1t will be seen by the above table
of electoral votes that the only hope
the Republican party had or have,
with all their noise over Indiana and
Ohio, of electing Garfield, is in car
rying Flew York, for if the thirty-fve
electoral votes of New York are taken
from the Republican column and
placed in the Democratic column then
Hancock will be elected, having 1873
electoral votes and Garfield 1911 votes.

TILE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The con genton at Chicago has been in ses-
sion three days, and we are thus far without
any indications sufficiently definite to prog
nosticate who will be the nominee. Anything
thereon we might predict with The news in
hand as basis would be purely guess,
and wa are too near the fact Tor that, AS cor
rect prophecy would do no good, and an in
correct one would be worse than useless.
This much, however, we may say, that the
developments thus far had are unfavorable
to the "third-termer." The appointment of an
anti-Grant member as provisional and then
as permanent chairman; the adoption of the
majority report last night in the matter OF
condensation of districts, ETC.; the evident fate
of the unit rule; the positive antipathy ny
manifested by New York, PcnnsyI-
vania, and other State delegates;
the i'll temper of the Globe,Democrat, the
Grant organ; the threat of Conkling that the
Grant men shall stand firm, although they
lack some IS or so votes out Of $40 to n"m-
mate him--all these Things tell the tale that
the chances of the "Silent Man" are slim.
Again, the bitterness of feeling between the
Blaine and the Conkling factions, old feuds,
Justify the conclusion that the "Plumed
Knight" will have no easy race, if teyer be
possible for his friends to secure the nonina-
ton for him. 1t would seem, therefore, TIE
some compromise candidate would be a ne
cessity. One feature is also noticeable, the
evident general dislike to the third term idea'
and yet another one is that the people Oft at
party are getting tired of "bosses," that is of
few men running and ruling their whole
business. The convention will make
nomination eventually, but sores
and wounds will be left behind that bodies no
good To party already not in harmony.
The Democratic party will do well to read
and ponder upon the lesson now being
taught in Chicago. If they will assemble at
Cincinnati and quietly and quickly deter
mine on platform and candidate the
moral effect of such harmony will
be- worth hundreds of thousands of votes TO
the cause. But if hitch is made in the
Tilden interest, MS is now being occasioned
by the Grant faction, it must be matter of
the profoundest regret, as well as it will be
of tho seyerest censure by all who are inter-
ested in plucking the fruit that Republican
selflshness shall have placed within our grasp.

Now that a majority of the me mbers of
the Democratic State Executive committee,
and handsome majority too, have voted in
favor of holding the next State convention
at Dallas, preparations must be made to en-
terrain the delegates and visitors who will DO
here. The city has ample hotel accommo-
dation-in fact there is no trouble about the
matter in any respect whatever, but it is a
duty incumbent upon our citizens that they
in good time make preparation. The hall in
which to hold the convention must be pro-
cured and fitted up, and various committees
for various purposes must be appointed /;
therefore it is well that the meeting at Grad
docks Opera-house be well attended TO-
night. 1t is folly on the part of any, if in
deed any are really doing it as report
ed, to censure Colonel Bower, Chair
man of the Executive committee,
for the conventions coming here. He had
nothing to DO with it in any way, acting as it
was proper he should, as the disinterested
officer of the committee, saying nothing.
Thepeople of Dallas worked diligently to
secure the convention here, just as the peo-
pie ofHouston did to secure it for that place,
and as they had perfect right to do. They
wrote |, tiers, brought whatever of argument
to bear they could, and they have been sue.
cessful. The votes have been given to Dallas,
and of course the convention will be held
here This convention will bring over a
thousand people to our city from all over
the State, and it is well for us, in our own
behalf, that we produce a good impression
upon them, that we let them see Dallas in
her true light as she is. To do this we must
have hall for the convention in
which the delegates and lockers
on will be comfortable, ard we
must make other arrangements, too. There
must be rooms where tho friends of the va.
rions candidates can fix their hea iquarters
and hold their caucusses, and where the
necessary committees of the convention can
meet and hold their sessions. There is no
little to attend to, and that il should be attend.
edso judicicusly and promptly, it lie proper
taat there should be full attendance of GU,
business men at the meeting tonight.
