HOME RIFLE.

The wonder is not tnat the Republican
party should adopt the Democratic poll
cy of alone Rule" for the Southern
States at this late day, but rather that
there WAS not found enough of wisdom
and craftsmanship in that party to adopt
that policy immediately after the close of
the war. Had LINCOLN lived he un-
doubtedly would have attempted it, as
JOHNSON did after his death. Such q
policy, adopted at that time, would have
given the South to the Republican party;
but the party at large was blind, as it WAS
in West Virginia. A course of
humanity instead of brutality;
policy of statesmanlike concilla-
Iion instead of malignant perse-
cutlon; kindly taking by the hand and
lifting up in place of crushing down and
robbIng; trustful confidence in the in
telligence and worth of the various COM
munities instead OF their prescription
and the elevation over them of ignor-
ance and dlshonesty-thst would have
won the hearts of the noble and generous
Southrons, and the Republican party
would have had lease OF power for
a centnrv to come. The Democratic
party ruled the nation almost uninter-
ruptedly for three-quarters of century,
and was only driven from power by its
own follies. After the close of the war,
had the Republican party at once be-
come a national party in It's best and
broadest sense, it would have been i'm
pregpable. AS it is, its fate in the cOun-
try at large will be the fate 1t has cxpe-
rienced in West Virginia.

Comments of the Press on the RO
chesIer COnVeniiOn.

CHICAGO, September 27.-The New
York morning papers, generally, com
ment extensively on the Rochester Con
ventlon. The SIN praises Conkling for
his great victory, ard says it cannot be
said that Conkling was controlled by n
convention of office holders and parasites
They were staunch old time Republic
ans, the back bone of the party since It's
foundation, without whom it could not
retain even show of existence.
The Times says there was great deal
too much of Conkling yesterday, and
denounces Platt. Conkling, the platform
and the convention itself. The Repub-
llcsn campaign begun under such au-
spices, is bereft in advance of is most
effective weapons, brought to level with
the schemers who head the Democratic
cohorts of ignorance, superstition and
vice. Ii successful il will be due TO the
honesty and aggressive energy in the
ranks, end not to the ability or political
tact of the party leaders.
The World ridicules the convention ss
muddled in its proceedings. The result
of its platform is hybrid as regards the
endorsement of the President. Conkllng
has made good his claim to the leader
ship, but the leadership is worthless to
him and TO the party. The only aggres,
sive things done were aimed against the
President and not against the Democrats
The Herald thinks Conkling made "a
great mistake and takes similar view
with the Times and Tribune.
The Tribune says that COnkling has
made the gathering hostile, fierce and
contemptuous demonstration against the
President, aggravated in every possible
manner with studied insults, made 50
malignant that all the friends OF
the administration must resent them
Platt, the president, is the man whom
Conkling wanted Postmaster GesersI
uGder Hayes, to exclude Evsrts. Plstt
opened with the complaint that those
who had fought from morning till night
for the party had not been rewarded.
He denounced Evsrts rs Pecksnittian
trickster and demagOgue, and applied
similar terms TO other officials, including
the President. For Conkling and bi:
followers it is now war TO the knife, but
for the New York Republicans Conk'
lng's declarations have no sacredness.
The minority yesterday represented The
true popular sentiment.

BALTIMORE, September 27.-The
Democratic State Convention to nomi-
nate candidate tor State Comptroller
met to-day. Hon. VIM. piRckney White
was President. Thomas j. Heating was
nominated for Comptroller by acclama-
ton.
The following resolutions were adopted:
The first reafiirms the platform adopted
by the National Democratic Conven tion
AZ st. Louis in 1876.
z. We congratulate tho Democrats
and Conservatives in the Forty
fourth Congress upon their success
lul efforts in the reduction of the
annual expenditures in the various
departments of the government by more
than $30,000000, and we insist OH the
most rigid economy in the conduct of all
our public affairs.
3. A cause of congratulation to the
country at large, and especially OF pride
and satisfaction to the Democratic party,
is that its peaceful policy OF home rule and
non-Intervention in the civil affairs Of
States has become the cardinal rule of
action even in the administration, whose
title to office is not derived from an cleo
tion according to constitutional
methods, but exists by the adjudi-
cation of tribunal unknown
to the constitution, but whose award has
been scquiesced in by the peace-loving
people
4. The withdrawal from the States of
Louisiana and South Carolina of the
Federal army, which had been stand
ing menace for years TO their citizens,
and the recognition OF the Democratic
Governors of those CommOnweslths as
their lawful Executives, merits our sp-
provsl and shall receive our support.
5. We demand revision OF our pres
ent tariff Jaws, TO the end that no more
revenue be raised than is necessary to
deiray the expenses OF the government
frugslly administered, and the gradual
but certain extinction Of the public debt.
6. We protest against donations or
loans of money, lsnds or bonds, or pledge
of public credit by Congress in aid OF
associations or corporations engaged or
proposing to be engaged in public or
private enterprises, and we insist that
the opposition OF the Democratic party
to subsidies OF all kind shall be faithfully
carried out by the representatives in Con
gress, whose election is due to the sup
port of that party.
I. Condemning all lswlessness and
supporting public authorities In the sup
preston thereof, but scquitting the true
workingmsn of all completely therein,
snd sympathizirg G with those unemployed
or poorly remunersted Tor labor. We
have no new promises TO make, bat re-
affirm the resolutions adopted by our
State Convention of 1878, IN
the following words, viz: That
the wealth of the country Is
mainly derived from the products OF its
labor, and every jIst measure to improve
the condition aud promote the advance
ment of the lsborlng classes should re-
ceive sympathy and will command our
cordial support.
The last resolution recommends State
legislation for the encouragement OF col
onization.
