CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The Chicago Convention has now
been in session a full week. Up to
the time we write this TUESDAY noon),
no nomination has been made. We
will not go to press until Wednesday
morning, and will give the result up
to that date. The Convention got all
the preliminaries settled last week,
and commenced balloting ON Monday
morning, and had twenty-eight bal
lots Monday and Monday night.
The following was the first ballot:
Grant. ....... ..... 49,. oOf
Blame. ....'.''.'' Aof
oo
Washburne e................ ~
Edmunds ............ "a
Window ..... Io
Necessary to choice, 378.
It will be seen that Grant, with the
highest vote, lacked IA Of having
enough to nominate. All the other
ballotings were substantially the
same.
The Convention may last all the
week, or the final result may be
reached before we go to press.
Ohio casts 81 for Sherman, 9 for
Rlaine, and 1 for Edmunds.

Blaine. and 8 for Washburne.

viii be satisfied if the state is saved to
the democratic party. He believes
that if the power of John Kelly and
his faction, as lie terms it, is not des-
troyed this spring. the state Is lost to
the democracy in November, and
hopelessly lost thereafter if the full or
partial control of It's organization is left
in the hands of Mr.. Kelly. This is
the precise situation which Gov Tilden
regards as much higher than a mere
personal candidacy In his opinion, if
the legitimate organization and control
of the party are not retained and en-
forced in every election precinct in the
state of New York, it is quite inmate
rial whether he or any other democrat
is nominated at Cincinnati, for this
state could not be carried. To surren-
der or TO compromise with Mr.. Kelly,
Gov Tilden holds, would be fatal now
to the party in the state as a surrender
would have been to the regular state
convention TO Mr.. Kelly's secession
convuntioR last fall at Syracuse. When
Mr.. Kelly and his following return to
the regular organization, the question
of presidential candidates and the fur
ther control of tae party machinery in
New York may be an open one, but
not until then. 1 give you the facts

BEN HILL on POLITICS.

SIN the general outlook of poll.
tics there is something to encour,
age and much to discourage.
There are but two. questions in
our politics which are worth con
sideration. The first is, whether
we shall be able to retain consti-
tuional government. The sec
ond is. whether we shall be able
ever again to have honest admin
istration. These two questions
make the real issue between the
Republican and Democratic par
ties.
The obstacles in the way of ouI
success are many, but the two
chief obstacles are these: The
Republican party is full of knav
cry, but equally full Of courage
in maintaining that knavery.
The Democratic party is full Of
right purposes, but is utterly des
titute of courage in maintaining tn,
right or in asSailing the wrong.
Then, too, the Democratic party
unfortunately has large numbe.
of very small men in high posi-
tons, who are keeping the part,
distracted with small questions
| am where l see daily exhibition
of men who have no conception
| whatever of the real dangers t,
the country, and who seem to hav,
no capacity but to make larg,
pretentiOns, to magnify small is
sues, and to keep themselves puff
ed in the newspapers as prodigie
of great craftsmanship!
Small jealousies, little spite
and disgraceful jobs are destroy
ing the energies Of the Democrat
ic party at a time when ever,
nope Of free institutions and hor
est government depend upon tn
success Of that party. "

Tenn essee Congressman OH the Pres.
idency.

The general opinion among Tennes-
see Democrats in Congress is that while
Tilden might carry the State, his NOM
nation would so weaken the party as
to imperil several seats in the next
Congress. "Tilden is not favorite in
Tennessee, says Senator Harris. "He
is not my preference for the nomina-
ton" says Senator Bailey.
81 do not think NJ. Tilden would be
supported as enthusiastically as he was
in 1876" says Mr.. Taylor of the First
District. II should say the nominal
ton of Tilden would be prejudicial to
the interests of the Democracy in Ten
nessee and to its representation in Con
gress.
Representative House, one of the
Democratic leaders in Congress, says
he don't think Tilden could carry a
solid South against Grant. "Mr. Til
den" declares Mr.. House, the author
of the famous speech in Congress de-
nouncing the electoral frauds, sis the
weakest man that we could nominate
of those. prominently mentioned.
4'4Es w HlJtiiOIu0, CLelItldu OI the
Naval Committee, and the late Prcsi-
kent Folks Private Secretary, is per
sonally favorable to Mr.. Tilden, but he
believes his nomination would weaken
our strength in the Forty-Seventh Con
gress." He says he would himself
support Mr.. TiIden very cheerfully,
''but," adds Mr.. Whitthorne, ''as every
vote in the Democratic party is neces-
sary for success, with all the light be-
fore me, Mr.. Tillen could non concen-
trate that vote upon himself, and
hence, however much l may like him
personally, l cannot regard him as the
most suitable candidate for our party
in the coming Presidential campaign"
Representative Simonton says that
he doubts whether Mr.. Tilden could
command as large vote as he did in
1876. HE has lost prestige at home
and elsewhere. His star is waning,
and it becomes a question for the Nor
thern and the Southern Democracy to
say whether it would be wise to renom-
mate him.

TO THB VOTERS OF HARDEMAN
COUNTY.

BOLIVAR, Tenn. April Doth, 1880.
I call your attention to the resolu-
tions passed by the convention of citi-
zens of the State of Tennessee, which
met at Nashville on the 23rd day of
October 1879, in regard to the State
debt, and by the kindness of the editor
of our County paper allowing me the
opportunity to republish them again
in his paper, 1 here set them out in
full SO that you may see for yourselves
the duty required of you at the coming
elections this Fall for state officers:
/ Fair play and equal opportunities
are the inalienable rights Of humanity
everywhere, and mOnopolies and class
legislation are in violation of common
rights and the spirit Of a true Democ-
racY.
2 A true Democracy will think and
act for itself, free from dictation by any
peson or persons whatever.
3. It is the essence of Democracy
that the people shall rule, and. whether
acting directly or by representatives,
the popular will must prevail or
freedom is destroyed.
i. 1t is the constitutional and inal-
ienable right of the people to instruct
| their representatives, who are bound
to obey the will of their constituents.
5. The majority must rule. II
may sometimes err, but its errors are
honest; while the errors of combine
tions, organized for place and -pOwer,
are meant to be perpetual and intended
to benefit the few by expressing the
man.
s. We reafirm the declaration OF
the Democratic platform of 1878,
which declares that we are opposed to
the reputation Of the just indebted
ness of the State.
Z. One of the most essential pow
ers of Government is that of taxation,
as it effects directly or indirectly the
whole of the products of labor, and
through that our living and very exis-
tence. hence, the right to tax is delega-
ted by the people to their representa-
tives in our State Legislature for the
period of time for which they are res
pectively elect, and upon the expira-
ton of their terms reverts TO people
unimpaired; hence, any debt created
by any legislative body that requires
for its payment the levy of taxes after
the expiration of the time for which
! they were elected, is a misapprehen-
sion of power and inconsistent with the
principles of republican government,
and consequently voidable at the opin-
ion Of the people.
s. We oppose the policy of making
coupons receivable for taxes.
3. We are opposed to the passage
of funding bills hereafter.
10. The policy which is to elect and
use Legislature to procure such a
settlement of the State debt question
as the people would not rstify or ap-
prove at the ballot box Is not demo
cratic.

THE CENTENNIAL.

LAST Saturday was a memorable
day in the history of Nashville.
1t was the occasion Of its Centen-
NAL Anniversary. One hundred
guns ushered in the celebration
amid the swell of music, the float
Ing of one hundred thousand
flags and several miles of bunting
and evergreen wreathes. Hon.
Jno. NJ. Bright was the orator of
the day and made an eloquant ad-
dress on DOnelsOn and the
Pioneers. He closed as follows:
Monette says: Tennessee, notin-
aptly, has been called the Mother OF
State" From the bosom of this State
have issued more colonies for the peO-
pling of the great Valley of the Miss
issippi, than from any one State in the
American Union"
Tennessee was also the nursery OF
great chieftain and soldiers, who never
heard their country's tocsin sound but
they rallied in an instant to her stand
ard. Following their renowned leader,
the immortal jackson, they marched
from victory to conquest over the pros
trate Creeks. Onward Pushing, they
went to meet their ancient foe on the
plains of New Orleans, where, with
the hunters of Kentuck, y they silenced
the roar of the British lion, and "tri-
umphed over the invincibles of Wei
lington, and conquered the conquerors
of Europe"
They plunged into the malarial
swamps of Florida and scourged the
savages in their impenetrable Businesses.
Pressing on, with the great Houston at
their head, they met and beat Santa
Anna, styled the Napoleon of the West
and the clone Star" rose from San
Jacinto's field of blood and moved tc
take its place i'll the Federal constel.
lation. And still onward pressing,
with other brave comrades, they bore
their country's banner to the metropo
lis of Mexico, and saw its triumphant
folds wave above the halls of the Mon
tezumas.
The free-will offering of her sons to
their country's cause has won for Ten
ncssec the proud distinction Of the
Volunteer State"
But it has not been my purpose 70
enter the inviting fields of her civil tri-
umphs ncr to speak Of the wonders Of
