meut should break down before the
Chicago Convention, it will still have
served the purpose of it's leading pro-
motors. These, lit is said, while they |
mean to do all in their power to renom-
mate the ex-President if they think he
can certainly be elected, do not intend
to run any risks, and will not suffer
him to be brought before the conyen-
i ton unless they are convinced that he
! has better chance of being elected i'll
/ November than any other candidate.
! But in case, they abandon the ex-Presi-
! dent, they are no less determined, it is
said, to name the candidate. That is
to say: they form Senatorial syndi-
cate, who have made up their minds
that the nominee, whoever he may he,
shall be their man, indebted to them
| for the nomination and ready, of course,
to repay this special obligation when
he gets into the White House. This
syndicate project, of course, limits the
choice. 1t excludes certain candidates

is not acceptable to the syndicate and
will be opposed by them in any con-

Others Suspect it was the result Of the
intrigues Of Bismarak's agents and par
tisans of the Czarowitz with the Nihi-
lists. TIis is regarded in some quarters
| as probaole, as the Car is in Bismarck's
! way-tle Emperor William loving his
nephev too well to wage war against
him. If the conspirators were unsparing
of soliiers' lives, they were economic of
courters-no member Of the Imperial
household having been injured in the
explosion. The laying of the mine
shows knowledge of the Emperor's
daily life. The Brown Roo is not the
ordinary dining-room of the Imperial
family, and has been only used as such
since the Empress returned home. The
Grand Duke Nicholas is stupefed by
the horrifying news from St. Peters
burg.
General Howard will appear before
the Senate Select Committee on the
Freedmans Bank. Fred. Doug
lass will afford valuable assistance.
The expenses Of running the bank are
s25, 900 yearly, $1,000 Of st to three
Commissioners. 1t is now proposed to
appoint the Comptroller of Currency as
Commissioner alone, at salary of
81 900, with authority to compromise
debts.
