NOMINATION OF LUCIUs ROBINSON
Our State Ticket is now complete
and the Convention that met ut Sara
toga on Wednesday put a name at the
head that will insure success in No
vember. Lucius Robinson for COVER
nor means strength and victory. The
Democrats are jubilant, and the Re-
publicans says nothing. That Is, they
say nothing now, but on the day of the
nomination when they were taken by
surprise, their leaders indulged in
words of wonder at the good selection,
and were amazed that the best should
have been chosen by their opponents.
ThurlOw Weed was unable to contain
himself, and made his disappointment
apparent to the representatives OF the
daily papers who called to obtain his
views on the result. The old man Is RI
&c ting infrm, and when crossed upon
any subject that he is interested be-
comes garrulous and ill-temPered. He
is troubled a great deal about that
little present of a silver sugar bowl
which he sent to Tweeds daughter on
the occasion of her marriage.
He eonnOt bear to hear it mentioned,
and grows quite enraged if this visit TO
the Tweeds mansion is alluded to.
The ill-temper of the Republicans will
do us more good than otherwise, for
the people are beginning to look.with
favor upon anything that they NAV
express a dislike to. Mr.. Robinson is
a Democrat, and so far above reproach
that the opposition have been twice iu-
strumental in placing him in office.
His record as a reformer will gain him
many friends, and his course in assis-
ting in the warfare inaugurated by
Samuel J. Tilden against the canal
Ring, has already stamped him as
worthy of the support of all honest
men.
sCHURz AND ERIsTOv.
The advocate of the Cival Service
Reform in the Republican party are
not now having the best Of treatment
from the managers of the campaign.
1t was whispered about the political
circles, that BritsOw have been reques-
ted to retire from the stump, and it Is
a well-known fact that Schurz was
outrageOusly snubbed by Chandler for
telling the truth about Administration
abuses.
The Washington Republican, Grants
organ, has charged him with direct
falsehOOd and advises him to quit speak
ing unless he can talk upon some other
matter. Schurz, however; he has that
subject at heart and cannot be driven
: from the stump. This think is we'll
because the people now look upon
Hayes as a candidate Of the Admin
stration, rather than of the Republic
can party, and every word he utters
against Grant and his followers adds
? to the Democratic cause.
CHAMBERLAIN AND HAMBURG
!, notice BY this mornings papers
5 that the Republican Convention Of
: South Carolina have nominated Cham
= berlain for Governor, and endorsed the
Administration of President Grant.
This was evidently done al the COM
mand Of Chandler, and in the graf
q itute for the thousand or more Ofmus-
{ kets that were sent to the State by
that willful Senator. | notice also
; that the Hamburg business Is not to
I be brought before the courts, nOtwith-
standing the demand of Col. Butler
and others for a speedy trial. .r
n The following from correspondent
I of the S,pr, in Charleston gives sufii-
n Gent reason for the unwillingness on
IT the part of the party in power to press
these charges. He says: $3.50
eff the monstrnus charges which
we're originally made could have been
: poven in Court. does anybody believe
i that on the eve of Presidential eject
a ton after the part it had already been
y made to play in the canvass, this case
II would have been put of for four months.
: The alleged witnesse are all living in
Hamburg. The Court, the Jury, the
n Sheriff, and all the agents Of law, arc
"A exclusively in the hands Of the RePub-
: licans, and the most of them are blacks
s But in spite of this formidable array
I. of power against the accused. Chant
y berlain and his crew come before the
" preseuce of truth and retreat from 1
prosecution, which they inci:ed with
