This is treated by hn,h parties ai II mat
ter ui Indifference. 1t Democrat is
choa"n-and the selection will probably
bo made from that pnrty--ho will only
hc able 20 protest against any proceed
ing which may not please his party, and
refuse 10 siSu reports Of the Board, hut
he will not ho called upon to manage

cases. Counsel for the Republican and

present. The general impression here
il that the Returning Board will COLI
sumo the entire ii,nG between now and
the day Oh which tho Electors arc re-

While war is not yet considered in
cyitablc, England, Russia and Turkey
continue war preparations on gigantic
scale. The situation is SO narrowed
down row that il Is simply question
whether England and Russia will
combine to compel Turkey la settle
tho difficulty, or will hy taking n
divergent comrso prCcipithta II great
conflict involving all three. If Eng
land refuses 10 accept Rusaia's dc.
in"nd ~ basis for ihn proposed con.
ference, she must fight or retreat
from tho whole question, leaving
Turkey to hor fate. English public
sentiment docs not sustain Earl
lIcnconiicld's mCnacca, or favor war
to defeat Eussia'g Interference in Lc.
half Of Turkeys Christian victims.
Russia evidently intends to persist,
oven II England fights for Turkey,
but still British Consola fnil to show
thu. England really cXpccta tho war
which dopoudg solely oil her NcIion.
