The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1876-06-12

A dispatch to editors which came
over the wires yesterday afternoon.
brought the intelligence that James G.
Blaine was rendered unconscious by
sunstroke yesterday at Washington.
This is serious and much to be re.
GREETED occurrence at this juncture.
The National Republican Convention
meets at Cincinnati next Wednesday,
aud the physical condition of Mr.
Blaine may determine the question of
his nomination. That be is one of the
greatest of politicians the events of
the last week have proved beyond
doubt. In the face of convincing evil
dence of his completely in railroad
schemes while Speaker of the House,
he confronted his accusers, and by his
audacity turned defeat for the time into
victory. 1t is to be hoped that he
will fully recover from the effects of
this sunstroke before the meeting of
the convention, and that it will in no
manner interfere with his chances of
being the nominee of his party for
President. We believe that the people
of the United States are not prepared
to endorse the course of Mr.. Blaine
while in Congress. In the present
temper of the public mind, honesty of
the man will have as much to do with
his election as party principles, and
smirched, as Blaine is so far shown to
be, his election to the high Office to
which he aspires is almost an i'm
possibility. Aside from these consid-
erations, however, we hope he will be
fully restored to health, and that his
illness will in no manner interfere With
his chances of being nominated or
elected.

centering ON T. b. Pomeroy, of New
York, for temporary Chairman and
Gen. j. M. Harlan, of Kentucky, for
PERMANENT Chairman. Wisconsin del
egates arrived last night They are
solid for Blaine. A St. Louis special
says the colored delegates to Cincinnati
passed through last night en- route for
that place. They are enthusiastic for
Blaine. Kansas delegates are also for
Blaine, bat will move cautiously. OF
the Missouri delegates Is are for
Blaine, IL for Morton, for Bristow
and and for Conkling.
Schurz for Bristow.
An interview with Hon. Carl Schurz
is published to day, in which he gives
the opinion that the Independents are
in favor of Bristow. Personally he
considers him the strongest candidate
that can be nominated. Bristow would
secure the Independent vote and the
German vote also.
Blaine Unconscious.
New YORK, June IL. 1876.
Blaine was rendered unconscious by
sun stroke at Washington to-day.
The Chinese Question.
WASHINGTON, June II, 1876
The question of Chinese immigra-
ton which has been brought to the
notice of the Administration through
the representations of delegations of
the Pacific Coast appointed for that
purpose, was referred some days since
to the Attorney General for an opinion.
Judge Taft is preparing an opinion on
on the subject, which will shortly be
submitted to the Cabinet He does
not see how the General Government
can interfere to prevent the landing on
our shores Of better-class of Chinese
any more than they can prevent the
immigration of persons from any other
nation. Such q course would be in
opposition to the well established
policy of this country of extending a
welcome to all immigrants.

Prospects Of Candidates.
The Herald discussing the Ciaein-
natl Convention prospects. considers
the strongest Republican ticket that
can be made up from candidates who
will be prominent in the earlier ballot
ings, is Oonkling and Hayes. Conk-
ling is the only man that could carry
New York, unless Washburne should
come into the field. A Cincin-
natl special says numerous candidates
for Vice. President have arrived. in
ending McCrary. of Iowa; Alcorn, of
Mississippi; ingalls,, of Arkansas;
Hayes, of Ohio; Wheeler, of New York.
and Morgan.
Morgan seems to be fairly in the
field for Vice. President, and it 10 un-
derstood he would serve either with
Bristow or Washburne. Fred Douglass
favors Conkling. is sure that the col
ored delegates will support him solid,
vixen the issue comes.
A Times-Cincinnati special says one
of the delegates from Illinois says they
viii on the first ballot give Blaine the
AZ votes of the State, bat nothing more.
. On the second ballot. it will be SO for
Hayes and SIX for Morton. Ohio is
10 said to be enthusiastic for Hayes.

as tending to lead men into
the church. When Christians can co.
operate as Christians, with outside orders,
and at the same time work mainly in the
church, the object to be obtained would
prompt US to both courses; but when this
can not be done, or where one is to
choose between the two, no one can
doubt which caurse to be pursued. All
Temperance Societies and conventions
are only so many imperfect and wholly
inadequate substitutes for church labor;
and they grew out Of dereliction on the
part of the church. What is needed to
overthrow or diminish intemperance2
Human appliances are vain unaided by
Divine power. We need men and wo-
men, full OF faith and full of the Holy
Ghost" going forth. not in their own
strength, but depending on Divine pow
er, with prayerful hearts and warm SYM
pathies. Nothing short will stay the tide
of the evil, in any respect, and where are
these to be found but in the
church Of the living God? What does
the drunkard need? What does the
tempted need? They need Christian
sympathy and the Dioine help. They
need the influences of the church. A
mere moralist may do some good, but the
Christian, as the fully competent man tor
the work of reform. Every church should
be temperance orgination, working for
the reform and salvation of the fallen.
