THE DEMOCRATIC State Conventions
are now being held in tbs respective
States without any SLOW of enthusiasm
and with but little apparent interest.
1t is evident, however, that Tilden has
firm grip upon the Democratic party
from which he cannot easily be dis
logged, and II also evident that hs can
compel his party to nominate himself
for the Presidency if he wants to do 80.
From the recent reports that Mr..
Tilden is in good health and as vigor-
ous as he was in 1876 il may be infer
red that he has no notion Of withdraw
ing from the race. To Republicans it
makes very little difference whether
Mr.. Tilden intends to force his nomina.
tion or not. If he is made the candidate
he is sure of being defeated, and if he
is not nominated he will in all probabil-
ity sacrifice New York for revenge. In
either case it works to the benefit Of
the Republican party. The man who
is to be the next President of these
United StStes is Hon. James A. Gar
field of Ohio.
Daily Republican., 1880-06-09

GARFIELD WAS the friend ard leader
OF the Shefman forces in the late Ma
tional Republican Convention, and as
such placed the name of the Secretary
IN nomination for the distinguished po-
sition which be now holds himself. Or
the thirty-fourth ballot, when Mr. Gar
field had received fifteen votes, he arose
and said there was certainly a mistake
or miscount as he was not a candidate
and did not intend 10 be one. This
modest declaration however Of the dis.
tinguished soldier and It steemsu did
not break the tide hat was setting In
towards himself. The Conv ptiop VIA
in search OF the man wi did not seek
.tae tflice and they found him in the
person Of G-leral James A. Garfield.

The Next VICE President.

The Republican National Convention
finished up its coed days work yester
day by nominating Chester A. Arthur
of New York, for Vice President Of tn,
United States. 1t vas generally con
ceded when Garfield was nominated 70,
President by the opponents of General
Grant, that New York 81 ould have the
nominee for the Vice Presidency, and
as the majority of the delegates from
that State we're in favor Of the nomina.
tion of Grant, it was Io moi than rea-
sonable and Just that the choice of tie
New York delegation slou!d be the
choice OF the Convention and herefore
the choice of the Rerul lican party Of
the nation for that flee.
OF Mr.. Arthur We can only say that
during General Grants administration
he was collector of customs in New
York City, position Of greater respon-
sibility than the Vice Presidency, and
it 10 not denied that he was one OF the
most efficient officers that branch of the
National service ever b ad in New York.
Mr.. Arthur during the first excitement
of Civil Service rt'orm was removed
from his Office by President Hayes, not
from any mismanagement charged in
his cfice, but simply to have an oticer
more in sc;or1 with his admin is.lation.
The nomination of Ches ter A. Ar
thur for Vic9 President will be a
tower Of strerg h 10 the ticket in the
state of New York md will insure its
electoral vote for the nominees of the
Chicago Cony es'ion. With James A.
Garfield of Ohio for President and
Chester A. Arthur Of New York for Vice
President, Republic ans can hold up
their heads aid owe forward in an ag-
sressive campaign. Close up the col

The Third Ielm, Not Grant, De
feated.

1t is not General Grant that was de-
teated for the nominate for tie Presi
denoy yesterday at Chicago. 1t was
the third term idea snj disinc!inat;er
Of the people to depart from the old
established custom of Presidents not
exceeding eight yea! s in their term Of
service. Had General Graft never betn
President or had he se1vel lut ,ne
term in that Office he would have Ie-
osived the nomination yer terday 1 lu ost
by acclamatitn as The hororing tri.
umph for the disting isbed services he
has rendered 10 the nation. All the
talk about Imperialism and the danger
of General Grant becoming a dictate toI
or an Emperor was the silliest balder.
dash. The idea of the plain unpreten-
tiOus tanner of GaleDa becoming a
monarch at this stage Of our country 8
history is simply ridiculous. Had he
ever entertained such an idea he threw W
away every chance ofobtaining it W. ea
after the surrender Of the rebel armies
at Appomattox, he delivered not only
his own sword but General Lees also
to the government he served and which
he low ed Once when ba was in mr. N, -
mand Of half million of mep, and
again when he was President and cem-
mander in cLiet of the army we,e the
times when if he ever had any leaniDes
towards imperialism, for him to have
struck the blow. General Grant never
had any idea of becoming dictator
or any other kind of an imperious u
Ter, and we'll did those who made the
charge know the falsity Of it.
Tbs people however Jealous in guard
ing their rights, choose not to make a
departure from old established usages
which might at some time in the future
be stepping stone to something more.
A third term might have had more
signiicant in the fntule with mora am
bitions leaders that it could have hid
At the present Tina if General Cart
had been nominated.

LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS FOR INJURY
To WoRKMEN-At last we have ruling
of the Supreme Court of the United
States on the subject of the liability of
employers for injury to workmen. The
case before them was that of railroad
engineer on the Texas and Pacific, who
lost his life while saving his passen-
gers from accident, the accident being
the result of defect in his engine to
which he had called the attention of
the master mechanic. His widow sued
the railroad, but was ruled out in
Texas. The United States Supreme
Court held that the employers must not
expose their employees to peril which
can be guarded against, and, if the SER
want reports detective or unsafe ma
chinery, the master becomes RESPONSE
bic If the repair or restoration is not
promptly made. The doctrine, familiar to
English courts, but never hitherto
adopted here, that the acts of supe-
rior officer Or workman under q cor
poration are those of the employer, and
the latter is responsible for negligence
involving disastrous results, was af-
firmed

Mourning in America.

Visitors to this country are greatly
surprised at the long period during
which people wear mourning and re-
main in seclusion. The custom must
be purely American, for it does not OBJ
tain elsewhere. In England, widow
or widower may, with perfect propriety,
divest herself or himself of mourning
attire at the end of twelve months, al
though, in most cases, they retain it IN
some degree while longer. Mourning
is worn for parents for one year, but
changed to lighter mourning after six
months, and the same as regards the
mourning of parents for children Ex-
cept in the case of widows and widow
ers, it is not deemed at all obligatory to
abstain from society for more than six
months, although in the case of parents
who have lost children it would be un-
usual to go to large entertainments be-
fore the expiration of q year Where a
parent has died we'll stricken in years,
and quite in ordinary course Of nature,
it would excite no remark were the
children to go to quiet dinner parties
after three months. A two years
mourning and seclusion would, in such
cases, be deemed affectation. Mourn
ing is here carried to such lengths that
some people really pass large part
of their lives in weeping and seclusion,
the death of father, mother, and SIS
ter or brother making an aggregate of
five years. 1t is question whether we
are not carrying the thing too far. Life
was surely not made to be spent in per-
manent seclusion on account of be-
reavement, more especially for those
who, in the ordinary course of nature,
must predecease us. Thousands of per-
sons would gladly cut short their
mourning but for tyranny of fashion,
which arbitrarily rules in this as in so
much beside.-NeU York paper.
