SINCE the State Convention is to
meet so early, it is all the more i'm.
portant that the delegates whom it
will send to Chicago in June shall go
there unpledged. 1t would be nom
ssnse for the Convention to undertake
to say in February what will be the
proper course to pursue four months
later in reference to such an important
matter as the nomination of a Presi.
Dental candidate. Common sense
demands that the delegates shall be
left free to use their own discretion as
the changing current of circumstances
may demand. To tie their hands in

special TO the REPUBLICAN,.
WASHINGTON, d. G., Jan. 10, 80
The Democrats are a good deal
modified by late events. The great
crime in Maine begins to loom up az
one of their biggist blunders, and
added to other blnnders the load
weighs upon them. They might thrive
OIL successful fraud, but the anticipa.
ton Of failure in all their plots is too
much. That accounts for their appar-
ent moderation just now. They have
decided in caucus to pass all the ap.
preparation bill as the President signed
them last year, thus making no fight
except on the bill to pay United States
Marshals, and it is said even upon
that they may compromise away their
last ditch. The poor fellows are in
bad way; and even their Greenback
friends threaten to abandon them.
That General John B. Hawley is
candidate for Governor of Illionois,
will probably be nominated, and there
fore will be lost to the Government
service as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury in few months, seems to
have become the settled belief Of
almost everybody.
The PostofFice Department is expos.
ing many wicked swindlers throughout
the country, and refusing to give them
facilities of mailing service. 1t will
do good in driving out of business all
concerns that advertise to sell una.
bridged dictionaries for 80 cents and
similar cheats.
The financial question will be rap.
idly disposed of now. The Senate
Finance Committee yestel day refused
to report Bayards resolution to destroy
the legal tender quality of the green
backs, the vote in favor of it being
Senators Bayard, Morrill,, Herman and
Wallace, and against it Senators ALI
son, Beck, Ferry, and Voorhees,. This
probably is the death blow to financial
agitation in that body for this session,
although the question will be briefly
debated in the Senate hereafter. In
the House there will soon be discuss
ion on the same question, and then all
action to change the prevailing policy
will probably be postponed.

The Supreme Court of Maine, to
which the disputed election cases we're
left, has rendered decision which is
on every point favorable to the Re-
publicans. Acting upon the decision
Of the court the legislature met and
elected Daniel F. Davis, Republican,
Governor. Other state officers were
elected. Thus the muddle is virtually
at an end, and, as everybody who has
followed the affair through from be.
ginning to end we'll knows, justice has
prevailed. The throwing out of six
or eight districts altogether, and the
counting in of some 80 or 40 who we're
not elected, was carrying matters a
little to far, and was altogether too
high.handed for decent and law-abiding
citizens to tolerate. The Fusionists,
Of course, are by no means satisfied,
but having left it to the decision of
the courts they must submit, yet they
do so very ungracefully.

LABOR TROUBLES.

Sr. LorIs, March 20. Freight handlers
of the Missouri Pacific railroad, also those Of
the Union Railroad 4 Transit Co., have de-
manded an increase of wages, the former
from 81 20 to 81 so day and the latter from
$1.25 to Sl.50. Their demands were refused
and the men quit work. Their places have
been mostly filed and the freight house man.
ayers anticipate no difficulty in getting full
force of men to run at once. The most per-
picking feature in the strike is the fact that
the coal supply will not last ~ hours. There
was no coal received last night, and while
there has been no sudden rise in the market
the supply it exhausted. Coal dealers say
that with the free use Of railroads they could
furnish 100000 tons before Sunday night.
Business is already suffering.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, March 20. No immedi-
ate trouble is apprchcnded with the strikers
at East st. Louis or elsewhere, but it is sp-
parent that labor agitators are active all over
the State. Owners of factories and railroad
managers are considerably alarmed over the
threatened strike, coming at the present time
just as business was reviving and labor prom
ised to be profitable to employers and en-
ployed.
CLINTON, Mass, March 20. No change in
the condition of the strike at Lancaster mills.
Good order is preserved, so special police be-
ing appointed. Considerable help is expected
to arrive next week and it is thought many
operatives will return at the old prices.
New York. March 20. The piano manu-
featuring firms Of Gablcr & Co., Steck, Soh-
mer 4 Co. and Behering & Co. announce that
they will open their factories Monday, but
will only take the men back conditionally.
Fischer 4 Co. say they will only open their
factory to non-union men The men en-
ployed by J. =. Hale declare that if they are
not taken back by Monday they will only re-
system be abolished. Subscriptions are
pouring in daily in aid of the strikers.

Springfield in favor Of Blaine and 6 in favor

NEW York, March 81. Erastus Brooks
says in q card that the rumor that the desired
to turn the New York Express Into . Tilden
paper, is untrue. Both himself and nephew
are opposed to the candidacy Of Tilden in

glar, with 81 900 worth of silver ware stolen
