BIaIne's American League
Scheme.

New York, TO- Sans Washington:
A new chapter in the history Of Blaine'a
diplomatic career has come to light. His
attempt, undertaken without the sanction
of the President or the authority Of Con-
grees, to create great American league
has stirred up q good deal of feeling.
His friends still insist that if the Rdminie-
traitor had been wise it would have re-
tanned him, and his policy. It is now
known shat he wrote two letters, one d.
rsctly to the South Amerissn govern
ments, without consulting with their rep
resentatives in Washington, and the other
TO our representatives. besides. he first
invited the governments to send delegates
here, and the second instructed our rep
resentstives to urge the acceptance Of the
invitation, and promised that this gov
eminent would bear all the expenses of
the convention. One of the objects Of
the convention was to concoct q Joint
tariff discrin. mating against all European
countries and in favor of all American
governments. The scheme was to form
> sort Of polittcsl and commercial league
between the United States and South
American countries. European legations
in South America were put on the 9ui
UiVe at once, and it was easy for them to
throw obstacles in Blsine's path. Their
commercial and financial influence in
eouth America was entirely too potent
ARd the projected conference of Ameri-
can powers was nipped in the bud.

THE FAIRnONT NOMINArIoN.

The nomination of Hon. JOHN w.
MASON by the Second District Congress
sional Convention, yesterday, was a
very judicious stroke Of political policy.
They could scarcely have done better
and might have done far worse. Hthe
Second District Is determined to have a
Republican delegate, We are highly
pleased that he shall be no more objec-
tionable specimen than JOHN w.
MASON. We could, at least, afford to
endure him until the Democracy of that
district come to their senses and conclude
to have Democrat.
1t is a habit the Republicans have OF
putting their best foot foremost when
their opponents are in a strait. And we
now notify the Democrats Of the Second
District that they have to meet a cand-
idate who will poll the entire strength
of his party, and if they do not go into
the campaign in the same spirit of unity
and harmony they deserve to be beaten,
as they certainly will be.
In the meantime We congratulate Mr..
MASON on the flattering distinction
conferred upon him by his party. We
recognize in him all the qualities of a
worthy and honorable opponent and
shall be glad to see him make
creditable campaign-though we hope
he may not be successful this time
some other time.

HON. y. HANSON coon.

Although ]. HANSON GOOD is still
young man, his name has been familiar
TO the veters of the First Congressional
district for number of years rs pros
pective Representative of this district in
the Congress of the United States.
With too much native mOdesty to
press his own suit in this behalf-at
least with that pertinacity which makes
the modern successful politician--he
has nevertheless not been forgotten by
his friends until the time ar
rived when the nomination has
sought him, and with practically no OPP
position, he became the unanimous
choice, on the first ballot, of the eOnyen-
ton assembled yesterday, at Weston.
His predecessor Col. BEN. WILSON,
together with the friends Of that gentle
man, gracefully and cordially gave Mr..
GOOD their united support, 50 that from
one end of the district to the other there
was happy concurrence in the choice
of Mr.. GOOD as the man to carry the
banner of the Democracy Of this district
in the coming campaign. That he will
poll the entire strength of the party is
only a reasonable prediction, and that
he will do more than that in this cOun-
ty is confidently claimed by his friends.
We do not wish, however, to flatter
Mr.. Good or the Democratic party with
the idea that any candidate, however
popular he may be, can have walk
over in the campaign in this district.
The representative from the First dis
trict has never had the pleasure of re-
garding his campaign in the OtiIB' cum
dig6tdti style. On the contrary, it has
always been and probably always will
be the most hotly contested district of
the State.
Under the new arrangement of the
districts the Democratic majority is
reasonably secure, but cannot be said to
be absolutely safe. In the last PreSi-
dental election, Hancock's plurality
was little les that l 800 votes.
With Mr.. GOOD's well known talents
a. public speaker and his ability to
meet any candidate whom the OPpos-
ing party may conclude to nominate,
his election promises to be as triumph
ant as his nomination has been, and
we think we can promise on his part
that he will make the campaign hot
enough to meet the demands of the
most exacting opponent in the race.

IT will probably be discovered that
there is a. fair an understanding among
the European governments as to purely
military operations in Egypt as there
was in regard to military movements
when Russia invaded Turkey in 1873.
For the time being the matter is out OF
the hands of the diplomatists. Their
turn will come later, when it will posi-
bly, appear that England has a secret
understanding with Turkey and with
some other interested governments.
Russia was allowed to overrun Turkey;
France was allowed to invade Tunis,
and now Europe keeps hands off while
England fights her fight out with
Egypt.

PERSONAL VERSUS PUBLIC AND
PARTY CONSIDERATIONS.

1t is not worth while for the Spirit Of
Jefferson to attempt to draw the REGIS
TER into controversy with it or any
other paper that espouses ablind cham
pionship of one or the other candidates
who were before the keyser Conven-
ton,
1t is still more foolish and will he
equally futile to attempt to show that
the REGISTER has, does, or ever will
endorse, defend, or in any manner
trouble itself with the personal enmities
and examinations that have been logged
into that contest.
A public journal that can find moth
ing better to do than to become the We
hicle for an exchange of personal vitu-
peration and abuse between two candi-
dates has very low conception of its
Office.
We have not known either Mr.. LU-
CAS- or Mr.. HoGE in the questions grow
ing out of the keySer Convention. We
have no feeling of partiality or preju'
dice toward one or the other, in a per-
Sonal sense. The REGISTER did not
before, during, nor has not since the
Convention, attempted to champion or
promote the individual and personal
claims of either of those gentlemen.
Neither will we do so in the future. AS
8 public journal the REGISTER has en-
deavored and will continue to represent
the party rather than person or a
faction.
Neither have we endeavOred to cover
up or cOndone the conduct of that con-
vention. On the contrary the Spirit Of
Je5crsOn quotes from our columns some
criticism upon the rulings of the chair
man which it evidently regards as Sc
we're, and over which it seems to eXult
as though the criticism might have
crept in by inadvertence or mistake.
We have not attempted to justify the
proceedings Of the convention in any
particular. But while we have de-
nOunced the conduct of the convention,
we find that the most impartial specta-
tors are unable to determine which fac
ton was the more to blame for that
conduct-tha while the rulings of the
chair are on all sides admitted to have
been arbitrary, it is claimed that he was
driven to this course as the only posi-
bic means of makingany progress in its
proceedings.
The only question, therefore, that we
have thought worthy Of discussion, and
the only one that has thus far claimed
our attention, is, which of the candi-
dates had q majority Of the delegates.
