III shows one of the worst tendencies of n

the present trying uncertainty and mystery
surrounding the affair, and it is beyond sup

CONTROLLING TIE CONVENTION

CONTROLLING THE CONVENTION
The Star thinks that - if Mr.. Tilden means
mot to nominate himself but to control the
" nomination of his party at Cincinnati, it is
pretty safe to predict that he will succeed. -
It says further:
Ills desire to pay on these scores before he finally
retres from the political field may be the motive that
Is prompting him to keep up his contest for delegates
III spite OF the opronounced opinion that he cannot
get the nomination. ltwould be something of a vic
tory Tor him TO exercise power enough In the conyen
uon TO slaughter his enemies and compel the nomipa
lion OF friend. He could do this with minority Of
the delegates at his back.
The Star, which under the false pretense
OF independence never misses an opportunity
10 create Impressions I'M urious to the Democ-
racy, hates to see that party freed from the
incubus OF Tildenism. The wish is father To
the thought we have quoted. The idea that
Mr. Iilden will be potential at Cincinnati
arises from asuperficial view of politics. The
delegations from the States which cast their
hrst votes for Mr.. Tilden will not share his
hatreds or preferences, but will have their
own future chiefly at heart. Most of their
members will be seeking preferment for
themselyes-some. will be candidates for
Congress; many will be candidates for State
Legislaturesj others still will have ambitions

after. Now, it is clear enough that these
men Will be most of all anxious to make a
strong nomination, one which will helm them
at home, and they will care yery little
whether Mr.. Tilden's resentments are or ara
not satisfied. When it becomes apnarent
that he Will not be the candidate they will
be more anxious TO discern the coming man
or TO see to 1t that the coming man is n strong
man. than to be the mere tools of any person
Whatever. The evidence which is already

natural that these delegates will chiefly de.
sire the nomination of a candidate who o.r
restore their State safely into the hands of
the Democracy. They will not hasten TO
execute neyenges they do not personally
crave, unless they think they can secure
ther own fortunes by the same act. In other
words, the Democratic party has little to fear
from Mr. Tilden, after his candidacy ceases.
SIMPLY because more powerful interests than
his desires will at once arise.

the sentiment of the party. Four years

They (Morton, Conkling, ButIer.) knew
him (Blaine) as the people did not know
him. They knew him as the man who
had voted for or failed to oppose every
subsidy of either land or money asked
while he was in Congress. They knew
him as man who had voted for the at
rocious robbery by which the government
lien for It's sixty-four millions advanced to
the Pacific Railroad was changed from a first
to q second mortgage. They knew him as a

a Navy That Falls TO K1eces.


Dnrino the brief discussion Ia the senate
unon a memorial praying congress to
annropriate literally Cor the relief of the
suffering poor of Ireland, Mr.. Thurman
onposed the mpIoyment of ships of war
TO transport supplies, on the ground that
they would DE torn to pieces. Mr..
Whyte, who is member OF the naval
committee, answered promptly: IF we
believe all that we hear about the navy,
the danger is that most of the Uessels aoilt
fall to pieces"
This opinion is confirmed by formal
report of the naval committee of the
house. which recommends a reconstruct
ton of the navy on plan of largo annual
appropriations. Fifteen or more millions
are voted away every year to keep up
these rotten hulks, most of which are uuft
for service of any kind, and, according to
the admission of Mr.. Thurman would be
''torn to pieces" if employed to carry few
thousand barrels of -four on mission OF
charity.
This sham navy is maintained as great
national establishment, merely to support,
in ease and luxury, thousands OF ofheers,
active and retired, who render no equiva-
lent for the pay and emoluments they
receive Every dollar appropriated for
this object is absolutely thrown away. 1t
is like pouring water into an old sieve,
expecting to fill it. IG the last ten years
two hundred and fteen millions of dollars
were voted for the navy. in time OF pro-
found peace, and without ripple on the
surface, except that agitated by Secor
Robson during the SO called Spanish i'm
broglio, as a means of extorting an extra
four millions from congress upon the pre-
10 oh
ginius affair.
The expenditure Of these four millions
was job for the contractors. and their
c0nfederates 10 the department skilled 10
the rule of Addition. Division and Silence.
Secor Robson knew perfectly well that
Spain never intended to fight to defend an
outrage condemned by the civilized world,
ard. we ara told. it is capable OF positive
proof from the records of the department,
If Admiral Cases dispatches have not been
stolen or destroyed, that Robson had OH
cial information that the question was
settled when the whole European squadron
was ordered homa to rendezvous at Key
West
Ii was necessary TO have some cover for
the enormous outlay, aud all the ships
within reach of the cable were brought to
the United States, to do duty merely 70
hide steal more daring than any other of
the many perpetrated by this notorious
jobber during his vebal career of eight
years as the Naval Secretary OF Gr&ntism.
In the face of such facts, Congress con-
tinues to appropriate tens of millions for a
worthless navy, which has no strength to
fight an enemy with. and no speed to run
away from one. Taxpayers are expected
to put their hands 10 their pockets. and to
say well done to Representatives Eho. by
their voices and their votes, uphold this
barefaced spoIiation OF the Treasury

Senator Logan ia working zealously for
Grants nomination and is vigorously OPP
posed by the Chicago Tribune, while the
Inter Ocean, is as strong in support of
Grant. The Tribune although four years
ago an opponent of Blaine, is now among
his staunchest supporters, and in an ed-
terial in last Fridays paper. eases its
mind, as follows:
-Four years ago the I, o. was fierce
for Blaine for President. It is DOW oppos-
ing him In every way it dare 1t tries TO
beilttle his prospects, ridicules his supper
terS sneers at every oOe who likes him,
suppresses pretty much all news from lts
columns that favors his chances. and
plumes itself on its consistency But it is
not free agent, and therefore is excusa-
bic, but mere conduit of q Senator'S
schemes and selfshness-simply the per-
sonal organ of a machine politician"
The Inter- Ocean replies to this in pure
stalwart style, but the Tribune goes on
with its opposition 10 Grant. and thus
does the fight between factions become
beautifully interesting to the other fellows
who are watching for the TO jump.
The Tribune can oppose. and so also can
all other papers not in the ring, but it is
time wasted. for Grant will receive the
vote of the Illinois delegation in the Re-
publican convention, This is as the

machine will be manipulated See if il is |
