party with purpose but ring for seizing
and holding Office. 1t is an admission that
the only thing candidate for the Presi-
dency has to do in the future is to trim on
every question, SO that he trims always in
the direction Of the majority and see that
State conventions are handled. 1t brings
our whole political system, so far as the re-
publicans are concerned, down to the very
lowest level of intrigue and chicanery.
What is more, the country will never sub
NIT to this nomination. This election is
not to be determined by the shouting mobs
in the lobbies of Congress and the barrooms
OF Cincinnati. Mr.. Blaine will 60 into the
canvass on the defensive. His letters will
rise against him in every township. All this
summer shower of enthusiasm will pass
away and then will come those six
months of cold, pitiless scrutiny. Mr..
Blaine cannot explain his record as rail
way jobber by telling the country about
Andersonville and the Duke of Alva and
Ben Hill for, whatever tho country may
think of this foolish gasconading Georgian, 1T
would much rather see an honest rebel in the
White House than gentlemen whose decis-
ions as Speaker were at the bidding oft rail-
way jobber, and whose most conspicuous SER
vice in behalf of the Union, at time when
there were daily chances of serving it in the
the War Department. The canvass will be
walk-oyer for the democrats. The real re-
publicans--th those who have stood by the
party from the beginning, and who still
have a pride in its history and its des-
tiny-will feel that the nomination of Mr..
Grant and the whole war record. Let the
republicans take this responsibility. They
will rush upon the fate that befell the wings
when, in their mad lust for Office, they
abandoned their party, their real leaders,
like Clay and Webster, their principles and
their hold upon the moral sense of their
own followers, by seeking out successful
military chieftain and endeavoring to crawl
into power. The end was defeat which is
monumental in our history. 1t might have
been a victory if the wise men of that day
had been needed. The soul had gone out
of whiggery, and its death was newt
able The nomination Of Blaine will
mean the same with the republican party
Nor is this contingency we regret. The
republican party should die Its work is
done. The soul has gone out of it. A gen.
Grafton of power has deadened its once noble
aspirations. 1t is q party without princi-
pies, without aims without even decent
consideration for its true statesmen
''Whom the gods would destroy they first
make mad" and the nomination of Mr..
Blaine will be the madness which precedes
destruction.

Govsr.or Morgan's Opening Address.

governor Aorgan's Opening Address.
1t has fallen to Governor Morgan to open
four of the six Republican National Conven-
tions that have assembled since the exist
ence of the party. His speeches on such
occasions are more remarkable for wise,
practical suggestions than for what is called
eloquence, his talents being rather solid
than SNOWY. The ornate passage yesterday
about the mariner tossed in thick weather
is repeated almost verbatim from Webster,
and might wisely have been omitted, as not
in keeping with the plain texture of his
own language. But the advice he gave to
the Convention is excellent, as his advice
on such occasions is very apt to be. He
recalled, with pardonable pride, an instance
which occurred in his opening remarks in
the Convention of 1864, when he suggested
an amendment to the constitution abolish
ing slavery in the United States. The sug-
gestion was adopted by the Convention, en-
bodied in its platform, taken up by Congress
and submitted to the States for ratification
at the next session. One ofthe recommends
tions made by Governor Morgan yesterday
deserves equally prompt acceptance by the
republican party We refer to his advice to
propose in the platform of this Convention
an amendment Of the constitution limiting
the President to one term and extending it to
six years. This is both recognition of the
great danger which the country has recently
escaped and the proposal of an adequate
remedy. 1t was by the mere accident Of the
exposure of Babcock and Belknap that
President Grant was prevented from
taking third nomination for himself
A second term is Objectionable as
we'll as o third, because when Pres
ident hopes to be reelected he spends
his first term in scheming for second, in
stead of devoting himself solely to the pub
lie interests. We should be glad to see both
parties committed in their platform to a
one-term amendment, for in that case wc
might hope to see it adopted at an early
day. Another excellent recommendation of
Governor Morgan is that relating to the cur
rency. He thinks property has already set
tied to specie values, and that no additional
shrinkage or distress would result from put
ting the currency on metallic basis, while
the feeling of stability would set all the
wheels of industry again in motion.

The test by which the twelve good men
have been selected who are to represent
America in the Centennial contest has been
a most severe one, each man who won place
having to fire 800 shots. This made it emf.
nently test of endurance as well as skill
for weapons as well as men. The result has
been eninently satisfactory, and the scores
of the twelve marksmen testify to the highest
qualities that make the successful rifeman.
The gentlemen who have found them.

high honor of representing America in the

There is petty business done in New York

which is pure brigandage. An agent haunts

chimes are sold to the poor creatures is gen.
orally fifty per cent above cash price, and at
profit of two hundred per cent Let poor

was brought into police court yesterday.
The woman had paid within ten dollars Of
the full price for her machine; it was taken
from her. Maddened BY refusal to return
either money or machine, she sought ''the
wild justice of revenge" with paving stone,
which she crashed through five hundred dol

The TURKISH DIFFICULTY, as we have had
occasion to remark lately, is just now con-
fined to Turkey and its dependencies. The
Porte has adopted conciliatory policy with
Servia, which may serve it better than any
other, for there was evidently nothing to b
gained by threatening or bullying the prin-
cipality. The insurgent chiefs have, how.
ever, rejected the armistice offered by
Turkey, they having evidently no greater
trust in one Turk than another, butter he
his speech never so thickly. It remains to
be seen what sincerity there is in Servia's
pacific professions, and whether she will aid
Austria and Turkey in the endeavor to iso-
late the fighting rayahs of Herzegovina Az
the assistance given both by Servia and
Montenegro to the instruction has been
more or less undetermined from the start il
seems very likely that it will continue.
Thus will the little dangerous spark be kept
burning.
