" country which they call their own, the
brighter and happier by reason OF their
lives"
We think that the hearing of such sound
sense as this should have saved our country,
our political affairs, our citizenship, whatever
may be its foibles, from tho elaborate sheer
which presently fell from a gentleman who
has been in public life, albeit he is so no
longer. ga State or nation" said Mr.. II. c..
Winthrop, "may change or may try to change
"their chief magistrates as often as they will,
for good reasons, or for bad reasons, or for
mo reasons at all, at their own sovereign
"will and pleasure; but, Sir, no brief terms
of administration, no system of rotation in
office, no meager one-term principle will
ever cOnduce to the permanent prosperity OF
ga great republic of letters like ours The
reader will not fail to observe the exceeding
ingenuity of Mr.. Winthrop's climax. He is
not talking of politics, it will be noticed, at
all. and yet be is really talking Of
nothing else. He is thinking only Of
the best interests of the University,
except, indeed, that he is thinking of Doctor
Grant who sits at the table not in the least
troubled by the weight of his new academic
laurels, and placidy smoking his cigar! Mr.
Winthrop speaks as if all this political pOther
and turmoil, this hustle of President-making
this discussion in the newspapers, this gather
ing of Conventions, and this onward march
of great people to the polls were really of
no consequence when compared with the
academic serenity the philosophical propriety,
and the dignifed general management of
Harvard University in which things are done
SO much better than they are done in
Washington. To be sure, it may have
been exceedingly gratifying to DR.. Grant
to have heard the speaker indicating his dis
approval of brief terms of Office and the
"meager One-term principle;p but if DR..
Grant were resident Alumnus, we are certain
that he would find Cambridge but a slow sort
of place. Moreover, we are not sure that
there was anything really encouraging in Mr..
Winthrops speech. DR.. Grant perhaps, was
hardly filed with joy at the insinuaton that
the nation "may change its chief magistrate
Gas often as it WILL" because DR.. Grants
idea is that it may not. The whole point of
the Philadelphia Convention was that we
must take the Doctor again whether we want
him or not, and that there shall be no "may'
in the matter.
Fortunately it is left to the people and not
to the eaters of Alumni dinners to decide
whether there shall be rotation in Office
or whether the term of an Administration
shall be brief or not If the President of
Harvard University should appoint his father
Professor of Greek, his uncle Professor of
Latin, his brother-in-law Professor of o Mathe-
MATES, and his great grandmother Professor
of Rhetoric, and should moreover sell sheep
skins for his private emolument, we can fancy
Mr.. Winthrop warming into something like
indignation, and actually suggesting TO-

The whole number of votes in the Baltimore
Convention is fixed at 732, or twice that of the
whole vote of the Electoral College. Two
thirds of the vote of the Convention will be
488 so the Liberal element already directed to
Baltimore will have 1872 votes more than two
thirds. 1t is pretty clear that the Liberal pro-
gramme will be adopted on the first ballot
There are some qualifications to be made in
the above classification, as in the case of
Georgia and California, where the delegates
are not instructed, but are known to be
almost unanimous for the Cincinnati platform
and nominees or in Pennsylvania, whose
delegates are instructed to vote as a unit, and
a large majority of them are enthusiastically
for Greeley and Brown. But, with these quail
flying circumstances, the table may be accepted
as Just statement of the status of the dele
cations of the twenty-eight States named.
And even throwing out the votes of one or
two States in which the purpose of the reso-
lutiOns was less emphasized, or the preferences
of the delegates were not unanimous, there
will still remain a twO-tbirds vote in the
Convention.
The States yet to be heard from will I'M
doubtedly augment this Liberal strength but
enough has been done to show that the De-
mOcracy of the country cordially and in good
faith accepts the overtures for union in the
cause of reform which have been made by the
Liberal Republicans. In some States, as in
Illinois, the coalition has been demonstrative,
and even boisterous, in its enthusiasm; and
the determination has been complete in
the soidifying of local party machinery
and union on local nominations. And
throughout the Union the movement
has taken the form of a great popular wave,
rather than of mere political combination.
The people are in this way manifesting their de-
sire to have done with the WORKOUT issues of
the past They will no longer be kept apart
by old war-cries while bad men rob the nation
of good name, and grow rich on the public
revenues. This grand compacting of Liberals
of all parties means reformation, economy,
and peace. 1t is practically consummated
already it will be ratified by great triumph

During the week now closing Democratic
Conventions of six States have, with greater
or less distinctness, declared their adherence
to the policy platform, and ticket of the Gin

Jersey, Illinois, Mississippi, Virginia, and Ohio.
These represent an aggregate of 164 votes III

held at Baltimore, July 0. AT this date, then,
twenty-eight states have IN their Democratic
Conventions, with varying emphasis, joined

DIR DEIPNOSOPHLSTS.

The other night, at dinner of college
graduates, an unfortunate gentleman, who
venturod to suggest that our higher SEM
inaries failed to prepare men thoroughly for
the business of life and the duties of society,
was greatly snubbed by an indignant Don,
who told him point blank that lie was en-
tirely mistaken. If the offender desired to
make any reply at this time to this imputa-
ton upon his common sense and powers of
observation, he might put in evidence some
of the speeches made when the air was heavy
with roast beef and the most respectable
rhetoric, at the Alumni Dinner IN Cambridge,
last Wednesday. Ex-Gov. Washburn had
said and said with great propriety and force ;
"What a glorious opportunity What a
country to move in And with all the adj
vantages of education which young men
possess. and which this University and this
Commonwealth have given them, what an
opportunity And, in conclusion, Mr.
Washburn called upon the young men to make
the communities " which they belong, the

A singular and apparently an inyidious discrimi'
nation was made by the clergyman who uttered the
Introductory prayer at the Boston Jubilee. The
Gazette of that city records the fact as follows:
" The Rev. Phillips Brooks's prayer was made in
dumb show to almost everybody" We believe IL
was The NJ Y. Express that pointed out in advance
that, in so large building the Coliseum, tho
prayer could not possibly be heard by those to whom
it was Addressed but not the most audacious of
New-York scOffers could have anticipated that it
would be addressed to only part of the audience,
and made % in dumb show" at that. The GGsette Is
also in trouble on the subject of the NewYork cor
respondents, and accuses them of using. in their
Jubilee letters, "a bald system of falsehood" IL
pities them, however. and it doesn't care. " The
Jubilee" it says will go into history its merits.
despite their efforts to defame and belle it, The
small jealousy Of Boston from which tins contempt
ible spirit emanates is to us very surprising.
Were Boston of less consequence in the of these
people, they would hardly be deferred from accord
ing to us the credit of genuine triumph such as we
are achieving Balzac we remember, makes men,
ton of man who never uttered his own name with
out taking off his hat a mark of reverence for the
exalted appelaton. The Gazette takes this sort OF
comfort naturally and properly; and we are glad to
see that it is also able to indulge in the reflection
very dear to the BostOnian mind-that trade has
been much bettor during this Jubilee than during
tho first One "and general good feeling prevails
among the merchants"

Wearied by delay and exhausted by an un-
profitable contest, the men who have been en-
gagged in the strike for short working hours
are generally giving up. The reports from
various trades interested in the demonstration
show that the strike is virtually at an end.
There has been a great loss of time, money,
and good temper. We hope there has been gain
somewhere; but it is not apparent.
