CHICAGO, August Z. There are rumors
that Steiner, the missing manager of the
French Band concerts, has been in the
city all the time. Parties who credit
these rumors base them on the theory
that, if Steiner has voluntarily concealed
himself, he could have no pecuniary mo-
tive for the act, as he has left money
sufficient to cover all his debts. Heis too
well known to have escaped without no
tice. This idea, however, is considered
untenable. Hi i4'l

FOR PREsIDENT.
HORACE GREELEY,
OF New York. ~
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
b. GRAFT BROWN,
OF missouri.
.rHR coNvrNr1oN To-day.

The result of the late primary cleo
ton is accepted without complaint by all
except a few Of the particular friends
of one or two candidates. Charges OF
illegal voting have been made, but no
proof has been advanced. 1t may as
we'll be admitted that in all elections
ward meetings and primaries--a certain
amount of illegal voting is INDUCED in
by irresponsible roughs and unprinci-
pied bummers, but all this can be reme-
died. The illegal voting is done in the
interest of some candidate whose friends
manipulate the affair, either for love or
gain. By applying the same legal
checks on primaries as at present sur
round the ballot-box in regular elections
the illegal voting can be checked. The
primary election system, however, is by
far more honest than the packed and
bullied ward meetings of the old style.
Men cannot keep wards in their
pockets now as has been done heretofore.
The ward politicians have to meet the
people face to face at the polls in the
broad day at primary elections, and ras-
cality always shuns the light OF day,
darkness being its strong ally. The
three strong men in the Congressional
race before the people at the late pri-
mary election we're Captain Lacey, Col
onel Looney and Colonel Duff, each of
whom developed great popularity. Cap
tain Lacey was the fortunate candidate,
by large majority, and became, by that
fact, the nominee of Shelby county. The
other gentlemen who we're candidates
stood pledged to abide the result OF the
election and to support the nominee
The convention is composed Of delegates
from Shelby, Fayette, Hardenan and
Upton counties, and these gentlemen
must select the nominee of the Conser-
vative party. The claims presented by
Shelby county cannot be ignored, but
Shelby county does not presume to die
tate to the other counties. Let the con-
vention give us a nominee that will be
supported unanimously by the Conserv-
alive people of the district. Harmony
should prevail, and all petty issues and
partisan feelings should be forgotten
The best interests Of the people should
be the only thing to be considered by the
delegates, because the spirit of reform
walks abroad, and no longer can rings
mould the destinies of States, districts,
counties or cities. The doings of the
convention will be closely watched and
criticised by the people. L. -

POLITICAL CHANCES.

The Republican party was made up
of AbolitioEists, Wings and Democrats.
The Democratic party was made up Of
Democrats and Wings. Men Of differ.
ent parties united and crystalized in
this manner. All reform parties are
made up in this style from all other par
ties. The present Liberal Republican
movement is one Of reform and recon-
ciliation, and a living protest against
Capitalization and personal government

parties against the corrupt practices Of

IT was most significant that in the
election for county officers held at Louis
vile, KY. last Monday, the nominees OF
the straight-oat Democratic ticket were
hopelessly defeated by the Citizens
ticket, composed of Greeley Democrats
and Liberal Republicans The result
was suggestive of reform and hand
clasping o err the sanguinary chasm. The
regular ticket was the issue of a conven-
ton. The Courier-Journ states; THE
recent election is warning to poll
ticians, who need not be reminded now
that they are the servants, not the mas
ters, of the people. The people have a
fancy, which is not very far from right,
that conventions are managed in special
interests and they are nests of intrigue
and jugglery. The election may accu-
rately be described as protest of the
people against party discipline no less
than an assertion of that free born popu
lar will which every now and then takes
it into its head to show the drill.masters

ness disposed of was the appointment
OF conference committee by the Presi-

Mr.. j. D. Moore, of Lafourche, offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the chairma6of each
and every committee created by this
Convention shall be selected by the re-
spective committees.
A motion to lay on the table was car
ried by a vote of Is to %.
A resolution to delegate the President
to appoint sergeantatarms and as
many assistants as he may deem neces-
sary was carried.
Mr.. Deloney, Of Carroll. moved that
there be appointed committee on reso-
lutions and platform.
Mr.. Carr, of Iberia, objected to the
immediate action on resolutions for the
reason that resolutions explanatory of
the course Of action or the principles Of
the Convention might at this time ham.
per the deliberations Of the committee
of conference now engaged in their i'm
portant work.
Mr.. Deloney withdrew his resolution.
On motion of member, suggesting
that 10 business could be done until the
conference committee reported, the Con-
vention adjourned until ten o'clock this
morning.
After adjournment, it being reported
that ]. Stella Martin was present, and
loud and repeated calls being made for
him, he was introduced to the Conven-
ton by the presiden',T after which he de-
livered a speech of nearly an hours
length, opening his remarks with re-
view of the course Of the custom-house
party toward the negroes of this State,
showing how the colored uen could not
stand up any longer under the i'm
positions, expressions and injustice
that by that party had been imposed
upon them; and coming to the question
of the utilization of the negroes for the
new Liberal party, said the custom
house party we have tried and found
wanting. We cannot longer trust them,
not'e if they want to come to US as
angels. You are as yet untried, but we
are willing to take our chances with you.
Il cannot be denied that the white man
and the black must live together in the
State of Louisiana. Thsn let us live in
unity. Give us the assurance that we
are to live in harmony with you, and
know that we Of this State may look for
ward to future glorious for the whites
and bright for the negro"

often and raptufously applauded, the
enthusiasm occasionally being so great

NoRTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

New York, August IA special to
the Times from Raleigh says the Senti-
mel Of that place publishes returns from
eighty counties, and says Caldwelrs gain
overruns the vote Of 1870 by 3S9. Allie
gheny, Cherokee, Clay, Hyde. Jackson,
Macon, Polk, Pennsylvania and Wataugta
are yet to hear from. 1t is claimed that
the addition Of the majorities for each
candidate shows that Caldwell is 5000
ahead. D. A. Jenkins, Republican can
didate for State Treasurer, runs several
hundred ahead Of his ticket. Returns
for members Of Congress show that Cobb,
Thomas and Smith, Republicans, and
Ashe, Robbins, Leach, Vance and Wad-
dell, Democrats, are elected. The Leg
islature is Democratic--the Senate by
ten and the House by ten, making
twenty on joint ballot.
The Tribunes special from Raleigh
says the returns received last night have
been unFavorable to the success Of the
Conservative ticket. The Conservatives
have elected thirty-one Senators, and
the Republicans nineteen. The Lower
House will stand sixty-six Conservatives
to twenty.six Republicans. The major
ity on Joint ballot viii be thirty-eight.
The Tribune editorially says it still be-
lieyes Merriman's election is honest, and
is the result Of the North Carolina con-
test. 1t charges the administration with
delaying the returns from the remote
counties until there was time to figure
up the result and see what majority was
needed to count Caldwell in. Conclud-
ing, it says: Whatever the final count
may show, we have already gained far
more than we expected and have made
sure of the State by a handsome ma
iority in November. We believe that
we have also honestly carried it now by
majority fully as great as that claimed
in the Tribune twenty-four hours after
the election"
The Times thinks the result is posi-
tive, and under all the circumstances
disastrous Democratic defeat.
The World, in commenting on the re-
suit of the North Carolina election,
thinks the differences from the earliest
retarns seemed perfectly legitimate. AS
the election now stands, there is reason
for solid confidence, but none for frothy
exultation.
