"UP GUARDS AND AT THEM

We select the words of the Iron Duke to
his picked men as the motto for this cam
paign. The platform has been made and
the candidates selected. The grand prin-
ciples of Republicanism have been again
enunciated by the chosen delegates of the
party; these principles are undying;
through them the country has been puri-
fed of the dark blot of slavery, and the
Declaration of Independence made liv-
ing reality; through them the country, af'
ter baptism of blood more terrible than
has ever been known, is reunited, pros
porous and steadily improving, and only
through them and with its Government
administered by men thoroughly Imbued
with them can it continue to improve;
such men have been chosen, for Ruther-
ford B. Hayes and William A. Wheeler
are representative Republicans of the best
class. The platform speaks for itself. 1t
declares in the first and second resolutions
that this is nation, and its authority as
such must be respected. The third
resolution declares that the results of
the war must be maintained. Honest
money, civil service reform, unsectarian
schools, = sufficient revenue collected upon
correct principles of political economy,
homes for the homeless, equal protection
to native and foreign born citizens at home
and abroad, no peonage and no polygsmy
are all distinctly enunciated. Besides
these principles affirmed, the platform
gives due honor to all the soldiers and
sailors who fought for their country, and
offers the hand of fellowship to all who
fought against it, but abide by the result of
the struggle. 1t returns to President Grant
the thanks for his services to the nation
that are his just dues, and arraigns the
Democratic party for being unworthy,
recreant and incapable
The platform is right in every particular.
The old Republicans who assisted in found
ing the Republican party can see that
it has not departed from the faith of the
fathers. 1t answers every call for reform,
and the candidates are worthy of the plat
form. Then let the watchword of the
campaign, so auspiciously begun at Gin
cinnati, be "Up guards and at them" and
let every true Republican of the ''old
guard" once more don his srmor and re-
spond to the cry. Victory will be assured.
National Republican., 1876-06-17

Now THAT our family preferences are
determined, and the recognized leaders of
the party for the next campaign are chosen,
it may not be amiss to congratulate our
selves as party upon the elements of true
greatness exhibited by those distinguished
Republicans who have been put forward by
their owntStates and their friends in other
States as candidates worthy the suffrages of
the people for the highest positions in the
nations gift. Allthose preferred had warm,
ardent, earnest friends who adhered to
them upflinchingly until their names were
Withdrawn or the contest ended. Maine
and Illinois voted steadily for Blaine, New
York adhered unswervingly to Conkling,
Pennsylvania to Hartranft, Ohio to Hayes,
Indiana to Morton, and Kentucky to Bris-
tow. But when it was seen that the ques-
ton must be narrowed down TO two, Conk-
ling, Morton, Hartranft and Bristow, with
a self. .abnegation and true patriotism, which
reflects the highest honor upon them, all
gracefully withdrew in favor of the man
who had been steadily advancing in
strength from the first ballot, and to whom
we were bound to look for our great
gun" of victory in October. None but
men truly great are capable of thus tossing
from them the temptations incident to
power. These gentlemen can console
themselves with the fact that the old adage
which became so common in the days of
Clay, Calhoun and Webster also applies
equally to them, they are too big to be
President"
National Republican., 1876-06-17
poINes OF THE CONVENTION.

The results of the labors of the Cincin-
natl convention are placed before our read
ers in other columns. While they are
surprise to some and a keen disappointment
to others, 1t must be admitted, on the whole,
after due reflection, that they are the sum
of the collective wisdom of the Republican
party of the nation. We take it from a care
full analysis of the vote that the, principle
which determined the selections was solely
one of assurance of final success. 1t was
deemed necessary to carry Ohio at her
State election in October. The prestige of
victory obtained there would be of incal-
culable benefit to the party in all the No
vember elections. Governor Hayes, as
the first choice of Ohio and as the leader of
her forces last year, when victory so
proudly perched upon their banners, was
naturally suggested as the most popular
and desirable leader for the present cam
paign In that State. Almost the only ques-
tion from the first in the convention regard
ing him has been simply whether he should
have the first or the second place on the
ticket
New York being numerically stronger
and in that view more important, as well
as more doubtful, naturally claimed to
have a right to exercise large influence
in the selection of the man who should
lead her forces to victory. She presented
Senator COnkling ss her "favorite son"
and strongest man for the first place on
the ticket. 1t was the opinion of most of
the managers that it was of the first i'm
.portance to name such men as would take
both New York and Ohio from the list of
doubtful States and place them in the
category of sure Republican States. 1t is
well known tina. our own judgment was
that the names of Conkling and Hayes
would have the magic power to accomplish
this result. The wisdom of the conven-
tion has decreed otherwise, and we &C
quiesce N the. decision. While it has
evidently been guided by our theory, it
has given Ohio the first and New York the
second place on the ticket, and 1t has
given US the name of Hon. William A.
Wheeler, instead of Roscoe Conkling.
Perhaps the convention has selected the
strongest man. We are bound to believe
30 at all events.
A further analysis Of the votes shows the
true reason Of Mr.. Blaine's defeat. 1t does
not consist in any lack of confidence in
him by the Republican party. 1t will be
seen that nearly one half his strength (13O
at lessD were cast by delegates from the
Southern States and from the several Ter
ritories that could not promise him q
single electoral vote in the COLLEGE.
He received no support from those doubt
full States IN which The contest is to be
chiefly waged to the bitter end. Could he
have drawn TO his support those States,
his nomination would have been assured.

ROCK EEON SPRINGS.

No doubt every one who can will visit the
Centennial this year, and some may spend all
the spare means they have there; yet we feel
assured there are very many Of our citizens
who must have a change Of air and real rest
during the heated term, and there is no place
they can obtain this easily, so fully, and at
such moderate expense as at Rock Enon
Springs. The proprietor, Mr.. A. s. Pratt, is
determined to make this lovely spot in the
mountains of Virginia, popular for the hosts
of people who want pure air, strengthening
and healing waters, the best of food in abund-
ance, amusement and recreation, and entire
freedom from fashionable restraint AMI dis
sipation. The charge of board, as may be seen
by reference to another column, is most mod
crate, less than it costs many who will go
there to live at home, while the expense Of 60
ing and returning is not much more than is
paid for an afternoon carriage ride in our city.
We advise those of our citizens who contem-
plate sojourn in the mountains this summer
to make early application for rooms. Many
have been already engaged, and we know Mr..
Pratt will not permit his house to be in any
way crowded to the discomfort of his guests.
National Republican., 1876-06-17

But the delegates from those States could
not be made to see that the name Of Mr..
Blaine would inspire the Republicans with
the prestige of victory, and they objected
to being obliged to fight . desperate battle
under leaders of others choosing.
But the friends of Mr.. Blaine made
gallant contest for the "Great Commoner"
of our day. They adhered to him with
steadfastness and pertinacity which indi-
Gates their qualities as good soldiers, and
they havethe qualification Of knowing they
were only beaten by the withdrawal Of all
but one of his rivals, and concentration
of their vote upon that one. We have no
doubt that upon due consideration they will
come to see that the nomination of their
favorite at this time would have been i'm
polite and weak. The noble conduct Of
Mr.. Blaine, and the elevated sentiments of
his dispatch to Gov. Hayes, congratulatlng
him on his success and promising him a
hearty and generous support, are worthy of
emulation by all ofus who have been dis
appointed. On the whole, it must be
agreed the action of the convention has
been wise and judicious, and we hail its
good temper, good platform and final una
nimity as harbiugers of victory.
National Republican., 1876-06-17

IT APPEARS that the last sixty one votes
which determined the contest in favor of
Hayes upon the seventh ballot were cast by
the New York. delegation at the request of
their own candidate, Senator Conkling
When the delegation was called in regular
course it made a request to have leave to
retire for consultation, and during that
consultation communicated with the dis
tinguished Senator.

Mr.. Blaine's congratulatory dispatch to
Hayes is just like the man. In his defeat he
shows the same generous, manly spirit he has
evinced in his victories.
Mr.. Daniel Voorhees, says that If the Dem

Although the friends of Mr. Blaine lose by
his defeat the Republican party gain by keep

THE WEEKLY NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is
now ready for delivery, containing the general
news of the week, including the proceedings
of the Republican National Convention at
Cincinnati. 1t is cheap and large campaign
paper.
voorhees,, the silver-tongued orator of the
great West, says that if the Democracy nomi-
mates the canal reformer of New York he
will bolt the ticket with thousands of other
Western men and take the stump for the
Republican party.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock Mr..
Blaine drove past the telegraph offices, cor
nsr of Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, where he was warmly greeted by the
assembled multitude, who had gone thither
to hear the latest news. Later in the after
noon Mr.. Blaine returned and was again
greeted by vociferous applause. There is no
mistaking the fact that Mr.. Blaine had the
popular sympathy of the citizens of Washing
ton, as was evinced on the occasions sbove re-
ferred to, when with flushed cheeks and waving
hats three cheers and a tiger were given to
the demolisher of rebels. Mr.. Blaine is GER
tainly mighty in his defeat.
The VoKs Trib,n of January %, 1876, after
discussing the merits of the various candidates
for Presidential honors at Cincinnati, closes
with the following: "This is the list Of the
aspirants for the Presidency, from which,
however, one man has been omitted, to whom
! the palm of victory, in our opinion, will fall.
While the aboye-named prominent candidates
will labor in vain in the arena of the national

gradually accumulate votes until he has
majority. This man is the Union general, R.
