YESTERDAYS CONVENTIONS.

Republican Conventions we're held yesterday
in Virginia, Georgia and Oregon, and DEM
ocratic Convention met in Texas. There is
no news from the Oregon Convention, but it
undoubtedly selected delegates to Chicago favor
able to Mr.. Blaine. The Virginia Convention
was busy until too late an hour for comment ON
its final proceedings with the question of MAX
ing an unhOly alliance with the Democratic
Readjusters. The action of the Georgia
Convention makes pertinent the question :
What has become of the unanimous feeling
in favor of the third-teIm scheme which Gen
eral Grants Northern supporters have so
constantly asserted exists among the
Southern Republicans The Convention was
go evenly divided between Grant and
Blaine that bOisterOus contest took place
over the organization. A Blaine man was
finally declared chosen chairman, Swhereat the
Grant faction became more turbulent than ever,
and threatened to bolt The wisest thing the
Convention did was to adjourn until to-day.
Probably the excitable cOlOred members will
sleep off some Of their cOmbativeness during the
night and be ready, when the body Tcassembles,
to allow each faction its fair proportional rep
resentation at Chicago. One thing must be
borne n mind as the reports from these South
ern Conventions come in-the Grant slate fig
ures up majority by counting all the South as
solid for him at Chicago. Whatever votes he
loses in that section he must make up in the
North outside of the States which have already
chosen delegates. It would be difficult for the
most hopeful of his supporters to point out the
localities where he is to make such gains.
A feeble and far-of Hancock boom is heard
from Texas. The delegation from that State to
Cincinnati is not instructed for him, but as he is
mentioned in the resolutions of yesterdays con-
vention, aud nobody else gets like compliment,
1t is fair to conclude that he is the favOrite can
didate of the Texas Democracy. Like the
Grand Duchess the South loves the military"
and in its eyes the sword and epaulets of a
major. general quite obscure the shining civic
virtues OF that eminent Reformer who was in
dorsed at Syracuse on Tuesday.

BULLDoziNG AMONG THE YANKEES.

A Committee Of the United States Senate has
been Investigating certain reports Of bulldozing
in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, where it is
alleged that large number of citizens who
wished to vote the Democratic ticket in 1878
we're cruelty compelled by clique Of Radical
manufacturers to deposit their ballots for the
opposite party, in defiance of their consciences
and their dearest desires. Nothing excites the
Democratic party 90 much as an interference
with the freedom and integrity Of the suffrage,

tissue ballots, forged naturalization papers,

General Joseph E. Johnston is said to have had
all the Congressional life he cares for and to have
declined to be candidate for reelection. He is one

Of him. All of this is uncalled for and inexCusabe.
The action at Syracuse was nothing more or less
than was to be expected. II has been plain enough
for anybody to see for months past that the Demo

nominate himself or some other man just as no
chooses The organ in question might nave sesn

The appeals which the Grant leaders make in Illi-

show that there as well as elsewhere in the North
the Republicans, If left to themselves, would not
favor a third term. Those who consent have to be
entreated and even driven to it.
The outlook for dark horse in either National

how complete was the victory of Mr.. Hlden in
