A REPUBLICAN YICTORY.

The abrogation of the unit rule, in
against the Acknowledgement, in the ma
tional convention, OF the minority dele
gates from three of the most prominent
of the northern states, affords gratifying
and convincing evidence of the ultimate
sovereignty of the Republican party,
on all questions which vitality affect its
integrity, and attests the fact, once for
all, that the grand principles which IN
derlie that organization can never be
subverted by designing politicians for
the accomplishment of personal schemes
OF the attainment of selfish ends.
Senator Cameron, in consenting to the
abolition of the unit rule, has laid the
party under no debt of obligation, nor
can he lay claim to its gratitude for hav-
ing thus averted the disastrous results
which its enforcement would certainly
have entailed. In making this con-
cession, he has, SO to speak, but made
virtue of necessity, and has yielded a
point which it would have been suicida.
for him TO maintain.
The moral effect of this measure, il
will bereadily seen, far transcends in
importance its practical results ON the
action of the convention. AS it gives to
every delegate the privilege of voting in
accordance with his own per
sonal preferences, the ballot which
puts in the field Republican
candidate for president, is bound
to reflect the sentiment of a large
preponderancc of the party, and while
there may be dessenting voices TO the
choice of the convention, under the rule
of free and unhampered vote, there can
be no serious bolts nor dangerous disaf-
fections. What effect this acceptable de-
parture will have upon the settlement of
the third term issue, it is quite impos-
sIble TO predict. The Grant managers
claim it Will strengthen their cause,
while the advocates OF Blaine and other
anti-third term candidates assert with
equal assurance that it virtually defeats
the chances of the ex-presIdent. The
suspense, in any event, will be but brief,
and while we have always held, and with
perfect honesty of conviction, that the
Republicans can find more eligible can
didates than General Grant, We desire,
once for all, To pledge the NEWS to the
hearty support of the man who is fairly
and honestly nominated by the Chicago
convention, independent of the interfer-
ence of its selfassumed bosses.
