The Weekly
TOLEDO BLADE.

The political battle of this year will be the
most important that has been fought In the
United States for years. The struggle will not
only be Tor supremacy In the White House and
In Congress, but IL will also decide our future
economic system-whether the Republican prin-
cipal OF protection, which has caused such an
unparalleled dCvelOpnentOf our country in every
possible line since its adoption, shall be cOntm-
ued, or whether we shall plunge the nation into
financial depression, great labor troubles bank
ruptcy and poverty To carry out the theories Of q
stubborn and unstateSmanlike President
The BLADE Will be found whore it has ever
stood-On the side of the best interests of the
whole people; ON the side of American working
men as against those Of Europe; for the prosper
ity OF American manufacturers instead OF those
OF foreign lands: In favor Of American goods
made by American wOrkingmen, rs against the
conspiracy OF the free trade theorists and the
selfish ring OF importers In the Atlantic cities
who see enormous fortunes IN prospect rs the re
President Clevcland on the side Of the Anlcri-
can farmer, WHOSE prosperity depends far more
on home market than a foreign one; on the side
OF prosperity forall, rather than poverty for the
many and prosperity for the merchant import
ers OF New York City.
The BLADE viii be made brighter and better
than ever the coming year. Mr.. Locke had elab-
GRATED certain plans for its Improvement during
1881, which VIII be fully and faithfully carried
out. All the regular departments win be i'm

The Republicans of North Carolina.

The Republican state convention of North
Carolina, held in Raleigh this week, is one
of the most notable conventions Of the
party ever held In any of the southern
states. 1t was distinguished from for
mer conventions by having fully three
quarters of its members white men, while
nearly all of the members, white and colored,
were young men of high standing in the
business or professions to which they be-
longed.
Another feature of the convention was
that several men heretofore prominent in
tho pe'a a5crat!c ranks came into the meet
ing and avowcd their determination here
after to support the Republican party, the
reasons given in each instance being the
free trade message of President Cleveland,
the free trade bill Of Premier Mills, and the
refusal Of the Democratic party to repeal
the internal revenue laws.
The utmost harmony prevailed, aud that
is a new feature in North Carolina Rcpubli-
can politics, which have in the past been
troubled by rival factions, there being, in
fact, until the meeting Of this convention,
two rival Republican committees and organ
izations in the state. This has been done
away with, and the party is now united and
harmonious,
4 most excellent ticket composed Of some
of the foremost men of the state was nomi-
mated, all past differences were settled, and
n campaign entered upon that will end in
the success OF the Republican party.
OF course there were rivalries, hut these
were settled without bitterness or bad
feeling, The whole proceedings Of the
convention and the spirit which peryaded it
netohen a great change in the Old North
State and show it, people are waking up
to the necessity of change from the bour-
bonism of the past to a more progressive
| and liberal future.
The delegates at large to the National
Convention were uniustructed. They are
all, however, friends of Mr.. Blaine, but will
90 to Chicago prepared to vote for whoever
may be considered by the majority as the
most tit man to lead the Republican hosts to
victory.
The two rival state committees that
united in the call for the convention were
dissolved, and Mr.. John b, Eayes was
selected by the convention MS hartman Of
the state committee. The electors for the
state at large, Messrs. Boyd and Moore, are
two Of the ablest canyassers In the state.

for fully half an hour continued struggling

Quiet was restored, but thereafter the work
was tame. A few speeches were attempted,
but the life and brains of the convention were
gone. OF the. prominent supporters of Ma
hone, Elan, Blair, Lamb, Farr, and Brown
Allen were conspicuous, but his oldest and
most trusted lieutcnants were conspiCuously
absent. With no opposition the prepared pro.
prammC was soon ground out, and at midnight
the convention tamely and sadly adjourned,

M attempt to stine discussion was made.
Ringing Republican speeches were cheered tu
the echo, and to an old Republican there WI
nm air ot freedom and patriotism, In marked
contrast 10 the other convention. II was a
striking gathering. There were Yankee Allen,
Hines of Fairfax, Lewis Lindsay, and Dr..
Norton. of the old constitutional convention,
and John J., Lewis, Lewis Mckenzie Jane
Dutman, and n score of other old Republicans
" reconstruction days; senator Houston Of
Roanoke, Porter Of Albemarle. Dawson, Sandy
Lawson. and dozen other of the old
straight OUT Republicans were conspicuous.
But the me st noticeable feature was the great
number of those who were AZ one time classcd
rs the personal followers of Mahune conspiCu.
uus among whom were Gov. Cameron, John :.
Wise, Gen. Groner. Brady Pendleton. Frasicr,
CLARK of the Wig, senator Riddleberger ex
COngros sinan LibbCy, Mayo, and n goodly
number of colOred men who had lost faith In
such a leader. The enthusiasm knew no
bounds. II was q popular outburst of Rcpub.
liCanism. and as Irresistible as young rcvO.
luton. Long after had retired | heard the
cheers, and fell asleep wondering what the
end will be.
1t Is clear that the power of Malone is
broken and mighty protest against his ma.
chine has gone out. If he will but heed the
warning and remember that Republicanism
itself Is protest against tyranny, he may yet
unite the party and save the state In the com.
ing contest. Will he do IT. No.

million Of indebtedness to Judge Hilton with
which She was charged at the time Of her
death. This puts quite different face on the
case of Mrs. Stewart If the evidence should he
