Adams arrived at the fort and attempted

Pennsylvania, through its Republican
state convention has declared for Grant.
and IL ia reasonably safe to assume that
New York will follow suit. The vote in
the Republican convention of Pennsylvania
instructiDQ for Grant, was close it is true
but still sufficient for the purpose. The
fat has gone forth and now the people
can choose between Grant and a third
term, and all the evils which repetition
of Grantism means, and a sound, economi-
cal administration under Democratic con-
troll. Cameron has thrown down the guage,
he has declared the purposes of the Re
publican leaders and will force Grants
nomination on the party.
To secure the nomination is one thing
to achieve victory is entirely another
thing. Cameron and his party may sue
coed 10 placing Grant before the people as
the representative Republican of the
country, but the people will decide whether
he be elected or defeated .The strong gov
ernment idea may be a pet measure with
the stalwart managers, but they will
find that, however pleasing the scheme
may be to them, with the people. monarchi
cal ideas are not popular. The blood and
hatred policy has wrought sufficient harm
lit must be checked. The cry of strong
government means not merely a protec-
torate to maintain the dignity of the United
States, but has deeper significance, 1t
means that the Republican party proposes
to centralize power in the executive,
curtail the liberties of the people, and
finally shut out appeal and render the
ultimatum of the executive, bnal in all
| things. 1t means the ultimate establish
ment of dictatorial form of government.
which. though it may have the outward ap-
pearance of Republic, will in reality be
more arbitrary and despotic than an en-

Importance of this question, and the Re
publican party will learn that, much as the

dreams OF life Lease of power, their in
famous schemes will not be permitted.

thus far. strengthen her in the estimation
of humane people. ireland has been cursed
with land laws Of the most onerous nature
laws which practically make the pea
santry serfs-slaves as it were, that the
landholders may enhance their unjust
revenues. So tyrannical are these laws
and SO exclusive in their benefits, that it is
only in times of greatest plenty that the
Irish farmers can exc out subsistence.
These laws practically prevent the ac-
QUESTION of land by the farmers. and yet
compel farm renters in many cases to pay
more than their earnings for rent alone.
The situation in Ireland is indeed dis
tressing one, and calls for help from every
humane person IN the land.

Suppose Grant goes into the Chicago
convention with Pennsylvania. New York,
Illinois. and a fair representation from the
east and south, does any one suppose that
Cam eron will allow his pet candidate to be
left? Then again suppose Blaine and
Sherman get to wrangling and Wasburne
develops some strength, who would be
most likely to profit by the division :?
Certainly neither Blaine or Sherman when
thus pitted would concede vantage to the
other. while Wasburne's strength would
go to Grant. Blaine demonstrated his
ability at Cincinnati Gas slate smasher,
and if unyielding then, is likely to be even
more unforgiving now. It begins TO look
as if Grants success in securing the Boni-
nation, although hedged with difficulties
on either side, may yet be accomplished
though the contest will be bitter one.

1.-THE Democratic state convention ought
to be held early, so as to give the state
committee ample time to perfect the party
organization, and enable the nominees to
make a thorough canvass of the state.
For the Democracy to wait until every
other party has its ticket in the field
would be fatal mistake. Call the con-
vention early and let the Democracy &C

is certain. With organized effort the
