\ NEW York. September %. MT.
ltis justly held stupid to ope
conversation with speaking Of tn
weather, but the rule doesn't appl
to such weather as we have now
To-day completes week Of perfect
sunny, cool, delicious days that ar
the charm of tho Hudson Rive
country in September. Farmer
begin to. talk Of a drouth, but tn
country needs a few weeks of sucl
dry days to dry out hoalthily alto,
the soaking rains of Summer.
The New York State Convention
opened yesterday with what san
guinc Republicans are pleased I,
term u slap at the Administration
The adoption of most moderat,
and just platform, advising resump.
ton. denouncing subsidies, insisting
On the rights Of labor and capital
to an equal hearing, and expressing
no opinion on the Administration
policy, while hoping it will result
in peace at the South, and promis.
ing that no act of the Republicans
of New York shall be withheld for
it's success. 1t can hardly fail of
approval from all men not pledged
to the support Of measures and men
rather than of principles. Ex-Con-
gresham Ward made the strongest
possible answer to all fault finding
10 the pithy declaration that if the
announcement of Republican prin-
ciPles be the condemnation Of the
Administration, let that condemna-
ton fall. The good Republicans of
the State do not derive great en-
enlargement from the sight Of a
President escorted and flattered by
cx.rebels, who have never shown any
convincing proofs of a change Of
heart. They do not relish the mod
est demand to appoint Herschel V.
Johnson to the vacancy on the Su-
preme Bench. The late news from
Mississippi which reads rs lift dat
ed before the war, with the sight of
'sreconsiled" Democrats surround
ing Republican speakers with shot
guns in good old Southern fashion
is hot the exact style Of harmony
preferred here, and sound Republi-
cans who professed their faith be-
fore the battle Of Antietam desire
to have it distinctly understood that
the harmony has not got to be en-
lirely on their side. The Admin.
stration, say these Republicans,
talks too much in the vein of the
nan who believed in unanimity in
'amilics, and complained that he
vas always unanimous but his wife
wasn't. At least the New York
Convention has the courage to ex-
press its opinions, and nobody has
my difficulty in knowing what its
tets and words moan.
