THE Democrats expect to carry every
Southern State This will give them 1873
electoral votes, AZ less than majority of
the electoral college. 1t is not their design,
however, to carry any more Northern
States than will be required to give them
that majority. The reason for this is
plain. 1t is that in the division of the
spoils which would follow the event of
their success the leaders would be embar-
rassed by the demands of the Northern
Democrats and doughfaces if their victory
should happen to be due to Northern votes.
In other words, the Southern Democracy
intend to monopolize the patronage, aud
do not want any more Northern assist
ance than is barely necessary to place
them in power,

THE Southern Republican Association
seems to be earnestly at work. They have
appointed their standing committees for
the campaign, as well as several special
committees, and propose to take an active
part in the coming fight. They feel, per-
haps, greater interest than any other of the
Republicans of the country in this contest,
for they know that upon the success of the
Republican candidates depends the exist
ence of the Republican party in the South,
and not only the existence of the party,
but the lives Of thousands of their friends,
who, in the event of Democratic success,
would be ruthlessly slaughtered. These
facts make the Southern Republicans earn
est, and we hope to see their example fol
lowed by the associations from other States.

IT'S NOW CLAIMED that Mr. Blaine will
have three hundred votes on the first bal
lot at Cincinnati. There will be 754 dele
gates present, of which Senator Morton's
friends claim about $50 The remaining
s04 votes will be divided between Messrs.
Conkling, Hayes, Hartranft and Bristow.
This estimate of the situation as it will be
developed at the beginning of the conven-
ton seems 10 be fair one in the light Of
present information; but there is no telling
what will happen during the coming three
weeks. "Let him who thinketh he stand
"eth take heed lest he fall" 3"

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,

bly, go to the West, and vice versa. 1t b there
fore impossible to speculate intelligently in
relation to the Vice Presidential candidate
without making the location of the Presiden-
tial candidate the starting point of the discus
sion. Assuming that Mr.. Conkling will be
nominated for the higher office, there Is no diff
ficulty in forming judgment as to who is the
strongest Republican to run with him. 1t
should be Western man, of course !; and of
all Western men Gov. Hayes is the one who
would contribute most to the success
of the ticket. The two grand key po-
sitions of the campaign are New York
and Ohio. If the Republicans can carry
both of these States their triumph
is assured. For winning one Of these pivotal
States Senator Conkling is the strongest pos
sible candidate, and Governor Hayes is the
strongest possible candidate for winning the
other. Governor Hayes would carry Ohio
with just as much certainty running for the
Vice Presidency as he would If running for the
Presidency; but on the other hand, he would
have nothing like Mr.. Conkllng's chances for
carrying New York If he was assigned the first
place on the ticket. Joined together Conkling
and Hayes would assist either, like the two
blades of a pair of shears, and between them
into very small shreds. 1t will be more diff
cult task for the Republicans to carry New York
than Ohio, Ohio being at present Republican
and New York Democratic State. The En-
pire State is, in fact, the grand hinge on
which the Presidential election is to turn,
and If the Republicans are wise they will sub
ordinate all minor considerations to success in
New York. To achieve this Senator Conkling
is the man; but even he can rescue New York
from the Democrats only by strenuous effort,
which will be greatly aided by splendid pre-
liminary victory in Ohio in the October State
election. Governor Hayes, running for the
Vice Presidency, would insure them such
victory, and, by the ordinary effect of earlier
upon later elections, the Republican ship
could be fioated over the bar in New York by
the buoying force OF Senator Conkling, who
knows the State so well, and who is the
strongest and most popular man in the coun-
try with the New York Republicans. A ticket
inscribed "Conkling and Hayes" is the trump
card ofthe Republicans for this Presiden-
tial game.

UNDER our present form of government
in the District no power exists, outside OF
Congress, to provide means for proper
observance Of the coming Fourth of July,
In view of this fact, it is suggested that the
necessary funds be raised by private sub

made, the patriotic ex-Confederate House
may be induced to make small appropria-
tion to aid the project.

[From the New ] 0rk Herald.
With the strong likelihood that now exists
of the nomination of Senator Conkling for the
first place on the Cincinnati ticket the selec-
tion for Vice President becomes question of
interest, and is brought within the range Of
calculation. Until the first place is awarded
the second remains in doubt, because the
ticket must have geographical balance. If

Washington has been bounteously enter
tanned during the present week. No less than
seven festivals have been given and are being

tuted on Tuesday evening, under the auspices
of DR.. Sunderland's church, and will be held
three nights. ending this evening. On Tues
day evening the Joe jefferson Club gave to a
fine audience one of the most interesting and
brilliant performances ever given by the anna
teurs of any city. 1t was undoubtedly the
greatest triumph of that excellent club, and
that is saying much when we remember the
repeated successes of that literary association
within the past two years. With that superb
star, Mary Anderson, at the National theatre,
the Joe Jefferson entertainment at Ford's
opera house, "Gates Open" at Tallmadge
hall, and the six or seven festivals at the DIFF
ferent churches, Washington cannot complain
of scarcity and variety of amusements.

THE MILAN FLOODS WANT FAIR
PLAY.
And Want the Names of all Prairie
Chicken Shootists Published.

1t will be remembered that a short time
ago The ARGUS gave an account of several
young bIoods { p from Milan going to an
dalusia, as they said, with the intention OF
shooting prairie chickens. They were
found dancing with the frail chickens on
gun boat, or floating house of prostitution,
which was anchored lust below that vii
lage; and also of the arrest and trial of the
proprietor and girls on the boat, in which
the smart young men had to appear as wit
nesses. In that article it was thought that
the names of all the Milan boys were pub
lished, but it appears that three names
were withheld from the reporter who OBJ
tanned the information, and that these
three young men have been making consid-
cradle fun out of the affair by plagueing
their more unfortunate shootists who hap
pened to have their names in the paper
Besides this, the fair daughters of Milan
very properly refuse to recognize the pub
lished young men, while the others are
having it all their own way" Those who
have been published object to this and ask
that the whole party be named, and give
the following additional names; Geo. A.
Giles, Frank r. Kerr and ". Harry
Smith. This is nothing more than fair to
the young sports whose names were pub
lished in the first article-and the names
of the above would have been given then
if they could have been learned.
