SIT. PheIps's letter.

IN his letter elsewhere published we believe
that "A Republican" is unjust to Mr. f. J.
Phelps in intimating that that gentleman was
actuated by any unworthy motive of politi-
cal aspiration in the letter frora his pen which
was published in the Reformer of last week.
We cannot agree with Mr.. Phelps's political
ideas when he processes to look for any hope
to the country from the triumph of the Dem
ocratic party, but We are sure that he has no
itching TO be the Democratic nominee for
governor of Vermont, and that he would not
have, even were it possible that lie could be
elected With our correspondents character
ization of the 'impudeLt' claim that Mr..
Tilden was honestly elected four years ago
Se 10, however. fslly agree. Every inteli-
gent and fair minded man knows that, in
stead of having been honestly elected and
ihen cheated out of his election Mr.. Tilden
only received the vote Of several Of the South
srn States by virtue OF the most wicked vio-
hence aud bun-dozing In free and fair
election, North and South Carolina. Louisi-
ana, Florida, and Mississippi are Just as GER
tainly Republican States as are Vermont OF
Massachusetts, and it was only because the
black Republican voters were kept away from
the polls by shotgun, raw-hide and hang
ing policy, that the vote of any one of those
five States was either doubtful or counted for
the Democratic candidates. 1t was only by
means of such tactics, which would disgrace
even a race of sayages, that the electoral
commission became necessary. 1t is enough
to make any Republicans blood boil to hear
fraud charged on his party in the face of
facts like these If Mr.. Phelps had found
space TO condemn this system of fraud and
violence in his party's tactics, his letter would
have been much more complete and effective.
There win be opportunity hereafter to note
the fact, if necessary that, politically, Sena-
tor Bayard stands for precisely the same prin-
ciples as does Senator Ben Hill of Georgia,
and that the suffrage of northern men could
be given to one of these men just as consist
emily as to the other.

TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION OF THE CoNyEN-

ING.
At / O'Clock p. NJ, on Wednesday Don
Cameron called the convention to order. and
Rev. DR.. Kttredge Of Chicago offered prayer.
Cameron then delivered short speech in
which he expressed the hope that harmony
might prevail, and that man might be nom
mated who should command the respect of
the whole civilized world. After his speech
the call for the convention was read by the
secretary and then, following the instruc-
lions Of the committee, Cameron nominated
Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts for Temporal
ry chairman, the mention of Mr.. Hoar's
name being received with an aye" which
made the rafters ring In his speech on
taking the chair Mr.. Hoar briefly reviewed
the history and present standing of the two
parties, and closed by promising to perform
his duties fairly, and without respect of per
sons. He was warmly applauded. Then
followed the roll-call Of States and territories,
during which the chairman of each delega-
ton named its member Of each of the various
committees. little breeze of excitement
arose over the fact that Utah was omitted
from the list by mistake of the secretary, but
with this exception the proceedings were en-
tirely smooth and amicable, and at P. N.
an adjournment was had to IL o'clock Thurs
day morning. Previous to the adjournment
it was voted, on motion of Senator Logan Of
Illinois, to issue 800 tickets to the convention
to the members of the veteran soldiers asso-
citation then in the city. These were distrib-
uted to the men minus a leg or an arm, and
not to the able-bodied veterans

morning was largely attended, PC States be-

cy divided the meeting so closely that it was
only carried by the aid of General Stewart

There was trial Of strength in the con-

business was accomplished. The convention
was called to order at 11:lj. 1t being announc-
ed that there would be no report on contest
ing delegations till p NJ, Mr.. Conkling
moved to take a recess till P. NJ. Mr.. Hale
of Maine opposed recess and carried his
point on a viva voce vote. The permanent
organization was then completed by making
Mr.. Hoar permanent chairman, and the cleo
ton of vice presidents and secretaries
Mr.. Frye moved a recess to . P. NJ. which
was carried. Mr. Henderson Of Iowa moved
that the committee on rules be requested to
report. Gen Sharpe of New York moved as
a substitute that the committee on credentials
be requested to report also. Mr.. Conkling
spoke in support of the substitute. The roll
was called amid great excitement, the Grant
men voting for the substitute and the anti
Grant men against it. No attention was paid
to the unit rule, each delegate voting for him
self. The substitute was beaten by 3lS yeas,

Memorial Day has been observed here
for the last ten years, and at no time have all
its arrangements been more satisfactorily
planned and carried out than upon last Satur-
day. The procession formed at the town
hall and marched TO the Baptist church, where
about 500 were seated, many being unable to
gain admission. The exercises at thu church
were music by the choir, prayer by Rev E.
}. Ward, etc. Rev. S. b. Petteugiu, presi-
dent of the day, said he liked this voluntary,
spontaneous way Of celebrating the day. He
was happy 10 introduce w. l. Buruap as the
speaker, soldier, and good soldier, too.
Mr. Burnap alluded very pleasantly to the
satisfaction it gave him to b. in Grafton the
place he loved in childhood, aud which he
still loved. He gave most interesting aud
acceptable address. There we're words of
comfort and cheer TO those whose friends had
fallen upon the battle field aud wise sug-
gestions with regard to making permanent
this Union which the soldiers died to save.
At the close Of these exercises the procession
reformed and marched to the cemetery the
ladies bearing flowers to decorate the desiR
mated graves. q.
The building near the post Office is being
repaired to be used by the Masonic lodge.

The publication of The PHOENIX has been
delayed FROM Friday afternoon to Saturday
morning in the hope to be able to announce
the result of the Chicago convention. The
contest is one of unprecedented length, how
ever, and balloting has not even begun. At
ihis distance it looks as though the delay was
part of the policy OF the Grant men, and
that they are proceeding with great caution,
ia the determination to be able to name the
Successful man, if their own candidate can

Mr.. f. J. Phelps of Burlington has written
a long political letter bristling with public
virtue, of which this is a sample Gov.
Tilden received at the last election a very
large and aattering support. That he was
honestly elected and then cheated out of the
Office is 10 longer a matter of dispute" For
first attempt at Democratic letter writing
this is not bad. The Democratic idea of hon
esty covers the violence, fraud and murder
in Mississippi and other Southern States
which were forced to vote for Tilden in spite
of heavy Republican majorities. According
TO Phelps the votes of these bulldozed States
were honestly cast for Tilden, and honestly
elected him. Mr.. Phelps is considered an
honest man, but may the Lord defend US
from men whose views of honesty are like
his And Mr. Phelps adds that the hoHtst
election of Iilden and his having been cheat
ed out of his office lis no longer a matter of
dispute" What does the man mean? Does
he mean to assert that nobody now disputes
this impudent assertion? Perhaps he only
means that he himself considers it no longer
a matter Of dispute, but his words'imply that
even the Republicans admit it, and any such
implication is as ridiculous as it is false
"Chtdttd, eli cheated by whom? Why
by justices Of the Supreme Court of the
United States and United States Senators,
one Of the latter of whom is Mr. Phelps's
townsman, Judge Edmunds. These were
the chats! Is not Mr.. Phelps a little asham-
ed to make such charge If not, ought
be not to be! Ought he TO practice any
longer before such corrupt judges? But
then, it is understood that Mr.. Phelps is in
training for the Democratic nomination for
Governor Of Vermont. His letter proves him
first-class candidate and the people will be
glad to get chance at him. In his catalogue
of presidential candidates, of whom the dis
unionist Bayard is his favorite, he makes no
mention Of Mr.. Tildtn's kOHesty or Of the
cipher dispatches. But probably he sees no
harm in the income tax scandal, or in Til
den's attempt to buy electoral votes. Hurrah
for Phelps! REPUBLICAN.
