Some Premonitions of a Third Party

The greenback men mean business They
have tried in vain to capture the Repub-
lican party and the Democratic party, and
each of these great organizations will de-
clare itself through its National Conven-
ton in favor of paying the debts Of the
Government without fraud. Neither Of
them will accept or tolerate imitation; and
the greenback men are thus left out IN the
cold.
The next thing for them is to set up n
party aud an organization of their own (;
and the signs of such purpose are broad
and plain In Ohio the majority of tho
greenhackers are Democrats. They are
the same fellows who made such n stir in
that State last year. and succeeded in COM
hitting the Democratic party to their
dogma, and in getting it crushed in the
State election. Now they have done their
best TO get entire control of the deleGa-
ton to IT. Louis and have failed; yet they
have number Of the delegates, and are
going TO make in that convention square
issue on the question of more irredeein-
able paper money.
Apparently, the purpose OF these gen.
tlcmeu is TO bolt when they are finally
voted down at st. Louis, to have a new
convention of their own, ana TO nominate
that aged statesman, BILL ALLEN, rs their
| candidate for President. With him they
will probably take for Vice-President some
| Greenbacker of Republican antecedents
WILLIAM ID. KELLEY of Pennsylvania for
instance; and thus we shall have TO fight
| II OUT again in the election OF November.
Three PARTIES and three candidates foi
President may be more interesting than
two. The great problem about il Ii
whether this imitation movement will harm
the Republicans more than the Democrats
On that problem The Sun will doubtless
be able to cast great deal OF light us III,

Mr.. Blaine Brought TO ,he Test.

The battle ground in the Presidential
campaign will be the great states of New
York. Pennsylvania, ohio, and Indiana.
The Democrats stand the best chance OF
carrying New York and Indiana, while the
balance of the probabilities in the other
two is with the Republicans. But the re-
suit is so doubtful in all of them that both
parties will contest each with the utmost
skill and vgor.
OF course, then, the Republicans will de-
sire TO have candidate who is thoroughly
acceptable to thcparty in these four states
Does anybody Imagine that n candidate
can he nominated at Cincinnati unless he
has the cordial support of the delegations
of the four States that cast nearly one
third of the whole electoral vote of the
Union and two of which hold preliminary
elections in October that will exert pow
erful influence upon the general result in
November?
Tried by this test. what are the prospects
OF Mr.. BLAINE at Cine innati? The New
York delegation is practically unit for
Mr. CoSKLING; and II there should be n
few dissenting delegates. none of them will
be for BLAINE. The Pennsylvania dele
gates are instructed for HARTRANFT. They
will drop him after n while, but where is
the proof that they will then take up
BLAINE? The Ohio delegation is pledged
TO HAYES; and If at any stage OF the con-
test they leave him, il will not be for the
purpose Of going over to BLAINE. Indiana
s. for MORTON, first aud last. Ills lines may
break and his home guard scatter, but
probably not man of them will rally TO
the standard Of BLAINE.
These four States will cast two hundred
and two votes in the Convention. What
ever turn affairs may take toward the
close Of the struggle, not one of these votes
will be given to BLAINE in the early stages
OF the contest and when they break from
CoNKLING, HARTRASFT HAYES, and NOR
TON, IT Will pretty certainly be for the ben
eft of some other asprant than BLAINE.
We think it would trouble the most san
guino supporters of Mr.. BLAINE to name
ten delegates out of the two hundred aud
two from New York, Pennsy lvana, OHIO,
md Indiana whom they know of their own
personal knowledge TO be for the nomna-
ton of BLAINE. ID, - not this end his case

Bishop THIRLwALL Of England, who re-
Gently died, could speak the English language

at tho age OF four ho was proficient in

eleven he composed large and learned

his career in the April number of tho Edinburgh
Reufetc. Fortunately for him, nature dealt IN ore
kindly with him after his eleventh year, rs he
pursued his way through life. II his intellect

How the Republicans Sustain Corrup-
ton.

No investigation yet made has resulted
in more conclusive proof Of ncompetency,
malfeasance in office, and systematic fraud
than that OF the Public Printer, which re-
Gently closed at Washington. His own
books, his own subordinates, his own ac-
counts, and his own testimony, without
reference to the experts called in, estab-
lish every charge made, leaving no doubt
whatever that III the last seven wears OF
CLAPP's administration three or four mil
lions of the peoples money have been
squandered and stolen.
But in spite of these deadly exposures,
the Printing Ring was strong enough to
find defender on the committee and to
rally the Republicans OF the House to
Its support. Mr.. BALLou of Rhode
Island appeared rs the champion of ali
these iniquities, and attempted to exteuu-
ate them on the most fiimsy aud feeble
pretexts. He first pleaded to the jurisdlc-
tion of the House, AS CLAPP did when h.
found the evidence crushing him. upon
the ground that the Public Printer IL an
officer of the Senate, and is not subject
10 investigation by any other tribunal.
Mr.. BALLoU did not attempt TO deny the
charges against this officer, or to dis
pute the testimony proving them. But he
had the effrontery to justify the most
barefaced violations of law, mi,nppropri-
alton of public money, false charges and
fraudulent vouchers, as II they were com
mon trifies not 10 he condemned, but ra-
ther to be commended
AS Mr. ANTHONY has habitually de-
fend, d the Public Printer, and white
washed him in the last Congress- IL IL per-
haps natural that Mr.. BALLoU should imi-
tate his example, and thus strive to break
the force of this real investigation, which
Is the frst that has ever attempted TO 20
down to the roots of this corruption. The
Influences that operated heretofore to
suppress and pervert the truth were
equally Industrious on this occasion,
but they only succeeded in capturing the
Republican member from Rhode Island.
Mr.. SINGLETON of Mississippi grisped TIA o
whole subject with marked ability, and
presented II 40 clearly and ooncsely 10 the

A Comic Obstacle that May Prove
Serious.

Tho Syracuse Courier still advocates the
selection of IIoRArIo SEYMOUR at st. Louis
a. n candidate to be taken up and adopted
after the friends of TILDEN, HENDRICKs,
BAYARD, aud HANCOCK have worn each
any one of them.
There is one obstacle in the way OF Mr..
SEYMorRs nomination which, we fear, the
Courier does not sufficiently take into ac-
count. lie lately wrote IA letter which was
construed by the majority of people as a
refusal 10 be a candidate AT all, aud n no.
tlce that IL he should be nominated he
would decline 1t Is true that when this
letter is carefully analyzed, It's phraseology
does not bear ont such IA construction; vet
the press and the public generally have
taken it in that sense.
Mr.. SEYMOUR has been noted for accept
ing important nominations after he had
been thought TO have declined them. Say
ing, cannot be your candidate" he has
yet at last consented to run; and the
Courier makes no secret of its belief that
he Will DO willing TO run now. although
he has apparently refused.
Now, this is "a sort OF thing that may be
done too often. After one or two expert
ments, II tends to become so comical as to
be ridiculous, and we think that in Mr..
SEYMoUR's case it has now pretty closely
reached that point. No doubt he would
make IA nrst-class President IL he were
elected but il he had refused out and out,
absolutely, and .unchangeably, he would
not have done II very much more to the
purpose than he has done already. If, after
NIL, he should now be nominated aud ac-
cept, there is danger that such a shout of
laughter would come up from the whole
country rs would effoctually destroy any
prospect of his election.
On the whole, then, we suppose Mr.. SEY-
MoUR must now be left out OF the account
as IL man who has become unavailable.
