The Republican Convention.

The state press is busy discussing the nom-
inationsto be made by the Republican State Con-
vention which meets at Hartford On Wednes-
day next All speak in high terms of the
present administration. We notice, however,
that the larger and the more pronounced Re-
publican journals take somewhat different
view of the matter from that adopted by tie
smaller, or more independent papers. This
difference is easily explained. What we may
properly term the State Central Committee
view favors a new ticket, and the editors more
intimately connected with practical politics
naturally incline the same way. For, with all
these gentlemen, politics is a business; and
their view is the business view of politics.
This is year when exceptionally large politi-
cal interests are at stake; and, in the eyes of a
State Central Committee, the handspring Of
political action is money. Left to themselves
such committee would in nearly all cases
choose the ticket from whose members they
could look for the heaviest campaign contri-
buttons.
Looking at permanent and not mere temper
airy results, is there any trAe wisdom in such
policy? Would not the nomination of a
new State ticket, obviously selected with a
view to the campaign liberality of its men,
bers, be in itself a confession Of moral and
popular weakness such as would damage the
party to an extent that mere money could not
repair? Our State Central Committee natur-
ally overrates financial strength, and under
rates moral strength. Is it not the duty of
the Convention to correct the errors Of its
financial agents in this regard, and to take a
broader, wiser, higher view of the mission of
the party they represent?
Litchfield enquirer., 1880-08-05
Gladstone's Administration.

We cannot help being surprised at the Tory
animus which poisons much of the foreign
correspondence of the New York dailies One
would imagine that English Liberalism was
conservative enough for the most censerva-
tive Americans. Such, however, seems not
to,be the case. Gladstone hardly meets fairer
treatment at the hands of his Tory enemies
who edit English journals, than from the Lon
don correspondents of the New York Times,
and the New York World, who rehash current
Tory opinions for the New York market
Hence Americans whose sympathies are gen.
orally with Gladstone, are surprised to read
that the model English statesman, in whose
recent triumph we rejeiced, has all at once
become an incurable blunderer. Even,
Smalley, OF the Tribune, shrewd observer,
and a thorough and intelligent republican, is
occasionally warped by the hostile feeling of
London society into what seems an unduly,
depfeciatory criticism of Gladstones admins
tration.
In nothing has the untrustworthiness of
Tory views been made more obvious than in
the character Of the reports recently given US
of the Irish Compensation bill. Its defeat
was confidently predicted, and the speedy
collapse of the Gladstone administration as
sumed as unnecessary consequence. In spite
of the opposition both OF the Wing aristocra-
cy, and of the Parnell faction the bill was
carried by handsome majority, and the re-
sponsibility is now on the Tory House of
Lords of rejecting it. The fact that the aris-
tocratic opposition to this measure treat it as
an agrarian scheme, and that the Irish party
take precisely the opposite view, inclines ue
to imagine that it may have more merit than
either extreme is willing to confess.
The other difficulties that are besetting the
new Liberal Ministry are SO plainly due to
Beaconsfcld's ill judged policy of aggression
that they injure the latter rather than the for
mer in public estimation. The Afghan con-
quest is proving bloody as we'll as barren, and
the contumacy of the Porte in regard to Greece
is another evidence of the nuisance the
''unspeakabe Turk" is capable of making of
himself All these are legacies of the Bea-
| consfield policy. The bold and specious
plans of this remarkable political adventurer
no longer dazzle even the admiring eye of the
British lingo.
Litchfield enquirer., 1880-08-05
Fair Play.

i very curious instance of the unscrupu-
lousness of the polltica! press is to be found in
the conduct of the New York World in regard
to a blunder it recently made in its haste to
gather material for attacks on Garfield. 1t
published what purported to be an extract
from an opinion that Judge Swayne, Of the
Z. S Supreme Court, had delivered, in which
he held that Garfield had accepted bride in
the De Golyer matter. 1t afterwards appear
ed that the language attributed to Justice
Swayne was used in point of tact by the law
yer arguing case tried before another judge.
The lawyer won his case, indeed, but it by no
means follows that completely on Garfields
part is implied by the decision of the court.
The Worlds original statement was probably
mere blunder; but, instead of frankly &C
knowledging its mistake, it has been busy
ever since trying to make it appear that there
was no hlunder, after all The Republican
papers are of course virtuously indignant, and
the spectacle is a glazing instance of the un-
fair spirit in which political controversies are
now carried on.
Bad as the party papers now are, however,
we believe that they are much fairer than the
political papers of former times. For one
thing, they print vastly more truth than form
erly, as well as more lies Ashrewd reader can,
to large extent, select the truth frem the fiction
as the two appear side by side in the news
columns of any of the large dailies. 1t is not
so easy to deodorize the editorials which the
young gentlemen employed to write up their
employers politics give us. Here the salt of
truth has often completely lost its SAVIOR. But
the general news, and the important political
facts are to be detected under the partial dis
guise of their party dress. Then, too, there is
less lying out of whole cloth than in the good
old days when the Federalsts could tell the
most ridiculous inventions about Jefferson;
or the Wings about jackson; and find not
only ready but universal credence with their
party.
Rejecting upon the scanty material left us
for reconstructing important periods of ancient
history, we have often wondered what sort OF
notion the historian of the Fortieth Century,
getting all his facts regarding Hayes admins
tration out of stray file of the New York
Sun, would give his readers concerning that
administration. Would not Tiberius, or
Calgula, or Nero, seem a preferable ruler to the
President we know as the modest, conscien-
tous, estimable successor of Gen. Grant,

An additional proof of the old maxim that
"murder will out" has occurred in the discov-
cry of two at least, and perhaps all, of the no.
torlous Blenders whose murders in Kansas, in
1878 made great noise at the time. They
had a solitary house on the Usage Mission
road, and kept sort of wayslde tavern.
Here they committed great number of muir
ders, burying the bodies of their victims in
their garden, where the remains of ten persons
were found. The Benaers, four in number,
escaped at the time, and all traces of them
were lost. Last week man and woman were
arrested in Nebraska who, it is supposed, are
John Bender, the father. and his daughter
Kate. On Friday man WHO formerly lived
in their neighborhood. unidentified the old man
as John Bender, but was not 30 positive as to
the woman. It is said that the officers have
knowledge of the whereabouts of the rest of
the family.

The Commissioner of Patents recently made
a statement which can hardly be considered
encouraging to Inventors. He says that not
one patent in fifty pays the cost of obtaining
it. The chief OF the issue division gives the
poor patentee q better showing, estimating
that one out of every four patents proves
paying investment. We incline to the less
favorable estimate. Of course there are few
whose value is simply inestimable; very
many more, of great value others, whose re.
turns have proved moderate. We imagine,
however, that what Mr.. Whitney used to term
the bogus" is the rule; the valuable patent,
the exception.
