/" FIXING THINGS. 4"

While it is impossible to predict with
any degree OF accuracy the state of The
vote on the first, or any subsequent, ballot
at the Cincinnati convention, or how, to 8
man, given delegation will vote for a can
didate for the presidency, there seems 10
be no reasonable doubt that Benjamin III.
Brstow will be the choice of the convcn-
-tiotr TVS -tfic-cuu7-
try. This result will be due, not only to
the eminent fitness and sterling integrity
of Mr.. Bristow, but TO the general disgust
of the country With "machine politics
Disguise ii as their friends msy attempt, it
is an undenable TACT that whatever OF
strength Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Morton or Mr..
Conkling may have in the convention
unless we may except Mr.. Blaine's strength
in Maine, and Mr.. Morton's in Indiana,
where they are "fayorte eons'-wil be
due entirely to "nxing things IL advance
by personal solicitation, by political mis-
sionaries, by manipulating primaries aud
packing conventions. The strength OF Mr..
Bristow, whatever it may be, is of another
kind. 1t is the strength Of popular appre-
citation, and has been obtained without
self-seekng, the aid of emissaries, or the
use of organized effort.
Perhaps never in the political history of
the country, certainly never in that of the
republican party, has there been such a

Delano-Father and Son.

The committee on expenditures in the
interior department have at last stumbled
on to corruption trail that seems to lead
tolerably sharp to ex-Secretary Delano.
While investigating the charge that John
Delano. son of ex-Secretary Delano, got
$4,000 for the fraudulent patent granted TO
the owners of the Flagstaff mine, posses
sion was obtained of three seconds of ex-
change, one OF which was drawn by ex-
Senator Aleck Mcdonald Of Arkansas for
$4,000. Ex-senator Mcdonald, not know
ing that this proof was in the committees
possession, appeared before them and de-
MED in the most indignant manner that he
had ever been interested in any way in OBJ
tanning the patent for the mine. He was
then confronted with the draft, at which he
was stricken epeechless. This was last
Friday, aud when asked to state to whom
he had paid the $4,000 the confused Nc
Donald wanted time till next day. On
Saturday, he was conveniently ill., and sent
doctors certificate. Meanwhile, having
consulted counsel, Mcdonald made up his
mind TO make clean breast Of the whole
business, anG came up, Monday, looking
remarkably well, and stated before the
committee that he had paid the $4,000 to
DelanO, but he did not know what for, ETC.,
and only handed him the money as mes
senger would at the request OF Col. Inper-
soil, the counsel of the company. The
committee have also proof that ex-senator
Thayer OF Nebraska got $4,000 They will
subpoena him and also Col Shafer of New
York, who, together with one Davis, sold
the mine to London company, and raised
$4,000 for obtaining the patent. The
committee believe that the $40, 900 paid to
John Delano went to his father, the ex-
| secretary, for issuing this patent.

A correspondent or the New Y DIRK Times
is in Indiana, and writes of the "centen-
"nial canvass" as figured by Morton's
friends. They claim on the first ballot, in
Guiding twenty votes from Alabama, two
hundred and forty-two votes, and say that
after that ballot, pennsylvania will jump
d" n,and up Morton goes to three hundred,
" and then the stampede will come in his
flavor and he will be nominated on the Sec
fond ballot" The letter was written Thurs
day of last week, aud subsequent events
favor the belief that it foreshadows the ad-
ministration programme and expresses its
opinion, and moreover, that Morton's
friends in Indiana knew of the course to
be pursued in Washington. The appoint
ment of Charles L. Mayer as United States
marshal OF Alabama, and that of Don Cam
eron as secretary of war, looks very much
IS IL the administration were determined to
force the Spencer delegation from Alabama
on the Cincinnati convention, and bring
about the delivery of the Pennsylvania del
egation to Morton. Is it part of the pro-
gramme that Conkling is to gracefully re-
tire ? We fear that Morton's friends will
find it very bad year for tho carrying out
OF this kind of programme.

Political Notes.


Tue Auburn, N. Y, Advertiser is of the
opinion the republicans will want William
A. Wheeler to bear their gubernatorial
stand Lard next year.
The Springfield Republican says " On
general principles, we think it may be safe
ly assumed that Uncle Luke Poland Is not
a Morton man. His Arkansas experience
with the bloody shirt crowd was of an edu-
eating character"
Henry L. Pierce declines to be caudi-
date for reelection to congress from the
third Massachusetts, district. Mr.. Pierce
is one Of the ablest and purest men in the
house, and the country will regret his de-
termination as much as his constituents
will
Mr.. Bristow was rejected, not because
he is not gentleman nor tired and true
republican, but because he is an aggres-
eivcly honest and efficient public servant,
These twelve black balls but draw the line
more emphaticslly and ineradicably be-
tween republican reformers and republican
bummers. -Ua'per's Weekly.
The Bristow movement since the Massa-
chusetts state convention, Is assuming
rapidity of growth and awakening de-
gree of enthusiasm that presage inevitable
success, and, if the national convention
could be held to-day, with delegates fresh
from the people, his nomination would be
almost a foregone conclusion. -Kxeter ".
II. Neps-Letter.
Our information as to Michigan is this
precisely: Blaine will have twelve and
Bristow ten votes on the first ballot. When
Blaine passes in his checks, Bristow will
have the whole delegation. Three fourths
OF the republicans Of Michigan are for
Bristow, but they did not manage the ma
chine very handsomely. Cinsinn0ti Com

The republican party has it in its power
to take course that will sweep the coun-
try with whirlwind OF enthusiasm. This
can be done by the nomination of Bristow.

canvass might be Invested of much of iti

In the minds of nine-tenths, or more, Of
the republicans of this section, the bes

get the nomination, Bristow ia the only
man who can surely carry Connection

guess DR.. Butternut, of Newport, is
about right when he says in the Springfield
Republican Col. Meads friends prefer to
wait and take their chances in running him
to beat Denison for congress rather than
pitch In for the governorship on the Yer
mont Farmers suggestion, Mr.. Jameson's
letter to The GLOBE notwithstanding.
From what i know of Mr.. Mead and the
second district (and | have seen politics in
that district should regard Mr.. Mead's
chances for congress as very good, aud he
Is probably too sensible to throw them
away or endanger them by going into a
canvass for the governorship. The best
name have seen suggested for the COVER
norship was that of Horace Fairbanks.
Had they said Franklin instead of Horace
they would not have met with refusal,
but they didn't say Franklin, and venture
to say they won't.
THE HOWE SCALES.
Speaking of the Fairbanks of course
suggests scales. The Fairbanks scale is
the one most often met with wherever l
go on this coast, but notice a good many
of the new ones are Howes. The Howe
company say their business is increasing
the most rapidly on the Pacific coast, and
can well believe them. | think it cannot
be long before they will take the lead here.
One reason of this, | presume, is that the
| original Fairbanks brothers, except Thad-
deus, are dead, and he is too far advanced
in yoars.to give that attention to the inven-
| ton of improvements that he used to.
| Horace and Franklin have their hands full
of business aside from studying up new in
ventions. On the other hand, the Brandon
company are in the hight of their inventive
capacity, and the fact that within few
| years they have increased the business 80
that instead of less than thirty they employ
more than half as many hands as the Fair
banks, tends to confirm me in that view.

A report of the commissioner Of GUS
toms, in response to resolution of the
house, shows that for the thirty years prior
to June 80, 1860, there was deficiency in
the receipts from customs of two hundred
and fifty dollars in every one hundred
thousand dollars collected, while for the
fifteen years subsequent to that date, with
more than double the amount of receipts,
the deficiency was only nineteen dollars in
every one hundred thousand. The dis
bnrsements for the same two periods were
about the same in amount, while the def
cheney for the thirty years was seven hun
dred and sixty dollars for every one hun
dred thousand dollars, while for the fifteen
years it was less than forty dollars to every
hundred thousand. A very favorable show
ing indeed, but it must be remembered
that the scandals which have disgraced the
country and the administration were not in
connection with the customs department.

do the same with her three votes, leaving
only the three votes of Oregon doubtful. ]
