They Lnve not been frightened into eoncessiona nor botrayed fnto compromises. Thare were propositions from timorous conservativos to the effect that abait should be thrown out to the anti. Brrizs Domocrats by a division of the oflices, and that those who have been in- clined to abandon the Republican party should bo conoilinted by a partial ‘sacrifice of principles. Fortunately botter connsels have prevailed. Tho Massachusetts Ropub. licans have nomioated a straight ticket, In- cluding many of the strongest mon in tho State, and have put forth a platform that commands the respeot of honest snd intelli- gent mon, For cvery voter whom Borten will be ablo to carry off {rom tho Republican patty, the Republican platform and policy assure the co-operation of ten voters to com. pnss his dofant. The pledge to maintain the public eredit; the nrging of all Inwful moans for-insuring resumption at tho date whon it is promined; the declarntion in favor of cofu ond curroncy that shall bo at par with each othor and socurs recognition tho world over; 1bo encourngement held out for the contin-: ued refunding of the nAtional debtat the lowest possible rate of Intarest; the do- mand for further rellef from taxation by increased ecomomy; tho . approval of the ovident integrity of tho pres- ont Administration; the denunciation of Butten's candidsture as an attompt in bohalt of repudiation to bring disgrace upon the Commonwoalth of Massachusotts,—such ia tho summary of n platform that will unite the honest and consorvative men of Mass- chusotts under the Ropublican flag ton suc- cessful crusade against the demagugues who are pandering to Butlorism and the fanatics who mako the cxistonce of Butlorism pos- siblo, : Wo' belicve it is now a matter of ‘small concern outside tho Domocratic party what course shall be taken by tho Convention callod in the name of Demoeracy to moet at Boston next woek, Whatevor may or may not be done at that Convention, tho contest will till be betweon the Republicanaand the Butlorites; and the Democrats, as a party, will bo scarcoly a factor fu the election, Wo have no doubt that many honest Domoorats in Massachusetts, smarting undor tho dis- graco of affilistion with Burcza aud his gang, aud -also many shrewd pollll. omne in the Democrdtic party, recognizing tho serlous mistake that has boon committed, will make a desporato effort to malutain o soparata party existonce under the auspicos of the Boston Convention. But they will not bo successful. The Worcestor Couven- tion, cven after the sccession of the antl- Burses people, ropresouted tho bulk of Dumocratio sentiment that had deliberately chosen Burres dolegates. Alroady the Bos- tou Convontion is characterizod na & * rump convontion,” and it will bo treated oa o “rump " throughout tho campaiga, If the sontiments ropresontod by Burzes have mado proportionately as much headway in Massa- chusetts a3 the rosult showod thoy hind made in Malne, patriotio Domoorats of Mossa- clusotts will not bo willing to risk tho trinmph of Communism and Fiatism at the polls; such men wili vote with the Republio- an party as the surcsl means of defesting Butlerismn rather then risk sn imponding disastor for the sake of a party that has given up the ghost. With a majority of Demo- crats assursd to Burren by the notion of the ‘Worcester Conventian, the aitnation will be such that every vote for tho straight.out Domocratio tickot that may bo nominated nt Boston will be equivalent to n voto for Bor- sen; in such adilemmn honest men will know Low to choose. If Burnin had start. od out to destroy the Domocratic party, he could not have proceeded mora shrewdly ;- tho hope is that he may bo found mwoung thoe ruing whon the catastropne shall come. didature has a national significance. It haa been promoted and enconraged qnite na much by Demoorata outside of Massachn- sotts as by Massachusstits politiclans.
