New York RepublIcaus.

| Last week, the Republican State Convention
of New York was held. The friends of Hayes
can scarcely claim that he received endorse
ment at the hands of this Convention. Its ac-
| tion was not non comnittal upon the policy, but
was 80 clear and uneqnvocsl that even wafar-
ing man, although fool and running rampant
through the ''solid South" could not fail to un-
derstand it. Senator ConkliBg was a delegate,
and refused to serve as President of the Conven-
tion, because, as he said, lie wanted to take an
active part in the proceedings, and to have his
share Of personal responsibility for what should
be done. The Convention was composed, in a
very large degree, Of the veterans of the Repub-
lican party, who have been bearing the brunt of
the battle during all the years of its existence |;
and it was very evident that Conkiing was at
home among his friends.
The first demonstration was the speech of the
President of the Convention. He scored the
Administration without mercy. The platform,
as reported by the Committee, condemned the
policy of the President, especially the Civil Ser
vice portion Of it. George William Curtis offer
ed an amendment, unequivocslly endorsing the
President and his policy. Here the fight oom-
menced. Curtis and few others supported the
amendment in able speeches. A number of
speeches were made on the opposite side, but the
greatest one was by Conkling. 1t. is said to
have been the grandest effort of his life, and he
carried the Convention by storm. Curtis
amendment was beaten more than two to one,
and the platform, as reported by the Committee,
was adopted.
Conkling and the Convention are censured for
making an open issue with the President. They
did exactly right. Treason should not be nurscd
and compromised with. II the Republicans of
all the States had scted as they felt, and throt-
tied Hayes' policy Mt the start, they wonld have
squelched bim more completely than Andrew
Johnson's treason was strangled. Besides, the
President has been making war upon Senator
Conkling, and the bulk Of his Civil Service hum
bug is aimed at him. Men who have spent the
last seven years trying to break down the Re-
publican party, are permitted ey Hayes to use
the Civil Service weapon to injure Cpnklng and
bis friends Conkling is disposed to strike back,
and he strikes hard.
We close this article with . connundrum: As
Hayes is 90 stubbornly bent upon purifying the
service. that he will not permit ono of his Office
holders to participate in political Convention,
vhy is he % anxious to have all these Conven-
tions endorse him If they corrupt the public
service, will not their endorsement corrupt him

Under the benign reign of the "patriot and
statesman" Hayes, Reconciliation" is supposed
to prevail. If reconciliation simply means for
getting the animosities of the war, there is mol
in ten Thousand, even of the most radical
who object to it. Nobody, at this day, wants Il
keep mp that strife. But there were principles
connected with the struggle that should neve,
be forgotten. Reconciliation should never in
duce an acknowledgements that the rebellion
was just cause, or that those who engaged in
the war for the destruction of the nation, are en-
titled to the same honor and recompense as those
who fought to save the nation. There are thou
sands Of meh all over the country, and widows
and orphans Of men, who are drawing pensions
because of disabilities incurred saving the M
tion's life. We have men with crippled legs and
arms; men without legs or arms; men with
bullet holes through their lungs, their bodies, or
their heads aud We conversed with q man, the
other day, who had q section Of his jaw-bone
shot away. These men are drawing pittance
from the Government, as o slight recompense
for their misfortuncs in its service. But the men
whom Hayes has conciliated, are already calling
out to these cripples awe, who fought against
you, were in as just q cause aslyou were, and we
must receive the same pension that you do, or
yours must be taken awayw How do Union
soldiers like thati Does history record an in
stance of Government pensonng men for try
ing to destroy iti But this thing is bound to
come. When the Democracy get into power, it
will come to pass. Through the policy of Hayes,
that party will be in power within two years.
When Republicans are asked to endorse his pol

WHAT's THK DIFFERENCE I'VE have heard
and expect to hear more, shout few men run
ming Republican Conventions. The time and
places for the primaries have been set, and are
published. There is an opportunity for every
Republican In the County to attend them, and
vote for delegates to represent bis wishes. There
could be nothing more open and fsir. 1t affords
the amplest opportunity for the many to control
the Convention, instead of the few. This crum
bling about cliques running the thing, comes
chiefly from mon who have "reform" on the
brain, and are never satisfied with what a Re-
publican Convention does, but are the head men
in getting up opposition tickets. There are two
other calls out for County Conventions, and we
would like to ask what there is about them to
make them preferable to the Republican plan
The call for Working Mems Convention
was got up by one man, said to be candi-
date for Office; but another person, known to
be o candidate, is said to have been the real iu-
stigator Of it. The call for q Greenback Conven-
tion was got mp by three or four men, who met
on the Fair Grounds, during tho Fair. Now,
wherein do these men represent the wishes of
the people, more than a dozen members of the
Republican Central Committee, who met in a
public place, pursuant to published notice
Which looks most like scheme of office seekersf
There are more men at work for office at the
hands of Greenbackers and Working Men than
there are for Republican nominations.

DU TELL 1T has been dinned in the ears Of
the public by the Atchison Champion, and sent
over the land by the agent of the associated
Press at Atchison, who is the editor Of the Ckom-
peon, that the Republican County Convention Of
Washington County has unanimously adopted
the resolution of George William Curtis, en-
dorsing the Presidents policy! This is power
fol important news. Since 1t is authoritatively
settled that Senator Conkling has a maegot in
his head, and that Washington County, Kansas,
has adopted the resolution rejected by the Re-
publicans of the State of New York, the country
should breathe easier.
