Tbe Republican Convention at Chicago
apfrysg* www-fPeling its liquor and loy

The boosting of the Republican booms
is nearly done, and the bursting of them
is the order of the day.
The Republicans have thrown a pretty
big sop to the colored voter, but they will
be careful to reserve all the best pie for
themselves.
If the Republicans really love the col

Boss Kelly, of New York, favors Blaine

beat in the election-
(len. Butler’s supporters have no doubt
that he could beat Blaine in Massachu

if he can get another little nomination or
two.
Oscar Wilde is married at last. Hence
forth the eminent a*sthetc will retain the
sunflower as bis favorite, but he will for

Representative Broadhead, before he
offers another important resolution in the
House, ought to inquire carefully whether
he offers it at the suggestion of men who
are alive. __
No Blaine delegate has yet had the cour
age ty propose “Mulligan Guards’ as a
campaign song at Chicago. If they are
enthusiastic for the plumed knight, they
ought to glory in his shame.
Female physicians are said to le too
much disposed to sympathize with their
patients. They have not yet learned how
to abuse a nick man until he determines
to get well just to spite his doctor.
While there is no doubt a good deal of
chieanery is being carried on at Chicago
by the representatives of Mr. Blaine, if he
gets the nomination his success will lie
primarily due to his Maine strength.
Jacob Wnitelaw Reid, of the New York
Tribun ■*, left an article on “Danville and

There is a good deal of a savage kind

and business men will not only lose their
lalior of love, but also what little change

There appears to be a very serious hitch
in the working of the machine.
The slowness ot the Republican Con
vention in coming to the balloting point
indicates either that the leaders of the
respective factions dread the struggle, or
that they want more time in which to
complete their bargains aud secure a
semi-decent delivery of the goods.
Two car loads of Florida watermelons
passed through Nashville, Tuesday, con

The contrast between the Democratic
county meetings in the State and the Re
publican county conventions held a few
weeks ago—well, there’s no comparison
at all. The quiet, dignified, harmonious
proceedings of the Democratic meetings
indicate that the moving spirit in them
was a desire for the good of the country,
and not greed for office and the control of
official patronage.

The Platform.
The plimorm adopted by the Republican
National Convention yesterday was
framed to catch vote 9. Its chief charac
teristic is insincerity. It promises many
things, but, judging from the htstorv of
the party, there is no Intention of making
these promises good. It pledges the
partv to relieve the tax payers by re
ducing the surplus revenue. How much
this pledge is worth is shown by the action
of the party in the Forty,
seventh Congress. There was then as
much necessity for reducing the
surplus revenue as there is now.
The slight reductions that were made at
that time were wrung frem the unwilling
Republicans by tbe persistency and deter
mination of the tariff reform Democrats.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the tariff
reformers, however, the interests of the
protected monopolists were guarded with
such vigilance that it was impossible to
make them bear a fair share of the insig
nificant reduction that was made. The
platform demands protection for the
American laborer and condemns the
practice of bringing laborers to this coun
try under the contract system. It is a
well known fact that those guilty of
this practice are the protected monopolists
of Pennsylvania. This contract system
has been in operation a long time. When
the Republicans had control of Congress
they made no effort to abolish it, and no
Republican in tbe present Congress has
proposed a law against it. Tbe reason is
plain. Those who practice the system
are the friends and supporters of the Re
publican party.
The platform demands the forfeiture of
unearned land grants. A great change
must have ceme over tbe party. The
public demain was parceled out among
the railroads by the Republican par
ty, and that party has resisted
every attempt to forfeit the
unearned grants. With such a rec
ord the countrv can hardly fail to ques
tion the party’s sincerity. But as re
markable as the land grant plank is,
even more remarkable is the declaration
in favor of a law regulating inter-State
commerce. When was the Republican
party ever known to legislate against rich
and powerful corporations? For years
Congressman Reagan, of Texas, has been
trying to get a hearing for his inter-State
commerce bill, hut he has received neither
sympathy nor encouragement from the
Republicans. If they really favor a law
preventing discriminations iu rates on
inter-State roads why haven't they
done something towards passing such
a law? The party occupies
a very different attitude when appealing
to the country for votes from what it does
when legislating in the halls of Congress.
In its platform it speaks emphatically for
further reform in the civil service. It is
a notorious fact that it refused to carry
out one civil service law that it was forced
by popular sentiment to pass, and that it
would refuse to obey the present civil ser-
vice law if it dared. It pretends to be
alarmed at the lurking dangers of
official patronage, and yet no other
party ever made such cor
rupt uses of patronage. The platform
is sincere, however, in declaring for an
increase of the pension charges. The Re
publican party stands readv'to increase
the pension charges to the extent of ab
sorbing the entire surplus revenue. The
control of the ex-soldier vote is of far
more consequence to it than the relief of
the tax-payers. The platform is a craftily
drawn document and its purpose is to
deceive the masses. Asa declaration of
principles it will have very little weight
with thinking people.
The Tariff Question in Pennsylvania.
Every day almost brings advices from
Pennsylvania indicating that the tide of
public opinion is turning against tbe pro
tective tariff. On Saturday the Brussels
Carpet Weavers’ Protective Association,
of Philadelphia, made a formal declara
tion in favor of free trade. As this is the
first labor organization in the country to
take an open stand against protection,
although many of them have been known
to oppose it secretly, its action is worthy
of notipp
Over a hundred members of the associa
tion have been on a strike for the past
three weeks, owing to a reduction in their
wages by the mill owners, and they ex
press a determination not to submit to
the reduction under any circumstances.
The association has a fund of $7,000 in
vested in good securities, which has not
been touched* since the strike, but the
Brussels weavers in several large mills
contribute to their aid one cent per yard
on all carets woven by them.
At the meeting alluded to the following
preamble and resolution were adopted
without a dissenting voice:
Where As, qi ie frequent attempts to
make inroads on wt wages by the manu
facturers. while they becoma' richer and
richer under the vaunted tariff to protect
home industry, has convinced us that a
high tariff only fosters monopolies, and is
inimical to the interests of the working
man; therefore,
j'esolved, That we cast our votes and
use our influence at tha coming election
in favor of the advocates of free trade,
believing that it will result to the advan
tage or wage-workers generally.
The truth of the assertions contained in
the preamble is so evident that there
can scarcely lie a doubt that many other
labor organizations will soon begin to
open their eyes to the true condition of
affairs, and to see what protection inev
itably leads to.
As absolute free trade is not uow prac
ticable iu the United States, and will not
lie for many years to come, these work
ingmen will have no hesitancy in joining
hands with the revenue reformers, who
alone offer anything like a possible solu
tion of the tariff question. The anti-pro
tection sentiment in Pennsylvania is be
ginning to organize and make itself felt,
and its effect on future political contests
in that State will be watched with inter
est, perhaps with hopefulness.
Prospects of tlie Exposition.
The largest hall in New Orleans was
crowded with the leading citizens ot the
city last Monday night to hear what Di
rector General Burke had to say about
the prospects of the exposition. Between
4,000 and 5,000 people were present, and
throughout the evening the greatest en
thusiasm prevailed. The Director Gen
eral rapidly sketched the magnificent pro
| -'rtions which the enterprise had as-

that not only would ,e government

argued that the re ei P ts from con

not expected, of-ourse, that the admis
sions at the NewOrleans Exposition will

however, estinvtes that they will reach
$1,841,000. Tl> estimate is based upon
the expectation that the attendance of the
people of Ne Orleans will yield $450,000;
that the attsidance of the people of the
ten States aljacent to New Orleans will

there wit be at least 600,000 visitors

Ncrth, for one reason and another, will
seze upon the opportunity to visit the

curiosity to see the South and New Or
leans and the exposition will all prove
powerful attractions. New Orleans need
not be so anxious about the attendance at
the exposition as about her ability to pro
vide-for her visitors.

The Chattahoochee Trade.
The merchants of New Orleans and
Mobile are making strenuous efforts to
Control the trade of the Chattahoochee
and Flint river sections, and to some ex
tent they are succeeding. A week or
more ago we published the fact that some
of those who had deserted Savannah for
New Orleans had returned to Savannah,
because they found that it was to their
advantage to do so. Trade, howet er, is
very apt to go where It is solicited, and
where there are special inducements offer
ed it. At present New Orleans is not only
offering this Chattahoochee and Flint
river trade special inducements, but is
drumming it extensively. The question
which presents itself to our merchants is,
whether they propose to give up this valu
able trade without a struggle. The truth is
that notwithstanding Savannah’s advant
ages it will go elsewhere unless prompt
and energetic measures are taken to re
tain it, and our merchants might as well
recognize this fact at once. In an inter
view, which we published on Wednesday,
with a prominent official of the Central
Railroad the statement was made that
neither New Orleans nor Mobile had any
advantage over this city in the matter of
freight rates. It costs no more to send
cotton here than to New Orleans, but it
ought to be worth more here
than at New Orleans, because it
is much nearer the market in which
it must be sold. There is, therefore, an
advantage in favor of Savannah which, if
accompanied with the right sort of effort,
ought to be sufficient to keep the section
referred to a customer of Savannah.
Trade does not follow old channels now
with the same tenacity that it used to. The
cities which show the most enterprise and
energy get the bulk of it. If our mer
chants want to hold the trade ot the
Chattahoochee and Flint river sections
they must battle for it the same way
New Orleans and Mobile are battling for
it.

greater influence will the 4,000,000 of Demo

A Dark an.l Woolly Horse.
New York Herald ( Ind.).
In spite of alt the protest* against dark
horses at Chicago, the very first race there
yesterday was run and won by a horse not
onlv dark but woolly. There are no “soft,
dissolving views" of Mr. Lynch’s color; no
“mellow shades” or “gentle gradations.” He
is an unadulterated member of the African
race. and. if the reports from Chicago are to
lie trusted. Is quite a creditable specimen.
They speak of the “sobriety, seriousness and
dignity” of his demeanor. But the personal
character of Mr, Lynch’s discourse indicates
vanity, and his own complimentary vote for
■ discreditable a person as Mr. Clayton indi
cates -oHkuess. Courtesy is not a sufficient
excuse for saw n vote, nor was Mr. Lynch's
personality of suffien importance to war
rant any explanations aboutin taking the
chair. '

Ax absolutely exact straight edge of more

appliance looks like an arched truss, the high

The lowa druggists propose to fight that
clause in the State liquor laws prohibiting
them from keeping on sale intoxicants of any
kind. At a recent meeting of the State Phar

stating that they believed the constitutional
amendment invalid; that it was necessary
that certain liquors should bekept in stock for
medicinal purposes; that every member was
willing to pay the penalties prescribed for
selling for other than medicinal purposes, and
that it was the sense of the society that the
matter should be brought to the courts for
flual decision. The prohibitory amendment
will, therefore, lie ignored, and a test case
made of the first arrest for its violation.

Mr. Whistler, at the recent private view
of his exhibition, sold six drawings at prices
varying from 20 to So guineas. Some of them,
the' artist observed, had taken him nearly
twenty minutes to complete.
The hook entitled "Memoirs of Charles
Ileade,” by his spiritual adviser, the Rev.
Charles Graham, is now ready in London. It
tells how Mr. Iteade, during his later years,
was in great distress of mind because of his
connection with the drama.
Gen. Herds von Borcke, the Chief of Staff
of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, is the lion of the hour

and Bradley T. Johnson were guests.
Minnie Palmer, who is making a stir
abroad, is a Philadelphia girl. Her father
was a sailor. Her mother, who always trav
eled with her, was a little stage-struck, and
got the girl into the notion. She always called
her "Baby,” even up to a year or so ago.
Cabanel’s portrait of Mrs. Bonanza
Mackay, which is said to he entirely satisfac
tory to her and to her friends, represents her
with regular but by no means classical
features, bluish-gray eyes and a well-rounded
form. The picture makes her a tolerably
good looking woman, but far from beautiful.
senator Beck and Congressman Breckin
ridge, of Kentucky, arrived at Richmond, Va.,
Monday, and inspected the statue of Gen.
Breckinridge ordered by the Legislature of
Kentucky from Valentine, the sculptor. They
were much pleased with tliejr visit to the
studio, and expressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the artist’s work.
A martial but pleasing figure in Chicago
is “Tom Ochiltree in Prince Albert coat and
calico shirt.” A most appropriate costume
for tliis original and yet very select charac
ter, this piquant mixture of the cosino]H>lite
ami the cowboy. Beneath the Prince Albert
coat of polished conventionality Tom wears
the homely calico shirt of native Texan
make.
Duran, the artist, never permits what is
stvled a sitting while he is painting a por
tr'ait. He obliges his models to ci., laugh,
■'alk, read, or write- snort, he compels
them to reel amt to lie at home, and while he
secs them quite in their home-spun expres
sion and off their guard he paints iu rapidly
and boldly the hippiest outline that his own
intellect can s=e or his imagination picture.
The editr*’ of a paper published in Boston
called Li’srtV throws anew light on the
characpr of the late Charles O’Conor. “I
now u'thoritativelv record the fact,” he says,
“tha'Hie great lawyer whose wonderful elo
quoice and searching intellectual power kept
Lira for two decades the acknowledged head
o'the American bar, far from being the Bour
lon which an ignorant and dishonest press
oas pictured him, was a thoroughgoing An
archist.”
REMINISCENCE OF 1801.
llow John C. Breckinridge Counted the
Electoral Vote.
The electoral votes for President
and Vice President, says Ben: I’erley
Poore, were counted in the hall of the
House, on Wednesday, the 13th of Feb
ruary, 1861. The Senators went there in
procession, headed by the Vice I’resident,
advanced up the middle aisle and took
seats in the area in front ot the Speaker’s
desk. Vice l’resident Breckinridge took
the chair of the Speaker, while the latter
sat at his right hand. The tellers took
position at the clerk’s desk. Senator
Trumbull of Illinois, Representative
Phelps of Missouri, and Washburne of
Illinois, were the tellers; on their right
was the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Dickens,
and on the left Mr. Forney, of the House.
The Vice President said that, according
tv kUG GVUO* IUUVAVU) AXGttOL'O Ol
Congress had assembled in order
that the votes might be counted
and declared for President and
Vice President of the United States, w ho
were to take iheir seats on the termina
tion of the present term, the 4th of March,
1801. It was his duty to open the electo
ral v otes, and he now proceeded to per
form that duty. The votes were accord
ingly opened by States, and the separate
vote of each State was announced by tbe
tellers. When the name of South Carolina
was called a suppressed laugh was heard
from all parts of the House. Vice Presi
dent Breckinridge "then announced the
whole vote to be: For Lincoln and Ham
lin, 180 votes; for Breckinridge and Lane,
72 votes: for Bell and*Everett, 3!) votes;
for Douglas and Johnson, 12 votes. He,
therefore, declared Abraham Lincoln, of
Illinois, aud Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine,
to be duly elected President and Vice
I’resident of the United States. There
was no demonstration of any kind on the
floor of the House or in the galleries. The
Senate then retired and the House ad
journed.
