OF Scott, this year, denounced the
temperance plank Of the State Re-
publican platform and while the
State platform Of the party did not
draw party lines on the policy ques-
ton, he in his call struck ont for q
sort of new and independent party,
whose shibboleth and distinctive rail-
lying cry was the policy. All this
was the result Of vigilant-
~ and carefully arranged compact
made with certain strong element
in Davenport which has been for
wears democratic. In this arrange
ment men werc put upon the ticket
who had been recently elected on the
democratic ticket If our memory
serves us. So there was formed in
Scott county sort Of Scott county
party within the party Of
the State, rejecting what it saw prop
er Of the State platform and adding
thereto.
This combination got back in
large part the strong Gcrman-Schurz
element in Davenport which had
been acting with the. democratic par
ty. If this sitting of the con victions

A correspondent asks: "Why does
the Times always speak of the Prcsi-
dent as Mr.. Hayes, and not as Presi-

tho fact that Mr.. Hayes unjustly holds
the Office he occupies. He is lawfully
the President, bnt not rightfully the

but condemn the frauds by which il

Special Dispatch 10 the Chicago Tribanc.
PHILADELpHIA, Oct. 3O.-Although
a great surprise, the appointment Of
John Welsh as Minister to England
is eqnallya satisfaction to conserva.
tive people Of both parties in this
city and State. lie has long been
held up as model citizen Of Pensyl-
vania, and, although an earnest Re-
publican, has never incurred the en-
nifty Of his politicakopponcnts, as he
has persistently held aloof from ma
chine politics, and wealth has kept
him above any temptation to Office
seeking. The Cameron people take
the nomination unkindly, saying that
it will not help them bit in the COM
ing campaign, which is going to the
dogs, while old Simon's selection
would have put all the old cogs in
motion, and made victory probable If
not certain. The nomination OF Mr..
Welsh was brought about through
COMMITTEE OF BUSINESS MEN
of Philadelphia, who went to Wash
ington few days ago about another
matter, one of whom was Edward Il.
Steel, who entertained the President
magniilcently when he was here dur
ing tho Centennial Exhibition. This
delegation was most cordially receiv-
