The CaucuSnS.

The results of the caucuses in this city, so
overwhelming in their character, have vir-
tually decided the contest in this district. Mr..
Reed has every reason to be proud of the
hearty endorsementhe he has received in this city
where he was born. That more than thou
sand voters, prompted only by their own gen.
erous instincts, should turn out in a drenching
rainstorm to cast their votes for him at eau
cuses is fact that shows the popular feeling
stronger than words, and is the best indica-
tion in the world of what will be done at the
polls next September.
AS the matter is now summed up, Mr..
Reed has certainly one hundred and thirty
seven votes, which is more than majority of
the Convention, while Mr.. Burleigh has
eighty-nine. From our own advices we as
sumo that Mr.. Reed will have large proper
ton of the twenty-one delegates who have
not hitherto indicated their preferences.

HAYES and Wheeler.

Daily multiplying indications of popular
favor toward the Republican nominees attest
the wisdom of the national convention in the
selection of the ticket. Though there was no
striking display of enthusiasm when the final
ballot was announced, all felt that the choice
was one TO be approved, and this feeling has
been followed by constantly deepening con-
viction that it was a wise and happy one. 1t
is ticket of character and solid worth, and
one to be proud Of This pride is fast be-
coming enthusiasm. Indeed the Republicans
have abundant reasons for qualification. Six
months ago the prospect for Democratic
restoration was alarming. Since the adjourn
ment of the Cincinnati convention that pros
pect has shrunk to the dimmest of possbili-
ties. The feeling is widespread that no man
can be named at st. Louis who has reason.
able probability of occupying the White
House next March. For the first time since
1868 the Republican party is united. There
are no malcontents in its ranks. The lead
ers of the Fifth Avenue conference have given
in their adhesion to Hayes and Wheeler, and
the Liberals of 1872, almost to man, are
once more in the Republican camp. The
nominations appeal alike to the strong parti-
san and to the man of moderate views. The
one is content with the orthodoxy of the can
didates, proud OF their achievements, and
confident that in the future as in the past
they will prove faithful to the party creed
and earnest in their labors for party success /;
the other is pleased with the purity of their
personal character, their record as advocates
of political and economical reform, their in
egrity an ability, and the good administra-
tion which their candidacy promises.
t There is much in the character of the two
men to inspire both confidence and zeal.
Gen. Hayes is gentleman whose life has
been a history of well fulfilled duty and patri-
otic labor. Modest and unobtrusive, he has
never attempted to push his own fortunes,
even when such endeavor would be perfectly
proper. But the people of his State have dis
covered his merit, and have advanced him
from post to post as in every position he has
filled he has developed qualities which have
fitted him to go up higher. The regard in
which he is held receives striking illustra-
ton in the fact that he was the second choice
of every faction in the Cincinnati convention.
A Greek commander was once chosen for a
similar reason, and the instance is cited as a
proof of the wisdom of antiquity. Mr..
Wheeler is known to the country as man of
strong intellect and wide culture and con-
servative views, who has made his. mark in
whatever he has attempted, who commands
the admiration of his friends and the respect
of his opponents, and whose famous compro-
mise is regarded as singularly able and wise
political measure. With so good ticket the
Republicans have no cause to fear any nomi
nations that st. Louis may make.

THE FINANCIAL PLANK.-On the financial
question, the resolution of the convention at
Cincinnati must be interpreted in the light Of
facts. 1t was reported by Governor Hawley,
and it is curious fact that its vagueness,
which some regard with suspicion, was due to
his unyielding opposition to any approval of
the act of 1875, which he voted against, and
has always regarded as entirely insufficient for
resumption. As a positive hard-money man,
hostile to initiation in any and every form, be
demanded at the time that act was passed
something less open to objection and more
faithful to the nations pledges, aud to this day
refuses to commit himself to a measure which
was intended to cause, and under some circum-
stances might permit, dangerous imitation.
His position, therefore, is not to be confounded
with that of men who demanded the repeal of
the resumption act; he demands something
better, they something less or nothing. But
Mr.. Hawley's position prevented emphatic en-
dorsement of the act, while the committee was
not disposed to demand anything better. 1t is
pity that the convention had not adopted, in
place of its resolution, the recent emphatic
declaration of Governor Hayes against any re-
peal of the resumption act, unless with surer
and more speedy means for resumption. That
tion and probably that of the majority in the
convention But we have all along declared
that this year 'the candidate must be the plat
form," and it is fortunate for the Republicans
that in regard to the financial issue, they have
in the candidate himself a platform which is,
better than that of the convention.-N YORK

o PITIABLE ignorance. In face of direct
evidence to the contrary the argus insists on
calling Hayes and Wheeler salary-grabbers.
Mr.. Wheeler invested the extra pay in gov
ernment bonds, then returned these bonds to
the Treasury, thus discharging $4,000 of the
national debt. Gen. Hayes was not in con-
gress when the act of 1873 was passed, and
steadily opposed the act of 1866.

RESUMPTION is apparently the rock upon
which the st. Louis convention will split.
But these Democrats will sacrifice all the
principles they ever pretended to hold when
the hunger for Office possesses them, and just
now their appetites are stimulated by the
taste of plurder which control of the House
has afforded them.

FASHIONABLE FUNITURE.-Dickens, in his
description of the Veneering family, stated
that their character assimilated with that of
their furniture-"they smet too much of the
workshop, and their surface was triAe
sticky This might apply to much of the
modern furniture. 1t appears thin, "shammy,'
and new, and, like the Veneerings themselves
is adapted to new society of the mushroom
order. 1t is pitiable to see those honest men,
who are respected and revered in their busi-
ness circles, made to play the part of buffoon

ments. They dash into an element for which
they are entirely untitled, and show them
selves to the worst possible advantage. After
procuring the most snowy house they can find
one of those built by the yard by some enter

VEGETiNE
WUI Cleanse ScrOfuIa from the

HONEST OPINION.

MIR. II, R. STEVENS
DEAR SIR-This is to show thar my son was taken
sick in January, 1854, with Scrofua, which came out
was swelled more than twice its natural size. He
had several doctors of high standing in their profess
sion-two from Boston and three from Charlestown-
without getting bit better He was obliged to lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes Of
his living we were told to try VEGETINE, the great
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before we could see great change The sores run SO
bad that we had to change the cloths four or five
times day. Still, he was getting better; for he
could move his limbs and help himself little. He
was soon able to sit up in bed and, by constant
of VEGETINE, it has cured him. He has lame
leg, which he will probably have for life but we all
honestly believe, if we had used VEGETINE before
we had bothered with those doctors, it would have
saved the Of his leg, and restored it to natural
health. hope all those troubled with Scrofula will
read this testimony of me and my son, who is now
well and able to speak for himself.
CATHERINE MAHONEY,
DANIEL MAHONEY,
10 Trenton St., Charlestown, Mass
May 10, 1872.
The above plain but honest statement conclusivey
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of the
VEGETINE in Scrofula.
VEGETINE is acknowledged by all classes of people
to be the best and most reliable blood purifier in the
world.
Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists.

The state Convention

The action Of the Democratic
State convention will command the
approval not only Of the Democracy
il this State, bet IN every State
where the time honored principles
Of the party are still held in esteem.
II is unnecessary, perhaps, in
Convention called merely for the
purpose Of selecting delegates TO
represent the State in National
Convention, that ground should be
taken in respect TO issues not likely
to be presented TO the latter and
still less likely TO enter into the
coming Presidential contest. 1t
appeared, however, at very early
stage Of the proceedings that por-
ton Of the Convention was dispos-
ed 70 make use Of the occasion for
promulgating their views upon the
currency question without especial
~ careing to ask whether that
question would be raised at st.
Louis or elsewhere and such be-
ing the case it was invertable that
whatever the conflict Of opinion
there was upon that question in
7 the Convention should come TO the
surface, and that the opposing
views should be sharply antagon-
lied. That they were so anatgon-
lied that the conflict was fairly
fought out, and that no attempt
was made either to effect bar
mony Of opinion in respect to ques-
tons upon the differences existed,
or to ignore those differences, will
probably be regarded now as the
best course that could possibly
have been pursued. By the large
mass Of Democracy in the State it
will certainly lie so regarded, mas
much as it was shown how firmly
the party adheres TO its principles /;
and even the minority in the Con-
vention can scarcely fail to feel
some satisfaction ia a result which
enables them to show TO their con-
stituents that they have been
fairly represented and that any
disappointment they may feel was
unavoidable.
OF the choice made by the Con-
vention for representatives at st.
Louis Il cannot be necessary to
speak at length. They are, with
scarcely an exception, men known
and trusted OF the Democracy 10
the whole State, and in whose
hands the interest OF the party In
the National Convention can be
safely left. That they viii repre-
sent their State and record the vote
OF Michigan for candidates whom
