SpeClal 10 the Oourler-JOurDal.l
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The ques-
ton discussed all over Washington
to-day is, What is the meaning OF
the Harrisburg convention; did Ran
dali or Wallace VIM" The answer
can best best be given probably in the
words ofRepresentative Klotz. Before
he left here, in answer to a question
as to which would win, he said neither;
the democratic party proposes to win
this fight in the interest of harmony
aud peace.
Both Speaker Randall and Senator
Wallace say that the breach has been
permanently healed, and that har-
mony is to be lasting. The former
said that neither he nor Wallace
could have stood in the way a mo-
ment; the convention was determined
that there should be harmony, and if
either n attempted to stand in the
way he would have been swept out of
sight. 1t was not the work of the
leaders, but of the rank and file of the
party. He said that every evidence
that peace was to be established, such
as his shaking hands with Wallace in
the hall, etc., was received with the
cheers of men who saw that all they
had determined on was to be brought
about without any contest. OF course
he was as much in favor of harmony
as any one there, but he disclaims all
credit for having brought it about; it
was in the air.
Senator Wallace says there are not
more than thirty.fve of the fifty eight
delegates chosen who are in favor of
Tilden, but he has impressed almost
all with whom he spoke that he is not
fully convinced of this. He talks like
one who has not won a victory. On
the other hand, friends of Randall
say that Tilden will have certainly
forty, and probably fifty, of the dele
gates chosen. They speak confdenS-
ly, and affirm that had a test been
made in the selection of delegates,
Tilden would have shown at least
fifty majority in the convention.

Chattanooga Times.l
A Washington telegram to the Gin
%cinnati Enquirer says:
Letters received at the capitol by
members of congress within the past
day or two from leading democrats
from Tennessee say that the delega-
ton from that state to the Cincinnati
convention will not be for Tilden.
The most influential party leaders Of
the state are generally for Tilden,
while the mostinfuential party papers,
with the Nashville American in the
lead, are against him.
This will be altogether in the ma
ture of news to those who know
something about the matter. Tennes-
see-i. e. the leaders of the party in
favored Mr.. Tilden' s
candidacy. The state was very solid for
Hendricks at st. Louis. The politi.
clans Of the more strictly professional
kind are for Bayard this year, as are
many Of the leading journals. We do
not know Of q single influential man in
the state who is now or ever has been
heartily in favor of Mr.. Tilden. They
are, in fact, for any body but Tilden.
He will not get a vote in the Tennes-
see delegation at Cincinnati. In say
lug this much we desire simply In
state the facts as we have learned
them. And we may further say that
Mr.. Tilden will not have any strength
in the south this year. Hewas strong
hero four years ago. He is the weak
est kind Of candidate now-for the
nomination. We believe the south
will poll a solid vote for the Cincinnati
nominee. But that nominee will moi
be Mr.. Tilden, if the south can pre-.

Knoxville Chronicle (Rep,) May 3D.
1t is seldom that we agree with q
democratic paper when it undertakes
TO give reasons for the selection of a
democratic candidate for any Office.
But the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf
dominates Hon. j. W. Olapp, of Mem
phis. for governor, and says:
with the great question so long
a bone Of contention in the state,
Judge Clamp is entirely familiar. He
would deal with it not as a dema
gogue, but as a statesman he would
not sit straddle the fence, seeking
the popular side on which to fall.
He would have a we'll defined
policy, and, above all, have
the nerve and courage to carry it
out. That policy would be consistent
1t would be honest. We have had
enough to do with dummies let us
elect a man who is fully capable Of
leading US out Of our troubles-in a
way that will not shock the common
honesty of mankind.
We believe every word here said
about Judge Clapp. He is a sound
state credit man, and would not swerve
from what he believes to be right on
this question to be governor. We
will be glad to see the democrats
nominate so sound a man.

Most men suspect and all politicians
know that the purchase Of legislative

that the money is often supplied by
men Of prominence in businessand So

to conviction by any ordinary jury. Is

Wonders OF a Meteor.

At o quarter to ten o'clock on Thurs
day night, says recent issue OF the
Columbus (Ga.) Inquirer, a meteor OF
extraordinary brilliancy was seen to
cross the heavens at very low alti-
tude. Rising in the south, it took a
northeasterly course, preserving a per-
fectly horizontal line in its journey.
1t was composed of three parts, which
were perfectly developed balls of an
equal size, and equi-distant from each
other. The first ball threw out a tail
which enveloped the two following
balls and extended several yards behind
them. This tail was exceedingly lumin-
Gus, save at the extremity, which was
somewhat indistinct, having q nebulous
appearance. Its motion was slow, and
was visible to the observer for full fifty
seconds. 1t did not fall to the ground
like other meteors, but continued its
course northeastward until lost sight Of.
1t was indeed brilliant and extraor-
dinary phenomenon.
