Editors Journal:
The end draweth nigh, but is not
yet. The patience Of many of the
Western delegates, whose financial
resources are running low-owing to
the limited number of greenbacks in
circulation, defect they hope TO rem
edy by the nomination and election of
Pendleton-is well nigh exhausted.
Three days have been used up in
adopting a platform At the same
rate of progress, two or three more
may be consumed in nominating a
candidate, It is possible, how
ever, that the gentleman to be sacri-
feed upon the alter of their party
will be designated tomorrow. Tt is
to be hoped SO, for the sake of the
rapidly becoming impecunious.
.2 The proceedings to-day have been
Interesting and somewhat exciting.
A feyerish anxiety which had existed
with refarcnce to the platform gave
way to. exuberant JOY over the harmo-
Pnious adoption OF that supposed to-
/ be-very-important document. The
fPendleton men claim it as triumph
for their candidate. On the financial
Lproblen. however, 1T is identical with
the Indiana Republican State Plat
Eform; and on the negro question it Is
significantly non-committal It de-
nounces the Reconstruction Acts of
ECongress as invalid and wrong, but
does not advocate their abolition, nor
does it assert them a failure The les
son taught the party in 1864, when it
pronounced the war q failure, has had
a salutary effect. 1t will be more eau
tions with IFS predictions In the fu-
ture. The failure to declare for the
abrogation of negro suffrage In the
/ States, where tits now permitted and
authorized by law, is a manifestation
of pitiful cowardice that will materi-
ally weaken the partyin the canvass.
If the reconstruction acts of Con-
gress are invalid, the party ought to
have the courage to insist on their re-
Epeal or abrogation, and to fail to so
ldeolare In a its platform of prin-
t'ciples, is to admit not only its
helplessness, but its indifer-
ence. 1T is virtually saying to the
people, all tne nue. and cry we nave
been making over greenbacks .
and negro suffrage " is the sheerest
bumbug, used for the purpose of in
fuenelng votes, and to secure, if pos
sible, the control of the Government
patronage" Such an admission will
excite the disgust of the intelligent,
and insure the defeat of the party.
The developments on the first six
ballotings are not indicative of any
decided result, Mr.. Pendleton was
not as strong as bis friends supposed
and represented. Instead of having a
majority ofthc votes on the first ballot,
he had only one-third, and increased
very little during the succeeding five.
While to outsiders the failure TO
put Judge Chase in nomination
was mysteriously significant, it
by no means demonstrates that he

WE call the attention OF our read

ratification meeting in Richmond,
Virginia, held ae the same time the
Democracy Of Evansville were "rati-
flying" SEYMOUR and BLAIR. The
great boast of the party is that it is
the same all over the country, great
national party. We learn something
of its spirit from the remarks of the
rebel Ex-Governor VANCE. late the
regular Democratic candidate for
Governor of North Carolina, when he
declared that what the Confederacy
fought for would be won by the cleo
tion of SEYMOUR and BLAIR" Gov.
III. A. WISE, the bosom friend of Mr..
CHASE, in his recent visit to that
city, denounced as a falsehood the
first Tammany resolution which al
legged Secession to be dead, and he
declared that 1t was more alive than
ever, and supported BLAIR because
he had promised revolution.
These dispatches read in connee-
ton with Senator MORToN's speech
in this issue, cannot fail to cause
loyal people to think seriously OF the
issues of the present campaign, and
to rally with greater earnestHess to
the support of GRANT and CoLFAx.
We cannot afford to hand over the
administration of this country to the
Democratic party, with such leaders
and allies as VANCE, WISE. and their
Copperhead and rebel associates.

Report of the Head of the Freadmen's
Bureau-F0ur Millions Expended
During the Year-The Bureau To be
Partially Discontinued in January.
WASHINGTON, November 6.-The annual
report of the Freedmen's Bureau, just made
by General Howard, shows an expenditure
during the past year of 1887, 900. He
sees no necessity for continuing the Bureau
longer than January 1st, at which time it
expires by Congressional limitation, and
his recommendations for the future look
only to continuing the freedmen's hospitals
at Washington, Richmond, Vicksburg, and
New Orleans, the estimates for all Of which
aggregate only 100000.
The educational work, and that of aiding
freedmen to collect their claims, it is
already provided by law, shall. continue
till further action is had by Congress, but
the Bureau will have funds enough to go
on in this work without further appropria-
tons.
The school expenditures during the past
year were $4,000, 900; of which the freed
men paid $560,000, northern benevolent
societies 500, 1000, and the Bureau 1874, 900.
