The recent event which is making so
great sensation at Washington and through
out the country will be naturally and justly
favorable to his nomination at st. Louis
Whether this new turn of affairs is also
favorable to his election depends on the re-
publican selection of a candidate. Against
Mr.. Washburne he would have very
slender chance indeed, for Mr.. Washburne
has the most enviable record of any public
man of either party MS an unfinching foe of
political jobs. 1t is probable that Mr.
Washburne would carry Governor Tilden's
own State on the reform issue.
There is a steady drift toward making
reform the cardinal question, and this issue
should help the democratic party. The fall
and disgrace of distinguished republican
statesmen and the accommodating proofs that
official life he's become revoltingly COR
rupt during the long republican ascend
ancy is good reason why there
should be a new deal. A party which
has abused its power deserves to go out,
and it is high time to turn over new leaf
Win u cunuiuatc coHsplcuOusiy lucutlueu
with reform on the democratic side and a
candidate who has taken no marked interest
in the subject on the republican side the
honest masses would rally around the
standard bearer of reform. The fact that
Mr. Tildcns motives are aspersed by his
personal and political enemies will have
little effect so long as no act of dishonesty
can be proved against him. The people
desire an opportunity to bear their emphatic
testimony against corruption in high places
In supporting Mr.. Tilden they would not so
much vouch for the purity of his motives rs
attest their indignation against dishonesty in
public life. In the vigorous assault on the
Tammany Ring in this city there we're
reasons enough for distressing prominent
members of the Committee Of Seventy, but
an inccnsed community cared less for the
motives of that committee than for breaking
down and destroying a set of notorious
thieves. They ACTED as loyalists would

The "Oaks" is the ladies' day on Epson
Downs, and according to our special cable
correspondence from London the race this
year was as well attended and as successful
as an elegant show as in any former year.
The roughness of the Derby Day. which is
the great jubilee of all classes, from crown
princes to cadgers, from dukes to dogs
meat men, is softened and smoothed away
on the ladies' day, and the Downs, as our
correspondent states, become the scene of
an elegant .fetc. This year-for the second
time since the Oaks Stakes have been con-
tended for-the race ended in a dead,
heat, Camelia and Enguerrande-both

for the Oaks was in the race Of 1853 when

Governess and Gildermire afterward ran
deciding heat for first and second places,
and Governess was the winner. This year
the French FLIES divided the first and

have acted during the war if an
insult had been offered to the national flag
Even if the bearer of the flag had been per-
son OF doubtful loyalty it would have made
little difference with citizens who thought it
their first dutys to stand by the Republic.
The people, in this political crisis, desire an
opportunity to express their indignant
reprobation of official scoundrels. They ask
for candidates whose record gives them a
title to be considered as representatives of
reform. They will not mind small flaws in
the character of candidates if they are right
on the main issue. Neither party can afford
to ignore this popular demand. If the re-
publicans nominate Washburne and the
democrats Tilden reform will be safe which
ever wins. These Notifying exposures
multiply SO fast that all other issues are
likely to be swallowed up in the paramount
question of public purity, and this strong
tendency is favorable to the hopes of reform
candidates on both Sides

The anti-Tammany democrats have is
sued an address to the people of New York,
in which they show very conclusively that the
Tammany organization is no better entitled
now to public confidence than it was last year,
when its candidates were beaten in the city
by a heavy majority. The one-man power is
exercised in more despotic manner now
than it was then. Democrats who dare to
have any opinions of their own are
still ground down into the dust or driven
from the organization. The reduction of
the laborers' wages which was the work Of
Tammany administration, has been fol-
lowed by raids on the liquor dealers under
the direction of Tammany Mayor and
Police Commissioner of his appointment.
The democrats of the city have no moro
voice to-dayin the policy or the management
of the party than they had when the dictator
put forth Mayor Wickham SYSTEMATICALLY as
"my candidate" or when he forbid the party
to nominate Judge Hackett as Recorder.
Under these circumstances the anti Tam
many democracy remains in the field and
claims to be the real democratic party of the
city of New York, promising to make the
title good next November.

A NOVEL Scene was enacted in the Su-
preme Court Circuit, h Id by Judge Dyk-
man, yesterday, in the progress of a suit for
the recovery of the amount Of check pur-
porting to have been certified by q bank
teller, but the certifcation of which is
claimed to have been n forgery. A photo
graphic artist, having darkened the court
room for the purpose, produced on the wall
an enormous picture of the certified check,
and on comparison of it with similar ccrtifi-
cations, acknowledged to be in the hand
writing of the teller, pronounced it to be
genuine. The evidence on this point was,
however, conflicting, and the case, which
involves sixty-three thousand dollars, is not
vet concluded.

Mn. BULLOCK IN SYLF-DErENcE We
print communication from Ex-Governor
Bullock of Georgia, in response to an article
which appeared in the HERALD on the occa-
sion of his arrest That article was meant to
be just and considerate, and even Mr.. Bull
lock takes no exception to its tone and
spirit The strong circumstance against
him. as we said, was his flight and protracted
absence from the State His explanation
partially mitigates the unfavorable pre-
sumption founded on that circumstance.
We have no more disposition to PREJUDICE
his case now than at the time OF his arrest.
1t is question to be decided by the judicial
tribunals Of Georgia. We await their action
and sincerely hope that Mr.. Bullock's char
acter may be fully yindicatcd. We do not
think, however, that his case is helped by
inculpations of his predecessor and his sue
cessor in Office.

CENTENNIAL. BLuNDERs AT THE ExHBI-
T1oN.-Certain faults of the Exhibition at
Philadelphia are described in our CORE
spondence to-day, and they are serious
enough to merit the attention of the direc-
tors. The difficulty of going from one part
of tho grounds to another is incident to
every large Exhibition Of the kind and may
not be easily overcome, but the very hot
weather yesterday seems to have proved
clearly that even the present methods of
conveyance within the grounds are INSULT
cient, and that mistake was made in paving
the walks with composition which the heat
is liable to melt. These matters are of great
importance to the public. The true inter-
ests of the Exhibition are not to be served by
buncombe speeches about its grandeur-for
every one knows it is grand-nor about
American liberty. The Exhibition is a prac-
tical affair, and the comfort and convenience
of visitors should be one Of the first objects

Az EXPRESSION or OPINION PROM GENERAL.
DIX, regarding the chances of prominent
candidates for the Presidency, will be re-
ceived by his fellow citizens with all the
consideration due to his long experience in
political life and thorough knowledge of the
subject whereof he speaks. We publish in
to-day's HERALD the views Of the ex-Govcr-
nor on the present campaign, and find there
in that he does not regard the success of
Mr.. Tilden at the st. Louis Convention as
the settlement of the quarrels that divide
the democratic party, but as the tirebrand
that will cause the Disseminated followers of
ssOld Bill Allen" to bolt the nomination and
cot mp candidate of their own choice. A
similar result, he predicts, will arise out Of
an Allen or soft money triumph. and the
grand finale will be an election Of the Pres
idcnt by the House of Representations, be-
cause Of no choice being made by the people.

The WINSTON CAsE.-Winslow has been
remanded finally" as the London cable
despatch says, until June 10 1t is sup
posed that the use of the words "a final
remand" is intended to convey the fact that
on the day named the accused will either be
released or delivered up to the United
States officers. At the same time there is
some reason to believe that the extradition
of the prisoner will be postponed until a
supplemental treaty can be negotiated en-
bodying the principle that an extradited
person must be tried only for the offence for
which he is delivered up to the country
claiming his extradition.

aim for power, care to advance any states
man from the East. 1t happens-if we may
repeat another open secret in current politi-
cal history-that Mr.. Blaine and Mr. WASH
burne have been for years on terms
of unusual intimacy. They messed
together in their Congress days In any ad-
ministration of which Mr.. Washburne was
chief Mr.. Blaine would be the trusted adj
wiser. Then Mr. Washburne is native of
Maine, and his family has large influence in
that State Mr.. Blaine must see that in the
developments of this preliminary canvass
the name of Washburne has grown stronger
and stronger, with silent, hidden, adher-
ing strength. He has many fine qualities
for the resideLcy-qualities written all over
his record as Congressman and Ambassa-
dor. He has been, fortunately, out of the
country during an administration which has
brought SO much ruin upon the fortunes of
many Of the devoted friends of Grant Con-
sequently, apart from the question of fitness
and looking at it simply as one Of available
ity, there are qualities about Washburne as
candidate which no other possesses.
what will Blaine do with his strength p
Can he keep it together? Will it fall into
disentegration and will his followers run
from one standard to another, caring neither
for his person nor his authority, looking on
their leader as another Abdul-Aziz, a de-
throned sultan under guard in the seraglio
and waiting until his captors make up their
minds whether to Danish or bowstring him
Will the followers Of Mr. Blaine rs candi-
date follow him as an adviser? In either
event the canvass assumes a new and impor-
tant phase. Mr.. Blaine, in the canvass as
the ally of Washburne, or out of it as another
Colfax, gives it a new meaning. The
chances Of Conkling assume new strength.
He takes Blaine's place as the favorite of
the field. Now that the force of Blaine dis
solves no other candidate will have the
strength of Conkling, and, what is more, it is
growing strength. Instead of losing his
pace he seems to grow in freshness
and yigor Although he has nearly
two weeks to run, and it is in a
season of storms and thunderbolts,
he shows no signs Of distress Some spec
tators think the fall Of Blaine means the
rise Of Bristow. If Blaine falls because he
traficked in subsidy bonds Bristow, as an
officer of the leading railway now asking the
assistance Of Congress, will hardly take his
place. More than all, from the very neces-
sity of the case, considering what motives
govern Grant and the republican party the
nominee at Cincinnati will not be man
whose election is sought by the enemies of
the republican party, and who did not hest
tate to imperil the administration of which
he was member for his own ambition.
Whatever shape the canvass may take it
seems now as if Washburne comes to the
front as the ''dark horse supported by the
followers of Blaine and challenging the
leadership Of Coakling. We must be
through with this thunderbolt before we
see its effects upon the political skies. As
they now look everything begins to clear in
the direction of Cincinnati, with Conkling
ahead and Washburne closing upon him.

While the citizens of New York ara
quietly pursuing their daily avocations,
retiring to rest at their regular hours
and rising betimes in the morning; while
the HERALD is gathering up the news from
all quarters of the globe and setting it's
enormous machinery to work to lay it before
the people with the rising sun, the Great
Train, which is to show us how near we are in
point Of time to the Pacific coast, is speeding
on night and day, never pausing and never
firing, on its way across the continent
to San Francisco. Our advices to-day are
from Cheyenne, and we learn from them
that the lightning train is ahead of time;
that it is flying through the valley Of
the Platte at the rate of fifty, and some
times even sixty miles an hour; that the
promised feat is sure to be accomplished,
and that the voyagers confidently count on
taking their Sunday dinner in the Californian
city. Half way across the continent-six-
teen hundred and fifty miles-in thirty-nine
hours is no child's play. even for the iron
horse. But we must not forget that the best
part of the journey is passed, that the
worst part has yet to come. Nevertheless.
we wish the train good speed and its living
freight such a Sunday dinner as San Fran
cisco so well knows how to furnish.
