GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.
How the Gloom IL Progressing
Shreveport standard.

The cut-throat struggle between the Grant
men and the anti third termers in Illinois is
'pannins out" Just about as we'll as every
Democrat ard every patriot could wish. The
Chicago meeting on Monday Is a very fair
specimen of all the county primaries and is
important on account of the large number of
delegates to which Cook county is. entitled in
the State convention which meets at Spring
field one week from to-day. Out of one
hun lred and lorty-four delegates the third
termers could only drum up ffty-icven, al
though it has been generally supposed that
Chicago was the place where the "boom,"
under the exortons of John Logan, would
minority of thirty for the silent man. A
most significant feature of the meeting was
the large vote polled by Mr. Ellihu b. Wash
discoverer of Grant as n Presidential candi-
date, and his claim Is about as well establish
cd as that Of Col. Fremont to the woody
horse. Grant, too, has not been ungrateful
20 his old friend. He was his first Secre-
tary of State, and when he had laid aside the
portfolio OF the State department, after
service of u day or two, he was comfortably
provided for with the French mission for
eight years, Washburne has, hitherto, been
deemed the main promoter of the thlrd-term
boom and happens to reside in Illinois, where
his services are most needed. 1t has been
whispered for some time past that he had
aspirations himself, and consequently had de-
serted the third-t ermers. II was both affirmed
and denied. The Chicago vote would seem
10 indicate that he was really in the fed.
II so Grant cannot got Illinois. If he does
not get the great mass of the delegates from
that State he cannot be nominated His
friends ut Chicago have set the example of
boiling. They may do the same thing at
Springfield They may even do the same
in the National convention. Then will fol-
low elimination and recrimination. Each
side will abuse tho other, no matter who may
be nominated. Such course cannot fail to
ALLEVIATE many votes from the successful can
didate from among the friends of the unsuc-
cessfu one.

at Chicago, he can, before giving up his
| Presidential ghost, repeat the words Of his
great prototype, SET tu Brute"
Cook county means Chicago,
Cook county, or Chicago, has ninety-two
delegates in the Illinois State convention. If
that convention declares against Grant he is
not only dead, but buried. Cook county
will probably have the balance of power In
the State convention. And Cook county has
declared against Grant by m overwhelming
majority.
Now this is cruel. When Don Cameron
and the Grant gang called the National con-
vention to Chicago, that act was regarded as
great triumph in his Interest," great step
toward his nomination Cameron and the
gang controlled the committee absolutely
They could have called the convention TO any
other city. But these shrewd and astute pol
ticians were unanimous in preierring Chi
cago AS the most favorable place; Chicago
was the great stolwart Republican center of
the Northwest; was the place where Grant
was nominated in 1868; was the city of
Grants own State; was the seat of the gre,
whisky ring, all Of whose members Grant
had pardoned - hicago'5 great Republican
papers were all eulogizing Grant TO the skies
what better place could have been selected
by his friends
When Grant returned from California
Chicago gave him the most wonderful ''re-
ception" and ovation ever known in the his
tory of this Republic. All the papers pros.
trated themselves in the most sycophantc
hero-worshp. Even party lines seemed to
disappear before this apparent cyclone of
And now what change The very pm
pers and people that only few short months
ago Frustrated themselves before Grant like
serfs ARE now most desperate and effective in
cutting his throat. And there is not the
least doubt that the Republican masses of
Chicago are perfectly infuriated and fanat-
cized, as the suicidal breach and split of the
party shows.
Vanity of lile What better illustration
has it ever furnished than the difference
between the Chicago of to-day and the
Chicago of II few months ago? Then it |
was ut the feet of Grant. Now its feet are
over him.

Who IN the Man?
ut Louis Times.

Taking one thing with another, or rather
one State with another, New York with Ohio
and Pennsylvania with Illinois, we think it
is quite clear that Grant, as Presidential
candidate, is done for. Blaine and Jay
Gould have been too much for him. But It
does not follow that because Grant is down
Blaine is up. The defeat of the one does not
necessarily imply the victory Of the other.
Certainly tho Grant vote in the Chicago con-
vention will not 60 to Blaine. Neither will
ii should 90 to him, will not be sufficient to
give him the nomination. The senatorial
syndicate is seGtched, not killed. Conklng
and Cameron and Logan and Carpenter will
hold together strong md fast TO save what
they can from the wreck and the overthrow
They will be strong enough to checkmste
Blaine at every turn.
: Pretty much the same may be said of
Sherman. The individual members of the
syndicate do not love the Secretary of the
Treasury, nor would it suit the purposes of
the syndicate as body to have him Pres-
dent. They cannot trust him. He fooled
them once and may fool them again. Be-
side, in his way-a bad way certainly--he is
smarter than they are. The Republican
party is reduced to the forlorn condition that
1t takes its complexion and shapes its policy
not in accordance with the needs of the
country or the ambitions of great leaders,
but In accordance with the passions, the ami.
mosities and the personal whims of its petty
chiefs. Sherman is one of these petty chiefs,
and the Others will not yield to him.or recog-
nize his superior claims. Washburne's case
Is still more hopeless. On general princi-
Piles, and as the result of an old.time row,
Conkling hates him; he is called honest and
that Is enough to make Blaine dislike him;
and be has the additional disadvantage Just
at this time of having played desperately
for the Grant vote and lost 1t.
The man who is wanted is one of not
sufficient importance to have awakened the
Jealousy, nor of sufficient force Of character
to have antsgonized the ambition, of any of
the petty chiefs; who is facile and supple
and serviceable, and whom every one Of the
angry aspirants thinks he can control and
mold to bis purpose. That man, IL We
mistake not, is William Window, of Minne-
sofa. He is as colorless rs chameleon. He
takes bis character apparently from the peo-
pie with whom he associates. The Grant
crowd can go TO him, because in his nagni6
Gently pompous kind of way and as a pecu
liar act of co,desoension on his part, Conk-
ling once alluded to him as a presidential
possibility. Blaine would accept him, be.
cause he couldn't do any better, and he
would think that with Window President in |
the White House, he would be President in |
tho Senate. And he is Just the man to suit
Jay Gould, because jay Gould knows that |
he could use him as he pleased.

The Gould Roads.

i.eaVcnworth Times.
We copy elsewhere an excellent article
from the Wamego Agriculturst IN regard to
the manner in which Mr.. Gould is disposed
to manage his Kansas roads--so as TO give
the farmers of Kansas the benefit Of the St
Louis markets, and prevent the middlemen
Of Kansas City from levyipg toll upon
everything we have to SELL AS we have said
before. this is simply fulhlment on the
part of Mr. Gould of promises he made when
in tho State some months ago, that tho roads
under his control in Kansas should be CON
Quoted in the interests of the State. And AS
long as he adheres to this policy he may be
sure of having the hearty cooperation and
support of all our people. There is no rea-
son why Kansas people should be taxed to
build up a Missouri town, and the disposition
now manifested by our railway managers to
relieve our people of this onerous burden is
one of the most hopeful signs of the times.

The Alleged Census Frauds.

The census enumeration OF the southern
states returned a population so much larger
than had been credited to that section that SuS-
piciOn OF fraud was raised. This suspicion, sup
ported by The fact that but little of the incom-
Ing tide of immigration had flowed to the south,
was vigorously used by the partisan press South
Carolina was especially pointed out as state
that could not, under all the circumstances have
made the gains in population reported by the
enumerators and specific allegations Of fraud
were frequently put forth by party papers. Su-
peTintendent Walker determined TO investigate
these allegations, and lie selected for this work
some OF bis most capable assistants. After
weeks OF diligent labor In going over the work
OF the enumeratOI5 In that state, General
Walker has submitted the result OF the
investigation to the interior department. 1t
Is demonstrated clearly that the census
enumeration OF 1880 was honest and accurate
and that that OF $50 was imperfect and defec.
tive throughout. The inquiry Ia South Car
DINA went back to 1860, tracing families then
enumerated On through the census Of 1870 and
down to the present year. 1t was discovered
that numerous families enumerated In 1860 and
1850, were omitted from the returns in 1870,
though they had existed in the state conttn-
uOusly during those years. Counties that
showed the largest increase this year, as COM
pared With 1870, were most thoroughly inyeStt.
gated, and it was found that the last enumera-
ton was correct, though In some cases It
showed an increase OF SO per cent. This report
OF Gen. Walker puts an end TO the cry of SOUTH
ern census frauds, but what Is still more
important, IL demonstrates the honesty. and
therefore The value Of this years census. Even
suspicion OF unfairness Or iDaccuracy, II Well-
founded, would impair if not destroy
the worth OF the entire work aud no doub- II
was because OF this that Gen. Walker ordered
The investigation in the south. There has been,
during the last three or four years, a steady
Inflow OF settlers into some OF the southern
states, but 1t has progressed so quietly that no
pubic attention was directed to it. This move.
ment has consisted almost entirely OF families
from northern states who have been induced to
go south because OF the general tmprovem 3nt
In the condition and affairs OF that section.
The large and remunerattve cotton crops Of
the last two or three years have made

and mechanics Of the NORTH have been quick to
take advantage OF the enlarged opportunities
