THE NEWS From CHICAGO.

EVERYTHING looks favorable for the defeat of
the reckless scheme of the Senatorial Triumvi-
rate to force Grant upon the Chicago COnven-
ton. The preliminary fight for free ballot is
practically won already. A majority of the deie-
gates are determined that the right of individ-
ual voting shall not be suppressed by order
of Don Cameron. They are equally determined
that the Republican party shall not have
candidate thrust upon it against its Will.
The third-term managers resolved yesterday
to try to carry out their original programme for
tying and gagging the majority in defiance of the
storm of opposition. Senator COnkllng refused
to accept for the temporary craftsmanship
either of the men named by the anti-Grant
leaders, even rejecting Senator HOar, the
head of the Edmunds movement, who has
all along been claimed by the Grant people as
not hostile to their candidate. In the meet
ing of the National Committee the issue
of q free ballot was squarely raised
by Chandler and Chaffee. Twenty-nine
out of the fOrty-twO members demanded
that there should be no attempt by
Cameron to apply the unit rule. Cameron
refused to entertain a resolution on this
subject and then refused to entertain an
appeal from his decision, thus beginning early
his bulldozing tactics The Committee was still
in session at 2 o'clock this morning. A
resolution appointing a subcommittee to select
temporary chairman was adopted. Final action
had not been reached on Cameron's outrageous
performance, but the Committee must take
order that the wishes of its majority shall be
respected and the Convention fairly organized.
The unit rule will not be forced on the
Convention against the will of majority of It's
members. No bulldOzing tactics nor parliament
ary tricks will avail against the IesOute deter
mination of that majority to make its own rules
and to maintain the well-cstablished Republican
principle of the right Of individual voting.
What, then, will be the prospects of the des-
perate third term conspiracy after it is baffled
IN it's attempt to control the organization of
the Convention by applying the rule on which
it has staked its hOpes7 Can Grant be NOM
mated by fair, free ballot, unshackled by the
unit rule7 There is just one possibility OF such
a result. 1t is not pleasant to have to mention
it, but the fact is too apparent to admit Of
concealment, that the only remaining hope of the
Grant men lies in capturing a portion of the
negro delegates from the South, who were
chosen to support Sherman. These men are
door and irresponsible. They have no intelli-
gent constituencies to hold them to strict &C
count. They may be induced to betray their
trust by influences brought to bear at Chicago.
If they are faithful to their promises, Grants
nomination is inevitably defeated.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-06-01

were glad to get work at all, when many OF
the mills were idle, and when bar iron sold IN
Philadelphia at $40 80 per ton. But the SUD
den reduction, from the high wages OF req,
ruary last to the low wages now rendered.
necessary by the condition of the BUSINESS
causes great dissatisfaction and strlke'
This reduction is in strict accordance with
the sliding scale which the men themselves
demanded and formally agreed to aDlde ny
years ago. But they now insist upon cnanee'
so that, no matter how low iron Sells tne
payment for pudding shall never be less tnan
So so per ton, while any advance In the
selling price above 50 so shall bring them
corresponding increase of wages. Inc
manufacturers say they can better anoro 70
stop work altogether than to accede to TINS
demand, and thus a strike begins winch
may cost the wOrkingmen an immense
sum before it ends, and will seriously
increase the difficulties under which the
manufacturer labOrs. In 1874. when the
cost of living had not been much reduced
since the times of extreme initiation and hlgn
prices, and when the purchasing power Oh
dollar was far less than it is now, the pud-
dlers of Pennsylvania were satisfied with an
average of S. % per ton, While the
price Of bar iron ranged from $62 " to
$73 90 per ton. At that time the average Oh
prices was 81 per cent above the specie level
of 1860, so that wages of So % in currency
would then buy only as much as wages OF
81 in gold, at the prices of 1850, to which
we have since returned. Yet the puddlers
demand higher wages in 1880, and In gold
or a currency as good as gold, than they
fhoir
ing at much higher prices
Tie condition Of the iron manufacture Is
not such as to justify any demands which In
yolve increased cost of production. American
manufacturers, as the latest report OF the
Iron and Steel Association shows, can pro-
duce more iron of all kinds than this
country has ever consumed. The producing
capacity of the furnaces is 100000 tons
per year, while the total consumption in 1879
was only 3,O70,975 tons Of domestic make,
and about 100000 tons of imported iron OF
all kinds The storehOuses in this city are
crowded with imported iron, which cost IN
Great Britain (May 15) 81 so to $12 per ton,
and is selling here for 500 per ton. 1t is
unreasonable to suppose that the price OF iron
of domestic production can be greatly adj
vanced, under these circumstances, nor is
there anything in the condition Of for
eign markets to warrant expectation
that prices there can be soon adj
vanced If the American iron workers
insist upon wages which make iron
cost more than the imported article from Eng
land, they simply insist upon going without
work or pay themselves, in order that British
workers may get more work and more pay.
