The Chicago Tribune, of Monday, after
relating the fact that the present congress

Opposition to only Republicans; and the
fact that the Republicans were beaten at
the last state election by over 10000; and
the fact that the Republicans lost the last
legislature Of this state,-says:
1T will be seen, therefore, that Illinois
is not Republican state beyond every
contingency. Ii is not a Republican state
being practically united, aud even though
they should not be united on a presiden-
tial ticket it is quite conceivable that they
may be united on a state ticket, and also
on their legislative ticket. We lost the
last legislature in that way, and we may
easily lose the next one by failing to make
the best possible nomination at Cincinnati.
The German vote Of the state has been in
a state Of semi-revolt for three or -four
years.

of Massachusetts, for long time chairman q

was Greeley man in 1872, when he says
1T is my profound conviction that the

MORE ABOUT THE GREAT STATUE.--M. I.
Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor in
charge of the FrancO-Ameriean Statue
OF Liberty, to be erected in New York
Harbor, went to Philadelphia on Mon
day TO superintend the exhibition of
those parts Of the statue which have ar
rived from France. These pieces CON-
prise the right hand and part OF the arm.
This hand is probably the largest artifi-
cial nand ever made. A single finger OF
it is about as large as an ordinary man,
and each finger nail is about the size of
u dinner plate. The hand holds torch,
the extremity of which forms a platform
on which ten men can stand. According
to the scale on which this hand is made,
the height of the statue when completed
will be one hundred and twenty feet.
1t is to stand on pedestal one hum
dred feet high, SO that the total altitude
from the ground to the summit Will be
two hundred and fifty feet. There will
be staircase inside, and through the
arm out to the platform forming the ex-
| tremity Of the torch. The part of the
| arm already here carries It's portion oi
the staircase with it, and Is SO huge that
| TOR transportation 1t had to be con.
structed in parts which could be taken
asunder and put together again. The
cost of the statue proper is assumed by
the French; that of the pedestal is left
to be betrayed by American contribu
tions. The entire cost, it is estimated
will be about $120 900, of which one-half
or about $4,000, is already collected

DR.. NJ. b. Graf, OF Dayton street, has
invented railroad car-couplings and
bumper. OF the many inventions of the
kind, this is far the most simple and
complete. 1t is so arranged that a man
on top of the freight car can set the
coupling in an instant and pass on TO
the next. As it acts automatically no
further attention is required. What
ever the force may be in the cars coming
together it is sure TO lock. In cutting
the trnia it Can be worked instantly.
Being operated by man on the cars
the danger to life in the old way OF
coupling is entirely avoided.
The advantages it has over the old
style and all others is its simplicity,
cheapness, rapidlty Of operating and be-
ing without danger to the operator.
When required it can be used with the
present style Of links and pins. In
changing to this coupling all the old
links and pins can be utilized and the
change attended with but little ex'
pense.

Alexander Cox, the recently dis
charged engineer on the No. Engine
Company, Ninth and Freeman streets,
went into the engine-house yesterday to
get some articles of his which he left
there. Meeting with Stephen Burdge,
driver OF the engine team, Cox accused
him OF circulating petition for the dis

words they came TO blows, Cox getting

Finally, seeing that Burdge was too
much for him, Cox drew small knife
and cut his antagonist twice-once in
the breast and on the shoulder, breaking
the point OF the'knife, to which crcum-
stance Burdge owes his life. The wounds
are not necessarily dangerous. Cox was
soon after arrested and taken to the
