Tho voto hy which tho House refused to cuneur In tho Senate amendment as to the reletting of inali- routo contracts was reenusldered, and tho Ainondinent was then agreed to by #& small mnjority, Tho. lobbyists had had time enough to collect wl tholr. forces and to put into requisition all thelr poculine methods, and the result Isto their ndvantage and to tho dleadvantage of tho taxpayer. - Had the mom- hers of the Appraprintion Committee been true to thelr professions the amendwent would have been defeated, but at the Inst moment thoy showed 1 wonderful lack of tnterest, and tho lobbyists, contractors, ond — corruptionists triumphed. Srsaton Voonnkes delivered one of his churacteristic harangues in the Scnate yester- day on tho negro oxodus, in which tho usunl gnil-nnd-wormwood references were mndo to the Repnbilenn party, ‘Tho speech was uvident- ly intended for distribution among the Moosicr consiituenta of “the Tall Syca- more," as ho refused to nllow any Inter- ruptions.

A vast mn- Jority of the people of tho United States weru longing to know whore he sprouted. ‘Chis grent Cunvention assembled prjucipally: to bear frost hha on tho, all-important topfe. The Conven- tlon was pleased to hour whore ho sprouted; now it would tke to bo informed when ho sprouted, where he sprouted, what was the oocnsion of his sprouting, and whetber he expeets to sprout any more. There is plenty of tine. It isto bo hoped be will not hurry in giving the desired ine formation, But let hiny not neglect to give it. When ald he put forth the tender buds of prom- fee? What soll nurtured the delicate spark? Did kindly aktos bend over the shoot? Worn tho stars propitious? Has tho growth | beon steady urd healthy? Thoso are questions that tho Committes on Crodentints will, it {sto be hoped, propound to tho goutioman from Juck- son carly thia morning. ‘Tne minority report of the Committes on Crertentinis, it ischuritable to presume, was in- tended to waste the time of the Convention und wonr out its putionce, If it was not, It was poor testhuony to tho mbility or skill of its nuthor, It was long, rambling, dlifuse, and Jncoherent. It contained an Infinit doal of nothing, Parte of it wero totally irrclovant, Other parts wero recognizabla~ only aa the caat- of arguments of somo ancient and moss-backed Democrat in favor of tho exploded doctrine of BState-sovorcignty. It js truly astonishing that those urgumonts, 60 foreign to tho genius and history of tho Kepub- Mean party, should have been brought Into a formal document prosented by membors of n Republican Convention. The fact that thoy wero so Introduced and used ts evidence of tho doa- peration to which the uu-Republican elalmants froin {tlinols sro driven. We cannot belloye that they aro used seriously, or with any idea that tho Hepubifean party, in the full yigor of manhood, wilh adopt tha pringlples which it was organized to put down, ond did put down, in ita youth, Tho minority of tho Committeo, not Laving good arguments, chose to usu bad ones, 1t 1s for the Conyantion to do elde how Jong, with due regurd to ite dignity, it enn pormit this trithng spirit, which is ovidentiy with » purpose, to provall, If it shell take up the reine as ft has the right to do, its wholo bual- noss can Do concluded to-duy; {f not, It may stuy bere till tho miluidle of noxt wook.

SOUND AND SENSE IN THE CONVENTION, The succession of ‘prolonged cheers for two of the rival candidates for tha nominn- tion, whieh was the sensation of Inst night's session, thongh unreasoning In the main, had some significent features, ‘This tournamont of nolso was started tn the first instance by Gen. Logan,gvho gra- tultonsly lugged In the nameof his candidate ina specch ostensibly directed tos question of tine for a serluits disenssion. Further on he gave a delegate from California a legiti- mate opportunity for bringing out the namo of the Senator from Malne. ‘The Blabie erowid, both in the Convention and In the gnl- lerles, joined in a spontaneous outburst of shouts nid applause that so far exceeded the first Grant demonstration that the partisans of the Intter felt It Ineumbent on thom to outdo their rivals nt tho first opportunity. This occurred during tho speech of Mr. Storrs on the [linuisease, ‘The Grant crowd were utterly unmindful of the Intencss of tho hour (nitdnight) and tha Imitation that had been placed. upon the discusston, and were governed by the single purposo of gut ting up n longer and a tonder shout than tho mentton of Binine’s namo had elicited. ‘This effort was. encouraged by the Grant lenters on the tloor of the Convention, ‘The banners hearing the names of the States wore seized and raised on igh in the ease of the “instructed” and Democratic States. Mr. Conkling was especially consple- uons in inciting his faction to demon- stration, and’ the shouts, waving’ of handkerchiefs, and other manifestations of contagious enthuslasm were kept up some ten or fiftwen minutos. At tho first sign that,the Grant shout was subsiding, somebody cried out, “ Three cheers for Blaine !? ana thon the other side started, The Enstern managers of the third- term movement then learned for tho first time the real quality of a Western yell, ‘Tho Blaine shont Insted between twenty and twenty-five minutes, enlivened by a great variety of noises and decorated by the flont- ing of flags, The most signifeant part ofthe Blaine demonstration, however, was the fact that the State banners which were waved in his behalf wore not merely the most numerous, but represented the Republican majorities. ‘This {act counted ‘ns more fin- portant to those who stopped to reason about the matter than all tho shouting, ‘The demonstration, which turned Into o sort of lung-test and resulted In showing that tho nntl-Grant mun were tha “best stayors,” served in the end to consume the time that had been set aside for the discus- slon of the Illinols contest. Fortunately this case hus been so thoroughly discussed ever since tho Springfield Convention was held that It was thoroughly underatood., ‘Tho first tangible result of the prolonged session came in tho vote on tho First District of Istnots. It resulted In the adinisston of the regular district delegates by a volte of $56 opposed and ust in favor of thelr adinission. In thts vote the delegates from Kansas refrained from voting beeause there wag n similar contest in thelr own State, buf sixtoen bogus delegates from LIl- nois hnd the shamelessness to vote on tho proposition which directly involyed the right to the seats, But this did not save thom. ‘Lhe case of the First District was regarded for sume reason as weaker for the district delegates than any of tho othar cases, and It was for thls reason that a separate vote was demanded, In somo of the Stutes [It was ovident that votes were recorded against the admission of the con- testants by delegates whose convictions are known to be on the other. sido. This was provably with soma ulterlor design In securing votes from the Grant men when they desert their candidate; but those Insincere votes were not humerous cnough to defeat tho principle of district representation which was In issue, That principle has now been definitively ap- proved as the Republican doctrino of popu- lnr representation, It would scem that balloting on the noml- nations must begin toxlay. ———_——_——— “THE GENTLEMAN FROM ILLINOIS.” “Tho gentleman from Lllinols,” better known tp this Stato ns “the delegate from duckson County,” sought yesterday after- noon te consume the time’ and monopolize the utlention of the National Convention to the same extent, though notin the same manner, that “wie gentleman from Now York” had done on the previous dny, If it Ue tho common purpose of the third- term faction to procrastinate the work of the Convention, “to starve out the Antis,” as thoy call it, and weary tho members thercof, ns well na disgust the general public, they may be credited with a purtial success, In doing this, however, they havo In every In- stance suffered discoinfiture and weakened the cause which they pretend to represent, ‘They have displayed, too, a slngular lack of tact m management, and a doleful incapacity to interest or entertaln the Convention and the public, . It}seufe tosay thatno National Conven- tion, nor any other body of men of equal in portance, ever submitted to so shameless an ubuge of Its thine and patience ag "the gon tleman from Ilinels’put upon tho Chicago Conventlon yesterday during two mortal hours, It was an obtrusion of a personal matter of no possibly concern to anybody, and of no intlucnee or bearing upon the work for which the Convention wus called to- getlfer, It guve John A, Logan an oppor tunity to parade himsvlf before the audience, but the “exhibition,” us Gen, Henderson, of Jowa, vory properly charneterized it, was neither nmusliag nor edifylng, Tho Committes on Credontinis had re- ported. ‘There wero certulu questions upon which there was 0 dissent In the Commit- tea, and it wos very properly proposed that the Convention should adopt do much of the report as had = beon unanimously ‘ngroed upon, ‘his portion included tho bare statement that the objections to the ad- mission of the four dulogutes-at-large from Ulinols were not auflluiently made out to warrant the vacating of thoir seats, wid that thesu four dulegates wore ontitled to the full tights of memberillp In the Convention, For no better reason and with iu other purpose than to obtrude Limsulf upon tho Conven- tion, Gen. Logan, who is one of tho four dol- cgates-at-large, objected to haying this state- dont included In the report, A Now York ilelegate moved to exclude it, and this gave “the mumbeor from Ulinols ” the desired ov- casion to proclaim that he was born tn IH nols, that he was a very honorable man, that nobody could drive him out of the Repub- Jivan party, and to indulge In yarlous bio- kruphicul and personal retlections which, however truce, wore utterly Irrolevantand un Interesting. eat It wis in vatn that “the gentleman from UMnols” was assured over and over again that thore was no purpose of reflecting upon lm or tho State which he represented Jn oneforty-sccond pur It was In valn that ho was told that the Committeo had beon obliged to pass upon bis case because objec- tons were made to 1t, In yain was hucaifort- ed with the fuct that no objection had been snnde to the credentials of any. other delu- guteat-large, and hence the particular dls- Unctlon iu his case of haying a special men- tlon of his admlsslon, which was denied to the ordinary run of delegates, La yal was he informed that the Committee felt them- selves compelled to rive hina seat in spite of all objections, Ho was determined not to bo satisfied. Io spluttered about, and con- fused hia personal caso with tho dignity of Tinots, There wero more 1's"? in his vas rious speeches on hhnaelf than thoro wero eyes tn tho vast audioncd that looked down upon him with impatient disgust, ‘Tho only consolation whicn the Convention and spectators drew from tho Logan per- fornance was furnished by Mr, Conger, tho Chairman of the Credentials Committe, who directed his attention to. ‘tho gentleman from Ittnots for 2 fow moments ina speceh that bristled with sarcasm, which was not less cutting and biting boeanse ft wns good- natured and humorous, “Tho member from Illinols”* also received some rathor unox- pected rebukes from Col. Pixley of Califor nin, from Mr. Cessna, nnd from othor dele- gites who wore manifestly disgusted at the gratuitans parading of a personal importance altogether out of proportion to the general esthuate of the Convention, When.a viva voce vote was taken to gratify the vanity of © tho member from Illinois,” the Chater was in doubt about the result, and- was Inclined to order a ballot, when, by common consent and with pronounced {mpntienco, tho wholo assemblage asked that the mattor should be dismissed at that polnt Had a ballot been takon, thore is no doubt that the Credentials Committeo would have been sustained, ns thoy simply did thoir duty In reporting the result of thelr conclu- sions concerning tho Lllinols delegates-nt- large, ns well as othor disputed matters, but. the Convention very properly concluded that “the gaina wnsn’t worth tho candle,” and that too much time had already been con- stinied in the trivial discussion, 'Tho Logan episode was a fair sample of the determined purpose to protract the ses- sionof tho Convention and postpone the bal- loting on nominations as long as possibile. Noschool debating-soctcty, with tho most trite or uninteresting subject in hand, could have been more tamo than this great Nation- al Convention tins been during tho main por- tion of twodays, When thorules are adopted, the provions question tinny givo the Conven- tion relief from the obstructive tactics of those desperailo Bosses. HOW IT APPEARS TO A MAN ON THE TOP BEAT. . 7 ‘To thoroughly enjoy, the National Conven- tlon one should nave a top sent in the galler- les. In tho first place, he is far removed above patnfut conspiculty und tho danger of belng mistaken for a notable; In the second place, he hns a chance to get even with peo- ple by stepping on thom and covering thom with sawdust as heclimbsdown and out, and can make himself generally dishked; in the third place, he can sea a great deal and hear noting, and thus is unprejudiced in his applause; in the fourth place, ho fs ontirely freed from responsibility and Individuality. Ie mingles with the crowd and is lost in it, as tho faithful Buddhist melts away in Nirvana, “as the dow-drop slides Into tho shining sea,?? e Toumanon the top seat tho effect of the erowd produces a decided and pleasurable sensation. ‘Tho play of colors, tho sea of white faces, tho brillinnt tints of tho Indies setoft nguinst the sober hues of the mon, the restlesness In tedious passages, the ripples of enthusiasm that play across the multitude as the stindows chase each other over a field of grain, the occasional outbursts of applause that rouse thdm,—all theso have n very telling effect, and even giyo glimpses of human power and minjesty. You may not bo able to understand why your humediate neighbor should howl himself hoarse, and wave his hatand kick up the sawdust in his fervor, ant generally make a.towllng Idiot of him- self, especially when he may not have the most remote idea of what ts going on; but what appears Incongruous Jn the individual becomes exciting and inspiring in tho mass, ‘The individual is repulsive, but the great crowd is magnetic in Its Influence, and one recognizes spontancously its majosty and allgnity. < ‘Lo naan on tho,‘top seat’? Senator Conk- Ilng docs not appear to ba the Adonis he has been palnted by those on the bottom scate, ‘The majestic dignity with which he proceeds up the aisle, after having carefully Unod his entrance so ns to catch the gallery, looks ut the distances of tho “top scat” like a necessity imposed by the nssaults of timo upon his legs: Ue poses for grand effect. His entrance carries him a considerable dis- {ance beyond his svat, as this gives him an opportunity to return, so that the nudicne may have a front and rear view of hin. Ie stands In the nistotorend his malls, and when Ifs henchinen hand him letters they are ex- pected to remove tho envelopes, He applauds high sojthat his faction may catch their cues, Jfe waves everything aside that gets in his way, from n messenger boy toa policeman, nnd from the delegate from Dakota to the speaker on the stage. From the top scat one cannot categorically aftirm which {3 the Convention, Sonator Conkling or the hundreds of delegates around him., When he laughs, all the Conkling men Inugh. When he nods his head, all the Conkling mon nod thelr heads, Other lenders and del- ogates desiring to sco people go and hunt them up. Senator Conkling holds receptions fa tho alsles, If he were an uglier man he would be a good proxy for Mephistopheles, for he Is the embodiment of a sneer set on garish courtesy, When matters are diataste- ful to him, or ho is close pressed, ha waves It all aside and devotes himself to tho gal- lory, where he knows he has a constituoncy of hero-worshipersa and Hun-huntors, When crowded into 9 corner, 18 he was with refor- ence to hia motion to forfelt the rights in the Canyention of the threa West Virginia dele- gates, ho withdraws, not with an appearance of defeat, but as If ha-were conferring 0 favor upon the Convention, What influence proplnqulty to the Now York Senator might have on the man on the top seat It Is dimeult, to say; but, regarding lilin from an altitude, distance does not lond enchantment to the view. ; To tha man on the top seat tho son of Mars from Wilnols, the gentleman who is apt to make the inistake “of confounding Aimsolf with the State of Ilinois,” loses by distance, It appeared to him yostorday, when Conger with his delicate satire and Maymond with his Bledgu-hammer blows were worrying him, and dolng {t with n sort of malicious pleasure, that his return blows fell short, though he rolled up his sleeves, nnd flung back his long black war-locks, and smote his paling wit: resanant blows, and voored, Congor, with his delicate satire and pollshed trony, as‘keen as 8 Damascus blade, played with him os a cat playa With a mouge, and 1€ the truth were known tho mouse was continually doubtful whether ig was play or torture.

This was understood to polnt to Col. Bob Ingorsoll, who mado 50 able nn argument beforo the Credon- tinis Committes {against the application of the State-sovereignty doctrine to an Re- publican National Convention. Gen. Logan, in speaking. ostensibly upon the subject of time, pointedly referred to this’ generat un- derstanding, and pretended that the canso of tho bogus IlMnols delegates would not suffer from so accomplished an opponent, This opmion, which did not appear to bo especially sincere In Gon. Logan’s assor- tion, was evidently not shared by tho fac- tion to which “the gentleman from Ill- nols’ belongs; for, upon o subsequent amendment rullug out counsel and thus pre- yenting Col. Ingersoll’s sppoarance, the third-termers failed conspicuously to vote Agninst the amendment, It should be stated that Col. Ingersoll had In his pocket a number of proxies, aud was offered stil! others, which would have on- abled him to appgar in the case aso delegate of the Convention. Ho declined, however, to ayall himself of that privilege on the ground that the friends of the bogus dele- gates would. charge it was a trick. As a mattor of fact, his exclusion scemed to bo tho trick, ns the refusal to hear counsel out- sido the Convention was directed pointedly against Ingersoll, It wns at once a com- pliment to the distinguished orator and an acknowledgment of: the strength of tho district case, 1n the meantime, Gon. Lognn, in the pro- tense of discussing the question of timo to be allotted to the contest, consumed f whole ‘hour in arguing the ease for his bogus delegates. When, in the lnst. moments of the dlscussion, Mr. Ingersoll’s position was announced to the Convention, objection was made to a request for unanimous consent to allow him to speak, nud so bis voice was shut ou ———— PRESIDENTIAL TERM OF SIX YEARS, The Republican Convention has encoun- tered for the first time In the history of the party a disturbing, question in the shapo of an objection to noininating a candidate for cleetigh to the Presidency for a third term, There fs nothing in the’ actunl letter of the Constitution limiting the number of ternis to which pny person may be elected to tho Presldency, but the untform custom, and the precedent established by Washington, has passed Into a law even more binding upon the popular judgment than any-written law. It Is not likely that this question will ever ariso in onr polltics again, Gen. Grant is the only person now living who has held the of- fice during two torma, anid for the quarter of acentury preceding the War o single term had become tho practice, Gen. Jackson left the offiea in 1887, and wns followed by Van Buren, Harrison, Potk, Taylor, Pieroo, and Buchanan, each elceted only for a single term, It fs trie Gens, Harrison and Taylor «lied in office, but it Is not Ikely that elthor would have been retiected, as in both enscs there was change of political majority nt tho sueceeding elections. Lincoln was revlected, but the reasons for {t ‘were overpowering. The War was not closed when the thuo came to elect o Prealdent in 1864, and the American people desired him to complete his work. They.did not think It wise to swap horses while swimming tho vor. nto public sentimont of the country has for many years been drifting in fayor of an established rule, to be placed by ainendment Inthe Constitution, extending the term of tho President to siz years, and making him ineligible to twoé@erms in succession. This is not n now question; it was the original plan agreed upon in the Constitutional Con- vention, but which unfortunately was aban- doned, in the closing hoursof the Convention, for the presentterm of four years, Tho discus- sion of this quostion began as far back as 1830, and Gen. Jackson in several of his messages strongly advocntod It, The Whigs elected Gon. Harrison in 1810 on a platform demand- ‘Inga single term, All the reasons then urged for the change have become stronger in the Inpse of tine.

Every timo this imeasure hag been proposed in Congress it has bean quietly smothered and never per mitted to be serlously discussed, ‘Tho numerous body of aspjranta to Presidential honors of both partics—and nearly all Suna- tors aud Ropresentatives are Presidents In expectancy—has always been strong enough to prevent such au amendment to the Con- stitution from being submitted to the country. Yet, outside of this grasping, selfish class of politiclans, the. American people would rejoice must heartily at the chance of extond- ing the term of the President to six yoars, and have the country spared the excitement, torture, uproar, demorallzatlon, dangers, and tremendous waste of time, money, and ner vous onergy—constantly growing worse—of a Presidential election every four years, a8 now, with a new campalgn beginning almost as 600n a8 the previous one {a closed, ‘Tuts quostion 1s, or ought to be, a non- partisan one, ‘Tha popular heart would ro- spond warmly to such « sigeestion if made by the Republican Convention tn its platform, Thousands of men in every walk of Hfe this perpetual strife nro wearlod = with over the ‘next’ residency, and any sugmestion or proposition to re- tuco tho = frequency of —electtons, and to make the Executive more indepand- ent in the oxercise of his dutics, will meot with popular favor. Such adoclaration in the platforin of the Republican party would be accepted ns a hope that there would be nt some time a deliverance from the evils which throaton the safety of our republican Gov- ernment. It would be © promiso that our Government had not been wholly abandoned to tho plottings of office-brokors and dishonest and selfish schomers, Such» plank in the Republican platform, while It would offond no one and drive away not a vote, would so appeal to the reason and rool sense of 9 vast multitude of voters who caro more for géod government than they do for cnndldates that It might draw them tothe party and swell the ranks of Its supporters, Prov.
