ton and Conkling seems to be q natural
and inevitable result.
The strength of Bristow remains to be
developed. As we have said. Bristow has
made a summer lightning canvass, which has
interested the party without impressing it.
lie is good man and would make a good
President Somehow the people have an
idea that Bristow would surround himself
with detectives and give us an adminstra-
ton like that of Fouche under the First
Empire. No gentleman. however much he
may admire Bristow, cares to have an admin
istration based upon these principles The
next forty-eight hours will be given to the
development of these various influences.
When we see how strong each party really
is we may form an idea of the probable
alliances and developments of the Conven-
ton. If the friends Of Blaine and Bristow
should break from their candidates and
unite their natural choice will be Wash
burne or The Great Unknown. If the friends
of Governor Morgan in this State should, as
is limited, take part in any such move
ment, with view of making the
Governor Vice President, the Conven-
ton will nominate Mr.. Washburne. 1t
will be an argument in favor of such
combination that Washburne and Morgan
would make the strongest ticket that could
be nominated. If, on the other hand, New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio can unite,
giving the first place to Conkling and the
second to Hayes, we shall have ticket
which will poll the full strength of the party.
AS it now looks the tides seem to drift to-
ward Washburne and Morgan on the one
side and Conkling and Hayes on the other.
The first will be compromise, the second
q regular old-fashioned, true blue republic
can ticket.
There is, rs we have said, The Great IN
known. But we trust the republicans, when
they are about it, will give US man and not
a name. We know Washburne and Conkling.
Morton and Blaine These men are the
true leaders of the party. 1t will be cow
ardice for the party to take any one but
leader. What we want is fair, up-and-
down, Notwithstanding, courageous
canvass, with republican on one side and
democrat on the other-a canvass for men,
not myths.

THE TIDE FOR EURoPE.--The steamers
which sailed on Saturday were filled with
pleasure-goers hurrying over the seas to
the boulevards and the springs. On the
other hand, we do not observe any increase
in the travel to this country. That tide that
was coming to the Centenn al does not come.
Two things are evident, rs we predicted from
the beginning-th there will be no increase
in travel to this country and no diminution
in the travel to Europe on account OF the
Centennial. Foreigners will hardly care to
cross the stormy seas to see show which is
only what they have seen over and over
again in London and Paris and Vienna.
Dur own people will have their run to
Killarney and the lakes and see the Cen
tennial when they come home and the
weather is not so warm. 1t is pleasant to
see how heartily the foreign correspondents,
and especially the correspondent of the
London Times, speak OF the Centennial.
After all. the special correspondents are the
real ambassadors OF peace and good will be-
tween the great nations

Every despatch tells us of "Conkling
music" and ''Conkling enthusiasm" How
could it be otherwise when we know that
the enthusiasm is under the especial CON-
mand of ex-Collector Murphy, Colonel
Frank T.. Howe and Hugh j. Hastings, the
friend of Andrew jackson? These are the
boys to see that the noise is not neglected,
and noise is sometimes potent in a weary

The SERMONS YEsTERDAY.-The passing of
Trinity Sunday attracted the attention of
the Roman Catholic and Episcopalian de
vines to the great mystery of the Triune
God, and in the story from the lips Of st.
Augustine, repeated by the Rev. Mr.. Flagg,
all that is possible to be comprehended
thereof is illustrated. The sermon BY Dr.
Dix on the text, II am that / am" was n
beautiful tribute to the majesty of the
Creator. We have two sermons among our
reports on the enforcement of the Excise
law, which the clergymen evidently think
would cure intempcrance, as if the tim
Der in the door of liquor store could keep
out the tide of drunkenness in one
position more than in another. Dry up, o
ministers, the fountains of sin in the hearts
of men, and the doors of the liquor saloons
may be open from sunrise to moonset for all
the harm they will do. A political sermon
is not very inviting, for the cloth in politics
is seldom. welcome, and the advice of Mr..
Eggleston to his congregation, sound though
it might be in the main, lacks that quality
of practicability which one expects from a
man who gives ON opinion that he thinks

DoN CAMERON TO THE FRoNr.-If any one
supposed that Don Cameron would stay
away from his place at the head of the
Cameron clan ut Cincinnati because of a
paltry Secretaryship of War they did not
know the man or the tribe. The Highland
chieftain was always found at the front
when the fighting came. Don Cameron has
work to do at Cincinnati. He means to do
what he can for Hartranft, to give the Gov
ernor good record in the Convention, and
then, when honor is satisfied, go over to the
banner of Conkling. Conkling did the
Camerons favor fifteen years ago, when the
enemies of old Simon had him down and
thought he was slain. And now the Cam
erons, who have Highland memories, propose
to show Highland gratitude. Don Cameron
will be the last warrior to leave the Conkling
banner

The hosts of friends and claque,rs of the
several candidates who 60 to conventions to
''work" las they call it, for their favorites
has never been so great at any Republican
National Convention as it is at Cincinnati.
In 1864, 1868 and 1872 the choice of the con-
ventions was foregone certainty before the
delegates assembled. In those years only
one republican candidate WIS talked OF or
thought possible, and it would have been a
bootless business for big lobby to throng
to the scene of the nomination under
the pretence that they were to ''work" for
him. But this year there has been no such
concentration of republican sentiment in
favor OF any candidate, and numerous
lobby has gone to Cincinnati to snake night
by their brawling advocacy of ''favorite
sons" These busybodies will make great
figure until the Convention meets; they
drink, swear, buttonhole, predict and manu-
tacture q spurious enthusiasm for the
candidates under whose colors they en-
influence. Why then do they take so much
foolish pains? 1t is to establish claim on
the candidate they profess to serve if he
should be successful. They mean to re-
mind him, after his election, how much they
did to promote his nomination. in the hope
that he will reward his Jealous and disin-
terested friends in the bestowal of offices.
They will be the most persistent and
cheeky" of all office-seekers if their candi-
date should be elected. But they will
deserve nothing, because they produce no
more effect on the result than the flies that
light on a coach wheel do in setting the
vehicle in motion.
They recall an anecdote which some
ancient author tells of Diogenes, the cynic
philosopher. When Sinope, the town where
he resided, was besieged by the enemy and
all the citizens Of military age were busy in
gathering arms and strengthening the forti-
fcations, Diogenes was observed to be in
dustriously engaged in rolling his tub back
and forth in the streets, putting and sweat
ing with the unwonted exertion. ''Whnt are
you doing this for?" said bystander.
"When all the citizens are SO active in de-
Tending the city," was the response, lit
seemed necessary that 1, as good patriot,
should do something" The hosts of lobby
lists at Cincinnati are merely trundling the
tub of Diopenes

BEGIN AT THE. BEGINNING. We sometimes
think there is good deal of cant about a
Presidential canvass reforming and purify
ing the country. The President has only
limited authority. He can carry out no re-
form unless he has the aid Of Congress
Thus Grant tried to give us civil service
reform, but the Congressman would not per-
NIT it. The way to secure this or any other
reform is for the people to see that the
different districts elect good men to Con-
gress There is where reform will begin.
We give the Presidency too much impor-
lance. We can never have good admins
tration until we take pains to keep the
bummers and strikers out Of Congress.

The Vice Presidency.

We print elsewhere a curious and interest
ing historical sketch of the Vice Presidents,
intended as reminder of the Importance
of the second Office in the government. In
the contemplation Of the trainers of the con-
stitution the Vice Presidency was more
important Office than it has proved to be
in practice. Until the constitution was
amended, after Jefferson s first election, there
was no such thing as a separate vote for
President and Vice President. Each men,
Der Of the electoral college voted for two
candidates for President, the candidate hav-
ing the highest number being elected Presi-
dent and the candidate having the next
highest number of votes for President being
elected Vice President 1t was the probable
intention that the Vice President should per-
form the duties of the highest Office when
ever the President was absent from the seat
Of government or disabled by sickness, in
the same manner that the President of our
Common Council discharges the Office of
Mayor under similar circumstances. But
this was never done. A precedent has estab-
lished the rule that the second officer never
performs the duties of the first unless the
Presidency becomes vacant by death, resig-
nation or removal. But these contingencies
render the Office of Vice President of great
Importance. The highest Office has already
been thrice vacated by death, and in each
case the party electing the Vice President
has suffered by its want of care and fore
sight in selecting him. It is to be hoped
that similar distraction, which so seriously
impairs the efficiency of the government,
may not occur again, and that no man may
be nominated by either party for the second
Office whom it would be unwilling to trust
with the duties and responsibilities Of the
first.

THE BRAZILIAN EMPEROR certainly goes
about the business of inspecting the points
of interest on his remarkable tour of observa-
ton with a vim rarely observable in crowned
heads and, indeed, not often to be met with
in any walk of life. His Majesty, during
his s ort time among us, has seen more of
America than most Americans, and from the
keenness of his mental vision he has doubt
less been enabled to lay by store of remin-
iscences that will we'll repay him for the
energy he has expended in gathering facts
and seeing things with his own eyes.

OuR INTERVIEWS with the delegates to
Cincinnati are continued this morning the
strongholds of Blaine and Bristow being
chosen for these interesting reports. In
Maine everybody is Blaine, as matter of
course, and in Kentucky everybody is for
Bristow. The other States are about evenly
divided between the two champions, with n
strong undercurrent in favor Of Conkling
and occasional whispers Of Washburne and
Hayes These reports show that Conkling's
chances were never better than they are to
day.

''And he said, Can this be 2" is the form
in which Bret Harte relates the emotion OF
Bill Nye when All Sin s'laid down the right
bower which the same Nye had dealt unto
me-" Our correspondent, Behind the
Scenes, hints at a programme to be adopted
at Cincinnati which would certainly stagger
the present candidates if put in practice.
What it. after all the dealing and slipping OF
right and left bowers up the sleeves of poll
ticians, the game was to be decided by such
a coup de main as settled the game of All Sin !!
Surprising Blaine, or Bristow, or Morton, or
all of them, to represent the Heather Chinee,
and that Conkling represents the Truth
full James, who received the right
bower from Grant in the character of Bill
Nye, can we not easily picture the President
rising with sigh, saying, can this be, and
amid the war whoop of the onlookers going
for the Heather Chinee until there was not
enough of him left to fill cigar box? Who
will not admit that there is life in the old
man yet? Amid all the noise of the canvass
there has been but little sound from the
direction of the White House. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the President has dealt
the right bower to the Senator from New
York, but consider his CONSERVATION at see
ing Blaine. or Norton or Bristow take the
same right bower from his sleeve to play it
on the Convention. AS he rose in outraged
majesty and went for the Heather Chinee
might he not carry all the republicans along
with him?

ABDUL AzIz. We are afraid the friends
of monarchical system of government fail
to do justice to the royal virtues of the late
lamented Sultan of Turkey. When he fell
his country was impoverished and its debts
were dishonored. But this thoughtful mon
arch had millions upon millions slowed
away in his cellars. When he was king there
was no department of his Empire so we'll
protected as his menagerie of Wild animals.
When he was deposed he went into seclusion
with ssfifty-four boat loads Of women" In
fact, since the death of the first gentleman
of Europe, His Revered and Gracious Majesty
George w., whose memory is so dear to the
present royal family that the Queen resented
the Greville Memoirs as nm affront, there has
been no king who has shown himself SO true
a representative of the royal quality as this
Sultan. He did what he pleased, had every
thing his own way, and allowed the country
to go to the devil. He was king by s'the
grace of God" We hope that his character
will receive justice at the hands of some of
the eloquent admirers Of a royal system.

Mr.. Bergh has won point on the turtle
question. He demonstrated about the
manner in which the turtles are car
ried from Key West. To this answer
was made that any way with turtle was
o proper way, as it was an animal with
out feeling and could be carried in any po-
sition without causing pain. Whereupon
Mr.. Bergh prints q certificate from Agassiz
showing that the turtle is sensitive ami
NAL, and that there could be no severer tor
ture than that to which it is exposed by our
dealers. He suggests that when turtles are
brought to market they should be kept in
tanks Of water and allowed as much comfort
as possible while they do live. We think
Mr.. Bergh is right. 1t is just as easy to
bring the turtle in tank of water as it is to
tie its fins and throw it into the hold of a
vessel, or tie it on its back in an attitude
which an eminent scientific authority de-
clares not only to be torture to the animal,
but the cause sometimes of poison in the
food. Mr.. Bergh's plan will be kinder to the
turtle and more wholesome to the lover of
turtle soup. 1t is in this aspect of his work
that Mr.. Bergh appears at his best. When
he shows how an abuse can be reformed
public opinion will sustain him in reform
ing it,

The ILLNESS OF Mr. BLAINE, which on the
first reports assumed an alarming character,
is now stated as likely to yield promptly to
the vigorous treatment he received at the
hands of the eminent physicians
called in. The remark Of Mr. Gar
field as to its being assassination
was evidently due to an excited
imagination. We cannot afford to miss Mr..
Blaine from the canvass at this iuncture, and
the report of his improved condition will be
received with pleasure by all fractions of re-
publicans. To his friends the news will be
doubly gratifying, and to his opponents ut
Cincinnati it will be matter for rejoicing that
they will not be called on to make war on
sick candidate, who carries sympathy in pro-
portion to his suffering.
