The result in the Democratic Convention
OF Pennsylvania on the 9th, was a defeat
OF Randall and revolution, and the success
Of Wallace, United States Senator, and rail-
road rings. Randall had inspired the re-
spect of the country in his conservative and
patriotic ruling during the Electoral count,
but he could not stand the pressure of his
party in the recent contest over the Potter
resolution, and his rulings as Speaker were
directly the reverse, in spirit, of those in the
Electoral count. Randall, like Judge Har-
ris, has lost his prestige as sagac ious poll
tician, and directly antagonized the para
mount sentiment of the country. As
between the Railroad Rings and Revo-
luton, represented respectively by the Wal
lace and Randall wings of the Pennsylvania
Democracy, it would be better to choose the
lesser of the evils, and therefore the country
will be disposed to congratulate Senator
Wallace on his success, and the defeat of
Randall and 'Tilden.
The declaration of the Convention in favor
OF investigating frauds, but in opposition to
''any attack upon the Presidential title as
dangerous to our institutions and fruitless
in its results" shows how Mr.. Potter, and
those who voted with him, have mistaken
popular sentiment, and have Numbered into
a dilemma that will cost them not only the
next Congress, but che next President, and
destroy all hopes OF success in 1880. The
Pennsylvania politicians, who are about as
smart as they make them, appreciate fully
the fact that more political capital is to be
lost than gained by re-opening the Presi-
Dental settlement.

ity, corruption and reckless partizanism,
that would wreck the government were there
not check in the other departments, under
Republican control.
We ask the people of Virginia to recur to
1860, and reflect over the steps then inaugu-
rated which eliminated in secession-how
feeble at first, and then gathering strength
as each aggressive movement was made. the
whole country was swept before tide of
passion and feeling, that arrested reason
and precipitated revolution. 1t was the hope
that similar storm of sectional feeling
would be inspired when the movement of
Mr.. Potter was instituted, and that the South
would present solid front in its support,
regardless OF consequences. The Northern
marplots who concocted the scheme, calcu-
lated upon this, for they would be powerless
without it. The Southern members of Con-
gress fell into the snare, under the whip of
party, and but for the mutterings Of disap-
proval and Indignation that came up from
the people, the diabolical plot would have
been attempted. 'N 'r w
1t seems to us that the reckless disregard
of,tbe interests of the country and the char
acter and stability of our Institutions, mani
tested in the adoption OF the Potter resolu-
ton, ought to satisfy the people that the
Democratic party cannot be trusted, and
that its relentless machinery, by which free
speech and free thought are effectually
suppressed, ought to be denounced by every
fair-thinking and peace-loving citizen.

Business Depresslo1l.

Business men cOtempOraneOuS with the
depression which commenced in 1873, and
who have not the personal experience of
other financial revulsions to teach them,
conclude that there is no prece dent to the
present stagnation. The New York Bulte-
tin presents the contrast of five years since
1873 and the collapse of 1887, by which it
will be seen that the reyulsion in trade now
realized is by ne means exceptionally Sc
we're:
1.-The amount of capital in this country in 1887
and the number of persons engaged in business
OF all kinds were much smaller than in 1878, but
the destruction to credit andth sacrifice of prop
erty was, comparatively, far greater and after
the lapse of five years there was nothing like the
vitality in business and firmness in prices and
abundance of unquestionable credit that exists
at the present time. In 1913 cotton was selling at
four cents, lowest price for fifty years pork at
Alto IS per barrel, with forced sales at IS. Ship
ments of beef were made to the West Indies at
$3.50 for new and at So for old, and flour was re-
failing at 81. In Albany eargoes of lumber were
selling at $3.50, the freight alone which vas &c.
Real estate in all cities sold at ruinous prices
to those owning it. At New Haven, lots in the
southern portion of the city which cost the pur-
chasers in 1886 from $35 to S40p front foot sold
in 1s43 at $3.50 per foot, and lots in northwestern
part, say in Hamilton and Wallace Streets which
in 1885 sold for $25 per front foot in 1913 brought
from 81 to $3.50 only. These evidences of con-
tnued panic. you will perceive, were over I'VE
years from its commencement in fact, there
was great dullpess in most departments of trade
for years after, and no substantial relief until
about ls4S."

Democratic Protest.

1t seems from the news By yesterdays pa
pers, that Mr.. Potter and his co-revolution-
lists are net to plunge the country into anar-
chy, without a solemn protest within the
Democratic ranks. At the meeting of the
Democratic caucus, Tuesday evening, Judge
Buckner, of Missouri, plainly told his DEM
ocratic colleagues that he CO uld not be bound
by the caucus, and Hon. Alex. Fl. Stephens,
of Ga, declared that it was his purpose to
act independently OF the caucus, and appeal
to the country to sustain him in the de-
Tense OF the integrity and existence of the gov
ernmen. He said that.the Potter investigation
would either result in "contemptible farce
or horrible tragedy" and that he would
have none of it. He has written sca.hing
letter in reply to the one published Monday
from Mr., Potter, which was to have appear
ed Yesterday.

We publish this morning the letter from
Judge Key, addressed to the people OF the
South. He is the Postmaster General, but
a democrat and ex-confederate soldier. His
warning is pertinent, and it is we'll for the
people of the South to heed it. 1t cannot be
soon forgotten how insidious and stealthy
were the first steps of secession in ls6O-61,
and how the people were rushed into ruin be-
fore they knew it. History frequently repeats
itself, and the country should frown upon
the incipient steps to revolution and anar-
civ.

Two months ago the prospect for revival
OF business was very encouraging. The agi-
lstion OF the tariff question in Congress and
the passage OF the Potter resolution, for the
purpose of inaugurating partizan investi-
CATION for partizan purposes, and thus re-
vlve sectional feeling in the country, has had
the effect to disturb the business interests of
The nation, to brighten capital, and suspend
all disposition to change Investments. Had
not the Democratic agitators, to relieve
themselves of the effect of the 'discreditable
record made by the present Congress, insti-
gated the agitation, the country would now
feel the stimulus OF returning confidence,
and the results OF peace and quiet through
out the sections. What may be the effect in a
business sense, and the duration of the agi-
tation no one can foretell. 1t will cost at
least million Of dollars, as estimateted by
Hon. Alexander II. Stephens, in actual cut
lay, and millions more in the disturbance of
the business of the country, while no sensi-
Bile man has any idea that any developments
will be made other than are now known. 1t
is wicked agitation for partizan purposes,
regardless OF the consequences to the coun-
try, and the Democratic party will be held
responsible for it.

The discussion in the Democratic Nation
al Committee, which met in Washington
last Friday, developed some interesting
facts: First, that Tilden had no formal
hold with either the leaders or masses Of the
Democratic party, and that he could not
again under any circumstances be an i'm
portant factor in any Democratic calcula-
tions; and further, that the alleged frauds in
the Presidential election were the only issue
upon which the Democrats could fight the
Congressional campaign this fall. The
whole object, therefore, of The Potter move
ment, is to get up a campaign sensation
about "fraud," to direct attention away
from the crooked and repulsive record Of the
present Congress. The developments, how
ever, of the investigation proposed, will not
help them any. They have prepared a
ditch, into which they will be very apt to
plunge themselves. n.l wa
