ment of the Republican party is making
fight for clean politics. but, with Col.
Hooker's well known ideas of political
management, his election by the con-
vention cannot be regarded as other than

Nothing in the convention indicated the
exact preferences of the delegates, be-
yond that of Senator Edmunds, though
it is supposed the second choice would
be either Grant or Blaine. The resolu-
tons passed and speeches made had the
true republican ring. The convention
was harmonious and everybody felt that
with any good candidate the party can
win great victory in November.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The Springfield Republican says !:
"The spring trade in dry goods at New
York and other important points is ex-
cellent, and perhaps the most encourag-
ing feature of it is the fact that an un-
usually large proportion of the purchases
are for cash. The advance of twenty or
thirty per cent in domestic goods in the
past few months does not dampen the
eagerness of buyers, and many of the
great stocks have been reduced very low.
Meanwhile the factories in New Eng
land have about all they can do, the
quotations of their shares have advanced
rapidly, and their employees have in
many cases received material advances
in their wages. The sales of prints
have thus far been double those of last
spring, and the stocks of print cloths at
Fall River and Providence are small,
with strong market. The Boston wool
trade, which took such remarkable
start months ago, when almost every
thing else was dull, has kept up ever
since, and was active last week. The
success of the special sales at London,
which represent the Australian and 9TH
er distant clips, has given the business
further stregnth, and there can be no re-
naming doubt by the legitimate and
wholesome character of the demand for
this commodity.

mated by Bengal lights with the word

the Mineral college. After the passage
of Grant, an immense procession formed

THE STATE CONVENTION.

Our Vermont State Republican con-
vention was held at Montpelier on We'd
nesday with very large attendance Of
delegates. Gen. Grout of Barton was
chosen chairman of the convention, and
struck the key note of Vermont senti-
ment in brief speech, which he made
on taking the chair. On proceeding to
the choice of delegates, ex-Gov. John
Gregory Smith of St. Adams, Mr.. Fred
erick Billings of Woodstock, and ex-
Gov. John w. Stewart of Middlebury
we're elected delegates-at-large, without
contest. Col. George W. Hooker was
elected the fourth delegate on ballot
which gave 245 votes for Hooker, 1876
for Col. John B. Mead of Randolph, and
7 scattering. Judge Poland was put in
nomination for the fourth delegate, but
withdrew when it appeared there was
to be contest. Col. Hooker's name
was agreed upon for presentation by the
Windham county delegation, and was
presented to the convention by Hon. j.
l.. Martin of Londonderry. No instruc.
tions were given the delegation, but its
members are set down as strongly for
Edmunds. The platform adopted does
not mention the name of any candidate
for the presidency, but simply afirms
the necessity of maintaining the princi.
pies of the Republican party. A reso'
luton, drawn by Hon. G. ". Willard Of
Montpelier, and presented by Mr.. H. A
Huse, which declares strongly for Mr.
Edmunds, was, however, enthusiastically
adopted. The result of the convention
in this direction, is, therefore, all thai
could have been desired.
The choice of Messrs. Smith, Billing
and Stewart for delegates at large wa
very creditable to the state, but whel
the convention condescended to take u
Col. Hooker, it showed how easy 1t is t.
descend from the sublime to the ridicu

There are a good many voters in the
country, including some democrats, who
would be glad to see the presidential
question settled by the continuance of
the Hayes administration for four years
more. This class includes large pro-
portion of those people who favor Grants
election if any change is necessary, fear
ing to trust the country in the hands of
an untried executive, however worthy.
This is not feeling to be encouraged in
our view, but it is one of the present
facts and as such deserves consideration.

Hale's investigating committee con-
tinue the examination of the Maine
election returns at Augusta daily,
and several important irregularities are
discovered, notably in the case of the
towns of Buck6eld and Brownfeld,
where the names of the towns and coun-
ties we're omitted in filling up the blanks,
thus rendering the returns fatally de-
fective. Some unauthorized persons,
however, after the errors, filled out the
blanks, and retured the fusion county
officers as elected. Changes in the re-
turns from the town of Hebron were also
shown to have been made in the interest
of the fusionists. 1t is reported that
startling disclosures of fraud will BE-
shown in certain cases from Washington
county, where the evidence will not only
implicate state officials, but leading flu

HEIGHT OF MEANN ESS.

A Washington correspondent thus de-
scribes little incident which illustrates
the true spirit of bourbon Democracy.
The house had passed a bill to admit
duty free such contributions as benevo-
lent Englishmen had sent for the colored
refugees IN Kansas, and the question
on occurrence came up in the senate.
The correspondent says: 1.-The bill con-
tanned provisions against its abuse, but
Senator Voorhees,, who has just now the
negro exodus on the brain, objected.
Senator Conkling made one of his elo-
quent appeals to the senate to alleviate
suffering by removing obstacles in the
way of charity. Senator Thurman re-
piled, saying that white emigrants went
into the woods without aid, and these
negroes might. Senator Bruce, the col
ored Senator from Mississippi, made an
impressive little speech, in which he al
luded to what is being done for Ireland
and expressed his thanks to the liberal
English people who have sent clothing
to the destitute EN- grants in Kansas.
Voorhees, was finally disposed to with
draw his objection, when Pendleton re.
newed it against earnest appeals from
Herman. Pendleton wanted to speak
but Edmunds objected, as the senator
from Ohio had objected. to the consider
alton of the bill. There was quite g
circus for few moments, dozen sena
ators wanting to speak at once; but the
senate finally adjourned without actor
on the bill for the relief of the coloreC
emigrants. Those charitable Briton
who have sent them comfortable clothin,
for winter use will not feel gratifiet
when they learn that Democratic sena
tors have put an embargo on the clothinI
in the New York custom house.

The Republican National Convention
which will meet In Chicago, June 2,
will consist of 756 delegates, majority
only of whom is required to nominate.
Two delegates are allowed for each Rep
resentative and Senator in Congress, and
two from each Territory and the Dis
trict of Columbia. There are 293 Rep
resentatives, 76 Senators, 8 Territories
and the District, and that number doub'
led makes 756. 1t will thus require 979
votes to nominate.

The Boston Herald says; "Leaving
Maine out of the case, that state being
sure to 60 for Mr.. Blaine, the other FIVE
New England states could make quite a
show of strength in the national cOnven-
ton if they would concentrate on sim
gle candidate, say Edmunds of Vermont,
as suggested by the Springfield Repubh-
can. These five states have sc delegates,
a very handsome nucleus for candidate
against whom there are no serious OBJ
jectiOns, aud who. it is conceded, would
carry the full strength Of the party in
the doubtful states. Mr.. Hayes began
with only one state, Ohio, in the Gin
cinnati convention, but that was enough
to keep any candidate in the front rank
from a nomination. Edmunds is clean
and one of the ablest men in public life.

The doings of the Vermont Republic
cans yesterday ought not to be over
looked ON account of the larger space
occupied by the proceedings of their
New-York brethren. Some excellent
resolutions were passed at Montpelier
among them one commencing Senator
Edmunds as a suitable Presidential
candidate. The high regard in which
Mr.. Edmunds is fully deserved by his
long career in public life. He is one Of
the wisest and truest of the Republican
leaders who have played for many years
conspicuous parts upon the broad stage
of National politics. Probably he has
no chance of being nominated at Chicago
but if the Convention chooses as able
and patriotic man. it will make NJ
mistake. Tribune.

There is no surer indication that the
present tide of business prosperity has
come to stay long time than the rise
in real estate here in New York. This
kind of property is not subject to sudden
fluctuations, and cannot be forced up by
a mere temporary or fictitious activity
in trade. The increase in the rentals Of
stores and offices down town, and the
brisk market for building-lots and dwell
ings uptown, show plainly that the bu-
siness of the metropolis is in healthy
condition. Among the purchasers Of
houses are said to be number of CAPT.
talists from California, who have con-
cluded to transfer themselves and theil
possessions to place where the Kear'
neys and Kallochs of the Pacific Coast
cannot apply their Communistic expert
