Mr.. Schurx In the West

new York IimesI
The work which the Hon. Carl Schurz Il
doing in the West Is CT kind that no
other public man Ia the country could do
80 well, II, indeed. any other public man
could approach IL. II consists In 4 plain,
candid appeal to the reason and conscience
Of people who have long since learned TO
respect and trust the speaker. Mr.. Schurz
has few Of the advantages commonly
considered necessary 10 an orator. His
voice Is distinct and penetrating, but
neither flexible nor musical. His ges-
lures are few and angular. He makes no
appeal TO passion and but few to senti.
ment, save the sentiment OF justice and
self.respect. But no one can hear him and
fail 10 recognize not only his sincerity, but
his earnestness, the vigor and acuteness Of
his mind, and the logic and precision Of
bis statements and arguments. Il Is
In the fidelity with which bis addresses
correspond to the integrity and clearness
Of bis intellect that he owes his cover a.
the strongest political speaker In the
United States. He wosld be a very weak

Money Wanted.

1t is really amusing to read the BLAINE
organs daily report from the headquarters
Of the Republican National Committee con-
corning what is expected here, there, and
everywhere in the Union. For example,
the Tribune Of yesterday reports that the
intelligence from the South grows more
hopeful from day to day. and says there is
no doubt the committee will conduct sue
cessiul campaign in more than one of the
southern States. "The South Is very ripe
for Republican missionary work." said one
OF the dispatches, "and you have more
strength there than you are counting
upon"
"The South is very ripe for Republican
missionaries" That means, "Glve us
money"

Perhaps Judge Brannon will be good
enough TO explain himself more fully on
the prohibition question. In the rural p0r-
tions OF the district he Is understood TO be
Probibitionist; in Wheeling he is under
stood to be an anti-Prohibilionist Wehsve
not understood that prohibition is an issue
in this State and in this congressional dis
tiict; but since Judge Brannon sees fit to
raise 1t. perhaps he will make il convenient
TO say where he stands. Wheeling Inte!h-

Mr. Plalne'S Vote.

The Prohibltionists OF Massachusetts, on
Wednesday. after nominating a candidate
for Governor, adopted declaration OF
principles in which they class the action Of
JAMES G. BLAINE in failing TO vote on the
Prohibition amendment in Maine as pro-
wing him to be ian eminently fit exponent
Of the cowardly position of his party on
the question of Prohibition" BLAINE
overreached himself when he made his

the right to spend their own money as they

malcontents and designing schemers
who hide behind nom dc planes ?
We have at various times and in divers
manners expressed our disapproVal OF
the practice, so common throughout

reason that the writers Of such 30 OF

cealed identity to utter statements
that they would not utter before d

signature, to the Unfair detrlment OF
the party criticised or the measure
commented upon, and for the further
reason that me reader has a right to
k,.ow who it is attempting to influence
his action or affect his opinion. Our
attention is called to this matter again
by the publication in the supplement
to Jast Saturdays issue of the Char

and reputation Of Lieutenant Govern

Democratic Principles and Honest

Our County Convention will meet
on Friday of this week. Let no per.
sonalcbickerings ncr unpleasant issues
come to the front in this important
meeting. Let personal views and In
dividual choice give way to Demo
cratic principles and honest measures.
And, to come down to literally prac,
tical matters, we beg the delegates,
even from the greatest distance, to be
promptly on hand at an early hour.
The Convention ought to be called to
orderat fl~o'clock,S A NJ, and pro-
ceed at once to work. As Secretary
ofths body, we remember well in the
pasthow many ills and bow much
dissatisfaction have resulted from as
s=mbling the Convention too late
thereby, causing the closing hours to
be scenes of confusion, desertion aud
irregularity.
