Prospects for m agreement on tho im-
portaut appropriation bills havo frightened
materially within the past twonty-four hours,
and there is reason to expect TINT the wilc
differences will be no narrowed and bridgcd
over as to admit Of the passage Of tho BILLS.
There have been large concessions on both
sides notably from tho House Domo.
Gratis, who have evidently concluded
that their mulish obstiuacy and lofty
arrogation of tho lion's sharo Of
wisdom and economy hnvo not impressed
the country SO profoundly as to afford en-
courngemcnt for continued effort in tho snme
direction. Mr.. RANDALL Inns vacatod his post
at tho head Of tho Conference Committee on
the Army bill, and IT Ia understood TINT tho
House will waivo Its clause in tho Hundry
Civil bill for tho repeal Of tho Election law,
50 that there Is likelihood Of agreement on
these bills.

q Chicago has fred the first gun in the Pres

squaroly and with telling offoct, Tho nalres
Of HAYES and Wurx1En were not Oh tho suc-
oossful ticket, but tho word "Nepublican "
was, and by that sign wo conquered. The
Democrats brought out thoir full strength,
and were ignomintously boaton. They
trotted ont KxpA11. for tho Hwallow-t tails,
ant1 McGRArn for the shorthairB, expecting
by the non-partisan aud cmincptly-rcspect-
able dodge to draw oil q considerable support
from the Republican nominee, and THUS to
enable tho regular short-haircd wing Of the
Democracy to run in JtM MoGHAw,
whose election they would have
claimed ~ a Democratic victory. The
Republicans blocked this game by
voting straight for their nominee and elect
ing lin by o rousing majority on o light
vote. They carried every one Of the eighteen
wasds for HzArH, who in almost every in
stauce received moro votes than his two op-
ponents combined. Chicago did this yes.or-
day because size wanted Republican Mayor; i;
and 1t is indicative Of what she will do in

famous resolution TINT, whorevor It was prao-
ttcal1e, tho Copporheals OF tho War havo
boon selected to cnrry the nows to TfLpEx Of
hls nomination. Ashining instance Of this f3t-
ness Of selection may 10 found In tho person
Of tho Indiana courier to T1LDEs, DAYLEsa
". Hanna, Of Torre Hauto. At tho Demo-
crntio Convention held In indianapolis In
1864, about tho aamo timn that TttpEN was
putting himself on record in opposition to
tho War, tho I1oosier penco apostle, A1r.
Hanna, rose In hts whito robcs md waved
his ralrn.brnnch as follows:
R<sofsed, That the War now Devastating onr be.
loved country Is Of Itself tho greatest eyl in the
ayes of tho American people, and that tho inauman
barbafitics, 10 often taking place on both stdes,
nro Of themselves necessity 10 tho conhict; TINT
merc change in tho mode OF conducting the War
will not overcome tho csil, aud tho pcrpetuntton
Ut our Government requires tho sncody ending Of
the War.
Par mobile Jtdtrun.i HANNA mud T1LDEa
The cordially with which tl,ese two veter-
ans, who fired so courngoorsly in the roar in
1864, will meet each other, may bo imagined.
In the light Of such resolutions as these, 1t is
not difficult 10 understand tho support of tho
Chicago Times. If IlEspn1ogs had been
nominated it could havo howlod louder for
him because he WAS in favor Of secession. It
can support TnpKN as peace man without
my difficulty, since TnDaH md tho Times oc-
cupied the same ground during the Var.
They were both Of tho opinion tint, after
"four years Of failure" the North should
yield to tho South, md TINT hostilities should
ocaso, mud they both fred into tho rear with
all tho industry Of which they were capable.
As Veterans Of the Copperhead campaign in
the rear Of tho Northern boys in blue, they
understand each other perfectly, and the
Times support Is logical and consistent.

T,9 result of yesterdays municipal cleo
tion proves tho folly of non-partisan OK
periments at time whom party spirit is Mt
its height TuE TRIBUNE has steadily 1nain-
tained that there was general desire among
the Republicans Of Chicago for straight
Republican nomination for the Mayoralty-a
general feeling that this was good year to
eleot as Mayor Republican candidate for
whose administration. IL elected, the ltopub-
ucan party would hold itself responsible.
The vote Gust for MONROE HEATH yesterday
Ia an evidence Of tho corrcctncga Of this view.
Tho Republicans came out solid for tho
party nominee, and his SUCCESS is indisputably
pn1ty victory. Chicago is Republican
city, md, as tho Republicans nominated tho
best man, they deserved 10 succeed.

REGULARS OR RANGERS,

Con. SHERMAN Ia reported rs having e.
pressed an opposition to tho achemo already
favored by many Western congressman for
accepting tho services Of volunteer Rangers
to aasiBt the army in tho war against the
Sioux Indians. There arc certainly so,no So
rious objections to the plan, though tho
hangers would make quick and effective
campaign against SITTING Bull and his MUIR
derous eavagos. Ono Of these objections is
TINT tho Government would have another
war Legacy on its hands, which would last
forty or fifty years aftor the Sioux had boen
whipped and the war ended. Every man
who is now anxious aud oager to have his
Borvices accepted for specified sum OF mon-
ey would hereafter become clients Of tho
claim-agents. Soon aftor being mustered out
the claim-agonts would organize campaign
against tho Treasury for lanl.sorip, md next
for unpromisol bounties. Tho widows and
relatives Of the man who would happen
to got killed. or lio in hospital
would come In for pensions during
their lives. For tho next score Of yeara, AZ
fast as tho mon themselves lost their health
from any causo, tho clai,n-agents would pro-
cure for them physicians certificates that the
failing health was duo to tho lardships on.
counterod in the Sioux campaign. After tie
lapse OF certain period, tho claim-agonts
would bully aud whecdlo Congrossin putting
MI tile survivors or their widows On tho
pension list for the remainder OF their lives.
By taeso and similar devices, the original
cost Of, say, $40, ,0o0, GOO for Rangers for
fighting the Sioux would swell to $40, COO, COO
or 800, ,000, 900 before the country would see
the end Of it. This has been the experience
Of tho American people in all former wars.
We have Just about got through settling
up tho claims Of the Revolutionary War,
although We are celebrating the end Of tho
first century. We haven't yet exhausted the
stock Of pensioners and claimants left to us
by the War Of 1879, The "veterans Of
the Mexican War are In their prime, and
their wives, children, and relatives are as the
sands OF tho sea-shore. OF course, We have
only begun on the War Of the Rebellion, and
another Centennial will be celebrated before
the uuited States shall bo dono with The
swelling bounties and pensions growing
