It was made for the specitic purpose of supporting the “old ticket,” of Tilden and Hendricks, and to that extent it is a success, Tie Chicago Herald finds considerable fault with the ministers and the Women's Christian Temperancs Union for praying for the republican national convention and the candidate to be nominated, near- ly all of them taking it for granted that he is to be elected. In all of these addresses to the throne of grace no men- tion was made of the democratic party. The IHerald claims that this is mani- festly unfair, uncharitable and irreligi- ous, and concludes its protest as fol- lows: It may be said that the democratic con- vention does not meet until July, and that it is too early to begin praying for it, but this excuse will not answer. It is never too early to begin prayivg for the democratic party. Who ever heard a minister of the gos- pol pray for the democrats? Who ever heird a preacher ask divine guidance for them, wisdom for their councils, or conr. ago add grace for their leaders? Is the party deemed incorrigible by the breth- ren, or do they pray as they votc! The democrats may be in need of prayer, but they do not need it as much as thoy do votes. They would be willing to trade off a good sized prayer for a vote, as prayors are easier made than ballote, oounty. fierce political antagonisms between party chiefs, which rendered the Chicago con vention of 1880 o memorable, and whose unfortunate bitterncesen cast a shadow over the country less than a year later, will not be repeated in the present Tie controversy as to ti¢ authorship [gathering.

Mr. Arthur's can- vass has been based not upon promis of what is to come but upon an appeal to what theadministration has sccomplished, a dark horse inthe presidential race. No better dark horse for such a race can be found anywhore, and the people of the west would like to see him come to the front, if dark horces are to have any show this tim Tuexe has been a great deal of talk to the effcct that the only republican who can carry the Pacific coast in the next presidential election is James G. Blaine and that, therefore, he ought to be nomi- nated by all means. The idea that no other republican leader can carry tho Pacific coast is an erroneous one. The republicans of that coast stand ready to give their solid support to the choice of the national convention, whoever he may be. The San Francisco Chronicle, which is a strong Blaine paper, and is urging his nomination on tha grounds of his superior claims to the honor, and his ability to intuse enthusinsm into the party wherever It is needed, says : The state of California may be counted on for the republicans at the coming election with as much confidence as Vermont or lowa, whether the name of Blaine, or Arthur, or Edmunds, or Logan, or Sher- man, or Lincoln heads the ticket. Local causes have disrupted the democracy and torn it to tatters here. It has been tried and_found wanting, both in honesty and ability. Itis an army with many generals, all incapabls and pulling apart. —— Samver J. Tilden, who has one foot in the grave, ought to make the same ar- rangement with his family physician that William King, a rich old London mer- chant, made with his physician. He willed 81,000 to his physician, with the proviso that the sum should be doubled overy year that the testator should be| kept alive, The second year the sum be- came $2,000, the third year, 84,000; the fourth, $8,000; the fiftn, $16,000; the sixth, $32,000; the seventh, $64,000; the eighth, $128,000; the ninth, $256,000; the tenth, $512,000. Upon the death of Mr. King a fow weeks ago, the physician was paid $750,(00, between ten and eleven years having passed since the agreement, Tue term *‘‘vigilance committee” may be objectionablo to some persons, as a vigilance committee is generally organiz ed to hang somo one that needs hanging Wo therefore amend our suggestion by calling the proposed committe a*‘citizens” committee of law and order.” Let such a oommittee be organized for the purpose of effecting certain nesded reforms in this city. Such a committee could do somo very effective work by rounding up the orooks, bruisers and outlaws gener- ally, and compellimg them to leave the city. Tt might succeod in this way in putting a stop to the numerous robbsries and burglaries, It might also induce the police duty to be a little more vigilant and active in the performance of their du- ties. It might also induce Mayor Chase, to appoint » new marshal, and then ro sign from his office, A “citizon's com mittee of law aund order,” meaning bus iness, could easily accomplish all this. — Tuk two leading candidates at the opening of the uational republican con- vention will bs Arthur and Blaine, and the friends of both claim that their candi- date will be nominated on the third bal- T foundation for the pedestal and |That appeal to the records has received statue of Liberty in New York harbor is | recognition in every republican conven- completed. 1t stands on Bedloe's island | tion which has met to nominate delegates and is 91 feet square at the bottom and | to the coming convention, No final de- risos 62 foot above the surface, Upon | cision as to the ar ilability of competing $his the podestal will rise to a height of |candidates can reverse the verdiot 80 117 foot, while the statue itself 'is 157 | freely and unanimously given, & verdict feot high, making the total height from | which is to-day cheerfully endorsed by the low water 332 feet. * K'rom the top of the | mass of the republican party throughout statue the view will be superb, and eleva- | the country, tors will run up through pedestal aud statue, The chief engineering difficulty—| T democratio papers of the state are after gotting money enough for the work |shedding animmense quantity of inkin an —is to devise means for preventing the |eflort to prove that the late state conven statue from Boing blown over by the |tion was for and against free trade.
