Blaine is willing to stay, but he is
not likely to remain. He will proba-

and be succeeded by Andrew D.

He thinks it is settled that Lincoln
will remain where he is. Window
will 60 and Governor Morgan, OF

chance to remain. Kirkwood, &C
cording to Mr.. Halstead, will not re.

his successor. James will be re
tanned for time at least. These
are Mr.. Halstead's conclusions.

and over "new- made grave" In
this view of the case, the Senator dis
played good judSment and regard
for the party's welfare, and in pursu-
ing that course he has done more to
ingratiate himself in the good graces
of his countrymen than he could
have done by any other course open
to him.
No Republican entertains ill-will
towards Senator Conkling to the ex-
tent of wishing to drive him out of
the party. His great ability is recog
nized by all. No stain of corruption
has ever soiled his garments. But all
Republicans did not sympatbize
with him in bis extreme fight against
Gar6eld's administration. On the
contrary, a large majority believe
his conduct to be indefensible. But
so long as he shows no disposition
to continue this "disputs with a
dead man." he will have a host of
friends and admirers among Repub-
icans. If the dispute is kept UP, he
will be antagonized by Republicans
in his own State and elsewhere.
We sincerely hope that we will
now hear no more about "stalwarts y
and 80 half breeds" We are all Re-
publicans and such epithets should
be banished from our vocabulary.
He who would keep up such dis
tinctions is an enemy of the Repub-
lican party. Our party is q large
one, but not large enough for two.
A house divided against itself cam
not stand. When a question has
been settled, as it has been in this
New York State convention, let it
stay settled. Now that there can be
no further occasion for disturbance,
we hope to see the Republican party
in New York, as we'll as elsewhere,
harmonized and unified, marching
on to certain victory.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1881.
THE NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CON-
VENTION.

The results of the Republican State
convention of New York have been an
agreeable surprise to the Republicans
Of the country. There has been so
much bitterness in the Republican
ranks there, for few months past,
that it was feared that bitterness and
strife would mar the harmony of the
State convention; but it appears that
the result in the primaries was grace
fully accepted as the voice of the
majority, which ought to rule.
The contest was not over
the candidates for the offices
to be filled, so much as
over the future organization of the
party. AS we write, we are left in
donbt as to the complexion of the
new State committee, only knowing,
as our noon dispatches received yes
terday state, that Collector Robert
son, Sheriff Daggett, and other anti
Conkling men are on it, and that
ex-senator Platt is retained, together
with other stalHarts y
Senator Conkling wisely remained
away from the convention, for which
he deserves credit. His motives are
variously construed, his bitterest
opponents alleging that it was be-
cause he saw his defeat in advance
Mr.. Murat Halstead, who was in New
York the latter part of las
week, explains it in his paper, thu
Cincinnati Commercial, as follows:
Ex-senator Conkling seems t.
have been misiudged in the course
Of the local political contests tina
have distracted New York for /
fortnight It is, I am persuaded
unfair to say that he refuses to at
tend the State convention becaus
the majority has not been returned
to support him through thick ant
thin. His friends have known an
he begins to feel that the death Q
President Garfield was to him
great political misfortune, He use
this language with regard to tn
situation: l cannot dispute with
dead man. cannot go into a new
made grave and make war. The
taunt me to do it, butt will not do il
Some things must 60 unanswere
now. Perhaps 1 shall have some
thing to say in the coming years
but not yet. shall not go to th
convention, and have not intended t
do so. The fight my friends al
making is not for me. Perhaps thi
is not verbatim report, but it
close enough to be true at all point
to Mr.. Conklings definition OF b
position.
If he is correctly reported in til
above, as he doubtless is, we roper
that he has acted wisely. His be-
friends must admit, that in carryin
his fight with President Garfield S
far as to resign in the Senate, he mad
the greatest mistake of his life,a land on
for which there is no defense. TIL
act of his developed SO much bitter
ness in the Republican ranks in th;
State, that it was impossible for hi
to go into the State convention
without meeting with strong antae
onistic influences. Had he cor
into the convention and succeede
in controlling it, the fact would hay
been accepted as a condemnation {

scented as having said, it would ha,
been dispute with a dead man

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE
SOUTH.

The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf has
been noted for it's calm, dispassion-
ate and dignifed tone in the discus
sion of public questions, but here is
paragraph clipped from a recent
issue of that paper, which would do
honor to the late "Solid South of
which the fiery Herman was editor
Why the Republican party should
have ever hoped to conciliate the
South, is one of the wonders of the
nineteenth century That party was
sired by sectional;sm out of dam,
fanaticism, and has never had one
feeling in common with the people
of the South. From its infancy, it
has been a sectional party with no
power in the Sonth except that
which it wrested from the people by
an unconstitutional use of the bay
Onet
"Sired by sectionalism." In
what respect is the Republican
party sectional ? In what respect
has it ever been sectional? In it's
earliest organization it opposed the
extension of slavery, and it so hap
pened that the opposition to
slavery came from a particular sec>
ton. But the question is, was
slavery right? If it was, then the
Republican party did wrong to OPP
pose it. If it was wrong, then should
the party have been deferred from
opposing it because slavery was con-
fined to a certain section of the
country? There can be but one an
swer to this, and no man would think
of giving any other in the light Of
the present age.
What-else has the Republican par
ty done to justify the charge Of sec.
, tional'sm? Why, unfortunately, the
Democratic leaders induced the peo
l pie of the South, few years ago, t.
, rebel against the authority of tn
, Federal government and embark in
| foolish scheme to disrupt the Union
The government was then administer
! ! ed bya Republican President, and tn
a Republican party opposed the rebel
8 lion. Does any one now clam tina
e that was wrong? Do not majorit
q of the Southern people now conced
that it was a good thing for til
J South that the rebellion was not SUE
! cessful This is our understanding
- We believe that every thought,
= Southern man now admits that tt
South is better off in the Union an
y without slavery. Then if the Repul
s lican party did appear to be section;
s in that struggle, it was clearl y RICH
S and being right ought to be su
% tanned.
The Republican party is not SCI
tional party. It makes war. upc
~ no section and never did. The be-
- efts to the country derived from th
Q principles and policy
= that party, which are many an
great, have been reaped by Il
. South as well as the North. If IL
> full benefits are not enjoyed, it is L
fault of the Republican party. Th;
= party has no thought of "col
ciliating ;" the South. It only meal
. to do what is for the best interests
the nation, and it has done SO, s
far as it is possible for fallible me
y to do it. And in doing this, it con
mends itself to the confidence al
support of the Southern peopl
. The only reason why they have NJ

and demagogues have prevented

That charming and vivsCious actress
Miss Maggie Mitchell appeared at the

this Cozy theatre this season. The play
was FanchOn, Miss Mitchell's chef
d1ure, and In which she first electrified
the amusement world BY her graceful and
natural impersonAtion OF the character OIL
the "Orlcket." The most commendable
features OF her acting are her disregard OIL
studied attempts to make points, and the
simplicity with which she clothes the
character Of the friendless girl. There ID
no effort to entrap the audience, yet they
instinCtively weep and laugh Just as the
mood she Ia In calls for tears OF
smiles. Her transitions from one humor
to another are artlscally effected, and all
OF her impersonations are finished and
pleasing. Miss Mitchell still retains that

has earned her fame. The support was

other a revolver, and for q short time there
was blood on the moon, but 1t passed of
with words.
Professor Orr Is confined TO his home

in the dry goods trade, by which he should
certainly increase bis sales.
Every man who has child attending

question which will be decided to. morrow
by vote, whether the little ones are to be
crowded into poorly ventilated rooms or
whether a tax Ia to BIO levied sufficient to
build an addition 10 the school house or a
new house sufficient to deCently accom-.
modate the scholars. Every man should
leave hls work and vote for the appropria.
ton who has the interest OF his children
OF heart.
II La being opposed In quiet, cunning
way by some Of the older ones whose chill.
dren are grown and educated, and who
will bear the burden OF the taxation. We
say to oil don't be influenced by the argu.
mentB Of these persons, but come out and
vote Tor new school house. We need Il,

suffering among the children who are
crowded into the rooms we now have.
On Wednesday the qualified voters OF
Bridgeport will vote upon the question OF
increasing their school facilities. The

seven rooms, while in Bridgeport with
more than $500 there are only eight. In

two teachers. This 10 disgrsCetul. There
