The Contest at Cincinnati.

The seventh National Convention OF the
Republican party, which organizes at Gin
cinnati to-day, promises to be the most ex-
citing National Convention in the compar-
atively short annals OF that party. which
twsnty-one years ago, at Pittsburgh,
was brought into being. In 1855 the
slavery issue was the dominant one,
and the Kansas excitement was stir
ting both the North and the South
TO the depths. When, the next year, the
formal convention for the nomination OF
It's Presidential candidate was held at Phil
sdelphia, FREMONT, the Path Finder"
was nominated on the first ballot. During
this canvass the Republican party, though
besten at the end, demonstrated its
strength and p wed the way to the victory
vhloh its candidates, LINCOLN and HANLIN,
nominated at Chicago, in May, 1860, won
after bitter Tight. In June. 1861, LINCOLN
was renominated at Baltimore, on the
nrst ballot, and with civil war waging, was
triumphantly carried into the White
House.
Thereafter there was no doubt or divi-
sion as TO the candidate. At Chicago, in
As6S, GRANT the successful soldier of the
war, was unanimously nominated. Though
the evils of Grantism had already been
mado apparent, yet SO well drilled were
the Republican delegates at Philadelp hia
In 1872 that GRANT was there unanimously
renominated amid the theatrical effects
arranged by his henchmen. How dire
have been the results OF the success of
GRANr In that election everybody knows
For fifteen years the Republican party
has been in power. During that time it
has intreuched itself behind the spoils OF
ofiioe ana gathered to its defence au army
Of 10000 one'holders, who control its ma
ehinery ana night for their places in fight
Ing for the continuance in power of their
corrupt party. Since the nomination OF
LINCOLN al Chicago in ls00, there has prao-
ideally been no doubt rs to who the nomi
neeshould be. II was easy to forecast the
inevitable denomination OF LINCOLN and
HE nomination and denomination Of
GRANT.
AT Cincinnati, however the doubt which
snconpassel the deliberations at Chicago
In 1860 again occurs, and whereas AT the
latter SEWARD alone was the ONLY great
opponent of LINCoLN, four leading candi-
sates at least JON IN bitter nsAt at Cin-
cinnatl for the honor OF the nomination.
BLAINE CoNKLlNG, MoRroN ana BRIsrow
are pitched against each other, their parti-
sans each ishtlng the opposing candidates
win fierce determination. So violent is
th,s contest that IL is unsafe to hazard an
opihloh MS to the result. BLAINE's friends

Those wives Of lager beer drinkers who
celebrate the prowess OF their husbands In
slowing away from twenty to sixty gtasses Of
lager dav, are doubtless faithful spouses; but
we cannot call them wise ones. One wife tells
how her lord swills down nfty or sixty glasses q
day, Including schooners- thrice the or
dinsry glass-and when after his days labor 10
accomplishing this feat, he gets home, they
together drink two or three quarts more, and
yet he Is as sober as jude. The mat who
does that may be loving husband, but he Is
prudent neither a. to his he 18th nor as to his
money. His sixty layers cost him three dollars
day, besides what he drinks at houe. And,
leaving his pocket out OF the account, no man
can get rid OF four or ave gallons of lager q day
snd keep In first class or even second class trim
His inordinate thirst will fetch him some day;
and yet we are no enemy Of lager.

Exactly Right.

II seems that, notwithstanding all that
has been revealed and proved respecting
Mr. BLAINE, n large proportion Of the dele
gates in the Republican National CONVENE
ton are still zealously devoted to him, and
wish TO make him the Republican candi-
date for President Some reports say that
the number of such delegates is over three
hundred; others that 1t is about two hun
dred and seventy five; but all agree in
sfirming that their array is very much
larger than either Mr. CoNKLINo, Mr.. NOR
TOM Mr. BRrsrow, or any other candidate
can boast OF.
There is such logical propriety, such a
fitness Of things in this fact, that 1t seems
almost providential.
The Republican party is radically, thor
oughly, hopelessly corrupt, and Mr.
BLAINE Is Just the same as the party. II
has no moral sense, and he has no moral
sense. In spite of his protestations and
his stage effects, in spite OF his stealing the
MULLIoAN letters and garbling them In
the reading, II Is perfectly established that,
while he was member Of Congress aud
Speaker Of the House, he was jobber In
legislation, making money by gun con-
tracts obtained through his official infu-
ence, and q broPer in railroad bonds and
stocks, whose value was created by the
legislation which he so largely influenced
and controlled. A more thoroughly cor
rupt man was never in any broken-do wn
party or among any depraved and decay
ing people.
At any other time IN our history Il
would have been impossible for any man
DO drenched in jobbery as BLAINE is, to
have been even mentioned as a candidate
for President; aud never before WINS there
any party that could be compared with the
Republican party in its present condition,
except the Tammany party in New York
city, In the days when TWEED and Con-
holly bore rule and stole their millions.
1t is well that in this Republican Nation
nj Convention such a candidate as BLAINE
should be more powerful than any other,
having more delegates bent on nominating
him for President. We believe he is
doomed to be disappointed, because we
have not yet sunk so low that any national
convention can be given over to such utter
insanity as to nominate such n man; but
Il Is rather pity. The Republican party
and JAMES G. BLAINE are perfectly suited
20 each other. They are similar in their
lives, and in their downfall they ought not
90 be divided.

Mr.. Blalne,s Condition.

Mr.. BLAISEs friends and supporters at
Cincinnati are aSiduously at work, at
tempting to make it appear that their
chiefs illness is a small affair, from which
he will soon get up; that in a few days he
will be on his pins again a. vigorous man
as ever.
We trust that Mr.. BLAINE will recover
from the attack that so completely pros
trated him. But Is 1t reasonable to expect
his early restoration TO full healthi Was
his fail into uncousciousness ut the church
door a slight matteri No one who knows
anything about such attacks as that which
overcame Mr.. BLAINE will venture 10 an
swer yes to these questions. He Is very
sick man. and only at great hazard can he
undertake to resume the habits Of well
man or even a convalescent one at an early
day. His physicians may publish hopeful
bulletins OF his prospective health, but
none of them risk the opinion OF his i'm
mediate and full restoration. Though,
considering the exigencies of the political
situation, they may use their best efforts
TO get their patient INTO condition to rise
and sit up, yet they will not dare permit
him 10 use his brain for its normal work
for weeks to come. They know the danger
of that.
In the first place, he suffered from
the Washington malaria, and under its
depressing effects he fought the trying
battles in the committee room aud on the
floor of the House, In which he made des-
perate efforts TO restore his waning chances
at Cincinnati. and even to save from total
wreck his lettering reputation. He was
for weeks kept at the highest mental ten
sion, under circumstances most injurious
TO him, and with the enfeeblement Of his
physical and intellectual power due to q
tating climate. His usual sleep was broken
In upon, AMI his usual anxieties were ten
fold increased. He was kept in continual
excitement Washington drawing off one
stream of his vitality and Cincinnati an
other. When, therefore, he fell at the
church door he succumbed, not merely to
the power OF the scorching sun, but to all
these other things together. But II we
should take the sun-stroke as the sole cause
Of his illness, even that Is an inflction which
Is apt to leave n lifelong mark on an ac-
tive brain, uniting 1t for the strain Of
similar trying circumstances.
We trust that Mr.. BLAINE will be re-
stored to his normal physical and intel
lectual health, but the man is sanguine
who declares that that result is certain or
that it will be speedily attained. For some
time 10 come Mr.. BLAINE must be ut least
counted an invalid.

WAsHINGToN, June 13.-The real estate
pool inquiry stil shoulders IN the committee
room where Halleu Kilbourn's unimportant
testimony Is kept. One OF the pool was Pierce
NJ. d. Young, a member OF Congress for eight
years from Georgia. Having had bis reputation
dragged into the Investigation, he appeared to-
day and requested that he should be examined
His testimony was In enoct thu some years ago,
when his particular friend, W. &. Huntington,
Cashier OF the First National Bank was alive he
had a little money lying idle, and was urged by
Huntington TO let him invest II In real estate
Having confidence In Mr.. nuntinstons jude-
rested until the death Of Mr.. Huntington, which
occurred not long thereafter. when he went to
the bank to KNOW what hal become OF his
money. he was Informed that II had been turned
over to kilDourn Lntta for investments
and by that firm he was Informed that 1t had
directed by Mr.. Huntington. As he had never
been advised OF the fret purchase, II struck him
as being a queer business TRANSACTION and ha
declined to continue To do business IN that way
Mr. Young says ne was not aware OF the exist
ence OF any association or pool, and he had not
only not been benefited by his Investment, but
also bad lost three years interest on $500 sell
Ing out for just the sum he intrusted to Hunt
lngton. lie asked kilbourn 4 Latta 10 pay him
the interest, but they declined. Mr. Young fur
ther said that he did not know the nrst Thing
about the pool, nor did he know that the pur-
chased PROPERTY was located where the board
OF Public Works was going to make Important
improvements; nor was he ever appealed to
OF the District Of Columbia.
The committee Informed Mr. Young that they
had no charges to IN Ike AGAINST him, and thai
mony OF similar character. The committee
however, Is more than ever impressed with the
belief that the refusal ~ Kiibourn 20 produce
his books WAS not In defence of principle, but
TO concea. the profits of their pool traiisuctinn
from the parties whose money was intrusted to
them. None were more deeply interested III an

The Anti-Cathoiic Movement at Gin
cinnati.

The power and success OF the anti Cath
Ollie movement necessarily depend In O
great degree upon its secrecy; yet IL cam
not be conducted with such privacy as to
prevent all manifestation of its existence.
The first distinct appearance OF this i'm
portant movement in the Republican Ma
tional Convention is reported in letter
from Cincinnati in the Nelc York Times OF
yesterday:
cit 10 discovered day that the an'iCathoc scnti.
ment cultivated among dlegatcs ia BLAfSE's behalf
secret society mciude- from eve to seven thousand
Democrats VINO will vote for BLAINE, snd for NOBODY
tain hundred tho u,nd voter. bound to BLAINE Sy tne
same tie. This argument used IN the most secret aud
good"
IT Is very likely that there is exaggera-
ton IN these statements, as there Is very
apt TO be in arguments used to influence
delegates IN political conventions; yet
there can be no doubt that there Is such an
organization as is described by the writer
in the Times and 1t is even more certain
that the sentiment from which this organ
ization proceeds Is very potent among
thousands OF voters who have not attached
themselves TO any such society.
The full strength OF the anti-Catholic
movement will he exerted in behalf Of the
Republican candidates; but by reason OF
this very secrecy which the writer in the
Times objects to, It will not be possible to
know absolutely how great that strength
Ii, until after the election.

1t is announced that the South Carolina
delegation In Cincinnati will cast their votes for

LAIN, who Will vote for DRIsTow. 1t is fair to
presume, however, that CHAhBERLAIs will
eventually be found voting for whatsoev-
or candidate seems to have the best pros
pect for getting the nomination. 1t Is
well known 10 South Carolina that his
friends expect to get him nominated for
Vice President, aud his asserted Partially for
BRIsTow Is probably bid for the favor OF re-
formers. CHAMBERLAIS, as Attorney G en- eral
OF South Carolina under Gov. SCoTT and as a
member OF the notorious Financial Board,
which created the enormous fraudulent debt
OF that State, has one Of tho worst records OF
any OF the carpet baggers who have plundered
the South; while his later career as a proiessed
reformer has been one Of transparent false pre-
fences AS BRIsTow's chances are evidently
dwindling to nothing, however, perhaps II
would he good Idea for the Republicans TO run
BLAINE and CHAMBERLAIN as the reform can
didates OF the party. The ticket would be
symmetrical one, and the thorough overhaul
ing Of both their records which would follow
would Insure a very lively anu exciting canvass.
