What fs the cause of tho extraordinary ex: eitement In the Reprbiican party af tls tine? Ts it nn oxeltement duo to the personal feelings of men toward tho respective candt- date? Is {t because some persons think A is the niost sultable man, or that B is 1 stronger man, or that O would make n better Prest- dent, or that D would fill the ofice with more ability or dignity than either of the others? pon all these points parties have. been dividkd at the meeting of all Conven- tions, In 1800 the Republican Convention was un- usually exvited; the friends of Seward, Chase, Lincoln, and Bates were strong in the advocacy of their favorit, but there was pot heard one word of murmur against the noml- nation of either of these men because of any- thing In their past record, Tho entire Re- publican party, without a division, was pro- pared to recept tho nomination and support, the enndidate, “No man suggested for the nomination was met by any protest because of any personnal, or political, ar legal objec- tlon making his ‘candidacy offensive to the morn! or traditional sentiment of the coun- try. It has heretofore always been a strug: gle between the frlentts of rival candidates as to which 6ne of a number of unobjection- able men should be chosen, and nothing | more, Such is not the case now. ‘The contest has a-wider difference of opinion. ‘There is a pos- itive and poremptory protest from all the Re- publican States agalust the nomination of Gen. Grant. ‘That protest is not because of any personal dislike to him, but because of a well-settled conviction that, [f nominated, he cannot be elected, and because he ought not tobeelected, ‘The objection that he cannot be elected is sustained by the popular protest of the Republicans in those Republican States whose Electoral votes aro Imperative- ly necessary to his election. There 1s no Re- publican in Ohlo who believes that Grant can carry that State, and defeat In Ohio at the October election wi! be but the forerunner of his overwhelming and disastrous defeat in New York, Pennsylvania, Ilinols, Wis- consin, Indiana, New Hampshire, and’ New Jersey In November. ‘Chis objection that he cannot be elected comes with tho almost unanimous protests of the Republicans of Olio and Indiana, and ts sustained by tho protests of the Republicans of Kansas, Iowa, Mlnols, Michigan, and Wisconsin, ‘The only Northern Statethatsonds 9 unan- imous demand for Grant’s nomination Is the little State of Colorado, which has but one Congressional district and three Electoral yotes. 2 Tho second objection, that If nominated he ought not to be elected, is of vitalimportance, because tt furnishes 9 sufliclent reason to tens of thousands of Republicans for re- fusing to support him, if not for directly voting agalnst him, It is an objection which Is entertained by Republicans in every State ofthe Union, It is a vital objection, because it invites if not compels all those who enter- taln it to defeat hin, and in so doing defeat the party at all hazards, Gen,. Grant has been twico elected; has served two terms, and so unfortunate if not disgraceful was the second term that the Republienans, in thelr Stata Con- ventions generally, anticloated the action of the Cinefnnatt Convention in 1876. by do- claring in strong terms their devotion to the Nattonnl polley of limiting service fn the Presidential office to two terms. That is the Jaw of the Jand,—a law which, though un- written, is stronger than statutes and con- stitutions, because founded upon tho tradi- tions, the memories, and the republican In- stlucte and feolings of the whole people, ‘There are in every Northern’ State In this country a great’ body of Republicans whose objection to a third term cannot bo overcome. by party alleginnee or by party dlselpline, Insome of tho strongest Republican States this fecling fs so widespread and so deep as’ to render it morally certain that: the Repub- Mean opposition to a third term will ‘defeat a third-term candidate In such States, ‘Tho objection that ff nominated Gen. Grant ought not to be elected 1s strengthened by tho means and deylees resorted to by certaln unscrupulous political bosses to forco his nomination upon unwilling membors of the party. The State Conventions In New York and Pennsylvania wero tyrannical In the ox-" treme, We need not repeat thelr history, which did much to arouse the people of the Western States in thelr own dofonse. But the IInols Convention has aroused a Nation al feeling of disgust. ‘The New York and Pennsylvanin Conventions, however, con- fined thelr usurpations to the impotent effort to stile popular sentiment by dictating tho rule to vote by unit; but they left ench Con- gressional delegation free to appoint its own delegates, Not so in Itinols. Mere the Con- vention iteolf was corrupted by the oxelusion of a suficient number of legal delegates ond tho admission of iflegut delegates to galn a small majority, und then by taking from ten of tho nineteen Congressional districts tho power and the right to appolnt thelr own delegates to Chicago,—and which right they had already exerelsod,-—-appolnting twenty othordelegutes In thoir place. ‘I'his was the usurpation’ of an arbitrary power, not attempted In’ this country before. 7 ‘This scandalous attempt to secure Grant's nomtuation by giving hin 42 votes from Hille nols, when at most he could only cial 23, to Waguust him, hus [uereased by Intensl- fying tho hostility to such & nomfnation, * For these reasons there Js an exeltement concerning this nonination such as has never existed before, On the one side ta 4 persist ont effort by.a combination of despurado Spoils busses, already In bad odor with the inujority of the people, to suppress and de- feat any choice by tho general body of -the purty, and to defy and te override with cow temptali tho protests from the Republican yotors of Itepublican States against the nom- ination of a man who, inthe declared judg- ment of tens of thousands, cunnot and ought not to be elected if nominated, eee Go nack to. tho outbrouk of tho Roboliton, Whon tho Urst yoluntecry wore mustoring at Line con's call, and our own Chicngo soldiers wero on their way to Cairo, Stand with mo inthe Court-ifouse square at tho county-sent of Juok~ sun County, and bebold John Logun in tho midst of bis own consttuonts, and bear bim tell them, Og Ladld, that that War wasa Black Ropublican Wur; tat Abo Lingaln wuntod Culro hokt forth Nort, and it ought to bo held for the South, and Hot to yo into the Union arny, but tate the Confederate ranks.

Until he shall do so tho statement made by Mr, Mason WH bo Implicttly bolleved In this community, In the event of a dental by Gen, Logan, the auestion will then resolve itself into one of veracity between the two gentlemen, any AN INCIDENT OF THE MASS-MEETING. In the great indignation meeting at Music- Hall on Wednesday evening there was o strange episode, It occurred when Mfr. Mason referred to the history of France under Bonaparte, drawing a parallel between the revolution of 1799, which gave the Freneh nation the Consulate of three persons, with Napoleon ns Kirst Consul, in ptncu of the Directory established by tho people, and tho assumption of supreme power in the Repub- Mean party by the Sonatorlal Syndicate. Said Mr. Mason: Our great Republican host has got its three Consuls now; the third hing just taken bis Bout. What will thoir next step be? Consul Conukiog and Consul Caincron greet Consitl Logan well us he clinbs to thofr sido over stutted bullot-boxes, and fraudulent votes, and throttled majoritics, and give him tho ublef pluce of all, for he has Hong farthor than even thoy dared to go, The nauls uro in power now; their Metora ure ubout thom, Look woll to it that thoy do not oatablish thotr Empire over us. At tho outset the vast assemblage was disposed to treat the parallel lightly. ‘There was merriment and laughter. But as tho speaker proceeded the merriment ceased, the laughter died away, and there super- vened thitt peculiar sound, half rustle, half murmur, described as“ sensation,” which was. soon supplemented by the hush ef absolute allence, Tho audience fully comprehended the force of the parallel ‘They were stared by Its apposituess and moved to profonnd reflection, The American people fre too prone to Inugh at tho iden that thelr cherished form of government can ever bo endangered by the machinations of any cabal of ambitious men, In thelr magnificent pride and superb courage thoy are apt to dis- regard the lessons of history. But the audi- ence in Music-f{all was composed of men and womon of first-rate Intellectual capacity and high culture,—the flower of the profes- stonal, Itterary, mercantile, and enterprising elnases of Chicago,—and Mr. Mason's start- ling parallel shocked them, Thoy passed in review the methods adopted by the “threg Consuls” of the Republlean party to force } the nomination of Gen, Grant upon an un- willing constituency, and realized that thelr motives must be ns bad as thelr methods. ‘Thon it became plain to them that three men seek the nbsolute control of the grandest party of American history,—seck to name tho President in opposition to the wishes of the intases composing the party; and in purau- anice of this usurping purpose seck ruthles- ly to strike down the most hallowed of ‘party precedonts. ‘Thor; when Mr. Mason uttered his warning—" Lodie well’ to {6 that they do not establish thelr, Empiro over us”—there went up a great shoutofapplause, which roso and fell, and roso again, voleing tho will of thousands of determined men and patriotic women, And that great shout was but the- echo of the prevailing sentiment of the Re- publican masses of this clty, this State, and the Nation. Away with tho three Consuls! ‘WILL THE SYNDICATE REFLECT! *¥ ‘The supporters of Gen. Grant for a third term of the Presidency are about to meet In this elty. Tho managers pretend to have enough strength to nominate him on the first ballot. Under these olrcumstances they would, one might suppose, discuss the prob- abilities of the election. Messrs, Conkling, Coneron, ond Logan are unscrupulous ina- chine manipulators, but they are also astute pollticlana. ‘Chey have strained the machine, andare still not sure of success, Conkling coerced the Republicans of New York, and thelr delugutes are breaking thelr, chalng, €umeron did tho same in Pennsylvania, and the delegutes from that State are In open revolt, Logan, seeing tho futility of the ef- forts of his fellows in the Enst to enforco the inatruction and unit rule, bagged the whole Litinols dotegation, but encountered a contest in ten districts! It follows that there {s not a Northern State unanimous for Grant. Unanimity for the candidate of the Senntorlu! Syndicate is only to be found in certain Southern States, Nke -Misgourt, Alnbama, and Arkansas, which can by no possibility give him n single Elect~ “oral vote, Alubamals “solld ” for Grunt for the nomination, but In the olection of 1876 It was solld for Tilden-by 34,000 majority, Arkansas Js solid forQrant, but It was solid for Tilden by 19,000 majority, Kentucky fa solld for Grant, but it was solld for Tilden by 60,000 majority.

Cameron, was carriad by the Republican party In 1876 by Jess than 10,000 uajority ina yote of 770,000, and that, too, when thore was no third-term issue to divide, weaken, and demoralize the common effort, =” ‘Tho third Syndicate State—Minots—whose Republican Convontion was domlnatad, from first to lost, by one man, and at whose command the dulegations of ten Congressional districts: were ruthlesly disfranchised and treated .with unparalleled {ngolence,—Illl- nols was rescued by lesa than ftvo thousand majority ou the whole votu, It will be wol] for tho Senatorial Syndicate to consider whother tho tricks they have played wpon the Republicans ot New York, Pyyusylyaula, and Iiinols will be likely to have a strongthoning effect upon tho party jn those States, Admit thatthe Republican party in three great States has been sucvcssfully gagged by three men, premisiug also that ot the lust Presidential clection the aggregate yote of thoge States showed an anti-Republicau ma- jority, and the question arises; WHE the Re publican party go gagged and bound ‘to the polls in Noveluber and be strong enough to hold Ponusylvanta and UNuols “by tho skin of thetr teeth,” nud rescue New York from the grip of the Democracy? ‘These be questions that the Syndicate should consider,—but will they?

In thelr devotion to Grant tha Senntortal Syndicate have violnted the “commanding sense of right and wrong” of the musses of the Republican party, And who dare say that thoy will not be revenged on their too confident leaders if the scheme to misrepre+ sent them and violate thelr wishes !s carried to its ultimate conclusion ? THE NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF OHI- CAGO’S PROTEST, It the delegates and visitors to the Chicago Convention enn escapes the smnll clique of mach!no officcholders and their cronies who are still “booming” for a third term of Grant, they will find amoung the people of this elty and this State the most determined and deep-rooted opposition to. the third-term scheme, if it shail occur to thein that this pronounced autagonism among Republican voters tu a consplevous candidate before the Convention is altogether unnaual, they need uot be at a loss to discover the true explann- tion. It would bo very strange If the Re- publfemis of Itlinols should rndfeally differ from the people of adjoining States of tha same section. It would bes curious political frenk if the grent majority of the Republican, voters In Ohto, Indiana, and Michigan on one sido of Illinois, and in Wisconsin, Jowa, Minnesota, and Kansns on tho other side of Illinols, should be opposed to tho nomination of Grant,—ns they are,— and in Ilinols, lying. between, should have the “spontaneity! for the third-torm eandi- date which fing beon elated by his oftelal managers. ‘The people of the grent North- west ure bound together by like interests and sympathies. They have been almost solidly Republican in politics during the lasttwonty- four years, Thelr proferences and dislikes are alinos¢ uniformly the same, aud ft would bennomstous if this Stato were on organics excoption in the present struggle. But there Is another and more potent ren- gon for the tnlyorsal and emphitic expros- sion of the popular. opposition to the third- termscheme in Chicago and Illinofs, ‘The people of this State, and especially of this elty, are under the ban of disfranchisement ng the eno stands to-day before the National Convention. ‘They are robolling cn masse against usurpation, oppression, fraud, and theft, 1f the delegates to the National Convention could have looked in upon the two immense meetings of citizens which were held In this elty on Wednesday evening to protest against ‘the Logan fraud, they would one and all have been satished that tho Republican voters cannot be cheated in the name of the Republican party without being excited to vindicate thelr personal and political rights atthe polls. And yet the meeting at Central Muste-Inll and the overflow in Farwell Hall inadequately represented the popular indig- nation of Cook County Republicans, acting for the disfranchised Republicans of half the State, at the outrage which the Grant inana- gers have put upon them. If it had been pos- sible to procure the Convention hall, with a senting enpreity of 10,000, the Wednesday night meeting would still have had anover- flow of protesting Engilsh-speakiog Ropublio- aus, and tho next night the hall epuld havo been filled ngain with protesting German Republicans. A Chicago knows how to protest agalust in- justica and usurpation. -‘Tho Exposition Bullding was once filled with a surging mass of 18,000 or 20,000 people to ery ont against a usurping Mayor anda bogs Clty Government, Tho present offort at disfran- chisement is infinitly more irritating, becauss it hns « National bearing, aud seeks to pros- titute tho National Republican party to its ‘base purposes, ‘ ‘Ten Congresstonal districts of Illlnols, three of them representing the great County of Cook, and all of them ready and anxious to vote for any Republican -andidate except the third-term candidate, Jemand that the Nutlonal Convention of the Republican party ‘shall not permit mine other Congressional districts of this State, nearly all of which are hopelesly Democratic, to’ exclude them from a voice in the: seloction of ». candidate, ‘Tho great majority of the Republican voters in these ten Republican districts have been opposed from the start to Grant's nomination for tho sain reasons that have prompted tho Republican States of the Northwest to send solld nut!-Grant delegations-to the National Convention.

On the saine day the Republicans of ench Congresstoun! district. in the State met in their, several districts, and each district appointed two delegates to the Chicago Con- vention, In llnols there was n State Convention, the delegates to which from each Congres- slonal district held a- separate meeting and appoluted two delegates to the Chicago Con- vention, making thirty-eight in all. from tho nineteen Congressional districts, ‘This had been the mfversal practice in this State. A domineering fretion of the State Conven- tion, howover, in addition tothe appointment of the four delegzates-nat-arge, undertook to set naide the appointments already made In ten of the Congressional districts and to ap- point twenty other delegates to represent the mInority In those districts, Now, had the State Committee fn Indiana, in addition to appointing the delegates at large, and after the districts liad made their selections, also appointed delegates to repre- sent tho thirteen Congressional districts of that State, ignoring the right of each district to appoint fts own delegates, the usurpation by that Committee would have been pre- clsely the same as that attempted in IlMnols, Would the Republicans of Indiana submit to such an outrage and disfranchisement?
