THE REprBLiC Nv DECISION

On tbc test vote Yesterday only nine States
recorded themselves in favor Of the unit rule
We ask our fricnOs TO observe which States
these we're They were Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida Kcntucky Mississippi Missouri New
York, Tennessee and Virginia. all except one
belonging to the solid Democratic South, and
that one classcd as doubtful. All the rest, en-
bracing every stronghold Of the Republican
party. voted to recognize the right and duty OF
dclcratcs to express the wishes Of their districts,
uncontrolled by the representatives of other
constituencies The Republican States, III solid
column, stand by the Republican principle that
"no man is good enough TO govern another
oman without that other mans consent
The unit rule is the logical consequence OF the
Democratic theories of State Rights. p0!ill-
cal party which recognizes the absolute IndlVih-
uaity of the states, as independent ana SOY
crcign members of a league, may properly
rcuulre them TO vote as units III the selection 0l
u President of their cnufcdcraCy; but the party
which looks upon the United States as II nallon'
governed by the people on the system OF district
representation, cannot consistently refuse 10
the uroplc of the districts the right of naming
their own choice in the National Conventions
Whenever Tic question has been submitted L"
tie great assembly Of the party. it has been
decided upon the same principle now c-tlb-
ishcd anew at Chicago. II odght to be admitted
by this time ns a well understood article OF
Republican fath that no delegate shall stiflc
the voice of another delegate Ivy GaS-and-
unit rule that no district shall be drblil' Il
from expressing the choice Of its people in
Convention called expressly to ascertain what
the choice of the people is.
The distinguished politicians who have been
most earnestly pressing the adoption OF tie
unit rule have long been considered Republican
leaders. They Thought they were leading the
marty in their new departure. Let them LOOK
Mt Yesterdays vote, and be undccrivcd. In
not one State of the Union have the Republican,
masses followed them. The party has stood
fast. and they have driftcd away from it. The
party las chung to its creed and traditions
while they have been preaching new belief.
There is wide separation to-day between
these Grant Senators and the voters who
roll up Republican, nrljnritica and elect
Repubican Presidents. We hOpo and believe
that the gentlemen in question will understand
the situation and repair thcir mistake They
have been dreaming Of political dictatorship.
That sweet dclusl0n is over. Let them awake
TO the realities Of the day, and submit loyalty to
the party which honOrs their courage and will
GLADLY be served by their abilities.

carry all his men over to EdmundS If he wished,
and there are some reasons for thinking that he
does not wish. Mr.. Blaine must soon
get Minnes0t@ and it is already known
that number of the Southern dele
gates will take the earliest opportunity OF
turning from Grant to Blaine. For this aus
piCiOus change in prospect that
two weeks ago seemed so alarming
we have first of all to thank
Judge Robertson, of Westminster. TO his
sacacity, energy and splendid pluck we owe not
only the blow from Ncw-YOrl chat first broke
the Grant line, but also largely the srcohd
blow the next day in the card from the Penn
sylvania delegates, which plainly began the
Grant decentralization. The others have all done
n0bly but Judge Robertson led and 1T is with
peculiar pleasure we welcome him at
last TO his rightfui place as a
leader Mr.. Conkling won no laurcls
Yesterday. To be entirely frank he was
raped between the eyes every time he at
tempted to attack in fashion to which he
had not been used, and at which
he and his followers were evidently
amazed Hale and Frye each drew blood. and
each did it with IA dignity and srI-restraint
curiously in contrast with the manner
of their assailant. The dispatches show
the universal feeling at Chicago that Mr.
COpklng has thus far been Out-talkcd
as well as Out-manGuvTcd. that he has
lost his temper at beng laughed at, ana
everybody knows it. The vote by
States is unqucstiOna5ly n pretty fair test
of the anti-Gmnt strength. 1t cmiOuSly con-
FIRMS. THE TRIBUNE'S estimate, which gives
Grant 315 on first ballot. His side got
on this vote 31S. Deddcting Mr.. EdmundSs
ten votes from Vermont, and adding
the eight votes of Louisiana, which
were excluded from this count by the contest
and We have Grants apparent strength shown
on this vote at 31G. The third term is clearly
and conclusivrly dead.

a new and trying situation. He is accustomed
to controlling State Conventions which his
lieutenants have carefully disciplined In ad-
vance, so that q majority is prepared to sup
port him in any course he may take. Never
before has he had to face hostile and deter
mined majority led by men who are not
afraid of him and expect no favors from hlm'
and who are competent to Grapplc with nm
in debate. He has been moderately successful
thus far in fighting for delay, but his speeches
have not been of a character to soften the
frmness of the forces opposed to him. The
vinegar of his irony will catch no flies
among the delegates. and he had better try the
honey OF his most persuasive rhetoric.
Delay was what the Grant managers sought
Yesterday. Not that they hoped to save the
third-tcrm hulk from impending shipwreck'
but that they might gain time to climb on
board some better craft and navigate it
into the haven of success. Their airy conf
dence has vanished their loud boasts are
heard no more. The four hundred votes
which they declared only two days ago they
were sure to get on the first ballot have
dwndled down to three hundred. The organ
lzaton of the Convention is hostile to them
the committees are three to one against them
the unit rule is hOpelessly smashed. Their
scheme for fastening the boss system on the
Republican party has totally collapsed, ana
they stand among its ruins, detected, angry,
but still combative. If they cannot make
Grant the nominee they think they can at
least defeat Blaine, to whom they attribute
their overthrow. TO this end they want to
POSTPONE a ballot as long as possible, and to
this end they will put forth all their skill ana
resources.
A vote was taken in the Chicago Conven-
tion Yesterday which was regarded on all
hands as pretty fair test OF the strength OF
the Grant and anti-G Grant forces. motion
was pcndng to have the Committee on Rules
rcnort at once. General Sharpe, of New-l0rk,
one of the Grant leaders, moved to amend by
substituting the Committee on Credentials 1Or
that of Rifles. Apparently the Grant men
thought it good tactics 10 have the fight over
the contested Illinois seats come OIL before
the unit rule was definitely demolished ana the
delegates thereby wholly freed from any OBJ
legations they might feel to abide by their
State instructions. The Sharpe amendment
was lost-ycas, 31S nays, 406-ali the
Grant men voting in the Affirmative and with
them the EdmundS men from Vermont.
Transferring the 10 Vermont delegates leaves
the total Grant strength 3OS, against 4lO
anti-Grant votes. In TIE TEIDuNE's eStI-
mate eubished last Friday the Grant strength
was given as 315, which was pretty close to
the mark.

A great many excellent ideas are advanced
IN the papers read before the American Medi-
cal Association now III session i'll this city.
They would receive much more notice than
is accorded them if the attention of the
public and the columns of TIE newspapers
were not so fully occupied with the doings of
the Chicago Convention. The doctors chose an
unfortunate time for their meeting. Such
topics as the increase of insanity. tho trans
mission of acquired conditions from parent to
child. the adoption of some better mode of
capital punishment than hanging, and the
sanitary inspection of school buildings which
are only few Of the subjects considered yes
tcrdaY, deserve an audience which the public
Journals cannot attempt to secure for them in

castle remarks. 1t must be remembered in
