PRECEDENrs ON THE UNIT RULE

PRECEDENTS ON THE UNIT RULE
There is not much point in looking
mp precedents to show how the Chicago
Convention will act on the unit rule.
That Convention will take the bit IN ITS
mouth and run away with and kick the
dash board out of any precedent or other
Kind OF vehicle in which any candidate
attempts to ride into place over GRANT.
Nevertheless, some of the Republican
papers think it worth their while and
are busying themselves getting up an
array OF precedents on this unit rule
business, which they claim will govern
the Chicago Convention.
Ii is claimed that Republican Nation
al Conventions have uniformly main
tanned the individual rights Of delegates
The rule Of proceeding on this point has
ALWAYS been, il is maintained, to declare
that the chairman shall report the votes
of his State a. the several delegates
shall cast them, and that they shall he
50 recorded and counted, regardless OF
home instructions. II delegates violate
instructions, it is question for them
selves and their constituencies to settle
in their own way.
The question Of the binding force oil
the unit rule, therefore, Is held to be =
matter OF consideration Tor the several
delegates to decide Tor themselves. The
delegates-at-large are presumed to be
fairly bound by the instructions given
them BY the convention that created
them, but even they can disregard their
instructions il they choose to take the
responsibility and the National Conven-
ton will not interfere.
Whether district delegates are bound
by the instructions Of a convention that
does not appoint but merely rstines
the selections mE'le by the districts,
seems to be a debatable question, but
this is held as in other cases, to be
subject with which National oonyen'
ton has nothing to do.
The matter Of the unit rule, however,
is losing its importance in view OF the
TACT that GRANT would certainly gain
more from States instructed against
him than he can lose from States in
struc,ed for him, by the abandonment OF
the unit rnle. II looks now as II all
contestants would be willing to let the
opes,ior of the unit rule drop.

Tax Boston fire department has
adopted a simple but useful apparatus
known as a dumping cloth, to be used
in catching people Jumping from burn
ing buildings. Itconsists OF sheet OF
strong duck about ten feet square, with
convenient arrangements around the
edges for the men to hold it by. The
duck is Strengthened by wide strips
sewed diagonally from corner TO corner.
The cloths occupy but little space when
folded, and are easily carried with the
fire apparatus. IL is believed that they
will prove very useful in saving lille.
Every city and town ought to provide
something similar.

and Madison street ont to the city
limits into the other ward. This will
net work as the ward below the ave-
nue. would DO Republican and the
ward abOue would be more Democratic
than ever, and nothing would be gain
ed 10 the Democrats by such q divide
The dividing line would have 10 run In
the other direct ion 10 bring the an,
ga or and it Is most liksly that Elm OF
Chestnut street may Re made the div
sion line. However the Democratic
wire palieTs are at work canvassiug ths
ward as well as BroWntown to see hos
the land lies, and no mistake will be
made that will hurt their party If they
can help it.
All thought Of dividing the Second
Ward into two wards, II is said, hal
been abandoned, as the vote in that
ward at the late election was too Tx
comfortably close to admit Of a division
by wards. The South Side would be
created into q separate election distric'
were 1t not that It would be Republican
sAd would count q Republican ipspeC'
tor 10 the County "Canvassing Board
unless the Demaora could fud some
body like "Bin" Lee, "Pap Gardner
or 4. c. Hnigh. to hold the Little Blec'
tious. The Eighth ward Is what puzzles
Democratic brGins most on the division
question. |! po.lad larger vote a! The
late cleo ion than any other ward il
the city, the vote overseeing l,lg0,
and there were 500 more In the ward
who did ret vote. The ward is Repuk-
licsn, and needs to be divided, bu. no
line can be run in any direction
through it without making either two
Republican wards Or two Republican
districts.
Under these circumstance il is hard
10 tell how the Democrats will gerry
mander the wards to cave the City
Council to themselves. The Reputli-
CANS, however, can console themselves
with the fact that 10 gsrrymsnder or
cutting up Of the wards will prevent
the election of a Republican
Mayor, President Of City Coun-
oil and City Treasurer next Sep
ts nter. unlsss the Democratic inspec-
tors Of ele tiO1s adopt and carry out
the "Bill" Lee and "Pat" Gardner
plan Of holding elections.

The Floating DeOt,

| The Democratic papers In this city
differ about floating debt. The Ev
Tory Evening some sig weeks ago inform
ID it's readers that the large cOu:raG,i
were not paid and that by the end OF
the year there would be floating debt
OF ESQ, 900. This We thought at the
time vas too low and We think 81 s.il!
Il Is rue that the City Treasurer re,
ported sl5 ,27L94 in bank TO the credi
Of the city at the las: stated mee.ir J,
Of Council, bat the water bills were moi
paid of, the appropr iatiops being ex-
bSaustsd Including these bills ana
the December payments which will not
5s paid until the second week In JaL-
I'usry the amount required to pay them
OF will fully equal the amount in the
Treasury. Then all the contracts and
other bills Of considerable size the pay
msnt OF which has been postponed, will
be the floating deOt OF the city. tn.
Gazette has the means Of knowing how
much this amount is, and IL 1t viii!
just take tho troubls to publish the
items, the public will have q chance
to knoT how much the floating dobt OF
the cityi5. The city was only ENABLED
to get along on tax rate of $l.l0 on
the 500 this year, because 1t found
1872, $50 in the Treasury Of the Board |
Of Education which it appropriated and
spent amongst the CURRENT exrenses.
Las! year the city only got through on
tax rate of $l.lj by apprcpiiating |
.J4, 900 Of borrowed money and using
3 fer curroat expenses. The tax rate
o. 1881 is not fixed yet, but It is hard
