REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION.
ROUSING ENTHUSIASM AT
CINCINNATI.
Speech of Ex-Sec'y Bristow.

CINCINNATI, June 24-Between 4, 200
and 5000 people were present at the
Republican meeting tonight at Expo
sition Hall. The principal speakers
were Secretary BristOw, Stanley Math-
eWs and eX Gov. Noyes. -.
EX-Gov. Noyes presided. Speaking
of Gov. Hayes he said: "He is in full
sympathy with the spirit of refor IN
of the public mind, and under his adj
ministration thieves and rascals will
not grow rich. He will labor for the
pacification and prosperity of the
South, for the enforcement of the laws
and for the honest payment of the ma
tional debt"
SECRETA ARY-BRISTOW's BEN ARKS.
Ex-Sec'y Bristow was received with
the greatest enthusiasm, the audience
rising to their feet and cheering sever
al minutes. Mr.. Bristow said the great
Outrouring OF the people tonight tes-
titles to the fact that the Republican
Convention did its work wisely. The
platfarm is one upon which every pa
triotic citizen may securely stand. 1T
commits the Republican party to the
resumption of specie payments. There
must be no step backward, but steady
progress toward resumption and re-
turn to the money of the Constitution;
every expedient for which, which falls
short of absolute resumption, will prove
and deceptive. Ia speaking
of civil service reform, Mr.: Bristow |
said: 1.-The Convention has given us !
simple and easy method of reforming
our civil service, which is neither more
nor less than the practical application
Of the rule, which works so we'll in
private life, that every man should
mind his own business and leave 9TH

WITH an Ohio man in the White
House, an Ohio man as the Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, and another
as Associate Justice, with an Ohio
man in the Cabinet, there is prospect
that the due influence of the Buckeye
State in the National Councils will be
maintained. The modesty of the
State, even if there had been no consti-
tutional liabilities would have pre-
vented her claiming the second place
as we'll as the first, on the Cincinnati

President Grants Centennial
Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The follow
ing was issued to-day by the President
of the United States of America:
A PROCLAMATION.
The Centennial anniversary of the
day on which the people of the United
States declared their right to separate
and equal station among the powers of
earth, seems to demand an exceptional
observance. The founders of the Gov
ernment at its birth and in its feeble
ness, invoked the blessings and protec-
tion of a Divine Providence, and thir-
teen colonies and three millions of peo-
pie have expanded into a nation of
strength and Numbers, commanding a
position which then was asserted and
for which fervent prayers were then
offered. 1t seems fitting that an occur
renee of the one huDdrcdth anniver-
sary of our existence as natiQesa CRATE
full acknowledgment should bemade to
Almig bty God for the protection and
bounties which He has vouchsafed to
our beloved country. l therefore in
vite all good people of the United
States on the approaching Fourth day
of July, in addition to the usual obSer-
vances with hich they are accustom-
ed to greet the return of the day,
further in such manner and at such
times as in their respective localities
and religious associations may be most
to mark its recurrence by
some public, religious and devout
to the Almighty God for
the blessings which have been bestow-
ed on US as nation during the century
of our existence and humbly to make
Il continuance of his favor and of this
protection. In witness whereof, have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
18th day of June in the year of our
Lord 1876 and of the Independence of
the Tooth.

and criminal practices have been re-
sorted to in order to acquire means

The. evil has. been of gradual de-

alike gradual. 1t must consist, first,
in making sure: the punishment of

hitherto secured them against detec-

much on our silly attachment to
themselves. We should remember
that they are not even angels, much

Secretary BeIknap's Disgrace.

1t is proved beyond controversy
that Secretary Belknap, Of the War
Department, has been guilty of Off
cial malfeasance and bribery, and he
has, consequently, resigned his po-
sition. 1t seems that he sold the
leadership of Fort Sill to one C. P.
March, for $40, 900 the first year, and
$4,000 annually thereafter. The
bargain appears to have been made
with the deceased wife of the Secre-
retary, to whom Mr.. March made
the first payments. After her death,
however, the payments were made
directly to the Secretary himself,
thus showing conclusively his CON-
plicity in the corrupt bargain. In
deed, his own statement amounts to
a confession.
There is really something terrible
in the revelations of corruption made
within the last few years. We have
had such succession of exposures
of crime in high places, that we are
almost forced to the conviction that
there is no honor and integrity left
in the land. A large number of our
most prominent public men, many
Of them occupying high positions in
social life and in religious circles,
have been found guilty of acts which
would consign one in a humber
sphere to years of imprisonment.
most of these, although escaping the
law, have sunk in obscurity, and are
only remembered with shame.
The intimate associates of Presi-
dent Grant have been peculiarly un-
fortunate. No matter whether they
occupied places in his cabinet or
were filling subordinate positions,
few Of them have escaped with un-
tarnished regulations. From the
time Of the Credit Mobilier expos
ures down to the present, the coun-
try has continued to be shocked with
the details of their peculations and
crimes.
1t will not do to attribute all this
to accident, or to maintain that the
President has been simply unhappy
in his selections. Such excuses are
not reasonable. There is a cause
for this thing, elsewhere than in the
parties who have fallen. We must
look for it in the social habits, the
extravagances,-which have become
common in Washington since the
