[Ffom the N. 7. Timesl III
The eaact Of the weakness Of the convention.
and OF the utter imprActcability Of uniting II on
9 single principle of any importance, 70 more
plainly to be seen than ever. Fenton yesterday
slipped out Of sight, having stayed away from
Washington just long enough TO dodge the Re
publican caucs and the vote on free tea and cof-
fee. Greeley hedged in an obvious way IN yes
terday's Tribune. and forefore the slightest gush
over the power and virtue Of Cincinnati. The
leaders on the spot, as We have indicated, are
afraid to stir, and have let pass the one moment
when they could have produced an impression on
the county. Some Of the Democratic papers
have already begun 10 talk small about Cincin-
natl and big about their own party. The Con-
vention may be dismissed as an event already As
muchin the past as its iilustrious predecessor at
Cleveland in 1854.
WELL, But BETTER YET DEMANDED.
From the N. X, Herald.l
Though the reduction in the cost Of tea and
coffee which must follow taking OF the duty will
be acceptable to the whole community, for every
family uses these articles, 1t will not go far to
cheapen living. This is but a short step in the
way OF necessary revenue reform. There are
many duties and taxes that press more heavily
upon the people and the industry Of the country
that ought to be removed. As tea and coffee
are foreign productions entirely, there was no
protec tionist opposition to abolish the duty. In
deed, the protectionists favored the bill because
reduction in the revenue from these articles
would give them an argument for maintaining
high duties others in order to raise sufficient
income for the government. Acceptable as the
abolishment of these duties may be, Congress-
must not suppose the people viii be satisfied
with such modicum Of revenue reform. There
ought to be 4 clean sweep Of hundred millions
OF taxation at least.
THE LINE OF POLICY WITH SPAIN.
[From the n Y. Tribunel
Gen. Sickles will, as we stated some days ago,
finish some pending business in Madrid, aud
then present his letters Of recall. No successor
will be Immediately appointed, the Legation re-
naming for the present in the hands Of Charge
dAffares This will be a proper response to
the recent impertinences OF Mr.. SagAsta, but will
not amount to q rupture between the two ma
tions. The United States simply abandons any
attempt at Intervention In Spanish Colonial mat
ters, being weary Of continual deceptions and OF
endless promises which are never fulfilled. Ol
course this will not prevent us from prosecuting

THE DEMOCRATIC DRIFT.

What we said yesterday of the Demo-
cratic press of the North, we find, in effect,
repeated in the New York journals of the
same date. The World, the controlling
organ of the party throughout the country,
and the journal that really shapes the
Democratic policy in the end, insists that
there is no middle course left for the
Democracy to take--that square, out
and-out nomination Of its own is what is
now demanded at the hands of the party,
and is what the party should unhestat-
ingly make. Read what it says:
1.-THE drift of Democratic sentiment, so
far as yet expressed, is that the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Greeley at Cincinnati necessi-
tates straight Democratic ticket. The
hard-pushed Grant organ represents it
otherwise, because it sees no way of
frightening Republicans from the support
of Greeley but by holding up the Demo-
cratic raw head and bloody bones, which
has been so long an object of terror to
Thoroughbred Republicans. This is too
absurd fetch to dupe any human crea-
ture. The Democratic party might have
accepted Adams, 1t might have accept
ed Trumbull, might have accepted
Davis, might have accepted Brown,
might have accepted Palmer; but it neuer
contemplated as possible the nomination of
Mr.. Greeley, ats vehement, lifelong assail-
ant and had Democrats foreseen such a
nomination, they aoould never hare held out
the least hope Of a Democratic adoption of
the Cincinnati ticket. There is no way by
which the Cincinnati Convention could
have so completely exploded every suspi-
cion of Democratic influence, as by the
nomination of Horace Greeley. He,
above all others, is the candidate the DEM
ocratic party did not want, and whose pos
sible selection never entered into its calcu-
lations when it was disposed to look with
favor on the Cincinnati movement.
"The Greeley mooeme't has therefore a
free and unobstructed course inside the Re
publican party. II is not handicapped with
an ounce of Democratic ,oeight."

BIOGRAPHICAL,

AS biographies are in order, we briefly
give those of the Cincinnati nominees
Horace Greeley was born in Amherst,
New Hampshire, 1911. Learned the
printers trade in 1s26-3O. Went to New
York in 1881. Began the Morning Post
the first penny daily ever published,) in
1888. Founded the Neo Yorker in the
following year. Edited the Jefersonian in
1888, and the Log Cabin in 1910. In
1s41 he founded the New York Tribune.
His history since is the history of that pa
per. -nr
b. Gratz Brown was born in Lexington,
KY, in 1926, settled as a lawyer in St.
Louis, was member of the Missouri Leg
islature in 1923, assisted in establishing
the Missouri Democrat, and edited it in
1s54-9, delivered a speech in the Legisla-
ture in 1857, which was the initiative of
freedom in the State. Early in 1861 he
raised regiment, which assisted in the
capture of Camp Jackson, subsequently
commanded brigade of militia. He was
foremost in organizing the movements
which resulted in the ordinance of freedom
in Missouri in 1864, was elected United

THE North american does not see any
evidence of the general stagnation in BUSH
ness predicted by some of the newspaper
journals of the country, as inevitable for
the Presidential year. 1t says what is
manifestly true:
" Iron, wool, cotton, steel, breadstuffs,
are in unprecedented demand at good
prices: American shipbuilding has ac-
CURED a fresh impetus. Coal is in demand.
Building improvements are going on upon
a great scale. Cattle multipl " in immense
herds. Wool growing is becoming greater
than ever. Railroads are projected in
greater numbers than at any former period.
Banking fourishes unusually. Stock OPP
erations are in large volume. Where, then,
do these free-traders find the proofs of the
stagnation they talk about? Emigration
was never greater nor more valuable in
character. There is no element of our
growth or progress that shows any def.
ciency."

mean the great body of the Republican or
dominant party. A slight change in the
present financial policy of the government,
would precipitate a crisis, if it did not con-
vulse the whole country with general dis
turbance. A brilliant administration is
not what is wanted, but safe and entirely
stable one-ono strong in its readiness to
execute the will of the people, as expressed
through their immediate representatives.
They want a Chief Magistrate who ac-
cepts p ablic sentiment as the rule by which
to shape the national policy, rather than
one who would seek to shape and mould it
for himself; who would not compel the
adoption of his own policy, and thus play
the dictator, and not the executive officer.
Such Chief Magistrate General Grant
has been. He has taken the will of the
people as the rule Of his executive conduct,
and has gone forward with an earnest de-
sire, and strong intent and purpose, to
do his duty and his whole duty to the
American people. His administration has
been a wonderful success. 1t has demon
strated what no other government ever did
before, that an immense national war debt,
amounting to thousands of millions Of dol
lars, can be honestly paid off, with no pos
sible detriment to the national honor. 1t
has demonstrated that the law of the land
is the supreme protection to the citizen
everywhere. 1t has demonstrated that
nations the most powerful of the earth)
must be compelled to an observance of the
law as we'll as individual citizens, or be
held amenable, if they fail of such observ-
ance. In fine, the administration of
General Grant has answered the demands
of the American people more satisfactorily
than any that ever preceded it, and it will
be triumphantly sustained by them in the
coming election.

BEFORE the Cincinnati Convention was
held, it was universally conceded that its
nominee should be conservative Republi-
can, so unobnoxious add unexceptional to
the Democracy of the country, that they
could everywhere indorse his nomination
without feeling that they had in any way
compromised their principles or surrender
ed their hold upon party ties and affilia-
tons, as they had existed in the past.
But in presenting Mr.. Greeley, the Con-
vention has given the Democracy serpent
when they asked for a fish. Their action
has practically divided the Democratic
party of the county, and that as effectually
so as the split in its own ranks divided
them in 1860.

The New York Herald is again ''shak-

has dealt stout blows for the administration
and Republicanism. Within few days,
however, it has shown signs of that politi-
cal instability for which it has become pro-
verbal; and it now cody informs the
cincinnati crowd" how they "may yet
accomplish revolution in the administra-
ton and enjoy the federal spoils for the
next four years." if they manage things
right, and properly rectify their candi-
dates.
