The Louisville Courier Journal thinks the
colored delegate must have had pleasant
time in Minneapolis, and also have Sc
cured liberal education. II SAYS:
There are many brilliant opportunities
in this convention for the culored delegate.
His white republican friend will make a
man of him. When he has run the gauut-
let OF the various bar'ls which are tapped
ana untapped at Minneapolis: when he has
sampled all the delights OF pure and mixed
drinks; when he has learned that broken
promise is as empty trifle az a boast of
the tin-plate liar. he will be we'll grounded
in civilization and will be prepared TO re-
turn to the South and abuse his white
Deighbors IN times of prosperity and 90 70
them for assistance in times OF adversely.
We will venture a guess that the south
ern delegate will not have to walk home.
THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL went into
a spasm when it learned that the repub-
ican convention was opened with PRAYER.

All, no there was no spasm about il,
merely an ebullition of righteous iodigna-
ton at the hypocrisy of the proceeding.
After vilifying and Safeguarding each
other dd hbitum for three DAYS the re-
spective followers of BLAINE and HARRI-

blessing upon the outcome of such incon-
gruous and disgraceiul proceedings.

There Are No Democratic Politicians the

The majority of the democrats of

cannot vet be foretoId whether this
wing of the democratic party viii sue

new party. It is perfectly clear that
the eastern cities are in sharp autago-
uism with the agricultural and manu-
featuring states west and south, aud
that they viii make no concessions to
Harmonize and keep the party together.
The feeling has always prevailed ez-
ueusively in alliance circles that the
west and south must com bina to beat
the cast If a new party had TO be
formed to do it. The present aspect
of the democracy is that a plane of
c-eaveage has suddenly developed
along lines which had clearly been
traced by the alliance. This is the an-
ticipated result of the continued policy
of forcing the perpetual candidacy of @
single person upon the party as one so

President Polk writes OF It's Purposes.
BesponsibtIItIss aud PossIbIJItias-
Your esteemed favor of the 8OLh ulE
Just received, in which You ask my
views as to the great Industrial confer
ence TO be held In the city of St Louis
ON the 22d proN The expression de-
sired you indicate by certain sugges-
tiuns which I answer in the order In
which yo9 put them.
First THE Importance OF the Feb
ruary conference"
Tt is important as a declaration that
the great industrial elements Of the
American people are dissatisfied with
existing conditions; that unnatural aud
ruiu1us Inequalities exist, Ivhi "a have
produced "a deadly depression and par
alysis in the vealth-produciug energies
of the people, and which should not
and cannot with safety, be longer
quietly endured. 1t Is an orderly and
peaceful appeal for such readjustmeut
Of conditions as viii secure TO honest
labor. ia all department Of industry,
an open field and an equal chance with
all other classes and interests. 1t fore
casts an era of revolution IA economic
investigation aud research and in gov
ernmental policies for fostering a just
aud equitable development in our po-
itical and material progress In short,
the convening of the great industrial
organizations on the 22d of Fe February
is calm and deliberate expression on
the part OF the conservative laDorara
and taxpayers OF the United States,
that equality OF rights before the
law" must be respected aud main
tanned
Second. THE obligations and res
possibilities OF those people sending
delegates to that meeting"
This great reform movement is en-
phaJicaIly ''of the people, by the Peo-
pie, and for the people" and in the
selection OF delegates, by whomsosver
made, scrupuIous care should be taken
viii patri5 5tisaliy and faithfully repre-
constituents
Third THE respousibiIitiss of the
delegates to their constituency"
The true relation between a repre-
sentative and his people who have dele
gated 70 him certain Ererogativss nnd
powers, is com pact of the most
solemn and responsive chlFaGtaE. To
be invested with the execution OF the
expressed wiz of his constituents aud
with dtscre tiouaFE powers 90 serve
their best interests, he who shall so
perform these dutie as 10 meet their
approximation IS deserving of au honor
But az he should disregard or violate
that compact, svads its duties, OK be-
tray the high trust repesed iu him, he
would merit the condemnation OF all
