GSIGN or DECENTRALIZATION

Il IIN OF OEnONILIZIIIDN.
There is something really touching about the
solcitude which The Beccher Family Oygan of this
city manifests for the Republican party of Massa-
chusctts. There is to be Republican conycn-
ton in that State for the nomination of Gov
ernor and other officers some three months
hence and The Family O,gan has already begun
to sit up nights over the danger the party is i'm
of doing itself q dreadful disgrace. II seems
that Nh Oliver Ames, the present Lieutenant
Governor is talked of for the nomination for
Governor. More than merely talked of indeed,
for as The organ remarks, it is " the widely ac-
copied opinion that he will receive it. And
this, it adds with profound melancl oily, ais an
impressive sign OF the decentralization of the
party" 1t finds just gimmcr of hope in the
thought that :" the prospect may change in the
meantime" but the important FL, is that the
"selecion of such candidate is seriously can
"yassed and earnestly favored by many if not
smost of the party leaders" That is what nm.
corks The O'yan's lachrymal glands and sets its
tears flowing by the column-hc is favored by
many if not most Of the party leaders, II is a
most melancholy state of affairs. "Such q de-
velopment," it remarks with profound emotion.
"may well engage the attention of the conn
try" 1t may it may. That most of the Re-
publican party leaders in Massachusetts should
favor the selection of candidate for Governor
not approved by The Ercnmg Post is "A dcyelop.
ment hitch should not only engage the attain.
ton of the country. but which it would nav the
civilized world to stop short and serlopslv
consider.
The sincere and thoughtful patriot need po
no further than the fact Of The Orgon's dison-
proval Tor reason why the country should
rise mp and pat stop to the attempt of the Re.
publican leaders III Massachusetts TO nominate
Mr.. Oliver Amcs for Governor That ou,ht to
be enough. The Orgnn has shown such dex otion
to the fortunes of the Republican party in
Massachusetts and elsewhere, has evinced such
loyalty To its principles and contributed 81
literally to its success that its Wishes in the
matter of candidates should be unhcsitatinplv
deferred TO in Massachusetts, and cverywher,,
else. And yet it is unharply true that there
are men in Observation-Disclosures bcans. to, and
very likely Republican leaders-who will not
take this view of the case. This may be be-
cause they never heard of The Ereninq Post or
are not aware how much the Republican party
owes to It's support. Ii is Tor the benefit of
these iIl-informed persons that this champion
of the party gives the reasons why the nominal
ton OF Mr.. Aines is an impressive sign of the
decentralization Of the party" "Mr. Amcs.. #
says, as a man OF amiabIe disposition" That
is | is Gisl disqualification. Worse than This
however : he Is esteemed by his neishbors and
respected by the community in which he liyes.n
Now If anything has been settled 1y the events
OF the past two years it Is that No "man of
@amiable disposition who Is esteemed by his
"neighboIs and respected by the community in
"whlch he lives" can either be elected To or
nominated for an Office with the consent of The
Beecher Family OIydn. Any talk OF such
Domin alton Is an impressive sign OF demorall-
