Germs upon which general prosperity

industrial problems of the time. No
mou of possible goodness could alter
the fact that it hasn't enough, o

The Caucus anu Mr.. Randall.

The widelv-advertised Democratic
caucus must inevitably be voted q grand
failure by the whole country. People
of all shades of political opinion had
looked forward to it with keen interest,
and no matter what the nature OF their
expectations We're. its lame aud i'm
potent conclusion will prove a wet
blanket of disappointment to all classes.
Ardent frce-traders who had looked
forward to the pleasing spectacle of
seeing the obstreperous protectiOnists
limp NO forth from the caucus with the
brand of II nry WatersOn's rot poker
still smoking on their exec: lated per-
sons must bitterly feel that they have
been grossly deceived. Democrats who
yearn for the long denied solace of Fed
eral offices. md consequently believe in
the necessity of harmonious uni n until
the control OF the Government has been
secured. can take no comfort in the
surety that the conflict evaded by the
caucus is rendered 4 certainty on the
fl. or of the Use: and the Democrats
who are in favor Of capturing the offices
first and wrestling with distract ng
questions of principles afterward are
uuqu~estionably the larger portion Of
the party.
MIR. Randall, however. has no reason
to be dissatisfied. He is certainly
master of the situation. At his back he
has a following large enOughto beat any
Tariff bill proposed, whether it be hori-
%zOntal, perpendicular. or diagonal.
And he has notified his opponents that
he is opposed to the present agitation of
the tariff question. He has the serene
satisfaction of knowing that his con-
stitlents Loyalty share his sentiments and
indOrse his course. Furthermore. dis
pite all the ~gasconading talk of reading
him out of his party. he has now the
profound satisfaction of knowing that
he has been conceded the right OF taking
any course on the tariff question ne may
please without having his partisan loyal
ty questioned. The effect OF the caucus
upon his fortunes as IN aspirant to tho
nomination must be OF the
most decisive character. Every passing
day renders it more certain that Penn

This Year the Appeal is to Reason,

The first duty of the Republican par
ty in 1884 is to carry Maine and Ohio
in the early fall. The next is to elect
the whole National ticket. Congress in
cluded. in November, and thus save the
important National measures with
which the Republican party is identi-
fled. Both matters are worthy of the
energy and enthusiasm of an united
party. Success will conquer for four
years stability IN the laws and a fair
show for business prosperity. DEFEAT
Will add to the business depression now
prevailing. upset a great amount of ex-
cellent legislation, and throw the
affairs into confusion. Republicans
should plant their banners now, and
rally every man in every town and ham
let in the country to the work that is in
hand. No matter if it does look like q
good bearing year for the organization
that has 10 happily and VIGOROUSLY
ruled the destinies of the Republic since
the Democratic overthrow of twenty
four years ago. No good ever came
from sitting on ones doorstep and
watching the crops grow. They have
to be titled diligently and earnestly; and
the harvest is always the product of Ia
boriOus and intelligent toll.
Time was when elections were o
by an appeal to sentiment. That time
may come again. But this year the ap-
peal must be to reason. Republican
growth in the South is almost wholly
due to the spreading appreciation by
thinking men, that the material inter-
ests of that section will thrive best I'M
der the Republican National policy.
Conviction is always slow to take hold
of man; hut it comes at length from
the continued presentation OF solid facts
and arguments, and thus must be the
plan of the campaign in 1884. Repub-
lican strength in 1884 will be chiefly due
to the impregnable position of the party
all matters affecting the moral and
interests of the country. Sue
in September, October and No.
will be the more certain and
more brilliant. the greater the energy
with which the party EMPLOYS the
moral arguments at cOmmand.-N. Y.

Without Straw" and many other re-
publican campaign documents, and
at the present time editor and pro-

lished in New York city, says:
'Mr. Blaine has nothing of sub
stantial strength in his own record
with which to rally the disaffected
or apathetic even of his own party.
He was one of the few young men
of his own party who, at the very eli
max of his manhood, while enjoying
the most robust physical health, was
able to resist the Infectious glow of
patriotism during the nations great
ordeal. During that time, when
even the plOw-handles burned the
clOdhopper's hands so that he was
perfOrce compelled to drop them and
catch up the musket, Mr.. Blaine res
olutely withstood the temptation to
serve his country in the field, resis-
ted the example of so many of his
associates in the halls of congress,
and seduOusly kept soft seat warm
and filled his purse by the opportu-
mites which period of war always
offers to men of thrift, GOODNESS and
