NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The New York State Republican Con-
vention met in New York last Thursday.
The proceedings we're not harmonious-the
bone of contention being the Southern policy
of President Hayes. The anti-Hayes men,
led by Senator Conkliug, controlled the &C
ton of the Convention. Geo. VIM. Curtis led
those who advocated the Presidents treat
ment of the Southern question. T. G. Platt
was chosen temporary chairman, and in re:
turning thanks for the honor conferred, ad-
dressed the Convention at length He paid
his respects to the "Solid South as follows :
For the first time since the war, we are con-
fronted with the stern reality of the Southern
States in solid phalanx for the support Of
their political confederates, the Democratic
party. We behold the Republican orgauiza
ton in nearly every Southern State demor
allied, paralyzed and practically crushed out
The promised disintegration of the Demo-
cratic hosts which was to follow liberal dis
tribution of Federal Offices and policy con-
fiding and elusive, is far in the dim future
1t requires no gift of second sight to discern
that, even with the widest divisions of the
dominant party in the South, no resurrection
there of any party by the name of Republican
is within the range Of probability. To-day
the Hamptons, Hills and Lamars will caress
the hands that restore them to power, but vote
the Democratic ticket tomorrow and forever.
But, fellow Republicans, all this only demon
strates the vital Importance of maintaining
and perp atuating the Republican party in the
North. 1t isno time to relax or despond.
At the close of the Convention, after the
nomination of John c. Churchill, of Oswego
county, for the Office of Secretary of State,
the only nomination for which the Convention
assembled, Lyman Tremaine was called for,
and addressed the body in relation to the
magnitude and importance of the coming can
vass. He said: "The Democratic party
boastfully declares that now, having control
of a solid South, they propose and expect to
capture New York and few other Northern
States, and thus get control of the national
administration for twenty-five years. Let
them get legislative control of this State, and
the Republican party will have little hope of
rescuing it from their hands again in ten years.
Are the loyal men of this State ready to hand
the government over to the possession of the
men who so lately sought to destroy it'"
The speaker proceeded at some length to re-

SOME PLAIN VORDS.

Come, Messrs. Strikers, let us examine your
situation and demands cooly. 1t is decidedly
worth while for yOu 10 make such examination
before YOU get yourselves shot by violating
law. 1t is decidedly worth while for society
TO make that examination before it expends
money i'll bringing bullets to bear on you. At
present there is difference between you and
civilized society. If society is wrong, it ought
TO send home its troops, silence its sberifs, ard
repeal the laws upon which they act. If you
are wrong you ought to dsband and go home
as quickly as possible, first giving to the au-
thorties proof for the conviction of the per-
SONS who have inetigated resistance to law.
|. You carnot live upon your wages if they
are reduced, you say. That is, you must
run INTO debt. But tie railroad companies
which employ you have been running into
debt for some years. In part their debts have
been caused by trying to pay higher wages TO
YOU for your labor, and To stockholders for
their money, than either could earn. OF that
mistake, since you have shared the benefit, you
cannot complain. Apart from that mistake,
all the leading roads have been running into
debt for years. The fact is, the times are hard
for railroads and for workmen. Il there any
reason why you should not begin, al THIS late
day, to bear your share of the common burden
III. 1t is impossible to support families upon
the proposed wages, you say. Yet it is curl
Gus that the family men among you are not
an xious 10 strike. Everywhere the great ma
jolity of them vote in your consultations
against throwing away small wages that can
be had for the sake of dreamy possibilities of
better The men outvote them who havo no
families, and whose expenses for personal in
dulgences often exceed the real cost Of sup
porting family. Is it not possible that some
economy and sef-denial in those indulgences,
or in modes of life, rates of living, or places
Of boarding. would enable you TO tide over

cause they pay to important officers large sal

Tompkins Square Meeting was regarded as the
crisis. 1t proved in point of numbers fail
ure; of feeling tame, and of influence,
insignificant. Another demonstration or two
of tho same sort would make the question of
New-YOrk sympathy for this whole wretched
business utterly ridiculous. Everybody must
now see how much better it was to let our
Communists and other crack Drained folk
blow OF superfluous steam. We give
them the fairest hearing the aTsons and
murders of their more active comrades al)pg
the railroads leave us room for, and we COM
mend their uttcrauces to the candid cOnside.-

surprised to find bow vague, vapld and

The Democrats of Ohio have nominated n
highly respectable Cincinnati grocer for Gov
ernor. His chief political prominence heretofore
has Decn as Knowkothlng candidate for
HayOr OF Cincinnati, and Lis chief title
to Democratic favor pow is that he
is rich, and can contribute the sinews OF war.
We have sometimes seen similar nominations
in New-York; but it has occasionally hap
pened that after the rich man had got tho
nomination, ho was quite ready To let other
people bear the expenses OF the canvass. Oaio

is state always sharply fought from the
hustings, and the candidate who cannot follow
the example of Hayes and Allen, Noyes,
PrndletOn. and the long list of able popu-
lar debaters back to Chase and Payne, who
have made the State campaigns brilliant
asd memorable, IS. az least an experiment.
The platform is smart and dishonest. 1t
yells Fraud, blends gracefully the two
popular crazes of Grecnbacks and Silver
denounces the National Banks and demands
the immediate and unconditional repeal OF the
Resumption Act. But its most discrcditable
feature is the demagogue effort to make capi-
tai ont of the strikes. The Convention did
not dare openly to approve either the strikes
or the strikers. But it dtnounccs the Repub-
lcan Administration for 'panperiZing labor"
and squarcly charges tbat the arson,
murder, general lawiossneos, paralysis OF
trade and transportation are all due
to the iniquities of Republican laws.
It is a great blessing that all this comes be-
fore the Republican Convention That bohycan-
not follow in the wake u the Democrats; and
now, rs on some notable occasions in the past,
must be driven incO better positions than
some of it, members intend, by the
explicit uitcrances of It's opponents.
Altogether the ONO Democrats have done
good deal towards hold'ns Republicans up TO
sound finance and decent government, and

shall MT need TO be ashamed.

many points the laws are inadequate. 1t ought
