4 STlTE CONVENTION at SARATOGA.

There is only one essential thing for a
nominating convention in this State to do this
year. That is, to nominate a candidate for
Judge on the bench of the Court of appeals.
1t did not seem to us clear, two months ago, that
the temper then prevailing promised much
addition to the harmony or the fight
ing strength of the Republican party
through any other action such cOnven-
ton might take. 1t was long ago dis
covered that where two ride on horseback
one must ride behind. If the Convention were
held, it must be controlled either by the
Conkling men or by the anti-COnkling men.
Whichever found itself compelled to ride be-
hind was sure to be disgrunted, and we
had no anxiety to see the representation
of New-YO in the next House inn
perilled, and in the next Senate thrown
away, through the repetition of such
scenes as were witnessed last year. No mat
ter who controlled the Convention, we could
see nothing but damage 10 Republican in
terests from the struggles that threatened to
attend its sessions.
But as the gravity of the situation has become
palmer, the good sense which has so often
saved the Republican party in critical emer-
obvious change in the temper on both sides,
and this leaves us little occasion to regret
that the cOunsels of those who have so
earnestly urged convention have finally
prevailed. The State Committee has acted
quietly, promptly, and with dscreton and
the call for the Convention is issued in the
usual form and on the usual basis OF
representation. 1t is now in order for
the Republicans of the State to look
TO those who have first and loudest
insisted on the holding of this State Conven-
ton, to make it useful in promoting the vital
work of Repubcanism. That work, for this
campaign, we take to be twofOld. First, we
have to get the party squarely to the front
and in line, for honest money and
the honest payment of our debts. And sec
Ondly, we ought to carry every doubtful dis
trict for Congressman and Assemblymen.
They deserve most of the Republican party
now, who do most to accomplish these ends
and the least to hinder them.

Mr. Controller Kelly declares that he does not be-

Oregon business, "because he is too cautious a

the general public as an altogether complimentary

Governor Mcclellan is now seated on an eminence

struggles of Mr. Thurman IN his efforts to extrcate
himself from his tangled financial record, and the

OF the Oregon dispatches. Hope springs eternal in
the human breast.

Some curiosity has been expressed as to the
method of constructing and translating the cipher

the other day. They were made upon what may be
called the dictionary plan. Sender aud receiver

Sons. London-and the message, being first
written in plain English, was translated into

The Republicans Of the Elmira District in tins
State are delighted with the nomination Of Ralph
Beaumont as the National candidate for Congress.
Their only anxiety has been lest the Nationals and
Democrats should combine upon some rich Demo
crat as a candidate. That would have given them
n close fight with doubtful result. All danger Of
such q combination is passed now. Beaumont is a
shoemaker who left his bench to make speeches for
the National party. He is the second officer IN the
secret order Of the Knights Of Labor holding the
voluminous title of Grand Worthy Foreman. He
has no strength outside the National party and will
attract no votes from either Democrats or Republic
cans. His nomination makes the election of u Re
publican Congressman from the XXlXth District
certain. provided there is harmony the Republic
can Convention, which now seems assured 1t IL
also claimed by competent authorities that Beau
monfs nomination will result in a solid Republican
delegation to the Assembly from Chemung County,
which is as good news as the assurance of Con-
gresham.

Printers entertain high regard tor those
traditional customs among the craft, repe-

lang syne-of their first experience at the
printing business, and the other day when Joe
Besser pulled of his cont and announced
that he had enlisted in the cause, it wasn't
ong before some of the boys had sent him
over 10 a neighboring Office with a couple of
two-bushel coal scuttles 10 borrow few ..side
sticks Joe returned in few minutes with
the information that "they hadn't any TO

E1e Lived Nearly a Month without
Eating or Drinking.


The people Of Iowa are experiencing tn,
fulfillment OF the words of the good book
''the days when the grasshopper shall be {
burden, and desire fail, because man goetf
to his long home" The grasshopper Is the
burden of the Iowa Legislature, and an
edict is preparing for his total annihila,
ton. The Des Moines Register has an
obituary notice Of one unfortunate grass
hopper in late number. We had always
taken the Register TO be humane sheet
until We read that notice:
Las evening about o'clock, grasshopper
died at the Register office. He was one OF the
chaps that were caught over a month ago in
Douglas county and seals q up in a glass and
sent TO this office. From January 18th until
last night-a month lacking three days-he
lived without food or drink.
Think of it-a land OF plenty like Iowa
and the benevolent editor of the REGISTER
eating fat and smoking his Havana, and
allowing grasshopper, all the way from
Dallas, to stop in his office for a month
without single square meal, or even an
invitation to take drink Bergh should
organize the 5. p. C. A. in Dts Moines, and
look after the ReGister.
