Is not to be by any means of the Puritanic or

the advertisement, but the usual "wine and

What Puritan ghost will come to walk In
those quarters down on quiet Spruce street,
just of Beacon, where these new club men are
to gather9 don't suppose, however, that in
these days any ghost will have power to more
than start off new metaphysical discussion,
for even ''over the walnuts and the wine'' at
the most ghostly hour the modern Bostopian
does not scare easily.
Joking aside, however, the club has started
off, am told, with large membership and
the best of prospects. What with the going up
of new apartment houses, with the added
cafe, and the talk of new hotels, it looks as If

palatial homes are not wanting, but they seem
to be only tents of day-and winter day,

The purpose, we suppose, of the men who
blow up buildings in London with dynamite
is to scare England into doing justice to the
people of Ireland. O'Donayan Rosa and
Mezzeroff say that is the idea which under
lies these explosions, and If need be the
whole of London will be laid waste. The
evidence shows that 80 far the soaring proc
ess has not been attended with marked sue.
cess. OF course the English public is good
deal dismayed by these explosions, but the
alarm which they have excited does not
show the least tendency TO make itself mani
fest in the shape of concessions to ireland.
On the other hand it's effect seems to be
to stffen up English hate, and continual
ton of it is much more likely to make
the residence of Irishmen in England uu-
comfortable than it is to better the condition
OF Irishmen at home. Indiscrminate MUIR
der of Engishmen in the name of Irish free
dom is pretty certain eventually to lead to
the indiscriminate murder of Irishmen in
the name of self preservation. 1t may be set
down as certain that Irish freedom will new
"a w ODtotAC0 Wy 1AO uoO Vi QJH6tultGs tuOuRu
the dire threats of O'Donayan Rosa be
fnlly executed.
We have no idea that the great majority
of Irish race sympathize with this mode of
warfare. We have little doubt that nine
tenths of the Irish residents of this country
privately denounce these outrages. Yet we
are inclined to think that they are not free
from some blame in this matter, in allowing
as they do asmall but noisy minority to mis-
represent them without public protest and
condemnation. If The Irish people at home
displayed the same vehemence in denounc-
ing these outrages when they occur that
they did 10 condemning the British govern
ment for hanging the slayer of Carey the dy-
namiters would soon cease their diabolical
plottings. If Irishmen in America would
refrain from contributing money until
i vas guaranteed that it should be used
only in legitimate agitation the dyna-
miters would be compelled to go out of bust
ness for lack of funds. 1t is melancholy
fact that the silence of respectable Irlsh-
men in regard to these outrages gives
color to the assertion of the British press
that if they do not justify them they at least
wink at them, which is almost as bad. 1t is
difficult, we know, Tor an Irishman to pluck
up sufficient moral courage to do anything
or say anything which may expose him to
the charge of having a soft side for England,
but it ought not be impossible when failure
to do SO is certain to be construed by the
whole civilized world as proof that his race
has soft side for incendiares and assassins

The Republican convention of 1876 began
on Wednesday aud lasted until Friday night.
Seven ballots were taken before Mr.. Hayes
was nominated. The convention of 1880
was much more protracted. 1t began on
Wednesday, and it was not until the follow
ing Tuesday that Garfield was nominated
Six working days the convention was in ses-
sion. The first four days were occupied
In perfecting the organization, overthrow
ing the unit rule, settling contests between
rival delegates and making the nominating
speeches. Balloting was begun on Mon
day, and it was not until Tuesday that Gar
field was nominated In all thirty-six bal
lots we're taken. Blaine's highest vote in
the convention of 1876 was 351, and in the
convention of 1880, 2s5. 379 votes were ne
cessary for choice in both conventions.

The Outlook at Chicago.

The reports from Chicago yesterday were
not essentially different in their drift from
those of the day before. The confidence of
Mr.. Blaine's friends has certainly in no de-
gree abated. On the contrary 1t appears to
HAYS strengthened. 1t seems to be univer-
sally conceded that he will lead all the can
didates on the first ballot and conside cradle
accession of strength is certain to come to
him on the second ballot. The popular cry
at Chicago as well as almost everywhere
else throughout the North is for Blaine.
This fact is evidently making strong i'm
preston among the delegates. Some of the
delegates FROM the South even are giving
heed to 1t and several of them are quoted as
admitting that delegates from States which
can give the candidate no electoral votes
ought not to thwart the will of the Repubii-
cans of the States which must be relied upon
to elect the candidate. There are plenty
of reasons for believing that Mr.. Blaine's
chances have improved every hour since the
cool headed men who heretofore have been
reticent, among them Congressman Dingley
of this State, are now confidently predicting
his nomination.
Administration circles at Washington are
reported much depressed which is equiya-
lent to saying that President Arlhur's
chances of obtaining the nomination have
declined. The President is evidently suffer-
ing because of the fact that his strength
comes principally from the South which is
peculiarly susceptible to the influence OF
patronage. His managers notwithstanding
the fact that the control of the machinery of
the government provides them with some
powerful arguments which the friends Of
none Of the other candidates possess have
apparently made no converts, and they are
reported now to be laboring with view to
the defeat of Mr.. Blaine rather than in the
hspe of nominating Mr.. Arthur. Their poll
cy now seems to be to stiffen up the friends
of the minor candidates in order to
keep them away from Blaine. Herein is a
source of danger to the Maine candidate.
The same kind of tactics defeated Grant In
1880 The conditions, however, are consid-
etsbly different from those that existed -FOUR
years ago. Then all those who were not Tor

Drs. Burrill and Root, who resigned some
time ago from the faculty of the Maine
Medical Electic College, fear that recent
paragraph in the PRESS in regard to the
controversy that is now going on in relation
to that institution may convey the impress
sion that the college has been turning out
quacks ever since its existence, and thus un-
justly reflect upon competent physicians
who have received diplomas from that insti-
tuition. They say that it first began to man
u-acture quacks year ago. Previous TO
that time the standard of graduation was in
their opinion high enough. But if the para
graph in the PRESS is open to objection on
the ground that it was not specific enough in
regard TO time the resolutions of the Maine
Eclectic Association are equally objection
able for the same reason

The Chicago correspondent of the Boston

Long is reported sitting in the Palmer
House holding Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the
young son of the colored register of the
treasury. Already the effect of holding Ros-
coe Conkling Bruce is apparent. Mr.. Long
is being doomed by the negroes for the vice
presidency, and the delegation of the ''com-

There seems to BE- no reason why the Chi

contest is virtually settled already.

1t is very doubtful if John C. Emo, the de-
faulting president of the Second National
bank of New York. who has been arrested at
Quebec, can be taken back to New York.
The extradition treaty does not cover the
crime of which he is supposed to be guilty,
namely, the misappropriation of bank funds.
If forgery can be shown he will be given up
But simply charging him with forgery is not
sufficient. There must be proof enough of
the charge to satisfy the Dominion courts,
and it is very doubtful if there is any proof
whatever that he ever committed that
crime.
