WE have interviewed some of the
leading politicians on the subject OF
Governor. We find a strong feeling
in favor of Galloway. If no back
ward eddy sets in, Galloway will he
nominated by acclamation. We are
for Galloway. o-
We learn also that the fires burn
brightly for Noyes and Noyes is sure
to be nominated on the first ballot.
Noyes is such ringing speaker. We
are for Noyes.
1t seems also that there is n plous
element of the party at work for old
Ben Wade, and the old War Horse is
likely to walk over the course, head
and tail up. There will be no oppos.
ition to Wade in the Convention. We
are for wade.
In order to conclliate the pig iron
region, it is deemed Indispensable
that William Dennison should be
nomin ated for Governor. William
is what may be termed a progressive
protectionist, and he will suit people
all over the State. Everybody is GO
ing for Dennison, and he is the stron-
gest candidate now before the peo-
pie. We must bring out our strong
men, and Dennison is eminently
strong-a man of more than National
reputation. He will carry the Con-
vention with whirl. We are for
Dennison.
We can not excuse Garfield. He
will carry the State by ten Thousand
more votes than any other candidate
whose name has been mentioned in
connection with the nomination. The

SUMNER AND GRANT

From the New York Nation.
The great event of the week in pol
itics has been the removal Of Sum-
ner from the craftsmanship of the
committee on foreign affairs, which
was carried by a large majority
many of the Republican members who
were opposed to it abstaining from
voting, being unwilling to act yet be-
ing determined not to aid actively in
carrying it out. We have discussed
the matter elsewhere. The general
impression, as indicated by the news
papers at all events, seems to be tha t
it is, as regards the fortunes of the
administration, a fatal blunder, and
it has drawn forth a great many fiat
tering expressions of feeling about
Mr.. Sumner. His friends, who are
just now engaged in praising him,
and claiming indulgence for his
faults of temper and his mistakes. on
account of his past services to the
country, would do well to remember
that Gener'l Grant has some claims of
the same nature to indulgence and
forbearance. II may be that he
owes his place in the White House in
some degree to Mr.. Summers fidelity
to the principles Of the Republican
party but it is equally safe to say
that Mr.. Sumner owes his place in
some degree to Gen. Grant. The
question whether there should be
any Senate for Mr.. Sumner to sit in
was very holly debated about six
years ago, and We believe the stout
manner in which General Grant main
tanned the affirmative had much to dc
with the result. We are as fully alive
to Grants official faults as any body
but when HIS claims to national graf.
itude come to be compared with those
of any other man, we honestly con
fess we are rather oyerpowered by
the display he makes. As our Wash
] ington correspondent points out, the
orators have just now the advantage
of him, but he has stood in places
where he was worth more to thu
country than ten thousand orators.

SHERMAN'S .1SPEECH. ].
From the Hearld, Special.

From the Hearld. Specially
The debate on the condition of af-
fairs at the Senate was fairly opened
in the Senate to- day on the proposi-
ton of Senator Sherman.to instruct
the Judiciary Committee to report a
bill for the suppression of the Ku
Klux. Sherman himselfdelivered the
first speech. Il was very radical,
and took the broad ground that the
Ku Klux should be put down by the
strong arm of theGoyernment. Sher
man is not usually an extremist, nor
a sensationalist. Heis man of such
careful statement that what he says
general has great weight with his fel-
low senator's. Many of his col
lesgues were surprised to day to hear
his strong denunciation of the Ku
Klux, and not few came to the con-
clusion that there must be something
in it. Sherman informed the Senate,
before starting out, that he had given
the whole subject careful, patient
investigation, and what he was about
to say was the result of his deliberate
convictions. He confined himself to a
bare recital of facts, without attempt
ing to point out any remedy, except
IN general way. The remedy he
proposed to leave to the Judiciary
Committee. His speech received
marked attention, and is generally
spoken of to night as very able.
Senator Stevenson, of Kentucky, re-
piled to Sherman Unfortunately
for him, and for the Democratic side
of the Senate, he admitted nearly all
Sherman charged. He denied that
Kentucky was any worse than Other
! States, and asserted his willingness
to hunt down the Ku Klux, if tn re
| were any. Sherman turned the ia
bles on him by producing copy o.
| Steyenson's annual message while
Governor of Kentucky. wherein hi
distinctly admits the existence of bod
les ofarmed men whose combination.
are too powerful to be dealt with by
the civil law.

that at the most critical period of the re-
bellion, Senator Sumner headed sixteen
other Senators, and demanded of Presi-
ident Lincoln the dismissal of Secretary
Seward from the Cabinet for alleged
similar reasons. That gentleman prompt
ly resigned. But Senator'S vanity did
not allow him to follow the illustrious
example, but he appealed from the de-
cision of the Republican caucus to the
open Senate, and with result which
can be as little consoling to his pride as
to his hate. Secretary Stewards resigna-
ton was neither acceptable to the Presi-
dent nor the country. Senator Summers
resignation would have been to both.-

THE French horror Supplies the
world outside as well as the Thiers
Government. We know SO well the
savage ferocity of the cowardly
French mob that it is quite impossi
BILE to predict in what seas of blood
they may not wade. The most alarm
ing circumstance as yet made public
is that Minister Washburn, who
dared to remain in Paris oil through
the siege, has felt compelled TO retire
to Versailles, with all connected with
the embassy. The very proper mes
sage of President Grant in recogni-
ton of the German Empire might
easily be made a pretext for assassina-

Our Position in a Nut Shell.


We are in favor of rigid economy
in every department of expenditure,
whether it pertains to private or pub
lie business. We are in favor of pay
ing public servants reasonable saIa-
ries for services rendered. We are
10 favor of charging no more for work
performed for the public than for an
individual: We don't believe in in
c-easing the compensation of any
offices so long as good men can be
found willing to serve without such
an increase. We believe in cutting
down expenditures wherever axtrava-
gance prevails II salaries of public
officers are too high let means be
adopted tc cut them down, hit where
it may.
Economy, backed by industry and
brains has enriched individuals and
nations. Extravaganza has been the
ignominions ruin of both.

pathway across the two ranges of
mountains which tested so severely
the Pacific Railroads built on the GEN.
tral line, and The overcoming of which
reflected such well deserved honor on
their energetic builders. At the Deer
Lodge Pass. in Montana, where it
crosses the Rocky Mountains, its alti-
tude above the sea is $500 feet less
than than the Union Pacific Railroad
at Sherman, which is said to be the
highest point at which locomotive
can he found in the word. And ON
the Pacific side of the Continent it is
even more fortunate. From Arizona
| up to the Arctic Circle the Columbia
is the only river which has torn its
way through that mighty range, the
Andes of North America, which in
Califoria is known rs the Sierras, but
which in Oregon changes its nome TO
the Cascades. Nature has thus pro-
vided pathway for the Northern
Pacific Road through these mountains
the scaling of which, on the other line,
at an elevation of over seven thous.
and feet "a most wonderful triumph
of eDgineering(, cost the Central Pa
cific Company millions of dollars,
and compelled them, for seventy
miles, to maintain grade of over
one hundred feet to the mile-twice
the maximum of the Northern Pacific
at the most difficult point on its entire
route.
1t is fortunate, also, in its terminus
on the Pacific coast. No one who
has not been there can realize the
beauty of Puget Sound and its sur
roundings. One hundred miles long,
but so full of inlets and straits that
that its navigable shore line measures
seventeen hundred and sixty miles,
dotted with lovely islets, with gigan-
tic trees almost to the waters edge,
with safe anchorage everywhere, and
stretching southwark, without shoals
or bars, from the Straits of Fuca to
TO the capital and centre of Washing
ton Territory, it will be magnifi-
cent entrepot for the commerce of
that grandest ocean OF the world, the
Pacific.
r. 4
The Land Grant of the United
States, exceeding Fifty Millions of
acres in the winter wheat region of
our nation (ten times as large as the
area of Massachusetts,, is doubtless
sufficient for the completion of the
Road; but, besides this, millions of
private means are already invested
in it. The bonds based on the Land
Grant, and mortgage on the Road
itself in addition, are being sold as
rapidly as the money is needed and,
as an investment, yielding abont eight
per cent per year in currency. rank al
ready with the best class of railroad
securities. And thus the good work
will 60 on with unchecked step to its
final consummation, carrying the
blessings of settlement, development i,
civilization, and Christianity with it
in its progress, and literally causing
the wilderness to blossom as the
rose.
