New YORK, June All the papers
this morning contain editorials on the
action of the Philadelphia Convention
yesterday in its selection of candidates
for President and Vice President.
The Sun, Star and Tribune, being
positively antiAdministration organs
consider the Convention a farce SO tar
as the nomination Of President was
concerned, as Grants nomination was
foregone conclusion.
Regarding the Vice Presidency, the
Sun says that the Convention threw
Colfax overheard and nominated Will
son to spite Sumner; that this action
in removing Colfax's chance for the
second term is proof that Grant has NO
right to a second term.
The Star says: The nomination oil
Wilson as the representative of the
labor party would mean good deal il
it was honestly made, and in view of
that support the labor party in the Con-
vention was brought out by Wilson.
The Tribune says: 1t was not fair
dealing in the Convention. The man
who had patronage to use secured its
vote for 8 second term; the man who
had no patronage to use could not secure
its vote for a second term. The Iri-
J,me considers the ticket nominated by
the Convention strong one and should
not be underrsted, and that the Balti-
more Convention, should it act unwlsely,
will elect Grant.
The World, a thorough Democratic
organ, says thatif the Republican party
had been faithfully represented at Phil
adelphia Grant would not have been
nominated; that apart from his control
of the federal patronage he is one OF the
we ,kest candidates they could have put
in the field, but had the delegates to the
convention been elected ten days ago,
they would not have nominated Grant,
but that his nomination was fixed four
or five months ago. The World, under
all the circumstances attending the
present polinical situation, considers
that there is splendid opportunity for
Democratic success.
The Herald, an independent organ,
considers the work at Philadelphia to
have been well done in the selection Of
Grant and Wilson as the Republican
ticket. For Presidential succession the
nomination of Grant was foregone
conclusion, but the change in the NOM
ination for Vice President was made on
account of the high favor in which Mr..
Wilson stands among the Southern
blacks, the partiality which has been
expressed for him by the workingmen
of the North and his unmistakable
strength in New England. The Herald
considers it will be very close contest
should the Baltimore Convention adopt
the Cincinnati nominees, and fsvors this
action on the part Of the Democratic
party.
The Times, an administration organ,
eulogises both nominees in lengthy
editorial, aud considers the nominating
in the Convention to have been done in
most intelligent aud business like
manner, and promises the death and
burial Of the Democratic party, with
Greeley at its head, in November next.
The Labor Strikes-Excitemen on
the Increase.
The discomfort among the strikers at
the noncompliance of the employees tc
their demands is still on the increase
but no disorderly demonstrations were
made to-day.
The gas men, at meeting this even
ing, decided to strike tomorrow, unles:
their demand for eight hours is com
piled with. The men complain thai
the work in the gas factories never ceases
and under the present system is per
formed by two sets Of men, who work
each twelve hours. The manufacture
ers offered to pay the same wages as il
they were working under the new sys.
tenn, but the men say they want reduced
hours more than money.
The proposed parade OF the men on
the strike, next Monday, has been ap
proved by the Board Of Police, and it is
stated that there will be at least thirty
Thousand men in the procession.
The Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany have closed their mar ufa ;turipg
premises on account OF the strike
They have enough machines on hand
to last them six months. Great indlg
nation is felt among the men at the
closing OF the work shops BY the com
panv.
