THE CONFERENCE IDEA
STILL MEETING WITH FAVOR.

tOAecOmpiAh for the Party.

Grafton SeniiHe!.
The recen. suggestion ofthe Wheeling
ISrRLLIdRNCeR to hold State Republican
mass meeting in the interests OF harmony,
as well as to lay out plan to wrest from
the Bourbon Democracy the power they
are abusing, has given rise to much dis
cuesion in the State press and among Re.
publicans.
The proposition, evidently made with a
view to further the interests OF the party,
should meet with careful consideration at
the hands OF the Republicans of West
Virginia. Whether or not the proposition
is feasible will, Of course, be brought out
in its discussion.
So far the plan has met with considers
BILE encouragement, and, with very few ex-
ceptious, members OF the party express
themselves as being in hcaIty accord with
the idea. They seem to beunited in the
belief that such a meeting, il conducted
discreetly and harmoniously, would result
iu good 10 the party, and be q move toward
the uniting OF all tue elements opposed TO
Bourbon methods and practices, which
move would surely eliminate in the COM
plete overthrow Of that faction.
We ara in favor OF any movement that
has for its object the best interests oil the
Republican party, and we believe that such
conference as is suggested, with an honest
end in view, would be largely attended and
kresult in much good, providing the invita-
ton is issued to all persons desirous OF see
ing q reform in the administration OF our
State affairs and the rebuking OF the Bour'
bon mismanagemtnt Of West Virginia.
With the cooperation ofthe anti.Bourbon
element in the Democratic party success is
assured. This assistance cannot be secured
save by broad and liberal policy on the
part OF the Republicans. In this
matter the people-the Taxpayers
who are suffering by reason Of the Bourbon
maladministration of atfaire, should be the
one 10 give utterance to their opinions and
formulate plans, and the politicians should
take back seats The machine" should
/ be conspicuous for its absence, and the fix
iny OF "slates" be looked upon with dis.
favor. Perfect unity should exist among
Republicans, aud harmony be the supreme
ruler ot the meeting II such conference
is held let it be meeting ot the people and
not a gathering Of politicians. Let It be an
anti. i.bourbon demonstration ln every sense
Of the term, and on the part OF the pub.
lIcaus let il be manifestation Of good Will
for each other and for all who desire 10
unite with them 10 crush out the ring OF
unscrupulous politicians who have proven
themselves false to every VOW, Rpd forfeit
ed the confidence OF all citizens who loye.
good government, economical! handling oil
the public money, progress and prosperity.
II these are the ideas intended to be con-
yeyed by the 1NTELLIdENoRR, we have no
hesitaucy in adding our amen to the sus-
gestion. -- /.

BLAINE VERSUS ARTHUR.
The Maine Statesman Reported Will
ing to Enter the Lists.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The Tribune has the
following special from Washington: There
have been assertions and denals without
number made in regard to President Arthur's
supposed desire to succeed himself in the
presidential chair It is no longer a secret,
and his most intimate friends now
admit, that while he is in no sense
an applicant for the honor he will
not decline a denomination. So far no very
prominent Republican has been willing to
step in the ring and contest the nomination
with him. Blaine has been away from the
city for some time, but has been telegrap pied
for. He will be here next week, when his
friends will talk the matter over with him.
He, too. has stated that he is not candidate,
that his two efforts to get the nomination
were all that he wanted in that direction.
His friends now are confident that he will
allow the use Of his name as against Arthur
under the circumstances
Several Republicans, VINO were prominent
candidates, seem to have given up all hope.
dom followed when he found he was beaten
for the senate. The boonls for Logan and
Harrison died out on their own account The
Gresham boom was never weighty enough to
demand respectable consideration. That
cleaned up the list Arthur and Blaine are
left, and there are many who are well up in
the political affairs of the country who re-
gard the race for the nomination as between
them. The presidents New York friends are
losing no opportunity now to impress others
with the belief that he will accept the nomi-
nation if rendered him.

CINCINNATI. Nov. 27.-The Enqunsr's New
York correspondent tsiegFapks: Ceei Schurz
has left The Post, it 10 said. Gedkin, now
editor, remarks: ''Gov. Cleveland gives fEEh
Importance to the Grady ISSUE by making
Ion. statement of his attitude toward
it. He says he wrote John Kelly,
asking to have Grady withdrawn as a
candidate for state senator, because Grady
was bad man, and it would be for the in
tersst of the party and the people to have
him out of the senate. He wrote to Kelly in
confidence, believing him to be his friend,
and knowing that Kelly, as boss, controlled
absolutely Grady's denomination. He thinks
Kelly acted in an ungentlemanly manner in
giving the letter publicity, and then pre-
tending that it broke up the harmony pro-
ceedings concerning the city nominations. In
short, the governor takes the ground that
Kelly is bold, bad man, whose 'odious boss
system will soon be swept away by the peo-
pie. This is a risky position for any Demo-
cratic statesman to assume who has aspira-
tons for Office. That the estimate of Kelly
lie accurate nobody can deny; but de-
nouncing him as one thing, and sweeping
him away is another. His followers stick to
him because he leads them where they want
to go, and gets for them what they want
most. The governors difference with him is
one which sooner or later every honest leader
in the party is bound to have; but it has been
shown repeatedly that the leader who forces
it does SO at the sacrifice of his political

collision at Hol Ozueng, and after o
seven hours engagement the Chinese
were repulsed by the combined forces
of the French garrison and gunboats
1t appears from the meagre details
that the Chinese were the assailants.
If this be true, it tends to prove that
The Celestial is not the and

would have us believe. The Chinese,
since coming in contact with civiliza-
ton have modernized their methods
Of warfare. They now have the latest
approved appliances Of var, and have
evidently been trained in an effective
handling of them, for the French
officially report a series Of casualties.
This engagement settles the question
OF war. Hcstilities having actually
begun, the issue must he determined
by the force Of arms. Some stirring
times may now be anticipated. With
