A Few Anti-Bilious Remarks.

We have purposely .kept still on the third-term business during four weeks past. When we began to offer arguments against it we felt awful lonesome, for papers that had the nerve to do it were scarce. Now it’s the other way; we feel lonesome while everybody, except the LaFayette Journal, is pecking away in opposition to the strong man boom. Come, boys, let up; don’t strike a man when he’s down. But keep your powder dry for the next round.—Attici Ledger. Don’t slop, we beg of you on our account. As long as we are in such good company as the Chicago Inter Ocean, the New York Times, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the Cleveland Ledger, the Pittsburg Dispatch, the Burlington Hawkeye, and a host of other “tried and true” papers we shall not ask for quarter. O, not Tune up your blasted lyre and sail in. But you ask which are the better Republicans, those wlfo say “Anybody but Grant,” or those who Bay “Nobody bat Grant?”— We will give you our answer.— Neither class are Republicans. No true Republican but that will heartily support the Chicago nominee, be he Grant, Sherman, Blaine ar Somebody else. We have said nothing against any candidate who has been mentioned that would prevent a hearty support if he was nominated. But can you anti-Grant, ,bull-dozing, dog-in-the-manger fellows say as much? LaFayette Journal.
