furn lsh full report of the proceedings
of the Republican Senatorial Conven
tion held at this place Saturday, ther,
is little else to he said. They met, ,ther.
; was "A feast Of reason; they loved, ther,
was II flow of soul; they parted. Upon
the whole il was an orderly and fairl,
intelligent body; yet il was evident
they needed their ruling spirit to s.eel
them clear Of the reefs ahead. Bur,
chard and the rains in New York tor,
Blaine up worse than the man in III,
} almanac. Hubbard's absence and In,
rain got their work la on the m0rdie O
; this convention. IL Democrats dom
turn fools to-day at Beaver Dam tn,
Republicans will find all too soon tina
in violating Hubbard's idea of the cam
: paign they have forfeited the mair
chance. lie sounded the keynote ,
month ago, aud had they been wis,
they would have rigidly pursued hi
temporiziug policy. He il the brains O
the party. This very fact inclines som,
To kick, just To prove he il not, whicl
has already resulted not only in hi
declination, but Will yet bring NOR,
sorrow down upon their rebellion,
heads.
Instead of IA compromising God. love
you-Democrats policy, which woulc
have held the mining vote intact an,
given the party the benefit of the per
sonal strength of the candidate, they
trotted ont their ar illery, of small and
uncertain calibre II il true, bnt they
trotted il out all the same, unlimbered
trained, in AN aimless desultory sort OF
way, over in the supposed direction al
the dread enemy, and turned theil
mud-balls loose. They shelled anc
ID every thing that smelt of Dem
ocracy, and after they had found out
all in sight they fought on as il To an
nihilate the very place where the enc
my was.
| Much more might he said, but can
allude to only one speech. In a labor.
Ell comparison of intellect and culture
in the two parties in the State the in
evitable conclusion was unfortunate, in
spite of ingenious twisti fications OF the
speaker. No amount Of logic will down
"A patent fact, and any attempt to dis
parage our party, In such compare
son, Is absurd and will recoil on him
who undertakes il. And then when
''shafts dripping with scurrility are
pointed by the hand of malice" at hon.
orable men, they must fall harmless at
his feet. He demonstrated his theory
by declaring that One-half of the SUBJ
scribers to the HERALD, las contempt
ble Democratic sheet as God ever let
live" were Republicans. Ah. that
periodical literature, gracing ones H.
brary, fixes beyond question his grade
of culture. The HERALD srots like
finger-board, the standard of his par.
tvs culture. Cah it be that the q. o
Z. of moral ideas, SO intensely classic,
1
ature, which il SD stepped in the quag
mire of grovelling ignorance, when the
world is teeming with the learning
of the 18th centur,? He either paid "a
very high compliment to the HERALD,
or insulted the intelligence of his party.
Either horn of the dilemma would be
| fatal to his argument. But as to the com
parison, we do not shrink from il, in
fact we rather like it for if all the brains
of their party in the State were by some
refining process distilled into their best
skull, 40 lbs OF 900 dynamite would not
fill the air half 10 full of Republican
brains as just one idea of John q. Car
Isle thrust into that Uranium, to say
nothing of the balance of the talent in
the State. "A little learning is IA dan,
gerous thing; Drink deep, or taste
not the Pierian spring; For shallow
draughts intoxicate the brain" Truly
the would is of two great tribes: one the
bOres, and the other the bored.
