The man running on the Presidential ticket with General Grant for Vice-President is evidently a second edition of Orator Poff, who had two tones to his voice. In Wilmington, North Carolina, a few days ago Senator Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, said: "If you allow a Democratic victory you will put a burden on our shoulders that will make us stagger." When he arrived in Cincinnati, Mr. Wilson remarked that "if the Liberals have not carried it by 20,000 majority it will have to be regarded as a Republican triumph." There is no use in spending words on such a candidate.—Charleston Republican.
