The Buffalo Traveller calls attention to
the singular fact that son of Gov. Wise,
who signed John Browns death-warrant,
is now running as the Republican eandi-
date for Governor of Virginia, and a son
of Gov. Andrew, who was John Browns
friend and champion, may shortly be run
ming as a Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,. AS the stump
orator of the minstrel stage used to in
quire-where are we now?

THE Philadelphia Press discussing John
Shermsn's suggestion that the representa-
ton of the South in Congress be curtailed,
offers a very free and easy rendering to
the fourteenth amendment when it says
that "egery apportionment gives the con-
stitutionsl opportunity to reduce the fep-
resentstion of any State which directly or
By neglect refuses to give its citizens an
equal suffrage and its free exercise" The
Boston Advertiser, commenting On this,
says: "If this pars rsphrase of the constitu-
tionsl provision were correct, instead of
being ridiculously incorrect, Massachusetts
and Rhode Island would be likely to
suffer reduction of their representatives
in Congress as soon as South Carolina or
Mississippi.

The readers of the APPEAL will be glad
to learn that there are no grounds for the
fears expressed by some Boston papers
that religion was likely TO become a
question in the coming municipal cleo
tions in that city. Archbishop Williams
says that not only is there no movement
among the Catholic women Of Boston
for the purpose of voting at the coming
school election, but that "there has been
no attempt by the Catholic Church in Bos-
ton toward organizing such movement.
There have been no efforts at persuasion
in this direction, either in private conver-
sation or publicly from the pulpit to the
whole congregation. l am sure there is
no general movement among Catholic
women toward voting. 1t has never been
advised by the Church" The archbishop
adds that he does not believe in the
Church meddling with politics in any
shape, and that women can be much bet
ter occupied. OF the $4,000 children II
the Boston schools the majority are Cstho-
oi;cs, while of the School Committee, con-
sistinS of tVsnty-four members, but eight
are Of that faith, and Of the teachers
numbering lS4l, only 200 (women) are
Catholics.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Its C0nstitufiOna'fty to Be sfOufly De-
Tended by The Adminisf rAIiau

New YORK, September 2l.-A Washing
ton special says that the resignation of
Chairman Dorman B. Eaton of the Civil
Service Commission was sent in before
Maj. Hincklev of New York brought suit
in the United States Circuit court to test
the constitutionality Of the civil service
law, and there is good reason to believe
that at the request of the President he will
withdraw until the action hes been
tried. The President hes represented
tc him that his resignation at the present
juncture would be interpreted as retreat
and sign of weakness, and might ipf1u-
ence the result of the trial. The President
hes promised to the Civil Service Reform
Association that the constitutionality of
the law shall be stoutly defended, and the
object of Mr.. Eaton's visit to Washington
at this time is to prepare the defense in
the action which is to be brought before

The Republican politicians IN Washing
ton sre counting upon the success of their
party in Onio. They say that John
Sherman has iaiIiy stated not only the
State but the national issues, those that
are likely to control in the next Presiden-
tial election, and that if the Republicans
are successful it will he plain indication
that Sherman's bloody shirt policy is in-
dorsed and is to be the policy OF his party
in 1888. This, too, will make thst gentle
man the foremost candidate of his Psrty
for the Presidency, and will again precipi-
tate upon the country the brutal and
brutalizing policy of Blame. These WASH
ington Republicans believe 'tha: I1e issue
largely partakes of an Endorsement of !" s."ef'
mans position on finances, tariff, the races
and the sections. If the Legislature is
Democratic, then the people of Ohio DO
not indorse him and his work, but sympa-
thize with Southern outrages, the PROPOSE
tions to remove protection to wool growere,
farmers, manufacturers, mechanics and
africans, and the many harum-scarum
schemes of wild tinauciers."

NEW York, September 21.-The Tri-
bttfle's Saratoga special on the forthcoming
Republican convention will say: Several
persons have been preparing planks for
the platform, and an effort will be made to
have it concise, and at the same time en-
brace the issues upon which the party
will appeal to the voters. Senator Miller
propose protection plank, which will &C.
cept the revised tariff as settling the
tariff question until a new census
is taken, deprecating any agitation of the
question until trade is better and wages of
the laborer higher. Corporal Tanner will
propose civil service plank which will
declare that war veterans should have pri-
ority in certification after passing an ex-
animation. A separate resolution will
charge violation of the principles of
civil servics reforn by the recent ap-
pointments in the New York Custom
House, and in other ways. Anothe:
plank will be proposed declaring in favor
of the stoppsge of the silver dollar. Other
planks will declare in favor of municipal
reform, legislative reform, and will de-
msnd that the colored voters of the South
be given the right to cast their ballots and
to have them fsirly counted. If the con.
vention should last beyond enc day, as
now seems probable, the platform vii

The New York Republicans.

SARATOGA, n. Y, September 2l.-Ihe
delegates tc the Republican State Conven-
ton are arriving in large numbers to-day,
and the quiet Of Saturday and Sunday has
been changed to one of bustle and activity
and political Wire-pulling. The ebooms'
and there are many OF them-are being
pushed in the hotels, at the springs, ON
the streets and everywhere el5s. There is
no concentration of strength upon any one
candidate worth chronicling. There have
been ahoi,,t twenty-five names mentioned
for the first p,ece On the ticket, but of
course the greater rgmber Of these will
not receive, and do not expect, anything
more than a complimentary vote an ire
convention. The prominent candidates
are: Alonzo B. Cornell, Cornelius n. Bliss,
Ira w. Davenport, J. W. Drexel, Joseph
b. Carr, Levi p. Morton, James ID. War
ren, William II. Seward and James Wads-
worth. New York county is said to hold
the key to the situation, and the city dele
gates are hard at work endeavofing to har-
monize upon a candidate. A quiet move
mept is said to be on foot to make Col
Fred Grant the nominee for Secretary oi
State.
Night Delegates fairly swarmed into
town on the afternoon trains, and the
scenes about the hotels tonight are de-
cidedly animated. At this hour III
o'clock PM there is no change in the
situation from that indicated earlier in
the day, except that Cornelius N. Bliss
and Levi p. Morton have taken the lead
leaving Cornell a good third. While this
is a fact it is very apparent that Cornell
blocks the way 10 reaching an amicable
arrangement without considerable diff

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

1t is not always that GEORGE ALFRED
TOWNSEND sees things in their right light,
but when he does he sees through a remark
ably clear vision. Speaking of the renomi-
nation of HoADLY by the Ohio Democrats
he sees in it san indication that all faces are
now turned toward the future in the earnest
study of its possibilities. 1t seems to show
that the controlling interest in the country
is the statu quo. And what strikes GATH
as the most singular part of it is that the
South, which everybody in the North feared,
has been the cause Of this political change.
He says that the South, which HoADLY
and SHERMAN and nearly every Republican
advanced leader feared the most, put
CLEVELAND in nomination for the presi-
dency, and probably with a clearer knowl-
edge of what he meant TO do than either the
Northern Democrats or the Northern Re-
publicans. Since the war the South has
got over its leading fears. 1t has learned to
see the advantages of one national govern
ment and of free labor. The negro has
surprised the South. He continues to raise
bigger crops and more varied ones by hav-
ing dollar held before his nose than he
did when the whip-lash took half his
strength away in the cotton-field. What
miserable medicine it was to get work out
of man, TO bleed him in the back, and
yet expect him to go forward with the
cropl The danger about the South is that
it viii take counsel of its remaining fears,
and thanking Cop for getting a crop out of
the negro, forget the rights delivered up to
him along with his physical freedom"
GATH was an ardent supporter of Mr..
BLAINE in the late canvass and did good
deal of bloody-shirt waving. That he has
experienced a change of heart is most
gratifying. We commend his utterances TO
the Republican bloody-shirt waivers in
Ohio and Iowa. who are still foundering in

Every effort is being made to make of the
fair that occurs on the grounds of the
Hastings Union Industrial association a
grand success. Every foot of space in
Floral hall has been taken by exhibitors.
Stalls have been engaged for two large
herds of Short Horn cattle and one of Jer-
seys. Several breeders of sheep have prom
iSed TO exhibit. while the show of horses
will be up to that of last year. About
twenty head of thoroughbred cattle will be
sold at auction on the grounds, and numer-
Gus sheep, hogs and possibly some horses.
The racing program has not been definitely
fixed. Some of the slow races did not ill,
and Director MelOy and the secretary are
endeavOring TO substitute for them races by
some of the celebrities owned in Saltwater,
st. Paul and Minneapolis. President Nor

reasonable hopes of success. Undoubtedly
greatly reduced rates, If not free transport

TIE STATE FAIR.

AS it is now settled beyond all doubt that
the tweaty-seventh annual fair of the Min
nesota State Agricultural society is going to
be the largest and III every way the most
successful ever held in the state it behOoves
the people of Minnesota of all classes, and
more. especially the farmers, live stock
breeders and dairymen, to take part in the
exhibit. For the first time in its history the
State 4 Agricultural society finds itself per-
manently located, and with the generous
contribution made by Ramsey county of a
beautiful tract of land containing two hun
dred acres, together with the liberal appro-
priatiOn of 500, 600 made by the last legis-
lature. the society has felt justified in going
ahead and preparing for the exhibition on a
grander scale than it has ever heretofore
done. Everything is now in splendid
condition for holding the great fair.
1t is matter of cOngratulation that the in
ferest in this fair is not confined to our state
alone, but its importance is being realized
in distant states. A herd of blooded cattle
all the way from the state of New Y ork has
already arrived to be placed on exhibition.
Another herd of Clydesdales from Wiscon-
sin is on the ground, and the probabilities
are that live stock breeders from all sections
of the Union viii be in attendance, and
many of them will have their blooded horses
and cattle here for exhibition. Thanks to
