haggled all day. Compromises by the
dozen have been proposed, but they do
not hold water.

AN IMPAssABLE GULF.
Between the two factions on this ques-
ton of principle there is plainly an i'm
passable gulf unless one or the other di-
rectly and squarely backs down.
THE pRoTEcTIoNIsTs' DILEMMA.
This the protectionists of Pennsylva-
MIA, New York. New Jersey and other
states dare not do if so inclined. They
know it would make them powerless at
home, that their states cannot be carried
for free trade platform or a free trade
ticket; that to yield this point would
inevitably be their political ruin. Yet
the truly Liberal free traders insist.
FUTILE EFFORTS AT COMPROMISE.
Both sides get together in private eau
Gus to see if there cannot be some ad
justment by surrender or by some am
biguity, or by a compromise that will
cheat the people, of whom they are here
as the self-constituted representatives.
FoRLoRN HoPE-A BUsBY WANTED.
Tt is hoped by the hundreds of dele
gates who want to 60 to work that some
thing will be presented tonight that
will salty all, but this cannot be done
unless such language is employed as can
be construed differently by different
persons.
LITTLE GAME THAT DIDN'T WORN.
Col. Henry 0. Kent of New Hamp
shire moved. before permanent organi-
cation was effected, to have a National
Executive Committe appointed, of one
from each state, of which he would have
been chairman, but the Convention didn't
see it in that light, and refused to en-
terrain the motion.
THE WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS GIVEN THE COLD
SHOULDER.
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Gordon have
not made much Roadway in incorporat-
ing woman suffrage into the platform of
the Convention. Miss Anthony had the
cold shoulder turned toward her by the
New York delegation, into whose ranks
she vainly sought admission, and she re-
tired.
pIUCKY MRS GORDON
But Mrs. Gordon, who is younger and
prettier, was not disposed to give up so,
and sailed in against the men who claim
ed to be delegates from her State of Cal
ifornia. She demonstrated that three
out of the four male delegates who hail
ed from the Golden State had not resid-
ed there for years, and the Committee
on Credentials on an examination of pa
pers and facts recommended that they be
refused seats, while they ungallantly put
her off with seat on the platform.
With true pluck, however, she come on
the floor when the report of the commit
tee was presented, and endeavored to as
sert her rights.
BALKED AT LAST.
She was, however, unable to attract
the attention of the presiding officer un-
til the report was adopted and she was
declared not a delegate. Mr.. Schurz
then politely expressed his regret shat
he could not permit her to speak.
THE UNGALLANT TILTON.
Much indignation was expressed by
the ladies in the galleries that Theodore
Tilton, the professed champion of wo
mans rights, did not appear with this
lone woman and demand at least hear
ing for her.
AFRICA GETS THE FLOOR.
Equal rights have been more success
full than woman's rights, as there ar,
several delegates of unmistakable Afri
can descent, one of whom made out t.
