the institution great success. I feel i lively Interest In its wellfaro and hope to set It prosper.', A young gentleman called at our office oi tbe morning of the publication, and said: "I think the action of the Due West gtu dents whs a great outrage." A gentleman rei>orta to us from Green wood: "Your statement last week of the Due Wes nflair has been very generally read. The pre vailing impression In that section Is that tlx Professors referred to in the petition of th< student* should not be removed." JL UIV1 ^Miuuuig ui AJablllD ucw Greenwood, said: "I am of opinion that the Professor* nam ed in the petition should have RucccRkors." A prominent citizen of Greenwood said "You furnished a very Interesting accouni of the Due West art'uir last Wednesday. I l>ellevc the I'rolessora should bo removed." Kui^lils of Honor. The Richmond Sentinel, a paper devot ed to the fnterests of the Knights of Honor in its pen pictures of the member* of the Su preme Lodge, among othor thlDgs, says first of the body as a whole: "Thl* was, without doubt, the ablest bods that lias yet met Mince tile organization o theOrder.

It ha*been done honestly. : sincerely, earnestly,but with multifold iinper-1 feci ions; and my performances always are j 1 rebuked by my ideal of what Is becoming. . There has recently been a proclamation that I have made a "new departure," that I have r abandoned the ground on which my fathers j stood, and have forsaken evangelical truth and taken up liberal and infidel positions. | t This lias been spread abroad by the press very i widely. To those who sit under my ministrations I need say nothing as against the ? more bitter and stupid stories of men who are tit foranythlng better than to sit in jtulg1 mcnt upon doctrinal truth ; but to even those ! h best acquainted with my preaching, and yet: more to those who only read my sermons, and i to the great (,'hrlstian brotherhood to which I j . urn proud to belong, it may be wise, and a duty, to state with dell n Hen ess and such r? *??.->i11iiiii. ik, i imo will allow on what ground!' j . I do hturul and what are the salient points o I my religious belief. 1 I shall briefly touch the following topics ; j The inspiration of the liilile, the sinfulness of j man, conversion, the Trinity, the doctrine of fulth, the Saviour and the Holy Spirit, the I - atonement, retribution. Of the questlou of I i he church and ordinances I shall not have; Ume to speak ; but those are topic* of second-; u ary Importance, Of course this must be done I briefly, so wide Is the subject. Yet I shall! endeavor todo It explicitly. ! believe that God in every age and In all nations has moved upon the hearts of men by ' 1 his Holy Spirit inspiring them to whatever is j s true, pure and noble. I believe that thel 1 Scriptures of the Old Testament and of the, I New contain the fruit of that inspiration as J 1 it was developed In the Hebrew nation ; and fully nnd heartily accept the Ilible according 1 to the Apostolic and only declaration of the I : nature of Divine Inspiration : "All Scripture I J is given by inspiration of God n:id Is profit- J ! able fordoctrlne, for reproof, for correction for i l instruction in righteousness; that the inan p of God may be pcrfect, thoroughly furnished j unto nil good works." I believe that as true! understanding of God's work in the outward ? suid material world can be gained only by ! ? careful study or facts of nature, so the true! e view of the inspiration of Scripture is to be i * .ruined not by theories or traditions uui oy a i rigorous study of the fuels?Its structure, i ? origin, the nature of its contents ; nnd thin is J t> the more necessaly in that the book as we >1 liold it now was not an immediate and comI' pleted gift ol God to man, but wasa trrowth of e ages; it wax written by different languages,! with centuries of intervals between part and J part, and the chief substunce of Its truth was conveyed by the Divine mind to the humnn i mind in the way in which God ordinarily > imparls the truth; through human experience. ' I believe that the Bible is largely a record of I history.and In this respect must be studied as we study any history ; that it contntnsa large - measure of poetry, and that that is to be ac cepted not as science but us wejiccipt and use poetry ; that it Is largely a literature,and ts to e be construed us we construe literature, not as I s an exact science; that It is a record of instii* tut ions, laws, worships, which haveanswered ', their cudsnnd pa>Kcdaway;atid that Iherefore - dltlere!it|part* cf thescriimiro have dltterent I degreesot value. The Ten Commandments f are of more value to us than the account of! the trimmings oftlie sanctuary ; the teaching ; of Jesus Cii rift are of larger scope and of, more value that the teachings of Moses: tho . narratives of the Gospels are more valunblel 1 Iliatt historiesofUuth and Esther, beautiiulus j r these are. In other words, different parts of, " the Scripture have dltlerent values, and men |' 1 are competent and permitted to Judge of their | vaiue and use them as they fit the exigencies * of their lives. 1 I believe that the moral and spiritual 1 Cachings of tho Sacred Scripture : were subject to the same law of unfolding | as was its outward form and that j 1 that the Ideas of purity, truth, Justice, duty, 11 1 of manhood, of the Divine nature, of destiny, I 1 reward, retribution and Immortalilv were, " progressive, and are seen to be In the J-flble as |1 * a "rising light, shining brighter and brighter | 1 unto the perfect day ;" and that the later and i ' developed moral truthsare not to be interpret-1' 1 od by the earlier, but the earlier by tho fuller ! * form of the later. I hold, with all the Church, ! ' that the Scripture is not a guide to scientific |' knowledge; that It record# the best conccp- ' > iions from period to period of scientific truths { . thnt it does no violence I! to the spirit of truth to accept the fuller disclosures I of physical truths which God In ' ' making In our day over those recorded In an s earlier age. I do not bclelve that Inspiration ' has ceascd. I believe that Clod's Holy Spirit . > still moves upon the hearts of men, and truth is (.till sprouting, growing, blossoming and bearing precious fruit in the minds and lives 1 of his people : and while the light vouchsafed L' to the Individual lsonly for thofcomfort and - guidance of the Individual, and without auihorlly on the conscienccs of others, yet r* when such truth has gone through the ex perlence of multitudes, and has proved ltseflf f not special and personal, but wide and unlverr sal,Itbecomesofvalueand.ofblndlngauthorl! ' ty though has nocotniuand In Scripture. That ? the truthf|of Scilpture are to be.'d i scorn wl, understood aud taught according tothe moral f sense of God's people In every age enlighten ed by the Holy Spirit. And ladopttho lanT guage of the Westminister Confession, with y many parts of which I do not tlnd myself in e agreement: y "The supreme Judge by which all controls versles of religion arc to be dotermlncd, and J f all decrees of councils, ancient writers, doc- j - trlncs of men, and private spirits are to be ex-1 amlned, and lu whose sentence,\ve are .to rest, I >' can be no other than the Holy Spirit spcrtki' ing In the Scripture." - Speaking, that Is, to Jilvlng menjwho inter! pretScrlnturc by the truth grown lip around r them In their own experiences. That a pere slstent disregard of the structure, nature and genius of the Bible tends to rob it of Its true c power; to carry men back to bondage ; to set s? them against the even working of the lnsplra^ lion of God going on in each age; to tempt men to hide their eyes from the light and to p introduce a wrestling casuistry Into Interpre '* tation which demoralizes the reason and t shuts tho ears of men to what (iod has to say to them in every age. With increasing years and wider experience I moreand|more value this book, as containing the highest moral (ruths to which the human mind has been ad inltted; and from Its beginning to Its end It enables the sincere ana intelligent man to ' know whnt Is evil and tosbunlt,and toknowj what Is goou anu 10 ioiiuw ii. j unu, ?nu j ci 1 greater emphasis than when the Apostles - wrote it, it Is u book by which a man of Ciod I may be "thoroughly furnished unto every . good word and work." I believe that every man is born without t holiness, without intelligence, without moral ? sense, without emotions or paaions, but with,a . capacity for all of them-which is to be developed by after-growth. That by God's decree or creation man came gradually to the knowledge of his laws in nature and in human soi* ciety; and that of necessity men are violating - divine laws through ignorance and inexigo> rlence, and that such violations of law are - infirmities. That as men come to years or I discretion and knowingly violate God's laws i theysln. And I beleive that the whole hu? man race, universally, always, in all times and places, does siu. and is sinful, in various , degrees and In a various intensity of guilt, aud that this ignorance, perverse disobedience and sin are such as to require divine iuterpo sitlon for correction and for forgiveness. And that is my faith us to human sinftiluess. I believe that God exerta an Influence upon . the human *oul by which it is softened, and made willing to all good and averse to all evil t and that men are callcd In Sacred Scripture, - and equally by their reason and moral sense, > to seek this revelation und inspiration, by ) which their whole nature comesunder Divine influence and is changed gradually from sin . to pcrfect holiness. And that is my belelf in the doctrine of conversion. I believe that God is unsearchable ; that his . belnglles outslde;of humanJ;omprehrnslon In i this state of exlsteuce; that, neverthele*, we| . may ot tain a partial and fragmentary view of ' itwHh the certainty that in every direction l the divine nature is nobler, purer, more au mlrable and lovable than reason imaelnatlon. or experience can conceive. I belelvo that God revealed himself gradually as well as partially, and that he Is still revealing himself, through the experience of - mankind and though the revelatlan of his material kingdom. While In the Old Testa' ment, as against a plurality of gods, Jehovah was revealed as one God, in the New Testl, ment the Intimations are. that God exists as Father, son and Holy Ghost. ThisJIs a condition of being transcending our experience, \ but not without furelooklng analogies. Without attempting to analyze and define the 1 nature of the Dlvlneexlstence, I accept jib the : best,idea 1 can get of the Interior economy of ' God's nature the unity of God in a trl-person: alliy. But I do not regard the acceptance of \ this view iis nocessary to growth toward splr' itunl manhood or to acceptance with God. > The church did without It for four thousand yoars; men may live without It and yet be L' | good men; while, for myself, I accept It as the 2 easiest luterpretatlon of the varied represen/! tatlons of the Now Testament,and I therefore '! believe and preach the Trinity. u I believe heartily in the Divinity of Jesus | Christ. I reject as unscrlptual thodoctrlne of i r a human soul and a Jdlvlne soul, as set forth I lu the Altlukiiaslan creed. and believe that!) I the essential nature of jChrlst was divine ; < ''Simple, pure, uncompounded, nnd thnt soi] "! much of Divinity as oould be manifestedund, ; | expressed under the limitations of material ] j laws and In a human body were made known j j In hlrn; but that the earthly existence of t ] r | Christ did not give forth, nor conld give, the; whole of his Divine nature. He was mor# I ( than he appeared. I do not demand of any a < technical adhesion to a fact whoso philosophy i _ I must always be obscure, but I do Insist upon i ' the duty, the privilege, and the safety of ren- i < i1 tiering to Christ all the homage of love, fldel-! | 1. lty and obedlenceof which the soul In capable; 1 ' | and the assuming for our own Uvea his spirit,, < | disposition, doctrines and precepts, andobedl- ] L! cjieeto his commands. I regard them as tl?o,? * very essence of Christina religion. 11 I I bclelvo in the Holy Ghost, 1 rogard the ' > Divine inlnd as an active Influence perviulnir | * theunlvei-se^andespeclMlly as the soureeofall i 1 superior human activity. In a figure he may I 1 be said to be, like the sun, the source of all 1 i growth. The divine sj lrlt 1h universal, lm-;i ; iiiannit, revelatory. stimulating and 11fr?-1 1 Klvtnu.

They were an illustrlons exposition of nn eternal fact?an exposition ol atonement, and not tho atonement Itself. I beiievo it whs the erection of a system of living iniluencc designed to act. not upon Ood, or his law, or upon the public sentiment of the universe, hut upon the heart of uinn; that the life, teachings, and death of Christ were simply Instruments by which the heart of man might be Interested and affected. The | beauty of holiness, the attractive sweetness of Divine love, the brooding care and kindness of everlasting strength toward weakness and wickedness? the-e were the Influences flowing from the life and sufferings of Christ. And now, from out of the subtleties, the puerilities, the tangle of medla'val and modern theology, 1 go hack heartily and embrace the sublime simplicity of the Apostles' Creed: "I believe In God, the Father Almighty, Mukerof heaven and earth . "And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord ; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, sutiered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and hurled; he descended into hell4; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sltteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. "I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy rath olic Church; the communion of saints; tne forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.'' If I am a heretic I am a heretic after the pattern of the early church. As to retribution. I helleve that conduct in this world has a distinct and powerful Influence upon the condition and happiness of man In the world Income ; and that the Old Testament did not tench the doctrlius'of retribution hereafter as a motive part of truth. It Is also a fact that the New Testament does teach it expllcity. I believe that Christ did so t<ach when he declared with solmcnity and earnestness that the penalty of wickcness in the world to coine was such as to warn every transgressor, and should be a motive to every good man .to turn back his fellows from evil, llcyond that, as to the method, the duration, the llnal outcome of penalty, 1 do not think that all the passages that we have been tuught to beilere as teaching of inferring conscious torment as any sueli final outcome do not teach it, and are not rightly construed when they are made to teach it. Whatever I . believe beyond the slmplo statement of our I.ord that the consequcnccs in this life go over and are terrible In the life to coinc whatever is beyond this, the explicit Scripture, is o belief founded upon analogy, philosophy, Ac., and Is an opinion, and not aidcllnite knowledge. This is the point which discriminates between my position and that of Unlversnllsts Restorations, Annihlatlonists and Itctrlbutionlsts. They hold their respective views os dogmas; * 1 " ? <U.? onfhnrtfv nf Hint, is, as iari~s uami un ....... Scripture. I hold retribution as Scrlptnre. 1 hold simple retrlbutlonJusSerintural, but Its nature and Its results 1 hold simply by conjecture. and not by dogmatic assumption. They ore my opinions, they are very positive, but they do not pretend to bo founded upon express Scriptuarl warrant. I believe that what Scripture teaches Is that evil ;done here does not cease with death, but goes over, with pains and penalties, beyond. 1 have now igone over very briefly the chief points which are usually lncludcd|ln evangelical creeds. Allow me to say now, Jas a matterof personality, a few things, which i hope in view of the wide publicity given to my preaching both by those whoaretn sympathy with me and tho>o who are not, will notscem Immodest or out of place. First, the root of my ministry has not been ecclesiastical, nor doctrinal, nor theological. All my whole public life as a religious Jteacher has sprung from a profound, ineradicable and growing sympathy with the description given in Hebrews, chapter v., .verse "Who can have compassion on the Ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity." While I hare not sought to avoid speculation, while at times I .have been profoundly Impressed with the various theories, doctrines, systems and ascertainments of duys gone by, yet I have not made there things my study; but my life has been given U> man, his nature, his needs, the methods of arousing him, inciting him and building hlui up into godliness, thoroughly furnished unto every good work. My study and my sympathy have been toward inj fellow man; and whatever I thought would do good I have preached, and whatever I lelt to have no usefulness (In it I have neglected, whatever thechurch may have done, i have never claimed to be all-sided, never claimed that all men should do Just, as I do. 1 have scorned the idea-of the sectarian, and the founding of sect. I nave defended, advocated and gloried in the liberty of other men; 1 have neverdefended my own. I have simply taken it, and used it. Hut I have never demanded that my liberty should be the law i?f any otherii.an's'conselence. I have sought to persuade but never compel. I have never dreamed of representing the old theology, or the modern theology, or anybody's theology hut my own ; and have only touched other theologies when they stood in the way of what I wanted to expound. I do not think It fair, therefore, that my views should be taken is representative. I have never preached them iis representatlveof any church or creed or as anything but my views and representations, under Uod, for the purpose of making you better. In regard tothc fundamental facts of human character, condition and destiny, In regard still in ore to the spirit, enterprise and work of tvangellcal denominations, I think I am In sympathy ami suttlcient agreement with each to allow fellowship with evangelical Christian denominations. But this Is not for meto sny. It Is for them, not forme, I should . ? .. ?. i i,? De giaa 10 euinu wim im-iu , i ? ? ? ;ible to stand without thorn, I do not m^an tills In any derision. I love them with the tenderest nnU most fraternal a flection, and re(olee in the prosperity of churches whose economy I could not administer, whose doctrines I could not advocate; and 1 should be glud if they saw that innie and my teaching which should enable them to be 111 full fellowship with me. If, 011 the oilier hand, they have good reason to believe me dangerous, neither;they nor all the world csui put me out of Christ's fellowship." If It shall by common consent be thought that my teachings or philosophy are at dangerous disagreement with those of the Christian public to which 1 have belonged, and that some form of exclusion would be best?even so, I should not oppose. I shall ,not defend my doctrines in controversy, but 1 shall preach thetu. I shall not go back, to make peace, and take back anything I have seriously and earnestly taughU I shall not seek any the less anxiously for clearer light, for more powerful moral Influence*) to be brought to bear upon the souls of men. I will not engage,In controversy. I will not defend my right to say what Uod puts it In my heart tospeak. I will not try to break down every misrepresentation that a fertile imagination may start.

Dr. Grier : Dear Brother?Mr. Informed me last evening of the report current at Due West that I spoke disparagingly of the Associate Reformed Church at Davidson College, N. C., on a recent occas'on, charging them with narrow-mindedness and bigotry. At the Commencement I met a large party one day at Prof. Blake's dinner table, and U> my immediate neighbor I made a remark which lias occasioned this report, but I think, when I tell you exactly what I said, you will see I feel that my Associate Reformed brethren have no reason whatover to object to it. The remark was, that one who comes to us from the Baptist church generally makes a better Presbyterian thRn one who come* from the Associate Relorined, The reason I based lion whs hub: ine associate neiorniea in narrower and stricter In Its views tlinn our church. If one leaves your church for ours It is apt to be bccause he prefers more slackness to so much strictness, and coming tons to secure more liberty, he Is very much In dancer of laking loo much liberty and going off Into loose views and opinions. Accordingly, he Ih likely to be a slack twisted Prewbyterlan, which, I thlDk, Is a poor kind of a Preshytorlan. On the contrary when one comes to us from the Baptisis who nave no church creed, aud you and I will agree no rigid church government. It Ik apt to be because he Is disgusted with too little strictness of doctrine and discipline. He wants more of that thing, and he generally makes a good hard shell, high church Presbyterian. Now, my dear brother, tell me if I said anything that Is bad of my Associate Reformed friends, or If I renlly have disparaged them In comparison with our Uaptlst Brethren ? You heard what I preached at Duo West about I^atitudlnarianisin and Bigotry. Do you Judge that I lack respect for a man or a church that earnestly maintains whatever he or It believes to be true? Ask Dr. Martin, who accompanied mo. If T did not And It difllcult to give expression to the ladmiratlon which was excltod in my mind by what Isawand heard that afternoon. I saw your people crowd Into a church of a hot summer afternoon and listen lnteutly without one indication of sleepiness to a dry Rernion; and I heard such singing of your 1'salmsaB I do not believe can bo equalled In any of our congregations, or those of any other church that 1 know of. I respected your people before; I learned that evening to be lllled with admiration of them. I am well knowu in my church to have long been anxious to see your body and ours become ouo: I [feel more desirous of it now than I evi r did. Why ? For several reasons, among thf in, because I think you would stltlen our backbone considerably. Your conscientious earnest ness for what you believe, I don't nick-name bigotry ; but I would to Ood the Presbyterian -hurch had a great deal more of bigotry, if that is the article. And now let mo Fay In all candor, tlmt In ine particular I fear that my good brethren at Due West, as well the brethren at some of >ur Presbyterian centres of Influence, are iowlng some seed, the harvesting of which will yet he with sorrow. I do not believe In iruining young ladles lor public speaking, or jack to the latitude from whence it came to 18.

The alarm of fire was sounded, and soon the cry of fire spread from mouth to mouth, until every citizen of the town was aroused and out of bed, wlrcn many hurried to the scene and aided in removing the furniture and rendering such other services as might be i needed. In a little while the contents of the house, in a somewhat brokon condition, was thrown into tho street in front of the dwelling.

From lftSO to ISfiO a majority of tlio fine houses of tiie town wereerected, and within tho past dcoade, from 1870 to 1SS0, it seems that nearly tlio whole of them liavo been destroyed by tiro. Wo will mention a few of the finer and more oxpensive buildings that haye boen destroyed in lhat time. Tho Marshall Hotel on the corner of the Fublic Square, brick, three stories high, was burned; four of the seven brick stores on Granite Range were uestroj'eu a year later; sinco then the fine residence of Dr. J. W. W. Marshall on Magazine Hill was also destroyed ; later still the elegant mansion of the late Thomas C. iPerrin, the finest residence in upper South Carolina, was burned ; and now the dwelling of Colonel J. T. Robertson has become food for the devouring element. Colonel Robertson's dwelling was one of two of the largest and most expensive dwellings in town, and occupied a commanding eminence, surrounded by an elegantgrowth of trees of every variety. In its destruction one of the ornaments of the town has been removed. The loss of such a building is to be lamented by every friend of the town. This will be remembered as the dwelling which the Hon.

An incident of tho fire was the burning of tho Colonel's faithful watch dog Leo, which remained in ono of the rooms, and whoso piteous cries were enougli to touch tho heart of the least susceptible. All efforts to removo hiin or to induce him to leave the room was fruitless. lie remained and perished. Colonel Robertson had no insuraneo on his furniture.

' The democratic canvass has opened like the icorking of a champagne boltle, with a / ilrranda fizz and a gush of foam. The >vel accomplishment of nominating a Presl- < ntlal candidate by a spasm of common 1 use after twenty years' prevalence of pollti1 lunacy in the party was Invigorating, te suddenness of the feat, the unexpected ipetuoslty with which all the Cincinnati legates, sane and Insane. rushed Into coil- | rrence upon General Hancock, added to . c exhilaration. Finally, the popular recep- ' jn of the nomination, even hy republican*, a respectable one, was so unwonted a sentlun that It has turned democratic heuds 1 id made them frisky. To trust the talk In ' elr conferences and the boasts In their ] >wspnper organs one would lmiiglne that the , nvuss Is a "walk over." that the four Interring months before election are "but as one iy" and that all that remains to be done by 1 for jenerul Hancock Is to pack his trunk 1 id sit on the lid, waiting for an expressman 1 check It to Washington and deliver it at 1 e Whlte-Honve. [f thl* absurd exuberance docs not speedily Kite the spectators will be apt to get an Im- J cesloii that the return or uomocraiic snnny r?H only temporary and the party has sufl'era relapse. The powerful, proud, compact ' ganlzatlon of the icpubllcans, tlushed with re successive Presidential triumphs, expeBiiced In all the methods by which electoral suits are achieved, and led by sajjactous pol- 1 clans, whose offices, emoluments, Influence potation, nil haiic In the balance, Is not to ousted by a mere hurrah or by the beat Inn tom-toms. The walls of Jericho will not mble at the bla*t of ramp' horns, and the , mparts are held by veteran troops directed r competent commanders. For a steady Ink during the campaign we recommend a 111 wine, of sound body to the democrats In cfcrencc lo the froth which they are kubInp at this moment.

Hut It Is useless to speculate upon a colpscd contlneency. The occasion for brrnk? was avoided and every republican faction forming Into a common line of battlo. The infatuation that the republicans are sorganized is one of the most idiotic feaires of the present democratic condition of cuberant inebriety. Multiplication of obctsln the field of vision is a symptom of all Inds of drunkenness, political and person. Because au occasional unimportant rejblican here and there ho* signified his Inntlon early to vote for General Hancock it a Billy Inference that the party is going to eces. Sporadic instances of the transfer of irtisan allegiance always occur In Presldenal campaigns, and always are exaggerated, nd It Is Just as Irrational to Impute dlsnftecon to General Grant because ho Is making a unmer trip to Colorado or to 8enator Conkng because he Is trolling for muscalongo at lexandrla Kay Instead of sweating around le republican headquarters In Fifth Avenue at their branch office In Chicago. The preisterous delusion which the democrats have ;en hugging about General Grant and some his most ardent friends, that they are dlsfected towards the party because they prer to take thelrHummer Juunts in July Inead of later In the season. Is already rccollg.
