THE OUTLOOK.

Limited space at disposal necessi,ates bu
brief allusion this week to the political stu
alton. Blaine and Logan arc nominated
Tildsn positively declines to be candidate
The Republicans are threatened with an In.
dependent bolt in New York that may cost
them the State, but they can lose It and win
The Democrats are all 1t sea. Tilden would
have been nominated by accismatien. He
might have csrried them over the tariff 70
pids, and the prestige Of his name, and the
hope Of victory would have silenced, II h
had not healed, disssnsion. Now, within
thirty days they must swap horses and enter
tbs race against the gamsst steeple chaser Of
tho Republican party.
We are not surprised at the action in
New York, but deprecate IL. The Inde.
pendents Of that State are intelligent and
respectable individually, but collectively
they do some absurd things. Their motto
appears 10 be rule or ruin, and SO although
they went into convention, with candidate
worthy OF their votes and who will not bolt
with them, and were fairly beaten, they now
threaten to throw their influence and votes
against Mr.. Blaine. Harper's Weekly, with
Curtis and Nash, the Times and Post AMI
Henry Ward Beecher are oil out Of line, and
apparently only waiting an acceptable Dem
ocratic nomination TO fy the track entirely.
Well, let New York 90, We have the Pacific
coast. Ohio and Indiana, hitherto doubtful,
sure, and there are good hopes for Florida,
North Carolina and Tennessee, with SIGHT
ing chance for Virginia We have enough
without these and without New York.

Mr.. Blaine the portfolio Of Secretary OF State
and It was accepted. This position be held
until December succeeding Garfield's death,
when Mr.. Frelinghuysen was appointed.
During the long prostration of the President
Mr.. Blaine performed his duties. Since then
he has been In private life, and engaged in

CITIZENS FOR OFFICERS.
CHICAGO, ILLs., june @, 1Ss

CHICAGO, Ills, June U, 1854.
To James II. Mills, Deer Lodge, Mont:
Please congratulate the Republicans of
Montana for me on the unanimous recogni-
tlon of the rights Of citizens In the Terrific.
ries regarding appointments by the National
Convention. w. F. SANDERS.
Right gladly we do this. The resolu-
ton declaring that federal officers for the
Territories should be selected from bona
.fde citizens of the Territories, is the grand
est achievement for the citizens of the Ter
ritores ever accomplished in National Con-
vention, and we have knowledge that the
principle is heartily approved by Mr.. Blaine.
In the event Of Republican triumph, 1t gives
assurance that the most CALLING, obnoxious
and un.American system possible to con-
ceive, and that has been almost universal,
will end, and that Home-Rule--to the ex-
tent that 1t can obtain under appointment
will hereafter prevail in the Territories.
Every appointment ever made from abroad
has been an offense to the people OF the
Territories; . taunt to the effect that they
had no citizen competent for and deserving
of the position, and was so regarded and re-
ssnted. Very many good officers and good
men have been sent, and many times they
have felt aggrisved at the anti-carpet bag
resolutions that every Republican platform
10 Montana for fifteen years has contained
but they did not consider the indignity and
humiliation there was to every resident citi-
zen in the fact that 1t was possible under our
government any man not citizen Of the
Territory could be appointed to any Terrific
rial Office. It was the principle Of the thing,
more even than the many bad selections,
that the Republicans Of Montana were en-
listed against, and now, Heaven be praised,
II Blaine IL elected 1t will end. And to no
man does Montana or ali the Territories owe
more for valiant fidelity In the long and al
most hopeless battle against the iniquity Of
foreign appointments than to him who mod
sstly asks that his congratulations may be
extended to them. He has fought the fight
and triumphed.

erations, and the mother Roman Catholic.
The sen adhered to the religion Of his father,
but maintains dutiful respect for that faith
in which his mother lived and died. The
Blainss were Pennsylvanians fer genera
tions-the descendants or James Ga great
grandfather, who was Commissary General
Of the Revolutionary Army, and close per-
sonal friend Of Warrington, having settled
near Carlisle, and thence the family moved
westward to ashington county. To Ephraim

acts OF incorporation, in all cases where there
has been no attempt in good faith to perform
the conditions Of such grants.
The psrpetuity Of our institutions rests
upon the mai ntaining of q free ballot, honest
count and correct returns. We denounce tho
fraud and violence practiced by the Demo
cratic party In the Southern States, by which
the will Of the voter 10 defeated, As dangerous
to the preservation of our free institutions,
and VIC solemnly arraign the Democratic
party A. being the guilty recipient Of the
fruits OF such fraud and violence. We ex-
tend to tho Republicans OF the South, regard
less of their former party affiliations, cur
cordial sympathy, and pledge to them our
most earnest efforts to promote the passage
OF such legislation as will secure to every
citizen OF whatever race aud color the full
and complete recognition, possession and
exercise of all his civil and political rights.
Appointments by the President to offices in the
Territories should Be made from the bona fde
citizens and residents Of the Territories uherein
they are to serue.
The grateful thanks of the American poo
pie are due to the Union soldiers and sailors
OF the late war, and the Republican party
stands pledged to provide suitable pensions
for all who were disabled and for the widows
and orphans Of those who died In the war.
The Republican party also pledges itself to
the repeal Of the limitation contained In the
Arrears Of Pensions Act Of 1879, so that all
invalid soldiers shall share alike and their
pensions begin within the date Of disability
or discharge, and not with the date of the
application.
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously
without discussion. There were interrupt
tions Of applause at the points approving the
Presidents administration, declaring duties
on imports should be made not for revenue
only, claiming full and adequate protection
for sheep husbandry, recommending the

ing the importation Of contract labor, whether

reference with foreign nations, and that
foreign nations shall refrain from informed
