PENNSYLVANIA CONSTITUTIONAL coHvEN.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
New YORK, Nov. 15.-NeWs from the Consti-
tutional Convention, at Harrisburg, indicates
that Cameron viii return from Washington to
find himself snubbeda second time. 4 CORE
spondent writes that Immediately after the Con-
vention organized, Senator White and Wayne
McVeigh, Cameron's son-in-law, moved prompt
ly, only to find that President Meredith WAS
coolly unconscious Of their distinguished great
ness, and that the same lack Of discernment t
that characterized the President was painfully
apparent among the members generally. The
design to run the Convention in the
1AtelG5k u AalAtlO1slI, ny 1kIU4uC14B tu6
CAUCUS system has proved failure to the Ring,
and the result will be that, in few days, White
and his coterie Of email politicians will have
spent themselves, and will move to the rear
where they belong, and brains and intelligence
march to the front. It is predicted that the
Convention will stamp out the infamous Cam
eron system, but this seems too sanguine by
ha1f.
HARRISBURG. Pa, Nov. lin the Constitu-
tional Convention to-day, Charles R. Buckalew
was sworn in as member, in place Of Frazer,
Of Columbia, who resigned for that purpose.
The Convention adjourned over to Monday next,

THE NEW YORK SUN ON THE SITUATION.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune
New YoRK, Nov. 15.-The Sun in the morning
says, editorial1y: "1t is IN open question |
whether there is low any opposition capable Of
being made effective against the Administration /
and The party in power. Plainly enough the
policy of the opposition toward the Adnainistra~
lion is to give it rope enough. Utter passive
ness is the card to play. The elements Of the
opposition, decried as they have been. as dis
,ordant, are; as q matter Of fact. perfectly |
