POLITICAL D0UGHFACEs.

There are at present, as there have been
in the past certain men who. to further their
schemes of aggrandIzement have been sue
cessively but not successfully, trying to Glitch
the ear Of the masses by hypocritical cries
of reform" Foremost amongst this class
are Shurz, Watterson, Murat Hslstead
and the graceless renegade Governor Of
South Carolina. "Show me a constant
prater for REFORM" said N. Turgot, the
wisest of financiers, land I will show you
thief" These and other Adventures
who have availed themselves of surround
ing circumstances to obtain "reform" no
toriety have apparently been acting on the
hypothesis that the Republican party had
fulfilled its mission, and that the masses
were on the eve of deserving its fortunes.
Never was greater mistake made. The
party is as strong to-day as in 1872, when
it administered that memorable rebuke to
imbeciles and imposters. The adoption of
the policy of these charlatans, and placing
in nomination for President some man who
does not represent all the principles and
lofty ideas of the party, would be the
surest way to merit and receive defeat.
When the party so far sacrifices its honor
as to place in nomination an expediency
man, one who is unobjectionable to South
ern Ku Klux and Northern Doughfaces,
then will the bone and sinew of the party,
its original founders, stay away from the
polls, and Democratic triumph will be the
natural result. Let those SO apprehensive
for the success Of the party that they
would fain entrust it to the keeping
of time.server at once 60 over to
those whose wishes they so much
respect. They are an incubus upon our
body polite, and their room is far prefer
able to their company. A Republican
candidate for the Presidency who caters to
Democratic ecl0t and toadIes for Liberal
support is not to be trusted. The time for
closing up the party ranks has arrived.
The Republican party must complete its
work, which is nothing less than the re-
generation Of the nation according to the
terms Of the great declaration--to main
tain the Republic in its unity and'the peo-
pie in their rights; such is its transcendant
duty. Traitors and thieves are expected
to oppose these grand designs, but the
utter futility of their efforts will again be
demonstrated on the eth of November

THE CENTENNIAL.

The opening scenes of the Centennial
Exposition are described elsewhere. 1t
seems that the arrangements were not COM
plete; but the Inauguration of the Great
Show was an impressive demonstration.
In the presence Of royalty and Republican
simplicity, of the representatives of all the
foremost and many of the minor nations of
the earth, and of the accredited industry,
skill, art and science Of the globe, it was
begun. 1t is an event of historic impor-
lance not only as q political Celebration
the hundredth anniversary of the birth of
republican government in the New World
but as the first exhibition Of an instruc-
Gonsl and cosmopolitan character ever at
tempted on this side of thu: ocean. Purely
state or national exhibitions have been fire.
quent but this is the fourth international
one, the first being the Worlds Fair in
London in 1851, the second the French
Exposition in 1855, and the third the vi
emma Exposition three years ago. But our
readers are familiar with these facts, and it
only remains, as a matter of interest to
them, to suggest that the tributes ofrespect to
our nationality-the youngest on the foot
stool-should serve as an admonition to
cherish patriotic love of country and to
increase our natural national pride. The
long strides of advancement that we have
made since this continent was no more nor
less than ahowling wilderness have placed
us as people in the front rank of civil
ization. In the arts, sciences, literature,
manufactures, and particularly in inven-
tions, we are almost without competition.
Even in our youth we show the strength
and yigor of manhood, and this comparison
of our resources with older nations will
prove that our complete ascendancy is not a
matter Of the far distant future. Above all
things, this occasion should be made useful
as an incenti7et to personal as well as national

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The responsibility which will devolye
upon the delegates to the Cincinnati Con-
yention is by no means insignificant.
When that dignifed body assemblies ques-
tons of the greatest importance will be pre-
scented for their elaboration. Fresh from
the people, who are grateful. to President
Grant for the unprecedented prosperity
which the country has achieved, they will
be 10th to turn the nation over into new
and untrled hands The old maxim which
says: cit is good to leave well enough
slone," will have peculiar influence upon
thoughtful minds at Cincinnati. President
Grant is not, and never has been, candi-
ciating the illustrious services he rem
dered in rescuiDg the nation from for
midable rebellion, the people, with almost
one accord, elevated him to the highest
office in their gift, and so well has he adj
ministered the affairs of the Government
that they will look with jealous eye upon
the man whom Cincinnati selects as his
successor. The masses have been unmoved
by the multiplicity of lies which partisan
press and corrupt Democratic politicians
have raised against him. They know that
the man who turned over his army at
the close of the war so poor that
he scarcely knew where to lay his head
is not the person to be guilty of the pecu-
lations of which he has been charged by
the Detective Press; and if by any mishap
tho nominee nf tho Cincinnati convention
should be defeated, woe unto the politi-
clans who may be responsible. But let re-
sponsibility rest where it belongs; upon the
broad shoulders of the delegates to Cincln-
matt, and when they think they have found
the man who eau carry such States as
New York, North Carolina and Virginia,
let them proceed to place him in nomina-
ton, remembering that success is virtue,
but defeat is crime"

THE war cloud again thickens over ''the
sick man" of the East. The iron clads OF
Europe are Fastening to Salonica. Bis
msrcI, Andrassy and Gortchakof are
about to confer. The result of their con-
ference will be the protection of Christians
of all denominations in Turkey. 1t will
be attained peacefully if the Turks so will
it; by a sanguinary war if necessary.
The controversy about a Greek girl,
claimed as a convert to Mohammedism,
ending in outrages upon and murders Of
foreign consuls by the Turks, has pre-
cipitated the crisis which is to be of such
momentous results.

ACCORDING to current report, the Lib
eral Republicans, at their meeting in New
York last Monday, agreed to support either
Tilden, Thurman or Bayard, if the Repub-
lIcans nominate either Morton or Conk-
ling at Cincinnati. Their ticket, it seems,
is either Bristow or Hayes, and if their
demands are not acceded to they threaten
to bolt. Well, let them bolt. When they
60, their loss will be more than compen-
stated for by the increased enthusiasm
among the substantial voters of the party
in supporting some out-and-out and un-
compromising Republican.

PUBLIC OPINION, as illustrated by the

In spite of the refusal of the Virginia Legis.
lsture to make Centennial appropriation
many enterprising citizens of that State will
be represented at the great Exposition.
Yesterday was the greatest one that Phila-
delphia ever saw. About two hundred thou
sand strangers were quartered within her
limits. The old Quaker town was one seeth-
ing, restless mass of excited and delighted
humanity, and it is said that they drained six
thousand casks OF lager beer.
Congressman Tarbox says that he will be
too much occupied in Washington to attend
the Cincinnati Convention as delegate. He
thinks he has had his full share of service and
more than his rightful amount of honors.
When he tussled with Blaine's financial speech
he covered himself with so much honor that
he has not been seen since.
On the 10th instant the formal opening of
the new CoMier-JouRaI building win take
place, at which time the beautiful marble
statue of George D. Prentice will be unveiled
with imposing ceremonies. The new Journal
building is one of the most elegant newspaper
buildings in the world, and will be magnif-
cent ornament to Louisville.
History can not point to sample of fend-
ishness such as that found in the person ofthe
