all earnest workers for the republican idea In this
part OF the world, wish 10 see the financial honor OF
the great transatlantic republic fully mantainod.
ANY contrary course would be regarded by them
as a " triumph Of the enemy" as a saA blow TO the
hopes Of an ultimate victory Of the republican prin.
ciple 10 the old world. Imitation il considered here
a FIRST step toward population. How Conservatives

Of anxiety existedin this respect among various Re.
publican groups, whose leaders la their propaRan-
distic labors had often pointed TO your country with
expression Of admiring satisfaction. Doubt or any

A Good Sign.

To reckon without ones host is a
blunder that ordinarily leads to fail
ure, and we can but think that the
Radicals are to produce an exemplifi-
cation of this statement. The leading
journals of that party assert that
there is to be more perfect union in
the organization than has ever existed
before, during the coming campaign.
The signs of the times make very
different showing. If ever a party
was divided it most surely is the Re-
publicans at this hour; and the quar-
rel first opened between the CoNKLING
and the BLAINE factions promises to
be severe. BLAINE is backed by the
New England element, which is both
energetic and persistent. There is a
great deal of the bulldog characterist-
ic in the representatives of that local
ity and their tenacity to a position
once assumed is proverbial. On the
other hand, old SIMON CAMERON,
the veteran wire puller, is in sober
earnest to defeat BLAINE. Hence in
the Convention there will he strug-
gle for the control such as the party
never before has experienced. CAM
ERoN has never been known to fail
when he started out in earnest to ac.
complish an object in his party. and
it is plainly demonstrated that be
does not propose to give up the game
he has already won. He has already
obtained the appointment of his SOL
to a prominent position under the
present Administration, aud has evi.
IDENTIFY gained point for CoNKLTNG
over his opponent. In the Republi-
can party the contest is evidently be-
tween Pennsylvania and New York
for the supremacy. The electoral vote
of either has potency that cannot be
| ignored, and with CAMERON ant
| CoNKLING in accord much can be ac-
complished; but the friends of Mr..
BLAINE are not idle, and every effort
that is made upon the other side will
be fought by combination of polite
al skill that will be hard to overcome
We look for bitter contest between
these two factions and believe the
chances are in favor of BLAINE, while
CAMERON may be regarded as one o
the most expert of political managers
1t is certainty that the New Eng.
land influences will check-mate hi,
movements. This difference of choice
and sentiment in the Radical party
can never be wholly harmonized, anC
we can safely calculate upon such &
discord as will render a Democratic
victory the more certain.

The complimentary testimonial ten
dered to Billy Jonathan takes place
at the race track to-day, and will, we
predict, prove great success in every
sense of the term. The beneficiary is a
worthy gentleman, possessing the es-
TEEN and confidence of both turfmen
and all others with whom he is ac-
quainted. He leaves in few days
for Philadelphia, for the purpose of
exhibiting two of our fast colts
Echora" and "Joe Hamilton" at the
Centennial exhibition. All the car
riages, bugg;es and Lorses In the city
are engaged for the race track to-day
and all who go out will have a good
time. Give Billy rousing benefit.
He deserves it.

Some time ago twenty-five citizens
of Los Angeles applied to the City
Council for the use of the hook and
lader. The request was refused
by the Board of Public Works of that
body. 1t easy to see the use it would
have been last night.if properly man
aged. All of the extinguishers were
out of order or not charged, and the
Babcock was particularly useless.
