George II. knight of Californi;
is prominent representative dele
gate to the Republican Convention
now in session at Chicago. The
San Francisco Post says: Knight
in his speech at Chicago, Monday
didn't say anything about the
nodding pines of the Sierra Nevada
renewing the assuranceg of their
distinguished consideration to the
tamaracks of Maine, but, neverthe-
less, was not forgetful Of the i'm
portance of the timber question.
The Pacific Coast wanted the fight
to take place under the broad oak
of right As nodding pines failed
to work in 1880, Mr.. Knight shows
judgement in having recourse to
harder wood.

The Stockton Mail SAYS: "The
nomination of Blaine by the Re.
publicans render it a matter Of ne.
cessity for the Democrats to bring
out Tilden and Reform with the
barrel thrown in to assist the return
to the simplicity and purity of
earlier times" The Mail is very
frank about Tilden's barl. But
the Mail says that if Tilden will
not accept the only man to bring
out against the white Plumed
Knight, in such a desperate CON
tingency, would be Ben Butler,
the Massachusetts, reformer." It
is laughable to observe what con-
fusion and CONSERVATION the nomi-
nation of Blaine has caused among
the Democracy.

Mr.. Chamberlain's recent speech
in Parliament, which occupied
three and three-quarters hours, is
said to be one Of the longest ever
delivered in the House of Commons.
It was remarked as an exceptional
physical performance, that the
President of the Board of Trade
spoke without pausing to take even
a drink Of water.
This is certainly a long speech
but we believe Judge Healey of
this city could do better.

For President.
For vice President,
Why rILDRx :DEcLrxED.

Four years ago Tilden wrote a
letter to the Democratic Convcn-
ton which was nothing less than a
bid for the Presidential nomina-
ton. The convention disregarded
the spirit of the letter and nominated
Handbook. Tilden never forgave
the Democracy for this refusal to
interpret q document which was
really almost as untranslatable IS
his famous cipher dispatches. He
waited for his revenge, and now af-
ter he has been declared the al
most unanimous choice of nearly
every State Convention, after the
Bourbons have been enthusing and
clamoring for him, he thrusts his
knife to the hilt into the lost hopes
Of the Democratic party and de-
clines to run. It is the most stag
gering wound they have ever re-
ceiyed. It is like pulling a favor
lite horse from . race just before the
judges call upon the riders to
mount. This means that Ben Butler |
is now the favorite in the field and
that Blaine will be the next occu-
pant of the White House.

j. P. Matthews, presided over Re-
publican county convention on the

keep out of politics." the Copiah
Declaration Of Independence and
patriots to the contrary notwith-
standing, and nothing but speedy
and vigorous action on the part Of
the aforesaid patriots will have the
