of government by committees, which Is the
Characteristic feature of the French Parlla-
ment. He has not only disciplined disorderly
Bonapartists, but has repeatedly asserted
his authority over the leaders of his own
party-men like DIR. Cl6menceau, Floquet and
Perrin. The consequence has been that he has
been attacked alternately for doing too little anu
for doing too much. The succession Of make
shift Ministries and tho prolongatiOn of
period of political inactiOn have been regarded
with impatence by those who were clamOring
for reform measures such as a new Press law,
a system of education that would be at once
gratuitOus, compulsory and nOn-sectarian,
and the reorganization of the magistracy. The
country has been declared to be ripe for these
progressive measures, and Gambetta' has
been entreated to become Premier and
not keep the country any longer in suspense.
On the other hand, Radicals like ROchefOrt
have denounced the Chamber as political
Vatican where the Pope of 0pportunism
reigns supreme paying no heed to the warli-
ings of universal suffrage or to anything that
takes place outside the Chamber.
Gambetta, however, did not need to be re-
minded by Rochefort that " deafness is not
"politics" No one in the Chamber knows so
well as he what is going on in France. AS
he himself has proclaimed the political gospel
of Opportunism, a reform to he good and
sound must not merely recommend itself to
thinkers it is requisite that the people should
accept it of their own free will; and the best
Republican is not he who cOnceives the grand
est ideal, but he who strives to enforce the
convictions of the Nation. lie would leave
the country free to follow its own
natural tendencies and would not be
in haste to drag it into any
course of action against its will,
or to force his own ideas upon it. In this
spirit of Opportunism he waited until he was
certain that France was ready and anxious
for complete amnesty in order to put an end
to an Improbable agitation. Then he acted
with commanding force. The tombstone"
which he places over 1.-THE crimes of the Com
"munc" is his own stcpping-stone to the
heights of political power.

GAMEET1A IND AMNESTY.

Gambetta has achieved n great triumph. The
Amnesty bill, which he dictated at recent
Ministerial conference, has been passed by n
full vote of the groups of the Left in the
lower Chamber. The Premier, who had shirlkcd
the responsibility of advocating this measure,
was compelled to shift his ground and carry
ont the policy of the President OF the Cham
brr. The Ministry offered no resistance. and
the President of the Republic does not appear
TO have been cOnsulted Gambctta was allowed
to have his way, and the great speech with
which he electrified the Chamber was ordered
to be placarded in every commune. His as
ccndancy in French politics is Teestablishcd.
His popularity with tho masses is restored.
He is again recognized as the master mind Of
the Republic.
If Gambet as prestige has been Obscured
during the last year, it has been because he
has exercised power without assuming official
responsibility. Ministries have been formed
and broken up with his consent, and the pub
lie policy has been directed from his private
room in the Chamber of Deputies, while he
himself has remained in seclusiOn. lie has
governed France through his friends without
being responsible for their mistakes and fail
ures. The President of the Republic has fallen
out of notice. A Gambettist Premier stands
at the head Of q Gambethst Ministry,
and the President of the Senate is
pledged to support the Gambettist ad-

The first days session of the Cincinnati
Convention merely completed the regular pre-
limnary work of organization, and nothing was
done to throw any light upon the chaotic stu-
alton. In the delegation meetings, however,
some progress was made in that direction.
New York decided by rather close vote to
support Payne, and this action gives him the
Ohio delegation, which is ready to throw Thur
man over as no longer an available candidate.
The Bayard movement has received fresh
impetus in the way of substantial aid from
August Belmont, and the canvass for the
Delaware Senator is now well-eQuipped and
is making marked progress. Many of the
Southern delegates, following the lead of Wade
Hampton, have thrown all considerations OF
prudence aside and are enthusiastically sup
porting the only Southern candidate. The

turn. Mr. Randall's friends have determined not
to present his name at first, and will hold him IN
reserve as a compromise candidate to bring
forward in case the Convention gets weary OF
futile ballots for the other candidates. The
suspicion that Mr. Tilden is still the most
formidable dark horse is only partly dispelled
by the action of the New York delegation.
General Hancock's friends make exaggerated
statements of his strength, but he is not placed
by shTewd observers in the front rank of pos
sbe nominees. A combination between Ran
dali and Bayard against Payne is not imprOb-
able An outbreak of street talk for the old
" ticket of 1876" WAS stimulated last night by
the receipt of teegrams from different points
demanding Tidcn's nomination. 1t had the
effect of causing the Indiana delegation TO
assure the New York delegation that Hendricks
would take the second place again on the
ticket with TIld,n. In case nothing comes
of this fresh demonstration the prospects are
that the leading candidates will rank as fol-
lows in the order of their strength on the first
ballot: Bayard, Payne, Hancock and Field.
Probably about twO-thrds of the whole vote
will be distributed between these. four candi-
dates, and the other third split up among a
dozen minor aspirants. A stampede for the
old ticket may, however, occur at any moment.
