The sympathies and support of the peo-
pie are Enthusiastically with the President.
They believe in giving his Administration
fair play and fair change, They may
think that possibly he has made a mistake
in one or two points, but they feel that he
has been actusted by a sincere purpose to
be just to all sides. and they are unwilling
that he gshould be condemned and EN-.
barrassed at the threshold Of his Admins
tration. He has exercised only the legiti'
mate and rightful prerogatives of hi;
place, and they believe that, whether mis-
taken or not, he has done it in a just spirit
general good. H has made an honest
effort to be fair to all, and the people are
disposed to be fair to him.

THE OFFICE-SEEKERS AND THE
"SHORTS."

AS our readers know, an attempt
was made last week by Messrs. Saw
age, Marks, Wilson, Snodgrass and
the forlorn little squad of repudi-
ators in Middle Tennessee to get up
Indignation meetings against the
settlement OF the State debt. They
Wee.iI into it because they know that
their political salvation depends upon
the agitation of the State debt ques-
ton. This being the situation, it
was an easy matter for spectators
in "shorts to make q cat's>paw
of them and use them in their at,
tempt to depreciate the value of Ten
nessee bonds These are the two
forces at work-on the part of active
movers in the scheme, it is love of
office; on the part of those who fur
nish the sinews of war, it is love of
money.
But their first attempt to make
it appear that the people were indig-
nant, was miserable failure. After
all their blowing they failed at Muir
freesboro, the center of what has
been low-tax district, they had a
small audience, and no indignation
to speak of. Snodgrass and Savage
and Jones appealed to the American
eagle, and spread themselves in fine
style, but the people were not ez~
asperated at the settlement to an
extent encouraging to ofice~hunters
or the "shorts."
And then they tried in Wilson
county, the home of Emmett Thomp
son, where reputation, in all it,
purity Gf such term applied te
such subject is pardonable), has
been taught, aud it was thought
they would certainly meet with
success there. But the day
came and the crowd of indig
nant taxpayers failed to materi
alize. And thereupon the politician
grew sad, the "shorts mad, and tn
organs raved. The effort to SHOW
popular indignation against publ
honesty has failed. That these mel
, will continue their efforts there is NJ
doubt. They will be heard from a
the next State election, but they vii
never defeat the settlement of on
debt as agreed to by the Legislature

PUBLIC OPINION.
CoNKLING'S MISTAKE,
Louisville Commercial.

Mr.. Conklng is not apt to see that he is
mistaken; but we feel sure that he will
find out that he has made mistake in the
course he has taken toward President
Garfield. He will find very little sympathy
among Republicans in his alliance with
Democrats to antagonize Republican AID
ministration. Mr.. Garfield is a Rupu blican
President. in harmony with his party ar
popular with it; he is not like Mr. Hsyes
a Republican President trying to get along
without his party. or like Mr.. johnson, s
Republican President fighting and leaving
his party, and fight with him is different
from fight with them.

Chief Justice Park, of Connecticut, in

for those who are given to the moving
bowl:
You sent Daniel J. Hayes to a prema-

children fatherless. No doubt you were
stimulated to the commission of the fell
deed by alcoholic liquo the immOderate
use of which has caused more misery, more
pauperism and crime than all other causes
Whatsoever. Every term of a criminal

of the truth ofthese alarming facts. Let all

tration which your case furnishes Of the
ruinous consequences of su h a course"

New YORK, Oct 5-The Republican state
convention assembled at 8 O'Clock, with full
attendance of members. The press were ex-
cludej. but it was learned the proceedings
were harmonious Chairman Platt conducted
the proceedings with impartiality. Gen.
Sharpe spoke in favor OF Frank Hiscock, OF
Syracuse, as temporary chairman of the con-
ventlon, and Hiscock was agreed upon. The
selection seemed to give general satisfaction,
and even those who opposed the nomination
gave in their adherence, and when the decision
was announced, declared they would abide by
the result A better feeling prevails among
the delegates, and there is every reason to
hope that the bad feeling engendered by the
failure of the conference committees to agree,
Is in good part disslpated, and the disruption
anticipated will be avoided. 1t was past 10
O'Clock when the committees deliberations
ended. The members then fastened to the
Academy of Music, to be IN attendance by II
O'Clock, when the convention was to be called
to order.

the marks of honorable service upon his per-
son. He spoke of James O'Brien, a man
| whose experience in the Office was sufficient
guarantee OF good service in the future.
Mr.. j. G. Mccarthy seconded the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Bell, and said that the reason why
he was not in the army was that he was too
young to enlist when the war was in progress.
Mr.. P. Fl. Kelly called attention to the fact
that there had been good deal of feeling over
this Office, and he called upon the two candi-
dates to come forward and pledge themselves
to support the ticket, no matter who might
be nominated. Mr.. Bell appeared and declared
himself willing to support the whole ticket in
any event. Mr.. O'Brien refused to appear,
whereupon Mr.. Kelly moved that Mr.. Bell be
nominated byacclamation.
Mr.. Wood protested against such a proceed
ing, and the roll was called, Mr.. Bell receiving
AZ and Mr.. O'Brien II votes Mr.. Bell was
thereupon, on motion of Wood, made the una
nimous nominee of the convention for clerk of
the court.

and promised to do all in his power to admin
lister the duties of the Office faithfully. He
felt competent to perform them well. He
thanked the boys heartily for the compliment
they had paid him.
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
Mr.. A. Oppenheim moved the nomination of
James J. Egan as county attorney by acclama-
ton. Carried, and Mr.. Egan being called upon

the Democratic party of Ramsey county to
limit the time which any one should hold
county Office to two terms, and that hereafter
this course will be pursued.
STATE JUDGES.

The convention was dilatory on reassem-
bling, and at Sis the delegates and onlookers
joined in singing Marching Through Geor-

nally George William Curtis name was called

this in turn gave place 10 more songs, local
politicians coming out strong in the popular

convention and said he would like to inquire
If the committee on organization were ready
TO report. If so, we would be pleased to re-
ceive the report.
Mr. Husted-That committee is ready to re-
port if this convention is ready to receive their
report.

The next order of business before this conven-
