Judge Hoadley was a Republican down to 1873, and then presided at the Gree- Joy Conyentlon, but yubsequently supported Grant, Despite these antecedents, the ‘Lem: porary President was equal to the occasion, nd greeted the Soild South with an assur ance that, howevuF the caso might be with other Conventions, a Democratic Convention “was never on assemblage representing Qe Amerivan people, but was always a repre: ‘sentative of thy “indestructible units,” the States, In the Democratic party and in Democratic Conventions, nationality or pop- ulur will, or the freedom aud independence of the cltizen, have never been represented, and haye uover been recognized. ‘The polttical unit, In Deujoeratie theory, fs not tho citizen, but the State, The cltlzen jaa subject, not un independent Dulitteal entity; the State is the soverel«n, (and nlone has polltfeal [dentity and freedom of action, ‘The States, as the sovereign sotrces or fountalne of all power, establish, . select, and nppolnt the Goyernuient at Wash- ington as thelr agent, and not as thelr supe- ror; an agent appointed by and deriving all its authority from tha States, and exlsting nt the will of thuse ‘States, {hut is the Demo- crate theory of the Amséitcyn Union and Goyernment, aud hence Judge Mondley Brected the delegates at Cinclungti, not as Tepresentatives of the Nation, an@ not as Tepresentatives of the peaple, aud not ax Tepresentatives of Congressional districts, jbus wp sopresplatives.of the syyerslan tates,—each Stato a complete and die finct unity and soverclenty in Itself. There was some talk In the Chicago Repule Mean Convention In favor of repudiating nationality, repudiating the people ns the sources of power, and repudinting the clti- zen as the polltical unit, and in. favor of adopting the old pro-stavery theory of ncon+ federney of States, holding a Convention of the States and not a National Convention; but tho Republican party put an absolute nega- tive upon this erlminat defense of secession, rebellion, and alt the other abominations of State-sovereignty, Judge Moadley, however, addressed his Specch to the veterans of the Lost Cause and to the delegates not of the people, but of the sovereign States, and that he evoked their’ enthusinstic plaudits was nota surprise. ‘To hear sucha declaration in the City of Cin- elunatt was a reminder to them of the alorl- ous days when the soverelgn untts of the South withdrew their powors from the Fed- eral agent at Washington, and, unfurling a new banner, declared war in the name of the Confederacy upon the National Union and upon the National Government. Inall thls, Judge Hoadley kept within the doctrinn! theory of the Democratic party, as especially and elaborately laid down aud asserted by Mr. ‘Tilden in 1800 in his cele- brated protest against ® war upon the “States” to preserve the Union, Mr. Tilden then hla that the Government at Washing- ton was but an ngeney of the several soyerelgn States, deriving its powers from tho States, existing by the consent of the States, and no longer authorized to act for any State which should withuraw its powers or withdraw from the confederacy, ; That sentient of Statesovereignty is the essential doctrine of the Democratic partly, and next to Jef Davis, the deposed President of the Confedera:y, no man more fitly chumplons and maintains ¢hat doctrine than Tilden, and to put candidate and plat- form in harmony the Conyention should nominate either Tilden or Davis, or per- haps unite them on the sae ticket. — TILDEN'S STRENGTH IN THE OONVEN- TION. Whatever may be the result in the Clncin- nati Conyentlon, itis apparent that ‘Tilden’s latent power Is formidable. ‘The vote on the New York contest furnished eyldence of this. Tho antl-Tammauy delegation was sent to Cincinnatl by a State Convention which Tilden controled absolutely, and it consists of men who ‘are ready and anxious todo ng Tilden shall direct at all times, ‘Tho ‘Tammany delegation represented John Kelly and the 70,000 Democratic votes in New York which were cast against Robinson, the regu- lar nominey for Governor, last year, ‘Tam- many was full of. threats, and apparently had the backing to muke fts threats alarm- ing. Yet the Tilden delegation received all the votes In the Credentials Committee but four. When the caso came up in Conyen- tion, and the previous question was called, the Tammany partisans resisted, but they were defeated by a vote of 360 to 290, When the vote was taken on « motlon to substitute fur tho majority reporf} the minority report recommenting tha seating of twenty Tammany delegates, the proposition was voted down by 457 to 205, the New York delegation not voting. Finally, the majority report, senting the entire ‘Tilden delegation, was adopted by a vive voce vote, Lie opposi- tion abandoning the contest. All this was a fair ind{eation of the fm- mense strength which Tlden has had in re- serve ever sluce the Convention was organ- ized. J1is temporary, but equivocal, with- drawal has evidently incrensed Isls strength, but whether the secretion has been sufliclent to. secure him the nomination remnins’ to be seen. Another day's balloting withoyt result, aecompanted by the usual methods of ‘Tilden’s proselyting will probably make TH- den Invincible in the Convention, and his Purpose may be accomplished long before that. The advantages of Tilden’s position may be described ay follows: Ho offers the Demo- ernts tho fraud issue and the barrel, both of which are embodied in ‘Litden’s candidacy, and both of which will be fost to the party if hebenot nominated. Ho-ssys to them in effect: “If you take mound amy barrel and suffer defeat, you will stl have enjoyed the contents of the barrel; If you reject me and my barrel, and still suffer defeat, you will Navyeno consolation for your misfortune.” ‘The arguinent is of a kind, when addressed toncrowd of Democrats who haye grown accustomed to defeat and anticipate it again this year, that is calculated to exert consid- erable influence over thelr voter, A. distri- bution of a portion of the barrel among the delegates ns an earnest of good faith will strengthen the argument materially, and this precaution has probably not been overlooked by Tildon’s managers, THE BRADLAUGH (ASE.

Why, then, should the repre- sentatives of other constituencies set them selves up to dispossess Mr. Bradlaugh’s con- stituents of the man of thelr choice, and With whou thoy arcsatisiied,—or they would not have elected hlm,—becwuso he holds certain opinions coutrary to theirs on sub- jects connected with Uie hereafter, about which thelr actual knowledge is no greater or clearer than hin? Jt has never beon claimed gyen by Mr, Brudlaugh’s bitterest opponents that his priyate churaeter is bad; that he Isa disrep- utably man in hls personal’ ngrals; that he Jacks tn Intelligence or In education; or that he is inadequate to fi the post of a pubile lexjalgtor, On tho other hand, it ts well known that he is.a man of large genera) learning apd culture, a thinker of ability, a politician of skill, sagaclty, and Hbernlity, and endowed with qualities that would | make Him @ useful member of Varila- nwnt astte. from bis religlous beliefs. Ue stands in abput the samo selytion to Pare, Hument that Bir, Ingeryoll would stand to Cengress, If clected from the Peorta district, though he {s not eo brillant a man as our daring freg-thinker, ‘The position which Mr, Bradlaugh assumes {s that hie mind is not sulictently satisfied with the proofs of Divine lty to believe us others do, If his wind had been uifferently constituted by the Creator he would have beloved differently.

So when meu are clected to fill political offices they fre chosen, ostensibly at least, upon the grounds of their executive ability and their , legislative capacity. to perform tho work ex- pected of then. By the application of such A common-sense rule as. this the Americans entirely escape guch excitement, confusion, and uproar as hate just been witnessed in tha English House of Commons, In every Congress, from the Orst one to the present one, there have been all shades of opinion, from the most righd orthodox Christianity to disbellef Ike that of Bradlaugh's. Tho re- ligious views of Jefferson aud Franklin were not unlike his, and there are probably fifty members in the present Congress who, if called upon to give expression to their actual rellgtous falth, would be found to be In close sympathy with the English free-thinker. it is unfortunate that this discord should have been precipitated In Parlinment just at atime when the Liberal party was In a con- dition to commence Its great work of reform, It has rent tho Housy into angry factions, bred discontent and confusion, and will work more mischief before it 1s settled, And of what account can {tall be except to make a national tssue that will produco still greater confusion ‘and can ultimately have Sut onc solution,—the elimination of religious tests from polltical life? ‘Thesooner that is reached the better.

THE LATE BOOM IN PRICES AND SILVER, In the Bunkers’ Magazine for July isa voluminous article from Mr, George Bf, Wes- ton, in which he discusses the recently col- lapsed boom In prices of iron, stecl, and sey- eral other srtictes, and attributes the whole thing to the demonetization of silver! We have auch . respect for Mr. Weston’s views, and are ng prepared perfinps as any ono to attribute misfortuno or calamity to the monomotallle craze, but confess wo “fall to see any connection between last year’s spasmodic advance i the prices of stecl rails, iron, and nalls, and the depreciation of silyer by the actlon of the German Governmont several years ogo. Tho Inilation of prices which began in July, 1879, was confined for a time to fron manufactures, The extating prices of Iron and steel were exceedingly Jow fn the winter and spring of 1879; the mills in Great Britain had practically suspended; n cargo of steel Tails was purchased in England at §23 per ton, and dellvered, daty paid, in New York at $53 per ton, Amejcan steel rails wero selling, per scala prices, at $45 por ton, but iwith Uborpl discount; phd pig-iron was down to $17 per ton in Pittsburg, Attracted, among other things, by these low prices, It was considered advisable by men with enpital to engage In rillrond eqn- struction, witch had not been yery yigorous- ly prosecuted, The revival of busineas, tho, \grent impetus given to. production, the em- ployment of Jabor, and the general prosperity of tho country warranted ura oxtenslon of the raifrond sys tem. All over the country thore was “a demand for new roads connecting older ones, ronds ranging from 25 to 125 miles In Jength, to bring new districts and new seo tions Into closer, and shorter, and tore direct communication with existing centres, Thore wis a demand aleo for doubdlo tracks on puny roads, and for ronds inthe far North- west, ant In Texas and the far Southwest. No less than four Hnes were extending in carnest conspetition their tracks from Minne- sota duc west across Dakota to the Missourl River. The Northorn Pacific was pushing on its lines, working from both ends, and tha construction through Arlzong and New Mex- ico was prosecuting with great energy, With the opening of spring the demand for fron and stecl was so great that every furnace and mill lad recclyed orders equal to its en- pacity. Othor orders followed, and then the policy was adopted of advancing prices. Steel rails went up week after weok until they reached $00 per ton; plg-iron was in demand at $42 ber ton; wages advanced in proportion; the high prices extended to many other articles; enormous orders for goods were sent to Europe, and prices there rose {n proportion to the American scale, The great surprise ig that the American and Engiish manutact- urers Imagined that theso. Inilated prices could be permanent, and that the world in three months had eqncluded to become con- sumers at an advance of from 50 to 100 per cent in prices of certainarticles. Tho fact of political economy that consumption would decline as soon ns prices advanced beyond a warranted sate scenis to have been wholly Ignored, Kydn ns Inte as Jqnuary, 1380, Rubert Giffen, a respectable English writer (quoted by Mr, Weston), thys pubjighed at that late day ax to the permanency of the rise in prices; .

These will haye to be sold at a sacritice aud at the lowest current price. In oll this there is nothing unprecedented. It is but on repetition of an oft-told story, ‘Che immense fmportations during tho Inst elalt months’ might, under other cireum- atancea, have reversed the balance of trade, nnd caused a demand for gold instead of tho brend we have beer*exporting, But aur ex- ports have also gone on Increasing, Even if our purchases abroad had led to an export of gold, the stoppage of the purchases would have also stopped the export of gold, and In time the equipoise would have been restored, The United States are in that position of being the producers of food with which to supply other parts of the world, Food is an article of prime necessity, and the world, once made familiar with its cheapness,—that ts, oncemate familiar by oxperience with the fact that two loaves of American bread cay bo had for less than the cost of one loaf obtained elsewhere,—will never give up the extra loaf under any deluston that it 1s patriotic to buy dear bread at home, We have as high an appreciation of the value of silver remonetization as any one, but its great value to the American people is the stability it gives to our finances. Itis a protection against searca and dear gold; it 9 n protection to our own people against the relentless avarice of domestic Shylocks; it is a protection against panics, and suspension of specie-payments, and dépreeiated cur- reney; aud for all this we can well afford to be thankful. OHICAGO'S POPULATION. ‘The St. Louis newspapers are very much exereised over Chicago's population as the United States: census promises to reveal it. ‘They are wad because Tue Tunune modest- ly predicted that the census would not fall short of 430,000 in this city, Tus ‘Tnmunn put the jigure low to break the actual nmount by degrees to the denlzens of St. Louls, knowing what ashock it would inflict on their sensitive nerves to tell them all nt once that Chicago outnumbered St. Louis by 100,000 in- habitants. ‘Phe wrath of the St. Lous papers Is really not because the ectual population was underestiinnted 40,000 or 60,000, but be- cause the figures will execed the esthnate s0 enormously, and show, in the end, that Chi- cago within the elty limits has about 100,000 more people than St, Louls has Including the sentlze county. ‘The St. Louls count will probably aggregate about 376,000, while the Chicago count will not fall much short of 475, Louts is determined to feel sore over the result, we may as well do justice to Chi- cago, and show how mich larger the popula: tlon of this clty would belf the same amount of territory were included in the count which St. Louts tugs tn. St. Louls Includes within the city Mmuilts the entire County of St, Louls; Sf Chicago Included Cook County, its popu- Jation would go into history at thls date as something Itke 550,000, or nearly 200,000 moro thon the population of St. Louls, But Chi- cago may waive the suburban towns of tho county proper, such as Hyde Park, Eyan- ston, and so on, and include only the city proper, which extends continuously o mile beyona the city limits, and thus confine the estimate to about the same territory as is em- braced within the city Hinits of St, Louis, 'The city Jimits on tha south are bounded by a Ine running through the middle of Thirty- ninth street. The dividing line is utterly arbitrary, There ut mo reason why the people on ho north sido of Thirty-ninth street should be count- ed os residents of Chicago while the peopls on the south side of the sano street are not Included jn tho city enuinera- tlon, Asaanatter of fact, the city docs not stop short of Vorty-seyenth street on any of tho thoroughfares, and on such streets as State it ig bullt up continuously to that dis- tance, If this extra mille were included in the clty’s enumeration, embracing the large population of tho district inhabited by the Stock-Yards men, the count would be in- creased about 80,000, ‘The anme extension in the West and North Divistons of the city would be equally legitimate, and would add in each case about 8,000 or 10,000 more, Such an enumeration would Increase the popula- tion of Chicago proper some 45,000 or 50,000, and make it over half a milllon, as it Is in Sact. ‘The census of 1810 gave Ohtengo 200,000 people; this year's census, which for reasons which have been rected before will fall short of the actual popylution, will give Chi- cago Jn the neighborhood of 475,000, ‘This shows the ratio of Inerense within the past decade to hayo been about 03 percent. ‘The same ratio of increase during the next den yenrg would give Chicago 770,000 in 1890, and, during the following ten years, a population of 1,230,000 In 1900, The ratio may not be malntalned at a9 high a figure in tho future, but {t is entirely safe to predict that Chicago, in twenty years from now, will have more than 1,000,90-people, aside from the suburban towns that aro really a purt of Chieago, and’ that It will then be the second city in size on the American Continent, while it is now tho fourth, The census of 1870 gaye Cook County 346,000, and the present census will probably show the populutlon of tho county to be about 640,000, which willsecnre to this county four members of Congreas without attaching any adjoining equities, At present Lake and Du Page aye attached to patch out tho population under tho census of 1870 for threo niembers, Tho Increage in the county, out- side of Chicugo, Ia due malnly to the growth of tho suburban towns, which are filled up entirely with Chleago people, and would have no existence but for this city. It will not bo surprising If thg marvelous growth of Chicago will make Titnols the third State in } the Unfon jn population, Tho mortification which the poople of Bt, Loujy aye suffering just ow from tho prob- able demonstration that Chicago has com- pletely distanced their city.In its phenomenal growth is largely traceable to thelr own in- discretion and inslucerty, ‘They have been decglving themselves gud have tried to de- colyg the rest of the country, Their direct- ory-makers uml jocal onumerstors have from time to thine made oxuggerated reports of the city’s population, Knowlng this to be tho fact, the Sf.
