sible. Even If he should carry every State In
which delegates are yet to be chosen-a result
which the exposure Of his weakness in Illinois
makes extremely improbable-nO Convention
of earnest and patriotic Republicans Will VEN
ture to nominate O candidate whose leading
supporters in his own State have resOrted to
bolt because they were Outvoted, and so have
aroused the intense feeling which now exists.
1t may be that General Grant himself is in no
way responsible for this mischief and misbe-
havior, though, being at hand, he should have
been able to restrain his friends. But the bad
feeling exists, and it makes General Grant abb
solutely and palpably impracticable as a Pres-
Dental candidate, because, If he should be
nominated, the bolt of his friends would be
bitterly remembered by the Inverted majority
of Republicans, and the chance of securing the
electoral vote of Illinois for a candidate nOmi-
mated by such means would not be worth con-
sidering. The Republicans of this country are
not going to Chicago to get themselves de-
feated. They have too much patriotism, too
much anxiety to keep the Government out of
Democratic control, and too much good sense,
to court defeat in one of the largest Republican
States by taking up the quarrel of beaten and
boiling minority there.
This will be so plain, within very short
time, that all Republicans who sincerely desire
the success of the party will take steps to pre-
pare for some other nomination. Delegates
who have hitherto expressed preference for
General Grants nomination will find In the
recent events abundant reason for change OF
opinion. 1t matters not now whether General
Grant would or would not have been the
strongest candidate, had he obtained the sup
port of the delegates from his own State by
the choice of o majority of its Republican
voters 1t is enough that, after what has been
done by his friends, he is tho one candidate
whose nomination would take Illinois out of
the list of safe Republican States, and arouse
the hostility of the Republican Germans else
where. For this reason alone, If there were
no other, delegates will now revise their pref
erences, and regard former resolutions of in
struction or request as no longer of weight. 1t
is not the duty, nor is it the right, of delegates
from any State to thrust the party forward
towards the gulf of defeat because his constit-
uents could not foresee the fatal conduct of the
third-term leaders at Chicago.

A SPARK IN THE EAST.

A revolt in Albania is the latest phase Of the
interminable Eastern Question. This portion
of the Sultan's European Empire remained
loyal to him 80 long as his armies were in the
field against the Bosnian insurgents or the
Servians or the Russians, but bristled with
arms as soon as he was forced to sue for peace.
There are few Slavs and fewer Greeks in
Albania. The province is inhabited mainly by
MOhammedans and Roman Catholics, who
gained nothing and lost much by the race con-
flicts in the Balkan peninsula. To the Monte
negrins, between whom and themselves there
had been border warfare and feuds for hun
dreds of years, was ceded broad strip of their
territory. Give it up they would not, and the
shrewdest and most popular generals in the
Sultan's service were unable to enforce the
DEGREES of the Berlin Congress. After q series
of massacres, revOlts and armistices, con-
vention was finally negotiated between the
Porto and the MOntenegrin Prince, and ratified
by the European Powers. Late in April the
territory coded to the heroic mOuntaineers was
evacuated prematurely by Osman Pacha's
troops, and when the MOntenegrins crossed the
frontier they found every defensive position
occupied by strong force of Albanians. The
Turks had gOne out twenty-fOur hours before
the Montenegrins had expected to march in,
and in tho interval the Albanians had en-
trenched themselves. A fortnight afterward q
declaration of rights was signed by the chiefs
Of the Mohammedan and Roman Catholic
tribes. They renowned their allegiance to the
ultan, dismissed every civil and military
officer who failed to recognize the authority OF
the Albanian League, affirmed the right OF self
III Jo;l -bO
to the revolution to leave the country.
When the sparks Of revolt were first kinded
In Bosnia, the flames spread fast because the
populations were like dry tinder In Albania
the material Is less cOmbustible for there is no
subject race with religion despsed by its con-
duerOrs and rulers This declaration Of indie
pendence will not enlist the sympathies of the
growing natiOnahties of the peninsula. 1t is
grounded on resistance to the will not only of
the Porto, but of the European States, for the
extension of the Montenegrin frontier is fully
guaranteed in the Treaty of Berlin. The Eng
llsh Liberals have advocated the policy of pro-
noting the principle of nationality in the East,
but in this instance they will set their faces
in the opposite direction. Lord Granville has
already taken the lead in bringing the Euro
pean Powers into accord on this question, and
in enforcing the demand that the Turks shall
reconquor the territory which they evacuated,
and then put the Montenegrns In possession of
it. The revolt is likely to come to an end
within few months. Yet something has been
done toward creating a new nation. The mani
festo of the Albanian chiefs may be handed
down only as tradition of independence, but
it is more likely that it will be worked out prac-
tically in the course of time.

WHAT THE GIANT BOLT MEANS.

The bolt of the Grant men at Chicago Sim
plifes the situation. Hitherto, this faction has
been fighting against majority Of the Rcpub-
lican party, but has loudly denied the fact.
Now the fact is admitted, and the beaten mi
nority begins to bolt. In q movement of that
sort, the third term people will lose public sup
port rapidly. There are many Republican voters
and workers who were disposed to prefer the
nomination of General Grant 80 long as they sup
posed it could be attained in the usual and
lawful methods and without risking the sue
cess of the Republican party itself. The CHI
cagO performance tells them that men are
using the name of General Grant " no mean
to rule or ruin. 1t warns them that further
support of the third-term business will en-
danger Republican success, even if it docs not
lead them into an attitude of open hostility to
the Republican party. Every sincere Republi-
can will now think twice before he suffers the
third-tem managers to use his vote any
further.
There was no respectable excuse for q bolt
from the Republican Convention of Cook
County. Whether any excuse might afterward
have been given, had the Grant men remained,
they have no ground now for asserting. BY
retiring they confessed that they were in
minority and the rolls of tho two Conventions
show that they numbered barely ono-third of
the delegates elected. 1t appears then, that
the Republicans of Chicago vote against the
nomination Of General Grant about two to one,
and the moral effect of such defeat in the
chief city of his own State will be ali the
greater because the bolt calls public attention
to the facts. The pretext that the chairman of
the County Committee had q right to propose
temporary chairman of the Convention is dis
creditably frivolous; for while that custom
exists in come Eastern but in very few Western
States, 1t is not tolerated anywhere except
upon the presumption that the majority OF the
Convention, If not satisfied with name pro-
posed, can and will nominate and elect some
body else. That right was exercised, and thOre
is not even O pretence that the members who
remained, and who voted for the chairman who
actually presided, weren not numerically strong
enough to elect any one they pleased The
Grant people bOlted simply because they were in
q minority, and could not stay in the Conven-
ton and control it,
This bolt has ono result which can now be
foreseen, whatever others may follow. 1t rem

A GOLDEN GAME.

Mr.. Shannons new play. called "A Golden
Came" was produced at the Park Theatre, in
Brooklyn, on Monday night. aud was received with
cordial interest and much applause by large
audience. 1t is three-act piece, with prologue,
written in colloquial and characteristic prose, and
it tells al interesting story Of social intrigue. The
action is supposed to begin in 1851 and to end in
1873. The scene Is laid partly IN New.York and
partly In Nice. The plot relates to rascaps machi-
nations to property, and to his discontinue
in this adventurous effort. There are SIX charao-
ters in the prologue, and eleven in the main body
of the piece. Four set scenes are required. The
incidents are numerous and diversified. The tone,
as will be surmised, Is somewhat conventional,
but tue play practical and effective and 1t will
have career. Dir. Shannon and Mr.. Edeson were
called before the curtain. "A Golden Game Is
