Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1880-06-04

The telegraph tells us, says the vir-
ginia Chronicle, that the New York Sun
considers that Grant, whether he be sue
cessful at Chicago or not, is already for
ever disgraced by his attempt to secure a
third term.
Not only is Grant disgraced by the
third-term conspiracy, but the Republi-
can party, whose foremost men have engi-
neered the scheme, and whose newspa-
pers, with few exceptions, stand ready,
in the event of Grants nomination, to
advocate the breaking down of a wise
and venerable custom, which the greatest
and best men of the Republic from Its in
ception down to the present time have
regarded as one Of the stoutest safeguards
of our liberties.
Grants nomination would wreck the
Republican party swiftly and violently.
The attempt to nominate him has itself
fatally weakened the respect of all pa
triotic and intelligent men for the party,
and nothing that the party can now dc
will redeem it from the position in which
it has allowed its spoil-hunting leaders to
place it.

Yesterdays proceedings in the Chicago
Convention will be found at length in
our Geographic columns. Nothing of a
decisive nature was accomplished, beyond
the permanent organization. The Com
mittee on Credentials is still wrestling
with the contested cases.
Ii anything possessing significance is
to be gathered from the dispatches it is
that the Grant men are playing for time.
The account seems to be a little mixed,
though Logan and other prominent Grant
supporters spoke in opposition to hurry
ing the Committee. Conkling wanted
the Committee to report as far as it had
gone. The amendment offered by Sharpe,
calling for a full report Immediately was
rejected by a vote of 3lS to 405. The
latter number, we infer, represents the
Grant strength. If SO he still has the
best chance for the nomination, though
it is the province of the Committee on
Credentials to whittle down his vote as
much as possible.
It is not likely a nomination will be
made to-day, and possibly a choice will
not be reached for several days. There
will no doubt be a determined and hotly
contested fight over the reports of each
of the committees, on platform, cre-

SAYS the Buffalo Courier: Nor will it
do to bring forward Ingersoll again.
That worthy's speech in the Cincinnati
Convention Of 1876 was admirable in its
way, but the Illinois orator, in attempt
ing the sane task, would De sure to fall
below his former effort and disappoint
expectation. He made a great stroke on
that occasion, because his appearance was
o surprise. Moreover, Ingersoll is now
in such an attitude toward religious
people that a cautious politician will
think twice before accepting his advo-
cacy. Blaine should look about for an
unknown orator, who will play at Chicago
the roll Of Ingersoll at Cincinnati.

The Philadelphia Times AYERS that Don
Cameron is not going to get the worst of
things at Chicago. 1t says: 1t is a fact
of some significance that Sherman delays
the appointment of a Collector at the
instance of Senator Cameron. 1t looks,
after all, as if uncle and nephew were not
so wide apart on the Presidency. and that
Cameron holds che Sherman reserves for
Grant when the decisive moment arrives.
1t may be that somebody is to be cheated
in the deal, and, if SO, we want to get in
early with our guess that it won't be
Cameron.

THE Illinois State Convention at
Springfield was nearly. AZ boisterous, and
created nearly as much excitement as the
present National Convention. This is
what the st. LOUIS Republican had to
say about it
The Illinois Convention will long be re-
membered because it violated all prece-
dents in its organization and work. because
Of the summary and cruel manner in
which it ground the Grant opposition to
powder, because it 10 Charlie Farwell's
Waterloo. because 1t was the longest ever
held in the State, lasting the full three
days. because it was the most disorderly
m boisterous and ~riotous. and the most
cowardly, and because II marks the begin

A PRESIDENTIAL year, the Washington
Post asserts, isn't a favorable time for
third parties. There isn't room for them
to skirmish between the two great poll
teal armies. We notice that the Green
back Conventions of this summer show a
thinness, a sort Of goneness, a general
flavor of mild decay. They try to make
up for this attenuation by the abnormal
pomposity and s~tupendous length of their
resolutions. As the woman remarked to
her ague-stricken offspring, ''the thinner
he gets the louder he roars."

The New Mining Board.
NEW YORK, June 3.-The Tribune says {:
The New York new Mining Exchange was
opened yesterday, and it became at once
an important factor in the business life of
the city. Its influence will be of q conserv-
alive character. for it will tend to diminish
speculation in worthless stocks, and to put
the business of mining the precious metals
on the plan of other legitimate and profit
able industries. Transactions in other
mining securities are now so la, ge and the
enterprises with which they connect them
selves are attracting such general interest
that the organization OF such an institution
as the Exchange was almost a necessity.
1t il in excellent hands, aud is destined to
do good work in the direction Of making
mining investments safe and popular.
