COllax On the Nomination..

"A NUMBER OF the Indiana Delegates
to tho National Convention, and other
citizens Of that State, called upon Mr..
Coliax, on Saturday, to assure him Of
their undiminishcd esteem cnl conf.
dcnce. THE Vicc.PresideAt replied that
he was proud to be the recipient Of such
warm and earnest friendship US that ex-
hibited by tho delegations from Indi-
ana and other States, and so kindly ex-
pressed in Judge Denny's remarks He
bowed to the decision of tho conven-
ton without a nurmur or regret, and
should prove hereafter rs faithful to
the Republican creed in private life as
when he had been the standard bearer
Of the cause. lie rejoiccd that after
eighteen years Of public life, with all
his acts like open pages Of book be-
fore the people, the worst that was said
OF him at Philadelphia was that he had
written letter stating his desire and
willingness to retire from official posi-
ton, and had afterwards consented to
accept a denomination, if tho party
deemed it best. This charge he could
not deny. but he had never written or
said anything broader than is found in
expressions Of that much quoted letter.
So much has been said about that, now
the convention is over, he felt he had
right to tell his home friends what his
lips had been sealed on heretofore, nam.
y, that it was not written nor intended
for publication. He had expected to
submit the desire he felt and which was
expressed in it to leading Republicans
from his own State and elsewhere, when
Congress rcasscmblcd, for their advice,
but he said he must add. in justice to
the valued friend to whom he wrote.
that the letter was not marked conf
dental, and being from public man
on public question chat friend had the
unquestionable right to infer that it
was not private, aud, therefore, he JUS
tilted him fully in printing it. When
he decided last November, at the up
peal OF many active Republicans fr,m
Indiana aud other sections of the I'm.
ion, that his denomination or rctiracy
was question which the party should
decide rather than himself, he felt it
would be improper to electioneer with
any one on the subject, and he did not
On the contrary he told every delegate
that he saw that his name ought not to
be presented if another could insure
greater unity and certainty Of victory
to the cause he loved far better than 20
litical honors. The Republican organ
ization, the records Of whose great deeds
for liberty, humanity, justice and na
tionality during the past decade arc
unapproached by any political party in
any age, has other advancing steps Of
progress and reform to take before dis
bandmcnt or furlough from duty
While goiny himself, therefore, to the
retired list, without the slightest un-
kind feeling toward any one who de-
sires change in the Vice Presidency,
and wishing them especially decided
victory in October in our closely con-
tested State, he should join with them
in November in cordially supporting
Ulysses S. Grant. aud Henry Wilson
for President and Vice President of the
United States.

The Labor Question .

Nearl y all the eastern cities are in a
condition Of semi-revolutiou. A move
ment, which promises to become almost
universal, is in progress, for the pur-
pose Of increasing the wages and short
enins the working time Of mechanics
and laborers. 1t has taken the form of
a "strike" and the classes demanding
additional privileges have formed asso.
Citations for mutual protection and sup
port. They have already been success
full in many cases, and the indications
are that the manufacturers and con.
tractors will be compelled to make still
further concessions. Although capital
and labor are natural associates, and
mutually dependent, there has al
ways existed between them a bitter
antagonism. Their relative position
has been and still is in the exact ratio
Of the active strength Of their re-
spective representatives. Capital to
be remunerative must be invested-in.
vestment necessitatcs labor, therefore,
labor is essential to the productiveness
Of capital, and hence, is Of paramount
importance, and possessed Of the right
to control. Labor felt the truth of this
syllogism long before it learned to de-
monstrate it. In this country, the o..
eratives-as class-are intelligent, and
they will press their reasonable claims
to a final recognition, and allowance.
In the preponderancc Of first one and
then the other Of these extremes. there
must, Of course, be great deal of va
oillation but with natural right as a
gravitating fo'ce, the movement will
find an equilibrium at the point where
mutual interest and reciprocal effort
unite for the promotion Of the general
veal.
