The national greenback convention, which
meets In Chicago to- day, will not attract much
attention or create any excitement. Following
upon the republican convention, 1t will be like
calm after storm. All political signs OF the
past year Indicate that the greenback party has
been rapidly diSintegrating, and though it may
put presidential ticket in the field it will
scarcely be regarded as factor In the coming
canvass.
The only state in which the organization Will
cut any figure Is In Maine, and 1t gets i'm
portance there only because the democrats have
united with 1t. The fusion between the two
parties In Maine has been very successfully
accomplished, and 1t makes the result in that
state at the fall election doubtful. Hitherto
the hard-money democrats have persistently
refused to join or even recognize the
fusion. They have, indeed, opposed 1t
by running straight democratic tickets
This year. however, they have laid aside
their scruples on the money question and
have united earnestly with the greenbackers.
Thus, the opposition to the republican party
has been made compact and Will present a
solid front In the coming political battle. The
hard money democrats have evidently been led
Into the coalition In the hope of capturing the
electoral vote OF the state They are willing ID
let the greenbackerS have all the nominations
Iof STATE Offices IN exchange Tor the support o
the latter for democratic electors Represen-
tative Laid, of Maine, claims that as Blaine is
not to be the republican candidate for President
the fusioniSts will carry the state by 10000
majority. While the republicans by no means
concede an opposition victory they are con
t6mplating hard fight in the state. Outside
OF Maine, however. the greenback presidential
ticket VIII hardly receive any more considera
ton than that OF the prOhibitiOnistS and 1t may
not receive as many votes.

Protractea and tedious as its session
seemed, the Chicago convention did not sit
as long as the democratic convention of
1860, held at Charleston. The latter body sat
ten days, most OF the time being consumed in
diminishing and sharp fights between the
Douglas and anttDouglas democrats. The
Charleston convention decided to enforce the
two-th1rds rule, and after taking fifty-seven
ballots 1t was agreed that the convention adj
ourn TO meet In Baltimore on the 18th of June
following. 1t reassembled In Baltimore ac.
cordingly and there the split In the party was
finally made. The regular convention was In
session six days, but took only two ballots
Alter the second ballot Douglas was declared
the nominee by reclamation. The seceders'
convention were In session but one day after
Withdrawing from the regular body, and 1t in
turn nominated Breckenridge by acclamation
The rest our readers know and will remember.

The hot struggle in Chicago, which at one
time babe fair to break up the convention in a
row, or at least to leave the republican party
in a hopelessly demoralized condition,
furnishes as good an illustration as any
one need want OF the folly and danger of the
instruction system and the favorite son busi-
ness In politics The effect Of instrueting dele.
gates to state or national convention Is In
yariably TO put the man above the cause, since
II takes away from the representative so hamp.
cred the quality Of a free agent with discretion
aud power to make the best possible selection In
view of all the circumstances which nave arisen
o. which may arise. national convention
constituted OF positively instructed delegates Is
practically liml,ed to the few men-and they
not always the best or Strongest-whoSe friends
may have been able to control few district or
state conventions, instead OF being at liberty to
select the best and strongest candidate within
their party lines after full Interchange OF opn-
Ion and a careful canvass OF the whole situation,
Manifestly the true way Is for each district or
state convention TO select discreet honest and
SagaciOus men for delegates, and leave the rest
to their Judgment and patriotism In the full
confidence that the whole body in convention
assembled Will make the best and strongest
nomination and adopt the wi5eSt and soundest
platform OF principles possible, all things con-
stdered. A national convention stands in pre-
cisely the same relation to its party that Con-
greSs does TO the whole country. 1t would
therefore be no more foolish or hurtful for the
several congressional districts to direct their
representative which laws TO pass and which
not to pass when assembled together, than for
a district or state convention to limit the action
of its delegates by iron-bound instructions to
vote for this or that man first, last and all the
time"

More About the Confidence Man with
Many AIiases.

MANY Aliases.
The fraud who calls himself George.
Legrand, or any other name that the
| occasion may require, is still In town.
and, we understand, has engaged limb
of the law to prosecute the SILVER STATE
for warning the people to beware of
him. The Reno Gazette has the follow
ing relative to his operations in the
Western part of the State:
at will be remembered that the Ca
zette recently published some particu-
lars of the arrest and subsequent release
of George Legrand, detained for one
day in the County Jail here on charge
Of embezzlernent. The Sacramento
State. Democrat of April 25th has the
following concerning him:
"'We admonish all persons against
creature calling himself Legrand, and
travelling through the country as re-
preventative of this paper. He is a
fraud and we know it. He rs thief
and we understand it. He has taken
subscriptions in the name of this paper,
and never returned the list nor the coin.
Now, as we have dispensed with him
and his services, along with those of T.
p. Ford and Silliman alias Palmer,
alias st. Clair and alias ad mGnitum, we
would warn the world that we have no
responsibilities for his rascalities. We
ask the people to be careful.
''This from the Carson Appeal of
yesterday shows that Legrand has been
victimizing the people of Carson: At
| late hour last night the police arrested
Legrand, who has been about town for
some days taking advertisement for a
railroad indicator. He was arrested on
complaint of G. C. Thaxter, the drug
gist on charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. Several other
parties paid him in advance and havn't
the scratch OF pen to show tor 1T. Is
will be scratch if they ever get their
money
"The complaint against Legrand was
withdrawn yesterday on condition that
he leave town. Legrand came to Reno
last night, and is said to have been
soliciting in town to-day. He was still
in Reno at noon. After what has been
Published in the Gazette concerning
him, one might suppose that his oppor-
tunities for swindling would here be
slight.

The Democratic Primaries.

The Democratic primaries for the
election OF five delegates to the State
Convention to be held at Winnemucca
on the 9th instant viii be held
throughout the county to-day. So far
rs we can ascertain there is no opposi-
tion to John G. Fall, in the delegate
district south and west of Humboldt
House nor to G. c. Biles and Robert
O'Neal in the district comprising Para
disc and other precincts in the northern
part of the county. Here there are two
tickets in the field in consequence of a
misunderstanding growing out of the
calling of caucus to nominate dele
gates by the Chairman of the County
Central Committee instead of by the
members OF the party generally. The
candidates on these opposition tickets
say they are not running in the inter-
est of any particular candidate for Pres
ident or State office, and the only ques-
ton involved is whether the voters
will sustain the action of the Chairman
of the Central Committee, or that of
the caucus called by members of the
party" The candidates selected by
the caucus called by the Committee, or
more properly speaking, the Chairman
of the Committee, are Thomas Shone
and James Hurst, and those nominated
by the caucus called by members of the
party generally are Thomas Shone and
s. b. Hughes. 8

A Wagon Designed to Run Nself. and
Carry Freight and Passengers.


A novel looking wagon, unloaded at
the depot, is attracting the attention Of
the curious. 1t seems to be as great a
curiosity to teamsters as the Tuscarora
"What is it" was to the female popnla-
ton of that burg two or three years ago.
1t is not set up in running order, as it
would not be safe to trust it in that con-
dition, it having been designed to run
forever if once started and permitted
to 60 without brakes. 1t was invented
by minister, who resided in Union
vile two or three years ago, and was
built under his supervision, by Thomas
Barmby. 1t has four wheels of equal
size, and perhaps five feet in diameter,
on which to run. Above the hind
wheels are seats for passengers and a
bed for freight. In front of this bed
and attached to the forward axle, are
cog and balance wheels, and above
them, on frame, large cog wheel,
one revolution of which turns small
cog wheel-fastened to the axle-a
dozen Or more times. We understand
that the inventor claimed that the
wagon, when once set in motion by
revolving the large cog wheel, it's speed
would be accelerated by its own mo-
ton, and that the only trouble would
be in preventing it from running too
fast. To prevent it from running away
with itself, across valleys and over
mountains, and never stopping until
worn out, brakes were arranged TO con-
troll it, and steering apparatus was
| fixed over the wheels within reach
Of the driver. Much was expected OF
the machine by the inventor, who, we
are informed, was positive that it would
outrun locomotive across the desert,
and revolutionize the carrying trade, as
| neither fuei nor power OF any klnd was
required to keep it agoing when once
started. Whether it was ever started
or rot we have not ascertained, but the
inventor has left for other parts, and
left the builder the machine for his
labor and the material used. 1t is said
that the wonderful machine has not
even been patented, and that any per-
son so disposed and possessed OF the
requisite means, may, without fear of
prosecution, adopt the model. 1t is
just the thing for Nevada if it will only
do what the inventor claimed for it,
and the brakes do not get out of order,
so that its speed can be controlled and
its course directed, This is the age OF
invention, and heely, of motor fame, is
not the ouly living genius.
