A PERFIDI0CS LIE.

PERFIDIoUs LIE.
New York AIlgemeine Zeitung.l
The speeches of the temporary and per-
manent chairman of the Republican State
Convention, the pugilist Plat, brought for
ward by Conkling, as also the speech Of the
Senator himself must be taken as the inter-
probation of the resolutions OF the conven-
ton. The quintessence of the proceedings
of the convention is betrayed by Senator
Conklinp and his BODY guard of the Repub
lican party, and resistance to every attempt
made by the Administration to bring about
reform BY a progressive policy OF which
Conkling has himself been an asitator Tor
wears. We denounce every paragraph OF
the platform as a piece Of Jesuitism, as
perfdious lie, and hope that the people OF
the State of New York will, at last, no Ion
ger believe these liars and cheats, even at
the risk of having the Republican party de-
feated at the coming elections. \ victory
while in league with Conkling would, We
believe, be the most serious defeat that the
Republican party can sustain, and defeat
in consequence Of the unfaithfulness Of the
Conkling- Bourbons, even if the Democrats
are thereby carried to power. would be a
moral triumph.
THE LION HAS BEEN RoUsED.
IOswego Times.l
Inyectiye in sarcasm, in keen and with
e-ing denunciatiOn, the speech Of Senator
Conkling must stand without an equal m
American oratory Yet he never lost his
dignity. In beauty of language, in forcible
expression, in ingenuity of inuendo, his
effort was matches, and it was uttered with
a force and power that was utterly over
whelming. For several years MIR. Curtis
has been in the habit of going to the State
conventions with studied and set speeches,
constructed purposely TO destroy Mr.. Conk-
ling. who, he knew, would not be present to
defend himself or to deny the misrepresen-
tations. Last night ne found MIR. COnkling
at home. He may still go on with his sys-
TEN of abuse and Misrepresentation in the
columns Of the paper for which he writes,
but he will be likely to give him wide
berth hereafter in State conventions He
has found that the lion may sometimes be
goaded to turn and annihilate the ours
which snarl at his heels.
OPPOSED TO THE REPUBLICAN SENTIMENT
OF TIE STATE.
Syracuse Journal
"A to the general impression produced
by the proceedings, it should be noted that,
in so far as they seem to be any wise OBJ
structive TO the great work in which the
whole country is primarily interested-the
promotion of its business and material
L.,
of the social and political relations OF all
sections of the country-they do not repre-
sent the dominant feeling and purpose of
the Republican party. These are stubborn
facts that the people clearly see and I'M
derstand, and We have only to regret that
the great Republican leaders of New York,
in the convention, did not both eyince the
wisdom and foresight to magnify these facts,
and give voice to the Republican sentiment
of the State, which, in truth, does approve
them. and does cordially sustain the Ad-
mini.tration in its efforts TO promote them.
EXPRESSES REPUBLICAN, SENTIMENT TEN
PERATELY.
ALBANY Journal
The platform expresses Republican SEN
timent temporarily and reasonably upon
all the salient questions now before the
country. 1t lays down principles and rules
of action which meet the highest demands
of the friends of good government, and will
command itself to them as being not only
sound but practical. Most readers will
look first to see what it has to say in re-
gard to the Southern and Civil Service
policies of the Administration. And they

Just and judicious. No issue is taken with
any decision made by the President in re-
spect to the employment OF troops, while
the hope is cherished, which will find an
answer in every patriotic heart, that the
action taken in relation to the Southern
states will result in peace, tranquility and
Justice.
Mr.. CoNKLING RESPONSIBLE.

1t must b. admitted that Senator Conk- |
ling was the running spirit Of the gathering,
and the platform and the speeches therefore |
Indicate his disposition toward the admin |
and it is needless to say it Is |
hostile one. Many Of the delegates left be-
lore the nominations were made. Under |
,uch circumstances very strong ticket was
not possible, and if the Republicans lose
he election, they may thank Roscoe Conk- |
ling and the state convention which upheld |
his measures.
UTTERs THE SENTIMENTS OF THE REPUBLI- |
CANS OF THE STATE.
IPoughkeepsie Eagle.l
The great Republican Senator was heart |
ly sustained by the convention, not because |
ne had packed it with his followers, for he
mas no offices with which to reward them,
,ut because in his position on the great sub
ects that agitate the Republican party to-
Law, the vast majority Of that party believe
iim to be right. There were q great many
lew men, fresh from the people, in the con-
7entiOn, notable absence OF the whole co.
erie of wire-pnllers and machine managers,
vhO have been familiar in other conven-
ions, for they MOI only were not delegates,
,ut their faces were not seen among the
and a most unusual gathering of
trength and intellectual power, and the ut
erance it made is not that of Roscoe ConI-
ing alone, but in q far greater degree than
Platforms usually are, it was the voice of
he Republicans of New York.
