government, the senator said: sit this system
of encroachment be permitted to go on, the
| day is not far distant when our republican
| system, based on the idea of a division OF
powers between the Federal Government and
the States, will be transformed into one impe-
rial %despotism, with all the powers at Wash
ington; and I care not whether the power Is
exercised by a single person as a monarch, or
by I've hundred persons called q Congress, 1t
doctrine is now boldly proclaimed by men
high In authority that the States of this Union
have such powers"
Senator schurz next took the stand, and
was received with similar overwhelming oVa-
! ton to that Of Trumbull, as the lion of the oc-
casion and the leading light OF the Reform
movement. His speech was eagerly anticipa.
ted and attracted many persons, expressly to
hear 1t. He spoke calmly and yet earnestly,
using very full notes. His manner was not
clear, logical and convincing. His dispassion-
ate arguments. did not carry away the feelings
of his audience. but they appealed TO their
reason and held their attention closely. His
voice rang loud and clear through the vanlteG
hall and throughout the packed, yet silent
throng, like the notes of q clarion. The audi
ence seemed spell. bound. and only at intervals

This, however, they did repeatedly and with
vigor, showing the %eloqutnce of the orator
was fully appreciated. Each word was re-
ceived with attention, and every strong point
made against the administration was fully ap-
precisted. As to the speech Itself we can
only refer to the full report. which alone can
do Justice 10 It's acumen, profundity, close rea-
soning, wit and other admirable qualities.
The administration Alarmed.
WASHINGTON, April Is.
The meeting last night in New York pro.
duces a feeling OF uneasinees in administra-
tive circles here, and shakes the Bourbon
Democracy. There seems to be a growing
disposition upon the part Of the more conser-
vatlve Democratic leaders 10 unite their for
tunes With the Cincinnati Convention. Mat.
tiers are mixed.

WASHINGTON, April IL.
The editor of the new weekly Liberal Be-
publican paper here, the Transcript. having
written a letter to Hon. Montgomery Blair
proposing that the latter should be selected as
one of the delegates to represent this district
In the Cincinnati Convention, Mr.. Blair replies
as follows: ''Tnere are two objections to this.
First I am not q Republican, and second, may
be q membefo of the Democratic Convention.
whether | am or not, I shall favor the support
of the nominee of the Cincinnati Conventlop,
without regard to the individuals nominated.
The reform movement there to be lnaugurated
can only be advanced by the reform wing OF
the Republican party. I shall support the
movement earnestly, though 1t Will be IN the
hands OF the Republicans exclusively, with no
expectation Of advantage to myself or friends

The State Republican ticket In Pennsylva-
MIA, with single exception, gives such gene
raj dissatisfaction among the pennsylvania
Republicans here that many OF them DO not
hesitate to predict It's defeat at the October
election, even by Q straight-outO Democratic
ticket. There are fears already of q serious
bolt, as FOrney has proposed that the dele
gates selected by the convention TO the Presl-
dentisl Republican Convention be thrown
overheard and q new set be elected by the
Republicans. He declares that the present
delegates ''are not men OF proper character"
and that ''they were selected by q ring OF un-
principled party managers" Senator Cameron,
who Is thus alluded to, proposes to denounce
what be calls Forney and his associates at
tempts to demoraIlZe the straight-out Republic
can ticket In Pennsylvania.
The Liberal Republican Nomination.
A writer in the New York World argues at
great length in favor of the nomination Of Mr.
Charles Francis Adams for President BY the
Cincinnati Convention. He says:
NY reasons are many. First Of all, believe
him to be honest, capable, and faithful TO the
constitution Interpreted according to the
standards OF exposition set up BY the fathers
of the Republic, who realized that the indivld-
ual States AVE rights as well as duties. He
Ia, in education, moral perceptions, and all
civic virtues, the reverse of General Grant IN
q more conspicuous sense than any other per-
son mentioned as a probable candidate Of the
combined opposition to the reelection of the
present incumbent. He is a statesman by in-
h%erltance, association, training, and haolt OF
thought. He Is Identified with none OF the
distractions which have recently disturbed our
country and Its politics, aud II elected will be
free to exercise his tried abilities, within the
path of duty. In protecting the national repose
and securing the prosperity OF the whole
country.
