The Able Democracy.

To the Editor of The National Republican,:
SIR: We can, think still rely with much
confidence upon the exceeding ability of the
democratic party in making blundors. Yes
terday in tho state of Indiana there were three
candidates before the state convention at In
dianapois for the nomination for governor
Hon. A. @. Downey, ex;judge of the supreme
court of that state, man Of great probity and
general ability; Franklin Landers, hog mer-
chant, uneducated and illiterate, and Colonel
Isaac p. Gray, variegated politician, formerly
o ADVANTAGEOUS republican. The convention,
presided over by the urbane aud uncertain
Hendricks, nominated Landers, another Blue
Jeans-a man of the rabble and high-cocioo-
rum of the uncombed thousands. l am con-
strained to add that it is possible tho conven-
ton viewed this matter In different light.
1t may have concluded that an ungrammati-
cal candidate with lots of money and those
other qualifications consists better with the
condition and requirements Of the party than
the logical eX;judge, who, to quote from an
uuterrled delegate, is. too id respectable"

To he Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: The anti-third term folks will not let
this question alone, though it is dead and
buried. Look at this General Garfield has
been in public life upward of eighteen years
Secretary Sherman has held office almost from
his youth and is likely to be indefinitely con.
tinued. Mr. Blaine has grown up and grown
fat at the public crib. This is no reflection
upon, but a credit 10 these gentlemen, They
have acquired fame aud helped to make their
country great. In these and all others opposed
TO a third term, such service is virtue. And
1 say, amen. General Grant saved the union.
At its greatest peril, when the armies were In
disorder and the cause well-nigh hopeless,
General Grant brought order out Of chaos and
hope to the people. At the close Of the war
he was persuaded to resign life Office at the
head Of the army to accept Of the presidency.
Retiring from office, he made the circuit Of the
world, hOnored everywhere as no other man
was ever honored, Now, because his friends
desired him for president, IT was terrible sin
aud crime aud a dangerous thing todo. Bah !
The time will come when the pretended third.
term haters will beg Of the retired soldier 10
come 10 the front. The solid 800 at Chicago
represent a compact following, united, firm,
bravo, while the other factions are dissolved
into their original elements Of individual
scIambcrs and scratchers and otiice.holders
Now for the ticket, aud TO the thinnest Of all
thin questions, aud its advocates, for a season
FAREWELL,
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1880-06-11

York has 80; New Jersey, 0; Connecticut O.;
Indiana, Is; Oregon, 3; California, 8. To elect,
1856 votes will be necessary.
THE exalted patriotism Of Messrs. Blaine
and Sherman in deciding-after they saw
they couldn't be nominated-that thoy would
sacrifice themselves in order to defeat
the third term, and save the country, fills
their admirers with unspcakable admiration.
Let us not despair of our beloved land while
such snectaclcs can be witnessed.
THE Boston Traveller relates the following !:
~ am sorry, personally, that your father can
not get the nomination. said a gentleman to
Mr.. Emmons Blaine, the second son of the
senator Monday evening at the Parker house.
But continued the gentleman, your father
will be known as one of the most distin-
guished men of his time, as Webster and Clay
were in theirs. Let him wait awhile and he
will probably get the nomination next time
Thank you responded the young gentleman;
but my fatherhas been distinguished citizen
for some years. You will doubtless remember
that Mr. Webster was put of in the same
manner that you suggest; lie was never nOmi-
nated had he been he would have been
elected"
CONCERNING the charge that Mr.. Garfield
was implicated in the Credit Mobilier scandal
of 1872, the Brooklyn Eagle democratic
journal, has the manliness to say that "al-
though connected with II in minor degree,
his frank statement of his connection with IL
tended to disarm the eensure which over
whelmed some Of those associated with him.
lie has not made great fortune through his
public services. He was man of inexpen.
sivc habits, of orderly life, and it is believed
of moderate fortune. 1t would be hard to con-
vince his congressional associates of any
party that he was not an honest man in u
pecuniary sense" The New York journal Of
Commerce, another democratic paper, also says;
"Of tho whole list of candidates named at the
convention this is undoubtedly the strongest
that could have been made"

NEW YORK THE FIRST IN THE FIELD.

NEW YORK THE FIRST IN TILE FIELD.
The republican state committee of New
York has already issued call for n grand
mass meeting to ratify the Chicago nomina-
tons. 1t will take place at Union square at
the earliest possible moment. Senator CoNK-
LING, we are told, is to lead off with great
speech, and General GRANT will be asked
to send letter or telegram of character
TO inspire the party with fresh courage. We
are glad to see this prompt action of
the republicans of New York, and we
asm will be evoked for q rousing meet
ing. 1t is well to note the nervous
calling for Mr.. CoNKLING to begin
the good work of putting the thirty-fve
electoral votes of his state upon the repub-
lican column. The ink is scarcely dry
upon the sneers against the "boss in the
same columns, which now are looking to
him to putbis hand upon the tiller and take
command ms pilot of the republican ship in
New York. Pennsylvania, too, stands
waiting for her "boss to plan the cnm-
paign and give the signal to advance.
Fortunately for the party in the great
states the men who are thus called upon are
not political doctrinaries; they are political
leaders. They are great as are the states
which follow them. They are partisans,
and the party is above all, for they feel that
it means all that is good for their country
There is no doubt about the response, and
the nervous and uneasy anti-third-term Or
gans may possess their souls in peace. We
only suggest that the readers who have
been fed on pabulum of abuse of Sena-
tors CoNKLING and CAMERON during the
past three months will find the change Of
diet rather sudden, now that they are
served up with Sinking adulation and ner.

The state ORGANIZATIONS.

To The Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: Now that our candidates have been
named, and to elect them there is great doal
of hard work ahead, is there no way that the
powers that be can Dc prevailed on to allow
the different state organizations to organize
and go to work in the interest of our standard
bearers2 Do stir this matter up, and keep
stirring it until we are allowed to pull off our
coats and go to work. G. II. L.

WITH REFERENCE TO STATE oRGANI-
CATIONS.

A correspondent elsewhere asks us to stir
mp the president to rescind his orders against
state organizations of clerks in the depart
ments for political work. We had in
measure lost sight of the fact that Office
holders were prohibited from working in
the field of politics. Having seen great
canvass for presidential nominee, in
which at least one OF the members of the
cabinet was mentioned as possible candi-
date, conducted from beginning to end
without any help from office-holders and
strictly in conformity with advanced civil
service ideas, we had really come to under
value agencies once thought indispensable
in practical politics. Our correspondent
must excuse us. Should we stir up this
matter and succeed in convincing the adj
ministration that clerk in Washington Is
still republican and citizen with perma
nent interests in the question of what party
shall rule the country, some wicked person
might tell Mr.. BARKER, of Massachusetts,
OF Mr.. CURTIS, Of New York, or Mr.. HEN
DERsoN, of Missouri, and we should have
the st. Louis convention reassembling and
resolving.
We advise the clerks in the departments
to 90 to work on the sly. Don't hire bands
of music, don't hang out cry large flags,
don't pass too many and too long and too
eloquent resolutions, don't pay too high
rents for rooms, but just quietly meet to
give few hours week to q campaign in
which they have more at stake than most
citizens. We are pretty sure that if they
will do this the administration will wink
at it, and that is as much as can be ox-
pected from men occupying a very high
moral attitude on the very important ques-
tion Of reform in the civil service, to which
the party is also committed by its recently
adopted platform.

NEW PUBLICATIONS..

THEODORE, OR STAR BY STAR. Philadelphia:
J. b. Lippincott & Co.
This novel is described by cotemporary
as " a novel of the modern English type; well
written, not ovcrrunning with original ideas,
and breathing that gentle spirit of pessimism
so dear to the modern English novelist's
heart" 1t is all of this, and the reader will
have an excellent opportunity of comparing
the saint-like woman who invariably goes
wrong with the atheistical heroine who in-
variably does right. The novel is decidedly
interesting, despite the peculiar tenots of the
author, who belongs, we judge, to the positivist
school. There is, however, no philosophzng
in the book. Such lessons as are taught are
derived from what the different characters do,
rather than from what they say. From the
publishers. For sale by Whitaker.
