New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-09-26
LIE CnNHENTL0NS

The Republicans of New-Jersey have held
their Convention, and the work of the Rcpub
lican gathering in New-York is so plainly laid
out in advance that the proceedings at Roches-
ter to-day promise to be little more than a
matter of form. The personnel of Conventions
is something like the stock company of Il thea
ire, where the programme changes from week TO
week, but the same faces reappear one night
shouting for Cesar" another night support
ing " The ApOstate." Most of the gentlemen
who are now performing in the political
drama are well known on the boards. A little
while ago they were enthusiastic followers of
Gen. Grant. They praised his patriotism and
his common sense they were very angry
with all of us who criticised his policy they
insisted that il was the duty of every Repub-
lican convention to give a hearty approval
TO the party administration. Then came the
demand for reform. The Cincinnati COnv en-
ton put it in the National platform. The
State conventions all cried " Excellent! The
Every thing we wantedl' and applauded
louder than ever. Mr.. Hayes promised, if he
should be elected, to fulfil these pledges,
to change the system of appointments,
to give peace and fair Government
to the South. On these pledges the delegates
worked for him, and the people elected him.
President Hayes did what he said he would
do And now Gen. Grant who certainly per-
sonifes the Repubicanism of the past, declares
that President Hayes is doing exactly right,
and is entitled to the most cordial and CRATE
ful support.
1t is not easy to understand upon what pre-
text the gentlemen of the conventions can
now quarrel with their own candidate. Yet
here is Gen. Grants ex-Secretary Robson
setting whole pack of dissatisfied Jerseymen
upon the President by blandly advising them not
to put him under the pump; and here is Gen.
Grants next friend, Senator Conkling, holding
the New-YOrk Convention in his hand and
considering how he shall most prudently and
effectually point its dislike-Or shall we say
emphasize its Indifference !-toward the Presi-
dent whom Gen. Grant SAYS he so strongly adj
mrcs. 1t is one of the most curious exhibitions
of illogical politics on record, and the actors
seem to be quite unconscious of the absuTdity
of the performance
1t is easy to give these manifestations more
importance than they deserve. The New-York
Convention is substantially gathering of the
friends of Mr.. COnkhng, and it will reflect
his temper and his wishes. We regret
that 80 able a politician as the Sena-
tor does not find himself thoroughly in
accord with the Administration of the
party in which he has done distinguished ser
vice; but surely there is room in the organiza-
ton for men of various opinions and prefer

THE SITCl7ION IN BULGARIA..

There is q temporary lull in the Eastern
struggle, and as the smoke of the recent des-
perate battles drifts away from the field, we
begin to see the consequences little more
clearly. The masses of Russian dead piled
before the earthworks of Plevna are frightful-
" increased the reported Turkish victory at
Biela turns out to have been a repulse where
an attack was not intended; two armies still
fercely confront each other on the summit of
the Balkans; and the present situation may
be simply described as one in which the Rus
slams have become too discouraged and the
Turks too prudent, to attack each others po-
sitiOns.
The value of the days now passing away
cannot be too highly estimated. In another
month, in all probability, active operations
must cease, and the greater part of the invad-
ing army be housed, as comfortably as may
be, in Winter encampments. Last year the
season was exceptionally mild and pleasant,
and there was little rain or severe cold before
the end of November; hence there is all the
greater prospect of an early Winter this year.
The English correspondents at Bucharest and
before Plevna speak of sharp nightly frosts in
both places, during the first week of this
month. The weather, along the lower Danube,
is always uncertain and subject to violent
changes from October until May. Even Con-
stantrnoplc itself, Notwithstanding its Oriental
characteristics OF minarets and cypress groves
and gardens, has one of the most trying
climates Of any European capital but Rou-
mania and Bulgaria, lying open To the north
east winds, which blow across two thousand
miles of plain and desert. are especially ex-
posed to atmospheric gusts and fluctuations.
How much is still possible, to either side,
before going into Winter quarters? The posi-
tons OF their armies enable us to conjecture,
at least, the limits which the narrowing season
must set to their achievements. The Turks.
we may take it for granted, will hardly at
tempt to carry any strong Russian position.
except that in the Shipka Pass. They Will try
to hold the western, or Plevna line, and to
press back Their enemies, on the east (Which
can no longer be called the line of the Lom),
to Biela, Tirnova and GabrOya. Whether they
venture more than this, depends upon Suleiman
Pasha. The Russians, on the other hand, must
eRdeavOr to defeat one or tho other Turkish
Army before the season closes. Now that Os-
man Pasha has received achievements and
supplies, the siege of Plevna will be slow work,
and we expect to hear of a movement
in the rear, to isolate it from Widdin
and Sophia. When the Guards and the three
modified corps are on the ground, the Russians
