at the head of the New York delegation at the
night session, and announced the vote of the
State upon the presidential nomination
There could not have been a stronger and
more public acquiescence in the previous work
of the convention.
There never was fairer convention held in
the United States than the convention of j une
81, nor result more fairly reached. Time
and again the individual roll of delegates was
called. Attic demand of any one man the whole
roll of the State was called name by name,
and the vote individually recorded. No
mans vote, out of the 800, could have been
cast against his wish. The untrammeled,
individual choice of two-thirds of the conven-
ton was James G. Blaine. He is no worse
man to-day than in 1876, when George
William Curtis said he had made "a thorough
refutation" of the charges brought against
him. Mr.. Curtis and his associate Repub-
icans, who now ''bolt," knew that Mr.,
Blaine's nomination was an imminent proba-
of delegates participated in the convention
from beginning to end, even after the nom
nation had been made, and, in the language
we have quoted, Mr. Curtis, at least, repealed
the insinuation that the nominee of the con
vention could not be, and would not be, sup
ported by every delegate. We submit that
his present ''bolt" is not within the limits of
the law of conscience, cannot be justified
before either the party Or the country, and
must be regarded as the assertion simply of a
petulant personalism, at once destructive of all
party organization as it is pitiable travesty
upon that individual freedom for which the
Republican party stands, and must always
continue to stand.

and refuses to be cajoled or bullied. The
new industrial interests at Nashville, Chatta-
nooga, northern Alabama and Georgia, and
which are the legitimate and expected out
come of the American policy of protecting
American enterprise, are creating sentiment
in those States that can not be easily over
come. The American is undoubtedly backed
by public sentiment in its position on the tar
if question, OF it would be compelled to re-
hnquish it in Difference to its patrons. The
Courier-Journal may scold all it pleases; the
American can not afford to take other
view than it does, and it is evi'
dent enough that the day is not
far distant when the Democratic
party must lose a considerable portion of its
constituency unless it modify its threatening
attitude toward the American idea of protec
ton. The hundreds of Democrats in the
South who have put their money into the ex-
pertinent of iron and cotton mills, and the
thousands of Democrats in that section who,
for employment, depend upon the success o.
this experiment, will not patiently submit to
any action hostile to it.

in the meadow pitching hay. He knew that
was going to do that job, and he went down
there day or two before and fixed one of the
haycocks so it could not be lifted. He ran a long
wire through it in such way as to hold it to-

the stack to a post which he had driven in the

early in the day. 1 drove my fork into the top,

1t didn't bulge. 1 tried it once more with
little extra strength, and broke the fork clean off
at the handle. A boy sitting on a rail fence
snekered, and l knew something was up. A
moments examination convinced me that the
stack was tied down. and just then the boy who
had laughed pointed in the direction of another
stack not far away. felt it in my bones that
Jim Blaine was hiding there. So l crawled up
kind of easy, and finding him watching the per-
Torrance on his hands and knees, with some of
the grass thrown over him, 1 got behind him
and raised him one with my boot. l was mad,

he shot out of the stack head first, as if he had

a while, tell you and there was lively scat

THE Supreme Court of New York, following
the only too numerous precedents, has come
to the rescue of the murderous policeman,
Conroy, sentenced to death after fair trial,
by setting aside the verdict on technical
grounds. Conroy's crime was one Of the
most malicious and brutal of the many that
are annually perpetrated in that city, his vic
tim having given no offense whatever. The
crime was all the more unpaliated because it
was done by a drunken officer
of the law under cover of his
authority. The police of New York city have
been guilty of quite number of wanton MUIR
ders, recklessly crushing skulls with their
maces or doing the business up in short order
by the aid of the revolver. The conviction
of Conroy was received with every evidence of
satisfaction on the part of the law-abiding ell
ement of the city, and it was hoped that it
would have a salutary restraining effect.
Now, however, he is given new
trial. and it is very doubtful if
a second conviction will follow. Justice is
Knocked by the Supreme Court, and the
spirit of the law is trampled on and killed in
the anxiety to do reverence to the technical
letter of the law How long intelligent peo-
pie will tolerate these periodical outrages of
justice remains to be seen; but it cannot be

Republicans will not make it lively for the Dem

impression as to the means by which it was or
ganized The Indiana Republicans, and all that
are informed on the politics of that State, are
organization, and that the same Republicans who
then organized the victory by honest work and
by the systematic vigilance to make an honest
election, are now confident of a still greater pop

THERE is nothing like Chicago Journal
ISM" The Times has a specially-reported in
terview with Ben Butler, in which he is rep
resented as saying:
"Mr. Blaine is a protectionist, and New
York has become the greatest manufacturing
State III the Union and Connecticut and New
Jersey are in proportion equally interested in
the tariff question. Now, everybody knows
that upon that question General Hancock was
beaten in New York, and everybody also knows
that the establishment Of free trade in this
country would benefit England and her de-
Tendencies more than all other countries in
the world. 1t will be very difficult to convince
a large class of our citizens, especially those
who are not in love with England OF her insti-
buttons OF her treatment of Ireland that it is
best to vote for the candidate of the Demo
cratic party in favor of free trade, and thus
to play into the hands of John Bull"
In other words, Butler is of opinion that it
will be very hard to beat Blaine in New York,
a view shared in by unbiased people generally
But en- the very same day that the Times rep
resents Butler as above, the Chicago News has
is made to declare that Blaine has no strength
in New York, and, continuing
''He could not carry the State against JEFF
ferson Davis. The independents, strong
and powerful body, are against him. The la
Dor organizations will oppose him. and the
colored people are lukewarm in his support
When you add to this tremendous detection
the full Democratic vote Of this State you will
see that it doesn't take prophet nor the son
of prophet to foresee what the issue of the
contest will be- The same is true of Massa-
chusetts, but the bolt there has greater viril-
ity and more intensity. The business element
never can be reconciled to Blaine, and without
its solid support the outlook is not bright"
Now, with all of Buffers we'll known dema-
gogy, few will be brought to believe that he is
a fool, or that he would give the lie to himself
between rising and setting of the sun. Let
one OF the other of these views be ascribed to
him, it matters little which, though it certain
ly appeals to reason that the former is entitled
to acceptance above the idiotic bravado of the
latter.

THE CHICAGO SHARK,

Some unsophisticated persons may have
wondered, when reading in their morning
paper of the previous days defalcations, why
bank cashiers and trusted clerks should be
peculiarly susceptible to the destinations of
grain gambling and like speculations. That
this is the case would seem to follow from the
fact that speculation is almost invariably
ascribed as the cause of their downfall A
little light is thrown on the subject by the
confession of Cleveland bank teller who got
rid of 100000 belonging to the depositors
From his disclosures it appears that the posi-
ton of trust does not of itself lead the holder
into dishonest practices, but that he is be-
sieged with enticing pictures of what a little
money can do until the temptation to take
the money overcomes him. This teller was
led away by the plausible circulars
sent to his address by a Chicago
broker. The circulars were worded
in a smooth, easy manner, which hid the objec
tionable features of the business, and solicited
the patronage of the recipient at stated rates
of commission. Bank employees are not neces
sarily good business men out of their own
special line, and they are as easily caught by
the tempting chance of making big profits
through the fluctuations of the market as any
other class of men, The Chicago broker is
aware of this, and can hardly be supposed to
ignore the fact that where another man would
not invest through lack of funds the cashier
or book-keeper can secure the money. On in
quiry by a reporter, it was discovered that
nearly all bank employees and men employed
in responsible positions by other firms are in
constant receipt of beguiling letters and
printed matter from enterprising Chicago
brokers' If this is true in Cleveland, it is
true elsewhere, and makes many a case Of
embezzlement clear. The Chicago broker is
shark from whom the man holding another's
property in trust should pray to be delivered.
