enerous, almost superhuman, exertions

generous, almost superhuman, exertions
that President Hayes was carried
through. The recent events in Maine
prove him to be skilful and patient
leader. Those tricks may be tried
again. In Pennsylvania, though the
state convention instructed for ex-Presi-
dent Grant. Mr.. Blaine is the popular
favorite. In New York his friends are
multiplying every day. The first ques-
ton is. not whom the leading politicians
want but whom the people want. If the
people want ex-President Grant. let him
be nominated if they want Mr.. Blaine,
nominate him.
1t is true that the first thing is not
the man. 1t is that he be represent
alive man, and be true to Republican
principles be determined to foil this
new rebellion; to give the colored citi-
Zen his rights. and to keep back the reb-
ell hordes from the treasury of the nation;
and that he can be chosen. Four years
of Democratic legislation in this country;
of manipulating the census-returns and
making census appointments; of
granting rebel claims; of putting ex-reb-
els in national authority; of wiping out
war legislation. all of which is imminent,
are to be resisted to the uttermost. If
Grant should be chosen staudard-bearer,
let there be no hating soldiers; if
Blaine. let all Republicans say at the
ballot-box, Amen
1 know there are those who claim the
right to do what Fitz-John Porter is be-
lieved to have done at the second battle
of Bull Run; that is to defeat a great
and holy cause, wound the country with
what may be death wound, because
they do not like the leader, or the man
ner in which the leader has been selec-
ted. Such men only cashier themselves,
and soon desert to the enemy, whom
they are willing indirectly to help.
After the nomination of President Hayes,
there was one great chiefaain who sulked
IN his tent, and let his own state, piv-
otal state, 60 against the cause for which
he had dealt so many valiant blows.
Another great chieftain, to whom the
nomination seemed to belong. rose from
sick bed to congratulate the success
full candidate, even before his success
had been announced, and then chival
rously devoted himself, at the Imminent
risk of his life, to the work Of securing
his election. Which was the noblel
man ? Which was the truer Republican

George William Curtis, editor of Hdr-

Senator Conkling, having been called for
ut Il public meeting in New York the

An Ingenious Man CornereI.

Harrisburg Patriot.
The ingenious Mr.. Smith. of the Phila-

decming it necessary to write Il letter
pledging himself against them General
Hancock refusing to write such a letter
and then answer whether it is safe to elect
Gen. Hancock" Now will the ingenious
EIr. Smith tell the truth and shame the
devil by admitting these facts ? 1, The
"two Thousand millions pending" is \
gross cxaggeration, embracing at it does
the same bills repeated Il dozen times in
different sessions OF Congress and i'll
both branches; 2. If the cOnstitu-
ton does not bar all Of these claims
the Republican party neglected its duty
when in power by failing to amend the
constitution SO that it would bar them ;

crosses Oemocratic) passed claims of
every description amounting to $780,

The Sin of ScctiOnaliSn..

The powerful editoria! of the New
York Erening Post, which We reprint in
full today, indicates the tremendous
and irresistible drift of public sentiment
against the party which comes before the
country upon no issue but one OF section-
al hate and malignant misrepresentation.
The Erenisg Post, the old paper Of Will
lam Cullen Bryant, and the inheritance
of his son-in-law, Parke Goodwin, is the
ablest and most conservative Republican
paper in that city, the best representative
of its culture and business interests. Be-
fore it's rapier thrusts Mr.. Conkling' S
stuffed club is a very awkward weapon of
controversy. The Post speaks for patri-
Otic and sensible men who know that the
war has been over fifteen years. that the
South has 10 thought of fighting anew a
fight which brought desolation to them,
that the material us we'll as the moral
interests Of the country demand peace,
and that the people of the whole coun-
try, beginning with Maine, are ready to
rebuke those who would trample under
foot the white roses of peace growing up
through the ashes of war.
Every intelligent man knows just what
a Pennsylvania Republican writes to the
Ncr Era that the South is entirely ready
to welcome to all the privileges of free
citizenship men of whatever party who
go there for an honest purpose. Its vel
fare, like that of the whole country, lies
in this direction, and its upbuilding must
come from this source. Instead Of de-
riding the poverty of the South and the
paucity of its resources, Mr.. Conkling
and his kind would do well to go South
in response to the invitations they have
| had-see for themselves that what they
say is not true and promulgate for their
party L policy that has some breadth OF
craftsmanship and some traceof civiliza-
ton. But long before they rise TO that
height they will have no party.

LET US HAVE PEACE.
And Observe the Amenities OF Good
NeiSn5Ors.


New Era.
The amenities of politics, we are pleased
to note, is a growing feature Of the present
campaign. The Wilmington Nees Rep.)
says that I" one CT the pleasing features of
the Democratic parade, on Saturday even
ing, was the fact that as each club passed
the headquarters of the Young Mems Re-
publican club it was heartily checred by 4
delegation Of the latter club that stood on
the sidewalk. This shows that while men
may differ i'll political matters it is not ne
cessary that the common courtesies of life
should be forgotten" And our respected
Democratic fellow citizen, Newton Light
ner, esq.,, proposed to his family to join
his Republican neighbors in illuminating
for the procession on Friday evening,
which was done in '' q modest and becom-
ing way" a reporter. evidently unable
to comprehend such courtesy from polit-
ical opponent, having stated that Mr..
Lightner ''thought it was the Democrats
who were passing his residence " and il
Illuminated by mistake, Mr.. Lightner had
| the manliness to avow the real motive over
his own signature. And We trust similar
| amenities of politics will not he lacking
throughout this exciting campaign.
Tho Pittsburgh Example.
The following excellent order has been
issued by the Democratic clubs command
er of Pittsburgh. We should he glad to
see similar action taken by both the com,
manders here, and il Coils. McAlcllcn and
Fordney vii! confer Oh the subject We be.
licve their action will meet with general
approval
All marching clubs parading singly arc
hereby cautioned against attempting to
cross the Republican marching clubs
whilst on parade. Should their route at
any time carry them against the marching
clubs of the Republican party they will
halt till the street is clear.
Single clubs of both parties meeting
should extend every courtesy. The pub,
lie peace and the lives of the men arc OF
sufficient Importance to urge every cap
tain to the greatest care when par,ding
his club. No necessity exists for bitter
personal cnmity toward those differing in
party opinion.
An effort will DC made to 50 arrange
general demonstrations Us not to conflict
with each other. The carrying of con-
cealcd weapons, or any other weapons
than the uniform Of the club, must he
prevented, and no man should be al
lowed to parade when under the influence
