National conventions are not always
logical; but the Chicago delegate,
might prove that they are both legica
and sagacious by nominating George
F. Edmunds of Vermont as the repub
lIcan candidate for president of United
States.-[N. Y. Evening Post.
Mr.. Hendricks has declined again the
nomination for vice-president which nc
one had offered him. Mr.. Hendricks
does not enjoy being forgotten, and
proposes, apparently, to keep in the
public eye by insisting periodically that
he really must withdraw from it.

Freeman j. Fithian, speaking of Sec
rotary Sherman, said that in all the
great emergencies the country had
known, God had always sent proper
man to pull it through. He sent Wash
ingtOn and he sent Lincoln, and when
there was an emergency here a few
years ago in reference to the finances,
Sherman came forward and built up
the stability of the National credit.

E. J. Hartshorn of Emmetsburg, Ia,
writes to the Montpelier Waterman
that Edmunds was the first choice OF
scores" at the Iowa convention, who
so expressed themselves to him, and
that his name was loudly cheered by
the convention. The Edmunds men
had to vote with the Blaine men to
beat Grant.
The men who have been confident OF
Grants nomination have counted on the
solid votes of Pennsylvania, New York
and Illinois, and the nearly solid vote
of the South. 1t is morally certain that
New York and Pennsylvania will di-
vide. The primaries.in Illinois are elect
ing lots of Blaine delegates to the state
convention, and a majority of the Tex
as and Georgia delegations prove to be
against him. The spontaneity of the de-
mand for third term is getting ridicu-
lous.
The proposed plan for a change in
the management at West Point, and re-
lieving Gen. Schofield of the command,
will not be very agreeable to Schofield,
but is a sensible move, nevertheless.

Dog Eat Dog.

For several years an infamous paper
has been printed in San Francisco called
the Chronicle. Infamous because no
mans reputation nor any woman's char
acter was safe from its reckless as
saults. The paper has been managed
by the De Young brothers, of whom
Charles De Young was the moving
spirit. When the Rev. Isaac S. Kalloch,
of unsavory reputation about Boston
25 years ago, came into notoriety as a
saRdlot politician and candidate fol-
mayor of San Francisco last summer
the Chronicle assailed his private char
acter in the grossest manner. Later, in
one of his public speeches, Kalloch re-
piled to De Young in kind, and said
Charles De Young was the son of har.
lot-which may have been true, anG
may not. This kind of repartee wa,
too much for De Young. He could cal
names, but could not endure to b,
called names.
The rest Of the story is familiar to ou
readers. One day last August De YOun.
drove in close carriage to the build
ing where he knew KalIoeh was, sen
in a messenger to KallOch saying lad!
was in carriage at the door wishing t,

speak with him. Upon answering the
summons, and when within few feet
of the carriage, De Young parted the
curtains where he was in ambush, and
shot Kalloch, without the slightest
warning. The ball penetrated his chest,
and the wound was thought to be fatal ];
but he finally recovered. De Young
was never punished.
Soon after, Kalloch was elected may
or of San Francisco. A few weeks ago
pamphlet appeared in that city re-
viving some of Kalloch's unsavory east
ern history. AS this appeared simulta-
neOusly with the return of Charles De
Young from the east, the two things
were put together, whether rightfully
or not, the public don't know At any
rate, last Friday, Mr.. Kalloch's son
also a clergyman-walked into the
Chronicle office and fired five shots at
Charles De Young, the last of which
was fatal, and from which he died in
short time. Young KallOch was arrest
ed. His father disclaims all knowledge
of OF completely in the affair.
This is the whole story. De Young
shot Kalloch with intent to murder,
and nearly succeeded, and there was no
prospect of any penalty ever attaching
thereto. Kalloch shot De Young with
same intent, and succeeded. "What is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the gan
der.n This whole bad business is the
natural outgrowth of reckless, malicious
personalities in journalism. When a
few more De Youngs are killed, there
will be less of it.

The Vermont Democrats.

The Democrats of Vermont in cOnven-
ton at Montpelier last Thursday, chose
Hancock delegates to the national con-
vention, as had been expected, but no
Instructions as to voting were given
them. There were about 400 delegates
present. Hiram Atkins, chairman of
the state committee, called the conven-
ton to order, and w. H. H. Bingham of
Stowe was appointed president. The
following were elected delegates at
large Lucius Robinson of Newport, L..
w. RedingtOn of Rutland, B. B. Small
ley of Burlington, James A. Williams

Bennington I'd district, d. c. Pollard
of Cavendish and N. p. Bowman of St.
Johnsbury Sd district, George l.. Wa
terman of Hyde Park and F. w. McGet-
terick of st. Adams. The delegates
were instructed to sustain the two
thirds rule, and resolutions were adopt
ed deploring the existence of section
al strife, and condemning those who
foster it as unworthy to hold places of
trust under the government. and favor
ing the sending of delegates to the ma
tional convention unrestricted except
to vote for the best man to harmonic
the party and secure victory. The men,
ton of Tilden's name in the convention
called forth quite show of applause.
but Hancock's name brought forth
round after round of cheers. A resolu-
ton to instruct the delegates to vote as
unit at Cincinnati met with strong
and determined opposition. 1t was an
nounced that the convention for the
nomination of state ticket would be
held at Burlington. Mr.. Bingham, who
has in past years been the demo
cratic nominee for governor, declined
to be a candidate again.

A Fiendish Murder at Waterbury.

A Meeker girl living in Duxbury had
been missing since last Friday, and sus-
picion rested on Almon Meeker, a man
20 years old, an uncle of the girl; and
after being arrested he confessed that
the girl was cross and they wanted to
get her out of the way. The man and
his mother, therefore, bought strych-
nine at the drug store and then gave it
to the girl in sweetened water; and af-
ter going about 100 rods she died and
they tied handkerchief across her
mouth and buried her in a swamp,
Meeker went with the officer and found
the body. Alice and her brother were
paupers in the town of Charlotte, which
gave Samuel Meeker, their uncle and
the murlerer's father, $400 to care for
them. 1t is thought that Samuel, who
is As years old and quite deaf, knows
nothing of the crime, but the family are
in Jail. When arrested, Almon said
Don't cry, mother; no use crying for
split milk; trust in God, mother" AL
mon and his mother were arraigned
Tuesday afternoon, and pleaded not
guilty.

FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be more effective agency than ever for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife
But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tanmany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
diskes and set the example. 1t called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy !;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back every doubtful state has been
won, and the for National victory were never
more cheering
THE TRIBUNES POSITION
OF The Tribunes share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have most Of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
ana Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surcst TO make good President. But in this
crisis ii conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
