proved false by his appearance upon

health considering his fall.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1882-06-16
The Last Ditch Boilers.

The Republican State Central Commit
tee of Pennsylvania has for weeks had Il
standing offer, still continuing, that if
the boltcrs will vote at primary cleo
tion of the party with the regulars to de-
eide which of the two tickets shall re-
main in the field, the regular candidates
will withdraw in the event that ma
iority Of the Republican voters decide in
favor Of the boilers candidates. The fol-
lowing is from Washington dispatch to
the New York Tribune of Monday:
Senator Mitchell says that If any compromise is
reached ut any time It will not be done by outside
interference Of any kind, but by tie action of the
people. II there should be popular call all over
the state Tor a new convention to be elected by
popular and Republican methods, that demand
would necessarily receive attention But even
then, he thinks, many Of ihc Independents would
be unwilling TO abandon heir t!cket, inasmuGh as
they are confident TINT the course they are pursu-
ing will result in the destruction uf The Cameron
machine, and they DO not feel 10 sure Of the results
tfGny other course,
The animus Of the boilers could not be
better stated. Outside interference "
cannot, says the ringlcadcr Of the bolt
ers, effect any compromise. That is ia
say, the boilers will fight even though
outside interference at Washington
should secure an absolute concession o.
all their demands. "The action Of the
people" can alone reconcile the ihalcon

tents. But in the next breath Senator
Mitchell hedges, and virtually says that
the people shall not settle the quarrel
either. He says that new convention,
chosen by all the Republicans, "would
necessarily receive attention" "BUT
cCen hen," as the Independents do not
feel "sure of the results of any other
course" than their present one, they
would abe unwilling to abandon their
ticket" Ofcourse he limits this to "many
of the Independents" but he plainly
means all that he and his fellows can
control. In short, the majority of the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania, even if they
speak through a new convention, will
not be respected by certain implacables
of the minority, who consider the de-
struction of individual Republicans as a
higher duty than the defeat of the Bour-
bon Democracy. This is the talk of de-
featcd and desperate men. 1t is a con-
fession that they are not majority, as
they have hitherto claimed, but only q
faction of malcontents, who seek to
blackmail the party by threatening its
destruction. They will become daily more
and more cnraged as they find their fol.
lowers returning to the party, leaving
them in outer darkness.

TOUCHING ROMANCE.

A number of years ago some miners in Wales, in
exploring an old pit that had long Leon closed,
found the body Of n young man dressed In a

had been betr)lhcd sixty years before. The lover

her faith during the long Interval. Time had

affairs. Chill will never force terms
on Peru WITHOUT securing the APP
proval and moral support of the United
States, if she is assured that we will
attempt no uninvited control. Peru will
accede to any advice the United States
would give, for she would be trusting a
powerful friend. Peace will come soon
after the last traces of Mr.. Baine's South
American policy are extinguished. This
will not magnify Mr.. Blaine nor promote
the schemes of the guano-hunters. But
it will bring an honorable peace in South
America and vindicate the claim of the
United States to peaceful but supreme
sway in'the affairs of this Western hemi-
sphere.

North Carolina,

The Republicans of North Carolina,
acting through State convention which
must be credited with full power to speak
for the whole party-for there were no
contesting delegations-ha with unan-
unity and enthusiasm extended the right
hand of fellowship to the Liberals, whose
convention acted one week before, and we
have now in that State union of voters
opposed to Bourbonism. The result cannot
be doubtful. With the friends of Law
and Order united, and with the Bourbon
hide-bound Democracy deprived of the
support of its progressive elements, the
majority for Dockery, the joint candidate of
The two parties for Congressman-at-larg
may safely be estimated at from twenty
Eve to thirty thousand. There will be
fair elections all over the State for the
hrst time in many years. The Republi-
cans have not lacked in courage, disci.
pline, or devotion to the cause, but
!here are regions where they are
weak in numbers. Supplemented in
these localities by Liberal Democrats,
who are tired and disgusted with Bour-
bon election frauds practiced by the
small coteries in possession of the "regu-
lar organization," we shall find the Lib
eral cause triumphant where for years it
has been buried up under tricks and
crimes against which Independent Demo-
Gratis are now in rebellion.

Vantion Of the Independents having pro-

The nominee for Congressman-at-large
Mr.. Dockery, is a sterling Republican
and an able man, who has before
represented North Carolina Republicans
in Congress. He is deservedly popular
The other nominations are all for ju
dicial offices and are of worthy men. The
platform is noble and patriotic. Its refer
ence to the responsibility of the Demo
cratic party for the prohibition bill o
last year, which the people defeated by
1lG,000 majority, was n statement of fac
which will remind thousands of Demo
Gratis to vote against the party which ha
hitherto controlled them. Republican
who voted for the bill stand under N
ban, are given no test with which t.
comply, and are known to be as mucl
too brave to recant their opinions a

support of Republicanism. They al
