WASHINGTON, May 4, 1880.
The only topic discussed among the
republicans of the House to-day was
the report from Philadelphia that the
delegates to the Chicago Convention
from that city were eesolved not to be
counted for the nomination OF the ex-
President. The only member of the
Pennsylvania delegation who positively
refused to credit the report was Mr..
Russell Errett, of Pittsburg, the Chair
man of the Harrisburg Convention, and
whose friendship for Senate Cameron is
well known. He was in Philadelphia
yesterday and says be was among the
so-called malcontents. He had heard
the subject discussed and knew there
was nothing in it.
MUST DROP THE THIRD TERM.
He has been notified within q few
days by one of the most prominent del
egates of the State delegation that iin-
less he (Cameron) is willing to suffer
disastrous defeat at Chicago he must
drop the third term movement. and that
he cannot save himself with his State
delegation in any other way. This
gentleman, who came over to insist that
he shall drop the ex-President, declared
that ifhe did not the Blaine delegates
in the State would, when they met at
Chicago, be in majority, and would
insist upon the enforcement of the unit
rule, adopted at Harrisburg, and then,
as mjority, cast the vote of the State
| for Blaine.
DEMOCRATIC CoPPsRTUNITIEs--TH PRES
q IN II n
The democrats have now two full blown
| opportunities to ruin themselves, and
they will hardly be able to resist two
such fas cinating temptations to folly.
The Presidents veto of the Little Def
cheney bill, sent in to-day, is q very
shrewd and sound document. He objects
TO riders on appropriation bills, and with
his usual frank ness, he does not deny
that his own parry Las been guilty of
adopting such riders when 1t had power.
| The fact is that the republicans have
| beep the great Offenders in this matter;
but Mr.. Hayes says he thinks the prac-
| tise wrong and he will not tolerate ft.
Some d, mocrats now weakly profess that
they have got the President to commit
bimself to the iniquities OF the MarshaIs'
| law, and there is a fair chance that they
| Will make another mess OF their business
| Their trne courbe, both for themselves.
and the country, is, of course, 20 accept
| the veto, send the bill in without the RI
der ani pass in IA separate bill the needed
amendments of the Election laws. Ii
| they 40 not do tins the republicans can
justly say that the democrats do not
really want TO reform adj abuse, but to
set up sham grievance.
As to the Kellogg case there seems to
he a disposition 10 let 1t drag on as q
concession to Mr.. Hill. who is proudly
CONSCIOUS that he Is able to coerce wiser
but more timid men than himself. At
will be beaten in the end, for he capno
carry more than half of his side witt
him In favor of the revolutionary pro
ject of unseatipg Kellogg; but in th
meantime the republicans will probaol.
take the whole mavter out of the demo
cratic hands If the Hill folly goes ol
much longer, and bring in motion b
reject the resolution uDseating Kellogg
which ought to come from the respeC
table democrats. The democratic part
in both houses has conducted itself YER
well this sessi on, but 1T seems tnclinel
TO break loose now at the close, and
looks deal as though the tail woul
oe. 10 To wag the dog once more, as
did at the extra session.
