The temporary Chairman of the
New York Republican Convention,
ex-Congressman Plat, we can in no.
wise sustain in what he said in his
opening speech. His remarks against
the Administration were bitter and
vindictive. They never ought to have
been uttered. II Senator Conkling
prompted them, he, too, deserves the
same censure. We cannot believe
that he should be held responsible for
them, 20 in all he said in his remarks
before the convention, we have not
observed any condemnation of the
Administration, and no bitterness
towards it. We believe, with Thur
low Weed, that both sides are respon-
sible, in part, for the strife that oc-
Cured. Certain il is, as we have
before said, the resolution which was
reported by the committee, and adopt
ed by the convention touching the
Presidents Southern policy, is all that
any fair man could desire, if he at
oil sought harm ony and unity in
the party. The position which George
William Curtis long occupied toward
the administration of Gen. Grant,
which was one of constant criticism
and wanton attack-ought to lead
him, and all like him, to be entirely
satisfied with the hearty good viii
expressed in the New York resolu-
tions for the Presidents success in
that policy, and Republican cooper
alton to that end.

BOB STEWARDS GRATITUDE.


A Gevsrnor - MAsssura w alklsg Arm
IN A8m with . Convict.
From the St. Louis Times.
Probably the oldest genins who
ever occupied q public position in
Missouri was the late Robert M. Stew
art. He lived in st. Joseph, where he
rose in political power. The first
President of the Hannibal and st.
Joseph Railroad, he was called its
father. He was elected Governor in
1857.
When Doniphan's expedition was
organized to 60 through New Mexico
and cooperate with the main United
States army in lS47, Bob Stewart was
q member Of a company raised in
Buchanan county. Four days out his
gun was accidentally discharged, the
contents entering one Of his legs, shat
tering . bone and disabling him. One
of the company, William Grover, was
detailed to remain with Stewart.
Grover watched over his friend with
the care Of brother, and Stewart,
not then dreaming of his future dis
tinction, said, "Bill, old fellow, I'll
pay you back some day! The time
will come !"
Ten years later Bill Grover, the
friend of Stewart, was arrested as q
participant in political crime, tried
convicted, and sentenced to the peni.
Tertiary for ten years. Not long after
his conviction, Stewart was nomina.
ted for Governor. He saw his friend
just before he was incarcerated, and
said, "Bill, the first thing l do after
Pm inaugurated will be to pardon
You out. And Pm sure to be elect.

Bob was elected and inaugurated
True to his word and the native in.
stincts of gratitude, he went to the
penitentiary and inquired for Bill
Grover. He was not there. He was
one of q detail called out to dig a
we'll in jefferson City, and was then
engaged in that work.
OFF the Governor posted to the vel
in which Grover was at work. Or
reaching the place, he leaned over thu
well and cried out:
"Bill, are you there"
"Who's that ?" asked voice from
the subterranean deeps below.
"It's me-Bob Stewart Come uI
out O there, d-n you! I've par
doncd you."
i In q few minutes Grover was haulet
up out of the well. Then was exhib
tied the curious spectacle of the Gov
ernor of a great State walking thro
! the streets of the capital arm-in-arn
with q striped-suited convict. HI
took his old friend up to clothing
store, rugged him out in new sui,
and made him q guest at the Govern
, or's mansion, afterward providing
for him q start in business.

henry D. Payne and the Electoral
Commission.

Henry B. Payne, of Cleveland, O.,
made speech recently in that state,
in which he said that had the democ-
racy mot thought that Justice Davis,
Of Illinois, would have been placed
upon the Electoral Commission, and
that he would decide in their favor,
they would not have agreed to the
formation of the Commission. Payne
IL one of the very ablcst men
among the Ohio democracy. We
think, however, that his story of why
he yielded to the formation of the
Commission, and, indeed, labored for
Il rs he did, is more Of q patched-up
excuse ON his part to avoid the COM
plants made against him for his &C.
tion by his fellow democrats, than
anything else.

a Currency Suited to the Wants OF
Trade.

Our readers will remember that
we have from time to time stated that
under the law Of 1874 the National
banks were permitted to retire their
circulation at their option, or it can
be increased under existing laws.
Just now the movement Of the i'm
mense crop is making demand for
more money, aud during this month,
September, $l,326,54O of additional
bank notes have been issued in the
call Of the banks. At the same time
greenbacks have been retired at the
rate Of eighty per cent. of bank notes
issued, which leaves clear balance OF
"a increase of the circulating medium
in one month of$265, 30S. This shows
the flexible character of our present
currency system, and how well it il
adapted to meet the wants of trade.
