THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES who are asked
to vote for Mr.. Blaine because he made o
speech abusing Jefferson Davis should re-
member that he did not make this speech
until he became o candidate for the Presi-
dency; that he made it against amnesty, a
measure every American desires to see
passed. They should remember that he
opposed the Force bill to conciliate the
democrats, and enabled them to have their
way by convenient ruling. The truth is
that Mr.. Blaine has trimmed on this South
ern question. Mr.. Conkling was manly
advocate of the administration policy ut the
very time that Mr.. Blaine was playing into
tho hands of the democrats The only po-
litical principle which James G. Blaine
accepts and supports is the personal ad-
vancement of James G. Blaine. He will
take no risk in politics where that interest is
concerned. Conkling's record on the South
ern question, although not altogether to our
liking, is manlier one than Blaine's.

WooDFoRp's FIGHT FOR Civil SERVICE
We commend Governor Woodford for his
efforts to compel the Republican Convention
to adopt plank in favor of civil service
the justice to say that he did his best to carry
out the civil service, and was only prevented
by the revolt of the Congressman, and cspe-
cially the Senators, who would have patron
age. The way to have civil service is to re-
form the delegations to Congress. Send good
mon to Congress, and when we have men as
good as Woodford let them stay in, and not
resign. This is the way to have civil SER
vice, and we hope our brilliant fellow citizen
will persevere in his fight.

THE CENTENNIAL QUARREL. Mr.. John
Welsh, the President Of tho Centennial
Board of Finance, regrets that any public
reference has been made to the quarrel with
the Centennial Commission. He says that
harmony of action is paramount" but We
do not see the evidence of it. Thus far there
has been nothing but discordance, and Mr.
Welsh admitted it when he referred the
question of authority to Mr.. Charles O'Conor
and other eminent members Of the Bar. We
trust that Mr.. Welsh will not gloss over this
matter, for if he does there will be disputes
and disgraoeful conflicts from now till the
end of the celebration in November.

Mn. BRIsrow is said to have forbidden any
Of his subordinates to take part in the can
vass for his nomination. This sounds well
and looks like reform But what is Bluford
Wilson doing at Cincinnati? Mr. Wilson is
an officer of the Treasury, and If it is true
about Bristow he has resigned his Office. The
Bristow reform movement is about as much
of a humbug rs the Citizens Association,
which started seven or eight years ago to
beat Tweed, and which Tweed captured and
owned as soon as 1t showed any strength.

A SORRY EXCUSE. Cincinnati corrc-
spondent reports Mr.. Mann, one Of the dele
gates from Philadelphia, as declaring that
he will never vote for Mr.. Conkling
or any New York candidate because Of
tho apathy shown by the New York people
toward the Centennial. We are sorry to
see the Centennial dragged into the canvass.
If the Pennsylvanians wish to make it an
issue they should put their feelings into o
formal shape. A resolution expressing the
sentiments of Mr.. Mann would be in order.
The truth is the people of New York do feel
the deepest interest in the Centennial and
no one has done more for it in this State
than Mr.. Conklin0. We fear Mr.. Mann

An An.,ou. Democratic spectator.

Among the distant observers of the pro-
ceedings at Cincinnati there is none, ex-
cept the republican candidates themselves,
who take SO keen an interest in the result
as Governor Tilden. What is dono at Gin
cinnati will be the making or the marring of
his political fortunes His hopes will rise
and sink with the prospects Of Mr.. Blaine
Blaine's nomination would both insure his
own and make it equivalent to an election.
No other republican candidate could bring
Tildens peculiar strength into such bold re-
lief, for against Blaine the whole democratic
canvass from beginning to end would be
concentrated on the reform issue, which is
precisely where it is Governor Tilden's in
terest, as it has been his constant aim, to
place it. Blaine's ugly letters would neces-
sarily be the principal campaign documents
on the democratic side and a reform candi-
date would have to be taken to drive them
home. Against such nm opponent Tilden
would carry New York by seventy thousand
majority, and the party that wins New York
will make sure thing of the Presidency, as
everybody comedies the strongest combina-
ton for beating Tildcn is Conkling for the
first place on the republican ticket, with
popular Western man for the Vice Presi-
dency.

PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YoHK.-It was the
vote of Pennsylvania in the Chicago Con-

who was there as the favorite son of New
York. 1t would be painful repetition Of
history if Pennsylvania were to defeat Mr..
Conkling for the same reason that it de-
fcated Mr. Seward--namely, that he is n
New Yorker. There should be the kindest
feelings between New York and Pennsyl-
vania. Pennsylvania has now fine chance
of showing them.

stood by Grant and the Southern republi-
cans on the Louisiana question at time
when Mr.. Blaine was trimming on the Force
bill and endeavoring to conciliate the rebel
element? In every quality of statesman
ship, eloquence, fidelity to party and per-
sonal character, in every attribute desirable
in President of which the country would
be proud, Roscoe Conkling is to-day head
and shoulders above any man who thus far
has been named in connection with the
Presidency at Cincinnati
If the republicans want to make brilliant
Conkling some such man as Logan of ILL
nois. Logan would make capital Vice
President. If the friends of Governor Hayes
decline to permit his name to be used for
any but the first place let Logan be taken.
General Logan is one Of the really great men
shown greatness in peace and in war; His
nomination would summon all the war feel
ing which is believed to be yet SO potent an
element in the politics of this country.
Logan is the Murat of the republican party,
and he comes at the head of the Illinois dele
cation. There is no soldier in the West
who would excite so much enthusiasm as
Logan, unless we name Phil Sheridan.
whose place in the army takes him out of the
possibilities Of nomination. Conkling and
Logan would represent the enthusiasm and
the courage of the party. They would give
the country ticket which Islander itself could
not stain. The worst that could be said Of
it would be that it is an extreme republican
ticket, which is what we expect from repub-
ican convention. New York, which would
rejoice in honoring her brilliant Senator,
would also rejoice in honoring the chival-
rous leader of the republican party in Illi-
nois.
II the republicans go into the fight with
Conkling and Logan at their head it means
. ringing aggressive fighting canvass from
the beginning. 1t means that it has as
party nothing to regret nothing to explain,
nothing to retract that it means to hold to
the power which it has held for SO many
years. 1t will be young mems ticket, re-
viving the enthusiasm of Fremont days.
The nomination of any other candidate but
CoDkling compels the democrats to nomi-
nate Tilden and gives this State to the
democrats, as Conkling is the only man
who can be depended upon to carry New
York against our venerable Governor. Mr..
Bristow would make good candidate but
for the fact that his administration would, in
the eyes Of honorable men, be tainted with
all the vices Of the detective system. Mr..
Morton's health makes him out Of the ques-
ton, much to the regret of all who honor
this noble Indianian for his patriotism dur
ing the war. In the event of the Convention
escaping from the Blaine enthusiasm, which
we suspect to be largely exaggerated, it will
drift toward some unknown candidate. 1t
may be- and possibly will be, in the power
of Mr. Blaine to direct its course in which
event we look for the nomination of Hayes
or Washburne But, in accepting or reject
ing Mr.. Conkling, the Convention which
meets to-day must accept or reject the cleo
toral vote of New York.

Thc Oosalx OF tho C0nkling Army.
The dispatches from Cincinnati are filed
with the doings and achievements of gen.
tleman long known in New York and in the
army, but now for the first time in politics.
We mean Colonel j. Schuyler Crosby, the
President of the Conkling Republican Club,
who shows the brilliancy and dash of Desaix
at Marengo in his campaign for Conkling.
Colonel Crosby was distinguished soldier
during the war, and ID the man to distin-
guish himself in any position. 1t seems
that some of our reformers thought it their
duty to insist upon taking down the Conk-
ling flag which had been hoisted under the
command of the Colonel We need not say
that the flag was not taken down. The re-
formers, who are mainly old maids in poll
tics, and have Bristow prayer meetings,
found that in dealing with Crosby they had
q man who would have thrown them out of
the window one after another and their tea
pots after them if they had attempted to
interfere with his colors. The Colonel's GAL
lantry has won him many friends among the
Conkling leaders, and if our brilliant Sena-
tor should be elected he will find it his
duty to give the Colonel the best mission in
his gift

Speaker Kerr Handsomely Vindicated.
We rejoice, both for Speaker Kerrs sake
and in behalf of political candor, that his
exoneration from charges of that perjured
wretch, Harvey, has been conveyed to the
public in SO noble and pleasing a manner.
and that justice has been done with the
added grace of courtesy. The conduct Of
the republican members of the committee
and the House on this occasion was high
toned and magnanimous. They not only
attested his innocence by their votes, but
stood up and bore cordial testimony to the
uprightness of his stainless character as at
tested by his whole public career. The vote
was unanimous that the accusations against
Mr. Kerr were groundless and that his high
part we have throughout considered the
charges against him incredible, as much SO
as similar charges would have been against
Charles Sumner or Silas Wright. We ex-
pected his vindication, but we did not an
ticipate this display of chivalry on the part
of his political opponents. We trust this
great mark of esteem and confidence may
solace him in his illness and contribute to
his recovery.
We would fain hope that this handsome
conduct of the republicans is the harbinger
OF a better spirit in our political contests.
The license of personal abuse and calumny
which deforms our party struggles is dis
grace to American civilization. It's reckless
venom and INSCRIPTIONS distortion of facts
disgust the better part of the public, and
arouse, in many cases, such sense of out
rage that people incline to discredit accusa-
tons when they are well founded. When
every party contest is a campaign Of atrocious
calumny from which the best and purest
characters do not escape knaves find shelter
and security behind SO great mass of un-
founded libels and the loathing incredulity
which they engender. We wish the good
example set by the republican congressman
in the case of Mr.. Kerr might be initiated by
both political parties in the strenuous Presi-
dental campaign that is now opening.
