The Republican National Convention
has met and adjourned, after doing
work which will leave its mark upon
our future history, and WHISTLER for
good or evil, time alone can tell. One
of the most marked things aboat it
was that nearly all the mon of tie

reputation, were absent. The influence
of political machinery had but little
to do with the choice of its members,
and it had all the good and bad quail

The republican party has nominated
its most brilliant and most valuable
member for President of the United
States. With all the doubtful points
in his record against him he has proved
so strong with his party that no corsid-
Grafton of prudence could avail against
his determination of climbing TO the
Presidency if republican votes could
put him there. Every idea OF fear of
the peoples good Judgment was cast
aside that the fiery Blaine should have

BLAINE AND LOGAN NOMINATED

"J The National Republican Couven,
tion completed its labors last Friday
by the nomination of James g. Blaine
of Maine for President, and John A.
Logan of Illinois for Vice-P President.
Blaine was chosen on the 4th ballot,
receiving 544 votes, only 4l0 being
necessary to choice. The news was
received with enthusiasm in many
places, and while it is generally con
sidered a strong ticket, it will be OPP
posed by some influential elements in
the Republican party. The platform,
which we publish in full, is a hotch-
patch intended TO catch the votes of
almost every trade, profession, class
and condition. 1t makes the same old
promises that have been repeated year
after year with ful6llment, and expects
the people TO be deceived again with
its threadbare falsehoods, We give
below some press opinions of the plat
form. IrF

Mr.. Bradlaugh yesterday administered
the oath to hmselfin the House of Com

In both houses of Congress yesterday a

The diary OF Qneen Victoria, which was
given to the London press yesterday, deals
largely with the affairs of the royal family,
and alludes only incidentally to politics.
The extracts in the cable dispatches show
that its prevailing tone is one of sadness, if
not Of settled melancholy, and, in spite of
passages which must provoke smile from
those who have no special sympathy with
some Of the domestic subjects to which the
Queen alludes, the majority Of readers will
pity the authoress, whose griefs are so akin
to those of humber men and women.
