Of course soreheads; we suppose there always are and there always must be, It has been the good fortune of Tue Jupce from time to time to watch a group of children at their play. He has never seen a game proposed—be it tag, puss in the corner, or what you will—but some child in the party would at once and vigorously oppose it. When a majority of the playground decides with alacrity to em- brace the new pastime, the malcontent youngster turns away with lowering brow and pouting lips, and the crushing sentence, “Very well, I wont play.” Sometimes he sticks to his word and sulks miserably ina corner for the remainder of the day. Some- times he repents and joins in; but, in either case, Tne JupGE has observed the game goes on very pleasantly without reference to him. The so-called ‘‘Independents” were the sulky child at the great game of the Chicago Convention. They wanted their own way, and, being unable to get it, went off and sulked like a lot of big babies. Arthur, Hawley, and others wanted their own way too; but they did not go off to sulk when they found they could not get it. They cheerfully fell in with the plans of the ma- jority. cond there are | These “ Independents” tire ke Tue Jupee Their conduct almost forbids the ussumption that they are grown up, bearded men. They are more like spoiled children or semi-imbecile old women. They are making a virtue of necessity, however, and are coming into the fold by degrees. They have found that the name of James G. Blaine has wakened an echo through the length and breadth of the land. ‘They have heard the shouts of acclaim with which his nomination has been greeted—the most popular nomination in many a year— and they hear them yet. ‘They have realized that th ec independent only in the sense that James G.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. | Wires all is said and done, it must be ad- mitted that the Republican ticket this year is an almost ideal one. In the first place, it balances the two great sections of the coun- | try—the East and West—and satisfies those | patriots who are swayed by mere considera- tions of longtitude and latitude, But fai more important than this question of lu is the personnel of the ticket. In Gen. Logan we bave a distinguished soldier, popu- lar and admired at home and abroad; a man whose sword has done his country trae and | valiant service in the field, as his keen saga- city and subtle wit have done her honor in the council chamber. And then we have James G. Blaine, for President; a man whose figure has towered head and shoulders above contemporary statesmen for years; a man whose command- ing intellect has compelled the respect of his foes us his high personal qualities have riv- eted the affection of his friends. Lis nomination was received with the most rapturous and thundering applause, and | of Republican party is | | Britain. re so | ality | when heated cannons and parched throats refused to testify longer to the popular exultation, there went up # sigh of relief from the whole bri land. The convention was over, and there was no Dark Iorse—no picayune politician to be foisted upon the people; no unknown knight on the Republi- can side, at least, was to tilt for the great prize of the Pre No; for once the foremost man in the nation had been nomin- ated for the foremost honor in the gift of the people. No wonder the ticket excited | enthusiasm; no wonder Republican America | went almost wild with joy. Blaine’s nomination was a triumph even greater than will be the more substantial triumph of his election, In the convention was arrayed in vain, every possible combination rayed | The ery against him, and his aything to beat Blaine,” and nothing was found to ti Every device enemies was him. actic that desperation, mated with unserupulousness, could produc was btought into play, and brought in v The nomination of James G.

THOSE DYNAMITE BOMBS. Tue ent that the United Sta Inglish press is very loud and insist- es should do some- thing to prevent or control the manufacture of dynamite and its exp In view of the recent serious shak- ing up London has received from dynamite or some kindred explosive, it is not to be rtation to Great wondered at that our transatlantic cousins feel uneasy on the subject; but in reality it does not seem to be by any means an estab- lished fact that the dynamite in question or any dynamite has been manufactured in or The weight of evidence appears to point to France as the producing centre. The public and the press of New York, with on brought from this country, » Voice, unite in con- mning these outrages as useless, cruel and devilish. There is no sympathy on this side of the water for secret assination and wanton destruction of property. Even such of our people information, consider [reland as an oppressed and misgoverned country, are sensible enough to see that such attempts as the recent ex- plosions in London can lead to no good end, atid must infallibly result in putting a stop to the concessions which the English gov- ernment has been granting and in inflaming the English mind against Ireland and every- thing that is Irish. With more justice, England finds fault with the impunity with which O'Donovan Rossa is suffered in this country to preach a dynamite crusade against England. Perhaps | England, when she makes that complaint, | is not aware what an utter nonentity this Rossa is regarded as here; how he is ridi- culed, laughed ut, and only encouraged as a 8, through ignorance or false comicbooks.com
