ON the evening of the 2d day of next .June? (Jen. Grant will be the nominae for the Presidency of the United States on the Republican ticket.

WHKN men think Gen. Grant cannot pull through a tight place just lot them east their mind's eye on the Southern Confederacy flftee* years ago and see if he didn't pull through some tight places then. A man who has no opposition as a general rule don't amount to much, and this will apply to politics a* well as to ordinary affairs.

Gu ANT has now H4."5 votes pledged for him, and yet Republicans cry for him to withdraw. Why should he withdraw

Why not Blaine. withdraw? It takes a very smart man to see why Grant should withdraw with such an array of delegates pledged for him. If any one can furnish in the logic for such a proceeding, we would be glad to Juive it. Grant Is acting n* ft wise man should act. Seeing that the whole country is enthusiastic for his nomination, he will stand by them and come out more thnn victor.

BRIBERY.

The NKWS will not tolerate corruption in the city affairs if it is possible to prevent it or to expose it. In the bribery case of which so much has been said this morning, we stand ready to defend the innocent and prosecute the guilty. If this bribery business Is the tall end of the old ring the people want to know it. and we take the opportunity to say to the people that the truth of this matter will be thoroughly investigated and exposed, let it fall where it mar.

Tnu Ktufern lUimtiitian contains the following. A clerical ass in Temp Haute—and he is an acquaintance of the writer—fancies that Elijah's mantle has fallen upon him and that he needs most prophecy. In his last Sunday's Sermon on the "Mistakes of IngrmolV* he sny» that "Ingersoll will die like a dog and be buried like a jack as* We know a certain clergymen who lives like a jack***, talk* like a jacka**. and will, unless those Old Testament worthies were all astray, die like a dog and stand the saute chance of a resurrection. We have noticed that it always those clergymen who are the most ignorant, and whom ignorance on all topics safe one is balanced by an ungodlr teal who are so ready to attack what they do not understand—and we have also noticed that these parsons are invariable of the Methodist persuasion. The chief

grievuncr

of these fellows Is

that Ingersoll denies the existence of God and the aottl'* immortality. Ingersotl doe* nothing of the kind—he is neither an atheist nor a materialist —and we will pnwnt a circus ticket to any clergyman who will point out a wor\i in Ingersoll ritinr* in prnof of their charge*

THE QXEAT BRIBE TAKES. The Councilman Mr. Harrison* should be Impeached by the Council at iCs regular meeting. If after a careful investigation it is proven that he took a bribe from any one. It makes no difference whether he carried out his contract, the simple question is was he offered money to do a certain thing, and did he receive the consideration, and it doesn't matter who offered the bribe nor for what purpose, the simple question is. did he accept iL It appears that he did therefore let us investigate. Make Mr. Harrison rise and show his hand. We understand that Mr. Harrison took a $300 note, and the fact that he acaceepted the note leaves him just as guilty of receiving a bribe as if he had accepted and kept the money Any man who would allow anybody to talk to him even about a bribe, is worse than the man who offers it Honest men are not found talking and discussing the question about receiving a bribe. An honest man would not permit anyone to approach him on such a subject.

Query: Had the money been paid in stead of the note would we ever have heard of the matter?

PROSCRIPTION AND WAR.

If there hs anything we do admire more than another, it in pluck—courage to defend one's interests and rights against all odds. And we have it special admiration for editorial pluck—that is the genuine article.

We are led to the above philosophical reflections from an article which appeared in the "reduced size" this morning.

It seems the

Erprexn

is about

The editor of the

not

to get

any city patronage and the "Little Editor'' is aroused. He dares them not to give him some patronage. He quotes Kitz •James* celebrated remark to Roderick Dhu and Shakespeare's "scathing rebuke." He works himself tip to a towering passion ami declares it his intention to make that the issue in the coming campaign.

Exprenx

has at last

found an issue for the coming fight in this county, which he can fully comprehend. It is, will the city give him two dollars and fifty cents of advertising, or will it not, that is the

question. Now let the

two parties govern themselves accordingly. The editor of the Expre**

makes the

issue and comprehends it. We must say however that we will not undertake to make the issue in the coming fight wholly upon the question of whether a Democratic Council and board of Commissioners will give us puhlitf print ing. we propose to take them on their record, their mal administration.

THE following special was received by the Chicago Inter-Ocean last night. It will be seen that Grant will have control of the Springfield Convention beyond question.

The following dispatch from I). A. Ray, of Springfield, one of the best posted men in the State, has been received at the Inter Ocean office to-night: "Interviews with a number of Grant delegates from several central counties show a general feeliug that the State Convention can not consider the claims of either body calling itself the Cook County delegation. They agree that Cook County as a county has no more claim for representation than has the Presbyterian Synod that by the rule adopted two years ago the first seven Senatorial Districts of Illinois an. given representation under the call, and that the right to admission will depend upon the fact that they carried their Senatorial District that no County Convention of Cook County has any right or power to intervene and seat or unseat the delegates elected bv the primaries to the Senatorial District Convention under the rule now in force. "They deduce from this that the State Convention will pay no attention to either of the so-called County Conventions, but will seat those delegates who appear to have been elected by the parties who car ried the wards composing those Senator ial Districts. This course will give Grant about forty delegates, ami Blaine and Waahburne *toe remainder. "All parties now concede here that Grant will have the Convention aside from Cook County, by at leaat 1®) majority, The Blaine men aay that Far well's and Anthony's threats of bolting, if the State Convention excludes any of their delegates, are ridiculous and absurd, and that not a fraction of the Blaine or Waahburne men from the count!y dis tricts would follow them."

An Incident of the Great Cyclone. M&r*bflcl<i Letter in St. LoaU Po*i-DS«p*lrt. Little Georgie Smith, ft son of Orange, is a little hero. He is nine years of age. His leg was broken and a piece of a tree was driven through the palm of his hand, so that it had to he pulled out by force, indicting great pain. The doctors decided the leg must be amputated below the knee. They wanted little Oeorgte to be eloroformeu during the operation. He refused, and, indulging in a little profanity, in which he is proficient, said: "That's too thin ft will make me sick." He told them to go ahead. While his leg was being sawn off he never ut temi a groan or cry. but was quite cheer ful. The wood imbedded in the palm of the hand, was difficult to extract, and the doctors, knowing the pain it roust cause the poor little fellow, endeavored to do it gently. "You're a damn fine doctor," said George. "Why don't you pull it ootf* And they did. and got it out, white the boy never cried or shed a tear. He was a true little hero. A little child. Potter, whose father was killed, was in his ward. He Is two years old, and was Mown away by the, wind for half a mile ami lodged in the fork of a tree thirty feet high, and finally resetted.

SPRING GREETING

Spring has come, and considerably ahead of its usual time. Yet we have anticipated the coming, and are pleased to offer our customers and friends such a line of Clothing nnd Furnishings as has been rarely if ever seen in this market. Our shelves and counters are full.of beautiful goods, elegant in style, select in materials, nnd perfect in workmanship. Our ample capital and large resources have never availed us greater advantage in manufacturing clothing than at the present time, .and we propose to give our customers all the benefit from it that is possible.

Having preconceived the idea of a heavy advance in woolens, we bought largely of staples lefore the advance, and to-day we are able to offer to our customers these woolens manufactured into cloth at but a slight advance over last year's prices, and ^t least 20 per cent, less than other dealers can buy the same in New York.

Since occupying our present room our business has so vastly increased that we have been compelled to enlarge our already spacious room, that we may the better accommodate our daily increasing trade. The additions made are in the rear of our present room, and will be used exclusively as our Boys' and Children's Department, being neatly carpeted and furnished with chairs, sofas, tables, mirrors, etc.

We have never been fixed so well as now to add to the comforts and wants of our customers. In our selections of cloth, and manufacture of Boys' and Children's clothing, we certainly never had such an array of beauty in design of cloth and makeup in style as we are able to present to the citizens of Terre Haute and vicinity this Spring.

While others have croaked we have worked, and that our work has been effective, not only for our own benefit but for the good of the people at large, is attested by the generous patronage we have been accorded. Be assured it is cheering to receive such tokens of appreciation, and we shall not remit our efforts to merit them hereafter. We have no occasion to disparage our neighbors, and have no complaints to offer of honorable anil fair competition. We transact our business on strictly business principles buy in large quantities such goods as we do not manufacture at our own mills manufacture our own clothing sell to consumers at the same price that the New York Jobber charges the ordinary merchant. sell for cash only, and thereby save all loss from bad debts mark our goods in plain figures and never deviate therefrom have spacious store-rooms and gentlemenly salesmen with whom it is a pleasure to deal, and our guarantee is absolute and unqualified.

We shall be pleased to serve you. A personal visit will afford you more satisfaction than what we can say here, and we would most gladly welcome you in our new .quarters.
