A Woman for yice.President.

The directors OF the National Liberal
League have called convention or con-
grcss, to be- held at Syracuse on the Goth of
October for the purpose OF nominating can
didates for President and Nicc-Presidcnt Of
the United States IN 1880. This is a long
way ahead, but perhaps it Is well for the
National Liberal League to be in time with
its nominations.
Nj. H. l.. GREEN of Salamanca, the Chair
man Of the Executive Commttee Of this or
ganzation, informs is that tho League
proposes TO make serious canvass in 1850,
and TO run electoral tickets 10 nearly every
State. He furnishes Us with list of some
Of the names most prominently mentioned
for the principal nomination. Among them
appear those Of Col. Bob lNGERsoLL, the
Hon. GEORGE W. JULIAN, ELIzUR WRIGHT,
BENJAMIN f. BUTLER. JAMES PARTON and
Is +. UNDERWOOD. All of the Liberal can
didates are pretty well known through
out tho country. Col Bon INdERsoLL Is n
man Of n bold, aggressive disposition,
stirring stump speaker, whose voice can be
heard long distance in tho open air All,
sincere admrcr Of tho poetry and character
Of the late ROBERT PCnys. It has been Oh
leotod TO Col Bon lNGERsoLL that he Is not
person Of fcryent picty, but as It is a car
dinal doctrine of tho National Liberal
League that craftsmanship and theology
should be kept apart, we presume the SYRIA
cuso Convention will not be unlavorably dis
| posed to him on this account.
The Hon. GEORGE W. JULIAN has been
| identified with both OF the old parties, and
| the fact that he saw nt to PASS from one to
| tho other has led some OF his enemies to
style him JULIAN, the Apostate." We
have no means OF knowing tho strength Of

! Liberal League to make Mr.. JULIAN Pres.

idcntial candidate or whether he Is person
ally interested in It's success. Mr.. EL1zUR
WRIGHT OF Boston has been for n great
many years leading authority on vital
statistics and the science Of life assurance.
Gen. BENJAMIN f. BUTLER is already well
known in politics, and was last week nomi-
mated for Governor of Massachusetts, by Il
Democratic Convention called at Worcester
by the Hon. EDWARD AVERY. Mr.. JAMES
PARTON has never had much administrative
experience, but his biographical researches
have made him familiar with tho lives of
numerous statesmen who have had and
who would undoubtedly stand him in good
stead should he receive the Syracuse nomi-
nation and be elected two years. hence.
Tho ticket selected by the Syracuse Con-
vention will enjoy the. advantage Of being
first in the field. Tho voters of the rcpub-
lie will have more time TO weigh the merits
and become convinced Of the excellcnces OF
the candidates there put forward than in
the case OF tickets made up two years later
For this reason the Syracuse Convention
should proceed with great prudence
We are also informed that the National
| Liberal League l. considering the cXpcdi-
ency Of putting a lady in nomination for
| Nicc-Prcsidcnt. That policy would lend II
novel interest to the campaign, but we are not
sure that it would bc n wise policy. The ma
| jority of voters are far behind the National
| Liberal League in their views of the sphere
Of woman But even If the Syracuse ticket
| should prevail and lady he elected To fill
the chair now Illegally occupied by WILLIAM
| ALMoS WHEELER, It Is question whether
the ultimate interpreters Of the Constitution
would allow her To exercise the functions of
the Office While tits not our wish to dictate
to the National Liberal League, we should
certainly advise 1t to abandon the idea of
nominating woman for Nice-Presdcnt and
to substitute man-Mr GEORGE WASHING
TON CHILDs. A. NJ, for example, the sweet,
sad poet VI mortality.
As regards availability, we do not see how
any nominating convention could hesitate
five minutes between the good. the wealthy,
and the poetic CHILDs and the most ven

The reason assigned for not adopting a
resolution at the Democratic State Convcn-
lion dcnunciatory Of the Electoral Com
mission bill, is that it might. indirectly,
have resulted TO the advantage OF Mr.
SAMUEL J. TILDEN Mr. TILDEN was the
President elect. II was he who was de-
fraudcd of the Office by the Electoral Com
mission bill II that violation OF the Con-
stitution was made very conspicuous In
what is called the platform OF the party
then it was apprehendcd that Mr. TILDES
might be so far identified with Il as TO lead
TO his denomination in 1850. This was the
Wow taken by the wing of the party which
IN the main controlled the Convention. 1t
was this which caused the Convention TO be
dumb on the subject OF the dangerous prece-
dent of an Electoral Commission.
without discussing what the effect Of an
appropriate resolution would have been on
Mr.. TILDEN's pros poets. lot us consider the
position in which the controlling spirits Of
the Convention have placed themselves.
Here was u fragrant nfracton of the Con-
stitution. II was attended with great dam
ger to the liberties of the people. If such n
precedent were established there was an end
of the peoples choosing their own Chief
Executive Magistrate TO dcnounco such
M unconstitutional measure was n duty as
plain and as imperative rs ever rested on
any political party. All this was undisputed
and indsputablc
Love OF the Constitution. love of the
people, demanded clear and terse con-
dcmnation OF the Electoral Commission bill.
Hatred Of an individual forbade it.
Faith 10 the Constitution and the people
was forfeited to indulge a personal animOs-
ity against SAMUEL J. TILpES.

DEvENs, and MCCRARY have already re-
hcarsed in the West, and which SEIZURE
has repeated at Cincinnati. HAwLEY, As
sistant Secretary of tho Treasury, has
been for nearly month on the stump in
Illinois. MCGREw, Sixth Auditor, who has
grown rich in office, and provided for all his
kindred besides, has started for Ohio on n
similar mission. RAuM, Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, is booked for like service.
All the clerks at Washington are to have
special leave OF absence to go homo and
work and vote in October and November for
the Republican ticket.
This is the reform entertainment TO which
the country was invited. From the begin
ming of the Government to the advent OF the
Fraud, all Administrations combined, in
Guiding the cnormities Of Grantism, do not
present such degrading spectacle as that
now witnessed in the civil service. Never

An Invention Wanted in Politics.

Mr., EDISON has invented SO much that
people began to think he could invent
almost anything. II he has got through
with the mysteries of sound he might do
we'll to turn his attention Co an invention
just now very much needed in politics.
People generally prefer voting at every
election to staying at home. They would
like TO vote this autumn. But they are
greatly bothered TO know how to vote.
There arc three parties in the field. all
richly deserving TO be defeated.
Whoever votes for one of them will have
the great satisfaction Of feeling that he
votes against the other two But this feel
ing would be one " immense qualification If
he could vote and vote against all three of
these parties.
II is too late 20 got up fourth party
which would amount to nothing also-and
unless Mr.. Edison can invent some new
method fOr the expression of political scnti-
ments many thousands of voters will have
no satisfactory way " voting this year.
What they feel like doing il To put all three
Of the tickets into the ballot box with No
written on the back 81 every one.
The Democrats have forfeited every claim
to support by winking at the unconstltu-
tional Electoral Commission bill.
