THE "shrieking sisters as the Chicago
Times rudely calls the woman suffragists
who are now holding convention at Chi
cago, howled with disappointment when
they were informed that they were allowed
only ten instead Of seventy-two seats in
the Republican national convention. The
seventy-two expected TO talk the conven-
ton into plank in the platform .avoring
woman suffrage, but they think ten will
hardly be sufficient 10 accomplish their
purpose. However, ten will be enough to
set the convection by the ears, if they are
permitted to talk as much as they wish.

The Chicago Times, whose facts are usu-

have reason to grieve if that journal ap-

THE New York World recalls, IN connec-
ton with the Whitaker case, the very re-
markable story Of Major Goodridge, OF
Massachusetts, who robbed himself and
shot himself through the hand on the road
between Exeter and Newburyport, in the
year 1916. 1t was never explained why
Goodridge inflicted so serious an injury up
on himself. He, however, vigorously press
ed serious charges against several innocent
persons, and had it not been for the Won
derful skill of Daniel Webster, who defend
ed the accused parties, in detecting fraud
and perjury, they would, in all probability,
have Jared badly. Whitaker, however,
was busgler compared to Goodridge
Had he possessed the courage, GOODNESS and
brains of Goodridge he would have infic-
ted blow upon West Point academy from
which it would not have readily recovered.

LONDON, England May 23rd, 1880
Although the queen herself was absent
from the ceremony, queens weather shone
upon the re-openipg of parliament yester-
day, A crowd of idlers assembled early
prepared to cheer such celebrities as might
be known to them by sight Like most
crowds their knowledge was not exact and
their favor was occasionally shown in
doubtful if not wrong directions. Some
times they mistook nonenties for celebri-
ties, and suffered famous men to 90 by IN
noticed Messrs. Chamberlain, Chaplin,
and Stansfeld walked 10 the house pnrec-
ognized. Sir Stafford Northcote, Lord
John Manners, Sir Richard Cross, Lord
Norton, Mr.. Mark Stewart, Sir William
Hart Dyke, and Mr.. Dodson, were not
greeted by the popular voice. On the
other hand, Lord Harrington was vigorous
ly cheered. Mr.. Bright received the need
of popular favor. as Also it is scarcely
necessary to add, did Mr.. Gladstone. The
crowd had waited patiently from high noon
till four o'clock to see the premier pass At
length the rumor, blown no one exactly
knew whence, arrived that Mr.. Gladstone
would walk from Downing street to the
house ct a quarter past tour o'clock. Soon
the news spread, no one knew how, and the
crowd visibly increased until dense mass
Of people covered the footway in front Of
Westminster hall and the outer sides Of the
enclosure Exactly at twenty-six minutes
past four o'clock a noise of cheering was
heard in the distance and outside the gates,
where Inspector Downing stood on duty,
and the crowd, with an impulse OF curlosi-
ty, surged in that direction. Hats were
waved in the air and voices raised in con-
graduation as Mr.. Gladstone, leaning upon
the arm of his son, Mr.. Herbert Gladstone,
made his way across the yard in
the midst Of the iubilant popuace
The premier came hurriedly along,
looking pale but pleased, raising his hat to

IL will be seen from The foregoing table that
tho combined vote of the Democratic and
Greenback parties in tho last two elections
has been greater tan the Republican vote,
in 1879, greater by 692 votes. This consider
cd in conjunction with the fact that the Flu
sionis,s have carried the state by from 5000
to 5000 majority would seem TO show that
the Republican party is going to pieces in
Maine. 1t has been We believe with Senator
Blaine favorile expression that as Maine
went SO went the Union and it is very likely
to prove true this year. The
Fusion victory in Maine has made AIr. Gar.
fields chances in every doubtful state ex-
ceedingly desperate. Looking at the vote in
1876, when Mr.. Hayes carried the state by
| l6,477, we could have claimed victory il
the mNj >rity on Monday was kept under 10,
900. The Republicans would not more thar
fairly hold their own if they had carried the
state by $4,000, and if they had ever
secured a majority Of 5000
it would have been. an earnest that General
Hancock will be the next occupant of the
White House, but being defeated by the OPP
position what can the Republicans hope for
nowY 1t is safe toassume that the defeat OF
the Republican ticket in Maine is worth
many thousand votes to the Democracy in
Indiana, and it will whoop up things in Ohio.
The Democracy need not expect a victory
in Ohio next month, that is TO
say, they need not hope TO
carry the state. but they can with vigorous
effort, keep the Republican majority down to
small figures. Mr. Blaine and his CONDUCTORS
made mastery effort TO regain the control
Of the state, and were even able to induce
some of the Greenback leaders who had left
the Republican party TO manifest luke
warmne.s and show tendency to abandon
the Fusion movement, and General
Weaver, the Greenback nominee for
president, himself an ex Republican OPP
posed the Fusion movement, but the people
thought for themselves and acted for them
selves in the matter. General II. w. Plais.
ted, the Fusion candidate elect, is also an ex-
Republican, very popular with the people,
and possessed of most brilliant attachments,
and he holds the Fusionists well in hand.
But the work is not ended in Maine Blaine
has great pertinacity of purpose and will
make supreme effort to secure the seven
electoral votes Of that state for Garfield, and
the opposition must be wary, vigilant aud
untiring from now to November.

Gov. Hubbard in n recent speech before
the St. Louis cotton compress company OBJ
served: "Texas will raise 100000 bales of
cotton this year and st. Louis is entitled to
ono-fourth OF it, but you must treat us fairly
or we will so elsewhere" Governor Hub
bard concluded his remarks BY telling story
in connection with the census of st. Louis.
He said Texas merchant had met st.
Louis commercial traveller and said to him,
"Why, | SEQ st. Louis has lost 100000 in
population; how's that?' 80, said the
commercial traveller that is all n mistake;
the fact is, when the census men began to
enumerate st. Louis they obtained $50, 900
names and then quit in disgust, as they found
80 many people there they concluded it was
too big job" "The Texas merchant" said
the speaker "believed the story and contln.
