The Nomination of Steward.

ln last evenings ARGUS was published
an article giving some points in the life
of the Democratic candidate for governor
of this state, which should be read by
those who wish to know his antecedents,
The Chicago Times don't like the nom-
ination. 1t would have preferred Cool
baugh. Pears to US we have noticed that
name in the Times for most every vacancy
for the last six or eight years.
The Republican papers generally dis
like the nomination of Steward, and the
Chic"g go Journal (edited by the Repub-
lican candidate for lieut.. governor) is per-
fectly frantic about his nomination
which looks a little bit as though Shu-
man was scared. But the Post and Nail
Republican, says:
while it is evident that the action Of
the convention was anything but satisfac-
tory to the straight-outs, who feel peculiar
ly sore, it was probably The best it could
have adopted. The1e is com
paratively no prospect for the success Of
make the campaign more lively than il
otherwise might have been. The coali

States senator to succeed Logan, and tn:
Democrats hope by means of the alianct
effected at Springfield yesterday to elect
majority of the members. and secure
Democratic senator for six years from mex
March.
THE coalition is not to be despised o
lightly brushed aside They mean to win
if to win is possible, and it behooves tn
Republicans in every district to be earnest
active, and watchfui, or the victory within
their easy reach may be wrested from
them.

Another Term of Grantisrl.

Republicans tell US they are sick of
Grantism, that they would not again vote
for Grant, and yet by voting for Hayes
and Wheeler they vote for another term
of Grantism, beyond all reasonable ques-
ton. Please read the following and see if
you can arrive at any other conclusion:
From HGyes's Letter Of Acceptance.
THE resolutions are in accordance Uith my Uie,os,
and heartily concur in the principles they an
nOuncc."
From TYteeler's Letter Of acceptance.
ITO the summary Of doctrines enumerated by the

''17. The National Administration merits com
mendatiOn for its honorable work in the manage
ment OF domestic and foreign affairs and President
Grant describes the continued and hearty gratitude
Of the american people for his immense services in
war and in peace"
Take the above in connection with the
fact that the same crowd that hover
around the present administration are the
leaders of the Hayes campaign, and that
the same senate that recommended and
confirmed the thieves whom Grant has
appointed to office must work with Hayes
if he be elected, no man excepted, and il
shows that the election of Hayes will be
merely a continuation Of the same old set
and the same corrupt and dishonest and
extravagant management. II the people

Ethan Allen at Last Disbands.

A few weeks ago Ethan Allen issued
call for a national convention of the
Liberals, to meet in Philadelphia the last
of July. This call was repudiated by John
Cochrane, who announced that Allen was
humbug; that he represented nobody
but himself, and that the onlyforganized
Liberals were to be found in New York,
and that they, meaning Co:hrano, who
alone was organized, denounced the call.
Ethan Allen has been studying over this
affront for several weeks. trying to find
some way to get even with Cochrane. He
waited until the latter had declared for
for Hayes and decided to assemble in con-
vention by himself at Saratoga, and has
now made up his mind that the best way
to punish Cochrane is to withdraw his call
for national convention, at which no per-
son, not even Cochrane, was willing to
meet him, and declares that the great
Liberal party, that is Ethan Allen, will
support Hayes and Wheeler. All this is
promulgated in the most formal way, in a
document signed, sealed and delivered
with all the formality of a sheriff's sale of
the goods and effects Of a bankrupt con-
Germ. 1t has long been apparent, says the
n. Y. World, that the supply OF Aliens
aud Cochranes was greater than the de-
mand, and the last sale has been so cheap
that they are obliged to issue manifesto
by way of apology. Whether Allen will
now turn up as member of Cochrane's
convention, and contest the seat of the
latter, is question that time alone viii
determine. With the two camoring fol
recognition, Senator Conkling will have ;
troublesome question to decide Will
only Cochrane to pacify, it might be cas-,
for him to dispose Of the great LIBERIA
element, but with Allen disputing tn,
right of being the representative Liberal
Conkling will find great difficulty in har
moniziug the party and appeasing tn
wrath of the two Liberals of the United
States.

Springfield, nominated Sidney Myers, of
Chicago, and j. W. Singleton, of Quincy,
for electors-at-l arge in this state, and
recommended their followers to agree upon
electors in zach of the 10 congressional
districts. Their candidates are Peter
Cooper, of New York, for president, and
Newton Booth, of California, for vice
president. Their principles are to promise
to pay but never pay. They believe that
