The Presidency.


The election Of delegates to the Stat
Convention in Pennsylvania, and th'
expressions Of preference in other sec
tions Of the country for the differen
candidates for the Presidency, indicate
that Hon. James G. Blaine will recsiv,
the nomination Of the Republican Con
vention, and be made the STANDARD
bearer in the coming campaign. The
psacable settlement Of the struggle il
Maine, has contributed to swell his pop
ularity and add to the PROBABILITY Of his
nomination. In every position in which
he has been placed he has exhibited
talent of high order, and shown a ca
pacity for leadership that is not often
equslled. There are few men that the
Republicans generally will support
more readily, and yet it is possible tina,
he may be thrust aside for another. He
was the leading candidate four years
ago, but by union Of the different del
sgates in the Cincinnati Convention, he
waa beaten by Rutherford B. Hayes.
The same may possibly be the case
again. There are some who prefer
Sherman because Of his financial pol y
and others contend that Grant is the
man for the emergency. Then there is
Washburne who is looked on with a
certain degree of favor, aud in case of
failure to unite on ons of the three
gentlemen uamed, he may possibly be
presented as compromise candidate.
To every one there are some objections,
yet whoever the nouinee shall be the
Republicans should unite upon him
and give him an undivided support.
The success of the party is Of more i'm
pertance than the election of any par
ticular candidate, and to that succt IS
every Republican should willingly con-
tribute. We hope that the Republic Ins
will 60 into the oinvass with a vigOr
and unanimity that will insure sue
cess. There should te no pickering,
no bolting or scratching by sore heads,
but all should fal into line and keep
step to the music of the Union, as the
soldiers did in the battles which finally
culminatsd in the victory at Appomat-
tox. Be the leader Blaine, Grant, Sher-
man or Washburne the principles at is.
sue will be the same, and the end aim
ed at equally important. Private con-
siderations should DO sacrificed for Re
public good, snd all should show as
they did in the days of the rebelIion
that the Union shall be preserved, no
matter what the cost or the sacrifice re-
4uired.

The Maine Controversy.

The conspiracy of the Democrats :,
set aside the will of the majority of tn,
people Of Maine, has completely failed
A bolder and more wicked effort t,
retain power in defiance of the popular
will, was never made in our country
The men who were engaged in it may
be classsd with Benedict Arnold, and
should be consigned to everlasting in.
fanny. For time the peace of the ooun,
try was seriously menaced, but thanks
to the patience and forbearancs of the
Republicans the danger has been avert,
cd. The war cloud has passed away,
and there is prospect OF continued
peace. The Republicans had right a.
we'll as might on their side, and coulo
afford to await the action of the author
tiles. The Court has ruled against tn.
eonspirators on every point, and they
must succumb. Their threatened ap-
peal to arms amounts to nothing, az
men cannot be found to fight against
the regularly constituted authorities.
Hon. J. &. Blaine deserves great credit
for his advice AMI the good manage
nent which led the citizens out OF the
labrynth in which they were involved.
Cool citizens everywhere must rejoice
at the result. Some Democrats, how.
ever, countenanced the 6 eat wrong,
and prayed for its success. Am ng this
class were the Democratic ptlers in
this State, showing willingness on
their part to profit by fraud and vii
lainy. This was to be expected, as
those who can countepance the work oi
the rife clubs of the South and tn.
murder of political rivals, are prepared
for any enormity. We rejoiee that the
right has triumphed, and hope that the
villainy attempted by the Democrats OF
Maine " i'll cause the scales to fall from
the eyes Of all honest members of that
party.

average number Of men out Of employ
ment during this time was 800. II no
strike had taken place their wages
would have amounted TO sl44, 200,
reducing their personal loss to $40, coo.
OF notable strikes that have taken place
within the last two years, that Of the
London masons, which lasted 80 weeks
and threw l,700 men out Of employ
ment, cost the strikers about $3.50, 900.
The carpenters strike in Manchester
involved about the same number OF
men, and cost nearly as much. The
strike and lockout Of the boiler-makers
and iron ship builders on the Clyde
cost the society upward of $65, 900, the
estimated losses being 81, 500, 900. The
losses Of the miners in the Durham
strike are estimated at 81 200, 900. In
the above strikes except that Of the en-
gineers frs. mentioned, the strikers
suffered disatrous defeats.

Get Assessed.

We would again urge our citizens en-
titled to the elective franchise, to pre-
pare and qualify themselves for vot
ing at the next Presidential elec
tion by getting themselves promptly
assessed, and we would again reminC
them that next Saturday will be the
most favorable opportunity offered fcl
having their names recorded. The
Assessors, Messrs. Wardsand Hughes,
will be at the City Hall at nine O'Clock
in the morning with their deputies,
and will remain there until FIVE O'Clock
in the evening to receive the names Of
all that may Offer and who are not al,
ready assessed, and these names will
be placed upon the assessment provid-
ed they are accompanied by the requir-
ed freehold vouchers. 1t does not re-
quire a different freeholder for each ap-
plicant for assessment. All that is re-
quired is that the freeholder shall vouch
that the applicant is known to him and
that he has a right to have his
name placed upon the assessment, pro-
vided he is otherwise qualified. A
voucher may know hundred men, sp-
plying TO be assessed and may vouch
for the whole of them if he sees proper
to do so. By reference to the extra as
sessments which have been fully pub
lished in the REPcsLIcAN, 1t can be seen
by any citizen voter whether his name
has been put upon the lists and not
finding it there, nor in the collectors
duplicate, will be sufficient evidence
that unless the name is assessed ne xt
Saturday, such person will have to 20
before the Levy Court as the last place
II resort to get assessed, and If he fails
n this he will have to remain disfran-
,hised and have no part nor lot in the
next Presidential election. We hope
Vkat we have said will stir up our non
assessed citizen voters, to attend at the
Jity Hall next Saturday between nine
,'clock in the forenoon and five o'clock |
Il the afternoon and have their names
placed upon this assessment.

. 90 z Again.

The historic and almost magic nun
bsrs 8 to 7, played prominent part /
, the proceedings Of the Board Of Educa
tion last night, and by that vote til
resolution of Mr.. Morrow to refund I
the City Council $22, 600 accumulate
school taxes, was laid upon the table
This was certainly the right thing I
do in the case, as the money in ques
tion had been collected from the citi
zens for the support Of the publi'
schools of the city, and for no otheI
purpose. Ii the majority members o
the City Council were disposed to act
fairly with the Board Of Education they
could not help being satisfied to let the
following resolution offered by Mr.,
Baird pass, and put an end to the trou'
blesome question
RESOLVED, That the Finance Commit
tee OF this Board are hereby instructed
to notify the City Council that the
amount of money needed for school
purposes, in addition to the surplus Of
$22, 600, tor the year 1880, will be GAS,
549.1 Is. This will enable said Council
to fix tax rate for school purposes
about thirty-three per cent. less than
would otherwise be required to raise
the $66, 600 already appropriated by
them thereby saving to the tax-pay
ers one-third of the entire school tax
for 1850.
The refusal Of the democrats in the
Board of Education, four of whom are
officers under the City Council, to &C.
cede to this very fair proposition, will
be received as evidence that the money
is wanted to fill up some gap or def
cheney in the city appropriation. 1t is
very plain that the money in question
was raised from a school tax regularly
assessed and collected as such and kept
apart and paid over to the Treasurer of
the Board of Education as such, and
therefore it is difficult to see why the
Board of Education should pay it back
to the City Council, and receive nu
credit for doing 80. II the resolution
of Mr.. Baird is adopted, it will stand to
the credit of both the Board of Educa-
tion and the City Council in a decrease
Of the rate of taxation. The vote of S |
to 7 last night in the Board of Educa
tion seems to be eminently as just and
proper as the same vote was in 1877,
which gave the nation Republican
President.

WHEN THE FUSION Senate of Maine
met yesterday morning only seven
members answered to roll call when
eighteen are required, but we are in
formed that it took a recess until four
O'Clock in the afternoon. The misera.
BILE abortion is dwiDdIing down to very
fine points and after the decision of the
Supreme Court is heard Governor Da-
Wis will very likely make short work Of
the remnant who insist On playing at
Legislature. This miserable farce should
not stop with the mere dispersion of
the Fusion Legislature. Somebody in
Maine is guilty Of treason, and some-
body ought to be convicted, even If
Governor Davis should be called upon
afterwards to use the pardoning power
to show thatthe law cannot be trifl~
with, and yet while being Just he can
afford also to be generous.

IT is not at all likely that the present
Congress will NEEDLE with the standard
silver dollar. \ re-opening of any one
Of the various phases of "the silver
question = would lead to general en-
Sagement requiring the entire session.
1t will be severely let alone. But why
should not Congress pass brief bill
making that most anomalous and annoy
ing coin, the trade dollar as good as
the dollar that has in it seven and one
half less grains of silver? The trade
dollar is as disgraceful as an illegiti-
mate child. 1t bears the imprint of the
government. 1t is the most valuable
dollar that we issue. But it lacks the
recognition that is given to the inferior
con-. and Is u constant nuisance and
bother to everybody that gets caught
with it. Why not protect the people and
the credit of the government by reecg-
ming this superior dollar as of equal
legal tender value with its favored in
terior and successful rival?
