The Position of Harper's Weekly.

New YORK Special
Harper's Weekly issued to-day, contains the
following leading editorial by George William
Curtis:
1.-The nomination of Mr.. Blaine, although it is
doubtless agreeable to the majority of the party,
as shown at Chicago-becauso a large part of the
apparent opposition, as in the Indiana and Hi
nois, and even in the Ohio delegation, was
friendly to the nomination-ought to alarm
honest Republicans showing how danger
ously far the Republican standard has fallen.
The nominations at Chicago, made against the
most friendly Republican remonstrance. have
forced upon Republicans the conviction that the
great objects of the Republican party-honest
and economical ADMINISTRATION, peaceful and
honorable foreign relations, the progressive
publication of the public service at home, wise
reduction of the revenue, and that sense of
general security which springs from the moral
elevation of administration-are not to be
expected from Republican success. To
this statement it is no reply that less is to be ex
pected from the Democrats Those who have
aroused the deep and general protest of the Re
publican conscience must bear the responsibility
of the result. Fidelity to Republican principle
requires Indifference to present Republican sue
cess, and Harners Weekly, which more than
once has not lesitated, in the interest of public
morality and of party publication, to oppose
other Republican nominations, cannot sus-
tain the significant one against which it has
so earnestly protested, which is practical alb
diction of Republican character and purpose.
The sad and kindly face of Lincoln whose
portrait hung in the hall, seemed to watch the
proceedings of the convention with an air of
earnest solicitude and apprehension, and it dis
appeared from its place before the nomination
was made"

DANvILLE, Ind, June MISUNDERSTANDING
the heavy rains of the preceding days of this
week, the trotting meeting bids fair to be sue
cess. The track was in better condition this
afternoon than was expected, but it was thought
best to postpone to-day's programme until to-
morrow, when the 2:25 class and 2:45 class will
trot mile heats, three best in five; purse
$3.50 in each trot. A running race, one
mile and repeat for 800, will conclude to-mor-
rows races Several of the best horses in the
country are here among them Joe Davis, owned
by Geo. Grimes, and Pritchard, owned by H. S.

AUSTIN II. BROWN.
''Where did you get that| was the suspicious
inquiry of Austin H. Brown, of the national
Democratic committee, when told last night by
journal reporter that the letter of Mr.. Tilden
declining the nomination had been received.
1T is in the Associated Press reports to-
night replied the reporter.
''Well, 1 have known for several days that it
was coming Mr.. Brown said.
'How do you think it affects the situationP
st will bring the contest down to the question
of whether an Indiana man shall be at the head
or tail of the ticket"
''And who is the Indiana manp
Mcdonald of course, The ticket will be
either Mcdonald and Cleveland, Cleveland
and Mcdonald or Mcdonald and Slocum."
In further conversation Mr. Brown said that
Mr.. Hendricks had known for several days that
the letter was about to appear, and that it would
be no surprise to several Of the prominent Dem
ocrats of the State

General Lucius Fairchild of Wisconsin, who
was frequently mentioned in connection with
the Republican nomination for President, an
nounces that he will take the stump for Blaine
and Logan. This announcement will be re-
ceived with great satisfaction in Wisconsin and
the Northwest, where General Fairchild is
deservedly popular.
Parlor K, Palmer House, where the national Re-

distribution, will be occupied by General B. F.
Butler as his private apartment during the COM
ing convention. Since the Generals nomination
by the Greenback and Antimonopolist conven-
tions, there has been considerable inquiry as to
his intentions regarding the July meeting. 1t
has been supposed that his position possible
candidate might cause him to remain away: but
his room has been engaged, and the chances are
he will be in attendance.
Western Christian Advocate: We would be
glad to say that he is total abstainer, and re-
greet that we cannot so affirm. 1t is due to Mr.
Blaine, however, to say that he has never an
tagonized the prohibitory legislation of his
State but has borne uniform testimony to the
efficiency of what is known as the ''Maine
Law" In domestic and social life his character
has been irreproachable, and his home life is
worthy of imitation. His talents and courage
are unquestioned, and especially as brilliant
debater he arouses among his friends en-
thusiastic admiration We say nothing as to
our political preferences, but there can be no
question that ''the Plumed Knight" as some of
his admirers delight to call him. will make
brilliant campaign.

Some Words to the Reformers.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
The Massachusetts Reform Club proposes to go
further in the direction of protesting against an
unsatisfactory federal nomination than we be-
lieve Republicans can in any manner be justified
in doing Mr.. Blaine was no more our favorite
for the nomination than he was that of the New
York Post, Times, or the Massachusetts Reform
Club, all which, and whom supported heartily the
nomination of Mr. Garfield, between whose un-
explained record and that Of Mr. Blaine there is
not sufficient difference to render their present
wish to defeat the partys principles, as well
as its candidate, wholly inconsistent No
journal or man has right to attempt to
dictate to the conscience of any individual
how he shall perform his best and highest duty
as a citizen, but it is the duty of every public
journal to express what it believes to be the duty
of the individual citizen to his country. For
ourselves, cannot reconcile it with the duty
of any intelligent journal or voter to deliberate
ly sacrifice the great principles of the Republic
an party because of unsatisfactory candi-
date, who is bound hand and foot by the pro
visions of the platform on which his party places
him and who is subservient to the rule of Con
gress What the Boston independents propose
to do and to ask others to do, is to march bodily
into the camp of the enemy. We contend that
there is nothing in the nomination of Mr..
the Independents were to generally take
it, Democratic President would be
elected and all the economic and financial evils
of their policy would be let loose upon the
country. We hold that it is better to suffer
lesser than greater evil-to secure the triumph
of Republican principles, on which national
prosperity is based even with Mr.. Blaine, than
to invite the triumph of Democratic policy
which would knock the props from under our
national prosperity. The Republican who cares
more for men than the principles of party, is one
whose loyalty hangs too lightly upon him. The
principles are everything, the men minor con-
sideraton. We regret much any the
fortunate nomination made at Chicago, but we
do not propose to help turn the government over
to the Democrats because better ticket was not

The Campaign in the South.
Terre Haute Express.

Jerre Haute Express
The Indianapolis Journal very timely calls for
a campaign in the Southern States to the end
that the Republican vote in those States may
count in the result next November. Despite any
probable disaf1ection in New York or Massachu
sets, we believe those States will cast their
electoral votes for the Republican candidates.
Even if New York should go Democratic, Mr.
Blaine will be elected President But, beyond
these considerations, there is duty for the
party to perform in the South. AS the journal
says: ''West Virginia is reasonably certain, and
North Carolina and Virginia, and one or two
other Southern States, as fairly debatable
ground, as are certain States in the
North The States named have Republican
majorities to-day, if the vote is cast and
honestly counted There is no reason
to believe that this political complexion
will change between this time and November.
A campaign in these States would rather in
crease the Republican majority. In the name of
all the traditions of the party, therefore, let the
party do its duty and the authorities see that
the laws granting free ballot and fair count are
lieve that 'the national committee will so shape
their plans to dispute those Southern States
with the Democratic party even though it may
resort to its usual tactics of fraud and force It's
sue ballots and murder" 1t is fair to presume
that as Mr.. New, the proprietor of the Journal is
a member of the national committee, the state
ment is in measure authoritative. 1t is good
news, and the Express believes it voices the
unanimous sentiment of the Republican party of
Western Indiana in saying that such course is
required by both sense of duty and party

NEW YORK, June 11.-George VIM. Curtis,
Carl Schurz, George Haven Putnam, r. R.
Bowker, ex-Gov. D. H. Chamberlain and othe
independent Republicans, have united in prepar-
ing a call for meeting on Tuesday next to con
slider what action shall be taken with reference
to the Republican nominations. Mr. Putnam
to-day outlined the programme of the meeting
as follows
First-To make a strong protest against the
action of the Republican national convention in
the nomination of Mr. Blaine,
Second-To formulate suggestions to the Dem
ocratic national convention with reference to
certain reforms which we consider more import
ant than the existence Of any party.
Third-To suggest that the Democratic
national convention shall not only put itself on
record as favoring these reforms but shall prac-
tically support them by the nomination of some
man whose name shall stand for such reform
measures
1.-THE reforms upon which all independents
are practically agreed" said Mr.. Putnam. ''are
"First-Civil- reform, extending into
every department of the government.
''Second-Revenue reform to the extent, at
least of the removal of the burdens of war tax

'"Third-An honest currency, good the world
over, and not merely the local currency of Col
orado or southern Illinois,"
Concerning names to be presented to the Dem
ocrats, Mr. Putnam said: "In the order of their
