STANDING OF THE DELE
GATES

'The mathematicians of the press are
still busily engaged in figuring on the
outcome of the Chicago convention, but,
unfortunately for the general reader, the
near approach of that important event
has not tended to simplify the situation,
and the same discrepancies in the esti-
mates of the advocates of the different
candidates are apparent, which have
been noticeable ever since the sagacious
politicians first began To cast the hOrO-
scope for the national convention. The
result of the recent convention in Illinois
has done more than any one thing to de-
termine the final result of the third
term movement, and however ques-
tionable were the means employed
to secure the instructions of the
state for Grant, il cannot he denied that
the effect of the Springfield convention
has been to strengthen the political CON-
binatiOn which demands the nomination
Of the ex-president. We do not believe
that the people ut large share in this
clamOr for "strOng government" and
despite the fact that should the unit
rule be enforced at Chicago, General
Grant will doubtless be the nominee, it
cannot be controverted that there is an
intensely strong anti-third term feeling
prevalent throughout the Republican
states of the north, whose votes must be
in November.
The Blaine estimate places the vote on
the first ballot at the Chicago conven.
tion as follows: Grant, 262; Blaine, 1923
Sherman, "a; Edmunds, 80; Washburne,
IL. This calculation is based upon a
division of the New York delegation in
the proportion of 40 for Grant and
90 for Blaine, and gives % of the Penn.
sylvania delegation to Blaine and 3G to
Grant. Illinois is given solidly to
Grant.
The Grant estimate, predicated upon
the solid delegations of New York, Penn.
sylvania and Illinois, stands as follows
Grant, 1913; Blaine, 1863; Sherman, 96
Edmunds, 90; Washburne, 13. AS 379
votes are necessary to choice, this
showing insures Grants nomination ON
the first ballot.
The friends of Secretary Sherman claim
for him 219 delegates, making his full
strength on the the first ballot by the ad.
dition of the eight Louisiana delegates
who have been instructed for him, 227
votes.
These estimates, of course, are all
more or less inaccurate, and must be ac.
cepted with due degree of allowance
for the liberal share of personal and par
tisan bias which appears in the varied
results of the calculations reported
above. Enough can be gathered, how.
ever, TO predict with pretty fair measure
of safety that the nomination of Gen
eral Grant now depends uTOn the solidity
of the Pennsylvania, New York and
Illinois delegations and the enforcement
of the unit rule at Chicago. The usage
of the Republican party is that delega-
tions shall not be Handicapped by this
arbitrary rule, and if it is abrogated as
it should be, ut the national convention,
there is no reason for its friends to hope
for, or its Opposers to fear a victory of
the third-term movement

FOR THE. NOMINEE

Those sanguine Democratic editors
who are counting upon q survival of the
present difference among Republicans
after the Chicago convention, are reckon
ing without their host. That very
warm feeling prevails among the advo-
Gates Of the different candidates promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the presidency it would he folly TO deny,
and more than absurd to cOntrovert.
Every Republican journal of
pronounced tendencies, rs, indeed every
individual member of the party,
entertains very decided preference for
some one of the leading candidates in
the field, but this does not argue that
personal bias has dominated party al
legiance. or that fealty to the grand prin-
ciples of the Republican party depends
on the selection of any one man. While
the NEWS is very decidedly in favor Of
Blaine. and would prefer that the third.
term movement should not triumph AT
Chicago. it has always pledged
itself to the support of the
nominee of the national convention. be
cause it has enough confidencein the wis
dom of the Republican party to en-
dorse its actions at the hands OF
its trusted leaders, and believes
that the safety of the country
depends upon the perRetuity of its
power This, we believe, is the spirit Of
Republicans at large, and while it is the
privilege of every person to plainly ex
press his convictions regarding the ex
pediency of this or that line Of action by
the Chicago convention, there will be NJ
hesitation in accepting its results anC
working for the election of the nominee

DIsASTRous FAILuRE.

Tie suspension of the Reading coal
and iron company and its adjunct, the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad COM
pany, is the most important failure that
has occurred since the panic of 1873.
By it 1000 men are thrown out of EN-.
ployment, and as the bankruptcy of the
two concerns involves the enormous
amount of $lss, 900, 900 in stocks and Sc
curities, it is not a matter of surprise
that the shock of this business disaster
has been felt even in the financial circles
of Europe.
This collapse Is the resnlt of the in
ordinate ambition of the managers ol
the suffering corporations, who, moi
content with the successful operation o.
their own interests leased all the Goa
lands they could command with a view
TO monopolizing the anthracite market

the Georgia Central railway, one of the
richest corporations IN the South, and a
man of large wealth, but possessed of no
qualifications which will fit him for the
dignitied position which he has APP
parently sought. This fact, coupled
with the more significant one OF Cor
d0n's acceptance of n very lucrative
office in the corporation controlled by
Brown, has led to the suspicion that the
entire transaction was a bargain-and-sale
