Instead of ate tributing the opposition to his candidacy to public reasons such as Inspire a Ike opposi- tion on the part of nlne-tenths of the Aimert- ean people, he places it upon personal grounds,—some Imaginary quurrel, nt some imaginary date, upon some finnginary de- ninnd of him to violate and nullify tho law of the iand, ‘ ‘Tho indisposition on the part of Tits Tr. uN to support him for President has a higher motlve than could arise from a per- sunul dispute,—supposing there was one in this case, ‘Tue Trius ts not’s “personal orga,” Whatever party allegiqnce It owes jy due to the Republican party, and not to any Individuals In that party, In lls desire. to promote the success of the Republican enuse it has considered avallabllity—that 13, probability of election—on the part:of the Presidential candidate of so much simpor- tance that it cannot be safely overlooked, and tha¢ It will be folly to seloct a candidate so objectionable to such # largo body of the Republican voters ag Mr. Sherman ta, and thereby Invite the defeat that will ba inevita- blo {f he is nominated, hi Mr. Sherman was the first man in Congress who wver formulated 9 measure to abolish the colnnge of Ainerican silver money, Though that scheme was abandoned by hin, noverthgless soma years biter It was uxu cuted by law, iC not through hls efforts, cor- talnly by his connivance and co8peration. Subsequently, when this domonotization leg- islatton became known to the country, popu- far indignation demanded a restoration of tho silver dollar, ang tho redatablislment of one, and the alder one, of the two constitutional forms of coin money, ‘Tim. CutcAgo ‘Thuyune, representing tho almost unanl- ‘ious senthnent of the people of the’ Western States, heartily and carnestly supporled the remonetlzation’ of silver, Mr. Sherman ay Senator, and subsequently as Secretary, strongly opposed this restora+ tlon, . He give whatever personal and oflelal Inducncy he had to prohibit ellyer ond unke gold the exclusive metallic monoy of the country, He was 60 fur successful thut he fuduced the President to unite with hin ih recommendation te Congress adverse wo tho restoration of sllyer money. Notwith- standing this offtclal interference the Silver Inw was enacted. In all this discussion Mr. Sherman made himself offensively con- splenous in his support of the Wall-street schemo to contract the vurrency of the coun: try to the small measure of gold. in addition to this, he has, sineo the passage of the Silver Inw, done everything to disparage silver; ha has Hmitec the coin, age to ‘the minimum; has rofysed to exer- ¢lso the Government's option to: pay out sil- ver {1 any considerable amounts; ho hus re- stricted tho tssue of silver certificates; has made the Treasury Department a member of the New York Clearing-House, from which sliver Is excluded; and has by word, and letter, and act done all in his power to dis- courage the uso of silver in tho United States, But even this deflant opposition to the public sentiment of tho country, this per sistent catering ta Wall street in {ts demands for nn exclusive gold. standard, might bo overlooked, {f not forgiven, as tho Silver act Is Inn Httle danger of repeal by any Influence ho enn exert. Mr. Shorinan, however, is 0 vandldate for the Presidency, and he depends mainly for his suecess upon the influence of tho professtonal monoy-lenilers and money- shavers, the syndicates, aud the stock gam- blers of tho Eastern eltles, ‘Therefore, Mr, Sherman, by way of capturing this class, at tho opening of tho present Congress made the oxtraurdinary = recommendation — that Congress should strike from $350,000,000 of the greenback currency of the country its legat-tonder character! It was a high bid for the support of: Wall street, but. 9 fatal one addressett to tho producing and indus: trial classes of the country. Into this wild, irrational, and destrietive proposition he was able to drag the President, It is true Sher- mun proposed to leave the emasculated non- logal-tender greenbaeks in elreutation, but the President, taking more intelligent and Jogteal view of the proposition, with great consistency advised Congress that, If tho greenback be deprived of its” legat-tonder quality, It should be retired and burned. Upon this platform of the demonetization of 346 milltons of. greenbucks Mr, Sherman has presented himsvlé to the country ag a Presidential candidate, That scheme is the distlnguishing policy on which he ts to be n candidate, and on which hts election is to be advocated by the Republican party in caso he secures the nomination, Tux Cittcaco Trung, owing no alle- gidnes to Mr. Sherman personally, and ex- tremely anxious for the snecess of tho Re- publican party, ling opposed the nomination of this gentleman because ft considers that hils candidacy would bo Hke a millstone tled to tho neck of the party. Lt is highly in- probable that Mfr, Sherman would recetye an Electoral yote fram any State between the Allegheny and Rocky Mountains’ upon his Issues of nbolition of silyer money and de- monetization of greenbucks; which would {uvolve a contraction of the eoln and paper legal-tentdor curfency exceeding four luin- dred millions of doftars, which would. pro- duce ruin to every industria! interest und every legitimate enterprise, 11s nomination would unite solidly att the elements of oppo- sition nguinst hiscontraction issues; tt would force masses of Republicans to vote against his election; it would be the signal and the fuvttation fora Democratle conquest, of the entire Western States, and, tle success of that party being guaranteed by that nomina- tlon, Sherman would be as disastrously de- feated In tho Enstern States a3 at the West, ‘Tus Tamuns has thought that, if tt were possible’ that Mr. Sherman, by the uso of oillclal patronage, could secure enough dele- gates from the rotten boroughs of the South, and from the Custom-Iouses and revenue ollices of the country generally, to obtain the nomination at the Chicago Convention, It would bea National .catumity, because ron- dering the defent of the Republleans and the success of the Democrats certatutles beyond all dispute. Belleving this, Tins ‘Trimune has so stated, and has so represented the cage to the peaple of the West, and his done what It ean to warn the Republicans of tho country against the disastrous consequences of the nom{nation of Mr. Sherman, That gentleman, however, seus perfectly oblivious to the sentiment of the voters in regard to lls contraction schemes, and be- ileves thom to be singularly popular; he can’t see beyond Wall street, or think beyond its Influences, Ie does not understand why any one should oppose him for President, and, therefore, assumes that there must be some personal motive or malice fur the oppo- sition of Tire Trune, Maving explained tho opposition on this hypothesis, and told his henchmen and “boomers” about lls lnaginary conilict with the editor of Tie Thus some years ago, he now finds him- self compelled to stick te the story through thick and thin, Mr, Sherman cau spare his rage. ‘The peuple of this country ‘are not “booming” for him. ‘Lhe country can never be in any danger of his election. ‘Tho only cause for aldara in his case has been that he might convert the Convention into a sort of Bonrd of ‘Treasury and revenue officers and First Nation! Bank Syndicate, and thon, in nomlnating him, defeat the Republican party, =, THE INEQUALITIES OF THE ENGLISH FRANCHISE, ‘The English papers contain a curlous Par liamentary document, yecently issued by ono of the members, setting forth by namo the several counties and Parliamentary boroughs dn the United Kingdom, thelr areas in squaro iulles, the number of members they return, aud much statistical Information about their weulth and popylution, As compared with our own. equallty of representation and the roagonablo rules that govern It, tho inequal- ity of representation in England Is partleular- ly notleeable, The London Dunes says: “Tho paper contains twenty-six pages crowd- ed with figures, and almost every figure’ a distinct, separate outrage upon symmetry and proportion and right reason.” A fow illustrations will show the astonish- jug inequalitlesof thofranchise, Dudley has 15,000 voters and one member; Durham, 2,000 voters and two members; and Evesham, 788 voters, with the saino representation as Dud- ley, Tho Towor Hamlets havea population of 391,700, and ‘Tiverton and ‘Truro, with a Population of 10,000, have equal representa- tiverights with the largerborough, Wednes- bury, the largest of all the singly represent. ed boroughs, with 116,600 inhabftants and %,000 voters, counts for no more In the elect- oral system than Iuarwich or Marlborough with afow hundred voters, ‘his disparity runs through the entire list of counties and boroughs, ‘The inequalities could not be more glaring If tho names and figures had been shaken up ina box and thrown out together at haphazard. A comparison of population with electors in England, Scotland, and Wales shows that about onvu person in eleven enjoys the franchise. In ¢lttes and parlia- mentary boroughs the average rises to about one porson ingeven, Ireland, of course, Is the Worst treated in this, ug she Ig {n everything else, by the land and monvy aristocracy of Great ritalin, Sho has about one votwr fn every twenty-tlve of the whole population, and about one in every fourtesn of the vor- ough population, The English and Scotch borough franchise {s merely 9 householding franchise without reference ‘to value, In Jrelund the holdings must represent a clear yearly yalue of four pounds: to entitle the holder to tho franchise. As the ‘dimes saya; “This rule, though It would scarcely dlatran- chiso avy Scutchuan or Englishman, is fatal wot it TUESDAY, MARCH 30, a 1880—TWELVE PAGES.\, to tho political rights of good many Iris! men, whose hovels and mud cablns fall short in vatuo of the statutable four pounds.” Ire- land, however, ling ong set-off to this in the possession of half a dozen of the most rotten boroughs on tho whole ist. The smaltest English borough hag 689 voters, while’ the smallest Irish borough has but 142, and yet ty as fully represented ns some of the boroughs having thousands of voters. Another curious inconsistency is shown In the easo of Kyo which, though by. no means the smallest of the English boroughs, contributes only £49 per year to the Inhabited house duty, while Murlborough, thasmaltlestot all the boroughs, contributes almost £309, Tha same inequall- they also exist (n arons. Some boroughs are twlee ns largo ns entire countics. The bor- ough of East Retford, for instance, covers 825 square miles, while tho County of Rut- land covers only 148, and anothor county, Enst Surrey, has but 120 square mites, ‘These statistics present a very fatr view of thenstonishing Inconsistency and Injustica of the electoral franchise, Muoh of it §s due to tho fact that it isarelic of old times, the same conditions being handed down,: ant much mora of It to tho fiet that while some places, which were onte of a large degree of {niportaney, litve shrunk: away to insignifi- cance, they alill retain thelr old rights pur- talning to tho frauchige and exercise as much huluence ng the new places which have grown up and outstripped them, It imatters little, however, what the causes’ are, since thero fs no disposition to make any change in the representation. ‘Tho Timea snys: “The process wo are aware is not perfect, and we havo no belief It can be made perfect. Power belongs {n a certain sense to the good and the wise, but ft belongs In a much moro real senso ta thoso who have or who enn continue to get it Into tholr hands.” ‘Che franchise Is controlled =by wealth, influence, or membership In a corporation, and It is safe to say that {t will never be willingly givan up, ng it would take away from them an ascend: encyand control which tn England ara be- Meved to be the prerogatives of thonristocrncy. The inequality marks very distinetly the dif- ference between tho. English system of gov- ernment and our own, where {he peoply ara sovereign, Ifthe franclilse were equallzed In Grent Britutn there would be sonia hope of reform in the present abuses practiced by the landed aristocracy; but so long ns the good ness and wisdom ‘are monopolized by them there Is little hope for the bad and unwise victims, who are ground down to tho yery dust, aud show their Ingratitude by starving, ——— THE MOBBING OF PARNELL. Tho Irish are an unfortunate people in more senses than one. Somo of thelr mis- fortunes make a strong appeal to alt who sympathize with the oppressed and suffering; others are of achnracter to chill the esteem of Americans, and fil their friends with dls- may and despair. ‘The recent attack upon Mr. Parnell when he attempted to address a mecting in Wexford County was a consplen- ous manifestation of the factional and unrea- soniug spirit whieh constitutesone of the une fortunate characteristics of tho Irish people. The event will do :much injury to the Irish cause fn this country, and those who enter- tain the warmest feelings for the poor strug. gling and oppressed pensants will find it dim. cult to'exeuse tho gross outrage upon thelr best and wisest leader. IInd Mr. Parnell: ‘appeared before the peo- ple of Wexford alufply asa member of Par- liament and a “ {foe Rule urging the claims of one of the contesting candidates froin that district;-he would have been en- Utled to courteoug freatment, and, under ordinary elreumstances, it would have been n disgraceful oxhibttion of Ingratitude to hoot, egg, andsbeat him. But Par- nell’s claims to “consideration from tho Irish: people “nto “far “greater * thn’ those of most of thelr piblic men, Io has been the apostle In this country of the cause of Irish emanelpaticti from tho fron heel of Landocracy. He milst be aceredited by fm- partial men with disfiterested motives, He is hiinself a landlord, but ho tins espoused tho side of tho tenauls. Hels aman of wealth and of the patriclun gins by birth, but ho has entered heartily intg tho struggle of the op- pressed poor agains, their, oppressors. He has all the politteal preferment which he can hope for asan Irlsly:patriot, ‘Tho result of his misston to the United States hns been tho collection of several hundred thousand dollars of famine rellet money and at least one ship-lond of food:for the starving Irish. Another result which will be still more important in the end Is, that ho has aroused a widespread publiq'sentiment in the United States In favor of thnd reform tn Ireland which cannot fall to exert a powerful In- fluence in England. Tispite of these eminent services, a mob of his own people attack him atonv of his first appearances upon hls re- turn to his native Innd. ‘Tho fact is a sorry commentary on the perverse {impulses of the Insh character, ’ Af the dispatches that come to tho New York Herald ure to bo believed, then Mr Parnell has assumed a * dictatorial attitude” since his return home, Even If this be so, it. will not excuse the shameful, lawless, brutal nssault that hus beon ninde upon him. But it is notorlous that tho advices which como to the Now York Herald are of Tory inspiration, and that Journal has a special and porsonal motive ‘for pursuing and mis- representing Me, Parnell. 210 has certainty. earned the right to siipport one Home-Rulo candidate against another in any district In Treland without boing subjected to indignity and violence, Mad 9 shutlar attack been made upon any leading statesman Jn this country, no matter under what elreum- stances, It wonld hive been denounced as an outrage by all decent men, nd would have stone iafinit damage to any cruse In the name of which it had been committed, ‘Lhe Irish Mome-Rulers can seareely hopo to galn any- thing by it. i it is easy to understand from this single display of violent temper why no patriotic moveinent among that people has over pre- vailed agalust English opprossion, Landlord ism in Ireland hag its strongest support in tho dissensions and pasafons of the people, Sectional and religious quarrels svem to bo regarded ng sacred legacies by the Irleh. They aro permitted ‘to take precedence of natlonal interests and the common welfare, They are brought over tho sca to America and exert thelr intluetco upon ward polltics in any American clty where tho Irlsh voto is importint,.
