ticularly those Of Engrossing Clerks. =
The Republicans nominated coiored men
for each position The Democrats nom.
mated WHITE UNION SOLDIERS. each OF
whom had left asinb on the battle field
They were Of good morals, honest and
capable, and Republicans ,sa ss5 e
When these nominations were made.
the Republicans we're fully aroused and
made an exhibition of their worst pas
sions, particularly that of anger and want
OF proper decorurn, and flor argument
used slang and epithets; but they we're
forced to make choice between colored
man. who never s.smelled gunpowder," /"
and a white, crippled, Union soldier Of
their own political faith. l
The whole Republican strength was
cast in favor of the colored men, and
they we're elected land the soldiers we're
made to understand, emphatically, that
the Negro is the first choice Of major
itv of this General Assembly.
The House has repealed the Geghan
law--did it under the "gag," by demand

The partial appropriation bill has

except the appropriation to pay newspa-

by strictly party vote. The Centennial
appropriation was attached, and the
Democrats we're compelled to vote for
it or vote against the entire appropria-

one, whs viii be bstter deserving trust,
than Blaine proved himselftc b..
There are plenty in the menagerie to
choose from, but it is doubtful if one can
be found, that the masses Of the party will
unite upon rs they had upon Blaine. He
had been before the country prominently
as leader in the Republican politics Of
his State fer years, and owing to the con-
spicuous part he took in political discuss
ions, and that extreme popularity with the
Republican members of the House, which
made him speaker, he gained National
reputation, which gave him an advertise
ment that rendered decided advantage
over all other candidates for nomination
at Cincinnati. There is not another among
them all that enjoys advantages approach
ing such as these. The next. best man ior
the party to unite upon is Bristow. 1t is
true that he has but recently occupied any
prominence in Republican politics. Be-
fore his appointment to cabinet position,
he was not known outside Of his own State,
and if he is chosen by the party at Cincin-
natl, he will bs the candidate Of circum-
stances. But precedent for this is found
in the case of Grant, whose nomination was
secured by his successes in the civil war,
and the desire Of the party, to which he
had attached himself, in its gratitude, to
give token of their appreciation for his

has futtered before the country rs the chief
actor in successful war upon the whisky
frauds, and his selection would be no more
a matter Of sudden and emergent circum

In touching upon this matter, We do not
pretend to say, that such selection would
insure triumph to the Republican party,
in the presidential election, for we firmly
believe that the country has tired Of Re-

ranks Of the present power has heapsd up
on the nations honor and itspeoples. But
We state that if the Republican party wishes
to renew that confidence which it has lost
in Its own camp, among leadersby the un.
raveled clouds of suspicion which over.

the whole list is Bristow.
