The position of Pennsylvania and Ohio in
the Convention at Cincinnati is worthy Of
note. Ohio came into the Convention with
stone wall. There was no surrender, no
concession, no second choice. Every bar
gain was thrown aside. It was the first place
or nothing. When each ballot was called
Ohio's "forty-four for Hayes" rang out like
broadside from line-of-battle ship, and
in seven broadsides every flag was lowered
but the flag of Ohio
Well, Pennsylvania came into the Con-
vention with ffty-eight votes and crowd Of
water department, gas works, State House
row heelers, in white hats. She, too, had q
candidate soldier, like Hayes, but with a
better record--a Governor, like Hayes, and
as popular in Pennsylvania as Hayes is
in Ohio. There was just as much reason for
the nomination Of Hartranft as for that of
Hayes. But Pennsylvania, as soon as she
arrived, began to dicker and quarrel. Hart
ranft was thrown aside. The Ring poll
ticians of Philadelphia under General Bing-
ham did not want to give him more than
one ballot. On the third ballot there was
secession, wrangle in the open Convention.
Pennsylvania chairman was partisan Of
Blaine The result of this quarrel was that
Pennsylvania had no voice in the Conven-
ton. But for the frmness of few friends
Of Governor Hartranft he would have been
dropped on the second ballot.
The reason why Ohio gained SO much and
why Pennsylvania lost everything, even the
respect of the other States, was because Ohio
was true to the State and the candidate.
If Ohio had her heartburnings they did not
appear to the Convention. There was no
washing Of dirty linen. A faction in Penn
sylvania slaughtered the distinguished Gov
ernor of that State to crafty political feud
with the Secretary of War. The "humilia-
ton Of Don Cameron" was higher purpose
than the nomination of Hartrnnft, the
honor of the State, even the nomination of
Blaine. As it was, Hartranft was beaten,
Blaine was beaten, the State was shorn of
her influence, and Don Cameron was victor.
We might say something of New York also,
but the theme is not worth pursuing. But
when these two great States-PennsyHani
and New York-again enter political con-
vention let them think of proud, patient,
decorous, self-respecting Ohio, and by follow
ing her high example they may win their
share Of her high gains.

In THE IsTKnEsrs OF RAPID TnASsrT evil

equine nervousness should not be regarded
as sufficient ground for defeating the
attainment Of great public object like
rapid transit. According to one witness the
indifference to steam locomotives displayed
by sober minded horses in Greenwich street
was perfectly astonishing In other parts Of
the city where the dummies rattle along over
the elevated railroad track the horses view the
passing trains with a smile Of undisguised
contempt on their countenances. In the
face of this evidence we cannot see why the

The IRISH RIFLEMEN have now got through
the first step in the selection of their team
for the Centennial match. The ten highest
of those competing at Dundalk will meet on
the 2Sth and Goth inst at range in
Wicklow, where certain other designated
shots will compete. with them for the honor
of representing Ireland in America next
September. BY this means very strong
team will be finally selected. The ten
scores represent 3, 500 out of $500, or per-
centage of 1877, while the first eight, or
shooting force, of the team have 1905 out
of 5000 points, or q percentage of 8O.694
Both these percentages are somewhat behind
those of our own team, but, taking into con-
sideration the fact that the weather here
during the competitions was almost perfect
and that such was not the case in Ireland, it
will be seen that our boys must work very
hard indeed to win. The men to be nomi-
mated will, doubtless, add to the force of the
Irish team, Mr.. John Rigby being host in
himself.

The Now Secretary Or tn. Treasury.


Lot M. Morrill,, OF Maine, has been ap-
pointed as Secretary of the Treasury in
place of Benjamin II. Bristow. Upon one
point we presume there will not be two opin-
ions--the excellence of President Grants
selection. Although Mr.. Morrills term in the
Senate will expire simultaneously with his
retirement from the Cabinet, yet it required
some self-sacrifice in the Senator to accept q
place under the administration in its last
days, especially as his chances OF reelection
are thereby impaired. His refusal Of the
War Office upon Belknap's downfall shows
that he was not seeking place in the coun-
ellis of General Grant, and gives to his accept
ance of the Treasury Secretaryship at this
late day an appearance of yielding to the
stern demands Of public duty. AS chairman
Of the Senate Committee on Appropriations
Mr.. Morrill, must have acquired that thor
ough knowledge of the department he is
about to control which will enable him to
assume the place not entirely as a new and
inexperienced incumbent, and in no respect
is the country likely to regret Mr.. Bristow's
retirement Frequent changes in the
Treasury are not desirable; and it must be
confessed that General Grant has seen more
secretaries in this department than is credit
able to his administration; but it is not
likely that Secretary Morrill, will have sue
cessor until Grant also is succeeded by
another Executive; and the change in the
present instance, to say the least OF it, is one
which can do no harm.

COMING DowN.-General Eckert, the Presi-
dent of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company, announces that there will be a
reduction in rates during the sessions Of the
Democratic Convention at st. Louis. This
shows wisdom, proper appreciation of the
uses Of the telegraph and fine business sense.
General Eckert's business capacity comes
more and more into relief every day in his
management of the opposition lines Why
should not Mr.. Orion, the President of the
Western Union, follow this example, or,
what would be much better, give new one
by coming down to lower figure than his
rival2 Mr.. Orion, in addition to his high
qualities as the manager of this vast Western
Union, is an eloquent and efficient leader in
politics. He knows, therefore, how popular
such q movement would be among the
people Competition is the life of trade.
and we have no doubt that an honorable
competition between these two telegraph
lines would give new life to the telegraph
business and in time strengthen the re-
sources and the revenues Of both companies.

Tho President ana sAe Convention

Tho President and tho Convention.
The friends of Mr.. Blaine now say that he
was compelled to fight the power Of the
administration. This is utter can't The
administration, SO far as the President is
Concerned, showed great delicacy about this
Convention. 1t allowed Bristow to run as a
reformer on platform certifying that Grants
administration was corrupt, and that he,
Bristow, prominent member of it, was the
one man to purify the government. Grant
even submitted to an indignity in this,
which Old Hickory would have re-
sented without delaying longer than
was necessary to pull on his boots.
Jewell was a candidate, and oil the
postmasters were in his interest. Judge
Taft supported Hayes, as was his duty,
coming from Ohio. Chandler and Robson
were openly for Blaine. Fish was for Blaine
after himself The only member of the
Cabinet who cared for Conkling was
Cameron, and he voted for Hartranft.
So far as the President is concerned he
said nothing. 1t was supposed that he
preferred Conkling, and no doubt he did,
for the natural reason that he knew Conk-
ling to be head and shoulders over every
other candidate and naturally preferred the
strongest man to succeed him. But Mr..
Morton has gone on the record to the effect
that he is satisfied with the Presidents i'm
partiSlity. We have yet to hear of single
Blaine man who has been even reproved by
the administration. The President behaved
we'll in the whole business. The complaints
of the Blaine men are only part of that sys-
tenn of fraud and false pretence which de-
stroyed the canvass of the member from
Maine.

The WEATHER CHANGE predicted in last

about to be verified, and an area of low
barometer, which manifested itself at an
early hour on yesterday morning, is APP
preaching from the west, being now central
over the territory lying between the Ms
souri, and Mississippi rivers. This area Of
low pressure was observable on the Pacific
coast toward the end of last week, and we
duly announced its advent. The eastward
movement Of the centre of disturbance will
be marked by the prevalence of southerly
winds, which will gradually veer to the
westward as the low barometer approaches
the meridian of New York. Beyond feeling
the influence of its passage in the shape Of
increased cloudiness, comparatively low
temperature and local rains, any violent
changes of weather are, from present indi-
cations, improbable in Southern New York
and the New England States.

that Powers like England, France and Hol-

1t seems to have been conceded-perhaps
too hastily conceded-that this eminent and
able democratic statesman is an impossible
candidate for the Presidency since the fail
ure of his own State to indorse him. But
the supporters Of Allen outvoted the friends
of Thurman in the Ohio Convention by only
a slender majority, and the certainty that
the vote for Allen will be merely compli-
mentary raises question as to where tho
Ohio delegation will 60 when Allen is aban-
doned. If the other opponents of Tilden
should unite upon Thurman and the vote
of Ohio would turn the scale there can be
no doubt that it would be given to Thurman
rather than to Tilden. It is said that
the name Of Thurman will be presented
to the Convention by Virginia. With this
start on the first ballot he may gain strength
aftcrward, if Tilien should be so formidable
that no other candidate would seem to have
any chance against him. There can be no
reasonable question that if the candidate ID
taken from the West Thurman would be
altogether the strongest man. The nomina-
ton of Hendricks would be fatal he could
not carry a single Eastern State, and, least
of all, New York, without which the election
of a democratic President is impossible.
Thurman is statesman of solid abilities
and unassailable integrity, and his superior
experience in national affairs would make
him an ADLER President than Tilden. His
chances for carrying New York would be
very hopeful indeed, with o good Eastern
man on the ticket for the Vice Presidency.
Thurman and Parker would be a popular
ticket Thurman and English would not be
quite SO strong. But it would be better to take
the second name from New York rather than
from New Jersey or Connecticut, and there
are democrats in this State who would add
greatly to the strength and popularity of
ticket headed by Thurman. If the second
candidate were taken from Western New
York Thurman and Church would make
ticket which would arouse all the enthusi.
asm of the New York democracy. If the
nomination were given to the eastern part
Of the State Thurman and Potter would be
popular and probably . winning ticket.
Either Church or Potter would bring more
strength to the democratic side than Wheeler
can possibly bring to the republican side.
