QUESTIONS TO BIZ SETTLED.

1t seems to he the idea of some persons that
State Convention is called and held solely for
the purpose of pleasing certain men, Being
leaders" on one side or another, these men
are thought to have II sort of inlefeasble right
to be In Convention, whether chosen by the
people tc represent them or not. Thus it is said
that Mr.. ConIing and his friends will be ont
ragged If so worthy and able leader is not adj
mtted, either rs a delegate himself or in the
person of his alternate, to the State Convention.
This notion presuppOses that Republican
State Convention is held to express, not the
will of the Republican voters but the will of
the Republican politicians and leaders This is
precisely the idea against which there has been
so remarkable an uprising of the people,
Mr. Conkling is entitled to a seat rs delegate
III Republican Convention, if he was fairly
and truly elected to represent them by the Re-
publicans of his district. If he was not so
chosen, he is no more entitled to a seat than
any other Republican in the State 1t is an in
suit to President Arthur to say, as some have
said, that he wants Mr. Conkling admitted on
account of his personal friendship, whether
elected or not. This Convention is not assem-
bled Tor the purpose of making leaders COM
Portable. 1t is intended to represent the peo-
pie If Mr. Conkling does not really represent
the people OF his district, and has not been truly
chosen by them, he has no more right to a seat
than the cheapest and meanest man in the dis
trict. For this Convention is representative
body, or it has no business to exist,
Other cases of contest ought to be decided ON
precisely the same principles. If the best man in
the State should present himself as delegate
from district which did not elect him. he
ought to be excluded. If the worst and most
discreditable individual in either faction should
present himself, having been duly elected and
accredited, the Convention ought to receive
him. There will be many cases of contest. We
hope that every one of these will be settled on
its merits, with strict regard to the rights of
constituencies and with no respect whatever for
the personal merit or demert of the individual
claiming seat If the Convention will pro-
coed IN that spirit, in deciding upon every
question as to right of membership, there NAV
be sore and sulky partisans who will show their
own faithlessness to Republican principles by
growing, but tho great majority of Renublican

voters will hea. tily approve and sustain the
decision.
A question of somewhat different character
arises in New-Y York, where the Republican
voters have not been permitted to vote in the
organizations called regular. Independent but
Republican organizations will demand hear
ing and a vote, because they also represent
large numbers of Republican voters. The
object of the Convention is to represent all
classes and shades of Republicans. But this
cannot be done where regular organizations
have been so packed aS to exclude large pro-
portion OF the Republican voters. Yet the So
called regulars, since they do in fact represent
some portion of the Republican body, ought
not to be entirely excluded. AS nearly as pos
sble, the delegations ought to represent the
declared will of the Republicans of each dis
trict, and in some cases this can be effected
easily by dividing the delegations.
Bat the Convention has before it another and
much more important matter. 1t ought to take
care that in future the delegations in Republic
can Conventions shall represent and be chosen
by the whole number of Republican voters
This is utterly impossible, If the present COM
mittees are left to supervise, control and report
future meetings of Republicans. The frauds
have been gross and glarlng, and the disre-
Saru OF the popular VIII so complete, tnat no
honest man will expect fair expression of the
will of the voters in meetings which these COM
mittees control. 1t is for the Convention to say
how far and in what districts the machinery of
the party needs to be reconstructed. Certain it
is that, in many of the districts of this city,
four-titths of the Republican voters have now
no more voice in the management of the party
than many Democrats.
= The Convention will not forget that the or
ganizaton which it sanctions now will control
elections of delegates to the next State Con-
vention, and to various local Conventions, and
so Will be enableu to determine what tickets
the Republicans shall support at future impor-
tant elections Those who do not want the party
defeated will take great care in all the opera
tons of this Convention, to guard against any
future misrepresentation of the will of voters.

remember that they are the children of those
who were the friends of our fathers. Strange
Vlcissitudcs have befallen their Nation and
ours, since the first parallel was opened at
Yorktown, and the first British gun dis
mounted there; but as we receive the repre-
sentatives of gallant Nation once our firm
and most honorable ally, we may congratulate
them upon the successful establishment of re-
publican institutions in their own land. after
many discouragements and failures and mis-
takes; and as we join the names of Washing
ton and Hamilton with those of Rochambeau,
OF Lafayette and De Grasse. we feel an assur-
ance OF future amity with Nation which, in
one sense, we may regard as ouI benefactor,
ana, in another, as our political pupil. Why
should we not extend to our French visitors
friendly greeting9 They are the guests of
Nation which their ancestors helped to found.
They share with us, as we share with them, in
all the traditions of the Revolution, for its his
tory is partly their history as much as it is
partly ours.

An intimate friend of Mr.. Conkling said yes
terday that the ex-senator would "nevcr take
a place in the Cabinet-never never,n and
that his only desire was to get back To- his old
seat III the Senate. So one important question
in connection with the new Administration is
settled and settled satisfactorily, for Mr.
Conkling's tastes and habits of mind render
him unfit to perform the routine labor of a
Cabinet Minister with pleasure to himself or
comfort TO others.

From the guarded uttcrances of Sir Stafford
NOrthcote on the subject of "Fair Trade" in
his speech at Hull, OH Monday, it is not easy
to discern the exact position which that distin-
guished Conservative leader means to assume
toward the new issue, but he is evidently not
as friendly toward it as many of its advo-
Gates have been led to suppose.
