EEThcrc are many reasons why BRIs-

the whole country, than the nomination
of BLAINE, MoRrosor CoNKLlsG Bars
rows nomination would greatly aidin
making reform The leading issue of the
campaign; for BRIsTow is reforiner, or
he is a nobody.
The very prominence Of this issue, and
the diffusion of information resulting
from a discussion of il, would have q
wholesome, purifying effect il every de-
partment Of the government, and to some
extentupon business circles generally.
BLAINE, CoNKLINd and MoRroN have
each given unmistakable evidence th&
they prefer a campaign based np>n the
hackneyed war issues aid '"Smthern
outrages." tits unhappily true that such
campaign is calculated to produce the
very outraees itaffects to deplore. Its
frs: effect ~oud be to provoke hot blood
between the whites and blacks, and the
demand for s'outrages" would soon be
abundantly supplied. Nor would it mat
ter much to the Republican candidate
which party might be in the wrong This
point could be keptin dispute until after
the election, and in the meantime it would
afford pretext for overrunnine the
South with Federal bayonels, which
.anld stand the candidate SO well instead
OF ballots. l.''''f e aNis d eqi
With BRlsTow as the. Republican can
didate, and THURMAN, TIrDEN, BAYARD
or HENDRICKS as the Democratic capdi,
date, all the arts Of oil the demagognes
could not prevent Reform from being the
pivotal point in The campaign. Then,
whoever might be elected President, we
should all breathe in apurer government

HIf the bringing forward Of ALLEN
as Presidential candidate was not a
bit Of strategy savoring Of intrigue-if
it was an open, honest transaction, be-
ing just what it pretended to berif it
was engineered by men whose reputa-
tions would forbid the suspicion that
they might use craft or discrimination
then others are mistaken as much as
ourselves. The New York Sun express.
es clearly and correctly the opinion OF
thousands when it says:
The real object in putting Mr.. Allen
up in Ohio, is to pull Mr.. Thurman
down. That he should consent to be
the instrument of defeating bis distin-
guished relative is not creditable to his
reputation, especially as it can by no
chance result in advantage to himself
The men who use him for this purpose
have no thought or expectation that be
will attract the least support outside OF
Ohio. II the delegation I'd st Eouis
can be divided, and thus prevent any
positive expression for Thurman, the
wire-pullers hope in that event to util.
ixs the vote OF the State in their own
interest, and to send Allensback to the
peaceful shades of his rural home, to
philosophize over the in4ratitude of re.
publics, and the disappointment Of ex
perienced ambition. II s,s 4 sls5,s

3 When those imputations were f|rst set
afoot the public mind was excited by the
then recent revelations Of the miscon

publican par,isans we're eager TO catch at
anything which might be used TO break
The force Of these staggering revelations
as against their own party. by bringing
leading men Of the opposition also into
suspicion and discredit. The public in
general, demoralized by the disgrace OF
q high Cabinet officer, were ready to en-.
tertain charges efsany kind against any
bosly. which would have been contempt
uously scouted at another time. Mr.
Pendleton was the easy victim for time
of these unfavorabie circumstances, the
case against him being aggravated in ap
pearance BY his own frank ayowal that
he had personally received very large
share of the award finally madein favor
of the railway Of which, when the claim
was pressed by him, he had been himself
the President. As to this part Of the
story, he was some time ago completely
cleared Of blame by the testimony OF
