The PeonIe for Greeley.

We commend to the serious attention of
our readers the subjoined. sensible editorial
from the Chicago TJibatne of Wednesday
last:
We repeat what we have already stated,
that the election of Horace Greeley in No
way depends upon any action which the
Democratic committee may take. Nor does it
depend upon any action which the Philadel-
delphia convention may take. As was the
case in 1923, when the people took the cleo
ton of President cut of the hands of the
nominating bodies and elected General
jackson, so the people in 1872 propose, to
treat the action of all partisan conventions
with indifference, and elect a man whom
they love to the office of President
of the United States. The Democratic
National Committee will meet and call a
Democratic convention at st. Louis. This
is perfectly proper and advisable. The same
thing would have to be done no matter who
had been nominated at Cincinnasi But
there is no man in the United States, not
even a Democrat, who would be so strong at
st. Louis as Horace Greeley. Had the Gin
einnati convention nominated Hoffman,
PendletOn, Hendricks or Hancock, there
would have gone up a protest from the
friends of the other candidates against any
such scheme, of a Republican selection of q
Democratic convention. Had the CinciR-
natl convention nominated Adams, or
Trumbull or Davis, there would have been
violent opposition. within the Demo-
cratic party against either of them.
However these gentlemen might have been
commended to the intelligence and Judgment
of the Democrats, the nomination would
not have touched the heart, would not have
evoked enthusiasm. But the nomination of
o1 sC
All over Illinois there is a more united
Democratic support of Horace Greeley,
even at this time, than can be cen
tered upon any other man who can
be selected by any convention Dem
Ocratic or Republican. When the Demo
cratic convention meets at st. Louis, fully
one-half of the party will be then deter
mined to support Greeley anyhow. Ihe
States of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana,
Texas. Tennessee and Arkansas will pre-
sent a united front against any declared
party organization opposed to him. We
have reason to believe that, in this intexi-
BILE positiOn, the Democrats of New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut, and of Wisconsin
and Michigan, will cordially unite. How
far the Belmont influence may be success
full in its effort to divide the Democratic
party, tnat Grant may be reelected, will be
shown by the vote of the New York dele
gates. In Pennsylvania the prOtectiOnists
may oppose Greeley, lest the defense which.
Grant and his friends afford to the tariff
may be disturbed But the Democratic
convention may nominate no candidate who
can go before the people and get more than
one-6alf of the Democratic vote. What
this half will be good for, if the other half
is for Greeley, we leave the astute mathe-
maticians of the Chicago Times to DIS
cover.

THE COMING CRISIS.
Gloomy AnticipatiOns of a Financial Panic
i'm New York.

New YORK, May 6-The Express this
evening sounds the following note OF warn
ing to the financial and commercial world:
There never was a time in the history of
the United States when caution and con-
servatiOn were more necessary than at
present, On the New York Stock Exchange
the advance in railway and miscellaneous
shares since January amounts to, IN round
figures, about $200,000,0 900. The whole
thing has been the result of speculation.
Turning to the banks we find the imitation
still as great, although in another form.
The loans of the New York city banks are
now up to $280,000 ,000 while the excess of
reserve over the total limit is only
$5,SOOO00. This is anything but prudent
banking In real estate we find initiation
In its most aggravated form.
Recently a corner lot on Fifth avenue
sold for $1,000, and it is not long since a
small lot on the corner of Wall and Broad
streets sold for $270,000, or at the rate of
81, 100000 for full lot of twenty-five by
one hundred feet In Boston they have had
an imitation in copper stocks in excess of
any price warranted In San Francisco
there has been crazy speculation in silver
mining stocks and at the present time
great imitation exists. AS illustrating the
present condition of affairs on the Pacific
coast, we may mention the fact that one
stock which sold at 81 per share a year
ago. is now selling at $14OO per share; and
again, one stock which sold at So two years
ago is now selling at $1,000 per share.
There have been some rich discoveries in
the mines, but nothing to warrant any such
initiation. We have been building railroads
with such rapidity as to run the price of
iron to a fabulous point, and ere
ate almost an iron famine. Again,
we have gone on increasing the
consumption of foreign luxuries to such ex-
tent that our imports have run up unpre-
cedentedly high figures, while our exports
of produce have steadily decreased. For
the first six months of the fiscal year, the
imports exceeded the exports by $42, 100000,
and matters are growing worse. Europe
holds over two thousand million of Amer
lean securities, and, counting the interest,
our foreign indebtedness is probably more
than double the apparent balance. Affairs
at London and on the continent are not in
much better shape for a sudden emeFg
ency. In England, Germany, Holland and
other countries there has been a wild spec
ulatiOn in railroad, bank and miscellaneous
shares, which has carried prices up to a
very high point. Reaction has already set
in. The time has arrived when every
fnancier and business man should pause
and consider well the present remarkable
condition of affairs. Conservatism in
finance and trade, not initiation, should be
the platform of all henceforth.

Thro,ytng Grant Overheard.
This is a special to the Louisville Couri
,J0,tTn1l.

This is a special to the Louisville Courier
journal:
WASHINGTON, May 7.-The talk in certain
quarters about Grants withdrawing as a
candidate before the Philadelphia eonven-
tiOn has been generally received with de-
risiOn heretofore; but to-day there have
been several important conferences among
the leading administration Senators and
members, in which the possibility of such
an event was earnestly discussed Tonight
the story is very generally circulated that
a similar conference was held in New York
on last Saturday, at which Speaker Blaine
and Secretary Boutwell, were present, and
that leading Republicans, bankers and
others, urged Secretary Boutwell, to resign
and to allow his name to go before the
Philadelphia convention. 1t is further as
serted that Boutwell, has agreed to resign.
Time will develop the truth of this fact;
but it is quite apparent that the ReDub-
lcans are discussing the prOpriety of a new
departure on candidates.
An important consultation of administra-
ton Republicans was held to-day in the
marble room of the Senate chamber, to dis
cuss the course to be pursued toward the
Republicans who had joined the Cincinnati
movement. One or two Senators, like
Chandler and Edmunds, favored a war to
the knife policy, and denounced them as
traitors to the Republican party. Other
Senators, including Wilson, favored a peace
policy for the present, with the future hope
that the Democrats would nominate a
straight ticket, and that the Liberal Repub-
Leans would thereupon all return to the
fold. 1t was intimated that the President
held that view; and, so far as this con-
ference could bind anybody, it was agreed
to pursue lenent course. A proposition
that Grant should withdraw and let the
Republicans reunite was considered.

Mere Federal Ourrages.

The Associated Press dispatches this
morning report the passage in the Senate,
yesterday, of the Louisiana election bill,
notwithstanding the earnest protests against
it. The discussion is especially interesting.
A bill to amend the enforcement act, with
special reference to federal interference in
the approaching election in this State, was
taken up and freely discussed. 1t viii be
seen that the distinguished and not very
scrupulous citizen of Illinois, who misrepre-
sents Louisiana in the United States Sen
ate, has again essayed to malign the best
and most intelligent portion of the consti-
tuents of his colleagues from this State
The people here will place the proper esti-
mate on the aspersiOns upon them by VII
liam Pitt kellogg, of Illinois.

Last night a courier extraordinary reached
