With ticket composed of material like
this opposed to the silk-stocking gentry
who lead the Democracy there can be no
doubt of the verdict of the people. Then,
the platform is the straight-out, square,
toed Republican doctrine. The principles
of the party are fully reaf1rmed. White
Leagues and Ku-Klux Klans are con-
demned. Specie payments are advocated
and imitation is deprecated. The policy
of the National A administration is fully in
dorsed, and the preservation of the public
faith inviolate, and the reduction of taxa
ton, State and national, to the lowest
point consistent with economy are recon-
mended and promised. This has the ring
of the true metal, and was enforced by
eloquent addresses delivered by Governor
Morgan and Senator Conkling. The latter
alluded to the prompt action of the Presi-
dent in the Louisiana difficulties as having
prevented similar outrages in other South
ern States. The unity and concord which
marked the proceedings of this convention
were in powerful contrast with the turbu
lence which characterized the conflicting
elements of the late Democratic gathering
at Utica. The results are the sure harbin-
ger of victory for the party in the approach
ing election.

THE TRLB UNE AND a THIRD
TERM AGAIN.

The TT bEne continues harping upon the
third term. We call the attention of the
public to it for the reason that that journal
has persistently charged that the constant
illusions to it in journals supposed to be
friendly to the Administration and the Pres
ident was the surest and most efficacious
way to make it possible or probable.
In column editorial our contemporary
again brings the question before its readers,
ignorant and benighted world how Presi-
Dental nominations are made The start
ling information is as follows: always
before the caucus or primary meeting a
''few men get together, make its pro-
'gramme, lay out its work, and select the
delegates to be chosen. Those little knots
''of men make Presidents. Who are they2
"Why who should they be but the men
''who make politics a business, and are
maintained in office by the party whose
machinery they manage and whose local
concerns they direct?'
No man in the country more thoroughly
understands how the little ''knots of men,
come together than the present editor of
the Tribune. In1S63a little knot of bankers
and others in this city, having slight con-
nection with the United States Treasury,
came together" and made their pro-
gramme to defeat Mr. Lincolns second
nomination. They wanted Mr.. Chase
to be President, and to secure his nomi-
nation they determined first to break
down his opponent. To that end several
thousand dollars were subscribed, and
Mr.. Reid, who was then newspaper
correspondent in this city, and three
or four other gentlemen of the same
profession were paid a regular monthly
salary to defame Mr. Lincoln in the
columns of their respective papers. In that
instance the plot of the little knot of men
did not succeed. Is Mr.. Reid in the EN-.
ployment of another knot now? The
persistency with which the paper owned
by Jay Gould discusses the subject would
seem to imply as much. If so, will it tell
US who Jay Goulds candidate is, and have
an end of the thing.

THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANs

In our kilograms this morning will be
found cheering news from New York. The
Republican convention assembled yester-
day at Albany, and was presided over by
ex-senator E. D. Morgan. Its proceed
ings were characterized by the utmost har-
mony, and Governor Dix and Lieutenant
Governor Robinson were renominated by
reclamation. This graceful tribute to their
faithful administration of those offices dur
ing the current term is alike honorable to
the convention and the candidates. Little
need be said of the entire fitness
of this action on the part Of the
Republicans of the Empire State. New
and patriotic Governor than General Dix.
His ever-memorable dispatch to the reve-
nue. marine officer at New Orleans in 1861,
when he was Mr.. Buchanan's Secretary of
the Treasury, fully illustrates his character
in the line of duty: eff any man attempts
to pull down that flag, shoot him on the
spot" Had his chief, Mr.. Buchanan,
possessed 1.-THE of the pluck and prompt
tude which was thus exhibited by his Sec
rotary the war which followed might have
been prevented. During a long political
career General Dix has never shirked re-
spOnsibility or lodged an issue. As Uni
ted States Senator, Cabinet Minister, mill
tary general, Minister to France and Gov
ernor Of the State of New York, he has &C
quilted himself with a degree Of prudence,
wisdom and courage which is rarely ex-
celled. His denomination by the Republi-
can party places the seal of approval upon
his administration Of the State government
1t Is the keynote Of victory in, November
General Robinson has well deserved the
honor of this denomination. During the
last two years he has proven himself the
same painstaking, faithful officer in civil
affairs that his army record attests him
always TO have been in the military service.
Passing through the late war, from the
command of Fort McHenry, in 1861. when a
captain, he pointed his guns to Baltimore,
and warned the rebel Trimble to desist
from throwing up entertainments or he
would bombard the Monumental City,

TIE arithmetic man of the New York
World is again at work on his blackboard
By his latest "sum - he proves that the re
suits of all past elections in New York are
" First, that New York is a Democratic
State; second, that the Democrats are in
ga clear majority in a full vote; third, that
"a full vote is invariably polled in all Gu
beTEatOrial elections; fourth, that with a
strong ticket and sound platform the
% Democrats can always carry this State. &"
1t makes no difference to this arithmetician
that the Republican candidates are always
inaugurated at the proper time following
the election. Nothing can dampen his en-
thusiasm or overturn his problems. You
may declare his candidates buried by 4 ma
jOrity of thousands of ballots, yet he will
seize his chalk and serenely work out to
his own entire satisfaction a contrary re-
suit. He is the jolliest fellow since the
time Of Mark Tapley, and we believe even
Marks peculiar philosophy fades before
the World mans peculiar mathematics.
He is now burying General Dix with his
figures, and before the next Presidential
election he will demonstrate that Horace
Greeley was elected President of the United
States.

A COLUMBIA, s. c., correspondent gives
sketch of Chamberlain, the Republican
candidate for Governor, as follows: "Daniel
II. Chamberlain, the nominee for Cover
nor, is native of Worcester, Mass, and is
thirty-seven years Of age. He is graduate Of
Yale College, where he received high literary
and oratorical honors, and of the Harvard Law
school. He entered the army early in 1864 as
a lieutenant of the 5th Massachusetts eolored
cavalry, and served in Maryland, Louisiana
and Texas. He was mustered out as captain
in 1865, and came to Charleston in 1866, where
he was engaged in planting cotton for two
years. He was a delegate to the constitutional
convention, and after the adjournment was
elected Attorney General, in which capacity he
served four years, during the two administra-
lions of Governor Scott. Retiring from Office,
he began the practice of law in this city as
partner of the present Attorney General, Judge
Melton. Mr.. Chamberlain is not known to
have been connected with any of the corrup-
tons Of Governor Scott's administration, but
the Conservatives falsely charge that they
could not have been committed without his
knowledge"

4 DIVIDED PARTY.

Even a cursOry reading of the leading
Democratic organs in New York is suff-
cient TO convince any one that the Demo-
cratic party of that State is by No means
united in support of the nominations made
at Syracuse few weeks ago. The World,
for instance, prints three columns in de-
fence of Mr.. Tilden, in the course of which
some extraordinary and preposterOus state
ments are made concerning recent political
and other events which ought to be fresh
in its memory. First of all it has the etfron-
try to say to its readers that the first great
assault upon Tweed was made by itself and
Mr.. Tilden, who delivered a speech upon
the subject. The attack which was then
made upon Tweed was not in the interest
of reform, or purity, or good government,
but mere fight by one faction of the party
against another faction, the inspiration of
which was the spoils. 1t was only a ques-
ton who should plumber the city-Tweed
or some other inscriptions politician ofthe
same faith. To compare that abortive at
tack with the great moral revolution which
swept the city afterwards, carried Tweed
to the penitentiary, and cast Connolly and
theothers as so much driftwOOdupOnf foreign
shores, Is like comparing the suffering in
a duck pond with the eruption Of Vesu-
vius. Mr.. Tilden, it is true, did perform
some service in the work. When it became
popular to assail the Tammany CHIEF, and
when his punishment became inevitable,
Mr.. Tilden mounted tie crest of the wave
and divided with O'COnor and Tremain the
honors that were won in the contest. But,
as the EUeaiRg Mail, Of New York, says,
q il was not until the movement which
% was begun by the Committee of Seventy
was virtually successful that Mr. Tilden
% had the moral courage to identify him
I" self with it
Another symptom Of dissatisfaction and
weakness is seen in 4 strong letter TO the
HsTGi6, which the World charges was writ
ten By Mr. John NcKeon. Mr.. McKeon is
a politician Of large following in New York.
His party was at one time almost as strong
as that Of TGmmany Hall, and in many
local battle gave the sachems more trouble
and uneasiness than they generally cared

THE New York companies engaged in
the manufacture of firearms confirm the
dispatches from the South that large guam
titles of rifles and ammunition have recently
been shipped from that city. The Rem
ingtons, it seems from a New York paper,
have within the last two months received
several orders from places in South Car
DINA, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Zone from Texas, for lots of from forty to
Zone hundred rifles, with the full compile
"ment Of ammunition, and in some cases it
has been specified in the orders that these
arms were required for the equipment of
military companies" 1t is a significant
