st. Louis and Cincinnati.

The reports from St. Louis of the dis
orderly conduct Of the representatives of
the democracy there engaged in nominal
ing candidates for President and Vice
President are what might be expected OF
such a crowd. The city will be glad
when it gets rid of them. Drinking,
fighting, swearing. bullying, what sight
do they present to the American people.
And these are the men who say that the
great need of the hour is reform in poll,
ties, and the way to accomplish it is to
give the government over into theil
hands.
We doubt il national convention oil
any party was ever assembled in this
country that so largely represented the
baser and worst elements of our popula
lion as this at St. Louis. The roughs o
New York. the Ku-Klux Of the South, lee
by Tammany and ex-Coniederates. are
the ruling spirits. When they have nom
mated their candidate and placed hin
upon the strongest kind of a reform
platform, it will be time to inquire wha
the voters think about it and whethe
they will regard the professions and plat
forms Of such crowd as worthy Of any
attention.
The national conventions of the tw,
parties this year aptly represent the tw
parties themselves, in their moral spiri
and purpose. At Cincinnati although

and the people OF the city.

FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM A. WHEELER,
OF NEW YORK.
FOR GOVERNOR,
SELDEN CONNoR
Gov. HAYES.

A correspondent of the Worcester Spy
has called upon Governor Hayes at his
home at Columbus. Ohio, since his nomi-
nation to the presidency, and reports the
following as of interest to New England
readers: The ancestors of Mr.. Hayes, of
the Hayes branch, came to Dorchester
from England before 1880, but followed
Mr.. Hooker to Hartford in the movement
to Connecticut in 1855. Later, his branch
moved up the river to Hadley. and his
father went to marlborough, where he
married Sophia Birchard, of Scotch an
cestry, whose family in early days were
residents of Norwich, Connecticut. Soon
after the Governors father was married
he removed to Delaware county, Ohio,
aud there Rutherford Birchard Hayes was
born. He fitted for college at Middle
town, Conn and graduated at Kenyon
College, Ohio. In lS45 and '46 he was at
the Harvard law school, and afterwards
practised law at Fremont, near Sandusky.
He removed to Cincinnati in few years.
His wife is a daughter Of DIR. James Webb
of Chillicothe. She is described as "a
"dark-eyed woman, modest and beautiful
''in all the womanly and wifely virtues.
"refned and in the truest sense lady"
Governor Hayes inherited his fortune of
quarter of million from an uncle in FIRE.
mont, and he still holds a fine house and
grounds there, which is the real home of
the family. The idea that he is lacking
in force and independence of will
is asserted TO be unjust to him
and he has said never to have failed in
any great emergency. The following ex-
tract from speech by George Walker.
who has also conversed with him since
his nomination, renews the assurance that
on one. important poirt he is not lacking in
force; ''In a recent conversation with
''him said that hoped the language
""f the republican platform would
"not be construed by him as ad-
uniting in any way of a postponement of
"the time fixed for resumption. to which
che replied as follows "'I will never con-
"sent to any change in the resumption act
"'unless am convinced that that change
twill lead to a speedier resumption of
"'specie payment than that now contem-
"'plated."

RUNNING THE WHOLE MACHINE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I notice that the Balti-
more american has. at the eleventh hour,
mounted the Blaine horse, and, like the
illustrlous Swami, proposes to ride the new
mount 10Th 'ohip and spur No person
who knows anything OF Maryland Repub-
ican politics has supposed for several
months past that there were more than
dozen Republicans in the State who did
not regard Mr.. Blaine as the most accepta-
bic candidate for President in 1876; of this
dozen, the Office of TIE american furnished
two or three. Brktow was the Fultons
man until the developments of the past
fortnight. and now it takes up Blaine with
a furious flourish of trumpets. We are
very glad of this; very glad to have the
americans valuable aid; very glad to see
it has not one of its old time fits of sulks,
and is not putting itself i'll a corner to eat
its own pie all alone. But really, when the
american undertakes, not only TO claim the
ownership of Mr.. Blaine, but to run the
whole politics of the State, even to the cut
ting out of the delegates to the Conven-
ton, l, for one. respectfully demur. The
dmertcdn's men are some of them good
men, and perhaps will be the delegates
selected, but we respectfully submit that it
is drawing the thing rather tiue to fore
stall the action of Maryland Republicans
in this bold, dictatorial manner. Republi-
cans in Maryland can take care of them
selves. They are not under the DONNA
ton of present Custom House clques or
past Custom House cliques. The Fultons
are entitled to their say. like other folks,
but their effort To manage the whole party
and gag independent Republican sentiment,
lis an insult which they should be made TO
feel. REPUBLICAN.

Genera! BelKnap's Disgrace.

The SORROW that will be felt by all true
men when they read the story of the dis
grace of Secretary Belknap, will be greater
than it would have been had they read of
his death by some sudden and terrible
calamity. His fate is worse than death
Cast down from a position of conspicuous
public honor into the depths of shame and
humiliation, made yet more bitter by the
proach upon the President and people who
trusted and honored him.
There is but one consoling feature in the
case. and that is that it yet remains to be
demonstrated how far General Belknap is
personally guilty of the dishonorabe acts
which now overwhelm his name with dis
grace. He assumes the whole responsible
ity of the transaction through which a
large sum of money was paid to his wife
for the appointment of man to the trader
ship Of military post; but may it not be
the self immolation of the man and the
husband under a chivalric but misguided
impulse to save the woman and wife. The
future will tell the whole truth, whether he
had guilty knowledge of the corrupt bar
gain, or whether his wife deceived him and
kept the knowledge of the compact to her
self. Either way is bad enough. The first
intimation the President had of the matter
was from the lips of the Secretary himself
at the moment of rendering his resignation
He of course feels keeny this abuse of
confidence by one implicitly trusted not
only by himself, but the entire people.

THE NEW REGISTRY LAW.

1t is a problem whether Mr.. McClnre's
Committee will accomplish the purpose for
which it was appointed, since the indica-
tions are by no means certain that the
majority at Annapolis intend to adopt the
new Registry law submitted to the Legis-
lature. True. the counties of the State are
not particularly interested in the matter,
since no important changes in the law are
proposed so far as it applies to them. but
still the city Of Baltimore might derive
strictly carried out and honestly enforced.
While the new bill takes away the appoint
ment Of Registers from the Governor and
invests it in a " Board of Election Super
ment over the present system, if the Board
is to be composed of political partisans,
who, like the present Board of Police
Commissioners, prostitute their offices to
the basest party nses.
The bill also provides for Police Gen.
sus of the legal voters of the city, to be
taken every two years, one month before
the election of members of the Legislature.
The purpose of this provision is to secure
the Registers against fraud, as the absence
of name from the census list would be
prima facia evidence that the party apply
ing for registration was not legal voter
The provision, however, can likewise be of
no practical benefit, unless the political
honesty of the Registers and Police Board
afford some guarantee of its strict enforce
ment. BY an accompanying bill, the ap-
pointment-o Of judges and clerks Of election
is also vested in BOARD of Election
Supervisors.
The whole system, as proposed, accom-
plishes no practical benefit, unless its adj
ministration be entrusted to honest men.
The system itself, however admirable, I'M
less it be honestly enforced, becomes the
same instrument of fraud and oppression
as is the present one. 1t is promise Of
reform merely, with no guarantee for it's
realization, so long as Baltimore is con-
trolled by its present defiant political mas

THE UNHAPPY INFLATIONISTS.
Three times, on three different Mondays

Three times, on three different Mondays,
have persistent infiationists been defeated
in their attempts to obtain a vote of the
House upon resolutions providing for an
unconditional repeal of the Resumption
act. Three times have the shrewd tactics
of the Speaker, deferred the dreaded vote.
Mr.. Atkins. Of Tennessee, hard headed
Democratic, soft money man. was the last
victim taken off his feet. He was cut down
in the proud moment of expected triumph,
by the memorable vote to adjourn, put ST.
inopportunely by Mr.. Morrison, the Chair
man of the Committee on Ways and Means.
But why defer the evil day; or endeavor
longer to disguise the fact so apparent, that
a majority of the Democratic leaders are
opposed to the resumption of specie pay
ments?
