WE will not attempt to conceal the fact
that we are disappointed in the result OF
Athe work of the convention, but while we
Admit this feeling, it is relief TO know
Shat We have missed what we considered n
great danger. Wehave earnestly advocated
the nomination of General GRANT because
we have thought him the strongest candi.
date possible for our party. We have no
private grief to assuage, no wounds to heal,
no apologies to Offer We have boon actu-
ated by sense ofparty duty in endeavorin 8
to secure the man who would bring us GER
tain victory. We still honestly believe
General GRANT to be the first choice of a
vast majority of the people. But we sub
mitted his claims TO the great tribunal
which has just acted, and we bow to the
decision without any sense of personal NOR
tifcation.
The path of duty is now plain. The con-
test is no longer between republicans Our
battle is now with our ancient enemy, with
whom we have been at variance, and
whose advances upon the citadel of power
we have steadily resisted for many years
The first motive in our political action is
ever to contend against the triumph of the
democratic party. Our highest political
duty is to follow where the republican
party leads, believing religiously that the
triumph of its principles rebounds to the
welfare of the nation.

THE NOMINATIONS.

Tho nomination made yesterday in Chi
cago is perfectly safe one. 1t was not as
much of surprise Us was that of Mr..
HAYES in 1876, and it is certain to be
stronger with the people.
General GARFIETDs magnificent cam
paign against THURMAN for the senatorship
in Ohio last year settled his title 10 leader
ship in the republican party, to which his
splendid service in the house had given him
claim.
The candidate, too, will in this case ex-
actly fit the platform adopted by the party
in convention. By word and pen and sword
he has served his country in maintaining
every cardinal principle of the great party
of liberty and the union. He has been in
accord with the demand for reform of the
civil service. He stands with the best
opinion of the country upon the tariff and
the financial questions. His history, in
fact, gives us safe republican platform,
one that will stand the full glare of pub
licity, and which will be impregnable to the
assaults of the most malicious foes of the
man and his party. General GARFIELD
combines the best elements of the soldier
and the statesman. lie will not lose q
single republican vote in the United States
which would have been cast for General
GRANT, though we do not expect him to
attract from the democratic ranks the votes
which seemed to ms to be surely tending
toward the republican party should its
leader be the great soldier and ex-president.
TO sum M, we think the choice OF the
convention is stronger as candidate than
would have been any one orthose who were
prominent as opponents of General GRANT,
and that he will be satisfactory TO every
sure republican state will put Ohio beyond
dispute and will succeed in the doubtful
states against any man the democracy can
possibly select.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR, Of New York, the
nominee Of the convention for yice-pr esi.
dent, though not heretofore prominent il
national pol itica, has an unsullied reputa
ton rs IN en- orgetic and successful business
man in the great city Of New York. lii
record made as collector of the port of New
York under General GRANT was highly
creditable TO him as an earnest, capable and
upright official. His name will consolidate
the party in the en- piro state.

MIBs. BLAKE told her fellow-sistcrs in
the Chicago woman's suffrage convention
that CORNELL was elected governor over
ROBINSON last year because the latter
vetoed the bill giving women the right TO
take part in the management of schools,
while CORNELL clasped lovely woman-po-
litically spealling--to his bosom. Mrs.
BLAKE asserted that one lady in New York
was so much in earnest in her desire to de-
feat ROBINSON that she actually bought
the votes of men for CORNELL and Mrs.
BLAKE appeared to exult in the spunlt of
the New York female politician. In view
of the fact that one special claim made in
favor OF woman suffrage is that it will
purify politics this anecdote of Mrs BLAKE
will not help her eau Sc among thinking
people. The fact is that women are human
beings, and that there is no sex in the pas
sions. The introduction OF women into
politics we fear would double the evils even
if it were admitted that they would double
til good.

WHEN q southern editor does get afoul
Of the democracy he makes the feathers fly.
Mr.. ELAN thus described the bOurbons of
Virginia, and no wonder there was anxiety
on the part of the political pirates to
suppress him:
The career Of these political buccaneers has
been marked by every perfidy. In 1860 they
abandoned tho national democracy in its su.
preme hour Of trial and plunged Virginia into
secession, revolution and war TO promote their
own selfish purposes. Having thus precipi.
tated us into o long and sanguinary struggle
they engrossed for themselves all the positions
of honor, profit aud trust land of safety Ms

for one moment during the whole four years
Of strife did they forget the spells. Never for
one moment did their own par tisanshp yield
to craftsmanship or patriotism, and the con.
| federacy was left TO drift to ruin amid the
petty jealousy of ADLER and better men who
did not belong to their faction, and their own
chickering's and differences over the plumber
which they reserved for themselves while the
people starved aud the army was unpaid aud
unsupnled Even in the final collapse and
catastrophe these creatures were true to the
groyeling instincts Of their natures, and the
confederacy as civil and political existence
persisted miserably as its president, the go
ernor of Virginia aud the whole bomb-prooi

the thrifty poor, and the savings were with
drawn and invested in government bonds,
in which form il is as Inaccessible to business
as if it wore buried in the ground. These are
some ofthe results of reckless talk and the
criminal attempt to array labor against cap
ital. Injury TO both resulted. Capital is
prevented from acquiring Legitimate profit,
while labor is left idle where it would be
otherwise employed in carrying out the
enterprises of the wealthy. The two social
forces are as intimately dependent on each

THE San Francisco journals without ex-
ception admit that business in their city
was seldom in n more unsatisfactory condi-
ton. They agree that the KEARNEY agita-
ton, the threats against the Chinese and the
adoption of some communistic ideas into
the new constitution have greatly aide in
producing the stagnaiiou now prevailing.
That capital has been frightened by the
folly OF the mlscalled workngmen's move
mont is made evident by comparison of the
relation Of sales and mortgages tore-leases in
different years. In 1877, when the Kear-
ncyitcs had Just began to be troublesome,
the records show that $2I,OOO,OOO were
loaned ON mortgages in the city, while hut
little more than half that amount were re-
leased, and tho sales of real estate footed up
nearly twenty million of dollars. In 1878
the mortgages are S0OO0,OO0, the releases
SlO,5OO,OOO aud the sales not more
than half the amount Of 1877 These
figures are the best barometer Of
business In prosperous seasons there
is demand for money; many obtain loans
aud those who have already borrowed on
mortgage postpone payment In hard
times there is little profit in investment
capital is cautious, and those who owe
hasten TO pay up. The savings banks of
san Francisco also show a great falling of
in deposits. The cry against banks scared

A PHILADELPHIA paper charges General
GRANT with creating war within the re-
publican party by his candidacy, and says
the party deserves better ut his hands, be-
cause of the benefits he has received from it,
This is q most complete reversal OF the true
state of the case. The relations of the
party to General GRANT are turned exactly
inside out. If there is obligation it is not
on the side of General GRANT The last
twelve years of the power of the republican
party is due TO the fact that General GRANT
yielded TO its solicitations to become can
didate in 1863. With any other man oppos-
ing him SEYMOUR would have been elected
president of tho United States TO succeed
ANDREW JOHNSON. With any other man
to lead it in 1872 democratic candidate
would have been elected. With any
other man in the chair in 1876 TILDEN
would have been counted in.
