Liabilities, THE weather in Ireland is unprecedentedly favorable to the growing crops, and an abundant harvest is expected. By the explosion of a steam fire-engine at Pittsburg last evening four firemen were badly scalded, one in all probability fatally. Tr is asserted that the Pope has advised the German Ultramontanes to refrain from voting on Bismurck's bill for the modification of the May laws. Tue St. Gothard Tunnel is giving way in various parts. It isthought that it will take two years to remedy the defects so as to insure the satoty of travel through it. Tix Radicals and Ministerialists of the Italian Parliament have effected a corlition, and tho Budget Committee will consist of sixteen ‘Ministerialists, niue Hadicals, and only five Con- servatives, THREE Mohammedans who attempted to kill an Englishman have been convicted by the Turkish authorities, and two of them have been sentenced to fifteen and one to seven years’ im- prisonment.

The Mussulmans in the League were Opposed to so bold a measure. Sosse 53,000 persons have heen added to the population of this country by immigration from Europe during this month. This is the largest addition from the same source for any one month in the Nation's histo —— KEARNEY was serenaded by the “ Work- ingmen ” of San Francisco last evening, and in a harangue delivered at the Sand-Lots promised, 28 was anticipated, to continue the agitation with which his name isso intimately associated. —_ A CYCLONE passed over the district about six miles northwest of Evansville yesterday aft- ernoon, blowing down several barns and dwell- ings and doing much damage to other property. One person was Killed and two others seriously injured. Ir is now definitly settled that Prince Leopold aud Princess Louise will ieave Toronto Monday for Chicago. The Prince is said to be * very uninteresting in appearance. But he isa Prince, and will doubtless attract attention not- withstanding. Tne Millers’ Exposition will open at Cin- einnati to-morrow, with a largo display of mill machinery from England, Scotland. Canadu, and Germany. After the show {s over a party of millers will visit the wheat-growing districts of the Northwest. Tue Leadville miners’ strike has nearly collapsed, most of the men returning to work at the old rates on the promise of the mine-owners tosubmit hereafter to an arbitration.

Rochefort writes Trom Geneva to Andrieux, the Police Prefect at Paris, promising to repay his son's wounds by slapping Andrieux in the face, —————— ‘Tue memorial services in aid of the Gen. Meade monument fund held in the Academy of Music at Philadclphie last evening were at- tended bya brilliant gathering. The orator of the evening was ex-Goy. Chamberlain, of Maine, who delivered an eloquent eulogy on Gen. Meade and the soldiers who died for their county. Speeches were also delivered in re- sponse to repeated calls by President Hayes, Gens, Sherman, Haucock, Woodford, and Attor ney-General Devens. Tue Grant boom weakened very Dercepti- bly yesterday. The third-term backers were far less confident than during the preceding days. ‘The delegates from other cities, coming in con- tact with the people of Chicago, have found the feeling against the third term far more deep-seated aud determined “than they were prepared for, and many who hsd made up their minds to vote for Grant were perceptibly shaken in their determination. The dyeernination of a majority of the members of so¢ Nationa! Committee not to submit to the dictation of Don Cameron was unother blow | against the third term, and, taken with the mis- sionary work being done’ and the effect of Wednesday night's demonstrations, it seems now as if the defeat of the Senatorial triumvirate in the Convention was a foregone conclusion. Joun Brovenax, the well-known actor, is lying very ill at his home in New ¥qrk. His physicians have given up all hopes bis re- covery. Brougham is an Irishman by birth, having been born at Dublin in 184. He was exceedingly popuiar with the members of his profession, and stood very high in the opinion of lovers of histrionic art. Great alarm is felt for the safety of the settlers and miners in the vicinity of the North Park, Colorado, on account of the recent move- ments of the Utes. The settlers are badly pre- pared to offer any resistance to the hostiles, be- ing unarmed and unorganized. Gov. Pitkin hus sent forward some compunies of the State militia to aid the settlers in protecting thelr homes. ———e ‘Te coalition party of the Spanish Cortes has defined its policy. It favors the abolition of special laws and special courts, the codification and amendment of the criminal and civil code, the restoration to members of City Councils of the right to eloct Mayors.as in England, the ex- tonsion of the right of suffrage, and the carry- ing out of social and economic reform in Cuba. Even Spain begins to move. DECORATION-Day was generally observed throughout the country yesterday. At Phila- delphia the memorial services were attended by President Hayes, Secretary of War Ramsey, and Gens. Sherman, Pope, Stooum, and Chamberlain. The military men visited the grave of Gen. Meade, where Gen. Sherman made one of his usual neat speeches testifying to the worth of . the dead General as a man end a soldier. A CREMATION society is about to be organ- ized at St Louis: “A nutaber of prominent citi- zens of that burg met list evening and resolved that such an organization should be formed. ‘The members of the Society will probably agree that their own bodies shall be experimented on when they shufiic off the mortal coil. There Isa suspicion that St. Louis may have a sensation at last. Tur Japs seem to be desirous of having a Board of Trade. To learn how the “ machine is run” in this country three gentlemen from Japan visited the New York Produce Exchange yesterday. They will doubtless visit Chicaso and see how our “bulls” and “bears” get along. Failing to do this, they will fail in doing their full duty, and will return to their country with very inadequate views on running “cor- ners,” “*bulling" the market, and such devices. Savory, a Texas town on the Texas Pacific Railroad, was swept by a terrible cyclone Friday night. The town was completely wrecked. Nine persons were killed outright, and about sixty were wounded,—many of them fatally. The town consisted of some twenty business houses, and the same number of residences. The wants of the wounded and destitute were promptly at- tended to by the peoplo of Bonham and other neighboring towns. AupcL Ransan Kiran, the choice of the English Government for ruler of Afghanistan, does not seem to be very popular in that coun- try. Recently ho tried to raize a loan, but as only a very small portion of the required amount was forthcoming he grew angry and seized the goods of the merchants and forbade all trade between Bokhara and Cabul. His friendliness to the British seems to have bad much to do with the failure of his financial projects. Mn. CowLes, of the Cleveland Leader, says that John Sherman cannot carry Ohio if noni- inated. In proofof this statement he adduces some facts worth considering. .He says that 12,000 Republican Greenbackers of the State will certainly vote against Sherman, and that 30,000 Stalwart Republicans will not yote at all. Mr. Cowles also asserts that while the Germans of Ohio would be certain to vote for Blaine, they would as certainly vote against Grant. Write the second mate, two seamen, and two apprentices of the British ship Sophia, ly- ing at anchor at Philadelphia, were amusing themselves yesterday in the oil-room of the vcs- sel, one of the party thrust a red-hot poker into a barrel of kerosene, causing an immediate ex- plosion. The ojl-room and galley of the ship were demolished, and the cook, one of the sea- men, and the two apprentices were covered with burning ofl, They attempted to swim ashore, but all were drowned except tho sea- man. The second mate was also injured, and neither himself nor the seumen are expected to recover. ——— Tum anti-third-term, anti-Boss meeting at the base-ball grounds to-morrow evening will ‘be addressed by Mr. Frye, of Maine; the Hon. Fred Hassuurek, of Cincinnati; Wayne Mac- Veagh, of Pennsylvania; Capt. Thomas, of this State; and several other eminent gentlemen. The mecting promises to be one of the largest and most carnest ever held in this city, and will be a fitting sequel to the demonstration of Wednesday evening. The Repubticuns of this city are thoroughly aroused at the attempt to deprive them of all representation in the coun- cils of the party, and no mincing language will be used in regard to tle outrage perpetrated at Springfield at the dictation of the Senatorial “ Boss.” Tne Court of Inquiry on the Whittaker case met in secret session yesterday and unani- mously agreed ona report holding (1) that the wounds inflicted were too slight to be the work of the persons whom Whittaker swore to have entered his room; @) it is not probablo that Whittaker would submit to ill-usage without making some outcry’; (3) that 2 person tied as he described himself to huve been could readily have released himself; (4) that from the testi- mony of the PostSurgeon the Court belleves that Whittaker feigned insensibility on the morning after the allegedwutrage; (3) there was not of- fered the slightest evidence to warrant the belief that anyof the other cadets or any outsider committed the outrage; (7) Whittaker himself could have inflicted self-mutilation; and finally the Court held the evidence of the experts as to Whittaker's handwriting conclusive. On re- ceiving and rending the report Gen. Schofield sent an order to Col: Luzelle, Commanaunt of the Cadet Corps, directing him to arrest. Whit- taker, which was immediately carried out. The findings of the Court were immediately for- warded to the War Department, and it is proba- ble that Whittaker will be dismissed the Academy in disgrace. From every part of the country come state- ments that the nomination of Gen. Grant would mean grave peril to the supremacy of the Re- pudlican party. The feeling of the country against the third-term idea and the dictation of the Senatoriul “ Bosses" is so strong that not even the loyrity of the Republican masses to the principles of the great party will stand the strain attempted to be put upon it. Nor is this fecling of hostility to machine rule and prac- tices confined to any one class or any one secuon of the country. It is as strong among the merchants and manu- facturers 48 among the laborers and the mechanics, among .the veterans of the War as. among the young men who have become voters since, Tus TrepoNne has endeavored to ascer- tain the feeling of the country in this matter, and prints in its news columns dispatches from every part of the Union, and the all but unan- imous expression among thinking men every- where Is that Grant does not even stand a fuir chance of election if nominated. His nomina- tion would place Llinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio among the doubtful States, and would, it is stated, insure New York, Indiana, Connccti- cut, and New Jersey to the Democrats, even should Tilden be the nomince. AT acaucus ofthe anti-Grant men of the National Committee held yesterday it was de- cided that a resolution should be offered at a meeting of the full Committee to-morrow in- structing the Temporary Chairman thatall ques- tions during the preliminary stages of the Con- vention should be decided by the individual vote of members of that body. There is no doubt that this resolution will be adopted by the whole Committee, as thirty-two saembers of the entire forty-seven are understood to be pledged to its support. It was resolved also that the reso- Tution should be submitted to Senator Cameron, and that a written piddge should be required of him to carry it out in letter and in spirit. Should he refuse, it is probable that the majority will depose him end select a Chairman who Will carry out their views. The anti-Grant mem- bersof the Committee have thus made a square issue on the unitruie, agd as far as their uction THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. ‘MAY 30, 1880—TWENTY PAGES. cangovern the Convention the rule wil! be ais- regarded. They aro fully determined to submit no longer to dictatorship on the part of the leader of the minority, and in this determina- tion they will have a powerful backing in the Convention, and their action will be indorsed by the great majority of the Republican party. ILLINOIS IN THE CONVENTION, Gen. Logan and his confederates, includ- ing Col. Fred Grant, affect to treat the con- troversy in the Illinois delegation as a mere question of enforcing the unit rule. But that is not the real question, The question pre- sented by the delegates from ten of the Hli- nois Congressiunal districts, eight of them being Republican, is that of the right of representation by districts, and the right of each Congressional district to appoint its own delegates. i The Republican party in Illinois held its first State Convention in 1836, At that Con- vention, and subsequently, in 1860, 1864, 1868, 1873, 1876, and in 1880, the delegates to the State Convention from each Congressional district met in a group or separate organized meeting, and, by ballot or otherwise, elected delegates to represent such Congressional district in the National Convention, A com- mittee of one member from each district met and recommended to the Convention four persons as delegates at large to the National Convention. These latter were ap- pointed by the Convention, but the appoint- ments by the Congressional districts were merely reported to the Convention as a mat- ter of record, and were never voted on by the Convention, their election being complete. In 1880, after the several Congressional districts had appointed their delegates to the Chicago Convention, the State Convention (thirty-six Cook County delegates being ex- cluded and their seats given to defeated can- didates), on motion of Logan, appointed a cuinmittee to report the names of delegates from: each Congressional district to tne Na- tional Convention. ‘This committee discarded and threw out the delegates chosen in ten Congressional districts and substituted twenty other delegates in their place from the minority factions in those districts. ‘The case presented by Illinois is the right of a majority of a State Convention to depose the delegates appointed by the several Con- gressional districts, and to appoint others. That is the usurpation committed. by the State Convention—an usurpation’ which violates the entire traditions, usages, and practices of the Republican party in this and in every other State, and which violates the traditions, precedents, and principles of the Republican party of the Nation. Representation in the National Convention of the Republican party is based upon the same general principles as representation in” the National Congress. It is apportioned ac- cording to population. Each State is award- ed one Representative in Congress, to be elected by the voters of each legully-defined Congressional district, and no. persons save voters resident in that district have any voice in the choice of that Representative. Each State is entitled to two members in the Senate, to be chosen by the Legislature of that State. In the election of Senators the Legislature has exclusive jurisdiction. In the election of Representatives the voters of each Congressional district haye jurisdic- tion. The call of the National Central Committee fully recognizes this distinction of the right of the districts to select thelr delegates in contradistinction to the authority of the State Convention to elect delegates for the State at large. The call says: Republicans, and ail who will codperate with them in supporting tho nomince of the party, are invited to chouse two delegutes from cach Con- gressional district, four at large from each State, two from each Territory, and’ two from the Dis- foeene Columbia, to represent themin the Con- Veution. The call is not, as Logan asserts, for a “convention of States”; itisa convention of Republicans, represented by delegates chosen from each Congressional district, and four from the State at large. In the Republican National Convention the members awarded to each State and to each Congressional district are double those in Congress; the Territories are awarded repre- sentation as in Congress, but have no dele- gates at large, as they have no Senators. ‘The right of instruction has never had any recognition in the Republican party, It was invented by the slaveholding States as a pro- tection to slavery. Ina few instances it was obeyed by a few Democratic Senators, but never by any Republican Senator. ‘The doc- trine ef instructions even in the days of its highest recognition never included Repre- sentatives; it only applied to Senators, who were instructed by the Legislatures. ‘The State Conventions of the Republican party stand towards the delegates to the National Convention as do the Legislatures of the States towards the Senators. State -Conventions may instruct delegates at large, as Legislatures may instruct Senators, and as the Republican party has always held the instructions of Senators by Legislatures in contempt, so the Republican party should hold the instruction even of delegates at dJarge with no higher respect. But never in the palmiest days of the doc- trine of instruction was it ever claimed that a State Legislature had power to instruct the Representatives chosen by the people of the several Congressional districts. These Repre- sentatives owe no allegiance as such to State Legislatures, nor are the Representatives to the National Convention chosen by Congres- sional districts bound to obey any arbitrary orders or mandates issued by the Bosses who run State Conventions, The district dele- gates are responsible alone to their con- stituents in their respective districts, But in Ulinois this prineiple of representa- tion was so grossly violated at the late Springfield Convention that there is no prec- edent for even an attempt at such a pro- ceeding. The action of that Convention in undertaking ta depose the delegates to the National Convention appuinted by half the Congressional districts of this State can only be likened to a proceeding by the Legis- lature of ilinois to depose the Representa- tives elected to Congress by ten of the Con- eressional districts of this State, and the appointment or election by the Legislature of other Representatives to take their places, It is only necessary to state the case to un- derstand the strict parallel between the at- tempt by a State Legislature to depose ten members of Congress elected by the people in as many districts of this State, and to ap- point ten other persons to take their places, and the usurpation by a State Convention to depose the represeniatives to the National Republican Convention of ten Congres- Slorial districts, and to appoint others in their place. How long would even the most partisan House tolerate the presence of representatives chosen by the State ‘Legis- lature, and how long would it exclude those elected by the people of the several dis- tricts? And how long will the National Republican Convention tolerate the presence of so-called district representatives appointed by a State Convention and exclude those elected by the Republican voters of these ten Congressional districts ? 2 On what principle will that Convention ask the disfranchised voters of these ten districts to vote for a candidate next November who will owe his nomination to the exclusion of their duly elected répresentatives ? Illinois will be represented at the Conyen- tion by “ four delegates at large” from “ the State” and by two delegates chosen froin each of the hinetven Congressional districts in the State. How can the Convention, with- out violating the terms of the call of the National Committee, without violating every principle of American representation, and especially of the Republican party, sanction this gross usurpation ? Bear in inind that the packed State Con- vention accepted the delegates chosen by nine Congressional districts, and then arbi- trarily, at the command of ‘their Boss, threw out the delegates elected by the remaining ten Congressional districts! Will the Republicans of the several States and Territories of the Union infilet this wan- ton outrage upon the Republicans of Illi- nois? Illinois is the selected victim of this villainy this year, Let that unprecedented outrage be sanctioned and approved, and it will become an adjudged precedent for a like outrage upon Indiana; Ohio, Massachu- setts, or Pennsylvania at the next Conven- tion, The rights and safety of the Repub- lieans in every district in the country and the very existence of the party itself depends upon defeating this disfranchisement now, and stamping the seal of ita disapproval upon such anti-Republican act. A THIRD-TERM NOMINATION, AND THEN! The advocates of the nomination of athird- term candidate by the Chicago Convention affect to find some encouragement in their enterprise by claiming that the Democrats are certain to nominate Tilden, who, in turn, will be certain to Jose the vote of New York because of the Kelly defection. We wish to call attention to the danger of making a nomination, open to serious opposi- tion in the Republican party, resting merely on the expectation that the Democrats will nominate a weak man, _ There is not 2 Democrat in the United States who hopes for the election of a Demo- cratic President whose desires do not rest strongly on the oxpectation that the Repub- licans will nominate a third-term candidate. The selection of a weak Republican candi- date, because the Democrats will probably nominate a man threatened by a serious de- fection in his own party, isan exposure of the Republican cause to a possibility of defeat wholly unnecessary, and is of itself a most ill-advised policy. In 184 the Whig party entered the campaign with the most unlim- ited expectations of success. Van Buren had at that time secured more than two-thirds of the delegates to the Democratic Convention; his nomination was almost a certainty, and the pronounced defection in New York and other Democratic States rendered his defeat equally certain. Therefore the Whigs were jubilant. But the Democratic Convention did not nominate Van Buren; they nomi- nated Polk, and Mr. Clay was disastrously defeated. But, even if the Republicans shall nomi- nate a third-term candidate, and the Demo- rats shall be so obliging as to numinate ‘Til- den, and Kelly shall continue his bolt, will the nomination of a third-term candidate be a guaranty of an election? ‘There are 309 Electoral votes, of which, in 1876, Mr. Hayes got 185 and Mr. Tilden got 184, Mr, Tilden then received 35 votes from New York, 15 from Indiana, 9 from New Jersey, and 6 from Connecticut, making a total of 65 votes from the Northern States. At the same time Mr, Hayes obtained the votes of Louisiana (8), Florida (4), and South Carolina (7), a total of 19 votes from the Southern States. In the Northern States Mr. Hayes car- ried Ohio (23 votes) by a majority of 7,000, California (6 votes) by a majority of 2,769, and Oregon (3 votes) by a majority of 1,050. It will be seen that Mr. Hayes, against whom there wits no Republican op- position, obtained, these 3t, votes in thesé three States by less than 11,000 votes. In 18%6 the vote of New York was essential to the election of Tilden because of the prob- able loss of Southern votes, and, despite this loss, he was defeated by only one mujority. In 1880 the South is so solid that the 138 votes may be counted for any Democratic candi- date against any Republican candidate. This gives the Democratic candidate 138 votes to start with, leaving him wanting only 47 votes more to be elected. If he obtain New York (35) and Indiana (15) he will have more than are needed to elect him. But many Grantites are speculating on the probability of ‘Til- den’s nomination and on John Kelly defeat- ing him in New York, and never once reflect- ing that, with certain defeat in Ohioin Octo- ber ona third-term issue, the battle would be lost in November, no matter whom the Dem- ocrats were running. ‘The demoralizing con- sequences of defeat in Ohio would beirrepar- able. The Republican Convention will assume a terrible responsibility by Inviting, and pro- voking, and defying a deep-rooted and wide- spread hostility to the election of any third- term candidate. This objection, while exist- ing generally in all the Republican States, pre- vails strongly and more determinedly among the Republicans of Ohio, Indiana, New Tlampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, and California, from which States only one third- term delegate has been elected to the Chi- cago Convention. These six States will give the following Electoral votes, and gave ma- Jorities in 1876 as stated: 1876. Electoral States, voles. | Hayes, | Tilden, maj. } maj. 22 1b 6 9 California, 8 New Hampshire 5 Electoral votes... 6 By the nomination of’ a third-term candi- date at the Chicago Convention these 63 Electoral votes, which may all be carried by any other Republican candidate, are not only placed in extreme peril, but are so confident- ly expected to be won by the Democrats that they feel they ean even nominate Tilden and elect him in spite of ali that Kelly can do, and without the vote of New York. Of these 63 Electoral votes, Tilden received 30 in 1876 against a candidate who received every Re- publican vote in these States. : The loss of the State of Ohio by the Re- publicans will elect Tilden, even if New York vote for the third-term candidate. The decision in Ohio will turn on maintaining a nominal majority of only 7,516 votes. Is the success of the Republican party in 1880 to be periled by forcing upon the Republicans of Ohio @ candidate against whom a vast ma- jority of the party in the North protests, and against whom an active Republican oppodj- tion exists, and where defeat is foreshadowed almost beyond a doubt-? If in October, 1880, the small Republican majority in Ohio be Overcome at the State election, thus indicating the vote in Novem- ber, the election of the Democratic candidate will have become so assured a ceriainty that, even if it be Tilden, Kelly’s bolt, having lost all possible potency, will shrivel away, and thus, through thefolly of defying public sen- ment by nominating a third-term candidate, the Government in all,its branches will be delivered over to the Democratic party. eee Ixsryvatioxs are thrown out in certain quarters that the Chicdgo people are taking an unfair advantage of the location of the National Convention here to obtrude their local influence upon the deliberations of that body. This assumed aggression {s cited asa characteristic manifestation of Chicago “cheek.” Such an imputation is altogether uujair, To begin with, Chicago is one of the great municipalities of tliis‘country, and has aright to be heard under every and all cir- cumstances. In the next place, Chicago may be counted upon to vote the Republican ticket if that ticket be fairly made up bya decided majority. But these two ‘cireum- stances alone would not have called out any notable exhibition of local preferences, and Chicago’s sentiments would have been sup- pressed toa certain extent under ordinary conditions. Chicago, with the rest of the country, however, now represents tree Con- gressional districts In this State (and would represent four under a new apportion- ment), which have been disfranchised by trickery and fraud. There are seven other Congressional districts in this State which are in the same condition, An out- raged and misrepresented people demand a hearing from the National Convention. The Republicans of Chicazo would be as deter- mined and aggressive in this matter if the Convention were located in New York, on the Atlantic, or in San Francisco, on the Pacific coast. The fact that the Convention happens to be held in this city ought not to operate to suppress the popular protest against a great wrong. There would be no justice in that. It may be that, by reason of the Convention’s location in this city, the delegates from other sections of the country will be more fully informed as to the nature and circumstances of-the outrage that has been committed, and more thoroughly im- pressed with the intensity of the popular in- dignation. thereat, than they would be at a greater (listance. But this circumstance will only assist in righting the wrong that has been done, and in.that way Chicago may possibly contribute more to the rescue of the Republican party from a fatal error than all the rest of the country can contribute. This isa worthy missiow® and in the end it will be duly appreciated by all men who nave the interests of the Republican party at heart. ‘THE CORNER IN VOTES. The political firm of Conkling, Logan & Cameron is working for Grant. as a trio of local firms are supposed to be working for Keene. The one has undertaken to control the wheat markets of the world, andespecial- ly that of Chicago. The other has engaged ina gigantic speculation to control the voice of the Republican party in the selection of our next President, and all their efforts have been concentrated upon the vote to be taken in this city during the coming week. The success of both isabout equally problematical. In each case the issue depends upon condi- tious which the wire-workers may have taken into the account, ‘buteof which they are by no means the masters. They have gone “Jong” to an almost fabulous extent, and bargained for a great deal which the parties who sold it did not and do not own, and will probably never be be able to deliver. Each triumvirate has had its “ tailers” orfollowers, who have whooped and hurrahed themselves hoarse, but to little purpose. The political trio has put forth efforts which would be herculean if not made by pigmies, doing their utmost to move heaven and earth to the accomplishment of their purpose. ‘hey have succeeded in sway- ing the market in the direction they wished; but not to the desired extent.

A. minority of the Convention, consisting of nine Congressional districts, with the con- nivance and codperation of Logan’s bolters, proceeded to appoint Grant delegates for the State at large and for their own districts— then rejected the anti-Grant delegates who were uppointed by the legul representatives of the ten other districts of the State, and substituted Grant delegates to misrepresent these ten districts. ‘Logan’s minority was not satisfied with usurping the rights of the popular iajority, but actually insisted upon disfranchising this popular majority alto- gether and absolutely. No “unit rule” and no form ot instructions would alone meet Seizer’s demands, but he must have the privilege of appointing third-termers to mis- represent anti-Grant districts. He would not consent that the ten districts opposed to third term should have the smallest chance of being represented in the Convention. This is the Trisunr’s ground for the fight against Seizer’s usurpation, Mis personality does not enter into it except as he hag aroused popular indignation at the fraud which he inspired and directed. When the National Convention shall understand the controversy as thoroughly 4s it is understood by the Republicans of Illinois who have been disfranchised, the indignation will be shared. by delegates from all parts of the country. In fact, ithas already been voiced by the Kepublican press from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. Itis easy enough to divine Mr. Storey’s purpose. in seeking to divert attention from the reaf merits of the IHinois contest. That person runs a newspaper which is ostentatiously “independent”? between elec- tions, but always intensely Democratic at the critical moment. Like other Democratic newspapers everywhere, Mr. Storey’s paper would rejoice with great joy over Grant’s nomination, If Storey can make any dele gates to the Chicago Convention believe that the Illinois contest has no other basis than that of personal antagonism to Logan, and- thereby belittle or prejudice that contest, he will have advanced Grant’s chances for se- curing the nomination in the most effective way possible to him, and will thus have served the Democratic party, which controls him at election time. This is the seeret of his defense of Selzer against the latter’s “personal enemies.” Mr. Stoney, for some purpose best known to himself, is using his Democratic newspa- per just now to impress upon the Republican delegates, who are arriving every day to at- tend the Chicago Convention, that the IIl- nois contest fs based upon some vague per- sonal opposition to Gen. Logan, which the editorof ‘fun .[rmuNe is represented as sharing with others who protest against the outrase committed in the Illinois. State Con- vention under Logan's dictation. Storey ad- mits that the delegates from the other States are “surprised at the magnitude and bitter- ness of the local. opposition” to the third- term tricks practiced in this State, and he seeks to belittle and neutralize this opposi- tion by ascribing it. to “personal dislike” and “personal animosity.” The manifest design in all this is to divert attention from the real issue in the Dlinois contest. This scheme isa very-weak and transpa- rent shai, the motive for which will be re- vealed before the Presidential campaign shall be far advanced, and possibly before the Chi- cago Convention shal! have adjourned. Tue Trrpune has no personal quarrel with Gen. Logan. Had anybody on Mr. Wash- burne’s behalf in this State—had Blaine in his own State of Maine, or Sherman in Obio —undertaken to secure the’ same advantage by the same-means which Logan has sought | to obtain for the third-term candidate in Iili- nois, by the fraudulent suppression of the popular: majofity of the Republican party, ‘Tre Trmene would have been equally out- spoken in exposing’ the fraud, and in de- nouncing the men responsible therefor. T1E ‘TRIBUNE needs no personal motive for con- demning partisan: villainy. The welfare of the Republican party and the interests ot public morality furnish sufficient induce- ments for any effort which Tue TRIBvvE may make to ‘avert the fruition of a fraud which threatens ruin to Republican princi- Peed Senator Logan been content with fair and honorable effort to advance the P cause of the third-term candidate in Illinois, | 10 Oi ting tho firetatroer Tne Trmone might have questioned the wisdom of his preference, but it would not have arraigned him for sharp practice. Had he made a struggle for the common interests | 1 of the Republican party, Tue TRIBUNE would have been with him heartily in the conscious- ness that his experience and ability.in the art of organization would have been of service to the party cause. But he chose to resort to the Southern Democratic practices of bolt- ing, fraud, and bulldozing in order to impose his personal preference upon an unwilling majority in this State, and this is the expla- nation, not merely of Tr TripuNe’s antago- nism to him at this time, but also of the wide- | 2 spread and determined protest of the people | ‘ he has outraged. Senator Logan abandoned hits seat in the Senate some weeks ago and came to Chicago to take personal direction of the Grant “boom.” It was an act of questionable pro- priety, but nevertheless he had a right as a citizen and 2 Republican to go thus far. He had also the right tolend the aid of his ex- perience and influence to a “boom” which ‘was not spontaneous enough to stand alone. But he did not stop at the exercise cf his own rights. Ile resorted to foul means to win a victory over the majority. He ordered a bolt of the beaten minority from the Cook County Convention, without provocation or pretext, because he was beaten at the Cook County primaries. This bolt was the basis of a scheme for seizing the State Convention. The ninety-two regular delegates from Cook County were excluded from the State Con- vention in order to give Logan a majority of the Convention that he could not otherwise | 1 have had. The majority thus fraudulently obtained was used to admit a sufficient num- ber of bolters to control the Convention. Then the “gentleman: from Jackson” rode roughshod over ten Congressional districts, and substituted his personal henchmen for delegates, then, instead of giving him dority necessary to carry the State, those dis, tricts, denied thelr lawful representation, wilt permit the Democratic end of the State to elect: him if it will.

Much feeling is exhibited by certain parties who have tried to settle with the longs, and been unable to fill except as they could buy up car-lots from the eurrent arrivals. The unwillingness to gquare up may perhaps indicate that higher prices will be asked on Monday. The ruling rate for May during two or three days past has been about $1.14 per bushel; while for delivery in June, which may mean next Tuesday, the same wheat can be bought for about 81.0244. ‘Some operators are inclined ‘to thin that the longs will deliver the-great- er portfin of the wheat in store within thed next two weeks, having already sold most of Fé it for June delivery, and perhaps sold short in the hope of filling more cheaply under the is depression caused by delivering out the wheat, THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION.
