THE COMING CONVENTION.

Halt one moment Mr.. Boomer 1t is per-
fectly legitimate for you to say that you prefer
the nomination of Mr.. A., or Mr.. c., or Mr.. ",
Y. T., but you have no business to say that
Mr. Blaine told his party that it ought not to
nominate him" He did tell his party that he
did not want it to nominate him-which is
very different thing. Strict Truth is desirable,
and never more desirable than now
The earnest men of the Chicago Blaine Club,
whose figures indicating a clear majority for Mr..
Blaine on the second ballot were telegraphed the
other day, do not appear to consider that there
may never be second ballot, if their impress
sions are right regarding the Judgment of dele
gates. The frank and friendly comparison of
opinions which will precede any balloting
whatever, is not unlikely to bring about con-
siderable harmony of purpose and action. IL
that conference discloses that more than ma
jority of the entire convention think, and rep
resent Republican constituents who think, that
Mr. Blaine is the strongest candidate who can
be nominated, it is quite likely that there may
never be more than one ballot. But this con-
ference must first be frank and friendly, and if
it discloses that a majority Of the convention
believe and represent constituents who believe
that some other candidate would be stronger,
the utmost Difference to that opinion will be
shown by those Republicans who prefer Mr..
Blaine For, men and brethren, this is going
to be in very truth grand council for the well
fare of the party and of the country, and not a
battle for personal preferences
1t is in this spirit that all Republican dele
gates should be prepared to meet each other.
The delegate who is going for'' his candi-
date anyhow, regardless of the information
which friendly conference may disclose, will
probably be made to feel that he is much ont of
place in an assembly of patriotic men, of whom
the overwhelming majority are prepared to lay
aside all personal preferences if the welfare of
party or country demands. 1t is not to be de-
MED that large proportion, apparently more
than majority of the delegates selected, will
90 to the convention with an impression that
Mr. Blaine would be the strongest candidate to
nominate. But they, and others who have
different opinion, will doubtless go neverthe-
less with minds fully prepared to seek and can
didy weigh all information which may guide
them to wise determination. Others will
Justly expect that attitude of mind from those
whose prepossessions are in favor of Mr.. Blaine,
and these, no less, will expect it of other dele
gates A convention assembling and frankly
comforting in that spirit is likely to reach de-
cision which the people will ratify at the polls.

DEMOCRA WHO FAVOR PROTECTION

What is to become Of the Democrats who
believe in Protection? Their party calls upon
them to vote against the welfare of their coun-
try, and against the interests of their States.
1t ostracizes them because they refuse to obey
the dictates of the President of caucus, or
of q convention. Within the party they have
no longer any place to stand. Bills which
they offer for the needs Of their constituents
are vetoed solely because they, as Representa-
tfves, cannot comply with the Presidents
wishes The patronage of the Executive is
NOT OILY refused when they ask the appoint
ment of worthy constituents or friends, it is
Systematically used by the President IT, break
down their influence and destroy them polit-
i.ally. As Democrats, they no longer have
political life or hope Mr.. Randall, for instance,
was not expected to attend Democratic con-
yention in Pennsylvania, though for many years
he has been the most influential Democrat in
that State, and to his party more useful than
any other man in the country. He alone made
MIR. Clevelands election possible, and the fruit
of that election to him is that men infinitely
less competent and worthy are preferred. the
President elected by his assurances gives the
lie To those assurances, and Mr.. Randall him
self is practically read out of his party.
1.-THE Atlanta Constitution" representing
Democrats in State where the votes of the
people are literally of no account. can easily
justify itself for abiding in submissive rela-
tions with the Democratic party. Its policy.
that paper declares, is hostile to the interests
of the new South hostile to the interests of
Alabama, and fatal to the Democratic party,
and yet the party must be supported, because
Republican success would menace the State
with negro government. No words are needed
to show how foolish and illogical this posi-
ton is, for if a free-trade policy will be fatal
to the Democratic party, any evils to be appre-
hended as a consequence of Democratic defeat
will come in any case. But in Alabama public
opinion is in letters. Democrats from North

the door were shut and the chain taken down.
The wretchcd young man was forced to stand there
for hours with his head jammed within doors While
the servants were struggling to file apart one OF
the links of the chain. AS he himself tells the
pathetic tale millSmen and such like folk began
to come about and there was very soon consider

marks. As the file penetrated further and further
through the chain the door wobbled more and
hurt me more' Mr. Mills is in very much the
same predicament. His head is through, but he
is caught fast in the partly opened doors OF Con-
gress. He can neither get in nor out with his
tariff measure, and is calling upon the Republican
leaders to open the door for him and release him
from his discomfort The amendment file is the
only instrument that will be of any avail, and as
that sharp-edged tool penetrates deeper into the
iron poor Mr. Mills will suffer more and more
from the crcallng Of the webbing door. Mean
while there are likely to be rude remarks.

According to the information obtained by
our Washington bureau, there is every prob
ability that the Senate will decide to discuss
the Fisheries Treaty with open doors. This
will be violent departure from established
precedent, but the peculiar circumstances
clearly justify the innovation. In the vote
taken yesterday, not one of the Democratic
Senators favored open sessions. Their course
is virtual admission of the weakness OF their
cause. Especially interesting will be Senator
Morgans defence of the Treaty taken in con-
nection with his previous statements on the
floor of the Senate There is no reason why
action on the Treaty should be long DELAYED
Let it be discussed and dissected, and then
cast out as it deserves to be.

4 FRIENDLY WORD TO A LITERARY
CENTPE

The centre referred to is Chicago. That imperial
city, it is generally believed ycarns to lie known
not only as the practical but the poetical me-
tropolis of the Northwest. She will never be
satisfied until it is universally conceded that hers
is an unrivalled hand whether she uses it to
kill hog or write poem But it is respect
fully submitted to Professor Eugene Field, who
is commonly recognized as the general manager
of her literary boom, that If Chicago fain would
plant her gonfalon on the purple peaks of heaven
kissing Parnassus, she must swear off from
rhyming Oregon" with "our son."
A few days ago the editor of The Chicago
Tribune" dashed off little madrisal for his
newspaper, dedicated to that estimable Indiana
statesman, Walter @. Gresham. The madrigal
contained this stanza:

4 Railroad TO the National Park.

On Sunday last Anderson Bros,
received a communication from
Supt. Resseguie to the effect that
the company would soon make IN
other survey from Eagle Rock to
the National Park, and that when
that was done and they found out
what land they wanted for right Of
way, they would deed back to An
derson Brothers the remainder of
the land decided to them when the
shops were here.
We have been fully convinced
that there was no question about
the branch road to the Park start
ing from Eagle Rock, and we be-
lieve it will be started during the
present year, the distance from
Eagle Rock to the point where it
would cross the South Fork of
Snake river, and by building to that
point and putting in the bridges
during low water in the winter,
they would be ready to push on
from there in the spring, and could
have the road completed by the
time travel commences to the Park
next season.-Eaglc Rock Register.

THE BLUE AND GREY
Meet Again at Gettysburg This Time
for Common Cause.

For the past three years it has
been the custom of the surviving
members of both armies which par
ticipated in the battle of Gettys-
burg, to meet on that historic battle
field in fraternal reunion on the
lst, ID, and Sd Of July. This year
the exercises were of unusual inter
est. A number of monuments to
the fallen heroes were dedicated on
the field by surviving members of
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New
York regiments, assisted by the ex-
Confederates. OF the many fine
and patriotic addresses delivered,
the following by ex-Confederate
Gen. J. b. Gordon, of Georgia, is a
striking illustration of the spirit
which now seems to be prevailing
among the veterans:
l greet you tonight with far less
trepedation and infinitely more
pleasure than in the early days of
July, 1868, when l last met you at
Gettysburg. l came then as now,
to meet the soldiers of the Union
army. 1t would be useless to at
tempt utterance of the thoughts
that now fill my spirit. The temp
tation is to draw a contrast between
the scenes which were then witness
ed and those which greet us here
to-night-of the contrast made by
this mass of manly cordiality and
good fellowship with the long lines
of dusty uniforms which then stood
in battle array between bristling
bayonets and the spread of ensigns
moving in awful silence and with
sullen tread to grapple each other
in deadly conflict. There is one
suggestion which dominates my
thought at this hour. Of all the
marital virtues the one which is
perhaps more characteristic Of the
truly brave is the virtue of magma
minity..
"My fairest cardom would give,
To bid Clan Alpines chieftain live"
1t was noble sentiment attrib-
uted to Scotland's magnanimous
monarch as he stood gazing into the
face of his slain antagonist. How
grand the exhibitions of the same
generous impulses that character
ICES the victors upon this memoir
able field. My fellow-countrymen
of the north, if I may be permitted
to speak for those whom | repre-
sent, let me assure you that in the
profoundest depth of their nature
they reciprocate that generosity
with all the manliness and sincerity
of which brave men are capable.
We join you in setting apart this
lane as an enduring monument of
peace, brotherhood and perpetual
union. BY the blood of our fallen
brothers, we unite in solemn conse-
Grafton of these battle-hallowed
hills as a holy eternal pledge of fl
deity to love, freedom and unity of

POLITICAL OPINION.

The Boston evening Record says:
"Here is a predictions: Indiana.
New Jersey, and Connecticut will
go for Harrison. The chances are
that New York will be counted for
Cleveland. California will decide
the fight. The republicans had
better waste very little time on New
York and put it into California,
New Jersey, and Connecticut, and
there we are sure they can win and
elect their men,"
This is the way the San Francis
co Chronicle explains Harrison's
position on the Chinese question:
''The fact is that Gen. Harrison,
like a great many other prominent
men in the east, democrats as well
as republicans, did not at first
grasp the Importance CT the Chinese
question, but as soon as he saw
that the rights of American labor
and the basic principle of protec-
ton were involved in it he wheeled
into line on the side of America,
and has ever since been the firm
and determined opponent of Chi
nese admission.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
'It is Just as well for the democratic
party to understand at the outset
that in fighting Mr.. Harrison it will
also have to fight Mr., Blaine. Har-
rison was Blaine's choice for the
nomination in 1884 and was his
choice in 1888. Mr.. Blaine will take
the stump for him, commencing
with the Pacific states. He is a
great stumper. When beaten by
Hayes for the nomination in 1876
he took the field for the nominee,
delivering sixty-two formal speeches
in one month In 1854, when he
was himself the candidate, he spoke
almost continuously for forty-three
days, delivering in that time 4O1
addresses. We repeat
that the democratic managers must
realize that they have not only
Harrison and Morton to fight, but
Blaine also"
The Springfield, Mass Repub-
lican says: "Of the tariff we need
say little here. The republican
party has turned it's back on its
record, disregarded the palpable
and crying needs of the situation,
and allied itself with the compact
interest as against the in
terests of the people at large. 1t
has done this, we believe, under the
partisan impulse to oppose what
ever democratic president did or
