THE COLLAPSE or MR. P5RNELL.

The true friends of Ireland could do no
greater service to that unfortunate country
than to combine their efforts and get 3lr
Charles S. Parnel out of the United States.
His visit to America has been something
worse than failure. 1t has been terrible
ageravation of the Irish famine. But for tins
quarrelsomc and abusive gentleman the pro-
verbal generosity of the American people
would long ago have subscribed a princely
sum for the relief of the suffering. lie has
acted, ever since he landed in NcwYork,
only as check upon our liberallty.
His violent language. his obvious pur
pose ol making charity tributary to po
htica agitation of which we cannot approve,
satisfied most of us that he was not proper
person to supervise the distribution Of our
offerings and it seems to have been his fixed
purpose that if we were unwilling to give TO
his committee we should be dissuaded from
giving to any other. He travels about the
country aspersing the motives of the ladies
and gentlemen who have organized relief as
sociations in Ireland, although they include
the heads of all the religious denominations
and a great number of distinguished persons
in various walks of life, and he begs Us on

difficult to believe that an lrishman could
trihe with the lives of his famine-stricken
countrymen; that he could ask the charitable
to stay their hand if the distress were really
so great as it has been represented; aud thus
wherever Mr.. Parnell speaks suspicion is
aroused, and benevolence is chilled.
The press all over the United States has
condemned his conduct with unsparing sever
ity; and since his indecent allusion to
the Duchess of Marlborough last week a
chorus of disgust has gone up from
journals of every shade of opinion. His extra
ordinary violation of decorum in Springfield,
which has been not inaptly compared to the
outbreaks of Denis Kearney, seems to mark
the end of Mr.. Parnel's American mission.

cities. and may write few more letters, but
the sensation is over. The members of Con-

THE PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLIcANS.

THE PENNSYLVANIA REP UBLICANS.
AT first sight, it might seem that both Wings
of the Republican party in PENNSYLVANIA had
reason TO be satisfied with the results of yes
terday's Convention. The followers OF Sena-
tor Cameron enabled him to assert and MANI
tain to the end his control of the party organ
izatlon. He insisted that the delegation to
Chicago should be made up by the Convention
acting through committee. ard not by the
district delegations He insisted that the del
cgatiOn should be instructed to vote for Cen
eral Grant, and 70 vote rs Il unit All of these
things were done The minority, on the other
hand, were able to secure a Yea and Nay
vote and to show that the candidacy OF Cen
eral Giant was favored by barely majority
of the Convention. 1t was in the chief city OF
Pennsylvania that General Grapt received a
few weeks ago probably the greatest popular
demonstration ever made in his honor, in this
or any other country. 1t was Pennsylvania
which, both by the unanimity Of its Conven-
tien and OF its delegation at Chicago, was TO
make the Grant movement irresistible Ard
vet on a Yea and Nay vote, 113 delegates,
ont of 246 voting, have deliberately pro-
uOunced against General Grant-nOt against
a Third Term, but against Grant. \ change
of barely ten votes would have tied the Con-
ventiOnl
This result must be a severe disappolnt-
ment to the friends Of General Grant. and n
hard blow TO the movement for his nOmina-
tion. This narrow majority of 20 was OBJ
tained only by strenuous eXertiOns and the use
of powerful influence. No one eau doubt that
if the Convention had been left to its own
spontaneous choice the Pennsylvania delega-
tion would stand ut this moment TOR James 6.
Blaine Bnt this is not all. The majority for
Grant, small as it Is, is uDquestionably due III
part to the firm refusal Of Mr.. Blaine's
immediate representatives TO authorize any
bitter assault upon Senator Cameron In view
Of all these things, il may well be doubted
whether in voting as they have been in
structed TO vote, the Pennsylvania dele
CATION Will fairly represent Pennsylva-
MA sentiment. But, however this may
be, one thing is clear - the claim
that there is an overwhelming de-
mand among the Republican masses for the
nomination of General Grant. the claim that
they believe him to be the only man who can
carry the country, has been exploded.
One more thing is clear. THIS years con-
tests are 10 be amicaby conducted to IN ami
cable result. The nominee of the Chicago
Convention is not going to be destroyed by
the enmltics aroused in his canvass.

The Kansas Freedmens Relief Association makes
an urgent appeal through its secretary for assist
ance in its work of caring for the destitute Degroes
who have fled from the Sonth to Kansas They
are IN need of food shelter. fuel. clothing and medi-
cine. and their poverty amounts to actual and even
extreme suffering The State of Kansas has shown
the highest generosity in providing for these refu-
gees but she ought not to be expected or allowed
10 do the work alone. II Is 10 be hoped that the
bread thus cast upon tho waters will come back be-
fore many days in the labor of these new
settlers; but the present burden is heavy one.
Doubtless il was not the wisest thing or these poor
blacks TO leave their homes in the South after the
rigors of Northern Winter had set in but there
they are and they cannot be- left to starye and
freeze. The present duty is pain-they must be fed
and clothed and sheltered. Money and supplies of
all kinds may be sent to Elizabeth L. Comstock
Topeka, Kansas. Governor John p. st. John has
also volunteered TO distribute contributions Of
money forwarded TO him at Topeka.

DANGER.

The democratic state convention
has met, did its work and adjourned.
It's action is before the country. A
majority, a large majority of the
delegates nominated Gen. John V.
Wright as a candidate for governor.
We will not stop here to inquire
whether or not that majority was
procured by fair means, or whether
it fairly represented democratic pub
lie sentiment.
A minority nominated Hon. S T.
Wilson. He has accepted and en-
tered upon the canvass. How much
strength he will develop remains to
be seen. The miserable, dishonest
platform upon which he stands will
be found elsewhere. He may be
elected. We do not think be will
be. But this is not our greatest
danger. The great danger which
now threatens us is the election of
legislature composed of ma
jority of repudiationists. The state
credit democrats were strong
enough in the state convention to
defy the repudiationists, and they
did it. But will they be strong
enough in the several counties Of
the state to insure state credit leg.
islAture? And will they have the
disposition to do it? I'VE published
enough of the proceedings of thu
convention in our issue of yester'
day to show that large minority o
the delegates were willing to accep
a compromise in some one of tn
forms proposed. 1t is reasonabl,
to suppose that these delegates
will be willing, to accep
the same sort of o compromise il
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1880-08-15

the legislative canvass. Are they
the only ones who will accept such
a compromise in the interest of har+
mony in the party? We trust SO,
but even if no others do, and even
if all the delegates who opposed the
substitution of the various majority
reports for that of the majority
should pursue the policy indicated,
in the legislative canvass, there is
great danger that the legislature
to be elected this fall will be a
low tax lmajority. If that should
be true, a state credit governor could
do nothing more than veto the acts
of the legislature. He could pre-
vent foolish legislation but he could
not enforce wise legislation.
1t will take the united efforts Of
all the state credit men IN the state
to prevent the election of a repudia-
ton legislature. If the state credit
democrats mean business, they wlll
enter into no compromise or comb
nation that will result in the election
ola repudiationist to the legislature
When they do this, they will forfeit
the confidence ofall real state credi
men, and they will manifest thei
indignation and want Of confidence
by supporting candidates who ma.
be relied upon at all hazards to sus
tain the credit of the state.
