The town authorities of Hartford are at loggerheads It has been customary for the first selectrnan to draw orders alone. but there. is a dispute as to who is the first selectman. One of the members has been enjoined against acting as such, and he has retaliated on his ad- versary by getting vote passed by his as"sci- ates requiring the signatures of majority of the whole board to make the orders legal. Probably in the great amount of business done iu so large town, signature by one might be a convenience, but in most towns the sigma ture of g majority is very properly required, The Winsted News in out for Eaton for the has war record that we do not admire, diff fering in that respect doubtless from the edit or of the News. Eaton, however, is no vote- jobber, but a genuine article ot the old fash toned States-right Democrat. We shall never cease to be grateful to him for beating Bar. mum out of the Senatorship in 1874, after the latter had brought in a Democratic legisla- ture, by that liberal use of money ''for regular campaign expenditures" for which Mir. Bar mum has always been famous.

Now that Illinois is solid for Grant, there is peal of txumpets from the Grant organs, an- noancing his suss success at Chicago. The New York Times claims thst be will have 364 votes with Louisiana. Colorado and Ne. vada to hear from. Louisiana is equally divided, giving Grant eight there. If Cobra do and Neysda go solid for him, it will give him but SSe. or but one over the number re- quired for nomination. That is too close figuring. Looking over the Times estimate, we notlee much oycr-estimatiou in Grants favor. Grant must get his nomination early or not at all. and we cannot yet see whence he is to get the requisite 379.

The result of the Illinois Republican Con- vention turned finally upon the admission of the contesting Chicago delegations. Had the regular delegation been admitted, it would have been doubtful whether the Grant men could have held a amajority. By raising con- test about the Chicago delegations, and, hav- ing strong majority in the rest of the CON- vention, they made themselves masters of the situation. The majority of the convention committee on, credentials favored the admis- sion of the regular delegation from Chicago, which was solid against Grant, The minority report giving the Grant men more than one third of tho Chicago delegation in the conven- tion was. however, accepted, and then . solid Grant delegation was chosen to the National Convention. The matter was engineered by Gen Logan. It is worthy of notice that the result was reached by recognizing the rights of minorities in favor of Grant in the admis- sion of delegates to Chicago, and then refusing the minorities any representation against Grant, in the delegation to the National con- vention. Such brszen inconsistency is characteristic of the machine politics of the times, and Logan is much commended in the political press as the man kind of ''strong man" we are to admire
