Protection bM Districts.

Among the things resolved upon in the sixth
resolution Of the Cincinnati Convention was that
of the tariff and in which connection i, used the
following amusing language:
\ "And, recognizing that there are in our midst
honest but irreconciabe differences of opinion
with regard to the respective systems of protec-
ton and free trade, we remit discussion of the
subject to the people in their Congressional Dis
tricts, and the decision of Congress thereon wholly
free of executive interference or dictation."
This is dodge of which we believed Horace
Greeley entirely incapable, except upon the leg
erdemain of those who shifted the scenes in that
Convention. OF all the amusing, meaningless
things that we have ever seen in political plat
form, this stands paramount for its paradoxica
attitude. If This should be referred to Congress
sional Districts why not refer all the other ques
tons upon which resolve was offered to the
Congressional Districts. Are the people of the
Districts unfit custodians of the other questions
whose decision is touched upon by the resolu-
tons? If So are they fit custodians of this?
What does this resolution mean Is not every
Congressional District now master of its own
destinies upon the subject? Does it not have a
representative in Congress, and does that represen
tative not reflect the voice of. the people and does
be not represent the sentiment of his constitu-
ents? If this be so, how can this resolution have
any effect upon the District or the people? Is
this question not already in their hands, and has
any one ever made any attempt to take it away
from them? If these things be correctly presum-
ed to exist where is the utility of the resolution
If it has any meaning at all, we should conclude
that it intends to clothe each Congressional Dis
trict with the power of making its own tariff
This means that each District can have tariff to
suit itself. Then to be consistent the Conyen-
s'-,%ia have sfer-es ssa - .:--- s-,sss-' :
che payment and Gland grants to rairoau. to
the same tribunal for arbitrament
Then we take it, should Mr. Greeley and Mr..
Brown be complimented with the elevation to
the Presidential and Vice Presidential chairs and
their platform made the policy of their admins
tration, each Congressional District will have
tariff or free trade as it wills. Each pig-iron
District of Pennsylvania will have high tariff,
each agricultural District will have free trade
We shall have free trade in South Carolina and
high tariff in Massachusetts. We shall be
blessed with railroad bars fresh from the foun-
dries of England free of duty in Minnesota and
labeled with high tariff rates in Pennsylvania
and Missouri. They must pay a heavy duty
in Maryland, but they can 60 to Texas free of
duty. Sugar must pay duty to enter New Or
leans but goes duty free into New York, where
dwells the evident protectionist' Presidential
candidate. The only thing necessary to its sue
cessful admission is the use of the motto "Horace
Greeley does your mother know you're out?"

Cincinnati Contention.

The Cincinnati Convention convened on
the LIST inst, and was in session three days
| 1t elected Hon. Carl Churz as permanent chair
man an vice president from each State, all of
| them being represented. The convention was
called as mass convention and sprang, not
from the people in primary elections, but from
the voluntary attendance of individuals from
the various sections of the country. When the
convention had made temporary organiza-
ton, with Judge Stanley Matthews of Ohio, in
the chair, it resolved to have the members
present from each State to retire and elect
delegates to form the convention, each State
being entitled to two delegates for each Sena-
tor and Representative it sends to Congress.
This having been done and the delegates
furnished with credentials the convention went
into permanent organization and proceeded
to business. The same political mauipulations
that are wont to characterize other political
conventions found their way into this. Those
present from New York took firm grasp upon
the making of the delegates to represent her
in the convention and succeeded in excluding
every anti Greeley man from the State from
voice or a seat in the convention as delegate.
This was so bald as to bring into the CONVEX
ton protest against the admission of the
delegates, which protest set forth the facts
above related.

the second day and were conducted to the plat
form and took seats among the Vice Presidents.
Then three cheers were given for dolly Warden
and her daughter"
A motion was put and adopted that when
the convention was ready to ballot for nomina-
tions for President and Vice President that it
proceed to do so without placing the name of
any man in nomination, but that the roll of
States be called and the vote taken. When
this work began Messrs. Greeley, Adams

Horace Greeley of New YsifA vas nominated
for President Sy vote of 332 to 324 for
Adams. On the secoE9 ballot Gratz Brown,
present Governor of Missouri, vas nominated
for Vice President. Hon. Carl Shurz, before
the convention adjourned, made few brief re-
marks in which he said they had made their
candidates and adopted their platform of
principles and il was their duty to 90
forth to the people Of tie Hand and ask them to
support the candidates and endorse the princi.

OUTLINED HIMSELF Strange fatalities attend
the fortunes of some men. Had the knife of the
assassin Payne accomplished its purpose, VIM.
II. Seward would have gone down TO his grave
pqerned by forty millions OF American freemen
and ieass ii patriot hearts would have moistened
the sod THAI eogeGet his dust. But the great
mans apostasy blurred bis III isme and buried
him among the untreasured men OF ial5 Stlrring
and heroic age The accomplishment of the AS
sassin's purpose would have sent bis name down
tG cos'erity as among the greatest of the great
men OF tie ..ation, equal to any station he might
he called upon &c 81 or any crisis that might
present its two horned diieispG for bis guidance
Mr. Seward survived his usefulness. We fear
That the tate at him who dwells in the shades Of
Aupar4 IL about to spread its shadows over the
farmer OF Chappa2qpa In the past no candid
man deny that Mr. greeley has been among
the most industrious and influential 81 those who
have devoted themselves to the dissemination OF
Repqblieag IDEAS and the creation Of Republican
sentimept We fear that Mr. Greeley has out
lived his usefulness apd is now about to consign
TO an obliyious future the immortality he has so
nobly earned by bis past record.

M. Greeley mad better profit by his own ad :
vice now.
On the 18th of April, 1871, after Grant had
been President for two years he paid him this
significant compliment: awe venture to say
no government has ever made so magnificent
an exhibit of two years financial work as that
which we publish this morning. The increase
in receipts over those of '67 to 69 has amounted
to Ss4 1884, O4974, the decrease in expenses $780,
700, 1922 the reduction of the public debt
amounts to $2O4, 754 ,41S.O9. There is cogent
eloquence about these numerals which exceeds
any rhetoric OF the Fourth of July"
Who has said better things in President
Grants favor than Mr.. Greeley. These are
good electioneering documents for President
Grant. What has Mr.. Greeley to say about
these things now

ticket In the field than there i without it. Then
what can the Democrats expect to gain by sup
porting Liberal Republican ticket? This would
be a wholesale surrender of their party, an
abandonment of their party organization and a
burial of its name. 1t could amount to nothing
less than tacit dissolution of the Democratic
party. They would surrender their NAME aban-
don their organization, desert their faith and
''hand in their checks" Are they ready TO do
this The support of aRepublican ticket and the
surrender OF the party insignia would be one
step further than the party has ever gone yet
1t is true that in 1864 they nominated Gen. Nc
Clellan for the Presidency, and supported him
with will after be had arrested and imprisoned
the Maryland Legislature by virtue of his militia
~ authority, it being the first arrest of the kind
made under military authority. Then in 1868
they supported Gen. Frank Blair for the Vice
Presidency, after be had served in the Federal
army for four years and had advocated the Thir-
tenth Amendment. But it must be remembered
that both these men called themselves Democrats
at the time they were complimented with Demo-
cratic votes. They had gone over to the Demo-
cratic party, and they were nominated as Demo-
cratic candidates by the regularly assembled De-
mocratic National Conventions.
This was surrender on the part of Mcclellan
and Blair, of their hitherto professed Republican
ism, in great measure, to the Democratic party.
Or in other words, whatever may have been their
real sentiments and what they might have done,
if elected, to disappoint Democratic hopes, they
were for the time being full, recognized members
of the Democratic party. The name and the
organization remained and the party could go
into the conflict with all the Inspiration of its
former victories and the associations of its former
men and measures. But where will be their
Shibboleth and what their rallying cry under the
leadership of Horace Greeley, the champion Of
equal and exact justice to all men," with the
name of Liberal Republicans inscribed upon
its banners?
Horace Greeley was the persistent, pnwavering
advocate of the adoption Of the 18th, l4th and
18th Amendments and the Civil Rights Bill -
The motto that has for the last five years been
hefalded forth by the Tribune has been "all
rights for all men," No man has gone further
than this 1t includes all that is asked by Mr.
Summers supplemental Civil Rights Bill now
slumbering in the Senate. When the Democratic
party "tbrows up the sponge" by supporting
Mr.. Greeley, it makes public confession that the
Republican party has always been right oritcon-
fesses itself to be an organization of men entirely
destitute of political principle. Let us see what
they will do

Greelev and BrOtOn.

Horace Greeley for President and Gratz Brown
for Vice President is the ticket presented BY the
Liberal Republicans for the votes of the Demo-
Gratis of the Union We do not claim any OF the
attributes of a prophet, nor do we think that our
views about the future at all infallible, but we
are we'll satisfied that if the Democrats nominate
candidates this ticket will not carry State in
the Union, which will leave it without vote in
the electoral college, New York cannot be
carried by Greeley with Democratic candidate
in the field. Missouri will go Democratic in spite
of the fact that Graiz Brown turned the State
over to the Democratic party and placed its pa
tronage in their hands. Where outside of these
can this ticket have reasonable hope Of receiv-
ing an electoral vote As far as our knowledge
OF politics goes we cannot see where one can be
obtained. The next question is how the ticket
will effect the success of the regular Republican
nominee, provided the Democrats do not nomi-
nate ticket. With this circumstances we are in
clined to the opinion that Grant will receive
more Democratic votes than Greeley viii Repub.
