TIIE RETURNING HOSTS Led ty Leeds They Storm tiie Town. TIIE IRISH MEETINGS. Mr. Bifgar Sort Tliat There Is Xo Danger of Riots at Newry To Day. every home ot intelligence, and the independent thinker and voter in every circle of every party, revolution is the irresistible logic of present political events, and tho signs of the times are strangely deceptive if the new occasion do not give birth to new duties, new parties and new achievements.

A. K. M. REPUBLICAN PERIL Party Disorganization Made Inevitable by Blaine's Success. Wherever Mr.

Blaine can oust the British from the position they hold on the American continent be will endeavor to replace English influence and trade by American. His menacing intimation that be would disregard the Clayton Bulwer treaty Is an evil ausury for the future relations of England and America. His intervention In Peru was most ominous when he declared that he disliked Englaud to win commercial triumphs in fields which legitimately belong to America. England will watch with extreme solicitude tho progress of the electoral campaign." RATIFYING TIIK NOMINATIONS. lack of leadership Preventing Them from Ousting the Liberal Ministry.

London, June 7, It is very apparent that the present English Government is rapidly weakening In its attitude upon the Egyptian question. It is even evident that the Ministry is now seeking some honorable line of retreat from its recent positive declaration in favor of exclusive control. This state of affairs is attributed to the aggressive attitude of France, which means to Insist in tho coming conference upon a Joint control. Italy will back up France and by the time the conference assembles it is believed that England will be fully prepared to accede gracefully to the claims of its partners In Egypt. It cannot be denied that the government's weakness in this respect is intensifying the contempt in which the Ministry has long been held by the Tories and Conservatives.

But tiie opposition Is practically powerless, because It has no good leuders. The splendid organization and leadership of the Liberals enable the government to hold its own in domestic affairs and to retain a sentimental popular respect, which Is skilfully used lo blind the people to the weakness of the Ministry's lorelgn policy. If the Conservatives had a single good leader capable of forcible expression and able to organize and lead debate in the House of Commons the government could be easily mado so unpopular as lo be thrown out ol power on questions of foreign policy alone. But fiie weakness of disunion among the Tories increases daily. Tiie recent speeches of Lord Salisbury, the leader of the Tory Peers, have injured rather than helped his party.

The Tories arc now praying for ail oracle, such as Paliner Kton, but their prayers seem to be those of despair. OJf TO KOAKTOUM, A Denial That tho Proposed Expedition of Relief Has Been Abandoned. Londos, June 7. The report which has been gaining currency the past few days I hat the preparation for a military expedition to Khartoum hud ceased has been semi oflleially denied. It is asserted that active eirorts continue to be made to get everything In readiness.

The expedition, it is said, will be en route by thefflth of July. A committee composed of Major General Fielding, ljuartermaster General Harrison, Col onel Hamilton and Commissary General Young has been ordered to meet at Aldcrshot to report upon schemes for providing a water supply for tliearmy while operating in the deserls. Orders havo been sent to Cairo to echelon tho whole Egyptian army under General Sir Evelyn Wood between Assouan and Wadyhalfa. Late bills drawn by General Gordon on the government have reached Cairo, but no letters. It Is suspected that Ihe letters, which must in all probability have been dlsputohed.

have been Intercepted. England Uneasy About Russian Intrigue. London, June 7. Much uneasiness has been caused among government officials In London by the latest Imperial utterance from St. Petersburg.

This is attributed to a growing belief in llussia that England is gradually retiring from Its former policy ot Empire extension. Russia has formally announced that it has decided to abandon its recent intention of evacuating Central Asia and has proclaimed adetermi nalion to extend its Asiatic frontiers. This announcement contains for Eneland a stinging threat, being coupled with the declaration that Bussia believes It will be betler for England to confine her energies in the East in the future within the natural boundaries of India. Tho Czar's advisers go to great pains lo assert that Russia has no designs on India, but it is Impossible for Englishmen to believe that Russian statesmen are not engaged iu constant intrigues in that direction. Tlio English people, however, seem to be apathetic concerning any designs Russia may have and the present English Government seems too absorbed in Ihe troublesome Egyptian question to properly meet the new issue.

Plunger Walton's Assailant Insane. London, June 7. Bernard Loftier, the German American horse dentist, who recently horsewhipped Plunger Walton, because the latter slapped his face for spoiling Glroflo while under dental treatment, has been adjudged insane. Loftier, the gossips say, was used as an Instrument by an anil Walton ringof turfmen, headed, It is said, by Sir John AslleV. He hasever.siai tijjiit With the Plunger, been hotly persecuted, it Is alleged, by Walton's friends.

It was ascertained that the horse doctor's relations were very unhappy. His home troubles were greatly aggravated by his turf troubles. In a fit of rage the other day he threatened to murder his whole family and commit suicide. His enemies, learning of this, had him arrested and taken before a Police Magistrate at Lambeth. The Justice has adjudged Ihe unfortunate man insane and ordered him to be committed lo au asylum.

Sir John Astley, who has taken a great interest In the case, has started a subscription for the benefit of the luuutio's family, heading the subscription with a largo sum himself and being followed with a liberal donation by the Committing Magistrate.

Five Commissioners of the Spanish Government Considering the Situation. Havana, Jnne 7. The five commissioners nominated at Madrid by Mr. Cos Gayon, Minister of Elnance, and Mr. Tejada de Valdosera, Minister of the Colonies, have arrived here.

They naturally have not stated what is the real object of their mission, but it is no secret to anyone in Havana. It is known that the Madrid Government sent tnese commissioners In haste as soon as they received official notice of the resignation of Captain General Castillo, in which he drew a vivid but disquieting picture of the financial and political situation of this island. Ho added in that notification that his age and his shattered health would not permit him to entertain the hope of successfully coping with a condition of affairs which was desperate lrom every point of view. The five commissioners are directed to inquire into and to report promptly to the Cabinet at Madrid as to whether it is expedient to accept the resignation of the Captain General and whether it is prudent lo reduce the regular volunteer corps of Cuba In order to reduce to 28,000,000 pesos the budget lor the expenses of the island, as it is desired to do in Madrid; and, further, if the volunteers refuse lo submit to any reduction in their force to report what is the minimum amount for which Cuba could he ceded to the United States. The commission of five is also charged secretly by the suspicious government of Madrid to discover whether It is true that Aguero was summoned hither (as it is considered remarkable that ho had been able to land so easily) by the principal chiefs of the peninsular party, who wanted to have it believed that a serious insurrection was in progress in order to prevent the government at Madrid from diminishing the budget of the island upon which these politicians live; they arc therefore naturally opposed to any reduction of expenses and to annexation to the United States.

Two of these five commissioners did not hesitate to declare, five days alter they landed and had begun to study the general situation, Hint if this had been Ihe plan ol these functionaries and peninsular politicians, they had been caught in their own net, as the revolt begun by Aguero has extended so seriously that its direction has passed into the hands of the revolutionary chiefs, who havo little disposition, even if Aguero wished it, to receive money to stop tlio light and lo return to the United States. Up to this time ouly one of the commissioners has talked at nil and he only to a few of his friends. He said hat a longer possession of Cuba by Spain would be ruinous to the latter und that It would be better to sell the Island and that (hat would be the only way out of the complicated situation. It is not known whether the report which Is to be sent to Madrid by the commission must have the signature of each of Ihe five commissioners or whether each one will be allowed separately to present his views. CHARLES FEN NO HOFFMAN.

Death of a Famous Poet aud Writer of the Last Generation. A modest announcement of the death at Harrisburg yesterday of Charles Fonno Hoffman recalls a name that once held a conspicuous place in American literature aud which is still held in high regard by reading people, though the man who bore it had longsince passed from thescenes of aclive life. The career of Charles Fenno Hoffman really dates back quite half a century. He was one of the well known New York family, a son of Judge Josiah 0. Holt man and a brother of Ogden llolfman, and was born In New York city in 180J.

He was graduated at Columbia College and admitted to the bar at twenty one, but literature hud more attractions for him than the law and in 183J he established the Knickerbocker Magazine, which afterward became so famous, lie relinquished the Knickerbocker after a few months to Flint and took charge of the American Monthly tine, which had been established by Henry William Herbert. Of this ho was chief editor for many years, also editing at the same time Ihe New York Mirror. In 1S35 lie published "A Winter in the West," a scries of sketches of nature and of men that had much to commend them. This book was followed by Wild Scenes in Forest and Prairie," llrst published In London, and by Greyslaer," a romance founded on tha trial of Reauchump for the murder of Colonel Sharper, of Kentucky, that met with great success. It is by bis poems, liowevcr, that Holt'man is best remembered, aud the several volumes, "The Vigil of Faith," "Lays of the Hudson," "Love's Calendar," are prized by collectors 'of American books.

He had a natural feeling for the poetry of American landscape and had cultivated the refined and gruceftil stylo of the Kniclceruo er school. In purely lyric poetry he was more successful than any of iiis compeers, though his manner was a little too close to that of Tom Moore to escape I lie charge of Imitation. Such songs us "Rosalie Clare," Hard to Share Her Smiles Hi Many," "Sparkling and Bright" and "The Myrtle and Steel have not yet tost all their popularity and it is snd to think that the mind which cuve the world these bright and graceiul lyrics has bceu for many years bereft of light. SNATCHING FOR SPECIE. An Attempt to ltob the Receiver of the People's Passenger Railway.

A desperate attempt at highway robbery was made shortly before eleven o'clock last night on Mr. Capst, receiver of the People's Passenger Railway Company, and a watchman named James St. Clair, who accompanied him. They hnd left the Callowhill street branch olttce, near the Callowhill street bridge, a few minutes before the attack was made and wore on the way to tho main olllce In the depot, at the corner of Fuirmount avenue nnd Twenty fourth street, with a portion of the day's receipts. Tho money was in the shape of silver and coins of a small denomination and wus carried by the watchman In a bag.

The amount Is estimated at about $JU0. When the men reached the corner of Twenty fourth and Blddle streets two men sprang on them from tlio shadow ol a doorway. The watchman was grasped by the throat and before he could make an outcry the footpad rubbed a handful of red pepper In his eyes und then attempted to wrench the bag of money from his hands. The watchman Is a powerful man and succeeded In retaining a bold on ills treasure. In the meantime the receiver had been grabbed by the other highwayman and also treuted to a dose of red fiepper.

Tiie two men culled for help during tiie rief struggle and their assailants relinquished their purpose and escaped In tho darkness. The watchman was slightly Injured about the body and may lose his eyesight. The Courtney Ross Race a Fizzle. Special Dispatch to Thk Tim ks. New York, June 7.

The much talked of race between Courtney and Ross was not rowed to day. The great Hunker flunked, as usual, and when the hour for the race came, although the course was smooth as a mill pond, was notou hand to row. Ross rowed over the course aud got the Tho JoOO were to go to the loser.but under the circumstances Mr. Courtney does not get this. Courtney In an Interview to night says there was no nut up; that tho public was deceived; that Pllklngton's plnn was to havo the race rowed and Ross take one third, Courtney one third and Pllkinglon and Wegel one third.

In short, that It was a hippodrome throughout. Courtney snys that the It was announced by General Manager Tugh, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, that the new line to Chestnut Hill will boopened for business on Wednesday morning. Tlio schedule of trains has not been arranged as yet. that the reason lie did nut row to day was be causo Pllkinglon would not give III his share of the receipts on Decoration Day, which, he says, wore very large. Courtney says lie has 91,000 to bet that itoss cannot beat til in.

Courtney is set down by all the sporting men as living up' lo his record, which, they say, Is beneath contempt. Assaulted on a Ferryboat. An exciting eno took place last evening on the ferry bout' 'hlch mot the train at the Federal street depot, Camden. Joseph C. Randall, of Morchantvllle, was smoking at the end of the boat when John Bird, of Woodbury, approached and ordered him to smoke at the rear end of tho boat, Mr.

Randall said he would smoke where he pleased, as he was not Infringing the laws of the company. Bird then lifted a silver bended cutie, which he carried, and struck Randall a powerful blow over Ihe head, knocking htm down und stunning him. Tho whole affair was so sudden Unit Bird was not arrested and made his escape ou the outgoing train. A warrant for bis arrest was Issued last night by Justice Cassady and Constable Franks will arrest hi in to day. The Municipal Ilattle Iu Wilmington.

It was a Blaine night and tho gallant and white tiled Philadelphia contingent of Arthur delegates, fresh from the Chicago battle field and flushed with the victory they so tardily precipitated, marched through the streets amidst the ovations of ten thousand yelling people and the thunders of a dozen rival bands. Long before eight o'clock the streets on the line of parade were crowded aud from hundreds of windows on Chestnut and Broad streets myriads of flags fluttered their welcome to the home coming veterans. The train that carried the Philadelphia delegation rolled into tho Broad Street Station at twenty eight minutes after seven. Eight o'clock was the time at which it was expected.

CHAIRMAN LEEDS' FANTASIA. As the train came to a stop Chairman Leeds sprang from tho forward car and turning toward Johnny Hill, Hamilton Uisston, Colonel Snowden and Edward Levy, who followed at his heels, whistled abarof "Home Again," with, variations. The strain was interrupted by tho flood of delegates and others who poured out of the train aud crowded the platform, and then, the Philadelphia delegation, glorious in white hats and whiter ties, formed a straggling file and, preceded by McClurg's Band, marched through the iron gates and into the waiting room of the station. At Broad and Filbert streets, opposito tho Masonic Temple, the line was formiug. Marshal Kerns was in command.

Major Ryan engineered the line. When eight o'clock came the line was in position. Five minutes before that time the second section of the Chicago train arrived with the M. S. Quay Club and with braying bauds and flying banners tho colored heroes of tho Eepublican national struggle marched down the broad stairway and into the crowded street.

A colored club from the Fourteenth ward met them and they disappeared. Twenty minutes later the M. S. Quay Club and its enthusiastic escort marched down Chestnut street, amid the plaudits of hosts of colored admirers, who lined the sidewalks and followed tho club with pertinacity. A marvelously decorated transparency informed the crowds that The Citizens or Philadelphia ei.oo mk Home The m.

s. Quay club. And another banner promised for the man of Maine a majority of 50,000 in Philadelphia, despite tho opposition of the Arthur booming Quay. The colored club was greeted with cheers and after leaving Chestnut street hurried southward to receive the admiration ol the Lombard street citizens. THE MARCH OF TIIE HEROES.

The main line started shortly after 8 o'clock. The returning delegates, received by Marshal Kerns and his aids, inarched into Merrick street and fell into tho Hue of march. Preceding the delegation were tho Eepublican Invin cibles, Cameron Club, Pennsylvania Club, United Kepublican Club, Young Eepublican Club and the Union Republican Contingent. Following came the Twenty fifth Ward Union Ee nublican Association, the Continental Club, tbe Twenty ninth Ward Republican Club and tha Twenty ninth Ward Tariff Association. Tbe line wheeled into Broad street amid a magnificent burst of pyrotechnics.

The windows of tho Uuited Republican Association, which were, crowded with yclliug politicians, blazed with light aud bursting rockets scattered a rain of fire on the heads of the mob in tho street and on the sidewalk. Suddenly a ball of fire fell upon the big awning of Steel's restaurant aud iu a moment the flimsy canvas was in flames. A scene of intense exciletneut followed. Cries of "tire," "lire," resounded ou all sides und for a moment the safety of the building seemed imperiled. It was ouly for a moment.

Tiie blazing canvas was pulled from its fastenings and dropping on the pavement tho lire burned itself out without further damage. Thou the line wonton, marching down Broad to South and back again to Chestnut. UONOE FROM DEMOCRATS. The Americus Club, adjoining the United Ee publicans, was gracefully decorated with flags aud the appearance of the Philadelphia delegation was the signal for repeated cheering from the scoro of Democrats who filled tho windows of tho big building. The courtesy was acknowledged by wild cliceriug from tho ranks.

Tho Union Eepublican Club was splendidly illuminated and showers of red fire brilliantly lighted the street for a squaro away. As club after club appeared thoy were greeted with cheers from tho crowd that filled tho club rooms, but the greatest ovation was reserved for the delegation. "There goes the Sheriff," sonic one yelled, as the delegation passed the club house. Chairman Leeds was marching at tbe head of tho delegation. Ho looked up.

Hurrah he responded, waving his arms, and tho band, catching the enthusiasm, thundered tho familiar strains of Willie, Wo Have Missed You." 8CESK9 ON TIIK STREETS. From Broad street to Sixth the line was besot by a mob that threatened to engulf it and the clubs made their way through the masses of people with dillieitlty. Most of the business houses along the street were tastefully decorated and the display of fireworks, despite the Mayor's proclamation, was remarkably brilliant. It was 10 o'clock when the lino reached Eleventh aud Chestnut again. Then the clubs scattered and the weary delogatos hurried into tho Union Club rooms and fell into tho arms of their admiring friends.

Tho Protective Tariff Club, of tho Twenty ninth ward, distributed on the route of parade circulars introducing the organization to the public as the first club organized in Philadelphia for the Presidential campaign of 1881." Its president is William L. Elkins and its directors embrace nearly a hundred well known business men. Tho club attracted considerable attention and tlio "Protective Tariff" bauner they flourished was greeted with frequent applause Soino of the "I always was for Blaine" men who assisted Marshal Kerus to mameuvro the line last night wore: Charles S.

The Edmunds Independents Very Much Disgusted Opinions from All Sides Special Dispatch to The Tivks. Chicago, June 7.

One thing conspicuously left over to day and felt by convention people still remaining in town is the matual disgust of the Arthur and Edmunds people. It was the failure of these two factions to combine, and not because Blaine had the convention, that mado Blaine's nomination possible. If at any time these forces, with others opposed to Blaine, had been enabled to unite on a candidate as they had united on other matters, Blaine wonld have had no chance whatever for the nomination. This was very early seen, but the Edmunds mon would not go to Arthur aud the latter's friends would not go to Edmunds. The Arthur people submitted the name of Gresham, but Senator Hoar was foremost in opposing him.

Do what they would, tho Arthur men could not win over the Edmunds men to the Postmaster General. Then the Edmunds managers submitted the name of Hawlcy as a man upon whom a combination could be formed. But as the Edmunds men would not go to Gresham the Arthur men would not go to Hawlcy, and then all hopes of a compromise ended. The Arthur followers are denouncing the Edmunds men aud the Edmunds men are swearing at tho Arthur men and both are thoroughly dissatisfied. TALK OP A THIRD TICKET.

The fiercest rebellion, however, is on the part of the Edmunds independents. Carl Schurz, as ho was leaving his hotol in a carriago this morning, said the ticket is an unfortunate one and he did not seo how it was going to bo elected. Self respecting Republicans could hardly give it a cordial support. Georgo William Curtis has said that ho could uot support the ticket. The open expressions of opinions on the part of many of the Massachusetts people and the attitudo of many Republican papers havo alarmed tho thick and thin members of tho party.

It is now believed that tho announcement made by Blaine's friends and for ten days used here that it is about time to havo a candidate who can get along without New York is a mistake. The general belief is that Blaine will havo to bo elected, if at all, without New York. A rumor was going the rounds this morning that the Independent Republicans, dissatisfied with the nomination of Blaine and feeling that his election would be a real detriment to the conntry, had decided to call a convention to put iu tho field an rMinunds Lincoln ticket. It was found that while no such movement had taken definite shape, tho question had been raised as to whether such a thing would be advisable. ROOSEVELT HASN'T HEARD OF IT.

Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, was seen just as he was leaving to take a train for Dakota. When asked about it ho said: "I know of no such movement. It is true that I have been approached, just as you have come to me, and asked if we were going to try and place Edmunds and Lincoln in the field. My reply has been, and is now, that no such proposition has been discussed among us." That Mr. Roosevelt would support such a ticket is certain, for he has distinctly said that he could under no consideration support Mr.

Blaine. David Allerton, of New York, was sought out. Said he: "if such a plan was on foot I should have heard of it. I am positive that the rumor is untrue. The movement would hardly originate bore just now.

On Saturday next we have a meeting of the New York Independents in that city aud nothing will be done until then. Personally, I am too good a Republican to not support Mr. Blaino. I am disappointed, but will roll up my sleeves and go to work for the ticket nominated." AN EDMUNDS LOGAN COMBINATION. Franklin MacVcagh, of this city, a cousin of Ex Attorney General MacVeagh, said "There has been uo formal or informal talk about the matter.

I circulated among tho Independents last night, and it is true that an Edmunds I.incoln combination was mentioned, but it did not assume definite shape and was only alluded to as a mere possibility, hardly that even. I am too good a Republican," ho said, "to over work for or vote for Mr. Blaine. Ho does not represent tho best sentiment of the party. I have always been au earnest, faithful Republican.

To me the convention did a fearful thing. Carried away by an enthusiasm which it "was impossible to check, the delegates lost all sight of the moral aspect of their nomination. It is my opinion that the best way to teach lie politicians that the party is losing rapidly all moral sense of right is for tho independents to vote for the Democratic nominee. That wonld bo a shorter way than to havo another ticket iu tho field to administer the rebuke." SOME DOUBTFUL STATES. Several of tho Massachusetts delegates expressed a doubt of Blaiuc's ability to carry that State should tho Democrats nominate a man in whom the people could have confidence.

Andrew S. Draper, of New York, rather doubted whethor Blaiue and Logan could carry New York. He said that tho Gorman vote would bo the most difficult to secure. New Jorsey, he said, would go Democratic. It was useless for tho Republicans to hope to get it, because it was a Democratic State.

Martin I. Townsend, on the other hand, said that the New York Republicans were not stilkcrs. They would cordially support the nominees and elect them. Morris McDonald, of Indiana, said that Indiana would be carried by Blaino and Logan. Ho had in his pocket a telegram which ho received from Judge Gresham ou Thursday, saying: "Positively I would not accept the place." He thought that Judgo Gresham would accept tho Circuit Judgeship, now held by Judge Drunimond, and bo well provided for for life.

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll did not seem to be enthusiastic over the selections. He said they were very good; that ho had had no ticket, and that people said Blaino and Logan could be elected. Chris Magcc does not think the trouble will bo with tho regulars. They will support tho ticket.

The only kickers he has heard about aro tho Independents, who allowed Blaino to bo nominated. A BLAINE LEADER OPINION. Stephen B. Elkins was, of course, very happy. Why," said he, the other side had no leaders and they couldn't agree.

The Edmunds men could havo settled tho nomination had they Wo had all the votes wo had calculated on. Wo did not deviato from our calculations on tho first ballot two votes. Wo figured on Xi and wo had 33 15. That settled it beyond all question, although wo knew very well what the result would be." Mr. Elkins said the ticket would sweep tho country liko a whirlwind and that tho Republicans would with it socuro if not tho control of Congress at least many Congressional districts which aro now Democratic.

Senator Loe. of Pennsylvania, says Thero is no doubt of the election of Blaino and ho will make a great President." Tho new Republican committeo held a short meeting this morning.

THE INDEPENDENT REVOLT Keview of the field from Chicago After the Convention.

Special Dispatch from the Editor ol The Times. Chicago, June 7. The great battle fiold of Chicago is void of Victors or vanquished this morning. The deafening huzzas of the victorious legions of Blaiue and Logan have died out and the muttcrings of the defeated are no longer voiced, where ouly a few hours ago shouts and deprecations mingled in jarring discord. Chicago is simply the fairest and most audacious city of the continent today.

It has speeded the parting guests that crowned the Plumed Knight as the leader of leaders and is now ready to welcome the coming guests that are to decree the leader who may lay him low. Even the killed aud wounded are out of sight and thero are no traces of tho desperate conflict that raged on this historical and fateful political battle ground. THE PENDING STRUGGLE. The great struggle of 1884 may now bo calmly reviewed from the Republican standpoint, and it is evident the action of the Chicago Convention is likely to add a new and startling epoch iu our political history. While the action of the coming Democratic National Convention may make the defeat of Blaine assured or impossible, his nomination will noue tho less date the organized disorganization of the Republican party.

It is needless to inquire whether Blaine should have been nominated or not, and equally needless to inquire whether the fullness of time has come for Eepublican disintegration. The irrevocable fact is presented to us that Blaine is the candidate; that organized Republican disorganization is irresistibly shaping itself, and that tho discipline that gave victory to the party in six consecu tive Presidential struggles is now as a chain of smoke or a rope of saud to. hold wayward party elements longer in unity. REPUBLICAN DISORGANIZATION. The convention that has just adjourned proved to every intelligent and unbiased observer that the Republican party is rapidly dyiug at tho top.

where tho Democratic party has been dead for a quarter of a century. I saw it at its first National Convention in 135(3; I have sceu it in every national council since then, and participated iu au humble way in halt of them, and I am to day impressed with the conviction very widely acccepted among many of its ablest aud best leaders, that its work is done and its death throes upon it. Democratic folly may give Blaine an easy triumph in November, but it would hasten rather than hinder Republican annihilation. The work of organized Republican disintegration will go on only the more vigorously aud resolutely if the Democrats shall remove all obstacles to Blaine's election, while a reorganized Republican party for tho future may be born of his defeat. THE DEMOCRACY.

The Democratic organization can live when dead at the top when its sagacious statesmanship and progressive leadership have perished, and when it has been dwarfed from the creative aud most wisely ruling organization of the land into a shifting opposition without purpose beyoud expedients to win power and patronage. It lingered through the war in fitful folly, paralyzed in aim and vigor, and it has been withered for nearly a generation in tho brain that conceived and executed the grandest monuments of American achievement preceding the crowning achievements of the war, emancipation and a reunited government. It has great opportunities iu great Republican abuses, and it has, even in its feebleness, rendered the nation incalculable service by its conserving powers. But it has been only an opposition, denouncing tho war as a failure in Chicago in 1804 and returning home lighted by bonfires telling of tho capturo of Atlanta; doclaring for protection and for the 6oldiers and for tho logical fruits of war iu 18GS; surrendering its individuality and existence in 1872 by accepting Republican candidates and platforms; winning an election in 187G by Republican revolt against the intolerable debauchery of Grautism and without the moral or physical courage to take the Presidency aud power it had won, aud in 1880, when the country Would gladly have set its seal of condemnation Upon fraudulent Republican forces, Democratic free trade suicide forced Republicans to give their party an unmerited and reluctant victory. Tho Democratic party has proved that it can live whou dead at the top.

but tho Republican party will bo lifeless when paralysis shall strike its more beneficent and patriotic aims. It is not a mere political party, as is tho Democracy. It was called into existence by the strongest convictions and inspirations that have united men iu groat efforts since tho Declaration of Independence, and these convictions and inspirations reduced the Democratic leadership by their converts. It has long struggled under tho almost crashing load of corruption and fraud in its highest places and it has repeatedly elected a Democratic Congress, aud once a Democratic President, simply iu emphatic protest against tho prostitution of Republican authority. And whenever it shall bo clear that Republicanism has hopelessly degenerated into a more spoilsmen's camp, tho work of death will be complete.

It will not bo only death at the top; it will bo the death of dissolution, the death without resurrection. THE REVOLT Do intelligent citizens doubt this painful picture of the greatest political organization of history? If so, let them calmly review the Chicago battle that has just closed and hear tho utterances of thoso without whom thero cannot bo Rcpublic.au respect or Republican victory. The submissive lightning brings before us in every pcutro the throbbing of the popular heart from the rcmotost regions of tho Republic, and what was done in convention but last night wi) this morning read of as discussed from lake to gulf and from Eastern to Western Sea, Tho revolt of the staid Republican Boston Adeertiser and of the powerful Boston Herald and tho regretful submission of (he Boston Jvnrntd aro read at tho Chicago breakfast tables; tho scathing leader of tho Republican New York Timo of this morning was read and studied here with tho dawn of day and in Sun Francisco before tho hour that marked Its first Impression in Now York. The practical rebellion of the Now York Commercial Advertiser; tho open, aggressive hostility of the Evening Post; tho bitter assaults of tho Herald that can now take no steps backward; the unconcealed and Implacable opposition of Ctcorgo William Curtis that takes Weekly from tho list of tho great supporters of Republicanism, and tho deep, broad gaps noted in tho convention iu (ho conservative andj reform centres when partisans and placemen rose to uiako tho welkin ring with their cheers, told tho story of Republican disintegration morn impressively than words run portray It. Tlio world progresses from machine Republicanism.

Tlio meeting adjourned with loud cheering lor the Republican Presidential ticket and General Simon Cameron.

Senator J. "Don. Cameron was waited upon prior to tne meeting by a delegation headed by a band of music and requested to attend. He made a speech, staling that he did not think it consistent for him to go to the Court House, but that he thought the ticket was one that could not be beaten; that he was for it first, last and all the time, and that the people would hear from him at the proper time during the coming campaign. THE FEELING IN THE WEST.

Kutlinsiam In Ohio, Iudiana and Kentucky. Harrison Pleased With tho Ticket. Cincinnati, June 7. Dispatches from points in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky report intense enthusiasm over the nomination of Blaine. Bonfires, fireworks, cannon and ratification meetings are the forms of expression used.

At Fostorltt, Ohio, a Blaine club of three hundred was formod before the call of States on the fourth ballot was ended. Governor Foster telegraphed congratulations to Blaiue, saying: "Your nomination is the best." Here demonstrations were limited to cheers at places where the bulletins were displayed.

In an interview Senator Harrison said lie was well pleased with the nominations. He considered Blaine had great elements of strength; that he is strong with the Irish and will carry the Pacific Slope, New York aud Indiana. The scandalous stories against him arc unbetleved and his own State approved him. Ciurficld gave him his confidence in the most conspicuous manner possible. His foreign policy is approved by everyone considering that we ought lo come in closer relations with the Stales of South America and have some of that Immense trade which England now enjoys.

It is all nonsense to think that lie would Involve us in war and the business of the country has nothing to fear from him. He is sound on all economic questions.

Lomdon, Juno 7. Joseph G. Bigger, the Irish Home Rule member of Parliament for Cavan, laughs at the fuss the government is making over the projected rival Orange and National meetings at Newry, Ireland, to morrow. Ho characterizes it as nonsense." Being asked this evening by your correspondent whether he believed there would be trouble at the mooting, he answered, with a derisive laugh "Trouble! There ought to be, but there won't be. Earl Spencer, the present Irish Viceroy, is making a great deal of fuss aud pretends to be very anxious over what he pleases to call the state of hostility existing in Ireland between the Orangemen aud the Nationalists.

He has scut out a circular prohibiting tho Orangemen from holding counter meetings to those arranged by the Nationalists. Of course, the Orangemen have resolved to disregard tho prohibition and to hold their counter demonstrations and of course Lord Spencer pretends that he believes there will bo riots, bloodshed and all that. It's all stuff and nonsense. Tho Nationalists will hold their meeting at Newry to morrow and it is safe to guarautee that there will bo no trouble." But Mr. Oeddcs, the secretary of the London Orange Organization, and Lord Arthur Hill, the Orange leador in Ireland, have both announced that the Orangemen will go to Newry to raormw iu military style, prepared to fight," suggested your correspondent.

Yes," answered Mr. Biggar, ''and I sec that Gcddcs has proclaimed that a thousand armed and drilled Orangemen were prepared to leave London to assist their Newry brethren in promoting the projected riot. But this talk and all these Orange threats are mere buncombe. Spencer's circular is a piece of political clap trap. It should bavebecu issued a year ago, when there was some serious reason for it.

A year ago the Orangemen began their system of counter demonstrations. Then the Nationalists fearod these double meetings, anticipating riots as a result of them. But experience has shown that thcOrangcmeii are both incapable of disturbing National meetings aud afraid to attempt ic. Iu fact, everything has gone to show that the Orange demonstrations have all aloug been devised for the express purposo of providing Spencer with an excuse for prohibiting the 'National meetings." "What particular reason have yon for the belief that there will be no disturbance at Newry to morrow?" "The main reason I have is a certain knowledge that the Orangemen dare not attempt to make trouble, for fear they will get badly whipped. There are very few Orangemen living iu the immediate vicinity of Newry.

The Orange societies of Ireland are miserable organizations. Take them all together and they could not raise sullicicnt money to bring from a distance enough members of the fraternity to successfully attack to morrow's National meeting. As to the talk of sending over from London any considerable number of Orango recruits it makes me merry. Why, it would cost tho volunteers at least three pounds apieco for personal expenses for the round trip, when, if it were possible to ge men cuougli to enlistj flar su expedition, it would be simply impos.sitH to raise tho necessary funds. There isn't enough mouoy among tho whole gang of Orangemen iu England for the purpose.

Take my word for there will bo no riot to morrow in Newry. Tho counter demonstration will be a fiasco. The Orangemen iiave no tight in them. They will make no attempt to disturb tho League meeting. They may, perhaps, endeavor to make a show of reason for Viceroy Spencer's concern by resorting to their old tactics of waylaying some League stragglers, maltreating them and theu exaggerating their own highway business into a story of riot aud bloodshed.

That will be all." A MUSICIAN'S JUBILEE. Sir Julius Benedict Celebrates His Fiftieth Auniversury as a Conductor. Lowdon, June 7. The second aud last ot Sir Julius Benedict's Jubilee concerts In celebration of his fiftieth an niversary as a conductor was given this morning before an audience ot six thousand persons at tho Royal Albert Hall.

Tlio auditors rose to their feet and applauded frantically, coin pelllng the artiste to respond to four recalls, which wore so enthusiastic as lo be Irresistible. In response to one encore and as special compliment to Sir Julius Benedict Madame Sembrich performed ou the violin an adagio and a rondo irotn Do lloriot's Concerto in 1).

This was the first time that she had played on tho violin In public in England and she says that she does not intend to repeal the performance, having consented to appear as a violinist on this occasion to emphasize her ro gnrd for Sir Julius. Her playing, however, was admirable and was heartily enjoyed and encored. Messrs. Edward Lloyd, Charles Sanlley, Joseph Maas, Barton McOuekin nnd Slgnor Foil divided the honors, among the male vocalists. Mr.Wlll iani I.

Winch, the Boston tenor, although announced lo appear, was compelled by illness to send an excuse. Mr. Santley was In prime voice and admirably sang several baritone selections. The concert lasted nearly four hours und Just before It ended Sir Julius Henedlct was crowned with a laurel wreath. Iu attempting to reply Die veteran composer was once or twice overcome by his emotions, but he feelingly thanked the audience und the performers for the honor which they hud accorded him.
