E1rpr, Weekly is at hand with its 'edi-
tor.d protest against the work Of the
Chicago Convention. Mr.. Curtis for all
political purposes is Harper's Weekly, and
since Ar. Curtis took go prominent part
IN the conyention it will not be dis
courteous or nnproleesional to consider
Hapas WtskIy as Mr.. Curtis for this oc-
ca.ion. a. ,tz5 =,
Mr. Curtis admits, wha. nobody mas pre-.
e1nsd to deny, tia! "ths nomination Of
Mr. Blaine is agreeable to msjority Of the
party" This admits the whole Gaze as far
nRep1blicaas ste concerned. II the will
ot.he fairly ascartained majority is to rule
the minority must submit, unless it be held
,has the msiorisy is corrupt and disloysl
aadits work likely to ieopardizs the safety
ct our Institutions. rs,
M,. Curtis does no. sly that the over
Shelning nsiority Of the Republican
pnty is corrupt, that it is in league with
one mans selfish ambition to ruin the party
aud destroy the country. He does not
charge that the nomination OF Mr.. Blaine
is the result Of conspiracy. He admits
its popular origin and iorce; but he says
The nominations" Blaine and Logan
were made sgains: the aos. friendly Re.
publican remcnstrance."
The renons,rance does not apply to the
Arthur men, who stood up manfully ior
their layorl,e and as maniully accept the
result ltmeans the little band OF indie.

Curtis and the dude politicians who train
with hin-neither their fne scholarship
nor their AHhetic bearing aEed the con,
ventiou, made up for the mos. part Of plain
eTe'ydiy men representing the average
citizenship Of the country. They were
there to dictate and went home discom

naj''i'y ofanything, bu. they were impo
nnsir their efforts 10 consolidate the anti
BIaius nino,ities into an effective force
aud this Tor q reason which Mr.. Curtis ad
nie-"because large part Of the apparen
opposition" was for B.aine. ~ ssis,,5s &:
NJ. Curtis complaint then is that b,
aud his friends we're not allowed to haiv,
'hei way; that is all there is Of it, and it il
avery slight foundation for his s.ric;ureI
