Convention, arc to be organized all
over the country, with a view to tho
| nomination of tho Strong Man in 1854.
! This movement has already been
started at Washington, as tho great
centre Of political agitation, and it is
intended to take the largest proportions
among the disappointed patriots who
failed in their recent experiment to
dictate the third term candidate. +.
The defeated Bosses have not taken
near as much stock in Garfield's nomi-
nation as he did I'm the Credit Mobilier.
Neither Conkling, nor Blaine, nor
Sherman, took part in the ratification
meeting at the capital, and Logan was
ffshed out of tho crowd, where he had
gone as a spectator to see what sort OF
an affair it would be. He was received
with more applause than Garfield. d,
The Chicago ticket has fallen fiat
everywhere, and for several sufficient
reasons. In the first place, the mission
of the Republican party is ended and
its long career hns closed. No party
can expect to retain confidence among
a progressive people which claims it
on the past alone, and offers a continu-
alton of sectional strife as the only re-
manning capital for n distinctive issue.
The extravagance, corruption, profit
gacy, robbery, and exoesscs Of the Re-
publican party since tho close of the
civil war long ago alienatetl the good
will of the country. The great fraud

climax of misdeeds and outrages.
The nomination of n Ring candidate

and rotten morally, and of II machine
politician for Vice President, publicly
branded by the occupants of the White
House and of the Treasury with dis
missal from the ColIcctorship, "in
order that the office may be honestly
administered, - is the logical cOrollary
Of the decline and coming fall of this
decayed party.
The New York papers are discussing

mildly abused Lackmcicr for this but
he did not get half tho denunciatiOn
that Hilton and Corbin did, and per-
haps it is well that he did not, for an
investigation has convinced ono of the
New York dailies that Lack ineier's |
idea in rcfuseing to receive this lady
was to get his hotel advertised and
talked about. Very few people in New
York knew where st. Marks Hotel |
was situated, and Laclkmcicr thought il
would be cheaper to get himself and
his hotel talked about in the newspa-
pcrs than to pay for advertisements.
