The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1878-06-17

Two notable republican conventions have
been held of late whose action may be take n
as indicative of the position of the party in
regard to its president. The convention
In Ohio endorsed Hayes just enough to say
endorse, but in such mild aud spiritless
manner as to be in reality worse than if
nothing had been said. Evidently the re-
DubicaDs of that state, his own state, have
tender regard for the ''swag" but no
great love for the holder of the loot. -
The proceedings of the convention evipced
on the part of goodly number a decided
contempt for the amiable goodness whom
the party had fashioned into a figure head
and placed in the White House. The
nelghboring state Of Michigan, not being
his state, and not being burdened with
favorite son obligations, its convention
took a much more decided position
Although it praised the administration of
the state government as prudent, wise.
honest and economical, none of these pleas
lug and customary explosives were attached
to the administration Of Mr.. Hayes. Their
silence IN regard to the national admins
tratlon is so careful and studied as to viz
tuaily signify contempt if not actual hosti-
Ilty. For year or more Zach Chandler
has remained quietly hidden away from
public sight, and so far as the public
knows has neither interested himself in
national politics Dor the welfare of the ad-
ministration which he was largely instfu-
mental IN bringing into existence. I'm
doubtedly 1t was grievous thing to the
sturdy old wire puller to see himself and
AID friends supperciIiously set aside at
the very outset of Hayes accession to
power, and especially must it have been
gall and NORWOOD to him to see Schurz
made his successor. But his private
griefs are nothing to the public and his
and temperance have no
significance. There is however a
strong significance in his being president
of the state convention and its utter silence
in regard to not expressing appreciation of
the president and his policy. 1t shows
that the republicans as party are hostile
10 that state. and as evidence cf the fact
they not only maintain an expressive
silence in all their resolutions but they
select Chandler of all Others as the official
head of their political proceedings.
