Somebody has kindly furnished the
Sentinel a copy of the Life and Public
s rvices of Oliver p. Morton" As the
Sentinel Is just now engaged in the work
developing some obscure points In his
civil service, we naturally turned to that
part OF the record to see II the
Sentinel's knowledge Of Morton had
been appropriated by the biographer.
We could not find line OF all that deeply
interesting reading which the Sentinel
has produced. But imagine our astonish-
ment when our eye fell upon the follow
ing, referring to the time when Mr..
Morton "hsd devised a new system Of state
government" Every dollar disbursed
during one yesr and nine months
of his financial administration was
paid on his check, proper and sufficient
vouchers being taken IN all cases. Not a
dollar was lost or missppropriated." Now,
just there the Sentinel's record should
come in. There ought to be star at the
end OF that sentence referring to foot
note containing the voucher for Morton's
cow feed, and the twenty-five or thirty
other vouchers for his private expenses.

strength depends entirely upon whei her
there is better Prospect for electing,him than

Since the above estimation was made,
Tennessee with her % votes, Missouri
with 10 votes, portion of the Minnesota
delegation, have pronounced for Hen

that state, formerly counted for Tildep.
The tide is now setting in for Mr.. Hen

that second ballot at S.. Louis will be

The Contest AT Cincinnati.

While the country at large is looking on
the political currents that are setting In
toward Cincinnati, and specializing as to
which stream will engulf the rest, the
leaders of the party, the inside ring, are
preparing for most bitter and persistent
fight over the nomination. Blaine is the
popular man, while Conkling, Morton and
wrestle, and by every powsr at their
command they will seek to overthrow
him. 1t will be vigorous fight, and great
fear is exercised lest there be disruption
of the party.

The real significance OF the revolu-

the mesgre dispatches that have
been received. 1t was generally be-
lieved that the willingness of the de-
posed sovereign to sccede to the demand
OF the allied powers was constrained by
the fear of its results upon his own sub.

In less than two week. the decision Of
the Republican party, as to their presiden-
tial candidate, will be made. As the situa-
ton now presents itself, Mr.. Blaine has
the approval of the popular branch of the
party, while in the quiet background the
determined whisperings OF the Office
holders and leaders of the party are heard
plotting for his overthrow. There is no
special reason why Mr.. Morton should
not have been the peoples candidate in
stead OF Blaine, If, when in times past be
had taken issue with the administration
be bad stood his ground. But his defec-
tions never lasted long. He lost the
golden opportunity when ne sue
cumbed to Grants veto of the
financial measure of 1874. Had he then
cut loose from the administration, Mr.
Morton would have beaten Blaine in every
Western state, and could have received
the nomination with ease. But Morton
could not resist the Establishments of pres
idential pa ronsge for what was promised
In the future, and Blaine stepped into the
place he deserted. The result is manifest
to-day, as state after state falls into line
endorsing the populsr favorite. He chung
to the administration, entered the presi-
Dental ring as about the third
choice of the administration. Conk-
ling now appearing first, Washburne
second. The presidential ring will be
more formidable at Cincinnati than
appears from present indications. 1t
will combine the strength of all the csndi-
dates save Bristow and Blaine, and will
finally determine the choice, unless Blaine
carries the day on the first or second bal
LOT. If it should happen that Bristow
holds the balance of power, and persis:-
emily holds on, the "Grea. Unknown
will then come to the front. There is some
cohesiveness in the Republican party, but
they have never had such test as the
Cincinnati convention will produce, and ii
is extremely doubtful If there is held at
Cincinnati a convention that terminates
with any satisfactory degree of harmony.
The West can not in any event be satisfied.
Every candidate before the convention is
an out and out bullionist, and favors the
most stringent contraction. There Is no
man spoken of for the nomination that
will favor a repeal. It is said that Mr..
Morten's Western view is in favor of some
modification of the Sherman bill that be
helped to make, which has almost bank
rupted the country, but his Eastern opinion
is with the bullionists. If Blaine is NOM
mated, he will have the support of the
money power, even if the admin
istrstion should be lukewarm.
But he will be weak before the people in
the West. The party leaders see this, and
1t will be exceedingly difficult to deter
mine what course will best secure prom
Use ofsuccess. Altogether there is storm
cloud lowering over Cincinnati. If it
should burst over them like a water spout
and crush the party out of existence, it
would be happy thing for the country.

A discouraging sign for Senator Morton's
presidential aspirations is the reappesr-
ance In newspaper discussions of speculs-
lions as to his physical capacity for the
duties of chief executive. The New York
Herald, whose political westher-cock just
now seems most sensitive to the Conkling
breeze, affects to regard Morton's Illness
as placing him altogether out of the field
as a candidate, and this sentiment finds no
feeble echo in the provincial press. 1t is
worthy of notice that this feeling is not
wholly confined to the senators pronounced
enemies, but is apparent in quarters to
which he has confidently looked for sup
port. Is it possible that Mr.. Morton's friends
are disposed to abandon his cause as hope
less. and take this method of spsring him
the modification of a direct desertion? 1t
looks very much like 1t. Mr.. Morton's
health, always precarious, is no worse now
than it has been for months past, and the
revival of the discussion in quarters friend
ly to him can only be regarded as indica-
tive of disposition to shelve him with a
complimentary vote, and then transfer the
strength which he now regards as his own
to some other candidate. Perhaps the ru-
mors of ConkliDg G. Morton coalition which
are finding their way into the columns of
the Eastern papers, are strsws pointing in
the same direction. The New York Sun has
q paragraph of friendly advice to Morton,
counseling him to abandon his personal
ambition and drive the best possible bar
gain with Conkling for his influence at
Cincinnati. The Brooklyn Eagle details
with some minuteness the Grant Conkling
programme in which Hayes is said to be
slated for vice president and Morton for
secretary Of the treasury. The great war
governor is not man to mistake the signs
of the times. It is possible that he has
read the writing on the wall and, conscious
OF the hopelessness OF his own case, has
put such strength as he has been able to
gather where 1t will do the most good. II
one can not be president himself, 1t
is something to say who shall be,
and the secretary ship of the treasury
is no Insignificant plum. It would be
singular If a mutual betrayal has been
going on; II Morton's friends have con-
spired to abandon him, making his in
firmities the pretext, and az the same time
he has been plotting to sell out his support
to Conkling at Cincinnati.

The Hon. James B. Ryan is a man OF de-

that all personal prejudices ought to be

false measures, and that the best thing
remaining for 1t to do is to take its hands
of-after n scinding the stupid "resolve"
of returning to specie payments in 1879!
The way tor the financial tangle to be un-
