The District Convention.

The proceedings of the First District con-
vention, which met in this city yesterday
were characterized throughout by remarka-
BILE spirit of harmony. In only one instance
was there contest, and that was settled out
side Of the convention proper, SO that every
thing done yesterday under the call was done
unanimously. But, though done so quietly
and tremendously. the proceedings were
nevertheless of the greatest interest and inn
pertance. The delegates TO Chicago were in
structed to labor for the nomination Of Mr..
Blaine in terms even palmer than were used
in the Fourth and Second Districts, where
much palmer instructions were given than in
the Third District; and this shows that the
Republican party of the State has decided
that the Florence letter shall not be taken as
a final withdrawal. Coming from Mr..
Blaine's own State, such declaration as
that adopted in the platform yesterday, can
not fail to have great influence on the
counsels of the party in other States.
In their unanimous and enthusiastic re-
nomination of Congressman Reed the mem
beers Of the convention showed their highest
appreciation of the abilities and the states
manship of the Republican leader of the
House. In time like this, when the indus
tries of the State and nation are threatened
by the enemies of the protective system, the
Republicans of the First District owe it to
their State aud their country to continue in
service the Representative who, of all the
party, stands forth as the best equipped for
the battle now going on, and, in all probable
ity, to go on for some time to come. in the
halls of Congress. But it is no reflection
