Political Notes.

-ie-terday was day of triumph for Blaine
Republican conventions met in six different
States, and, in effect, he swept every one Of
them. Kansas, Nebraska. MINES Jta, Ms, ouri
aud Illinois seem 10 have gone for him, ,notwith-
standing the fact that formal pledges were not
made, and although New Hampshire failed TO
instruct in his favor, seven out of her ten dele
gates are in his interest. His friends are jubi-
liant, and the prospects now are that he will re-
ceiye the nomination at Cincinnati. h is clear
that there is a strong undercurrent Of secti-
meut in his favor throughout the Republican
party, and that it has been guided and control
led with rare political skill The many rumors
sat afloat touching his personal honesty. and
the investigations set on foot by his political
rivals, have not hurt him in the slightest degree
with his party. On the contrary, they appear
TO have advanced his cause. making him popu-
lar on account Of the persecution Of which he
seemed to the object.
Mr.. Blaine's friends at Washington say
that Of the 700 delegates thus far elected 209
supposed on the first ballot TO be for Blsine,
l12 for Morton, 81 for Conkling, 20 for Bristow,
IS for Hsrtranft, n for Hayes, and 46 unknown.

him $50 votes on the first ballot, which lacks

Decoration Day.

II is a matter OF congratulajion that Dec
oratlCn Day or Memorial Day has come TO
be generally recognized and observed. II
would be an act of the bssest ingratituds
TO forget the men whose patriotism, self
denial aud sacrifice saved the Republic
and the blessings which we as q nation en-
JOY. The government ''of the people by
the people. and for the people" which our
fathers transmitted to Us was a priceless
legacy. Its preservation by the patriotism,
valor and sacrifice of hundreds of thou
sands OF men of our generation, should
make it yet more sacred. and they justly
merit every tribute we can offer. To-day
hundreds. in words of eloquence. will do
homage to the nations dead-the saviors
of fatherland. Hundreds of thousands will
show their regard for the nations dead by
participating il. the imposing and sugges-
tive services TO which the day is set apart
Hundreds of thousands will shed the silent
tear above the graves of those who are re-
garded as the martyrs to great and just
cause. 1t is well thus to do. We can never
repay the debt we owe the men who for
feited life for national existence and uni
yersal freedom. The heroic dead, the MEM
ory of whom we refresh to-day, have just
ly earned the largest praise which living
men can give.
But our homage will be but bitter mock
ery if it is all to end with the public SER
vices of this day-with eloquent words of
tribute and the strewing of the graves of
the dead with flowers which will be with
cred tomorrow. Our highest homage
must he rendered in deeds. We can best
show our appreciation of their faithful and
unselfish service by striving to make the |
state they saved worthy of their martyr
,on. and the people to which it was be-
,neathed worthy of the great sacrifice.
To save the country from another civil |
