THERE was curious omission in the res.
olutions of the Ohio Convention as tele-
graphed over the country. Nothing was
said about instructing the delegates-at large
for Sherman, and those who heard the reso-
lutions read in the Convention were per-
picked at the oversight The original draft
was hunted up, and the missing resolution
of instruction found all right. 1t was writ
ten on smaller sheet of paper and had
slipped from its place when the copy was
sent to the telegraph office.

THE Argus seems to think that President
Hayes has Changed 'front.' in mis- latest
veto message. Has it forgotten that in his
first veto year ago, the President said of
The practice of attaching riders to appropria-
ton bills?
If it were understood that to attach to an
appropriation measure irreley ant to the gem
eral object of the bill would imperil and prob
ably prevent its final passage and approval, a
valuable reform in the parliamentary practice
of Congress would he accomplished.

The London Saturday Review sharply
criticises one of the most disagreeable atfec-
tations of the time when it says that mo
fairly intelligent observer can have failed to
notice that peculiar classical or pagan re-
vival of our own day, which is present
and patent fact. Conspicuous among the
literary exponents, in prose and verse, OF
this pagan or naturalistic reaction, are wri-
ters like Mr.. Pater, Mr.. Symonds and Mr..
Swinburne, the latter of whom strikes the
keynote of the movement in such poems as
Hymn to Proserpine,' and 'Our Lady OF
Pain,' while we recognize in the obscene
rhapsodies of Walt Whitman-which are as
dull as ditch~ater and a good deal dirtier-
the shout of its drunken helot. 1t would be
going much too far to say that all able au-
thors are avowed and aggressive atheists,
but it is quite true that good many writer's

The Assault on the Secretary

The malignant hostility with which the
New YorksTimes pursues Secretary Sher-
man excites the surprise of all men, and the
indignation of those whose sense of justice
is not dilled by personal haired OF the Sec
retary or by partisan zeal. The latest ex-
plot of the Times in the way of abuse is to
f'aAAish g mass of letters -ingeniously ar
ranged and Introduced so as to convey the
impression that Colonel Moulton, Mr.. Sher-
mans brother-in-law, has been concerned in
securing large and profitable government
contracts, and has been enabled so to do by
the aid and connivance of the head of the
Treasury Department. That Colonel Moul-
ton has been guilty Of wrong-doing the evil
dence is the slightest, and is mostly in the
line of far-fetched inference. That the Sec
retary afforded him facilities for securing
contracts at rates unjust to the government
and to competitors there is not the slightest
shadow of proof. The attack upon Mr..
Sherman is so violent and so utterly without
known provocation, that it cannot injure
the Secretary. What it will very likely do is
to awaken sympathy in his behalf. His
character is too high to suffer from unsup.
ported insinuation, and the memory of his
meritorious services will not readily be for
gotten by the people of this country-cer
tainly not at the instigation of anonymous
slandertrs.
The only sufferer in this business will b.
the Times. Men will believe, perhaps un
charitably but not unnaturally, that it has ;
personal quarrel with the Secretary, that i
has received some affront at his hands, ant
is seeking an unscrupulous revenge. Th'
bitter pertinacity with which it has assailet
him lends color to the supposition, and i
will find great difficultyin persuading peo
pie that it has been guided in whole or evel
in part by solicitude for the welfare of tn
country. Its own reputation is in question
not Secretary Sherman's.

THE Chicago Tribune of Monday counts
125 Blaine, 81 Grant and Washburne del
egates elected to the Illinois Republican Con-
vention, and says: "The statement attribu-
ted to General Logan, that the sections of
the State where the sentiment for Grant is
FROM is not sustained by the facts. The
counties where conventions have been held
number thirty-seven, and are about equally
divided between the northern and southern
sections of the State; and Grants strength
is greatest in the southern or Democratic
counties. with the single exception of the
region about the ex-Presidents home, COM
prising two counties. Il is not true that
General Grant is unpopular in his own State,
as the New York Times despatch charges
Mr.. Blaine's friends with attempting to
show. But it is true that there is in Illinois
a determined hostility to third term of the
Presidency for any man, and profound ap-
prehension of defeat in the event of Grants
nomination. There are one hundred and
two counties in Illinois, of which more than
third have held conventions. Conventions
are still to be held in sixty-fve counties, Of
which Cook is entitled to ninety-two Of the
six-huRdred and ninety-two delegates who
will compose the State Convention. 1t is
quite probable that the complexion of the
Cook county delegation will determine that
of the State Convention"
