Warren Chase proposes that "the sixty
thousand clergymen OF the United
States meet in Philadelphia this Cen
tennial year, and decide by vote, as the
old councils did, just WHAT'S the word Of
God, what it means, and which doctrine
is true and which false, full reports OF
the debate and votes to be published,
and in order that the work may be faith
fully done, all churches shall continue
the salaries OF their preachers during
this council. Also, that until these
questions are settled, the people build
no more churches, employ no more
preachers, and pay no more pewrent, as
they msy be sustaining error0y doing DO.

IT rs unquestionably true that MT.
Combines friends have recently expe-
rieneed great revival of interest and
confidence in his nomination. A Wash,
lngton correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, by no means an adherent ol
: Conkling, writes thus Of the New York
Senator:
"Mr. Conkling is serene and apparently in
different as to the result, but his friends claim
that he will go into the Convention with the
vote Of the State of New York to start from
and that other large delegations will speedily
wheel into his column. His following al
Cincinnati will comprise adroit poll
ticians, trained by Seward and
Weed; merchants and bankers to influence
the property element In the Convention; genial,
good fellows, who win seek to capture distant
delegates by hespitalities. with sprinkling Of
the b'hoys 10 drink at bars, to talk in hotel cor
Tidors, and cheer in the galleries Of the Con-
pention when COnkling's name Is mentioned
The Conkling organization is perfect; with "a
place for every man and every man in his
place. a well-flled military chest, and-be-
yond doubt-the support of the Administra-
tion. speak whereof I know when / assert
that Roscoe Conkling is the fayorite candidate
Of Ulysses s. Grant"
We are not at all sure that the stsup.
port Of the Administration may not
prove to be Mr. Conkling's execution

THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

THE STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
held In this city yesterday, was COM
posed of very respectable body Of men.
The best elements Of the party were
here to deliberate upon the public Issues
soon to be submitted to the country.
There was very little interest mani
tested in the nominations for the State
officers. The Secretary of STATE taking
the priority as to political consequence,
leaves the State ticket Of but small ac-
count in any event.
The real. and almost the only, subject
matter OF controversy In the Convention
arose in reference to the Alien-Thurman
contest over the Presidential nomina-
'tion. Family feuds are always found
the hottest and most embittered. This
was strictly family feud; and was
therefore exceedingly unrelenting
and bitter. There is no doubt but
that Thurman ha6 majority
among the delegates; and had a direct
vote been taken when the Convention
first assembled, as between him ana his
uncle, his name would have largely pre-
ponderated for recommendation to the
National Convention as the nominee of
the Democratic party.
But the willy manipulation Of the plat
form, which succeeded in placing Thur
man on one and Allen on the other,
though neither was appropriately there,
had the effect to convert the delegates
from the support Of Thurman to Allen,
as in defense of the platform. And just
as the platform was presented by mi.
nority report, so the preferred candi
date was really indorsed by minority
vote, il personal preference had beer
consulted.
The consequences flowing from this
Convention can not be regarded as al
allencouraging to Democratic prospects,
The very men who voted for Allen yes
terday, did SO, well knowing that AL.
lens nomination at st. Louis was utterly
out of the question in any conceivable
event. Thurman's chances are, conse'
qnently, seriously impaired, while AL
LENS are not at all strengthened. Ohio
has therefore neutralized her power In
the National Convention.
The result of this will be to give Gov
ernor Tilden the inside track for the
nomination as against all competitors.
by uniting upon him the whole power OF
the sound money element OF the Demo
cratic party; aud that is unquestionably
the strongest element of that party in
the United States. By thus uniting
upon Tilden there remains but small
chance for the divisions and subdivisions
Of the soft money candidates.
Had Thurman received the Conven-
tion's endorsement, there would have
been great probability of his nomination
as a compromise man between the two
currency extremes Of the party. But
Allen is too utterly "soit' ON currency
to be at all acceptable only to the Wild
est inhationists OF the party. 1t would
seem that Thurman's alter ego, John g..
Thompson, was utterly out in the cold
yesterday, and altogether unseryiceable
in staying the falling fortunes OF his
chief.
Taken altogether the doings OF the
Convention can not harmonize the party
elements, and may prove, indeed, an
opening wedge for rendins 1t in twain
during the further progress Of the cam
paign.

1852, $3.50, ,00o, 900 Of isgal-tsnder would buy In
the market tl47 900 In gold coin. In June,
1894, s4oo, 100000 Of legaltenders would BY only
si4O, 100000 In gold coin.
But what party was in power Who
made tho changer What party is re-
sponsible for issuing s400, 900, 900 legal
tenders when that s400, 100000 would
not purchase as much as the s1bO, ,O00,-
900 already out2 Who is responsible
for this squandering Of s250,000, 900,
which together with its interest would
today amount to s436, 100000, or one
fifth of the whole national debt? Is
there any wonder there is want OF
confidence?
Further on he says:
When the hrst three hundred millions Of legal
tenders were issued they could be funded at the
option Of tho holder In $40 bonds In sums OF
$50 and any multiple thereof. This provision
gave a fixed, determinate character 10 the legal
tender, connected II with other Government is-
sues by an equated value, made II an integral
part Of our whole system Of public credit, and es-
tabished Il, In short, as sort Of balance wheel
to our somewhat compiicat financial machinsry.
30 long as that provision was In force the money
Of tho people was precisely as good and just the
same US the money Of the bondholder. by mis-
taken policy, MS / venture TO afirm, this section
Of the law, on the request Of Secretary Chase was
repealed after due notice given, and the moment
that was done the legal-tender became a sort Of
financial orphan among u.s. II had thenceforward
no connection or relationship with any other is-
sue by the Government; 1t measured nothing
Itself and was measured by nothing, and ever
since that day II has had TO fight Its own battle,
not merely unaded by other forms Of public
credit, but in a sense con stantly hindered by
them.
He says SO long as that provision
the convertibilty clause) was in force
the money Of the people was precisely
as good and Just the same as the money
of the bondholders; but who, what
party made the change, made the
money of the bondholder better than
that of the people? Then l ask again
is there any wonder that there Is
want of confidence in your party by
these people whose Representatives you
are, whose money You have by your
legislation made worth less than the
money of the German and English
bondholders?
And so we might continue from Con-
gress to Congress and We would see
that nearly all the Legislation has been
IN the interest Of the bondholders and
against the people. There have been
constant changes and fluctuations Of
policy, SO that no one knows what
day may bring forth.
But must pass on.

the present depressed condition OF the

[From the Philadelphia Times, August l2th.l
Frequent among the exclamations
evoked by the bewilderment of the
Centennial is al wonder how much
money all this is worth |" Its intrinsic
value is certainly greater than most
people imagine, and cannot be accu-
rately known until a thorough census
is made by special officers appointed
by the Centennial authorities, q thing
not likely to be done, owing to the
immense cost Of such an undertaking.
The chiefs OF the various departments
Of the Exhibition contemplate giving
each exhibitor a blank report, which
is to be filed up to show the value of
his exhibit and the number of articles
which he displays. These blanks are
to be returned TO the chiefs, who will
compile the statistics. II is very doubt
fdl, however, whether the report made
from these figures will bc wholly true,
because many exhibitors showing goods
worth $4,000 have an ambition TO
make people believe that they are
worth $4,000. There is little difficulty
in learning the value OF every structure
on the grounds, from the Main Build
ing down to the smallestpop-corn stand I;
nor in ascertaining that OF the contents
Of all Of them except the Main Building,
Machinery Hall, Memorial Hall, the
Art Annex, horticultural Hall, the
Government Building, Agricultural
Hall, the Women's Pavilion, and posi-
bly, two or three others. But estimates
of these may be made with sufficient
approximation to give fair idea OF
the total commercial value OF the great
est international exhibition the world
has yet seen. For instance, in the
case Of Machinery Hall, when it is con-
sidered that rough calculations of the
value of miscellaneous machinery are
made by fixing its average price, by
the pound, at twenty-five cents, it is
