Call for the Republican National
Convention.

The next Union Republican National Conven-
ton for the nomination of candidates for Presl-
dent and Vice President ofthe United States, will
be held in the city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday,
June I4th, 1876, at IL o'clock noon, and will con-
sst of delegates from each State equal to twice the
number Of its Senators and Representatives in
Congress and of two delegates from each organ
lied Territory and the District Of Columbia.
In calling the convention for the election of
delegates the committees Of the several States are
recommended to invite all republican electors and
al other voters, without regard to past political
difference or previous party utilization, who are
opposed to revivipg sectional issues, and desire to
promote friendly feelings and permanent harmony
throughout the country by maintaining and en-
forcing all the constitutional rights of every cit
zen, including the full and free exercise of the
right of suffrage without intimidation and with
out fraud, and who are in favor of continued pro-
secution and fuller punishment of all official dis
honesty and an economical administration
Of the government by honest, faithful and capable
officers who are in favor of making such reforms
in the government as experience may from time
to time suggest, who are opposed TO impairing the
credit Of the nation by depreciating any of its OBJ
legations, and in favor of sustaining in every way
the national faith and financial honor; who hold
that the common school system is the nursery Of
American liberty and should be maintained alb
solutely free from sectarian control; who be-
lieve that for the promotion of these ends the
direction Of the government should continue to
be confded to those who adhere to the principles
of l776, support them as incorporated in the con-
mixing and strengthening the fundamental princi-
pie Of national unity in this centennial anniyers-
sary Of the birth of the republic.

the charges and sprung them upon the
Convention and the country at time
when they could not be met and their fai-

fortunate, and his assailants, if they hoped
to defeat him at all hazards, equally un-
fortunate. We do not by any means con-
slider Mr.. Blaine the ideal candidate or
the best even that the republicans might
nominate; but we rejoice that he has come
out of the trial to which he has been sub
iected by the continued attacks upon him

with which he has been assailed, and we
can do no less than congratulate him on

that with the bitter feeling now existing aga inst
Mr.. Iilden among members of his own party it
would be hazardous thing for the st. Louis Con-

at is getting to look very much as if Mr.. Blaine
will have clear majority at Cincinnati as
soon as the complimentary votes are cast. This
support of his candidacy by republicans East and
West must be accepted as evidence that strong
er nominee could be put up. The persistent efforts
Of the scandal bureau at Washington 10 bring him
into disgrace have actually been of service to him
The endeavor to tarnisn his good name has awak-
ened that sense Of fair play which is inherent with
American people, and has really advanced his
chances Of the nomination. There is nothing ex-
uayagant in the prophecy that Mr.. Blaine will be
/ the republican candidate for the Presidency and
that he viii be elected .-Bditimore american.

DIVISION Nv The ORDER OF cool
TEMPT AIRS

The twenty second annual session Of the Right
Worthy Grand Lodge of Good Templars of the
World was held last week in Louisville, Kentucky.
The principal interest centered in the discussion of
the "color question" which has agitated the body
for several years and was forced to issue at this
session by demand Of the representatives of the
British Grand Lodges, that the Constitution should
be SO amended to allow the charterng of sep
arate Grand Lodges, in any State, District or
Territory where differences of language or race
prevent united working, the constitution provid
ing that only one Grand Lodge should be chartered
in any State, District or Territory After two days
discussion a substitute was adopted reaffirmng
the broad doctrine that the Order in no way recog-
nizes any difference Of color race, and that any
proviso in any Grand Lodge Constitution that con-
travenes this fundamental principle is absolutely
null and void. At the same time the Right Worthy
Grand Lodge recognizes the right of Grand Lodges
to determine to whom it shall grant charters for
subordinate Lodges. This was proposed by the
Canadian representatives, accepted by the South
ern members and passed by vote of eighty five
representatives from thirty-two Grand Lodge jul
rsdictions to ffty-eight reporting twenty four jul
risdictions. Upon the announcement of the vote
the British delegations, two of whom were officers
of Right Worthy Grand Lodge, announced their
secession from the body. The seceders represent
the Grand Lodges of England, Scotland, Wales,
Ireland and Nova Scotia, including nearly half
the membership Of the Order The next session
of the Right Worthy Grand Lodge is to be held
at Portland, Maine.

In sharp contrast with the yiperous ar
ticles of such papers as the New York
Sun, Boston Herald and Maine Standard,
in relation to Mr. Blaine, are the articles
copied in our columns from the New
York Tribune and Boston Globe, neither
of which advocates the nomination
of Mr. Blaine for President. These
last mentioned papers say frankly
that Mr.. Blaine is not the candidate of
their choice, but they denounce the at
tempt to blacken his character and declare
that he has shown himself innocent of all
charges brought against him, and is ma
terialy strengthened before the public by
the assaults which he has sustained.

From the New York Tribune of May 81


Mr.. BLAINE AND HIS ASSAILANTS.
The campaign against Mr.. Blaine which
was begun some weeks ago and has been
kept up SO vigorously does not seem thus
far to have been brilliantly successful. 1t
certainly has not "blown Blaine sky high"
as was expected. Either Blaine is one OF
the smartest and luckiest rogues in the
world, or he is innocent ofthe accusations
which have been brought against him. If
Mr.. Blaine has any character left he owes
it either to his own honesty or his smart
ness and good luck, certainly not to any
feebleness in the attacks that have been
made upon him, or any disposition on the
part of his enemies to show him mercy.
The Tribune has looked on the spectacle
Of attack and defense as perfectly i'm
partial spectator, only occasionally pro-
testing against unnecessary brutality, and
of course getting paid for it in bad Ian
guage. And it seems to US that the whole
conspiracy is failure. Blaine is stronger
to-day in his party and before the people
than ever before. Doubtless the gentle
men who organized the attack are more
than ever convinced of his unfitness-the
natural effect of their unfortunate crusade
would be to embitter them-but they have
been all this time addressing the cool and
intelligent jury of the people in an endecv-
or to show why James G.. Blaine is unfit
to be President. He may be unfit, but not
on account Of the things they have alleged
against him. So far they have totally
failed to smutch him. The consequence
is that he goes into the Cincinnati Conven-
ton the only candidate who has been al.
ready tried in the furnace and by fire and
has come out unscathed The bitterness
of the opposition to him has strengthened
him.
No candid man, as 1t seems to US, can
read the history of the Blaine charges and
gationswhich have taken so much
space in the newspapers for several weeks
past, without reaching a conclusion favor
able to his entire innocence. No open ac-
cusation has been made that he has not
freely and frankly met and answered :;
and In every instance he has driven his
accuscrs back from the open charge TO the
safer refuge of suggestion, hint, and in
situation. The very thing has occurred
which the Tribune..a few weeks ago point
ed out as possible 10 happen from the
overzeal of those gentlemen who claimed
TO be Secretary Bristow's special advo-
Gates and supporters; they have aroused
popular sympathy for Mr.. Blaine, and
have put him in the strong position Of
having been already under the heaviest
possible fire, and so have given him the
leading place among candidates.
Had the reports which have been circu-
lated touching his personal integrity and
official purity been shown to be well
founded and true, they would have been
fatal to Mr.. Blaine's ambition. Not only
that; they would have ruined him forever
as public man. Even as the facts were,
and he able as he has shown himself tc
demonstrate his own innocence and the
groundlessness OF the charges, he might
By delay, have been destroyed as cand

EX-SENAToE BRoWNLow believes
that it will make very little difference
as to who is nominated, or what plat
form is adopted at st. Louis, the
Southern Democrats will fall in and
support the nOminee.-Enchdnge.
OF course they will, because they
have confidence in the Democracy

on the right kind of a PLATFORM
Clinton Age.
We would say to our Democratic
contemporary, that it is true as the
Age says, that the Southern Democ-
racy know that the platform and
nominee of the National Democratic
Convention, will be the right thing,
or the nearest right for them, they are
likely to get. 1t was precisely so
when, in 1864, the National Demo-
cratic Convention, in the face of a
great rebellion, which President Lin
coins administration was striving to
overthrow, declared that the war to
save the Union was failure, and
called for a cessation of hostilities.
The same Southern Democracy tho't
the Democratic platform right, and
they have not forgotten their then
friends in treason, and they think
now, from the same standpoint as
they then did, that whatever stand the
Democratic party takes, OF whoever
it dominates, it is the rightest thing
for them and their peculiar views that
they can obtain, aud SO they fall in to
a man. This is the kernel that consti-
tutes the right Kind, to which the Age
alludcs, bat did not explain.

IT is our opinion that Gov. English,
of Connecticut, is the strongest man
the Democrats can run for President.
Yet, we do not hear his name men,
toned in that connection. He might
not be the strongest in the South, but
in that quarter is not where the real
contest is located. The salient poiut
for the Democracy to make is to car
~, say half-dozen States in the
North, and, we believe English could
come nearer doing that thing than
any other man in that party. Tilden
might carry New York, or Hendricks,
Indiana, but the former could not
carry Indiana, nor the latter, New
York. Thurman would be beaten in
Ohio, his own State, and also in In
diana. English is the best and strong
est man they could possibly nominate,

was q decided preference for Justice
Davis, of the Supreme Court. The
Democrats are not going wool-gather'
ing this year. Nominating Repub
lican, or one who has been Repub
lican for years, is not the kind O.
fruit Democracy bears this year. i
there is any one thing more distaste
fnl than another, in aspiring men fol

Davis willing to mount any steed, o.

and this, though during the create

We are presented to-day in this coun.
try with the spectacle of the loyalty
test in the North being passport to
honor and distinction, while i'm the
South il Is considered bar to such
honor. The future plans of the Dem
ocratic party South, and largely in
the North, too, are inconsistent with
trusting power in the hands of such
men as showed true, genuine loyalty
by opposing the dissolution of the
Union. The mission of the two great
parties are as distinctly defined On
this line as they have ever been, and
this, time will demonstrate, however
much the northern Democracy may
attempt to whistle it down the wind
