Democracy is nowhere now anything
but another name for the greed of office.
The party coheres by that and that only.
Its record is anything but honorable and
glorious, and its character. as illustrated
whenever and wherever it has had the OPP
portunity of power, is thoroughly and ir-
retrievably bad. The sooner Mr.. Lamar
and other Southern leaders drop all this
ridiculous rhetoric of the stump about the
Great Democratic Party" the better it
will be for the South and the whole coun-
Try. The people Of this country know that
party too well. 1t has done nothing but

The State Convention.

The republican State convention, o.
which a full report will be found else.
where, was a notably strong and respecta.
BILE body. In was not only much larger
in numbers than the usual conventions on
"off'' years. but in the character, standing
and influence of its members, it was far
in advance of any convention for many
years. All sections sent their best men to
take counsel together concerning the in.
terests and duties of the republican party
From such a body wise and discreet ac.
ton was to be expected. and the expecta.
ton was justified by the result.
As the nomination of Gov. Conner was
cordially conceded by unanimous consent,
the chief interest of the occasion centered
in the declaration OF opinion upon public
questions. The committee on resolutions
was selected with great care and the re-
suit of their deliberations is full and de-
tailed statement of the articles of faith ON
which the republicans base their organiza-
ton, and which they commend as embody-
ing just and satisfactory rules for the gov
eminent of the nation and the manage
ment of our State. 1t Is fitting that at
this time, when there are rumors of DIFF
ferences and disintegration and new
and strange theories of government are
set forth by our adversaries, the republi.
cans of Maine should distinctly and fully
state the grounds on which they claim
continued existence and power.
The question of the attitude of the
party in Maine toward the national admin
istration presented many difficulties. On
the one side were those who wished to
accord praise and expression of confidence
to the administration, and on the other
were those who we've dissatisfied with the
action of the President and his advisers
toward the States of Louisiana and South
Carolina, and who wished TO give express
sion OF their discomfort by vote of dis
approval. Resolutions were introduced
on both sides, and were supported by
strong and vigorous speeches. The diff
ference Of opinion was growing quite
marked, when Mr.. Blaine entered upon
the scene, and In calm. temperate, kind
ly and judicious little speech. advocated
harmony and mutual concession. His
motion TO lay both resolutions on the table
was heartily approved by the great bulk
of the convention, and was passed by an
overwhelming majority. While the advo-
Gates OF the extreme measures one way
and the other may not at once be content
ed with the result, yet time and the sober
second thought will undoubtedly convince
the great body of them that the action
taken was discreet, and was in fact the
only thing which it was possible to do I'M
der the circumstances. Ii is a condition
of any combined human action, that the
diverse opinions of individuals must be so
modified as to find common expression.
which shall represent as nearly as possible
the average sentiment of the whole. The
action of the convention will in general
commend itself TO the calm judgment OF
the republicans of Maine.

LIN nronhIe

We are naturally of a sympathetic
nature. When we SEQ brother in
trouble it is our inclination to want
to tumble into the current and lend
helping hand. Our sympathies
have lately been greatly aroused by
reading the fearful paragraphs in
the Topeka Daily Commonwealth
over the loss of the Kansas pension
agency. We drop "a tear or two,
or perhaps three" over this serious
bereavement. We weep with the
Commonwealth. 1t is q sad blow
on Topeka, and we do not wonder
that her leading paper mourns. In
the way of comfort let as remind
the Commonwealth that the city
will probably survive the blow to
her interests. Has not Topeka the
King bridge shops? Isn't she the
possessor of extensive rolling mills {?
Then why fret over the loss of the
pension agency? Why cry so con-
tinuously over split milk? Let the
Commonwealth turn it's mournful
attention to the Sonora expedition
and the Topeka & Eskridge railroad,
and all will yet be well.
In one respect the Common wealth
is probably in error, and that is the
statement that the pensioners will
be at an extra cost by the removal.
If we understand the matter cor
rectly It costs no more to transmit
letters to st. Louis or Washington
than to Topeka, and 1t will cost pen
sioners no more to receive a draft
from st. Louis than from Topeka,
and the banks in Kansas will gladly
cash sech drafts without extra fees.
