the United States.

The Second Annual Convention of the Citi-
zens Law and Order League of the United
States will be held August 28th and 29th. 1884
at Lake Bluff, ILL.,, near Chicago The Cit-
zens' Law and Order Leagues OF the several
States are requested to send delegates to that
Convention. The number of delegates is not
limited, but the order of business will provide
that the vote to which any State may he en-
TITLED, shall be cast by the delegat ls attending
without regard to their number. All local
Leagues in State where no State organiza-
tion exists, are also requested to send dele
gates. Visitors from ether organizations of
like nature will be welcome. Addresses are
expected from some of the most eminent pub
lie speakers of the country, and the reports of
the work of the Citizens Leagues in different
parts OF the country cannot fail to be of great
interest.
All State and local Leagues appointing dele
gates are requested to inform the undersigned
Secretary of such appointment, without delay
Persons desiring to organize Law and Or
der League in any locality where none now
exist, may apply to the Secretary for necessary
documents and forms of organization.
Reduced rates of Railroad and Hotel Fares
are expected for all delegates Arrangements
Will be made for holding one or more mass
meetings in behalf of the United States League
in the City of Chicago, on the Sunday evening
following the Convention,
The necessity for Law and Order oiganiza-
tions is obvious. They afford a common grouod
on which all good citizens, of whatever sect or
party, can act together for the accomplishment
OF ends in which they all agree. The Citizens
Leagues take the enforcement of the laws out
OF The Conflicts of party politics, and place it on
the higher ground of universal duty. They
make war only against the violstors of the
laws. They select the Liquor laws for enforce
ment because they most deeply concern the
public welfare and the best interests of society
For any further information, the Secretary,
j.. U. Shatfer, l26 Washington street, Chicago,
Ill, may be addressed.

The Ex MarshaI'S Case.


The hearing in the matter of ex-Marsha'
Andre Ws's petition for writ of certiordri
on Saturday euabled Judge Goddard TO read
to the court an elaborately prepared address
in which he advanced several curious propo-
sitinns of law aud unreason, supplementary
to the speech he made on the occasion of the
hearing by the Board of Aldermen. The
most remarkable feature of the effort per-
haps was the labored attempt to show tha.
the few words addressed TO the Aldermen at
the close Of the nearing by the Mayor con-
stituted new charges, upon which, and not
upon those bout which testimony had been
taken, the Marshal had been removed. That
proposition is likely to find favor only among
men bereft of common sense. Ex-Mayor
Libby explained the nature and the legal
competence of the answer made by the May
or and Aldermen to the unnatural pre-
sumption of the counsel for the removed
Marshal that their action in removing him
was not determined by the evidence pro-
duced at the hearing on the charges made
by the Mayor.
The course of the ex-Marshal, acting un-
der advice of his counsel, has had one result
from which he will not get much satsfac-
tion. The Mayor and five members of the
Board of Aldermen have now certified that
they judged from the evidence that be was
guilty on all the charges brought aga nst
him, including the charge of taking bribes.
In other words, they explicitly declare
that they believe him to have been not only
inefficient in his Office but corrupt. 1t
strikes US hat it would have been quite as
well for him if he had not provoked this
declaration of the full scope of the condem-
nation under which he had fallen. If either
he or the Democratic party can extract any
comfort from this verdict of six of his fel-
low citizens whose honorable character is as
well established as that of those who sub
sciibe to This judgment, they are strangely
constituted. The ambition of partisans to
make capital out of this proceeding is not
likely to succeed, but the ex-Marshal will be
The victim of the effort

or Offset the stigma of this solemn declara-
ton touching the substantial issues affecting
the ex Marshal's conduct in office.
The intimation of counsel for the ex-Mar-
shal that they were prepared to produce evi-
dence that the Mayor before his election had
conspired to remove the marshal was
promptly met by the counsel for the Mayor
and Aldermen by withdrawal of all ohiec-
tion on his part to the production of any tes-
timony of such nature which could be Civ
en-. He waived all objections of legal ma
ture to the presentation of this kind of evil
dence inviting them to bring it on. But the
Court promptly signified that anything OF
that SOFT would be ruled cut whether Mr..
Libby objected to it or not, because it was
not material or pertinent to the issue pre-
sented.
The Court ruled against the petitioner on
all points, and the case will go to the full
bench.

iean party of the nation who were not ready
and willing and glad to proclaim their rec
ogntIon of Mr.. Blaine's fitness and desery-
ing. While for some reasons they might
have preferred another leader in the con-
test, they acknowledged his ability and they
had confidence in his character and patriot
ism. The story of the efforts that were
made to effect a union of all who were not
for Blaine as first choice upon some other
candidate is succinctly and clearly told in
the following extract from letter in the
Boston Advertiser OF Saturday. 1t reveals
the whole business, and the reasons why it
did not, and could not succeed.
The efforts to unite the anti Blaine people were
many. There were conferences without number
Burle'gh of New York the Arthur mover, while
Foraker for Sherman, Lodge and Curtis for Ed
munds, represented the other side. The night be-
fore voting began tney were at work until nearly
morning. They were against Blaine, but on
nothing ese Foraker told them that he could save
Ohio going to Blaine only if the others came to
j hn Sherman. Lodge asked him if he had any
prospect of any other accessions. Foraker said
"No." Then the Arthur men were asked what they
would do. Burleigh figured awhile, and all he could
promise at the outside was 129 Arthur votes for
Sherman. None of Logan's friends would go to him
while the Westerners, who had voted for Edmunds
gave notice that their second choice was Blaine.
General Sherman was then discussed. Nothing but
availability could be urged in his favor. Lodge
thought him the only saviour from Blaine But
what could he DO? Only three New York delegates
we're for him, and seven of the Massachusetts Ed
munds men gave notice that they could not favor
him. Even Ohio could not be made solid for him.
while Arthur's friends, at least half of them. re-
fused to have anything to do with this movement.
1t was really the only diversion that promised
much, and when it brought to the test it atted
out. At the very last serious attention was given
to Arthur. He had about 2 0 delegates who were
fairly for him. Many of them were held by no tight
bands, but could be relied npon for time. Ed
munds had 80. Sherman 80, Logan 80 and Hawley
l2. These m ade total of 432, and All were nee
essary. None of the ohoans would hear of Arthur.
we can hardly hold our men for Sherman. With
him out, they all are for Blaine" was Foraker's ul-
timatum. A majority of the Ilinoi4 ans were prom
ised to Blaine from the outset and change from
Logan was only question of time. Even the Ed
munds people from New York and Massachusetts
were not united. OF he 8 in New York six preferred
Blaine to Arthur, and if Massachusetts had brok
en- at least eight Blaine votes would have been the
result Hoping almo st against hope, after Wednes-
day the anti Blaine elements tried to come togetber
but they found no way. So they went into FRIDAYS
session without plan and trusting to the unex-
pected. when the drift Was clearly for Blaine they
tried to adjourn and gain time, but the game was
up. The result was seen. So the Hawley and the
Edmunds bands made no change. 1t woald have
done no good.
The Portland daily press., 1884-06-16
1t Could Not be Prevented.

Mr.. Blaine was nominated at chicago be-
cause as matter of fact majority of the
delegates desired his nomination. We do
not mean merely that majority were will
ling TO have bm ior the candidate; but that
they positively desired it. The men who
voted for Sherman and for Logan on the
early ballots, half of those who voted for
Hawley and about one-thrd of those who
voted for Edmunds had no decided prefer
ence for those candidates, no resolute pur-
pose 10 persist in urging them, and they had
no objection to urge against Mr.. Blaine.
The Connecticut delegation, to he sure, did
vote for Hawley on the fourth ballot, but
half of them did so protesting that they
ought to be released from the obligation in
asmuch as in their judgment it was no long
er expedent. They desired Blaine's nom
ination all the time and they were so sure
that he was going to be nominated that the,
carried their pine cone badges to Chicago
with them expecting to have occasion to dis
play them on the way home.
Neither the supporters of General Logan
nor the supporters of Senator Sherman had
any reason for not supporting Mr. Blainr
except desire to secure the honor to citi-
zen of their State. When it became clear
that such hope was vain they were quite
ready to acknowledge the superior claims and
availability of the man from Maine. As for
President Arthur his bucket had no hoops.
1t could hardly hold itself together in the
agitations of the atmosphere. and it could
not be moved without falling in pieces.
Probably there were few Arthur men from
New York who believed, because they want
ed 10 believe, that Mr.. Blaine could not carry
the State; but large number of the dele
gates who for that reason, or any other, per-
sisted in voting for the President had no Sc
rious objection to Mr.. Blame. They did not
care to be recorded as voting for him; but
they we're not unwilling that he should sue
ceed. The few who were in earnest in their
opposition to Mr.. Blaine did not object to
him for the same reasons that actuated the
determined supporters of MIR. Edmunds.
In fact the Eimunds men from New York
and Massachusetts, with very few from
other States, were the only men 10 the con-
vention who professed to have any other
motive than consideration of expediency
for their unwillingness to support Mr..
Blaine.
This is the reason it was impossible TO
make auy combination against him. There
were but a few, pitiful minority, in the
whole $50 delegates representing the Repub-

This plan provides for an exceedingly LOW INIT

the increase, NEVER EQUALS THE PLAIN LIFE

just balance and affirms a righteous

The Pharisee is not much better in politics
than in religion.
Besides, Mr.. Blaine has written eulogy of
the esteemed and lamented President Garfield,
with whom he was intimate, and If any one
choose, he may often read between the lines
and see whether the coming President has a
proper idea of the man who is to stand at the
head of the nation. Certainly we have the
means of a fair and full estimate of Mr. Blaine

by abandoning attacks upon private character
