Grants Prospects,

The action of the Republican convention
OF Cook county secures the state conven-
ton to Grant. It means a delegation
from Illinois for the ex-president. It is 8
case of Republican greed with this varia-
tlon-the hog programme as carried out,
GRANTEES to secure delegation to Chica
go from Illinois, is asked. The answer
is easy enough. Grant at present, outside
OF Chicago has clear majority of 100 in
the state convention. The Cook county
delegations will not be admitted until the
contest is decided. Grants managers
having majority of the delegates outside
of Chicago will control the temporary
organization. q committee on credentials
will be appointed favorable to Grants iu-
terests. and the result will be the admis
sion OF the Grant delegation from Chicago.
and further result will be, full Grant
delegation to the National convention TO-
structed TO vote for the ex president first,
last and all the time. Logan will be
careful, too. that the delegates selected
are of the right sort, and the grand out
come of the matter will be the nomination
by the Republican party of Gen, q. 8.
Grant, as the candidate for president
The grand finale will be his ignominious
defeat. Had there been no split at Chi
cago, Grant would possibly not have
carried the delegation from this state, as

stss sitxasioa.

There has not been 30 much enthusiasm
10 the ranks of the Democracy in years. as
now exists. and general feeling of conf
dence pervades the party, There are
several reaso0s for this feeling of assur
anee. not the least of which is the disseB-
sions now existing in the ranks OF the Re
pubiicans. It matters not who be uomi
mated by the stalwarts at Chicago, there
will be so much bitterness engendered that
will be impossible for the Republicans
to enthuse as heartily as has been the
CUSTOM. If Grant be the nominee. open
revolt is threatened. and the same would
occur, though in less aggravated form,
lie Blaine or Sherman be the nominee. At
one-time Washburne's nomination would
have been the strongest. bat within the
past week, the course he has pursued has
alienated the Grant element from his sup
port, and thousands in Illinois alone who
would have cheerfully supported him.
would now leave no stone unturued to
secure his defeat, He stands to day In
the light of man who, while protesting
lux Was IOony
for himself, and now his dupiicity is
made manifest beyond the shadow of q
doubt. Such treaohery, no matter under
what pressure it is enacted. is most disre>
patabie. unmanly and ungenerous, and we
venture to say that the very course he has
pursued has done more to help Grants
nomination than anything else. Those who
have been bitterly opposed to Grant and
really opposed him. with not labor as hard
to defeat him at Chicago, now that the
duplioity of Washburne is manifest, but
will allow Grant to be nominated at Chr
dago through default. 1t Mr.. Grant is
made the standard bearer of the Repubii-
can party and the party compelled to carry
the odium which attaches, the fault is char
geable to the laundering leaders of the
Blaine w ashburne-Sherman factions. and
when defeat comes, which surely will, no
matter who be nominated, the blame will
rest with the hot headed leaders who al
lowed their zeal to outweigh their judg-
ment. AS for Washburne. he will be
buried-uncared for--unknown forgotten

Bob Ingersol has been to Cincinnati and
of course interviewed. In the course of his
remarks on the presidency he expressed a
firm faith that Blaine will be nominated
at Chicago. and that Grant cannot get it;
that Blaine can carry Indiana; that the
democratic nominee will be TildeD, and
that the democrats have a better chance
of electing their nominee than have the
republicans. He electrified the reporter
by volunteering the belief that Hayes
could not be reelected if he had no op-
ponent, because there would be enough
scattering votes to defeat him.
Inlersol always did have whitening
contempt for Hayes, but this last cut. is
the most sarcastic he has ever admins
tsred:so the great fraud who, occupies the
seat which belongs to Samuel J.ETilden.

There are only 15s delegates yet to be
chosen to the Republican national con
vention. and of this number. the Inter
OceGE claims at least 100 for Grant, which
according to its estimates will give the
ex-president 400, without counting Illinois.
This is no doubt partial statement. the
Inter Ocsan being SO firmly welded to its
idol, Grant, as to build its hopes on an
unsafe foundation. but even though there
be detection from this list. it is certain
thing that Grant has the inside track.

PIrTsBURo, Pa, November 25.-
There was q quiet cremation at Dr..

placed in the retort. The ashes will
be removed tomorrow.

The Alaska Despotism.

During the recent campaign, Mr..
Cassidy, of Nevada, in a speech deliV-
cred at Virginia City, pointed out the
fact that Alaska is the only territory
acquired by the United States under
republican rule, and that its acquisi-
ton was followed by the organization
of the Alaska commercial company,
to whom was committed, during the
term of Mr.. Boutwell, in the Office of
the secretary Of the treasury, the abso-
Lutte and exclusive control ofthe whole
region BOUGHT from the Russian gov.
eminent for $1.5OO,0OO in gold coin.

ferred to:

and the Alaska company to pay their
salaries. This gives the government
