THE SiTU1TJON At CHICAGO.

So Mr. Cameron subsidies. 1t WAS time. He
came near DESTROYING a party which million
men like him would not be big enough to
create And yet he subsidized with grace and
dignity, when the fight was over, and will
probably be a more useful member Of the Con-
vention for the consciousness that he does not
carry it altogether in his pocket.
Mr.. Hoar, the candidate named by the anti
Grant members has been chosen chairman
without opposition. That ends the chance of
snap Judgment and trickery. The Convention
will vote, il may be inferred, without the unit
rule in action, upon the report OF the Com
mittee on Credentials, and there is little room
to doubt that, in this mode of voting, the anti
third term forces are in the majority. Prob
ably the cOntesting delegates from Illinois will
be admitted, therefore, and the Grant force
Will be cut down materially by this and other
changes. The Committee on Credentials has
been appointed in accordance with the usual
rules, an it is decidedly anti-third-term. A
majority report from this Committee, i'll respect
to all the parts of delegations which the Oppo-
nents Of Grant contest, may be reasonably
expected, and the Convention, voting by dele
gates, will undoubtedly support the majority
report wherever 1t is well sustained.
The Convention passes to It's second stage,
therefore, with the anti third term men in full
control, The unit rule cannot be enforced uu-
less clear majority Of the Convention can he
brought to enforce it against ITSELF for some OF
the men whose votes must be lad to enforce
the unit rule at all are men who would be prac-
tically muzzlcd and dlsfranchised by its ell
fOrcement. With Mr. HOar III the chair, there
is no reason to fear any brutal disregard of the
will of delegates on this or other preliminary
questions, and the unit rue-the weapon with
which the third-term people hoped TO make
themselves masters of the Republican party
is no longer to be feared.
In short, the Republican party proves
stronger than its wOuld-he Bosses. Even MIR.
Cameron at last recognizes the fact that the Re-
publican party of this Nation cannot he con-
trolled precisely as he would control Il cOnyOca-
ton of his friends in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Logan
will uok in VAN for the desired majority to
sustain his audacious usurpatiOn in Illinois, and
the best of it is that the admission of delegates
actually representing the Republicans OF that
State will probably pave the way for hearty sup
port of the candidate to be nominated by The
Convention.
What il To comet One thing is evident-the
supporters of General Grant arc preparing q
way of retreat. Some Of them seem to be look
ing toward Senator Edmunds; Others arc
thinking Of Secretary Sherman possibly there
are some who have other candidates in mind

yJly pUySJcIlNY CONTENTION

While the great deliberations at Chicago have
been arr.sliug the attention of this whole country
the members u the American Medical Society, with
those of kindred IL. JratlUns have been quietly
holding their annual meetings in this city.
Machrth in his desperation, tells his doctor that
he would applaud him to the very echo if he could
find ont the disease of the land AMI purge ii To
a sound and pristine health That is tho business
of the political physicians gathered mt Chicago; and
q most responsible business, il is. Iut we must not
think. because they do not mako much nOiSo
that the durtOrs Of the body are of very much less
importance than tho doctors of the republic. The
former have had u reputation for dlSagrceing, and
their disputes about theory and practice have
nccasioncd deal of satire of il good and some
Of il not 50 good. Considering the fact that
whenever wc in the least bodily trihulation we
lncontincntly scnd for the DOCTOR it isn't much to
orr credit that when we are well again we begin to
critcsc him. and to doubt whether there is any such
thing rs a medical science The profession exists,
and has for ages existed through the confidence Of
mankind Without this, il could not last for day.
If ( had been the representative of hit or miss
cmpirci,m it would long ago have been found ont,
and the names of H., "apiuS and Galcn would have
been dishunorcd or forgotten.
II is customary also to speak Of the physician aS
bigocd, ~ welded to the b,undrrs and mistakes of
the past as ohsinatrly opposed to progress in
medical science This is one Of the most astonishing
and ungrncrous druSions hirh ever got possession
of the public mind. For If there Is any science
which has mado rapid and steady progress it il
that of mrdcinc. There is u notion to the con-
trry partly because quackS full of some new thing
have v0cfcr0usly proclaimed the inh0spitaty of
the medical faculty to fresh ideas and theories; and
partly because the public, which is the jury in the
case is dcnscly ignorant of the whole matter AMI
III no condition to judge whether the profession
has or has not advanced. The answer to this
charge is to be found in books which nobody reads
outside the faculty; and in the fact, which any one
can verify by little inquiry that not one real
medical discovery has been made for hundred
years which physicIans have not gladly welcomed
and acted upon. Sometimes, it is true. they have
bccn cautious but sometimes the other hand
they have been Ovcr-hasty. DUggedly opposed

These annual meetings are Il proof of the pcryad-
ing desire of the profession for its advancement in
all ncnuino knowledge. They afford IN opportunity
for the comparison of personal experiences. and for
fine careful examination of novelties We may
congratulate the members Of the American Medical
Sorirty rYon the excellent spirit manifested during
their d, alterations; and wish them, after this recess
from ne exhaustng tolls of their vacation, safe
r,furl To their laliOrs and their homes.

4 QUESTION or PRINCIPLE.

Mr.. Lincoln once made striking statement
of the fundamental Republican doctrine, that
@no man is good enough to govern another man
without that other mans consent" 1t IS this
Drinciple for which the anti-thlrd-tcrm party
has been contending at Chicago. Delegates
were sent to the Convention to represent the
wishes of their constituents in each Congress
sional District with respect to the choice OF
candidate for the Presidency, and on arriving
they were met by bold and well-organized
faction which assumed q right to dictate to
them how they should vote. This was an at
tempt of one man to govern another without
that other mans consent; and resistance was an
imperative duty.
So far the resistance has been c1ectual. The
opponents of the tyIannOus unit rule won an
important victory when they compelled the
Grant men TO abandon their purpose of apply
ing the gag at the very organization; and there
is every reason to believe that the Convention
will finally decide, as Republican National Con-
vcntions have invariably decided when the
question has been brought before them, that
no man is good enough to govern another man
without that other mans consent"
