II
Jones county, the home of the Hon
John Russell, sends eleven delegatei
TO tho Republican State Convention
instructed to do all they honorAbly car
to secure his nomination to the Office
OF Governor. Mr.. Russell is evident.
ly the favorite of the State Register
That paper has taken more decided
stand for particular person for Gov
crnor than any other paper of note IN
the State. There has been very little oi
q decided preference for any man for
this Office expressed through the press
generally. There seems to be tacitly,
by common consent, decided feeling
exhibited to have the convention as.
scmble untrammeled, and a strong in.
dication manifested that when it does
so assemble, it shall proceed Ia
select candidates upon its own impair
tial, unbiased Judgment, having only
in view the best good of the great
party whose record and whose princi-
pies are so dear to the great mass OF
the people. We are glad to see this
we believe it assures us good strong
ticket ; we understand it to mean that
individuals are as nothing, compared
with the veal Of the party. II we are
not much mistaken in our estimate,
the Republican State Convention OF
the 3Oth inst, will be rousing one
ono Of earnest, honest sincerity and
unfiinchlng fidelity 10 principle; one
of enthusiasm, which will do an ex-
cellent work, and speed on the Repub.
lican ball with increased impetus.
There is now that feeling exhibited
in the Republican ranks which looks
toa reunion with il, in the main, OF
all the greater portion OF the honest
men who have been lukewarm or who
have temporarily estranged them
selves from the party in tho past three
years. There should not be any
attempt on the part OF . few TO dictate
to the convention any radical schemes,
any pot measures of their own, which
would bring inharmony to tho party.
No such action, II attempted, must be
allowed to create q ripple. Ii there be
those who will press such measures,
let them be urged to forbear, in oil
kindness, and by the use of fair and
legitimate argument; but II they can
not be appeased, let us part company
with them in a dignitied, but firm
manner. There is no single measure,
however dear to any Republican,
which will warrant his opposing the
best interests of the grand old party
because that measure is not adopted
in the platform. We see, plainly
evinced all along the Republican col.
umn, a determination to stand by the
old ship, and bury whatever minor
differences may exist.

The escape of Tweed from his
custOdians is an exact parallel of
that of Harry Genet, and probably
no sane man in the country doubts
that there was COLLISION and cOnni-
vance which were literally paid for.
The whole thing would be supreme
ly ridiculous if it were not such a
sorry burlesque on tho administra-
ton of Justice. Mr.. Twecd's sump-
tuous living in Ludlow street Jail,
the liberties allowed him of receiv.
ing and entertaining friends, and of
making visits and taking rides out.
side the prison, the ease with which
he was allowed to slip out of the
hands of his attendants ut the house
of his son-in.law, and the hustle
and stir made through the Police
Department in pretended HINT for
him, make up as complete a satire
as the sourest cynic could desire.
1t is tolerably safe to assume that
Mr.. Tweed will not be found, that
ample substance has been or will
be placed where he can put his
hands on it, that New York city will
never recover that $6,OOO,O0O, and
that the great Boss will spend the
remnant of his days abroad. Per.
haps a little philosophical satisfac.
ton may be felt that New York is
rid of a thief so formidable that its
machinery of justice from the Dep.
uty Sheriffs to the Court of Appeals
was unable to cope with him, the
influences welded in his behalf be-
ing too much for the moral stamina.
