The Republican presidential cam
paign virtually opens to-day at Har-
risburg, Pennsylvania. Senator Cam
erou has been whooping up things
with lively hand, and it is believed
'thathe controls the State convention.
His own county delegates are in
structed to vote for solid delegation
to the Chicago convention, which
means that Cameron is solid for
Grant. Itremains to be whether
he will force this convention to send a
Grant delegation to Chicago against the
will of large number of smaller Re-
publican leaders and majority of the
voters in his party. 1t is claimed by
Cameron and his strikers that the
convention will be for Grant four to
one. AS Grant can be beaten at tie
polls about as easily as any one the Re
publicans are likely to nominate, We
certainly have no objection to Cam
eron's pet scheme.

IT was promised that the Memphis
and Paducah railroad would be speed
lily completed, but we do not hear that
work has been commenced on either
side of the gap. The accumulation Of
cotton here for the want of railroad
transportation indicates the impor-
tance of having another outlet. 1t is
not the tariffs that We complain Of but
the delay in moving the cotton
and the injury to the cotton when We
have more on hand than the sheds
will accommodate. The completion
Of this road would open up to Mem
phis an immense local trade in four or

work has commenced, with assurance
that it will be finished by next fall.
