This week wo give p!ace to nn articlo from the Chicago Times, " The President}," discusíáng tho s:une subjuot, but takiag a somuwhat difieren! view. Tho Timen is cvidently oppoaod to tho holding of a Domocratic National Convention and the making of a uomination, in short is a fiill endorser and ulvucato of tho "passive policy." Tho Time also 8i?es in Judge Da VIS) the noininea of tho Ijibor Refonuers, "the coming man," more than iutimates th&t he should also ba nominated by tho coming Cincinnati Oouvention, and thon supportod by tho Deniocraoy intermedíate recorameudation or aomiaation by a con vontion of tho party. We can not regard tliis as tho bettor ooarso. It would bo battdr in our opinión to hold tho convention and act ;is i party thau to undertake suoh a huahwhacking raethod oí oampaigu. Basidea, we dou't bolievo that tho Nutional Committoo will assumo tho responsibüi'y of iu-action or ontering a default, and, ii wilíing so to do, dony their right. Lat the convention be held, and every Democrat wo tliink is in a mood to endorse auy action that it may judge, will best accomplish this end in viw- -dêf'eat Güaxt and re&t(rt6 the Government to it ' po&ition iinrferthe Conatiluiion. We may also add that tho Dcmocracy can not well stand as a body upon the mongrol, deuiagogioiil platform of the Labor Reformers, and if Judge Davis is to retain tho support of tho Domocracy lic must repudíate geyevál of its plaaks, McCleltax like or the Democrucy, O üeeley j like, must be pormitted to " spit upon it." We also givo iu Ibis Abohjs an article from a Republicau Btand-point, though not exactly frora the stand-point of tho adnimistrution wing. This article, a "Washington letter from SAMUEL BOTVXES to hi3 jouvnal, thi; SpringfieU liqntblican, concedes that the better judgment of the better class of Republicana in and out of Congress is that " tho intcrests of tho country and party" do not requirfl tho nomination and re-eloction of Ok.vxt, but that nevertheless ho is to bo renominated. Tlie articlo will bear a carrful reading and coosidoration iu connection with thu two already rofcrrol to, and. will aid in giving tho public a knowledge of the political outlook and situaticu to day.
