TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1875.

All may be lovely, and sweet harmony may
prevail among the Radical clans, but one who,
like Governor Hartrantt, knows enough TO
know that be don't know everything, would
not think SO after reading the following from
the Philadelphia North American OF yesterday
mornipg: mir. Blaine's defeat was accom-
pshed by the union of all who opposed him,
and was purchased only ty their own equa!
sacrifice. He was overcome by concealed an
imosity, defeated by subtle bargaining, and
oorouered to help the aspirations Of ludlvld-
uas and carry forward the plans OF cabas. We
regret Mr.. Blaiue's defeat-quaihed as he was
bevond all his competitors Tor nomination.
We regret that it was at least partially caused
BY Pennsylvania where he was born; for
which he has labcred to which he looked tor
support, and where the controlling sentiment
was 10 his favor. Could that sentiment have
been represented and expressed as it should
have been-as it was intended to be-the dc
feat that saddens so many personal-so many
nolit;cal friepd:-int this and many States
would be supplauted by an exu',aton as ra'
tiona as sincere. The plans of some aud the
interests of others kept from Mr.. Blame the
support be would have received; and his fail
ure is attributable rather to the tears and
plots of few than to the blindness and un-

The agility by which the members OF the
Virginia Republican Association, OF Washing
ton, can jump from suoken ship is remarka
BILE. Now, that association, 10 august meeting
assembled, resolved, if in not so many Words
that son might forget his father and father
his SOD, but as the better of last chip never
forgets bis bone, so they would never forget
the bold letter graf Der; that the man who
used his position, as Speaker of the House, as
means to increase his wealth, must and should
be nominated at Cincinnati, in order that the
tongue of SANDER might be torn from the
throat of treason;" that like h oderick Dhu,
the solid rock should fly from its firm base
befor. they would allow Virginia to cast any
but Blaine vote, and that they would fight
till the last armed foe expired before their firm
resolve should be shaken; and yet, by the
miraculous agility referred to, they are now the
loudest OF Mr.. Hayes supporters, and are speak
ers and vice presidents and secretaries at
HAYES ratification meetings 10 Washington.

How different would it have been if Mr..
Blaine, "the graudest combination OF heart,
conscience and brains beneath the h4g." with
his spade for digging up the AndersonvilIe
graves in one hand and waving the bloody shirt
with the other, had been nominated? But OF
all sad words of tongue or peo the aaddrst is
it might have been, and naturally the Radicals
are squabbliug and quarreiling over, and at
tempting to shift the responsibility Of, the dire
event. The Philadelphia North American
says: "Aud now the New York. Republicans
are grooming over the lost opportunity to name
the next President of the United States. The
Commercial says that the delegation WOO no
glory at Cincinnati. 1t thinks that had the
delegation presented Evarts, Morgan OF
Wheeler for President all New England would
have united with it in the fual stampede.
Perhaps. But the New York delegation weut
to Cincinnati with its hands tied, and came
away without glory. Neither New York nor
Pennsylvania will be able to look back upon
that occasion with much pride.

There was large Radical ratification meet
ing in Washington last night. President
Grant and other prominent persons we're pres.
eut. Speeches were made by Gen. B. f.
Butler, ex Congressman Platt, of Vermont.
Virginia, aud others. Virginia was represented
among the vice presidents by Congressman
Slowel of Vermont and among the secreta
ries By Mr. Josiah Willard. 1t Was rather un
fortunate that the two first names 90 the list of
vice presidents were those of Senator Spencer,
of Alabama, and Clayton, of Arkansas, neither
of whom has reputation like that of Mrs.
Caesar. After adjournment the assembiage
called Oh MIR. Blaine, who made speech 10
response. indorsing the Cincinnati nominations.
BAYAaD AND THURMAN. The Philadelphia
Ledger, IN speaking OF the possible nominees
of the St. Louis Convention, says:
Some of the strong men Of the party who
usually contribute most of the funds TO carry
90 presidential campaign, but who are not
( own as talking politicians, put their heads
together this morning and agreed that COM
biuation something like this would be neces-
sary to checsmate the move at Clncnoatl:
For President, Thomas F. Bayard, Of Della
ware; for Vice President, Allen 6. Thurman,
of Ohio They say if Thurman is nominated
he can take Ohio from Hayes. As the gentle
men who are fixing up the slate are likely to
exercise powerful it invisible Influence at 81.
Louis, politicians who are trying to forecast re.
suits there would do we'll not to underrate its
importance. Neither of these Senators would
respond to the alleged demand for new men,
but it is admitted by ALL save hack politicians,
that it would be ticket hard to beat.
The late riots in Barbados were not caused
by any suffering among the people, bu: by
general impression among the negroes that the
lsod and property OF the planters would be d
vided among them with the Governors con-
sent. 1t was undoubtedly general, and the be-
lief is still very general that all,hc property has
been awarded to the negroes by the Queen at
the Governor instance, and is being wrong
fully withheld from them. Consequently, the
feeling against all the property owners is in
tensely bitter and hostile, and it will require
6rmuess and judgment on the part OF the au-
thorities to remove this impression, even if il
is removable during the present generation.
