RUSSIA.
Financial DifIcuItIes-Th Domestic Loan
Failure.

LcNDoN, July ia dispatch from st.
Petersburg says It is understood In finan-
cial circles that the Finance Minister, Gar
M. Greg, has become convinced that the con-
templated domestic loan Of 60,000,000 roubles
would be failure. The people are generally
destitute of spare funds, and those who have
the means are not inclined to loan them to
the government. The Finance Minister is
compelled to raise an extra revenue by some
means, and the project Of an income tax is In
contemplation.
One serious objection to 1t Is the difficulty
of securing honest collections Of such an inn
post, and Of preventing collusion between the
taxpayers and officers. 1t is thought that not
one-half of the amount that should be real
lied would ever find its way into the treas
ury. The revenue from all sources last year
was 400,O0O,0O0 roubles; total debt funded
and unfunded, including paper money, is
100000, 900, 900 roubles. There is deficit OF
IOO,OOO,O0O roubles to be now met.

NEW YORK POLITICS.

Both the great parties in New York held
state conventions this week, the Democrats
meeting at Syracuse on Wednesday, and the
Republicans at Saratoga on Thursday. The
Democratic convention was nearly equally di-
vided between 9ammany and antl-Tammany
delegates--in other words between 1flden and
anti .Tllden, the anti-Tilden, or Tammany
delegates, being in the majority, The opening
proceedings were, in consequence rather
stormy and at one time the Tilden delegates
threatened to withdraw in II body, but finally
the conflicting elements were reconciled and
the convention proceeded to do up Its business
harmoniously-ss business consisting SIM
ply in the nomination of candidate for Judge
of the Court of Appeals and the adoption Of n
platform. Geo i. Danforth was unanimously
nominated for judge, and the platform adopted
consists of two short resolutions, rc-atrming
the platforms adopted in 1874 and 1871 con-
tlcmning the fraud by which Hayes was count
ed in as president, and declaring in favor of u
paper currency at all tunes convertible into
coin and the honest payment of the public debt.
The Republican convention was so harmo-
NOUS throughout as to be called love feast,
all the dscordant elements having submitted
to Conkling running the machine III his own
sweet way. He was made temporary and per-
manent chairman, drew up the platform, and
made the only regular speech. The platform,
