Grant. Shelby, +0 & Kune... if [annonce Sherman has one delegate In Champaign, ang ‘Waahburne one in Sangamon, HAVE THE PEOPLE ANY RIGHTS WHICH .A CONVENTION MUST RESPECT? The active supporters of the third-term movement proceed upon the prestunptions theory that the cholee of the Chiengq Con- ventionantst be Hmited to their candldate, Wards, townkhips, ‘districts, and States are organized upon this plan, Conventions ore tuade ap to give "instructlons” that neutral {zo tha senthuents of nearly one-half, and sometines more than one-half, of the Repub- lean yoters of u State. Mr, Blaine’s friends betleve that the selection should ombrace at Teast two candidates In order to Justify the purpose of a convention; but many of these gentiomen are only a little more tolerant than the third-termers, and are inelined to in- sist that the Mepublican cholee neceasnrily ies between Grant and Blaine. ‘The em- ployés of Secretary Sherinan’s ‘Mterary bureau,” and a considerable nimber of the gentlemen holding office under the ‘treasury Department, tuke still a diferent view of tho use, and urge the clalins of thelr chief to a hearing; they would widen out the fleld oc- eupled by the Convention so as to Include a possibility that one of three aspirants may be safely chosen by the Chieazo Con- yention. ‘This onumeration exhausts the list of netlve, working candidates, and the poll- ticlans who arv enlisted In the eause of one or the other of these candidates are yariously engaged In the effort to linpress upon the Republicnn party that there fs no other mna- terial which fs elther fit or available for Pres- idential purposes, The most lMberal of the three factions we have named takes a very contracted view of the situation. The Republican party ts a Na- tional party, It has been in control of the General Government during the Inst twenty years, During most of that tlme It has had inpjority In buth Ilonses of Congress and the government of the niost important States in the Union. Tho porlod of Republican as- eendency has included the most trying or- deals which the American Republic has ever encountered. Secession. war, reconstruction, inflation, panic, and corruption have. tested the strength and capacity of the Republican party, It has gone through a yariuty of ox- porlences, such a8 no other political party ever survived. Is it reasorigble to conclude that, after this extended ‘and arduous trial in tha art of - government, fol- Towed by conspicuous and honorable tri- umphs, the Republican party ts so reduced in strength and so feeble in resources tht its toaso of Mfo depends upon any one man, who, being mortal, may pasa away at any time? Is it plausible to contend that, If the fate of the party doesnot absdlitely depend upon one ian, then there are only two, or at most three, who ean save the party from wreck and ruin? Ins the long and prosper- ous career of the Republican party educated 80 fow statesinen, or havo all the able, conr- ageous, and popular members of the party deserted it? ‘Che original theory of tha Electoral Col- lege was that a certain numbor -of ropre- sentative men from tho various States, se- lected by the people, could be safely trusted with the choice of a Chivf Magistrate from Among all the eltizens of the Republic. Then the party spirit naturally developed strength, and the practice of forma! nomlnations by. conventions was a restraint put upon the chosen Electors. Tho Electors are no longer morally freé to cast tholr votes for any one except tho nominee of thelr party convention; they represent a singles candi- date, But, until recently, the party conven- {ion has been regarded ng a representative body upon which is conferred « part of tho right and duty that originally attached to the Electoral College, ‘The theory is that the people shall agree upon cert men in whose judgment and honesty of purpose they can trust, who shall meet together In consultation and in turn agree upon suing citizen who ombadles tho sentimonts of hls party and who enn command a popular sup- port for the Electors who shail represent his cause, But the recent practice would seem to Imply that the National Convention ean no longer bo a free body, but that it must be made up of special and sworn agents of ono or tivo, or at most threo, candidates, Quoes- tlons of compirative fliness and avatinbility muat give way to “instructions” that have buon man{pufated undor machine influences, ‘and the element of choice or preference seenis to have been entirely ellsinated from the functions of the men to whom a selection has been nominally delegated, It is insuiting to the Republican party, and. through {¢ to the intelligence and resources of the American people, to maintain that any one innn 13 essentini to the vindication of Its prinelples, or that any one man ombodicd all the worth, esteem, and popularity that a party enrecr of twenty yenra lias beun ablo to develop. 1t 1s natural that some Iepub- {feans should prefer Gen. Grant, others Blaine, others some ono else; but such prefer- ence shoulil not be so intolerant as to close the Nata for tho Presidential prize against all other citizens, Aro such senna Edmunds of Vormont, Washburne of Illinois, Gar- fleld of Ohio, Chamberlain of Maine, Wine dom of Alinnesota, and many others of revog- nized ability, unblemished character, and large popularity, to be exeluded from tho available and destrablo material for the Preal- dential office? Ifttshgll bo found that the antagonism to tho third term fs so wide- ly spread aud so deeply rooted as to threaten the defent of Gon. Grant incase he bo the Republican. ‘ean- didate, fy there none other of Republican principles to whom the party cay turn? ‘It Gen. Grant's adherents shull develop sugh keen hoatility to laine (because the latter has dared to oppose himself’ to their cand!- dnt) ng to endanger the succogs of the party with Blaine ns ita loader, must the party atlll confess Its poverty in abllity and statesingn- ship, and abide by tho alternative betwoen -the two contending candidates? If it be ‘prictically deyionstrated that some other eltizen can unite the strength of the party,. appouse all factions, allay all dissenstons, and appoal to the confldence. of. the Amorican’ people, ag Hayes did in 1876, has the tine come when the Republican party will not be permitted to combine upon such a leader? ‘Tho mas#of the voters take a broader view of a Presidential election than that urged by politiclaus who aro tled uy to the fortunes of some one candidate, and there have been recent signs that tho popular influence Is be ginning to counternct the tmpression which: the “ xpocialista’ are seeking to spreatl. An instance of thists found in certain expres- stons that enme to ‘fink ‘Prmuxn's notice yesterday from different quarters. ‘The Chi- cago Journal, which Jeans to Grant, had aald in regard to tha sentiment of Mlnols: “1C Grant and Blaine (between whan the contest was admitted to be close] were out of tha way Washburne would bo the people’, choles by a very largo majority.” Comment- ing upon this, the Indanapotls Journal, which leans to Blaine, says that Blaine ts ahead of Grant in Indiana, but repeats {n the same words that “if both were out of the way Washburne would bo the people's eholee by a Inrge inajority.” ‘The Cinein- natl Commerotal, whieh advocates Sher- man, thinks that Gon. Grant will not Wave moro’ than one-third of the Chi- eago Convention, and that the Convention will be called upon to deelde between Shorman ond Blane, or name a third many “and in case thore Isa third man,” ndds the Commercial, “ public option has strongly designated Washburne.’ A Michigan mem- ber of Congress nt the sntie thine reports a prepouderating sentiment in his State tn fa- yor of Blaine, butadds: “The feeling among Michigan Republicans now appears to be that, f€ they hayo to fall back on anybody else, Washburne.will be thelr choice.” ‘These slinultancous and independent oxpressions from four diferent States would probably tind a favorable response from every Repub- lean State in the Union if they could bo formatly submitted to the voters. If Mr. Washburne wero involved in a heated, per- sonal contest for tho nomination, as Gen. Grant, Mr, Binineg nud Secretary Sherman are, may be that the public mind would turn wiilin stinilar accord to Edmunds of Vermont, Chamberlain of Maine, or somo other able, upright, popular, and avaliable eatizon. Sholl the National Republican Con- vention be so packed that {¢ will not be free to choose a candidate upon whom Republic: ans everywhere can and will unite? . even feet, AW ENTIRE ASS. Ono Warren M. Bateman, an Ohfo man, has just fssued at Washington, over his own signature, as chief of the Sherman Bureau, © pamphict containing extraets froin the editorials of ‘Tuz Cmicaco Trtnune from August to December, 1877, In whieh the re- sulnption of specie-puyments in gold alone on Jan, 1, 1879, was declared to be linproba- ble, if not impossible, ‘These oxtracts ara taken with especinl care to leave tho infer- enea that this paper was opposed to a re. sumptionof specie-payments. Tins CincAao Trusuxe favored the remonetizationand free coinage of silver. ‘The Secretary of the'Treas- ury opposed the restoration of silyer anit favored resumption in gold alone. This would make all the greenbacks, Nationnl- bank notes, and all debts, public and private, payable In gold alone, of which at that tine thare was not over $150,000,000 ‘in the coun- try, Tue Treoune, day after day during the entiro year of 1877, advocated the restorn- tion of silver and opposed any and every at- tempt to enforce specie-payments in gold alone, espocially as to do so would necess!- tate tho retirement of ull papor money and tho reduction of the entire cttrreney of the country to denr and scareo gold. This man Bateman has {ssued his pamphlet, inking ex- tracts from tho edftorinis of this papor and ofideavoring togiveto thems perverted mean- ing. « What is the purpose sought by this pam- phict? Some weeks ngo this Ass, Batoman, mao napecch in Ohlv in,which he professed to deseribo a so-called.intervlow between Mr. Meuill, of this paper, and Mr. John Sherman, Ho focated this Interview at Washington Ip the winter of 1877-78, In It ho deseribed Mr. Medill appealing, as a inan ina bankrupt contitlon, to John Sherman to repudinte and nullify the Resumption law, bewalling the condition to which If would reduve the country, and when Sherman, with the hero- ism that would have shamed the noblest Roman, refused to do this net, that Mediit threatened him with annihilation and venge- ance, and lias ever slice refused to support Sherman for the Republican nomination for President. Batoninn, the Ass, proposed to unmask the villain who had attempted to seduce the Sec- retary, ‘This statement of tho Iinterviow was Promptly and unequivoenily denfed, nnd the falsity so clearly established that to what- ever other objections were made to Br, Sher- man was added the weakness of allowing Bateman, tho Ass, to speale for him. Mr. Shorman, thorefore, from a feeting of Kindness to the poor animal whose zeal was. Insuch excess of his intelligence, wrote « note stating that the only interview he had had with Mr, Medill was “in the full of 1877.7" Mr, Medill was in Galveston, Tex., when ho saw this note, and promptly disclosed Its nb- surdity by showing that he had not been in Washington at any time in the fall of 1877, and consequently the change in date had uot changed tha falsity of tho orlginal state- ment of Bateman, the Asa. Now Batenian, the Ass, finding his sonsn- tlonnl story of the interview completely blocked, has Inveiglod the other nsses of tho Bureau to waste tholr time and moncy {n the publication of this pamphlet; but the herd had intelligence enough not to sign it, leay- ing the wholo glory to the longest cars, ‘Try Citoago ‘Titpung In 187% was filled with demunds for the. restoration of allver; itwas not oa party question; ‘Lun Trmuny was backed by tho entire people of the West, and by no portion of the poople more heartily than by the people of Ohlo, Whon Mr. Shorinan visited Oljlo in that year, Was ‘Thinune implored) hin to explain to the people of, Ohlo whether tho Governmant proposed when resuinption took place that the greonbacks were to bo withdrawn from clreulation or not; whether ho expected sllyor to be restored and coined to the full capacity ofthe mints; whether he intended after Jan, “1, 1879, to have gold the exclusive legal-tonder money of the country; and when and how he was to get the gold for this purpose; but Mr. Sherman refused to say one word on any of these pulnts to the people of Ohio, leaving uncon: tradicted the bold assertions of the Now York press that allver was not to be reatored, that greenbacks wore to be redeemed In * gold coin” and withdrawn forever, and that after Jan, 1, 1870, gol was to bo the exclusive legal-tender money of the country, ‘The Democrats curred the State of Ohio nt that election by 20,000 majority, and to Mr, Sherman's refusal to explain these questions to a people vitally intereatod in thei that do- feat was, perhapa, to some extent attributed, Now, Batemun, tho “Ass, has been culling extracts from somo of theso editorials and going to the expense of printing them, Ti Tarounk- could have: furnished him: with hundreds of editorlals on the subject, which, if ha had read with an ability to comprehend them, might have awakened fntelllgonce enough to enable him to understand what an Ass ho was, . s In tho beginning of thts controversy, pro- yoked by this subor-zealous thistle-cater, ‘Tuts Tripune stated that the thing sought to be established by tho frlonds of Mr, Sherman was, that Tun Cutcago Truexe had op posed vehemently the course of Mr. Sher- man on the silver question, and on all ques- tions dependent thoreon, and had equally op- posed his scheme to demonetize tho gredn- backs, nied had opposed nll his measures hay- ing for thofr object the catablisiunent of an exclusively gold legul-tender currency; they wore at Iberty to make the most of {t,—that Tis Trinuxs would not waste time or spncu on that point. $ But the “Interview” promulgated by Bateman, tho Ass, was so imalictously wti- true It.wns dented, as was. also tha samo In- terview with the dnte changed. The publi- ention tn this pamphict of garbled extracts from editorials on resumption “in gold nlono” as evidences that the editor of this paper pleaded impending bankruptey to In- dco tho Seeretary of the Troasury to nullify tho Inws and ylolate his sworn duty, is too contemptible, too small, to bo charged against Seoretary Sherman, and can only be attributed to Bateman, the Ass, whose vanity: has ‘lod him to suppose that the cys of the world were ttpon ‘him, when {n fact his ears atone have been visible. CANDIDATES AND THE PEOPLE, Let us keep quite cool on the Presiential question, Above all, [t should be borne co stantly {n mind that this Is a Government of the peopte, for tha people, by tho people, nots Government of Presidential candidates, for Prosldential candidates, by Presidentint candidates, There is not much danger that the people will forget this fact, but the ma- chine organs have allowed it to slip entirely outof mind. They assume that the candi- dato for the Presidency, whoever ho may be, is entitled by virtue of that fact alone to the solld vote of his State in Convention. Sup- pose every State, big and little, In the Union should happen to possess an aspirant, big or little, for the Prestdontiol nomination of the Republican party, On the theory of tho organ, the friends of each of the thirty-elght candidates would be precluded by a high senso of honor from putting forth tho smallost effort to securo votes for him outside the precincts of his State. For example: Suppose Senntor Camn- eron of Pennsylvania wore a candidate, Senator Conkling of New York a candidate, and Senator Logan of Ilinols a candidate, If Senator Logan’s friends should seek votes for him in Pennsylvania or New York Sen- ator Logan himself would be regarded as o “bully” and ag treating Messra, Conkling and Cameron “with lofty:disdain and supremo contempt; and on the other hand if, under atch clrcunistances, tha friends of Messrs, Conkling and Camoron should seck votes for their candidates in Ilinols those esthnabls gantlemen and distinguished stutesmen would be regarded ag “bullies,” and os treating Mr, Logan “with lofty dls- dain and supreme contempt.” ‘Tho desire of Logun's friends in Pennsylvanian and New York to send Lognn delegntes to the Con- vention would bo regarded as evidence of Logan’s intent to “stab Conkling and Cameron, and those gentlemen would, ac- cording to the organ, be Justified In making Logan “suffer for tho attempt.” This Is the langungy of an organ, It follows that, to contro! the vote of a Stato, big or Httle, in convontion, it is only nopeysary for Tom, Dick, of Ifnrry to become a big or little candidate far the Presidentint nomination of lis party. By virtue of hfs right to the vote ofhis Stato he may go to the Convention with that yote in his pocket, And if he has aright to carry it thore, the right to use it ay he decing best Is certatuly Included. So, when the thirty-alght candidates are nsscm- bied, they havo tho power to block tho Con- vention until they ean trade off thelr prop- orty to tho best advantngo, ‘This fs the con- clusion to which the logis of the machine leuls. According to Its theory Mr. Blaine ts entitled to control the vote of the Malne delegation becatise he'lives In the State of Mulne snd fy enndidnte for tho Presidency; Mr. Shermun has the same Night of ownership in the Ohlo delega- {lon for the same ronson; Gon, Grant holds a martgago on Ilnols for the samo reason; ond Mr. Edmunds may monipulnte the Vermont delegation for himsolf first, anid for whomsoever he desires afterwards. If Mr. Morton wera alive ho woul! own Ind!- ana, and {f Bir, Bristow wore a candidate ho eauld approprinte Kentucky. The stupidity of Pinchback is marvelous, since he has only %o become an aspirant for the Presi- dency to hold the delegation of Louisiana in his breeches-pocket by virtua of the divine right of candidacy. Says a machine organ: Ilinofs, upon whom ho (Grant) fins conferred go much distinction, loves and venorntes him, it would sink Into contempt wore it to so far forgot itsclf na to jotu hands wits any man—we do not care whnt his gitts—to humiliate and humble the battlo-senrrod hero who guvo lfa totho country In its direst extremity, It will notdo this, We have no fear of that. Dh {s an inault to UMnotsana and a reproach upon our good nme that such a pusalbiiity fs debatod and canvassed, ‘Tho theory that a candidate for tho Prost- deney, whoever he may be, fs entitled ta the solld vote of his State merely on a¢count of hls residence {a oxceedingly pernicious, be-. cause it Involyes tho forced suspension of Judgment of tha people of the State, In the present fnstauce, for example, the organ In- sista, that the Republicans of Ohio, » great Stato, shatl caxt_thoir voto In favor of Jolin Sherman, whethor they belleyo his nominna- tion to be the wisest thing or not; and that the Republicans of UMnols, another great State, shall cast thelr vote for Gon.

C., April 1—The Hous ‘nally passed tho Army Appropriution bill with apolitical rider bya party vote. Tho Domo orate, stung by tho tnunts of tho Ropubtfonns during tho Inst threo or four days, and appre hensive apparently that press eriticlams might creute tho popular iinpression that thoy did not dare to moot tho fesucs in debate, put forth one of thelr best speakers, Gon, Thomna Ewing, of Ohio, to close the cage for the Democrats. ‘This Mr. Ewing did in aspecoh of & grout donl of power, in tho course of which ho vory sharply arraigned the Republloans for political incone alstency in opposing this particulnr ridex,as woil ns the goneral principle of riders upon ‘ap. propriation bills, Gon. Ewing had carefully collated procedonts during ycars of Republican rulo in Congress, and ¢lnimed that up to tho te the Democrats took nosscsston of tho louse the Republicans had uttachei 9693 riders to ape propriation bills, many of which riders were of an important political ehnracter. Ewing's argue ment consisted of a summary of poifts made in favor of slmitar legisintion at the uxtra eg slun. Mr. Ewing was couragcous onough to ro: py to tho Ropudlican insinuutiona that tha Democrats would be glad to go to tho stump again this full on tho sano issues, and ho EXPRESSED TS HOPE “that we willnat como outgo badlyns wo dig lust fall,” an utterance which was greoted wit! derisive laughter on the Republican side.
