THE TUTU ACESUE aoNPEBMNOtJ.
Tin. Tribl'NK was not mistakeii in assuining
that nothing but good should be expectod
from the Fifth Avenue Conference.
It developed an overwhelming sentiment,
even among the discontented Free Traders,
in favor of the Cincinnati ticket as the only
rallying point ultout which could lie gath?
ered tho opposition to Gen. GraDt. It
drew from Senator Trumbull a weighty,
compact, and unanswerable argument for Cin?
cinnati. It brought from nearly every State,
n presented la tho Conference, unexpected de?
velopments for the Cincinnati ticket. It
?bowed the irreconcilable opposition to Messrs.
Greeley and Urown to be even smaller than
Thk Tribune had anticipated.
And, finally, It drexv from Gen. Carl Schurz
a cogent, persuasive, magnetic appeal for a
harmonious support of the Cincinnati nomi?
nees, the iniluouce of which can hardly
be overrated. Gen. Schurz did not like the
nominations ; and he ba. this great title to
consideration, that he has never pro?
tended to like them. But he has never
given the slightt-Bt warrant for the gross
uiisrcprcM-ntatious whereby he ha? been
reckoned us either hostile or doubtful; and on
the occa-tion which he has himself chosen no
the titfest, he proclaims his attitude in a man?
ner as influential as it is conspicuous
und frank. When he had spoken, last night,

THE OMNIBUS PLATPOEM.
There, is ah*.ays more or le.-?* of IiiiiiiIhik
political platforms. The average politick
M be urile- theni appears to imagine that tl
inasM-s at.- in.-.! as rascally and much mo
.-tupid than himself, and aro lo lie careful
.i!)i_'led for by appeals to their interests ?n
their prejudices?the coarser the better. Tl
people wiio prepare these *<;?.,,ieifiil doc

fa.es like the ^optical augurs of Koni
*fS BU-MsH is too practical and Bet
oi.s to miiij-'le any conscience or ?n
.-.use of humor in it. The great trick of
platform is to make it read in either of tv
ways, ac?'onliiig to the loailingB of the rea.le
When it reads in both of two Mays, it in;
be called a failure. There are few it ai
era01 voters so dull or so i ml in"? rent that tl?
like to se?T that thc?T platform-builders ai
laughing at them. Tlieir self?teepee? deniam
some ailcctation of earne.-tnes.s and consis
(?my in those who give them their camlidati
iiud their principles.
The platf??nn which was adopted at Phil;
delphia, from this point of view, is certain]
not successful. In their m nous anxiety <
eateh every species of voters the geiitleme
who flamed it evidently forgot the tiine-honore
piuveib Uni "one man's meat is anotl?
* man'? poison," and that an objectionabl
principle may dine away aTmany ii.slt attrait
It was, of course, very important to insert int
the platform a Taiill plank, for the needs ?
the party will he sore in Pennsylvania thi
Autumn. And yet thrre are a dozen or s
Free-Traders who did not have their ow n way |
Cincinnati, and who therefore would like t
see tlieir load clear to voting for (Jen. (.'rani
For their sakes the Tariff article must b
given a second meaning, so that it ma
mean Pig Iron in Pittsburgh and Free Trad
in N'e*.v-Y<irk. So, too, they recognized th
fact that they must have repressive l?gislatif
and centralized administration extended ove
loe Southern States lor the sake of cocnini
their electoral votes lor Mr. Grant. It become?
therefore, necessary to indorse in the inos
cordial manner the Ku-Klux and Force bilU
and to thank the President for favoring then
and (?eaglet- for enacting them. Hut there i,
unquestionably an exteuiaive revolt among in
dependent men North and South against th(
military government which, after seven yean
of nominal peace, threatens to make itsel:
p?Tiuauent. To gain the good will of the mei
of law the Sixteenth Article vindicates th?
reserved lights of the State* and dis
approves of the measures which in tl?
Twelfth Article were warmly commended
The Eleventh Article accomplishes a ?till mon
remarkable feat, -?eeognizing the ?tumbling
blocke wherewith the path of the I??bor Re
formers abounds, wanting the voice of Mr
Wendell Phillips, the vote? of tho Trades
Uuions, and, most of all, the money of the
capitalist? to carry on the campaign, they take
both ?ides of the question in oue short para?
graph, and declare for the laborer and the
hirer in the saine breath. The Woman Ques?
tion i.-. tieati?I with the same awkward dis
honcsiy.
There are other portions of the platform
where the popalU meat of the subject is pi? -
fc? iited, the Convention relying Upon the pub*
lie to forget the hostile attitude of the Ad
ministration in regard La these matteis. For
in-tame, there i? a fair sounding clause about

M idea would be regarded ? with horror in a
convention of ____M?_a__-a. This whole arti?
cle is nue of file calmest pieces of eflront

his full conldeiice and sympathy. The gentb
men who maw up that hyjiocritical article
deobtleaa inagined that people had forgotten
who suppori-d and who opposed Civil Servie.?
Refera in the hist Congress. Whenever tho
subject aro.e the trusty henchmen of Grant
in both House?, men who never open
their inouhs but, by his order, mad ?
haste to atiack it. Gen. l?utler said the mm
xvho siistaiied it wem I lie foe? of the l'resi

headed by Conkling and CaipeaBBt lost no
opportunity to (leiiotince and ridienle the plan
of lifoiin, i.hile tint men who supported it,
Schurz and Truinbrill and ?Ynton, were ?lie
men who linked not to the White House but
to Cincinnati for relief from the disgrace? and
coir up! ions of pat r,mage.
Almost every article of this platform ex?
hibits this biei/y ili-n-gird for the __< mory or
the intclligciic- of tint voting people. Nothing

Bornea Gieelej is to ba __t scad Pi. ??lent,
th? people oi the (Jolted Slates, though they
may fail to find ont beforehand what m,inner
of man he is, will at leant find out what the
Kriioiiiination Kditois profcm to think that
he is. Than is nothing at all new, however,
in tin i -lupin) ment of ihese, personal weapons,
for \hf-j are as ancient as the corn-cob pipe

than some (?encrais do now. A candidate
?.gainst whom iiotluiig worse can be nlleged
than pi'Ciiliarities, real or fancictl, of his COB*
t nine, and who is brought to bar for nothing
more flagran! than the luitieity of his tantea,
will come out of the cuntes!, v.hatevcr its
event, with no graal lo-?*-?, of good chanu ter.
That ancient newspaper, The .Journal of Com -
mart?, has been among the fust of the sort to
discover that llr. (?rct-lfy is "not wanting in
" certain -lea-tata of popularity," and that
" ins amiable peraona. remntrieitka may be
" iiuide to redound to hi? advantage," inas?
much as " the American people have n kindly
" disposition toward tho whims and humors of
" Tu ?ideiitial candidates.'' It is the opinion,
however, of The Journal that Mr. Greeley is
not eccentric, whimsical, or humorous enough
to secure an ?lection. " Mr. Creeley,"' it says,
" has mad?- B f?ad deal of history in his long
" can er ai jouiuulist and politician, and it is
" upon that, which is spread open before us,
" that the people fasten th? ir gaze.'' Exactly
so. Our coteinpoiary is right for once. W?
invite the fullc?t inspection of the "good deal
" of history" which Mr. Greeley has made, sat?
isfied as we are that it is not his bailing of
Jell'eison I ?avis ?liich should awaken the dis?
trust of The .Iniinuil of Commerce. Cpon this
occasion, at least, we ______ to that newspaper
the credit of being good-natured.
If the gentlemen who write m lite Evening
Post really believe that the election of .Mr.
Greeley would be the total, final, and irrepar?
able ruin of the United States of America, the
howl of solemn warning which they have
lifted up does credit to their hearts and an
equal discredit to their lit ads. Why ?cannot
they look at the matter in the equable and
amiable way of The Journal of Commerce f
When they say tint jMr. Greeley is "weak in
"principle"and also " infirm of purpose," and,
moreover, "imbecilo of character," ???i that
ka woald, if elect-id, "bo miriminded by a
"crowd of adventurers and cormorants and
" knaves," they uso unnecessarily muscular
language?an indulgence the last which
we should have looked for in that
sensitive and refined quarter. It seems that
to call a man a liar is bad, but to call him
weak, infirm, and imbecile, is perfectly polite,
urbane, and elegant. The Pott should under?
stand that there is a en tain point beyond
which the use of strong language defeats its
own purpose j and that people aro not likely
to Inlieve, because The Post says so, that if
Mr. Greeley should become President, we
"must prepare ourselves for auy calamity

local politics have depended vi ry greatly ujioi

Intel nal Ki-wiiiic Assessors and Collectors,

IHilitician in a remote country district could
POl hope to becune one of the local oficiala,
he was sa'i.stietj and purchased by a position
in the new-York Castom-noaee. The decline
of the Internal I?evt nue Aateeeon and Col?
lectors has left room lor a reaction which thu
people are not slow to tafeo advintage of.
The lii-ni great, intellectual ell. ? I of the Cin?
cinnati movement is that men begti t<? d?a?
cuss questions without regard to ?laity Nettie?
tinns, and the second gieat etl'ect v :ll be that t h y
must decide upon ?pu minus and arguments of
their own raising. This is the eflbc? of democ
r.icy against centralism, an t-tl??rt which Mr.
Mill and his followed have been urging for
many years. " It is of supreme importance that
"all classes of the community down to the
"lowest should have much to do for them
" selves; that as great a demand should lie
"made upon tlieir intelligence a'id virtue as
"tiny are in any respect equal to; that the
"Government should not only leave as far as
"possible to their own faculties the conduct
"of whatever concerns themselves alone;
" ? ? * this discussion and management of
"collective interests is the great .school of
" that public spirit, and the greet source of
"that intelligence ?if public affairs, which are
"always regarded M the distinctive character
" of the public of free countries." So says
Mill ; and so says, in etlect, a plank of the Cin?
cinnati Platform. The tendency and pra? tice
of the present Administration are to repress
the fieedom of the people, by permitting the
President to press his BMMBNI through Con?
gress ; but the Liberal lhforni movement ex?
pressly derides that the great question of the
districts shall be left to their peoples, without
interference or dictation from the Kxecutive
?very class of thcor'sts now gets a fair
hearing. The issue is asked to be drawn im?
mediately for practical purposes. We submit
that the call of the Free Trade League ex?
presses the solemn truth when it says that
the question of Free Trado "cannot be disrc
" garded at election??." The Convention did
not tell the people how to vote, but only that
they must vote acconling to their belief, and
according to that of no party. And to have
the faith of the people, as expressed through
Congress laws, properly administered, with?
out regard to Executive int?Tf?'reuce or dicta?
tion, a broad national organization has beCB
formed, and is composed of all honcs-t men.
Thus Ceogieei is intended more nearly than
ever to be the depository of popular opinion,
representing the moral force of sections of the
c?iuntry, and not of a party caucus, and laws
are not to b?> made from, but they are to be
executed from, the White lions?-.
The first report of the Street-Cleaning Bu?
reau has quite the toue of a romance of the
modern practical sort. In the tir?t week of
its existence it has cleaned the er? tue paveil
area of the ciiv, and a large part of it has
been swept thie?' several times. Wo venture
to say that the whole city was never licfotc
known to be ?ban at onetime. Moreover, we
are pi ?unis??', that all the streets will be k?'pt
clean hereafter, which is perhaps too gond a
