HERALD FRIDAY 49, lS74-TRlPLE SHEET:

condemned President Grant nor Endorsed him.
In pursuance of the same harmonious policy
1t neither Endorsed nor condemned Logan by
name. The platform, as first reported, was
an inconsistent medley. In its second resolu-
ton it declared it would be unwise to cancel
any portion of the 1882, OOO 600 Of green
backs, and in its fourth it favored gradual
retirement of the legal tenders in proportion as
the bank note circulation should be increased
After a sharp and heated discussion this last
declaration was stricken out, and the republi-
can party Of Illinois stands committed
to the inconsistency of maintaining the
currency as it is, and "a return to
day"-which Is not imitation, to be
sure but is inconsistent with any contrac-
ton But it is u complete demonstration that
the republican party of illinois does not mean
to array itself in opposition to the President
The action of these two important Western
Conventions must be regarded with great COM
placency by General Grant. 1t proves that
the infahonists dare not censure him even in
the States represented by Morton and Logan.
Morton controlled his Convention, and he has
the merit Of virtually acknowledging his de-
feat by making his support of imitation an act
of fidelity to his local constituents. But poor
Logan, who is not astute and skilful enough
to make graceful retreat while seeming to
maintain his ground, stands before the coun-
try as an object of pity and derision. He goes
to Illinois to influence the Convention and has
q gag put in his mouth until its proceedings
are ended The Convention does not indorse
him nor even allude to him in its platform.
But under such circumstance silence is con-
demnation. Logan has dwindled to politi-
cal cipher in his own State, where his pres
ence was regarded as an intrusion, and his
noisy championship of imitation is virtually
condemned by the republican platform.
It is evident now that the policy of Presi-
dent Grant has triumphed. He is strongly
supported in the East and the West dare not
oppose him. Morton, like a skilful general,
keeps up show Of opposition to cover his re-
treat and Logan is deserted by his troops
when he attempts to rally them for battle.
Congress will soon adjourn, and the imitation
army is so demoralized that there is no likeli-
hood that it will ever come into the field
again. The fact that the supporters Of Nor
ton only praise him for fidelity to his
local constituents, and that the republican
convention of Illinois does not deign to men,
ton Logan at all and demands nothing be-
yond maintaining the currency as it is
favoring a resumption of specie payment as
soon as it is practicable, proves that the in
fation mania is ended and that future con-
tests on the currency will be confined to the
degree of rapidity with which the country
shall return to sound currency. The vigor
and decision of President Grant have borne
earlier fruit than could have been expected

PLENTY OF GOLD IN ENoLAND-The bull
lion in the Bank Of England increased during
the last week nine hundred and twenty-nine
thousand pounds, and now the reserve is
forty-eight and one-eighth per cent of the
hsbilities-an increase of three and one-eighth
per cent for the week. The bank directors, as
q consequence of this increase and enormous
amount of bullion, have reduced the rate of
discount and fixed the minimum at two and
half per cent. This shows very favorable
condition of British trade. They know how
to prevent great outflow of specie in Eng
land, and, therefore, can maintain specie
basis, and also to cheaper money and assist
business when gold accumulates. Our would
be fnancers talk of specie basis without
specie and when they cannot prevent it leav-
ing the country. England would have to sus-
pend specie payments, as every other country
has to suspend, when continued unfavorable
Lalnuce Of trade drains gold away.

A MAN OF LOGICAL IDEAs.-We have great
respect for the Hon. B. G.. Harris, of Mary
land, who proposes to run for Congress on the
theory that 'this is white mans govern
ment," and declares 'that if elected his first
act will be to move that all seats in Congress
occupied by colored men be declared vacant"
Mr.. Harris is one of those bold men whom we
always know where to find. He would be
curiosity in Congress, like Whalley, the mem
Der OF Parliament, who believes Mr.. Gladstone
to be Jesuit and Arthur Orion to be Roger
Tichborne. Whalley once went to Jail for his
opinions, and when he rises in the House
members call upon him to sing a song until
he sits down. man of this type would be a
comfort to tedious and bored Congress.
And such man Mr.. Harris will be should he
succeed in his canvass

THE Liberal REPUBLICANS. Well informed
people have for some time believed that the
liberal republican party was dead and had
found rest by some process of interment or
cremation. But it seems that there is small
and faithful remnant still left, and that it met
the other day at Buffalo. Among those pres
ent were General Cochrane and Mr.. Manierre
of New York. ''There was o free interchange
of views" and it was resolved unanimously to
recommend an independent and distinct State
Convention, as well as Independent Congress
sional nominations. This State Convention
will be held at Syracuse in August.

The NAPOLEON BREAcH.-Prince Jerome Ma
paleon having announced that he will run as
Bonapartist candidate for the Assembly,
Cassagnac, who is the organ of the Bona
parties in Paris, announces that he will OPP
pose him in every way. We presume, then,
that Prince Jerome has not been pardoned for
his want OF zeal to the Prince Imperial. Con-
siderlng however, that he is the heir to the
Prince Imperial, and if anything happened
to the lad he would be Napoleon v. in the
eyes of the faithful, it is interesting to watch
the acerbity of Cassagnac and the loyal fol-
lowers of Chiselhurst.

GAMBErTA.-We have never deemed Gam
beta q wise man, but we are glad to see that
years seem to bring him wisdom. As the
leader of the dominant fraction Of the repub-
lican party in France the developments of his
character are of unusual interest The Lon
don Times, referring to his recent speech in
the Assembly, says that he seemed to have
completely ''emancipated himself from the
traditions of old days." and spoke like an
experienced, self-controlled debater,' making
o speech ''such as no one need be ashamed
of, and such as is not often heard ct ver-
sailles." Furthermore, adds the Times,
'shis moderation of tone and sentiment
was remarkable, and gives hopes that
he may yet shine as member OF
that conservative republican government
which we are taught to believe is
one day to establish liberty, order and pros
perity III France" This is an extraordinary
recognition from the conservative Tunes
Recognizing, as we have always done, the
power OF Gambetta, and believing that there
can be no true republic that is not based upon
conservatism this wise and prudent demon
stration leads us to hope that he and his
friends are learning that wisdom without
which liberty can never live in France.
