same as II has always been.
publican Feuds-The Presidential Cam
didatcs and the Hopeful Democracy.
The political situation in Pennsylvania is attract.
ing good deal OF attention hefe, though nothing
OF any significance has been developed. There is a
growing feeling IN favor Of the nomination of Curtin
Tor Vice President by The Cincinnati Convention
ana the candidacy 81 Mcclure for Governor ls also
discussed All this grows out OF Forney's opposi
tlon to iiartr., the republican candidate ana the
comfort the democracy expect from the feud in the
republican ranks Forncy was anxious to head
both the electoral ticket ana the delegation to the
Philadelphia Convention but Cameron interposed
against him, saying he had forgiven Forney often
enough. Forney's opposition consequently means
only Forney's disappointment.
Bat McCurc's candidacy, IL IL should be assented
to- has in II great element OF danger to the adj
ministration. In himself Mcclure has no strength
hui he would not dare TO accept nomination of
this kind contrary to the wishes OF the Pennsylva
MIA Railroad Company II he is Il candidate he will
be the candidate Of that powerful corporation and
IL
democratic candidate, so far, is mere moonshine.
The democracy are perfectly quiet, and In pursu-
ance of their anything to beat Grant, policy will
not determine on any line OF action till after the
Cincinnati Convention. The democratic leaders are
beginning to feel encouraged over their chances:
Forney's impotcnt grows please them. The repre-
sensations OF Colfx's Indiana friends, who declare
that unless he Is renominated for Vice President
the State will he lost to Grant, give them measure
Of satisfaction
Governor Blair, who has Just returned from
Michigan reports widespread detection in his
state, though il is not unlikely that Bairs extreme
hostility to senator Chandler may mslead him.
They begin to count upon Illinois as certainty, but
here and there is a hardshell democrat who looks
upon the situation without satisfaction. Van Trump
grumbles necessarily, and Pcndleton is lukewarm.
Everybody is in doubt, and "Nobody's opinion is
worth any more than anybody else's.n
Chase's Convention, which was to have been held
at Parkersburg next Thursday, is failure, ana
Trumbu as Il candidate il also dead. Davis Is not
entirely acceptable, and some OF the democrats
have been urging Charles Francis Adams in his
stead: but Adams Is so unpopular among the Irish
voters Chat he cannot win. Were it not for this a
determined effort would be made in his behalf. On
the whole the situation is unsatisfactory and un-
certain ever and the politicians here discuss
ing Pennsylvania partly because they think the
Presidential canvass viii turn on that State and
partly because they have nothing else to talk about
The Grand Rally in New York on Next
Wednesday Evening.
The demonstration Of the liberal republicans in
New York on Friday last Is regarded in administra-
ton circles political failure and nothing more.
1t appears that several weeks ago the leading bust
ness men of New York and Brooklyn united in q
call for the meeting which Is to be held on Wcdnes-
day evening next TO endorse President Grant and
urge his denominations The meeting on Friday night
last was designed 10 anticipate the proposed meeting
Of the republicans, and for that purpose Schurz
and Trumbull were invited to address the mongrel
assemblage. Finding that the meeting did not have
the effect it intended, IL has been represented
that the meeting on Wednesday next was to coun-
tcract the importance OF this meeting of Friday
night. SO far as Is known, the only speaker who
will go from here is Senator Wilson, and those who
are favorable to It's object have openly expressed
the wish that the speakers should be selected from
New York and Brooklyn alone.
The Tariff and Revenue Bills.
II is doubtful whether the Tarir bill viii he re-
ported tomorrow. 1t is nearly all printed and the
committee will meet in the morning to complete
what still remains unfinished. The hitch in the
committee continues, Mr.. Dawes refusing TO report
the bill, and il is probable that Mr.. Burchald will
act FOR the majority. The whole question has as
sumed very interesting phase aud the result viii
he TO test the strength of revenue reform in the
republican party and in the house.
The Grave Worms OF the Dead Wiscon-
sin Land steal Writing Under Herald
Salt.
General Ketcham viii report on Tuesday to the
House that the Committee Of Conference on the
ST. C7olx bill was unable 10 s4,ree II is under.
sfood that the friends OF the bill viii make motion
that the House recede from It's position, and
another desperate battle over the job will he the
result. II IL asserted that number of persons
who voted against the measure have agreed 10
dodge vote this time but IL Is not likely that
anybody will be willing to 90 on the record in this
way.
All kinds OF Wild and foolish stories including
pretended bargains for the possession OF news
papers, are set afoat ~ the Wisconsin lobby. and
in every way they are working most industriousIy.
A set OF more INSCRIPTIONS lobbyists has never
been IN Washington, and they are smartng under

lbels snd goads them to desperation In behalf Of
