THE GREAT UNKNOWN,

llE hNEA1 CNhNV"N}
to whom Mr.. Blaine has so frequently
referred as the man who will be sud.
denly sprung upon the Cincinnati
Convention by the Grant clique, IS
now known to he Mr.. Washburne,
of Illinois, now Minister to Paris.
Grant owes his advancement in life
to WashbnrDc, and is determined to
secure him the nomination if possible.
1t was Washburn's wish that his
name should not be mentioned too
early as IL candidate. lie is very I'M
popular with his party, and he knows
it, and was therefore afraid to give
his lcgions of enemies time to kill him
off by showing his absolute untitness
for the Chief Magistracy. Grant let
the cat out of the bag the other day,
however, while Gin his cups and
stated that all his influence in the
Cincinnati Convention will be used
for his early and steadfast patron.
But the President forgets that his in,
Auencc, even with the rapscallions OF
the Republican party, has been stead
lily and rapidly on the wane' ever
since it has been regarded as u fixed
fact that he has not the ghost OF a
chance of being rc-nominated. There
are dozens of men in the Republican
party who will have more personal
influence on the delegates to Clncln'
natl than Y. S. Grant and it is more
than probable that tho Convention,
scared by the earnestncss and evil
dent purpose of the distinguished
leaders of the "Liberals' and Gre
form Republicans" will throw over:
board all the old party hacks, and
take up such a man as G. ": Curtis
or George f. Hoar. The friends OF

We had the pleasure yesterday of
meeting Mr.. P. Seamans, who has re-
turned from the mining district of
Darwin. He reports it as being
very fiourishing camp.
The ST. Charles Hotel in Los Ange-
les, was the scene of merry feast
yesterday, when the good Dominic of
Los Nietos tied with the Hymenial
cords Mr.. Walter Collins and Miss
Sallie Chaplin, of this place. Our re-
porter was on hand to drink long life
and success to the yonng couple.
1t seemed to us like desecration as
We stood yesterday and saw those To-
Gusts cut down which have, ever since
our first recollections of Los Angeles
fourished in front of the st. Charles
Hotel, in that city. One of the trees
was what is called honey locust and
was, We believe, the only one of its
kind in Los Angeles. 1t was planted
by Louis Wolfskill. We understand
that the trunks of the trees will be
made into canes and presented to some
of the old residents.

LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.
A Mastery Inactivity Kke-
commended.

NEW YORK, May 13.--At q meet
ing of the executive committee of
the Liberal Republican State Com
mittee in New York on the 10Th Of
May the following preamble and res
olutions were adopted !:
Whereas, so many of those en-
gagged In the liberal Republican
movements organized at Cincinnati,
in 1872, abandoned it, or have since
become connected with other politi-
cal bodies, that no liberal organiza-
ton Is known to have survived in
any State except In the State of New
York and whereas a call for a ma
tional convention of liberal Republic
cans has been made by a body cOnsti-
tuted apparently in the larger part Of
proxies claiming authority from the
Cincinnati: Therefore,
Resolred, That we fail to recognize
the organized existence of the liberal
republicans, whom, in their national
capacity, that body aim to represent
and direct.
Resolved, That in view of the form
liable influence with which events
have invested the men of indepen-
dent opinions in the politics of the
country, and Of the Importance of
unity of action in their efforts for re-
form, we advise the liberal republic
cans of the State Of New York to
await the action Of the approaching
conventions in Cincinnati and st.
Louis, with the purpose of directing
their support to any Objectionable
Presidential candidate thereby
nominated, or in default thereof,
Of participating with other
nou-partisan and independent cleo
tors in whatever feasible movement
shall seem to promise the delivery Of
our national government and insti-
buttons from the ravage Of corrup-
tion.
