This system seemed to have given genoral

own position In refertnee to all of these
vexed question of usage.
As n public Journalist and as a democrat,
our minion Is that of tho promulgation and
advocaey of democratlo principles. The
prosier!ty and success of the party nro ob
jects with us always above and beyond any
selfish and personal considerations what
ever J and however wtdely wo may differ
with many of our party friends in matters
of policy and expediency, the time will
never come when Justly wo shall bo charged
with the prostitution of our position as a
public Journalist to any purposo of personal
gratification or avengement at the expense
of our political principles, or tho sacrifice of
the interests and harmony of the party.
That which our reason and Jnognftnt de.
olares tho Jiight, we shall advocate with
what of honest earnestness nnd nblllty we
may command, and the wrong, whenever
nnd wherever it may arise, wo shall as ear
nestly and promptly condemn and repudi
ate. The usages nnd customs of the party
command our approbation and support for
no other reason than that they are not only
necessary but Indispensable to the mainte
nance of our principles and the protection
of tho party from fraud and Imposition, and
this consideration is common with us all,
and equally entitled to the entertainment
of others as or ourself. That which mena
ces and impinges upon the rights nnd liber
ties of the humblest member of the party,
menaces and affects tho rights and princi
ples of us all, and while we should never
either advocate or defend any measure of
encroachment upon tbo rights or others as
mulws of tbe party, wo should take irood
care to resist and oppose ay7sbc: Wok
ing to the gratification, of the wfrtow and
caprices of the faotleus and interested fwr
at the expense of the ,muy, We support
as well la action aa In ithkoy the usages
and customs of tbevsvty, because they aro
reasonably and rightly necessary for tho
self-preservation of tbe party, and from no
other motive As a partisan, wo are ame
nable to the public judgment for our ac
tlons If we wantonly and unjustifiably vio
late tbe rules and observance) of the parly,
no resolves can or should avail us .to avoid
tbe rightful consequences of our own action.
If one of tbe consequences of such a viola
tion of usage and duty, be a temporary de
privation of certain partisan rights, it is tbe
judgment or tbe people, the majority, and
imposed not for "punishment," but or the
protection or the many from, tbe impositions
of the few, and u this light aloof is suob
action Justifiable. These rights accrue
from tbo observance or the moral obliga
tions imposed npon us as partisan; and tbe
power and aetion whleh oenfff them has
tbe right to .suspend or refuse them. Jt U
therefore elosr that at oacstbe right, and
duty of the party as mieb Is to protest itself

by the advocacy and obscrvanco of all hoc-

and this course wo shall irteedf9tly jwrsne,
relying upon the Intelligence and soand
judgment of the people for their approba

pernicious precedents and manifest Injustice

concession to accomplish the noblo and pa
triots purpose than ourself.
Tho Standard, in assailing this appor
llonm.ct ssys, that It was tho duty of tho
committee to fix upon a day for the assemb
lage of tho convention, and adds:
"The duty ulso devolved upon this Cen
tral Committee to regulate tbo apportion
ment of the several counties, in regard to
the number or Delegates each county is en
titled to."
If It Is conceded here s It evidently Is If
there Is any meaning In language, that the
duty devolved upon tho commltteo to "rtg-
latt" the apportionment, then the only ques
tion in hsuo Is whether the committee in
adjusting tho apportionment havo estab
lished a basis In accordance with fairness,
equality and justice. If tho apportionment
Is unfulr and unjust, it is properly a subject
for the remedial agency or the convention
when assembled. The Central Committee
possess no power not delegated to them by
the convention, nnd the limited powers they
do nossess aro subject In all cases to tho
supervision and control or the convention,
H, therefore, any county Is wronged by this
apportionment, tholr proper recourse Is up
on tho convention. To suppose that tho
members of the convention when assembled,
and the matter submitted to their decision,
$imitf'&
say meanly dishonest. We treat that In
tho discussion of this question, all Intlma
tlons of vhls nature may be studiously avoid
cd. Malicious and unfounded aspersions
cost upon tbo motltes the committee wo
place in the samo category.,.
LIn every State in the Ufflon without, as
we ore quite confident, a eingls exception,
the rule is to apportion the delegation to a
State convention according to the deraocra'
tlo vets of the counties. Tbo purpose of
such a convention Is to ascertain tho will of
the ronjo-jty of tho party ( and this can only
be effuotod by delegate apportionments in
conformity with the numerical strength of i
the party In tho several counties. This is
the rule, and it Is Connded-opon -principles
of strict justice and supported by reason
and common sense. It Is morally impossible
that the rulo can in any case work Injustice
to any portion of the party ; and while tbe
doctrine that the will or the majority must
prevail Is respected, this basis or apportion
ment will be maintained and adhered to un
der all circumstances.
Nominations aro-Undlng upon the party
becauso they are the nominations or the ma
jority, and because we hold to ths doctrine
that tlie minority aro under moral obliga
tions to acquiescence In tbo will of tbo ma
jority. Are not these positions undeniable?
Uut let us look at tho reverse proposition,
It is claimed that the committee should bavo
adhered lo the old legislative apportion
ment. That apportionment was made In
the year 1854 by tho legislature for purely
and exclusively legislative purposes, and

Ths former lath, If It may be dignified
by that name, was established in tbe first
Instsnco by the chairman of the Central
Committee without any expression or opi
nion from the remaining members cf the
Committee, and was universally acquiesced

capital was not quite so lcccn as unfortu
nately it happens to be now. What then
was right and proper for the Central Com
mittee to do, is right and proper In them at
thts dsy to regulate and adjust II It did
not require the action of tbo assembled
convention to establish that most unjust
and Inequitable basis of apportionment,
why rcqulro such Interference now todo
that we all know and admit to be fair, equi
table and just. We arc told that tbo Com
mittee havo transcended their powers; that
they should have awaited and submitted tbe
movement to tho action of tho convention
when in session. Why so f If It is right
that tbe delegation to a democratic conven
tion should bo in proportion to tbe party
strength in tho respective counties, what
matter Is It who first declares it) The right,
como how or from what quarter it may, Is
always wclcomo to tho heart et the honest
and right-thinking mind.
If It Is admitted, as sarely It must bo, that
the delegate representation should bo lt
proportion to tbe party strength In tho sev
eral counties, how Is this strength to be as
certained! Certainly by refcrenco to tho
returns of tho previous election. If you
are asked tbe question, "How many demo
crats baveyon In yoor county?" do yon
answer any how else than from your memo
ry of the result or the election t It is not
tho fault or the Central Committee that n
particular county has not ft record as many
democrtitlo votes as It should have, and this
Is sometimes an evil moro to be attributed
to a faalt-findlng disposition than to tho
realous and earnest advocacy of democratic
principles.
We therefore maintain that tbe action, of
she eemmUte In UrU matter was In all ft
sfeeti rfsjfct and proper,' and we predict now
that la less than a single year, 'ths wisdom
and expediency of the action will net be
questioned.
Rather than persist in being intolerably
tedious, we shall rest here, and recar to thts
subject again.
nirronr or Vilusjim. Tho origin of this
game, according to a little book lately pub
lished by the Appletons, like tbe btrth place
of Homer, is a contested point and its an
tiquity, like that of many elderly spielers,
is Involved In considerable doubt, Soma
suppose It to have been Imported intdlomo
from Persia, under tbe consuWblp Lucullur,
while others hold that Caligula Introduced
It from the East. Tbe records are unauthen
tic unllH4io..return of the Templars from
the first Crusade. "it -soon became tbe fa
vorite amnscment and means of exspise to
which the cloistered monks of the day wero
permitted to have recourse. Tbe game fell
with the Knights Templars, and ras re
vived by Louis XL, of France, who prefer
red it to the bloody tournaments then in
vogue. Henry III. still moro widely pat
ronised it ; and we find that Mary Queen of
Scots, in a letter written tbe evening before
her execution, complains that her "billiard
table has just been taken away from her, as
a preliminary step to her punishment'-'
It became a favorite game with tbs ladles
In France and Germany. Madame de Slsel
was an enthuslastlo adrceste of billiards.
Even when exiled In Switterland by Napo
leon, she overstayed the time limited for her
departuro from l'aris, In order that the
might personally superintend the remove!
of a billiard table. Tbo Dncbeas de Bern
was also noted for br fondness for tbe game.
