HON. w. IL III SYOMEIL.

We are decidedly opposed to making the
Guardianship of the State Central Commit
tee an office to be sought as personal
compliment or recognition. We are very
clear that the committee should be allowed
to organize itself. We hope that sach will
be the action of future conventions. and
this false and mischievous precedent will be
broken up. But we wish to say a word of
the chairman who was chosen last even
ing' Mr.. Stowell lays no claim
to great reputation as an orator.
His career in Congress is not marked by any
great oratorical efforts, but he is a faithful
and efficient representative. He bears his
honors with becoming modesty, and his UNI
pretentious worth will count in the long
run, both for himself and his constituents.
lar more than mere brilliancy of speech.
We are confident that he will use the posi-
ton entrusted to him with energy, discrc-
ton and impartiality, and we look for
thorough organization, and vigorous can
vass under his administration.

BUT we believe the death-blow has been
struck to both General Grant and the Re-
publican party. He might have saved HIM
self if he had acted Independently and
honestly in accordance with what we believe
to have been his own instincts but he was
misled. He allowed himself to be fast tied
to the party of vindictiveness and the
policy OF prosecutions, and he will have
to shoot over Niagara with them.-Dis-
patch.
The fable of the lion and the man who
painted his picture ought to be fresh in the
mind of the Dispatch. 4Hsop's Apologies
are altogether too instructive to have
escaped its attention, and its admiration
for such antique gems of thought must have
led to constant perusal of this sort of lit
erature. We can, therefore, commend the
moral of that particular fable, while our
contemporary is giving its pen and
ink sketches of General Grant.
1t was great achievement in the
painter to place his foot lin picture)
on the neck of the PROSTATE lion; but the
lions criticism upon his fine work of art
scattered all his artistic pretensions at
once. The lion did not propose to paint a
picture in return, but to give tablen
cieam of his own and the painters supre-
macy, as delineated in his very facile
sketch. The lion might not be able to
paint, but he could make his mark and it,
will be found that Gen. Grant will make
his just as effectually in the coming presi-
dental campaign, as he did in pounding
away at the "party of vindictiveness" in
lS64-'65.
ltmay do very we'll to denounce the vim
dictiveness of General Grant, but put your
finger on the acts--specify them sharply in
direct accusation. Magnificent metaphor,
wrought into high-soundng elimination,
establishes nothing-avails nothing. 1t is
mere sound and fury, expanding itself in
the teeth of the wind.

WE must grid on our armor for another
hard-cider, coon-skin, and buckeye" cam
paign. Cincinnati must start it, and we
must all contribute to keep the ball in mo-
ton. 1t is the only way to win. The
country must again be swept by the en-
thusiasm of the people, as with the force of
a tornado.-Enquirer.
We do not recollect how valiantly or
enthusiastically the Enquirer buckled on
in its ''coon-skin" armor in 1910. If our
recollection serves us right, it had decided
distaste for ''hard-cider" in those days,
and looked upon "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too" pretty much as the Iron Duke did
upon ''jest in earnest" We may be
mistaken in this, for our memory does not
run so far back with any absolute certainty
of what transpired Immediately hereabout
in that memorable campaign. But be this
as it may, our contemporary is now abso-
lutely certain that the only way to win is
to have "another hard-cider, coon-skin, and
buckeye campaign" This is an unfortu-
nate Acknowledgements admission that
reason, argument, good sense, and the
weight of fact and circumstance, have
nothing to do with the conviction of the
public mind, or the overthrow Of
the Republican party. An artificial
enthusiasm must be got up by
mere clap-trap appliances, which shall
sweep the country with the force of tor
nado. By what Mumbo-Jumbo rites OF
ceremonies this is to be done, does not now
appear but the Cincinnati Convention is
looked to as the happy sluicc-way through
which this popular enthusiasm is 10 be dis.
charged. 1t may be that the pent-up vex,
alton and disappointment of few Radica,
sore-heals, like those congregating at Gin
cinnati, may furnish the popular wave OF
which this enthusiasm shall ride, and tri
umphantly bear somebody nobody know!

tiuence of the Presidency but it require
faith to move mountains to see it, and w
doubt very much whether the Enquire

In this unique series of papers, now appearing
in SCRIBNERS MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner, au-
thor of MY Summer in a Garden" is doing his
best work Here we haye-in pleasant fiction
of talking group in front of an d-fashioned
country -philosophic suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scripton, social out-looks-and, enlivening all, a
fresh, acrisp, yet juicy and delicious hrrmor.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, "for light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day" The Boston Transcript says that "tor
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
humor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way" The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. Ill .'renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
formances that we have in him humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says it is the ''best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
a day, and the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says: "BACK-LOG STUDIES constitute de-
cided hit in magazine literature" Another of
these delightful papers will appear In the April
