The npublicaa Convention met on Tuesday at CLicajro, but up to this writing Thursday morning, no nomioa tion has been made. The Republicans are at sea without ecnipa.! or rudder and unless a stampede be made for Illaine, there aeems to be no guessing who will be nominated. Mr. Thurston, of Nebraska, the chief counsel of the Pacific Railroad in Its efforts to swindle the government out of the debt it owes, was made temporary chaiaman and in bis speech to the convention he attempt ed to treat the Blaine letters as a sin cere and conclusive proof that the Maine statesman was out of the race, that his nomination would be a ''politi cal crime" but this part of his speech t was received with a vigorous protest by the followers of tba Plumed Knight. The Blaine men seem to be keeping their enthusiasm well bottled, to be uncorked after several ballots have been takeu and an ineffectual effort made to unite on a candidate. They may then try the effect of the name of Blaine oa the convention and unless all signs fail, Blaine will be the nominee who will lead his party to an overwhelming de feat in November.

He was a gallant soldier, tried in two famous campaigns, against Austria In lsGO and against France In 1S70 and upon his record as a soldier his fame rests.

Nearly a third of a century bos rolled between the first Republican National Convention, which met in Philadelphia in ISoO, and that which will as3rable this day (Tuesday) in Chicago. When the first Republican Contention mwt in this city its delegates werr, politically speaking, Btrar.trers in a strange town. Although the Republican party had al ready attained immense vigor in the West, it was scarcIy recognized in Philadelphia. The Democrats of the city dreaded anti-slavery agitation in every form as dangerous to the Union, and their Whig and Know-Nothing op ponents were hardly less conservative. This conservatism was not serioasly shakeu until the civil war suspended all commercial intercourse between the North and the Smth. But Philadel phia amply compensated for her hesita tion and reluctanc to join the Republi can party by becoming, when the civil war and its issues bad been settled, the only intensely Republican city in the country. When the Republican party came into existence the tariff, which now consti tutes its only platform, was rarely dis cussed, thanks to the success of the 'free-trade" tariff act which had been in operation for ten years. The tariff question was completely Ignored in the first Republican pla'.form, and the par ty in its origin was anvthing but what it has now become an organization given np body and soul to the service of monopoly and special privilege. Many of the ear'y Republican leaders who had abandoned the Democratic party oa the slavery tsne. including) such men as Salmon P. Chase and Preston King, were as ardently in favor of commercial s of personal freedom. Ohers, like John Sherman and Henry Wilson, in their speeches went almost to the verge of free trade. William II. Sward, the the foremost leader of the Republican party, voted for the free-trad tariff of lS-")7. the lowest tariff in the last sixty years, and he was followed by nearly every Republican Representative in both Houses of Contjiess from New England and New York. Subsequently, when it tiecame neces sary to raise enormous revenues from j every available source for meeting the expenditures of the civil war. the word "protection" was rarely used in the tariff discussion. In the hiirh tariff ct cf 1SC2 and l'.t the ostensible purpose was to raise revenues, not to protect In dustries, although this patriotic object was f n-quently defeated bv greed in imposing prohibtory duties which yielded no revenues to the embarassed Treasury. Uuder no other condition but the neceis;tv of war would it have been possible to establi b the existing tariff sstem. In building it np cun ning and rapacity took advantage of the generous patriotism of the people. While the people were intent solely IrPe(!nm "rv form the original R5- publicans obtained from their oooonents ;he derisive appellation of "Freedom Shriekera." But now, in a strange per vrrsion of ideas, their Republican suc cessors regard every effort to remove re straints upon commercial freedom as inspised by the spirit of alaverv. The earlv Republicans, as their first distinct political act, reduced the tariff below the average of 20 per cent ; and now their decendants are thrown into spasms over a biM which proposes, in reformin? the tariff, to leave the average rate of protective duties as high as 40 per cert. The party of freedom has hecom io its decline the devotee of industrial and commercial slavery. Under this reactionary condition the Republican Ninonal Convention meets at Chicago to day (Tuesday) and the sit uation may well cause concern among Its reflecting members for the future exist ence of the party. For the first time In the history of the country a political pirty proclaims its devotion to a system of legislative ppoilatioti, and its deter mined hostility to every measure for the substantial reform of that system. Ther6 are many members of the party who re card this policy as suicidal, but their voices of warning will tie rtnctheiedby the c'mora of the assembled votaries of Tariff Monopoly.

I'hiUt. licord. X Broken Pledge. Four vears ago the Republican party roupUd a p'edge with an accusation in the following plank of the Republican pIa"orni : The Democratic rartv has failed comple tely to relieve the reople of the burden of unnecMsary taxation hj wise reduction of ' !

But since 1S.4. and eanecially during the current year, the Democratic party bas been engaged in an earnest and manly efiVr "to correct the inequalities of the tariff and to reduce the surplus." What has the Repnlican parry done about it ? Has it co-operated in the good wotk In accordance with the pledge of 14 ? Has it propos-d any plan of its own to the country as better man tne democratic wry. and as obvia. ! tine anv difficnlties or imperfections it ;:"ZZ?-, 1 .

Let us cherish the surplus as the sheet anchor of our saftey. We can spend the surplus, scatter it among States, give it away, or consume it in building vast works. We can ficd ways of distributing it as far as needs be. but we must not stop collecting more money than we require, for to do that might perchance iuterefere witb the profits of some great monopoly manufacturer some man of the sort which pay our campaign expenses and furnish the jobs that make Republican statesman rich. Instead of correcting the inequalities cf the tax laws in favor of the laborer and consumer, let us increase to yet higher rates thedutiesoutof whlchourmonopoly friends make their millions every year." Such is the present attitude of the Re publican party with respect to its pieage. Its cry now is, "Protection for th sake of "protection." Its system is to encourage universal extravagance and profligacy in public administration, and to run the Government constantly in time of peace for the sole advantage of the already dangerous aristocracy of plutocrats which grew uo out of the un equaled opportunities offered to a hand ful of capitalists by the necessity of meeting the demands of a gigatitic and most costly war. Happily the day of the monopolies is over. During four years of control of executive power the Democracy has given back to the people a hundred mil lion aires o! the people's lands misappro priated by the monster corporations. The importation of cheap European contract labor bas been stopped, and that Btill more fearful scourge, tne in vasion of Astatic labor, bas been brought to an end. The Custom laws, no longer administered for the benefit of a few guilty partners of delinquent officials, are executed with an even hand, so that the honest merchant may continue in trade without fear of the poorbonse. That public office is a pub lic trust has ceased to be an aspiration and baa become a realization, and offi cials are no longer the masters, but have become the servants of the people. Tne voters of the United States, hav ing tried many things, will bold fa"t to that which Is good. They will com mand the next Congress and the re elected President to go forward in the path of progress and reform. They will have nothing to do witb the Republican reactionists or their policy of reaction except to bury then uuder an adverse majority so great that no set of men will ever again dare to make to the American people propositions so uncon stitutional, so treasonable to the spirit of free aud equal government as the Republicans now propound. The peo ple will remember the Republican pledge of 1S4, and how monstrously it has been violated. .V. Y. Star. ot a Tarty F.ntdgn. The stars and stripes belong to the wbo:e people of the United States, and not to any one particular party. The attempt being made by the Republicans to use the country's flag as a political emblem to further party success is an insult to the Intelligence and patriotism of the American people. There are many good and pitriotic men in the ranks of the Republican party, and they have an undoubted right to march Ud der the flag whenever they feel disposed to do so, but they should do it as American citjzns and not as partisans. For the edification of those hair brained Republicans who are trying to drag the flig of their country in thd mire of par ty politics, we will mention a few facts io show that the credit of sustaining the red, white and blue emblem of our country's integrity does uot belong en tirely to the g. o. p. It was under the wis9 and patriotic administration of Thomas Jefferson, a Democrat, and later on under another Democratic administration that we re cured that vast domain reaching from the Mississippi to the Pacific. It is from this same territory that the rves ent Republican paity gets most of its strength, although its political ances tors fought hard against its acquire ment. It was a Democratic administra tion that carried the flae successfully through the war of 1SI2-14, io spite o the protests of this same g. o. p. who from press and pnlpit denounced it as unjust and unholy war, even going so far as to invoke divine vengeance upon the beads of Mr. ifadieon and the heroes of that war. Who were tbey ? Andrew Jackson, a Democrat, won a great victory at New Orleans at which upwaids of .3,000 British red coats bit the dust and be was fined f 1,000 by a federalist judge for trving to uphold the honor or the Ug. General John E. Wool and General William J. Wocth, both cf whom were consistent Demo crats, carried the old flag to victory. Oliver Uazird Peiry who won lasting fame by his great victory on Lake Erie, ws a Democrat, as was also Thomas, McDonough, of whom it is said, that being at one time impressed into thi service by a British man of war, tr looked aloft and said, "Float on. prou fig of England. God willing I will yfc hnmble yonr pride." Every school bry can tell of bis glorious victory on La-e Cbamplain. The list might be greaty extended and yet not embrace the nares o? all the Democratic heroes who ion distinction by their unselfish devolon to the stars and stripes during thatse cond war of Independence. It might be mentioned incidenally that it was a Democrat, Francis Brton Key, that wrote that stirring .ong. Ihe Slar itjtinyhd Banner, and fiat it was not a Democrat that wrote -Tear down the flaunting lie." So yo. will perceive. Messieurs Republicans how uowaranted is your assumption f sole ownership of the flig of onr emmon country. Let U3 kindly suggec that you suppress your partisan pariotism sufficiently to prevent the fo killer from getting in his work. lhrisburq 1'tUriot. i The Independents for Clevcand. By Mr Cleveland's public y'-toes and public defects the people murtake bim and judge him as a Candidas for the Presidency. His course in tb assailing of abces is known. His met age on the protective tariff aroused th people as thev were aroused by Lineol's first call for troops. His great ability s now can didly recognized. His peftct honesty and sincerity are no longe? questioned save by reckless and malloant parti sans. His successes and lis failures, his titles to applause, bono and respect, and his acts that have calltt for censure or justified want of conttenc are re corded in an open booi The moft cursory examination ratals the vast predominance of the itries which stand upon the credit sidsif the account. But above and overshaowing every thing else on the page studs the Pres dent's message, consulting him the leader in an aggressive warfare to make an end of extortionate customs taxes, and furnishing the iseua of the canvass. Upon the President's ecord and upon that issue we cannot txieve the judg ment of the people at the polls will be other than favorable, tir can we doubt thai the independent of 1SSI, with substantial unanimit and with very large accessions, wi!-ast their ballots for the Democratic candidade.
