Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Wards
voted for Bullen. Then there sprung
up a muss in the Third Ward. There
had previously been one in the Eighth
Ward. In the Third speeches were
made by Stackhouse, Lew. Stinson,
Taylor, Gill Shanklin. and Joe Over
all. McAvoy wanted to know if
Overall had ever cast Democratic
vote, and the excitement became
alarming. Then the Chairman threat
ened to adjourn the Convention.
The Bullen men of the Third
Ward finally prevailed, and the six
votes of that Ward were given to
Tom. BulIen, who was declared the
nominee.
Tom was called up, but being no
speakist, only thanked them for nom-
mating him.
Whittlesey then announced that
the Democrats had declined to nomi-
nate a candidate for Councilman in
the Eighth Ward. as Relker had
bolted the Republican nomination,
and asked everybody to vote for him.
At 11:45 P. n, Shanklin moved
that the animals retire, and the insti-
tute closed. It was a gloomy day. or
rather night, for an exhibition Of the
4" Happy Family" and the end is not
yet. A careful analysis of the ticket
will show its great inherent weakness.
The Irish element manifestly had the
inside track, while the German was
almost entirely ignored.

Disgraeeful Scramble for once,


A most disgraceful commentary is
afforded by the death of Mr.. Eli, late
ly appointed United States Marshal
for the Eastern District of Pennsylva-
mia. His sudden death had scarcely
happened, before the favored few who
received the intelligence began to
sweep down on Washington like 8
flock of hungry vultures on carcass
in the desert, and by the time his de-
cease was generally announced, it is
said that more than hundred persons
set about procuring for themselves the
place thus made vacant. The fnnera
took place one day, and the next Mr.
Eli's-successor was appointed.

Negro Amalgamation with the whites,

Negro AmaIgamation with the Whites.
AT the anti slavery yearly anniver-
sary which is still held in New York,
although there isno slavery to abolish,
the negro, Frederick Douglass, said,
according to the telegraphic report in
the Associated Press:
&c That what the negro race claimed
was fair play and no fayor-a right to
vote and be voted for. He incidental
ly alluded to the amalganaatioa Of the
acIsite and negro races, qolich he said
acos certain totolloac the granting ne
9roes social and political equality.
Notwithstanding the rdisavowal by
some friends ofthe negro, he believed
it would produce beneficial results
We call particular attention to. the
lines we have italicised. Mr.. Doug
lass is right. Amalgamation of the
negro and white races is, indeed, cer-
tain to follow the granting to the ne
gro of political any social equality,
This truth has always been foreseen
by those who have opposed, step by
step, the negro acknowledgements in this
country. But it has been denied by
its friends. They have always claim.
ed that there was no necessary con.
nection between political and socia
negro and white equality and amalga
nation of the white and. negro races
That the denial was always an admix
ture of folly and ignorance we never
doubted. It may be hard for a MAJ
of virtue to take the first step toward
vice and ruin, but, that accomplished
all the subsequent proceedings follow
as a matter of course.
Political and social enfranchisemen
of the negro means future amalgama
ton of the races. Let no one be de
ceiyed. He can not, if he keeps hi
eyes open to the progress of events
If there are any evils in amalgama
ton between whites and blacks-ant
/ who that has ever seen the produc
will doubt it?-then all exertion
ought to be directed against its con
summation. This is to be done, ant
only to be done, by voting down tn
negro suffrage and social enfranchise
ment proposition. This is admitted
by Mr.. Douglass, the great negro ad
yocate of the rights of his race.-En

The Republican Party-Its Dissolution
Predicted by Radical.
The New y ork Sun in an article on
the future of the Republican party,
gives the following history of the rise
and fall of the two great parties that
have controlled the Government since
the adoption of the Federal Constitd-
ton:
"A Democratic party has existed in
this country since the close of the rev.
olutionary war; and it is a singular
fact, worthy of the serious considera-
ton of Republicans, that the opposi-
ton to that party has changed its
name, its principles and its leaders
about every eighteen years since our
independence was achieved. Wash
ington and Adams led Ia conservative
opposition to the Democratic idea, as
expouneed by Jefferson, from the ter
mination of the revolutionary struggle
down to the defeat of Adams in 1900.
Then the opposition assumed the name
ofFederalists, and, under the guidance
first of Alexander Hamilton and then
of Rufus King, resisted the Demoera-
cy till the final overthrow of the Fed
eral party in 1918. The opposition
then changed their front, modified
their doctrines, and changed their
name, and under the leadership of
John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay,
were called National Republicans for
about eighteen years, when having
been prostrated by the party which
rallied around the standard of jackson
they reorganized under the name of
Wings, and followed the lead and
shared the fortunes of Clay and Web
ster for eighteen or twenty years
thereafter. In 1854, having lost hope
and courage, and having dropped into
q powerless minority, the opponents
of the Democracy taking advantage of
the vicious position which that organ
ization had assumed on the subject OF
slavery, formed the Republican party
and, following the banner first OF
Seward and then of Lincoln, became
the dominating power in the coun-
trs through the secession of the South
ern States, which had previously been
the strongholds OF the Democratic
party. tl
Now remembering these historical
cycles which have constituted the
lifetime of the various parties that al
different periods of our national ca.
reer have stood in opposition to the
Democracy, it is q, fact worthy OF
consideration that the Republican or
ganization will have existed exactly
eighteen years on the occurrence O.
the next Presidential election.-I
would be in accordance with all thu
precedents if in the contest of 1872 tn,
opposition to the long-ived Democ
racy should suffer signal defeat, ant
+ Immediately afterward change it
name, its principles, and its leaders

l Republican party was organized, tn

other ideas of which it is composed

Y pend upon the wisdom, the hberalit,

y folly has already confirmed the powe
o of their antagonists; and it is possibl
it that it may do so again.
