public man. He thinks his party pa

of Carlisle, and says of him, "l do not
think the democrats could have made a
better choice for speaker. Mr.. Car
Isle is one of the ablest members Of the
House, and a man of rare sagacity and
Judgment. He will be keen to fore
see the effect OF unwise legislation,

Monday, in speaking of the next ma
tienal republican convention:-"The one
great danger that menaces the coming
conventional menace that has threaten
ed to prove fatalto the highest usefulness
of some of its predecessors-is that a
combination of districts; in which
there is no republican strength to
speak of, may be able to force the NOM
ination OF a candidate for the presiden-
cy who is not the choice. of the states
which will be depended on to elect
him, or Of the great body of the party.
The Frye plan would prove fatal to
this. No valid reasOn can be urged
against it. 1t disfranchises nobody; it
is unjust to nobody. tits good repub-
lican doctrine that N republican is as
good as another republican, but not so
good as ten others. Under the system.
of representation which it is disposed
to supersede, one nan in die section is
made equal to hundreds in another,
and the states that will not give the
ticket an electoral vote may ncgerthe-
less absolutely control its nominations"
Well, the national committee met,
last Wednesday, and they refused to
adopt Mr.. Frye's plan, so the Gone
great DANGER still menaces ''the grand
old party"

Senator Sherman has gotten on the
democratic platform on the national
banking question. He said in the SEN
ate, Wednesday, unequivocally, that a
wise public policy demanded the con-
tinuance of the sinking fund operations
until every farthing of the public debt
shall have been paid. Senator Plumb
went even farther, and said that con-
gress should at one begin the consid-
Grafton Of a measure providing for
somethingto take the place of national
bank circulation. For saying just
what these gentlemen now advocate
democrats were denounced two years
ago as traitors who were hostile to the
national banks because they saved the
union. AS in the adjustment of the
so-called reconstruction policy; as on
the silver question; as on a reform of
the tariff, Dur republican friends have
all along been just a little behind the
procession. Welcome Sherman and
Plumb | The national banks must go.

A Washington correspondent among
other things says:-"Mrs. Belmont,the
mother of Perry Belmont Of New
York, has been here experimenting
the fitting up of her sons bachelor
home. There is a great diversity OF
statement as to this home of Mr.. Bel
mont's. Some people declare that it
is to be the most superb in its fittings
and fnishings, and that Belmont's
bachelor receptions are to be some
thing marvellous, while others who are
in position to know, say it is not at all
elaborate in its furnishings, and that
Belmont does not propose to do any
thing extravagant or grand in the way
of entertainments, but rather the re-
verse;" MI. Belmont is wealthy. 1t
is eminently proper that he should live.
in comfort and like a gentleman. But
he is a democrat and. aspires to be q
statesman. The democratic party
hopes from what he has thus far done
as a congressman that his ambition in
this direction will be fulfilled. 1t
would lose this hope were he TO be-
come too aesthetic, and give more at
tention to luxury and bric-a-brac than
to books and public questions. r
