The Republican state Campaign.

The New York republicans owe 1t to their
Presidential candidates to settle their local
quarrels and to unite on strong State
ticket. At present the leaders seem bent on
prosecuting their own intrigues at the risk
of the harmony of the party. Mr.. Roscoe
Conkling and his supporters were beaten at
Cincinnati and yielded with better grace
than might have been anticipated to the tri-
umph of Mr.. Wheeler, whose friends had
taken the leal in destroying the Senator'S
chances for nomination. The Wheeler
party were indirectly aided by, or rather
worked in conjunction with, Reuben E.
Fenton, Governor Morgan, George W. Cur
tbs and their several followers in their cru
sade against Mr. Conkling. The question
now is whether the war is to be carried on
after the Cincinnati capi,ulation, and
whether Mr. Conkling and his friends are to
be repelled in the State Convention as they
were in the National Convention. There are
propositions to nominate Edwin d. Morgan
for Governor and Reuben f.. Fenton for
Lieutenant Governor or Fenton for Cover
nor and Mr. Robertson, OF Westchester, for
the second place or Robertson for Cover
nor and Theodore N. Pomeroy for Lieuten-
ant Governor; or George W. Curtis for Gov
ernor but all of these are out and out anti
Conkling tickets, filled with the names of
the brilliant Senator's assassins. 1t is evil
dent that if the party is to be united in the
State no such nominations should be made,
especially as those who urge them are undis-
guised and inscriptions in their assaults
on republicans who are supposed to be
favored as candidates by Mr.. Conkling and
his friends. Mr.. Wheeler should not allow
his party to risk success in New York by a
policy of prescription against a large and
important section Of the organization. He
should insist upon the nomination of State
candidates not identified with any. faction;
for while an "anti-Custom House" cry is
always popular with politicians who happen
to be unprovided with public Offices no man
in his senses will argue that the republicans
can succeed in New York without the aid of
Senator Conkling and his friends.

Tho Indian War.

The report that the Lieutenant General.
the gallant "Little Phil" is about to take
command of the operations against the hos
tile Indians in person has not been verified
beyond the Generals own statement that he
is in daily communication with Terry and
has given Crook and Terry orders to Coop
crate. We confess to good deal of regret
that General Sheridan will not direct the
campaign from nearer point than Chicago.
General Crook seems to have determined on
moving against the Indians as soon as the
Fifth cavalry arrive, and has sent
word to Terry where to find him.
This would imply more sensibly planned
advance than the last, and may result in
that decisive blow" which General Crook has
promised to strike. II is our best desire that
it may be So With the forces now in the
field once united we would feel assured
that no overwhelming disaster like the
Custer massacre could overtake our arms ;
but we can hardly be so sure that that per-
feet defeat of the hostile Indians which is
so imperatively necessary for the future of
our frontier can be achieved. We still call
on the government to send forward more
troops. Undertaking the Indians and ex-
pectng miracles from our soldiers is not the
way to end this war satisfactorily or prevent
other wars hereafter.

The BELBNAP IMPEAcHMENT.-We may
soon hope to arrive at the end of this mis-
erable trial, the summing up having fairly
commenced. Yesterday Manager jerks, for
the prosecution, and Judge Black, for the
defence, made speeches. Mr.. jerks summed
up the offence tersely in stating that this
Secretary of War took money to influence his
official action that it did influence his action,
and he was therefore guilty. With such .
plain case before him it is not to be won.
dered that Judge Black in reply was weal
although he was witty. His reference to the
presents received by President Grant was a
strange resort to help his client. and will
hardly be received by republicans with
favor Instead of suggesting that Belknap'a
bribes were harmless presents Judge Blacl
makes strong case to show that Grants
presents were in effect bribes. If the point
of his argument is that everybody did it.
he makes but more emphatic the necessity
of stamping with the seal of condemnation
the system which, he argues, began with
presents in Grant and ended with bribes in
Belknap.

TILpEN's LETTER. 1t is now believed that
the letter Of Governor Tilden accepting the
nomination for the Presidency will be ready
about the 1st of October. There are good
reasons for this delay. The Governor must
give the subject mature reflection. He de-
sires to wait and see how the greenback men
behave in the West. He would like to wait
and have Congress adjourn. 1t is important
that he should know how Maine votes, and
in fact all about the canvass. The issues are

mont subscribes one hundred dollars. The
method of applying this fund and the other
funds that have been subscribed in various

of General Custer and his brave soldiers is
still matter of discussion. There is ample
time, however, to arrange that when
enough money has been subscribed to build
, monument worthy of the deed. Let this

that we cherish virtue and courage; that we

have, as it were, but one foot on Turkish
territory. Having failed to seize the strong
points in the pashalik of Novi Bazaar with n
rush, and having been stopped by Osman
Pacha ON the road to Sophia, they are re-
duced to the bitter experience of seeing their

The Proposed Impeachment of Roseson.

The Proposed Impeachment OF Ropeson.
The democrats must not make a blunder in
the proposal to impeach Secretary kobeson.
The evidence against him is of the gravest
character. 1t appears that as Secretary Of
the Navy he permitted friends like the Cat
tells to amass large sums of money at the
expense of the government To suppose
that he did not know of their transactions is
to suppose him to be fool, which no one
for moment will do. The inference has
been drawn that Mr.. Robson shared in this
spelling of the Treasury. We should rejoice
in his vindication, because the shame of an
officer SO high in the nations service is the
nations shame, and because the Secretary
has been the victim of what has seemed to
us to be bitterand unpausing persecution.
1t is his interest, if he is innocent, to have q
prompt inquiry, not before House commit
tee, but by the Senate. If he is guilty it is
the interest of the republican party to have
him tried and convicted. But there must
be no halfway position on the part of the
democrats. They must censure or impeach
Robeson or acquit him. To leave him in
neutral position, suspended between
heaven and earth, neither convicted
nor acquitted, but used as a
campaign weapon, would do the party and
the country harm. 1t would draw around
him the support of the republicans, who
would view it as political persecution. I'm
peachment is one Of the gravest duties of a
free government. 1t is solemn process Of
law. 1t should never be debased to mere
political ends If Mr.. Robeson has commit
ted crimes i'll his office all good men desire
his impeachment. Ii he has been accused
unjustly then all g Cd men desire his vim
dication. If the democrats adopt middle
course they will wrong not alone their party
but the public morality.

Where Are Tilden's Friendss

The World prints the list of speakers who
have been invited to the ratification meeting
to be held at Tammany Hall this evening.
There are thirty-six names, and among them
are men of eloquence and patriotism. But
the list is remarkable for the names which do
not appear.
When Hayes was nominated for the Presi-
dency his rivals in the Convention with one
accord hastened to congratulate him. When
the first mass meeting was held in Washing
ton they were present-many Of them
to support him. But if we except Mr..
Bayard not one of the democratic candidates
has made any sign OF sympathy for Mr..
Tilden. Governor Allen, of Ohio, announced
that he was going out Of politics We look
over the 'list of speakers" and We do not
see Thurman or General Hancock, or Parker
or Allen, or even Judge Church or Governor
Seymour. Wehave two or three men like Proc
tor Knott General Gordon and Senator Ker-
nan, whose counsels will always be heard by
the democracy. We have Luke Cozzens, Den
mis- Quinn, General Spinola and others whose
standing is purely local. Either Tammany
has mismanaged her opening demonstration
or this conspicuous absence Of names is dis
heartening to fervid democrats. Plainly, the
time has come for Mr.. Til6en to take COM
mand of his canvass.

Can England Whip Us on Our Own
Waters!

The race and fame won last week by Cor
nell are insignificant beside what is in store
for her within the next few weeks, and yet
she hesitates to clutch the greater prize.
Last evening there left this city for Philadel-
pha four tall, wiry young Englishmen.
among them the president of the greatest
boat club in the world, with the avowed pur-
pose of adding q third to the two defeats al
ready suffered by our countrymen at the
hands of English gentlemen oarsmen. They
intend rowing at Philadelphia any American
students who dare face them, and so tar the
only crew sure to go is that of Columbia.
While it is but right that our city should be
first to volunteer, and new proof of Colum-
bias pluck is thus ready, if any is needed,
it will be o source of keen and lasting regret
should we be beaten at our own door,
especially when we have material which
can win. 1t is rumored that Yale is
preparing. and if SO she will probably send
the fastest student four in America. While
Captain Ostrom and his men of Cor
nell will doubtless be slow to admit
the latter statement, they have not
yet disproved it, and now their chance
has come. Let the men who for the
past few days have, with bunting and
speech and bonfire, been lauding her to the
skies, now see to it that she takes step
which may at one bound make the reputa-
ton of young Cornell international, as last
year six spruce oars in less than seventeen
minutes made it national. They have
month-ample time--to get ready.
Fearon can, if need be, build them four
oar before Saturday night Ostrom
and Jarvis Lewis and Waterman can drive
her as can few men on this continent, and
from the way they talked last week some of
them are not unwilling to be at it. Let not
an hour be lost, but let every Cornell man
now work and do his best, and before the
month is out the renowned light blue of
Cambridge-of Cambridge who only this
spring taught Oxford how to row-may find
above it on its own flagstaff the other two
colors which fill our national ensign, the
white and red of Cornell.
