"A77S2 TSS BATTLE, L::rH2S."
It is fun to watch the opposition
what you call 'em newspapers, trying
to fasten the blame on each other. Th
New York Tribune, which may be called
from the Liberal wing, now, we suppose,
says it is all ths old Democrats fault that
Greeley was beat, and plainly states that
the Liberal strength was neutralized by
Democrats who would not cat crow while
they could get $5 to $20 each, for not
eating it. Wise folks these Democrats
must be, easy bought, according to the
Tribune, for it says, "nothing purcbasa-
ble in the Keystone State was left un
bought."
The Missouri Republican an old line
Democratic sheet goes for the Liberal
this way ; "There was next to no Liberal
rank and file in the fighte, xcept in 111.,
and Ohio the Liberal masses were dis
astrously few." It calls the Liberal
leaders, such as Schurz, Trumbull and
Sumner, "Insurgent Chiefs,"' and says
the Democratic allies came, but the Re
publican followers, whose support they
should have had, came not. Thus each
accuses the other of being the lame
duck, and the unkindest cut of all the
Republican also says: "Mr. Sumner,
with 05,000 majority against him in his
own State, and Vice-President Wilson
overshadowing hiui will sink into the un
influential and powerless position he oc
cupied under the old Democratic ascend
ency fifteen years ago." There's rich
ness for you ! Truly, Democratic Re
publics might prove ungrateful !

The Missouri Republican thinks the
Baltimore Convention did the business
for Greeley It says:
"'The Baltimore convention did not
intend to kill the movement ; but it did
effectually kill it. It imagined that its
own powerful protectorate would
strengthen the rebellion; but it was the
dentlvpf it. All that the movement re
quire'! was to be left alone. It contained
within itself every conceivable element
of a powerful and destructive schism.
It needed no indorsement, no formal ap
proval. no protection ; it needed nothing
but to be left to its own resources, with
Ferfect freedom of action and appeal.
t should have led in the battle ; indeed,
it should have occupied the whole field
and made the whole fight, assuring itself
only of the united support of the friend
ly reserve of three million Democratic
mnskcts, at the final charge. Had this
course been pursued, not one .of those
Democratic muskets would have been
wanting in the crisis, end the Liberal
part3r instead of being a party of a score
of leader, would have been a hoH five
hundred thousand strong. The De
mocracy should not have made a nomi-.
nation, at all ; it snoulu have tor
mally and conspicuously withdrawn from
the field, annDunccd its resolution not to
make a contest for the presidency, either
with its own candidate, i r any other can
didate, and thus yielded fighting-ground
to any foe of tho administration that
might take its place. This was the
'passive policy.' "

By reference to our telegraphic col
umns of yesterday and today, our read
ers will gather fall accounts of the be
ginning, progress and final arrest of the
ravages of the great Fire King, wt:ich
for the fourth time within a very short
period has devastated portions of our
country. The Portland fire was followed
by that of Chicago, almost eimultane
ously with which came the fire in the
lumber regions of the lakes ; and now
this one at Boston, which although not
equal in extent to that of Chicago, has
consumed more valuable property.
Th portion burned contained some of
the finest blocks of stores aud ware
houses to be found on the continent.
The amount of property destroyed is
differently , estimated, but will probably
come in the neighborhood of one hun
dred millions, perhaps even more.
There will be less Buffering from in
clemency of weather than in Chicago, as
but comparatively few dwelling houses
were burned, the fire being confined
mostly to the business parts of the city,
The telegraph reports already chroni
cle the noble efforts of sister cities to re
live as far as possible the sufferings of
the burning city, foremost among which
is Chicago, showing her to be rightly
mindful of the help that was given in
her time of nod, and anxious to return
it as far as possible.

Thet. Louis Goisays: The great
fire enforces fresh attention to means of
protection against such fearful disaster.
The subject now assumes startling mo
ment. The lacts by which the Chicago
horror was explained a high wind,
flames beginning in a frame tenement
quarter, aud a general insubstantiaiity or
structure these cannot ue anegeu, as
they were in the case of Chicago. No
wind was stirring. The flames started
in a massive graiute-built quarter and m
Ko-oalled fire-nroof blocks. The vast
amount of combustibles in the burning
building heated it so intensely and blaz
ed from the roof so tremendously that
the adjoining buildings caught at the
roofs, lusher than the hremen couta
work with effect, and in this way the
destruction raged. Ingenuity must now
devise better security against the con
flagration of cities.
The papers ar full of the great fires.
The Insurance Co.'s are badly demoral
ized. It is thought the old Etna and
Phffinix of Hartford may sueenmb
this time. Ten thousand working girls
are thrown out of employment.
It is proposed to call on the Govern
ment for aid. The St. Louis Republi
can takes a very gloomy view of the
matter, stating, that as Chicago has
been largely rebuilt by the aid ot Boston
capital, which will now have to bejwith
drawn, the result will be fatal to
Chicago and the business of the north
west This is overdrawn, we think; but
that it will seriously disarrange all busi
ness, increase the values of all goods,
and stop for a time many public improve
ments, especially railroad building, there
can be no doubt.

doubled during the past year; proving that the

The publishers are authorized to announce
designs from many oi the most eminent artists
of America.
In addition, TilE ALDINE will reproduce

The quarterly tinted plates, for 1ST3, will
reproduce four of John S. Iavi' inimitable
child skotchos, appropriate to the four eeasons.
These plates, appearing iu the issues for Janu
ary, April, July and October, would be alone
worth the price of a year' subscription.
The popular lcature of a copiously illustra
ted "Christinas" number will be continued.
To possess euch a valuable epitome of the art
world at a cost so trilling, will command the
subscriptions of thousands in every section of
the country; but, as the usefulness and attrac
I of THE ALDINU can be enhanced, in Droior-
portion to the numerical increase of iu support-
toe puonsirers propone to make assurance
