The Republican State Convention.

The organs of the democratic party keep
before their readers the idea that the re-
publicans are going to divide into Hayes
and anti-Hayes factions. The wish is faith
er to the thought. Nothing would please
the Bourbons better than such division
In the republican ranks. In late issue
the Eastern Argus says;
"The radical politicians of Maine are now cog
itating deeply how they are going to get over the
ninth Of August without an open break in the
party. The fsvorite plan with the aDti-Hayes
men 10 to renew the annual pledge Of deep devo-
ton 70 republican principles, aud stop there. But
the supporters of Hayes say that bis aIministra-

ably have to YIELD and be content with rot having
the admin istratiop specifically denounced, the an

principles 10 direct condemnation of Hayes who,
they claim, has broadly violated them, while The
Hayes men will Claim 1t Is daect endorsement
of Hayes who, they insist, is but following out re-
publican principles.
Let the Argus possess its soul In pa
thence. Time will disclose what the re-
publicans will do at their State conven-

good sense, but Of course not in manner

Mr.. Tilden is becoming somewhat con-
spicuons of late in the newspapers. There
Is a rumor that he will be candidate for
United States Senator In 1879, and that to
that end he will use all his resources to
get control of a majority of the Senate
and Assembly of New York. Other ru-
mors say that he will take measures to
test Mr.. Hayes title to the Presidency
during the coming session of Congress.
How the test is 10 be applied nobody
seems to know and few to care, and Til
denJhas no hope of any favorable result
from it except possibly for campaign use.

Secretary Evarts has no official informa-
ton OF any change of purpose on the part
of the French Government concerning the
Paris Exposition. All the communications
received give assul ances that the fair will
be held next year as announced. In and
out the State Department however. the
opinion gathers strength that postpone
ment will be decided upon before long.
In addition to the war exciting all Europe
and likely to prove an insuperable obsta-
Gle to holding satisfactory Exhibition
there is now new difficulty in the politi-
cal crisis in France. The elections which
will follow the dissolution of the Assembly
will greatly agitate the country and make
1t impossible to develop that degree of in
terest in the fair which is essential to its
success. Holding this view it is natural
that the department should hesitate about
appointing Provisional Commission. No
steps towards organizing such commits
sion have been taken yet.

The New Hampshire House Of Representa-
tiyes refused, on Tuesday last, by the solid vote
of the republicans in that body, TO adopt re-
solution, introduced by a democrat, endorsing
the policy OF the present administration. The
same resolution was called up again yesterday
and though strong efforts were made by the
democrats to have it adopted, the republicans
succeeded 10 laying it on the table. The radI-
cal politicians are opposed to the Presidents
couciliatory policy, because that policy has al
ready restored peace, aud will, il continued
secure prosperity to the country; but peace aud
nrosperity are not the lood upon which radical
ism thriyes; indeed lhoy are fatal to It's very
existence. I'll feeling, bloodshed. confusion, al
arohy, and idleness and prostration OF business
ara the means by whish rslcalism has retained

being begotten of hate. avarice and selhshness,
It ia of course opposed to any mitigation OF
those evils, because such mitigation would
threaten its own life. But though ra1ica'lSm
NAV oppose the Presidents policy and endeavor,

suing it any longer, they will not be as success

means to force him into the White House, Tor
