The Third district convention for the
nomination of two delegates, to attend
the Republican National Convention
will be held at Hydepark, Apr. 2lst.
The convention is likely to be very thin
ly attended from this section, owing to
the inconvenience of reaching that point
by rail, unless some arrangement is
made for close connections, and to the
fact that there is no excitement in the
contest which will command attendance.
There is o universal desire to promote
the interests of Senator Edmunds, and
if there was any danger of electing del
egates opposed to him the convention
would be full. When it comes to a Sc
cond choice, in case of the withdrawal
or rejection of Senator Edmunds, there
is wide difference of opinion, as to
whom the votes of Vermont shall be
given. In this section, we judge that
nearly every republican will vote for
any republican candidate named, except
Gen. Grant. 1t is a fact, that many
staunch republicans declare emphatically
that they will not support Gen. Gran!
in any event. There are others thai
believe him to be, not only the most fit
but the most available man in the field
We are convinced, not that we are par
ticularly glad to be, that it would be an
unwise move to select delegates whose Sc
cond choice would be Grant. The vari
Gus towns in the district will be entitled
to the same number of delegates as a
the state convention, and we hope eacf
town in this part of the district, will b.
fully represented.

ABOUT NEWSPAPER
SUBSCRIBERS.

There are at least three classes of
subscribers who value and appreciate
the local newspaper. These are women,
old men, and those distant readers who
take the paper for home news. When
a woman really falls in love with a pa
per, and becomes to consider it "my
paper" she will excuse as many faults,
as a girl will in lover. To her it is
all the news, the correct exponent Of
public opinion, the law and the ten COM
mandments. She makes it, not only
the friend, but the necessity Of the
household. When it is labelled in
her name, she always promptly pays
for it. OF all our delinqents, few
are women, and never, except in the
the case of death. have we lost anything
by lady subscribers. We have good
reasons to believe that many male de-
linquents are urged to promptness on
account of "my wife" Publishers,
while they approximate close to perfec-
ton, sometimes make mistakes, and
once in while fail to give lady sub

that the leaders of the third term move
ment have from the beginning been hos
tile to Blaine. They defeated him in
1876; they have never trusted him since
and Mr.. Cameron is reported to have de-
clared in Washington three or four weeks
ago, that while he thought it possible
that he might feel obliged to withhold
the ex-President's name from the conven-
ton and take up another candidate, he
was opposed to Blaine under any circum-
stances. Mr.. Blaine's popularity is very
great and widespread, and this is another
reason why the machine leaders would
take up another man. To take Blaine
would be confession of defeat to beat
Blaine with Edmunds would be an as
sertion of their power within the party
and would in a manner rehabilitate the
machine leaders. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Edmuuds would make very strong
candidate, HIS nomination would be
fair warning to the Democrats that they
cannot afford to trife.

Mr.. George William Curtis44ll be-
lieves that the political issue of an i'm
mediate future is to be civil service re-
form. He is constrained to admit that
the present administration has fallen in
its performances far short of its prom
ises, and that the feeling among the
leading republicans is by no means ia
vOrable to such change; but he finds
that the relief is steadily growing among
the younger element in the republican
party, and is convinced that the day
when their wishes must be respected
cannot be far distant. In his opinion
civil service reform may be to the re-
publican party what human liberty was

it will split-and out of the ruins there

tality and high moral purpose that the

days.

There will be twelve Republican
State Conventions during April to elect
delegates to Chicago. Connecticut leads
off on the 7th, followed by Kentucky,
Missouri and Iowa on the 18th, Massa-
chusetts on the 18th, Georgia, Oregon
and Virginia on the 2lst, Arkansas,
Ohio, and South Carolina on the 28th,
and California on the 29th. They will
elect GAG delegates, or nearly One-third
of the whole Convention. Eight States
have already elected 226 delegates, SO
that by May nearly twO-thirds of the
Convention will have been chosen. 1t
is evident, however, that unless the sit
uatiOn changes rapidly during the pre-
sent month, no candidate will have
gained delegates enough to make his
nomination certain. The Grant and
Blaine forces are likely to be so evenly
divided that neither will be able to show
lead until nearly the whole Conven-
ton has been chosen.

REDFIELD PROCTOR.
RESIDENT HAYES.

The N. 7. Tribune IN giving an
account of the recent visit of President
Hayes to New York, at the opening of
an Art Museum. thus truthfuly speaks
of the change in public sentiment in
regard to the President:
People have not only forgotten
great deal of the passion and prejudice
of the electoral struggle since 1877,
but they have also learned a great deal
about the secret history of that contest,
and they know that the Inauguration
of Ruthford Hayes was the defeat of an
infamous conspiracy to purchase the
Chief Magistracy of the United States.
They have acquired a high opinion of
the President. They have found him
earnest. just, sincere, patriotic, unselfsh
moderate, frank and firm. Whatever
differences of opinion may prevail about
the policy of the Administration, there
is general respect for the Presidents
character, and an absolute confidence
in his integrity. 1t is the highest pos
sible praise of a man in his position
that he has served nearly full term
without being slandered, and that the
popular esteem for him increases year
by year.
The party of which he is the official
head has also advanced in public favor
during the past three years. He found
it weakened and disheartened by Sc
we're struggle; there were bitter dis
putes among its leaders, both about the
past and about furture, and there was
general expectation that the Dem
ocracy were soon coming back to power,
bent upon unsettling everything. To-
day how different is the prospect. The
accomplishment of resumption, which
will be remembered as the great work
Of this Administration, has put new
face on our affairs. The country is pros
porous and contented. Demagogues and
fanatics no longer inspire alarm. Every
where the Republicans are united,
strong. and steadily gaining; every
where the disorganizing Democracy
shows weakness and decay. The Presi'
dent may we'll feel not only that the
interests of the Nation have been cared
for under his guardianship, but that
the party too has lost nothing at hi
hands.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR
WASHINGTON, March so, 1880.

WASHINGTON, March so, 1880.
1t is my purpose at this writing to
give your readers a short account of
chivalric sensation recently enacted in
that fossilized old neighbor of ours. Alex
andria. A gentleman residing there but
engaged in business in Washington. two
weeks ago started weekly newspaper
IN Alexandria, devoted to the best in
terests of that section. 1t advocated
the introduction of new blood and new
brains, and getting rid of some of the
old fogy notions, born of slavery and
rebellion. One number was issued,
teeming with live thoughts and promises
for the future. In other words it was
Republican paper. The editor was call
ed upon night or two after its first ap-
pearanee at his residence, when DR..
Foster, the editor, presented himself was
knocked down, without word or reason.
The parties were known and arrested,
but were released on the ground that the
evidence was not sufficient to hold them.
A week elapsed and the forms were
again ready for the printer when he was
compelled to relinquish the job under
threats. The editor then sent the forms
to Washington where the paper was
printed and returned to Alexandria on
the boat, in charge of special messen-
ger. These same chivalrous sons of
Virginia learning that the papers were
Ito be shipped on a certain boat. came to
Washington and returning on the same
boat, with drawn revolvers robbed the
messengers of the papers and threw them
overheard. The parties went to the
police headquarters in Alexandria and
gave themselves up but were informed
that they, the police, had no authority
to detain them. This is freedom of the
press within seven miles of the National
capitol. A newspaper suppressed with
the connlvance of the officers of that city
government. This is the liberation
Republicans receive within seven miles OF
this city if outspoken in advocacy of the
true principles of free and enlightened
government. 1t would be we'll for the
whole people of the North, or those Of
them who have an idea of migrating tc
the Southern States to read the "Fools
Grand" and ponder it we'll, for every
word of it is true, as every man who has
gone South to live and invested his mon
ey can testify.
There is very little of Congressional
news to report. Yesterday was bill day
in the house, and $50 bills were intro
duced few of which will ever be hear(
from again. The rest of the day, an,
half Of last week was given to the con
sideration of Diplomatic and consula
appropriation bill. but no vote has ye
been reached upon it. The Democrat
seem determined to make blunders thi
session, and as proof of this assertion
Mr.. Springer will call up the Curtin
Yocum contested election case to day
This case is similar to the others neN
before the House, and the comments
have heretofore made upon heWashburn
