There is great deal Of noise and -at-

tUrei the Convention ami nominated
Horace Greeley The Bohemians were
close corporation Of seh-inttated ego
fists like that literary co1colnb, Reid
Horace White organized them. They
voted among themselves that Journalism
should run the country and that them
selves were the journalists who made
journalism. So they nominated poor
Greeley as their candidate Tor the Presl-
dency The Democracy (whosa agreed
policy was TO do nothing BIZ, Try and
create dissensions between Republcans}
fell in with the scheme and gave 1t a
halt-hearted assent. Bat the coming
Cincinnati Convention viii not be OF
that sort. II Will be controlled by any
thing but gush and sentimentalisn.
The conceited weaklings like Sam Bowles
and Reid are for Blaine. He is one Of
their class. At any rate, he has bowed
TO their impudent assumptions. and
if he IS nominated and elected they
will strut with satisfaction and talk
of having named the President But
he will not be nominated. He Is
a quarter horse. A four miller Of
some degree will carry Of the prize. He
is too anxious and too SNOWY. Compare
him with Grant When did Grant ever
seek the Presidency Or, If you please,
who ever caught him in the act Of seek
ing fo- it? When Blaine, las. year, a.
speaker, SO manipulated lis Office as to
throw the Force Bill and Civil Rights
Bill into the hands Of the HI hlu1, be
was bidding for the support Of the rebels
and 1.-THE Independent press. He fell
down and weakened before the cry OF
.'bloody shirt Hethousht to contrast
himself favorably with Butler. who is a
great man with logical mind and who
despises all small .rimmers like Blaine.
Now that he finds the country cOntrontel
with a rebel House of Representatives,,
he seeks to retrieve himself with the
Radicals by bawlins JEFF. Davis and An
1-,rro ~ ll1- n nanny whistle
His feeble pipe cannot deceive the hard
heads. When the convention meets, the
wise, wary and far-seelns politicians
whose clans are assembling now, Will
get their heads together and they VIII
look at the situation. They will look
calmly over the field. Iney Will see
that the great State Of New York Is one
of the broa6est and most importan
battle-fields to be carried. Can Blaine
carry it There is no special reason for
believing he can. Can Conklins carry
it? If any Republican can, he can.
Who comes up from Pennsylvania with
his strong array of reserves at his back !:
John Hartranft. Can he carry his State:
He always has How about Ohio and
the Rag Baby ? Where's Hayes There
he sits, backed BY all the votes from his
State. He has never lost gun. And
so on and on and on. This is what we
mean by business-like phase IN poll
tics. We mean that while these facis
are taken into consideration the wise
