'Tho polltieal situation now fs very diffor- ent from that of fottr yours ago, The Ite- publicans thon appesled to tho country un- der the-cloud of an Administration which had attracted very general censure for its errors and scandals, and had driven away large numbers of Republican yoters. Tho nomination of Hayes excited no enthusinsm nor hopefuiness, Me was 8 comparatively. unknown man tothe Nation atlarge, Tho fricndsof Bristow, Blaine, and Conkling wore not merely disappointed at tho failure of tholr sovora! candidates, but even more chagrined at the proferenco that was given toan unknown mat, Thero was a.stampedo among the Gorman voters to Tilden which helped him to carry New York, Indiana, and Now Jersoy, and to reduce the majority in other Republican States, ‘Thora were everywhere serlous doubts as to the expe dioney of the resumption polley to which tho Republican party was committed, und tho Democrats pandered to the ‘ rag-baby”” sentiment wherever it represented a con- siderable vote, Tildon was the strongest man in the Democratic party at that tine, and camo forward. with pretensions for “reform? which dazzled and won over a large number of Republicans who had be- come disgusted at the abuses of the preced- ing Administration, ‘Thero had been s fong ern of deep. financial nnd commercial depressten, and there was an Apathy among the Republicans largely traceablo. to the feeling that s change In parties might in somo unexplained way litt the pressure of hard times from tho country. Tho Republicans did not actually wake up until It became evident that the Democrats sought to secure the prize through the re- pression of the Republican vote at the South, and the frauds and imtimidation practiced by the ex-Confederate bulldozerg even then nconalderable portion of the pirty seomed indiiferent to the result, Varlous circumstances have contributed ton notable change In thosituation this year, ‘The Republicans now enter tho campaign upon tha record of an Adininistration that has commanded the respect of all honest and fair-minded men. It 1 felt that President Tlayes has,made an earnest, if not entirely sueeussfulfetfort at sn inprovement In the Civil Servica, from which no Republican suc- cessor can depart. ‘The resumption question lies been settled to the satisfaction of the country, and the -Republican program has proved to be the wisest that could have boen adopted. Money of good quality and unl- fortn value is as plenty now by the utiliza. tion of the coin resources of tho country a3 would have been the supply of depreciated shinplasters If the Kepublican policy of re- sumption had been defeated. Substantial and conservative prosperity hag returned to the country ng a result in part of this Rapub- lean policy, and the average seutiment of the business man, and the farmer, and the manu- fucturer [3 a3 much disinctined to a change of parties now as It was Inclined thereto four years ago. ‘Tho country has had an opportunity to put tho Demoeratic capacity for government to a test during the four years thathave elapsed, for the Democrats have been in control of one branch of Congress during all that timo, and of both branches in tho last two sessions. ‘This test hus not resulted favorably to the Democrats, Durlug a combined session of uine months they have not matured a single measuro of legistution of real usefulness, but havo perversely disregarded many urgent demands madeby the people. ‘'Thelr partisan efforts were in the direction of nulllflcation and revolution unt!l they were checked by the popular rebuke In tho elections of Inst year, Sinco that timo their methods have been sluggish, morbid, and unproductive. ‘The Democrata cannot polntto a single act of legislation during the last two sessions, during which they lave been in complete control of Congress, that will recommend thom to tho continued conftdence of tho Atnerican people, ‘The nomination of Garfiold Is also very diferent in {ts character and effect from that of Hayes, ‘Tho latter has proved to be of tho right metal, but the people did not know 1¢ —had enjoyed no opportunity for ascortaln- ing It—at the time he was nominated. Gar- fictd, on the contrary, has boon one of the most consplcnous and popular mon before tho public of the past olgiteen years, Ilo has proved hiingelf to be n man of striking eapacity for political affairs,, Ho isa man of the people, as his little spoech tn Washing: tlon night before Inst demonstrated auew and as his long-time intimacy with his con- stituents has unttormly attested, ‘The at- tacks that were mado upon him the mo:mont he was nominated havo exhausted their power even before tho Deiocrats have named thelr candidate, People have already settled down to the conviction that he never intentionally or knowingly did a dishonora- blo thing, and that he Is the type of Amer!- “can of whom ovory elttzem6t thls country Is proud, ‘There fs one clreumstanco about Garficld's nomination which gives hin u dlatinetive advantage, His choico was tho vindication ofa principle for which the (rlends of all the othor candidates but one had contended, aud In that sense It was atrlumph for atl of then, even In the hour of misfortune for thelr sev- oral fayorits. At tho samo tine no man eonkd have been chosen who would have “been more acceptable to Gen, Grant's partl- sting, and, fromthe moment it became ovident that Gen. Grant could not-be nominated, the cholce of Garfield was the happiest solution tho Grant men could have asked. Thus he Unites all tha working cloments of the party, along with that urge independent yote which {a naturally Republican, but which has of Jute years drifted away for one causc and another, Altogether the prospects of Itepublican success this yoar are brighter than they huve been sines Gen, Grant was elected for the first thue, ¥ A hernusexrarivy of tha New York IZer- aud las lid v very intorestlag interylow with Bir Gavan Duffy, ono of tho most brilliant inembers of the Young Sretand party, who Is now en route to Englund, after an absence ot many years In Australia, where ho has held various public oMevs, among thom that of Speaker of the now Colonial Parllament. ‘The objcet of his visit 4 to publish a book or Uistory of the orators and Journalists prom- Inent In the revolution of (85, begluning with the period of the O'Connell mectings and endlng with the convietton of Suitth O'Brien and hid frlends, When asked whether he thought the Gladstone Government would be of any service to Ireland, his reply was: “T¢Mr, Gladstone could not carry practical reforms, It was valu to hopethat any one els could. But for tho Individual will of Mr. iludatone the frish Chureh establishment would be still fu full operation, and the List” peasuutry in tree provinces bare of all de- fense against unjust Inndlords.” Froyt this expression of opinion It will bo secon tat Sir Gavan bears no very pleasant remembrances ot tho Churelt authorities.

Garfald unites tho Republican party, ‘This fs the great contral fact of tho politival situ- ation. The party hag not beer solid before eineo 1863, In 1873 tho Young Scratcharg and. all tho idealists revolted at the renomination of Wen. Grant, but their coalltton with the Domoeratia putrid reminiscence destroyed thoir force, and tho country repudiated thom and tholr visionary leader—Greeloy, Ln 1876 the Stalwarts wore bitterly disappointed, and thetr chngrin at the nomination of Hayes rendered tho campaign tukewarm, To-day tho Republican party stands on solld ground, In Its Convention lt armed a prinelple—tho antt-third-torm idea—without assailing the charactor of the great man in whose behalt his personal partisans sought to violate it, and without wounding the feelings of those personal partisans, It also affirined anothor grent princlple,—the right of dlstrict repre- sentation—thus ondvaring itaelf to the masses of {ts adherents by showing conclu sively that it looked. to and refied upon them as tho true and only source of party power, Thon It struck down remorsolesly all the candidates whu personally sought the Presidency, ngaln afirming a great principle-namely: that the high office of President, of the Republic should not ba eagerly sought. Finally it ayolted the rock and the whirlpool whieh usually menace the Convention compelled to drop Its chief can- didates, and solected aman not less widely or leas favorably known to the party and tho country than tho most noted of the unsuc- evssful aspirants. ‘These are the. rensons why Garifold unites the Repubilean party. ‘The unity he has brought to it fs logteal. Republicans know exnetly why thoy -are united,—why they present asolld front to the enemy. The Indopondengs sud the Young Serntchers who objected tirant, nnd Blaine, and Shorman becanse they showed too much eagorness for the prize can work with » will for Garfleld, because he never lifted a tingar to secure the nomination. Tho Stalwarts who supported Grant and Blaine find In the record of Garfleld nothing but Stalwartism, and hence find in his numination all there was of principle in their advecacy of the claims of their respective faverits, ‘The sound-curreney men who supported Sher- mau on account of his record as Finance Minister have In Garfield all thoy could have hoped for In tho Secretary ofthe Treasury. All factions find in Gnr- field the embodiment of tha great Iitens and principles which have made the Republican party the governing power of the country for tho last twenty. yenrs. ‘Thoy feel that the party is worthy of a new lense of Ife by vir- tuv of tho wisdom {t has so stgually dis- played, Thodefent of the third term, the adoption of the district system of convention representation, and the nomination of a “dark horse ” who is the peer of each and every one of the white horses entered for the rice in statesmanship and fame,—thesy acts of consummate wisd6m constitute 0 revolu- tion In the history of the Republican party which places it on the high-road to a grand success, : TROUBLESOME TURKISH RELATIONS. The inevitable and interminable Eastern question agaln looms up in Europe, aud tho Powers are once jhore about to meet In con- ference to see if the Borlin ‘Treaty ean bo euforeed,—that Instrument which Beacons- field bonstingly announced was to bring “honor with peace.” ‘Thy program orlgl- nated With tho English Cabinet, which re- cently issued 9 cireulur the purpose * of which was to bring about a unton of the (rent Powers and secure their concerted action on the Eustern question, or, more strictly speaking, the adoption of ways and means to carry out those clauses of the Ber- Hin Treaty which have been studlously and steadily Ignored by Turkey, though two years have clapsed sinea this treaty was: signed, which called for immodinte action, Tho principal causes which have led to this action on the part of the Powers aro five in number: 1, Tho settlement of the Mon- tenegrin boundary, which was called Cor by the treaty, has made no progress. A ‘Turko- Montenegrin convention hus been held, but, like every convention In which ‘lurkey has played n part, It has instituted such toch- alealities and opposed such obstacles that no progress has been made, and tho boundaries of Montenogro still remalu as they were two yeargugo. On the Morzegovina side Turkey has roaolutely opposed all chunge, and on the Albania slde all progress hus been Inter- rupled by tho. uprising of the Albanians, urged on by ‘Turkish agitation and in- trighe,—on uprising so serlous thot it threatens nn armed fnvasion of “Monte negro, whoso people have only been demanding rights guaranteed them by tho treaty, & ‘The Greelan boundary remalns ng It was two years ago, though England promisad {ts extension and the Powers In tho trenty agreed to usa tholr {ntl enco fn securing Ht. ‘Two Turko-Greeian con- ventions have been held, ii both of whieh tho Porte, by constant delays and quibbles, threw so many obstacles In the way that nothing was accomplished In elthor, In the cause of Greece It ts 8 peculiar hurdshlp and Injustice, as Greace was ready to go Into the field at a porlod of the war when her assist ance would have xccured hor the indomulty sho now desires, but forbore dolng su upon the ropresentations of Knglend that hor claim should be concuded in the Berlin Con- vention, 8. ‘The reforms promfsud tn the European provinces and demandad: by: the treaty, eapocially in Eastern Roumella, have nover buen executed, and, more than thls, ‘Turkey has never shown any dispost- ton to execute thom, 4, ‘The reforms deinanded for Armenia stand fn the same category with those in Europo so far as fulltlment ts concerned, though they are far more pressing br churacter, ‘The slxty-flest articla of the treaty provides that tho Porte shall curry out without further alelay the amellorations and reforms demand: ed by focal roquiremunts In the provinces Inhabited by the Armonia, and that uo Powers will protact tha Armenians agulnst the parlodieal raids of thelr fleree and war- Uko neighbors, the Circassians aul Kurds; but not a reform has been executed, and those tribes continue thelr forays with per- fect Lmpunity, ‘The fifth queation to come before tho Conference af tha Powers fs tho Noancial onv; but this pertalns chielly to Kugland, the princtpal eredttor of ‘Turkey, Ut Ja jntlmated that this question may be settiod by tho establishment of an Interna- tlonal Flnanelal Commission like that whieh Is now admlulstering the fhances of Egypt. ‘The attitude of ‘Varkey tuwards’ Use forth: coming Berlin Conference of the Powers ty Just what might have. grt oxpecterd, At the Srat intimation of {t the "Tarkish Cabinet mei and resolved to resist to the utmost the aston of the Powers, vlther callectlyely or Individually. ‘They clalmed that ‘Turkey liad sucuted the puqulrements of the treaty with ‘gard to Montenesre and that the hatter proy- dave hus refused to dbeept them; that the Greek ave imposed demands whioh are tine possible to satisfy; that regulat fons have beon Urawhlip with roference to the reforms fu Rountlia to bo submitted to tho Intorna- tional!
