ON Thursday night of this week a commit- tee of leading Democrats of Chicago will leavo for Washington to be present at the meeting next Monday of the National Demo- cratic Commitice and urge Chtengo’s tn- paralleled attractions and accommodations Tespecting the Denweratle Notional Conven- tion, The Committee Is headed by Perry H. Smith, and includes Mayor Harrison, Potter Palmer, F, Uf, Winston, Af. W.

We should’ think they had “advanced thelr prices beyond what they ind orter,? and we are astonished at the temerity of that concern in expressing such anoplaton, It will probably retract it when some prohibitionist calls its attention to the danger of such loose and unwarranted con- cessions to the enemies of combinatlon and monopoly, MR. BLAINE'S CAMPAIGN, ‘Tue Trmunr has already directed atten- tion to the remarkable growth and dovelop- ment within the past few daysof Mr, Binine's strength ag a Presidential candidate, This ts nowhere more apparent than In Ohio. The inecting which was held in Columbus ‘on ‘Thursday Inst with the purpose of urging Seeretary Sherman as the Buckeye candidate resulted in demonstrating the strong hold Blalne has upon the peopleof that State. The Sherman meeting bad been diligently worked up throughout the State during several weeks, but tt proyed to be a more local gath- erlug, which was not large enotigh to Mill the sinall hall that had been engaged, Several of the more prominent men of the State de- ellned to serve as Chairinnn, and Coy. Foster was finally persundedt to fill the gap In ree- ognition of the support Scerctary Shennan was supposed to have given him in the Gub- ernutorlal campaign Inst full, There was no enthusiasm, ‘Ihe nck of personal atlach- ment fo Shernian’s fortunes was so apparent that one of tho speakers suld plalnty to his audience: “If you expect that John Sher- man {s tobe carried through by a set of dige nified dromes, you ara damnably mistaken,” Asn result of the Sherman meeting in Columbus, one of the Cinclnnatl papers, de- yoted to his interests, has concluded that thore Is no organization among his friends, The reason for this is, that there is no gen- wine enthusinsm for Sherman among ony class, While Blatne’s frlends are rondy and anslous to hurrsh for thelr hero upon every possible oveasion, Sherman's adherents aro inoved merely by consideration of State pride or the sense of abligations for favora he has bestowed, Nearly all the men who were prominent at the Columbus guthering ad- mitted that Sherman’s claims were urged in that State mainly on the ground that he is an “Ohlo man,” and Goy, Foster is reported as having said, after the meeting, that “the Oblo delegation to Chicago would undoubt- edly be divided.” It now seen Itkely that Mr, Blaine wilt have more dele gates from Olio thun Secretary Shor- tan, as the Grant men are going over to the former 3 raplily as they cone fous that the prospects for Grant getting n delegation Jn that State are dwindling awny, while Sherman seems to have guined no no ceaston from the Grant sdherents who have abandoned the hope of nominating Gen, Grant with a hurrah. If Blaine shall suc- ceed fy dividing the delegation of Sherman's own State, that efrounstance will effectually dispose of Shoriman as o rival eandidate, ‘The formation of a Central and Natlonal Blatno Club in Washington, with s score of the leading Republican palltlelans from dit- ferent parta of the country ns officurs and working members, 1s tie promise of an ag- gressive campaign In Blaine's behalf from now on, It slguifies, to begin with, that Mr, Blulne ts now prepared to encourage his frlends In thelr efforts to seoure his nomina- tion, Ho refrained from doing this fora con- siderable perlod in deference to Gen, Grant, and there is reason to belleve that, hud the enthuslusm for Grant Deon matntained throughout the country, which at one tlne Indicated that he would bo nom- inated with practical unantuity, Mr. Ulaine would have done nothing to stem the current. Now that it has become evident that Gen, Grant 1s a cand!- date only as other men are candidates, and that theyo will be formidable opposition to Lis nomination, Mr, Blaine recognizes that justice to himself and his friends requires that ho shall give his own candidacy the ald of his active coftperation, His large expert- enco and personal magnetism will unques- tlonnbly be of great service In organizing and systematizing tha enthusiasm which he has always been able to arouse fall parts of the country, Blaine Clubs had already spring up spontangously in many States, and, under the stimulus of the National Club at Washington, It wil! not be long before auch nn organization will be found in nearly overy county where the Republicans have a deelded strength. ‘The tifluonee whieh these clubs wilt exert In making up the Stato dole gations to tho Chicago Convention, and in molding tho sentiment of the Convention through the presence of s imuliltude of Blalno’s frionids, will havo an important bear- Ing upon the result. It haa been goneralty conceded during the pist threo months that tho Republican Con- vention would bo divided between Grant, Walne, and Sherman, with n strong proba- bility that Mr, Washburne would be noml- nated in caso the contest among the friends of thethrecother gentlemen shoutd become so close and bitter that no one of them could bo safely selected. ‘Tho events of the lust two weeks have advanced Mr. Blaine’s namo towards the lend of the Ist. When Gen, Grant’s adherents surrendered the hope of nominating him by acclamation and an- nounced an {ntention of making a struggle for © bare majority in the Convention there is no doubt that his candidacy was Injured; Sherman's candidacy has been notably be- Ittled by tho humiliating fallure his friends have experienced in orgaulzing a “boom ” for him in his own State, and hoe has nt- tracted considerable opposition that might othorwise have been passive by his prostitu- tlon of Executive patronage In the Southern States to his own ambitlon, These ure the 4 chief conditions which Inve brought Mr. Blaine so conspletously to the front within the past few days, and his present “ boom” may bo matntyined by the popular admira- tlon he commands and by the netive work of the Blatne Clubs, untess some unforeseen event shail intervene to change the current of public sentiment. ——_—— SSPRINGER'S INFAMOUS SOHEME, William M. Springer, member of Congress froin this State, is Chatrman of tha Houso Committee on Elections. He held the second place In the sume Committee of the Inst Con- throw. the residential election tuto the House. Such an outrage, If consummated, could only be punished by deallng summarily with the man ehlefly responstblo for it, EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 1. Tho President ts warnily and persistently advised by Republicans inal parts of the country of the gross nnd continued violation of Executive Order No. Lin the matter of controlling and packing political conven- tlons hy persons holding Federat office, The Presitent, tt will be remembered, removed Me. Filley from the office of Postmaster at St. Louts because of his tnterforerce in the local politics of that State. The President also required Mr, 15, W, Keyes, who had been for many years Chairman of the Ropublican State Committes, to resign that post, or re- atgn the Fedoral ofico heheld. The Presi- dent in repeated other Instances enforced his order with great firmness, ‘Tho President entered office upon a well-defined plodge to to what Jay in his power to break up all Executivé interference in the freedom of nominations and conventions. Now, If the President wero sincere In his purpose when he issued thts ordor and dur- ing the years that ho Iins enforced It—and tho country hasno reason to doubt thatsincerity,— there fs greater reason why he shouldenfores thisorder at this time than ever before, When the President, fn ints letter of acceptance, as- sured the country that lio would not bo acan- Aldate for redlection, ro that he would bo ex- empt from the temptation of having the stth- ordinate officers of the Government Inboring to control the free ghoieo of tho people to promote his nomination, he gave an inplled assurance that he wonld not permit the Fed- eral oMicers to uso thelr position to control tho free choice of the people in selecting any other person for his successor. ‘Unless the Sveretary of the Yrensury Is dreadfully inaligned, the patronage of the ‘Government 1s directly employed at this tie to pack delegations from the Sduthern States in favor of the nomination of Secre- tary Shermon at the Chicago Convention. Ilere is a case, or series of ecnses, ealling urgently upon the President for the enforcement of Executive Order No, 1, Tho violation of that order Is clear. It is not merely violations of tho order for the purpose of Interfering with local clections, butan Interference of the Executive patron- age to control the conventions which are to nominate tho candidate for the gress, but was then, ns now, the netual head of the Committee. He seems to have been selected for this position on account of hls unscrupulous willingness to perpetrate any Injustice against any member elected, and against any portion of the people choosing & Representative, that may necessary to gain an advantage for the Democrats, Springer has developed in the past, and continues to: show, the pecullar but disreputable qualifica- tlon which secured him ils present distinc- ton. Springer has charged himself with the task of electing a Democratic President by voteof the House of Representatives in case the Demoeratle candidate should be defeated before the people. To carry out this pur- pose it is necessary to make some changes in the present House ns elected by the peo- ple, Heneo Springer proposes to nullify the. yotes of certaln districts, -and thereby steal the yotes of certain States, Thus, in Indiana, the delegation is eaunliv divided, even if De La Matyracta with the Democrats, and the vote of that State will be lost to the Demoerats in case the election of President be transferred to the Mouse, Consequently, Mr. Surtuger aclects Orth, who had the smallest majority among the Republican members cleeted from that State, as tho man to be ousted In order to provide tho Indiona delegation with # Democratic majority. But this 1s not enough. To make tho matter doubly sure, Springer thinks he will steal another State, and so he selects Minnesota, Deeause It hng only three Congressinen (two Republicans and one Democrat), and becanse tho change inasingle vote will nccomplish tho desired result, Washburn was clected over Donnelly by a majority of 8,019, but that Inege majortty does nat startle Springer. Ue merely counts up the number of voters whom It is uccessary to disfranelise and cuts down Washburn’s voto to that extent. Ie throws out 1,700 yotes in Minneapolis because tho ballots werenumbered according to a stat- ute of the State which somo of the Courts had pronounced Ilegnl., He throws out 1,070 more votes, some of thom because the returns were signed by two Justices of tho Peace and f Probate Judge instead of three Justices, and others upon pretexts equally technical ond trivinl If is not matntalned, oven by Springer, that Washburn did not recelye a large majority of the votes netually cust, but itis proposed to unseat Washburn and dis- franchigo tho yoters of his district, ant in- deed the entire State, on account of unty- portant errors made by the election ofilcers, for which the yoters themselves were In no- wise responsible, and which they could not prevent. By this high-handed proceeding Springer proposes to make the State of Min- nesota, with a Republican majority of 20,000 votes, cast a ballot In the Mouse of Repro sentatives fora Democratle President. No princlple was so clenrly and emphat- feally atated by the Supreme Court of Malne In declding agalnst tho Garcelon fraud in that State as the doctrine that voters cannot be cheated of tholr rights by the errors, neg- lectful or Intentional, made by the election officers. ‘The Court was unanimous upon this point; the Republican, Democratie, and Independent Judges united in sustaining it ‘The same principle has governed the Courts throughout the country In adjudicating elec- tloncases, ‘Tho judicia! purposes untformly: to ascertain tho Intention of the voters and to sustain the majority thus found, regardless of informalitics and techuleal violation of the requirements of tho law governing the elec- tlon, But when the Garcelon steal was first made public Springer rushed into print to justify {f, and contended that the Demo- cratic Governor's action could not bo re- viewed by the Courts nor the rightaof tha people defended {n any manner. He foresaw In the Garcelon fraud 9 posable disfranchise- tient of the Republican majority of Malnoin the Presidential yenr, and he approved It on. account of tho party advantage that might thus be secured, no matter how dishonestly. From the same mottye, Str, Springer has hue structed the Elections Committee of tho House of Representatives to adopt Gareclon’g wethod for unseating Washburn, Tf this Committea take thetr report at the presont session, pub- Ne sentiment will compe] the Houso to reject it; if the report shall be withheld {lll after the Presidential election, public sontinent will apprehend tho purpose, and the Domo- crutle purty will be tho sufferer, Now the people regard Springer's disrep- utable tuettes inzy be noted by the redleo- fon to tho present Congress of the mon whon Bpringer wus particularly active in re- 4 Jocting from the preceding Congress, Hold of Massachusetts, Belford of Colorado, and Pacheco of Callfornin were unseated in tho lust Congress at Springor’s Instance, and upan grounds purely technical and insuftl- elont when not altogether fictitious. The result was, that the constituentsof these gun- tlainen returned them to the present Con- gress by majorities which even the audaclons and unserupulous Springer dure not attack, Butasinitar rebuke in the cases of Wash burn and Orth will not serve to avert the de- sign of stealtng tho yotes of 3{innesota and Indiaua in caso the Democrats seo it to Preshlency, and thns actually choose the Presldent’s successor. It is as mich ylolation of tha .order for the President to permit the Federat oMcers throughout tho United States to force the appointment’ of delegates to the Cliicago Convention to vote for tho Secretary of tha Treasury as it would ba to pormit them to force the appointinent of delegates to yote for the renomination of the President him- self; and the President in his letter of ac- ceptinneo deelared that stich 0 proceeding was so highly Indecorous that, to avold its possibility, he would never be a candidate for re@lection, Tho same order is grossly violated in this State, to the great scandal of tho country, and in contompt of the President. In IMnois the Chairman of the Republican State Committee 1s an oflicer of the revenue, subordinate to the Secretary of the Trensury. Me holds tho office and hls Chatrmanshtp, and, though it may be that he Intends to re- sign one placo or tho other, it 1s possible that It will require an admonttion from tho President to that effect. But thore Js the dilema: How ean tho President enforce his order In IllInofs and not enforco Jt In St. Louls? And how can ho forbid the Federal officors In St, Louls packing delegations for the Chicago Convention, and overtook much frantar abuses in Virginia and North Caro- inn? : Tho duty of the President is a plain one. Teshould domand that the Federat officers wha hold membership upon State Commit- tees, and whe otherwiso- participate in the canvass for dotegates to the Chicago Conven- tion, shril resign instantly one or the other placo, and should enforce the vacation of the "Fedoral office if the other forbidden practlees bo.not abandoned. Tho President must stand by and enforee iis order, or submit to have the Executive authority treated with contempt. a Bur, of course, it 1s to tho interest of tho en- thre community that paper should be kept ata reasonable prica—not siinply that tho present rive should be checked, but that such a condition shoittid bo produced us would prevent exorbitant rates in tho Cuturc. WHI the ropeal of tho tari do this?—{,-0, Thore ts 5 duty on wood and straw pulp of Oper cent imposed by construction of the ‘Treasury Departinent; :thore Is a duty of 85,05 per ton lovied by the tariff on soda-nsh, and other chomlcals used in making paper nre equally taxed. It 1s asked of Congress by the press of the United States (by ninety-nine of 100 newspapers) that the ingredionts of unsized paper shall be placed on the free Hist. ‘ho repeal of these taxes will most certainly materially reduce the cost of manufacturing paper in this coun- try, and do away with allnecessity for any tax on Imported paper. Tho proposition befora Congress isto unbandleap bath papermaker and publisher by repealing onerous taxes and cheapentng tho process of manufacturing the article, and thon reducing the duty on paper to prevent combinations of manufac urors practicing extortion on-publishers as they are now doing, It is conceded by the prohibition organ that “It ts to the interest of the entlre community that paper shouldbe kept at a rensonable price’; and the way to kcop it at a reasonablo prica is to pursue the course advocated by tho press of tho country. The plan advocated by the prohibitionists of walting yenrs for the bullding of new paper-mills in such numbers as to broak up the pooling arrangements of the papor-can- bination would be laughable If it were hot in- sulting mockery of the plucked victlusa, It is too much Hko Grecloy’y advice to tho atrapped jour printer who asked him for somo pecuniary ald: “Why dont you buy a double-cylinder press and an outfit of type and then go West and grow up with the country 2” replied the philosopher, It would be some time before the jour could do it, but in the meantime what was ho to do? Greeley had not thotight of that, It will be & considerable anell bofore the protected combination cuts down Its price by the proc- css of erecting competing papor-inills, ——_ Tur Chiengo distillers accused of “ irregu- lnritles” in their dealings with the United States Government are endeavorlfk to com- promse the claims agalnst thom.

AN UNWILLING CANDIDATE, Translated from the Blaale-Zeitung of Yeaterday. Tho two Grint papors in this eity—the Titer- Ocean and tho Hventng Journal—havo recently announced in the most offical tone, and with arent cmphnals, that Mr. Bi. Washburne fs not. A eandidato for the office of President, and that, moreoyor, he oarnestly desires tho nomination and election of Grant. ‘This agrees cxuotly with tho declarations which dtr, Washburne made fast Thursday in a Jong Interview with tho oditor of tho Staats-Zeit- ting,—or, rather, repeated, for ho hnd already expressed himsolf in tho samo manner and in {he sanic piaco some months earlicr. But tho, wo papers named, because itauited thelr pur- pose, did not sny alt that wna to bo aald, and the omission shail be suppited hore. . all that {9 vorreot is that Mr. Washbnrno Js not menndldate against Grants that, ao long as Grant shall be tn the fed, and so long as there shall bo any prospect for Grant's nomtnation, ho (Wash- burne) will not be an actlye candiduto; and that ho will gladly divert to Gen.

Those who see in-Washpurne tho best and strongest vandidate whom tho Republican party could put forward hayoe never for ono moinont thought that he would uppeur ns one of the strongest candidates In tho first baltots In the Natlonal Convention.
