the country demands thorough and immediate
reform in all departments Of the public service,
and that the lone term principle" for the
Presidential office will conduce more to that
end :han any other measure. Senator Trun-
bull was the principal speaker.
Horace Greeley, in the Tribune of Monday,
has the following editorial on the Cincinnati
Convention: We judge that nothing will be
done in hurry and that no nomination will
be made unless there be a well-grOunded hope
that the people demand and will sustain 1t,
Those present from each State will DOUBTLESS
organize as a delegation, with a chairman
and secretary and will first determine what
candidates would be most certain or mOst
likely to carry their own State, and then DC
ready to confer and compare notes with others
If it be decided that nomination shall be
made, then the Chairman of each delegation
will be authorized to cast in it's behalf as many
votes as its State is entitled to cast through Its
Electoral College, so that the few member:
present from Maine or California shall not bt
Swamped by the many from Ohio or Missouri
In short, no pains will be spared to collect anC
embody public opinion, which may prove quite
other than that of this or that clique in Wash
ingtOn. And any attempt to dictate this o.
that nomination as demanded by outsiders, will
be resented as impertinent and mischievOus
The Convention will be Republican so vii
the platform and candidates. When tn,
Convention shall have done it's work, unaweC
and unmanaged, citizens Of all parties vii
scrutinize that work, judge it, and say, eacl
for himself, just how much Of it, if any, meet
his approval and secures his cooperation.
