PRINCIPLES which the party has offered. It 1s our
belief that to submit to such Leadership Is TO
work disaster as well as to deserve it.. NOT can
the plea OF necessity be urged to induce us to
serve under those leaders, for there are many many,
Republicans whose record is free from every
taint of personal or political corruption, whose
fidelity to the principles above dtclnred are are
proved, and whose fitness for the highest ofhco
cannot be questioned. .-. .-+
We, therefore, strenuously oppose the notnl-
nation Of Ulysses S. Grant or of JameS q. Blnlne,
since many considerations will lead large Rort
lions Of the Republican party to vote against
either. We will gladly support any man who,
like President Hayes has shown n words and
,cts TINT he is In sympathy with the principles
declared by us, and whose personal character Is
pure and above suspicion.
Several speakers made an effort to have the
obnoxious resolution relative to Grant aud
Blaine stricken out. and Senator Crocker maae 2,
motion to that effect, but it wns lost,-23 to X
a motion indorsing Edmunds w.s lost, and an
a1lusion to Baynrd, Of Delaware. as a candidate,
caused considerable excitement.
After an earnest discussion tho resolutions as
reported were adopted.

pointed, and the Convention adjourned. d.

THE CHINESE,


Special Dispatch to The Chicago 1ffbuns.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8.-Inquiry at the
Chinese Legation tonight in reference to the
published announcement that delegation rep
resenting the Six Companies is now on its way
to Washington to have IN interview with the
President in reference to the treatment Of the
Chinese in San Francisco, elected the reply that
no such delegation was expected: that nothing
was known about it, and the Legation would
have little to do with it officially, even II the
delegation did come, as the Six Companies form
an independent concern. When asked II the
Chinese Consul at San Francisco had not applied
for Federal protection for the Chinese there, a
rather eyasiye answer was returned, but the
Yung Wing had called the dttent1on Of the State
Department to the subject
SENATOR FARLEY
to-day said that he would oppose an appropria-
ton to defray the expenses of the Commission
which the President proposes to send TO China to
negotiate new treaty, unless the members of
the Commission were satisfactory to him. Far
ley stated further he would certainly antagonizc
IN harmony with the general sentiment Of his
constituents on the Chinese question, and who
would not frame such a treaty as they wanted.
As the sole object of the President in sending a
commission to China is to negotiate n treaty that
will correct the evils growing out Of the Burlin-
gu.ne treaty. Farleys opposition seems so I'M
reasonable that he cannot escape from the
criticism that his course Is not free from partisan
considerations

Special Dtspateh to The Chicago Tribune
NEW YoRK, March 8.-Snce the result Of the
Presidential election In 1876, there has never
been anything to indicate, SO far as Grameroy
Park was concerned, that Tilden would not again
be a candidate In 1880. There bus been much, on
the other hand to Indicate that he would be,
anl there Is no doubt whatever that he is to-day
and will continue TO be an aspiranr for the
White House, and that he will use all the in.
hucnce and power ut his command to
accomplish his nomination. What he is
able to do in that line. his rivals In
the Democratic know only too well. They have
already seen their booms in opposition to him
fall fat, and recognize the fact that the word
withdraw is not in his vocabulary.
J. SAM THDEN HAS Els CLAIMS
Of the great fraud and the great barrel, and he

by his enemies in the Convention that

the State Of Ne1k York, and thus be surely de-

The answer will be that Kelly cannot hold his

Church and Kelly, and small band Of canal

argument there can be no question

To tbs Editor oj 1ns Chicago Irtouns-
CHICAGO, March 7.-The great cost OF em-
broidered ,petticoats and silk stockings during
Grants term Of the Presidency has never been
quite understood by the subscriber till reading
ut my breakfast table on Tuesday morning q
letter In the columns Of your paper.
l have been waveriug on tho subject Of petit
coats and third-teru,ism, have read Washing
toms Farewell Address, .sPigrim's Progress"
'The Arabian Knights" and selections from the
immortal Tupper in order to settle my disturbed
brain on these vexed questions, and have only
found relief in the perusal Of the letter above
mentioned. My gratitude has been exercised to
its utmost towards It's author, Jane G. Swisshelm
Il mean no disrespect by leaving the Grey part
OF her name represented By the initial G.. only.
It WAS profound, and found expression in loud
the cause Of this outlandish and costly display,
even when noticed by men Of taste, at the silk
stockings, embroidered petticoats, and otherun-
fully agree with Jane that no '' close 0bso,uer"
can overlook the fact that Il large share of the
defalcations and forgeries Of thnt time grew out
Of these petticOatS and stockings.
1t is subject which men should mention with
becoming modesty, but plain words and heroic
treatment are e, the M most potent nostrnms % to L.
termism, silk stockings, and SWisshelmism.
Therefore run no risk in affirming that every
wife during Grants Administration must hnve
observed upon and about his own wife, and
many of us about other mems wives, displays Of
these gaudy things. the only tendency Of which
was to bewilder, torment, and vex.
Hardly doubt Gun exist in the mind Of any
reasonable man that Grant is directly or remote
II chargeable with the responsibility Of every
baby born with sfx toes and no teeth, with the
destruction Of Chicago in 1871, with every case of
measles, and the yellow-fever in Memphis. It,
however, remains for the productive and preg-
nant brain Of this writer on muslin economy to
charge our ex-Prestdent with all the embrotd-
ered pctticoats produced during his reign Of
terror.
Such brafnless twaddle has been equaied by
nothing yet published on the subject OF the ap-
palttug calamity which seems to threaten our
Republic with rliu--third- -termism.
The unparalleled impudeuce and audactty of
signing and circulating a protest against the
support Of Gen. Grant by bis friends for the
Presidency not mnny days since gives express
sion of the malignty, and such letters MS the one
above mentioned of the imbecility, In the face
OF the advocates Of :. anything to beat Grant,
and shows upon weat they are building their
hopes Republican who expects to nominate
and elect Gen. Grlut by wantonly and scnseicsly
attacking the character Of Mr. Blaine, Sherman,
Washburne. or Edmunds is unworthy q position
IN any party; and, per contra, any friend OF
either of the eminent men mentioned who seeks
to champion his candidate by attempting the
destruction Of the others must be confessed

THE CANAL PROJECT.

Special Dtspateh to The Chicago 1rabuaa.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March e.-The reports
that there are differences between the President
sud Secretary Evarts onl the interoceanic canal
or Monroe doctrine matter are unfounded. Its
now said that although there may have been
some differences, both the President and Secro-
tary Of State ure In full accord on all the Qnes-
tions involved It Is certain that Mr.. EyaTts is
cooperating With the President in the arrange
ment OF the documents soon to be sent to Con-
gress with comments Mr.. EVarts has had charge
of tho diplomatic and legal part OF the matter,
and has devoted special attention to the treaty
relations between the United States, European
Powers, snd the States Of Central America 1t
appears dehnitly that the United States is bound
by treaty with Colombia to protect the terri
1orial rights Of the latter Government If canal
is built and this guarantee seems to be Of such
a nature that under this treaty the United
States cannot permit amy foreign government
to interfere. Indeed, while De Lcsseps IS very
fago1ably received here socially, he Is.
NOT LIKELY TO MAKE ANT PROGRESS
with his canal scheme. The best thing he could
do, one Of those near the Administration said
to-day, II he wishes to dig a canal, would be to
take out naturalization papers as an American
citizen. There Is no possible doubt that, SO far
as the United States is concerned, the attitude
of the Administration will be that no canal
project will be worth considering which does
not insure to this Government absolute
military and naval control over it, and
that. ..uatil we are ready to insist upon
complete reconstruction Of our diplomatic
position in regnrd to the Isthnus las
affected by the Clayton Bulwer treaty., 1t Is
