HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ee ee wv in New York. Republican Ha The Republican State Committee has issued its formal call ‘fora State Conven- tion of the party, to be held at Saratoga on the 26th of this month, An cwening re- publican contemporary, which professes great sharply criticises the terms of the call ast be- ing cold and dry and formal, containing XO appeal to the republican the State. rary insists that the call should have been addressed to the supporters of Presi- devotion to the administ:“ation, sentiment 0” Our administration contempo- dent Hayes, and that his name and achieve- ments should have been put forth as a rallying ery for the party. This singular view is of no importance except as indicat- ing the kind of call that would have been issued by the Hayes republicans if their Saratoga conference had not misear- ried. When Mr. Cowdin called his conference, sending invitations only to known supporters of the admin- istration, it was assumed that the State Committee did not intend to have aconyention, and that a great card could be played by assembling State Convention in defiance of the committee. The issuers of such a call could have selected their own topics and phraseology and have made their convention a perfect echo of the policy of Mr. Hayes. This is what they intended and expected. But before the Cowdin confer- ence met it became known that the regular State Committee had decided to call a fall convention after the orthodox pattern. This disconcerted and nonplussed the Cow- din gathering. They made themselves simply ridiculous by insisting that a regu- lar convention should be held after it be- came known that Mr. Conkling’s friends intended to call one. They went through the farce of demanding what nobody was dis- posed to deny, and were chagrined and mor- tified to find that there was no opposition to their professed wish. Their conference was accordingly a fiasco. It had been called on the assumption that Mr, Conk- ling’s friends would not consent to have a State Convention, and that their demand for one would meet with a sufficient response to justify the administration republicans in calling one.in defiance of the State Com- mittee. If’ they could have found the opportunity which they sought they would have framed a call whose terms would have excluded all delegates who did not support the administration. The intended conse- quence was to raise questions of regularity which would have so divided and distracted the republican party as to give the-State to the democrats and thereby prevent.the re- election of Senator Conkling. The Cowdiu conference, finding that it had been forestalled and foiled by the in- tention of the State Committee to’ call a regular and fall convention, merely went through the empty form of asking that a convention be called and pub- lishing an exhortation to ‘hermony.” Nothing was further from their pur. ‘pose than what is expressed by this word. What they really intended when they set out was to separate the Hayes republicans from the Conkling republicans and to set up a claim of regularity for the former. They meant to have a State Con- vention composed of the supporters of the President and to take the risk of deteating the party by this mancwvre. They were checkmated by the intention of the State Committee to hold # regular convention. The friends of Senator Conkling were not slow to take advantage of the abortive Cowdin conference. Its demand for har- mony when it meant discord enabled the Conkling men to *‘go one better” on the armony question. Harmony implies that ithe dissentient factions should act together, and the shrewd idea occurred to Mr. Cornell to bring representatives of the two factions together to perfect the de- sired agreement. This was a brilliant stroke. Mr. Cornell sent his invitation for the second Saratoga conference indiffer- ently to Hayes men and Conkling men. Nothing could have been more logical than to bring them to together for mutual con- sultation if the Hayes men were sincere in their professed desire for harmony. But, in point of fact, none of the Hayes men accepted the invitation. They did not their parents’ doors have no financial standing |,,.4¢ to meet other republicans to consult or value whatever. One ov THE PounpKeEPers notifies us and. vor readers that a number of valuable-dogs are «m sale at the pound. The opportuuitysis a good one for those who believe that dogscare better watehers than policemen; besides the fact that a dog cannot club a man standiag quietly in front of his own house is an induce ment that is not to be despised. ‘Tue Ponp at the corner of Twenty-third stree cand First avenue, which a fortnight ago seemed to be contracting its limits, has suddenly en- jarged its borders, and assumed some of the peculiarities of an oil well. It is to.be hoped that the Street Cleaning Commission will ‘*work” it; for to get the oil out of a place of this kind diplies the removal of the dirty water. Tue Can Divers Strike being practically’ ‘at an end aconsideration of the results is in vrder. These seem, in brief, to consist of a re- duction of pay for the drivers, a great deal ot fuconvenience for thousands of people who owned no streetcar stock, and theediversion of lhandreds of policemen, paid by the-public, from t regular duty, The next timesa strike vc- ‘curs it would be well to arrange fortit so it may be of some use to somebody instead ofa nuisance to every one concerned, Tne Weatner.—The pressure is geverally above the mean throughout all the di@mricts ex- cept the Northern Missouri and Mississippi Val- leys. It is highest over the St. Lawwence Val fey and the New England States. Thespresa is falling rapidly in the SouthermGulf, indicat- ing the organization of a depression in that seo tion. The depression that was in the Middle Atlantic districts on Thursday has been entirely | sdissipated. Rain has fallen,on the Middle At- lantic and New England coast,.the Gulf districts and the Northwest, It has been heaviest in the latter district. ‘The winds have been gemerally* light throughout all the districts except<in the northern lake regions, where it bas been . from fresh to strong. Temperatures have fallen slightly in some sections of the Middle Atlauwtic and New England States. Elsewhere they hawe generally risen.

The invitation sent to them and their refusal to accept furnished ao glaring proof that their proffer of harmony and reconciliation was false and hollow. If they were willing to make concessions in the interest of party unity, what excuse ‘ould they have had for declining to meet and consult with the Conkling repub- licans? Mr. Cornell’s Saratoga conference was a brilliant stroke, because it so completely uncovered and exposed the position of the Hayes republicans. Had they meant the harmony which they pro- fessed-they would have been only too glad to meet.their fellow republicans in an ami- cablesconference for the adjustment of dif- ferences. ‘Che fact that after raising a loud demand for harmony they refused to meot for reconciliation fastened upon them the charge of insincerity. How can mutually estranged republicans over be brought into harmony if they disdainfully refuse to meet for friandly consultation ? It isqbsurd fonthe Hayes republicans to cavil at.the language of the call. It prop- erly omits topics on which republicans differ. A-Hayes organ insists that the call should have been addressed to supporters of the administration, This implies that only the supporters of the administration should be regarded as republicans. But no political fact is more patent than that a majority of republicans do not support the administration. If only those who approve the policy of President Hayes are to be recognized as republicans the party is too small and select to have any hope of carrying the State. The call of the Republican State Committee wisely ignores all points of difference, and leaves it to the Convention, when assembled, to con- struct an acceptable platform. It is too obvious that harmony cannot be secured by insisting on an indorsement of Hayes or on an indorsement of Conkling, but only by dropping out of view the sub- jects on which the party differs and putting forward those on which the party agrees. There is every prospect that the friends of Senator Conkling will “taking a rational interest in civil affairs. have a controlling majority in the State Convention, and that the platform they adopt will steer clear of all topics of party irritation. They will furnish no excuse for a bolt, and the Hayes republicans have pre- cluded themselves from attempting one by the public appeal for harmony which they put forth in their Saratoga conference. Mr, Conkling’s friends will treat them with studied respect and con- sideration, and if the republican party carries the State it will be found that Mr. Ccnkling has a large majority of the repub- licon members of the Legislature. His friends«are too wary and experienced to fur- nish any-excuse for a bolt when they are 50 confident that it is only necessary to keep the party together in order to insure his re- election. * Curdiagd McCloskey. One of Mr. Kelly's organs accuses us of want of proper respect for Cardinal McCloskey in expressing the opinion that Mr. William R. Grace is the preference of His Eminence for the Mayoralty. We are unable to see how it is a reflection on the Cardinal to suppose that he feels an in- terest in the,good government of the city. He is an old and one of the most eminent citizens of New York,, and there is no good reason why he or any other Catholic should be indifferent to municipal affairs. The Hzmaup has never countenanced the Know Nothingism which denies to members of ‘that communion their proportionate voice in the politics of the ‘country. We know of no good reason why the Cardinal should be held blamable for preferring Mr. Grace for Mayor. From all we. learn of this gentleman he is an estima- ble gitizen, and, being the only prominent Catholic who. has been named in this can- nection, his co-religionists are entitled to prefer him to any candidate who has not superior personal qualifications, We have yet to learn that the dignitaries of the Catholic Church are precluded from Is the Holy See indifferent to the government of Italy, or even to that of Germany? Does @ man cease to be a patriot and a citizen when he is elevated to a high position in the Church? Did not Archbishop Hughes engage in a political controversy with Hon. Erastus Brooks when the latter was a lead- ing apostle of proscriptive Know Noth- ingism? We cannot perceive why it is not the right and even the duty of Cardinal McCloskey to exert such influence as may be compatible with his sacred functions in favor of justice and fair play to the Catholic institutions of charity established in this city which are nurtured by. his care. For aught we can see it is as legitimate for him to prefer Mr. Grace for Mayor—if, as we believe, Mr. Grace isa faithful and competent man—as it was for the Methodist bishops to prefer Mr. Hayes, a citizen of their own communion, for the Presidency. Most certainly no clergyman of any rank should descend to political intrigues; but the idea that a man has no interest in good government because he is a Catholic or a priest or a bishop or even a cardinal savors too much of the old, leaven of the Know Nothings, Mr. Grace being the excellent citizen that he.is we cannot see that His. Eminence is compro- mised by thinking that he would make a satisfactory Mayor. Lord Du: in on His Successor. The Earl of Dufferin, late Governor Gen- eral of the Dominion of Canada, and a per- fect representative of the class of states- men in whose hands the true interests of his country are safest, made yesterday what seems to us the ablest and happiest speech that ever fell from his lips. The occasion was that of the joint address of the Ontario principalities upon his departure from the viceregal chair, and the Earl’s reply was of the nature of an introduction of his successor, the Marquis of Lorne. The address was most intelligently loyal, as was to be expected from a man whose nature and training combine to make him ‘patriotic in the highest sense, and the applause which it elicited showed that the breadth of the Atlantic is insufficient to weaken the attach- ment of the Canadian heart to the mother country. Canadians, and all of their sensible neighbors south of the St. Lawrence and the lakes, will take great satisfaction from Lord Dufferin’s earnest indorsement of the young nobleman who is to rule Canada. Men of the late Governor's experience are not likely to be favorably disposed toward rising statesmen without good cause, so the words which were spoken at Ottawa yesterday will increase the fervor of the welcome which already awaited the Marquis of Lorne as a scion of a noble house and the husband of a daughter of the Queen. But the sentiments of good will and loyalty were further strengthened by the Earl's remarks upon the Princess Louise, who, according to the speaker, will rule by a power which is none the less effective because independent of constitu- tional and legal precedent. Cleaner Streets, The Street Cleaning Commission still re- mains partially awake. ‘The west side of the city has in some places been so improved that a careful observer can see the pave- ments, which for a long time have been about as invisible as Mr. Kelly’s candidate for the Mayoralty. On the east side there has been considerable change for the better in streets most largely travelled, but the reverse is the case with those in which the greatest number of people live, Bleecker street, which horse cars and other vehicles have turned into a favorite crosstown thor- oughfare, and consequently a street which many people traverse and many influences combine to make dirty, does not receive the attention that it demands. For such im- provement as has been effected the public returns hearty thanks, but no amount of gratitude will blind any one to the neces- sity of such additional exertion as shall make all streets alike in point of cleanli- ness and inoffenfiveness, A certain amount of work is not all that any particular street requires—actual cleanliness is what is paid for, and the Commission should see to it that it is attained, even if an extra ty” 3 two of dirt carts are necessary, | 7, 1878—WITH SUPPLEMENT. the aspirations of the progressive citizen, and we have a state of affairs that is un- equalled in any history which is indepen- dent of fairy tales and other myths.

Although Mr. Bonner declines to bea can- didate the discussion of his qualifications has had an excellent effect. It has impressed the people of the city with a correct idea of the type of man they need at the head of the municipal government—a man of dash, energy and capacity who, in an emergency, would cut himself free from red tape. The people do not want for Mayor one of your solid and heavy men of the Dombey pat- tern—a man great on deportment but de- ficient in “go.” The people do not want what Mr. Tilden used to call a “‘painted respectability,” but a ready, vigorous man who has a knack of flanking difficulties and accomplishing results. Public opinion having been for some time tixed on Mr. Bonner as the beau ideal of an accoin- plished Mayor it will not be satisfied with a pompous Mr. Dombey or a mere political stick or machine candidate. ‘ agitator has no ideas that are worth follow- ing, came to the orator himself, trom the hats in which collections were taken, but as, doubtless through oversight, the collectors were not provided with bell-punches, itis not improbable that some of the pecuniary issues were not pooled, and that a sneak- ing hankering after capital was in- dulged in directly under the nose of the prophet of the labor dispensa- tion. But neither profits nor losses were such as could do the honest workingman any good, and a thoughtful contemplation of them will cause many a laborer and me- chanic to pray for deliverance from any more ‘‘friends,”, who talk for themselves in- stead of him.

B., on the 15th of September, 1870. Montreal guaran- tees six thousand dollars to the winner, while the stakes of two thousand five hun- dred dollars a side will roll the amount up to eleven thousand dollars, by far the largest money prize ever rowed for. This will take Hanlan to water with which he is already familiar, while Courtney is a stranger to it, and as it is river water, and must be affected by the current, it is almost certainly not so fair a course as the Owasco one, nor so valuable for making time. But there is one most significant fact in the despatch, and which, if these two oarsmen do not look out, may work them no small harm. ‘The race will not be for the cham- pionship.” There has been far too much hippodroming in all our more popular sports already. These two men have the reputation of being fair, and, whatever they may think, neither of them can afford to lose that reputation now. This first meeting between them has been long de- layed, and the public appetite has been whetted to expect a great contest, finer per- haps than any other ever seen on this conti- nent. Ifthis race is not to be for the cham- pionship, then why not? Is either man not going to be athis best? Ifso, and he knows it now, then there ought to be no race. The straightforward, marily way is to have one contest on absolutely fair water and cach man take his chances, not a series of them, one here and another there, over the coun- try, under constantly changing conditions. This one meeting will be the only one for which the public will care much, and if there is to be anything underhand about it they will not care’ much for it.
