If conventions mean anything the conven-
tiops in New-York and New-Jersey mean that
certain Republican leaders are not satisfied
with the Commander-in- Chief, or with the
policv of the Administration. But voters are
sometimes wiser than their leaders. The good
soldier does not desert his flag because some
of his officers hang back. The voters who
hold the balance of power in these States, see
ing clearly that some leaders do not want the
better sort of Republicanism to prevail, may
also see that it can be made to prevail
not by giving a victory to Democracy, but by
giving to the Republican National Admlnlstra-
tratlon that hearty support at the polls which
leaders refused to give in convention. They
NAV have faith that the conventions did not,
in that respect, represent the real tendency OF
the party as a whole. Republican voters, II
they are devoted rather to cause than to the
nersonal service of a leader, may think il well
TO sustain Republican President by Republican
votes, in the conviction that theresistless logic
of events. and the rising common sense of the
people, will speedily force leaden-footed lead
ers to step faster, or to step down and ont
The course of the President toward the South
will soon have such public appreciation that
from public life. Practical voters may con-
clude to sustain the President and leave halt
ing leaders to sustain themselves, if they can.
Grantism was overwhelmingly beaten III
New-York in spite of Mr.. COnkling, and in
New-Jersey in spite of Mr.. Robson. If the
party, as a whole, stood to-day where Grant,
Conkling and Robson stood in 1874, nothing
is more certain than that it would be beaten.
No new defeat is necessary TO make manifest
the will of the majority toward the policy
which these men pursued. a Republican sue
cess. if achieved at all, can be achieved only
by the votes of men who opposed and voted
against that policy, and can be construed only
az an approval of the better course upon which
the Republican National party has now en-
tered.
There are times when it is duty to ignore
form for the sake of substance. In spite of
all resistance, the prevailing tendency Of the
Republican party is in the path marked ont
by President Hayes. In some States and
within the influence of some leaders 1t j. other
Wise. But Independent and conscientious men
will Judge of a party as a whole before de-
Gliding whether to support or TO defeat
it. Mr. Chandler was nominally in COM
mand during the last campaign. But
those did well who paid 10 attention
to the fact. and the results reward them.
So those will do well this year who
bear in mind that the Republican party,
as a whole is best represented by its Presl-
dent, and in the end, will sustain him. BE the
local platforms and leaders what they may,
vote for that party will count, in the end, for
naaca and Good will at the South for restOra-
ton Of specie payments and for "A better and
cleaner administration of public affairs.
There are two parties to be considered.

What the temper and prevailing tendency OF
the Democratic party are, we have seen. lts
most dangerous elements are still in the ma
jority. In the Republican party, the better
men too often suffer themselves to be led or
represented by the worst, but in the Demo-
cratic party the worst men too often mask
themselves behind the virtues of the more con-
servative and patriotic. If we drift on, with
out essential change of issues, the next Presl-
dental contest will he between this same DEM
ocratic party, still controlled by dangerous eie-
ments, and a Republican parry appealing
to memories of the war, and tempted
as ever to rely greatly upon its past achieve
ments. There could hardly be a greater mis-
fortune for the country than such another
campaign Hence the course OF President
HAYES aims to bring new questions to the
front, and to win from attachment to reac-
tionary Democracy, men of Intelligence anu
strength. II is an honorable and pralseworthy
effort. But the possibility of success In that
direction is rendered more remote by
every Democratic victory in North
ern State. 1t is popularity OF that
party that it never learns anything, nor makes
any progress except when it is beaten. Under
continuous defeat, its better men might be
aroused and strengthened to lift 1t to the con-
sideration of new issues, but another Demo-
cratic success at the North would instantly set
bowling all the irreconcilables of that party
about every dead issue of the past, from the
Electoral Commission back to the resolutions
of '9S. The less the Democratic party wins
the more possible it may be to put it out of
the way as a mere Renaissance of things dead
and offensve-a mere ghost of vanquished
rebellion. The more the Republican party
wins, the more possible it will be to make the
policy of its President the accepted and irTeyo-
cable policy Of the Nation.

THE PLATFORM.

The platform neither approves nor con-
dennis the Southern policy. On this point
Mr.. Conkling looks askance, hoping for the
best, but evidently expecting little, and
quite prepared to recommend return
to the old methods whenever the oc-
cason may arse. There is straight
forward profession of faith in the Resumption
Act, a cry of warning against the subsidy
seekers. sensible and frank declara-
ton respecting the rights and duties
of labor and capital. The resolution
on local affairs, State and municipal, is full
and comprehensive, and there is call for q
new appoItionmcnt at which, perhaps, some
excellent members OF the late Legislature may
smile a very little.
The chief part of the platform is of course
that which relates to Civil Service reform, and
il Is important rather for what it means than
for what il says. In this plank, however, there
are some excellent things. The theory OF
Civil Service reform could hardly be stated
better than it is III the five propositions which
lead the paragraph; and even the polemical
passages which follow contain some sound hard
sense, which would have made strong impress
