nlalne,s Secret.

The secret of the extraordinary power
manifested by Mr.. BLAINE in the Ciucin-
natl Convention forms problem Of curl
Gus interest. The elements OF this power
seem to us to be four.
I. He has long been known rs hostile to
GRANT and the men who surround him.
Though retaining his place and his stand
ing in the Republican party, he has for
years past poured contempt upon the Adj
ministration, even while he has supported
and furthered its measures Thus the uni
versal disgust toward GRANT and Grant
ism which has come to pervade the Rcpub-
lican party found a natural centre and
representative in the member from Ken
nebcc.
H. He had the support and aid OF JAY
GOULD and Tom SCorr, who wanted rail-
road johber in the White House TO aid the
purposes of their railroad jobbery.
Ill. His personal friends are many and
warmly attached. Brother BLAINE has q
charm that binds men TO him. His mag
netism Is something uncommon, and his
tact in dealing with men Is extraordinary.
He puts on no airs, II never out Of bumor,
receives "A street sweeper rs he would re-
oeive a prince, and keeps on agreeable
terms with all the world and the rest of
mankind. None OF our politicians have
equalled BLAINE in this particular since
the DAYS of Henry CLAY.
". He had the backing of the anti
Catholic movement--a power more in
tense, more earnest, more pertinacious
than all the Others, and power known
by its acts a great deal more than by its
words.
With all those causes united. 1t is no
wonder that such scamp rs BLAINE got
three hundred and fifty-one votes as a
candidate for President Mt Cincinnati.

An Interesting Proposition.

We learn that for some days past an
effort has been on foot TO concentrate
upon Senator THURMAN of Ohio, the sup
port Of those who are hostile to the nomi-
nation of Gov. TIrDEN Mt st. Louis. This
effort proceeds upon tho idea that the
delegates of Ohio In the st. Louis Conven-
ton though supposed to be devoted TO
WILLIAM ALLEN, having been chosen rs
his supporters aud instructed to support
him rs their candidate, can yet be brought
20 desert the old fellow and go over TO the
banner OF Mr.. THURMAN.
Now, Senator THURMAN Is n statesman of
brilliant abilities, and real weight. He
would make an excellent President but the
difficulties in bringing him forward Mt
present are not small. In the first place,
The movement Is undertaken too late, and
has too much of subterraneous charac-
ter; and in the second place, If we are not
misin formed, II is not really started with
the expectation OF nominating Mr.. THUR
MAN, but for the purpose and with the hope
Of dividing and confusing the supporters
OF GOV. TILDEN and bringing the Conven-
ton to nominate Gen. HANCOCK.
Gen. HANCOCK is not only u brave and
gallant officer, but au estimable gentle
man, aud his public acts, especially when
he has been acting IN semi-clvil capacity,
have been SO well advised that they have
received a just degree of admiration. But
he is IA graduate of West Point, soldier
by education, by profession, by habit, and
In the whole bent and composition Of his
mind.
The American people do not want an
other soldier for President, not even Gen.
HANCOCK. Rather than again elect sol
der to that high Office they will elect Mr..
HAYES. To keep the Republican party
longer in power would expose the country
20 serious danger and mIschief but an-
other soldier President seems to the people
worse even than that.

Not for Gov. Tilden.

Several country journals, i'm comment
ing on the articles that have recently APP
peared i'll THE SUN, recommending that
the existing breach in the Democratic
party in this State should be healed, refer
to them as written in the interest of Gov.
TILDEN. This is "A mistake. They are not
written particularly in his interest-Do
more in his interest than in that of Chief
Judge CHURCH and other good and true
men with whom we desire cordially To CO.
operate in reforming the administration
Of the Government. Probably no man IN
The State was more surprised at reading
these articles than the Governor himself.
Certainly he had no reason TO anticipate
ihem.
No. the few words we have said on the
mbject have been uttered in the interest
Of no individual. They have been spoken
Tor the country, and from an earnest de-
lire. born of conviction TO see the Gov
ernment restored to the simplicity and in
legrity Of the time of JEFFERSON. 1hey
have been inspired by this wish, by this
hope, and not by any petty purpose to
promote any ones ambitious designs.
There can be no good reason for the ex-
Btence OF breach between Judge CHURCH
and Gov. TILDEN. SO we have thought
and said so we think and say. The COM
mon cause in which they are now invited
TO engage should inspire them, and should
inspire the friends of each, AS it seems to
us, with a brotherly feeling, and their
union and cooperation is too important to
be postponed.
These are our own sentiments, suggested
by the condition OF national affairs. No
one else has any responsibility for them,
or any influence or agency in their public
expression. Gov. TILDEN may possess re-
markable prescience; but he knows rs lit
tie in advance what The SUN is to say as
any man in tho State. Our suggestions
may be taken for what they are worth !;
but those of our contemporaries who
speak Of them ms coming from him, could
not fail into more complete error.

Certainly Dom PEDRO, the Emperor of
Brazil, missed one OF the most interesting spec
tacles he could see during his tour through the
United states, when he failed to visit Cincinnati
during the National Convention last week He
would then and there have got notion OF he
split Of American politics, and OF the way in
winch the political machinery is operated. In
no other country OF tho world could lie witness
such sight and even here he cannot behold IL
every day. Perhaps. however, the Emperor may
have purposely overlooked the Republican Con
yention, and may intend to visit the National
Democratic Convention when II meets in 81.
Louis on Tuesday OF next week. II his Majesty
should be present on that occasion, and II Uncle
SAM THDEN should then be nominated for
President, the Emperor viii have something in
teresting to tell the monarchs OF Europe when
he leaves us to meet them.

The Place of the Accident.

The most probable place OF the occur
renee of tho next accident on the Long
Island Railroad Is a little east of Hicksville,
where a dozen cows and one horse are pas
mred in a lot unfenced aud open to the
road. The horse is lame and does not move
quick v, aud he has got accustomed to the
whistle Of the locomotive, SO that il has
little terror for him. The train generally
comes nearly to a stand still before he gets
,ff the track. After he gets II little more
familiar with the cars, il will probably be
necessary to run over him rs the only way
f getting rid OF him. Journals who desire
~ be ahead with the news will do well,
therefore, to keep one reporter stationed at
ms point He could occupy the interven-
NJ time before the accident IN interviewing

property destroyed, he might have pre-
urinary appraiserneut of the old horse

Another reporter apractioed man, who
knows how TO jump quickly from train,
Ihould travel on the cars for COWS and

Al different points. An accident from this

ness community Of this city that the policy
Of Mr.. VANDERBILr, "to carry the great
staples from the West to New York at as
low rates as any other line will carry them
10 rival seaboard Cities" has met with the
entire approval and warmest support Of
all classes. Mr.. Vanderbilt will enter
into no compact with rival roads which
discrimnates against New York, In favor
of Boston, Philadelphia, or Baltimore. He
believes that under a system OF uniform
rates to seaboard cities New York VIII
secure her full share of Western traffic
and the export grain trade. The Pennsyl-
vania Central and the Baltimore and Ohio
are making desperate stand to retstab-
lish and maintain the old compact rates
which gave such enormous advantages to
Baltimore and Philadelphia ms against
New York. II these roads really deplore
the existing state of things, why not pro-
pose peace on basis of uniform rates, ire
spective of mileageY Railroads have be-
come rivers as channels of traffic, and the
natural advantages Of seaboard cities no
longer decide questions of prominence
among the various centres of population.
The natural advantages of New York, for
example, are largely due TO its superb har-
Dor and grand fuvial communications with
| the interior, which IN a measure lose their
controlling power in the pressure of u rail-
way system coextensive with the CONT
nent, and Of a capacity practically without
limit.
The people of New York would have
been glad TO see the Erie ana the Central
fighting shoulder IN shoulder afainst rix Al
roads. IL is said that Col. Tom SooTT feels
certain Of forcing Mr.. Vanderbilt TO n
surrender or compromise. That Mr..
ScoTr has placed the Erie Railway, or
what remains of it, in the front rank Of
his column Of attack is no longer secret
| to the pubic ut large.

Among the many incidents at Cincinnati
which have attracted comment. one appears TO

rious characters figured. IL 10 thus reported In

CHANDLERis pretty well known a profess
sonal lobbyist at Washington, and has been con
nected with all the Republican schemes and
jobbery into which he could get admission. He
has been the Secretary OF the National Republi-
can Committee, and appeared at Cincinnati as
one OF BLArNE's chief strikers. BILL kEMBLE
Is notorious as the author OF addition, divis-
ion, and silence" In point OF moral standing
and associations the pair are upon dead level.
II the charge be true that CHANDLER stole and
sold KENNELS tickets, without accounting for
them In any way or proposing division, II was
plain violation of the cardinal principle OF
their profession, which recognizes honor among
Its members US obligatory to the last degree, and

The German delegates to the Cincinnati
Convention held conference there the evening
before the sssemblago OF the Convention.
Judge DIrTENHOEFER of this city was Chair
man. They embodied their desires in n series Of
resolutions, the cceptance OF which, they said,
was needed to secure Il full German support to
the Republican ticket. They asked that the
Republican platform should contain panks In
favor Of compulsory education and the taxa
tion OF church property, and against any recog-
milton OF any religious system by state or Fed
eral Government, or any constitutional an end

II there was any doubt about the nomi-
nation of Gov. TLDEN before, we think
the action OF the Cincinnati Convention
has removed all uncertainty about the
matter. 1t can he of no advantage 10 any
one to underestimate the strength of the
ticket set up at Cincinnati. That strength
may be principally of n negative charac-
ter, but il is nevertheless very formidable.
Ii il too great to be safely encountered
with any candidate but the strongest that
can be named on the Democratic side and
il seems very clear that the strongest can
didate on that side is Gov. TILDEN.
We think a good deal may be learned by
the developments at Cincinnati. They in-
dictate very plainly that the idea of reform
is powerful with the mass of the people.
Mr.. BLAINE had the prestige derived from
his recent manifestation of desperate
courage in repelinG the attacks made upon
him; the enthusiasm OF the party was in
his favor; but il was impossible TO obtain
the votes Of majority OF the delegates
for him, because they knew the opposition,
on the part OF the people. to candidate
tainted with corruption could not be over
come.
This prevailing sentiment must be re-
garded by the Democrats in making their
nominations, or they VIII have no chance
OF success. This cannot be done so effec-
tually in any other way rs by the nomina-
ton of Mr.. TILDEN. In the minds of the
people he is the representative OF reform.
His nomination would be regarded as the
espousal OF the cause of reform; while his
rejection would be looked upon as an
abandonment of that cause; and, we APP
prehend, il would prove fatal TO the hopes
OF the party.
