Mr. d. c. Henderson. the veteran Editor Of m,
AHegaa Niich.l Journal is authority for the state
neut that the name Republican was given to the
party organized in 1874 to oppose the extension Of
slavery, by Horace Greeley. The Hon. Jacob ".
Howard. one Of the earliest movers in the work Of
forming the party in Michigan, wrote 10 Mr..
Greeley asking bis advice as to a name. Mr.
Greeley consulted with his associate editors. among
whom ut the time was Sir. Henderson, and replied
10 Mr.. Howard recommending the name Republican.
The suggestion was accepted and the designation
adopted IN Michigan was speedily taken uD IN
other States. and by 1855 bad come % be uHIver-
sally recognized throughout the North. IL was
highly appropriate that the man who did more than
anybody else TO spread the ideas upon which the
Republican party was founded should have named
the organization IN Its infancy.

between Iilden and Ewing. He says that TIlden

The experiment of organizing a new party to die
tate candidates to both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties is a novel one to say the least. This
is IN effect what the Executive Committees of the
New-York State Alliance and the State Grange have
determined to do At their meeting in Syracuse
Tuesday they made programme for the c0nyen-
ton of the bodies they represent which meets Oh tho
20tn INST. he programme Is that the convention
should select Republican candidate Tor Governor
and also Democratic candidate, and send commit
tees 10 the two regular conventions TO urge thenom-
nation of these men. III both conventions heed the
advice thus rendered then the members OF the
Grange and Alliance are to vote according TO their
party predictions but if one dominates the can
ddlte and the other does not they to throw aside
their political feelings aud support that candidate,
