TIE STATE CONVENTION.

The Renpblicons who assemble at Saratoga
to-day are charged by the party with the per
Torrance of the gravest public duties. lhey
are to select candidate for the Governorshlp
an Office only second in importance, consider =
ing the commercial and industrial rank OF New
York. to the Presidency itself They are 10
make nominations for the other leading eX-
ecutjye positions in the State Government.
They are IN reafirm the cardinal Republican
doctrines, and they are to define tie Republican
policy on the vital issues of the hour.
How is the convention going to meet these re-
sponsibilitiesP Our party friends not only III
this State but in all the States are asking that
question and with reason. The campaign IN
auguraUed at Saratoga this week Is generaIiy
regarded as of National consequence. Inc
shrewdest observers in both camps are saying
that as goes New-York in 1880 so the country
will 90 in 1888. The convention understands
this, and it is earnestly to be hoped 1t VIII make
the best use of its signal opportunity. is the
largest gathering of the sort that the kcpuO1-
cans of New York have ever held, and ought 10
be the strongest Included in the 693 dele
gates are many of the wisest and most trust
worthy representatives of the various counties
men whose sole aim will be so to shape the pro-
ceedings as to present fiTstclass ticket, strong
in all it's parts, on an unassaiable platform. If
such delegates are allowed to guide, all will be
well. The fruit of their leadership will be q
gratifying victory in November.
A number of names have been suggested To
lead the ticket. Let the convention adopt the
Iule of the survival of the fittest, and go ahead
If any other rule prevails 1t Will be easy
enough, ours being close State and this being
a year when every vote will be fought for, to
organize defeat. The Governorship obviously
ought not to go to any man, whatever his gen
eral popularity may be, who does not possess
the large capacity, the solid qualities, the apu-
tude for affairs, the commanding character, de-
manded in the incumbent of trust OF that
magnitude. Let no mistake be made here.
After the complimentary votes have been
cast. let a standard bearer be chosen, so con-
spicuously well fitted for the place that the in
telligence the public spirit and the probity of
the commonwealth will instnctively rally to
his support No candidate ought to be for one
moment regarded as available" who cannot
confidently be commended on the highest
grounds.
What is true of the GOvernorship holds good
in regard to the other offices which arc To be
filed. The convention has only TO do as well
as it can TO fulfil the best expectations i'll every
respect. 1t can name the winning ticket on the
winning platform and thus prepare the way for
Republican restoration in the Nation three
years hence. There is everything in the situa-
ton to incite every delegate to do his whole
duty with an eye single to the veal of the
party and therefore of the country.

The Prohibitionisls of Georgia claim with
! ressaa that they have acted more wisely than
their associates IL same Of the Northern States,
vbo have ATTEMPTED TO advance the cause OF
tenlperanc, by making war upon political
parties. In Georgia the policy pursued has
been singuarly successful. In one county after
another local elections have been hei1' untu
prohibition has prevailed in more than loo
counties about three quarters OF the counties
in the State. The local option law, making
provision for elections in any county when de-
manded by one tenth of the voters, has no"
been signed by the Governor and under 1t cleo
tons will speedily DO demanded in some OF the
counties which embrace the more popaious
cities of the State. At Atlanta there Is now
intense excitement, because the advocates OF
Prohibition, after conference on the subject
have determined to demand an election ana De-
lieve that they are strong enough to prevail
Indeed. it is the general opinion that within
short time the Prohibtionists will carry the
counties embracing nearly all the cities IN the
State. so that Georgia will become almost
wholly temperance State.
All this has been accomplished because those
directing the movement have been careful not
TO aptagonize the beliefs of the people on other
questions. They have not insisted that the
Democrats. who control the State by large
majority, should abandon their own party or
defeat it, placing Prohbtionists in office, and
surrendering all the objects of Il National char
acter for which earnest Democrats are supposed
to care. On the contrary, the Prohibition
movement has been carried forward without
antagonizng any political party, and the de-
cision of the people has been sought and OBJ
tanned in one county after another upon Prohl-
biton as a separate and non partisan issue. 1t
has been taken for granted that Republicans
would still hold and act upon Republican con-
victions, and that Democrats would still adhere
to the party now controlling the State. After
the great majority of counties, and the most
populous counties also. have been carried. aud
the good effects of the new law have been cx-
perienced, it is believed that prohibtory law
can be not only enacted but enforced through
ont the State.

TIVE NdTJONS CUSTOMERS

The first monthly statement Of foreign commerce
for the new fiscal year by the Bureau of Statistics
embraces a new feature which will prove of great
value namely an account Of the domestic exports
by countries. Tho chief Of the bureau deserves
credit for this Improvement, for the addition of
the cotton returns TO his preliminary monthly
sheet. IL appears from this statement that abont
90 per cent of the corn exported during the month
Of Jolly went to Great Britain. and ~ per cent of
the wheat and % por cent of the Hour AS to other
products. % per cent Of the cotton went TO Great
Britain 20 per cent of the sole leather. ~ per cent
of the oil cake and meal, only % per cent of tho re-
fined OIL % per cent of the fresh beef and only 3
per cent Of the salt beef nearly 20 per cent of the
talow over 80 per cent of the bacon. and nearly 70
per cent of the ham, but only per cent OF the salt
pork and % per cent OF the lard. 80 per cent of
the turpentne. 40 DER cent of the butter 30 per
cent Of the cheese. % per cent of the hops, and
nearly so per cent of the refined sugar. Perhaps
the last item Is the most remarkable Of all.
In connection with the fact that so large proper
ton of United States exports of refined sugar go to
Great Britain. IL may be we'll to note that the
entire quantity exported to that country amounted
TO only 10000 hundred weight in the whole year
1882 and only 100000 In 1883. But 1t snddAnlT
