General Arthur said that he preferred not to make
known his views or preferences for candidate for

than the party. That man his candidate. He
meant General Grant. With him the Republican

The "Godand morality" Republicans
OF Kansas that paradise of political
scoundrelism and venality, held a State
convention last week in the interest Of
James a. Blaine. and adopted a platform
after the fashion Of the original New
England Puritans, who resolved in pub
lie meeting that 1.-The land belongs to
the saints, and that we are the saints. "
The convention declared officially that
We are a Nation with big E)-that
Blaine is a statesman worthy to lead the
Republican party to victory, and that he
"has the confidence of the Republicans
Of Kansas, the latter part of which is
more than even Blaine can endure and
hope for any political future. This Kan
sas convention was run by its managers
precisely as the Cameron crowd ran the
Republican machine at the Harrisburg
convention, and the singular anomaly
in politics is presented, that while Blaine's
friends in this State are still bitterly
denouncing Cameron and his convention
for refusing to permit the Republicans
in each Congressional district to elect
their own delegates to the Chicago con-
vention, .he Blaine men in Kansas adopt
Cameron's methods in Pennsylvania
elect ten Blaine delegates to Chicago,
and promptly refuse to sanction re-
solution recognizing the right of the
Republican majority in each district to
choose their own representatives. This
only shows that some things can be done
as well as others, and that RepublicaEism
Of the the Blaine type in Kansas is a
very different thing from what Blaine's
friends claim it is, and ought to be, in
Pennsylvania. After the convention
adjourned the delegates from tlco of the
three Congressional districts in the State
met together and elected Grant dele
gates, just as the Blaine men are now
electing delegates III his favor in this
State, TO 80 to Chicago and contest the
seats of the Grant delegates manufac-
tured by Cameron. Let him take who
can, and let him keep who's able" is
now the Republican watchwoTd both in
Kansas and in the Keystone State.
