In chivalrous courage, eloquence, mag
netism, and all the qualities that make a
natural leader, James G. Blaine Is more ike
Henry Clay than any man OF our recent
history; and Ike Henry Clay, he falls OF
reaching the Presidency only by a hairs
breadth But our modern statesmen, taught
by the fate OF Clay, Webster and Calhoun,
and the rest, that republics as well as mon
arches are not apt to give the rule to their
greatest men, have learned to take their fall
ure 10 reach the Presidency with more phil
o<ophy than did the veterans OF the past,
who had aspirations for the glitteriug prize.
Clay and Calhoun never affected to conceal
their disgust at the ingratitude of republics,
rs d!splayed towards them in the elevation
over their heads of smaller men without ex-
peritnce or capacity In public affairs. And
Daniel Webster, when Taylor was nomin-
ated over him, did not hesitate TO declare
that cit was a nomination rot fit to be
made" Many OF his adherents, too, were
open-mouthed in denunciatlon of the NOM
nation. Old citizens OF Washington will
remember that on the night of June 18th,
1s4s, the wings held meeting IN front of the
City Hall 10 ratify the nomination OF Taylor
and Fillmore @reeches were made by
Thompson OF ILiiane, Duer OF New York,
Crtttenden of kentucky, and Haskell OF
Tennessee, and after the meeting was over q
procession was formed 10 stir up some of the
absent wings. Daniel Webster, who then
lived on LOUISIANA avenue, next to the Uni
tartan Church, was first called upon, but he
declined to show himself, or make any re-
sponse- The crowd then moved on to the
quarters OF George Ashmun, OF Massachu-
sets, ore OF Weoster's warmest partizans.
After protracted music by the band, inter
spered with an amount OF yelling from the
party sufficiCnt to raise the dead, Ashmun
appeared in his night shirt at an upper WIN
dow. "What do you want?'' he inquired in
no amisble tones. "We want TO elect old
lack" shouted the boys. "Well, then 1 ad-
wise you to go home and elect him" re-
sponded Ashmun, and down went the win
dow with a bang.
Very different from all this is the prompt
and graceful reception OF defeat by Mr..
Blaine, and his fellow Leaders in the repub-
lican party, Messrs- Morton and Conkling,
who see comparatively unknown man
selected before them.

What Is there wrong about the internal

For the second time In our political his
tory, "womsn's plank" has been inserted
In a party platform. Tue one embraced in
the Cincinnati platform is perhaps little
more satisfactory to the advocates OF equal
suffrage than that In the republican plat
form Of 1872, inasmuch as IL approves the
appointment OF women TO the superintend
ence OF education, charities, and other pub
lie trusts. II is the intention OF the advo-
Gates OF equal suffrage to also send a de,ega-
Hon 10 St Louis 10 wrestle with the demo-
Gratis and eDdeavor TO induce them to put a
still stronger plank in their platform. They
assert that their influence will be used for
the party who gives them and their cause
Tie fullest recognition.

The defeat OF Blaine at Cincinnati Is quite
generally attributed TO the laundering OF the
Blaine men In the Pennsylvania delegation.
They were outgeneraled by the Came
rociars, who, by getting some scattering
complimentary votes from Nevada, Georgia
And elsewhere for Hartranft, held the Blaine
men In the delegation up TO voting for Hart
rant until BlaiDe's forces, and the fence men
began TO scatter. II Vi the thirty Blaine
men In the delegation carried IL over under
the unit rule 70 Blaine early In the ballot
Ing, he would inevitably have been nomi-
mated.

The nomination OF Hayes at Cincinnati
compels the democrats TO look about them,
also, for an ''available'' Candidate. From
present appearances the great party leaders
VIII fare about as badly at ST. Louis as they
did al Cincinnati. Messrs. Tilden, Bayard,
Hendricks, Thurman, and the rest are
already under the shadow OF the Great Un-
known. Just now the dark phantom bears q
resemblance TO the soldierly figure OF Gen.
Winfield Scott Hancock, but II may develop
Into a shape much less familiar to the pub
lie eye than Hancock's In the coming week.
II Ii mysteriously limited In democratic cir
cles that a surprise Is In store for those who
IRE straining their eyes todiscover the uomi-
nee at ST. Louis.

And now Il is the turn OF the partiZans OF
The various democratic candidates to figure
out their favorites "a ahead. Thus the New
York EIprssS, Tammany organ, holly denies
the claim by a Tllden paper that Tilden will
open the ball al st. Louis with 163 4 votes OF
the requisite 2i5 votes. The Express asserts,
os the other hand, that Hendricks will lead
OF with 149 votes; Tllten having secured but
10. This is but the beginning of the game
OF brag on the various candidates, quite

A Bold Theft.

About s O'Clock last evening a thief
snatched an overcoat valued at S35
from a hook in front of Polack's cloth
ing store, in THE LEADER building.
Mr.. Polack witnessed the act and at
once rushed out and gave chase. pur-
suing the rascal into an alley in the
rear of the block, where he lost track
of him, and after thoroughly searching
the alley, returned. His clerk then
began a hunt for the thief, but was
also unsuccessful. He succeeded, how
ever, in finding the coat in a wagon
which stands in the alley. The trick
was a bold one, and our people should
be on their guard against these scoun-
drels, several of whom infest u city.
A thorough ventilation of mi or two
of them with buckshot would have a
good effect. .
