argument by inference. Mr.. Bayne, Demo
cratic member from Pennsylvania, used 1t upon
his Republican colleague, General Harry
White, but without effect. General White re-
peated the obnoxious statement, when was
that Mr.. Bayne had falsely said that he did not
look after his constituents pension claims VI
the meeting "outside," we have no report out
the public need not be distressed by the sus"
pense. Probably there was no blood shed.
Mr.. Bayards bill to pay the marshaIs the
money due them was passed by the Senate yes
terday by party vote, and Mr.. Conkhngs
amendment making it apply also to the deputy
marshas appointed for duty in connection with
elections was rejected by the solid Democratic
majority. 1t will not be forgotten IN the APP
preaching campaign that the Democrats IN
Congress kept the United States Government
in the disgracefu attitude of defaulter TO-
ward its own employees for nearly year, and
then refused to pay portion of them Tor SER
vices fairly and legally rendered.
From the interviews we are publishing with
prominent Cuban patriots in this city, there Is
reason for believing that the new revolution
which General Garcia has gone to lead is a for
midabe affair, well organized in advance, pro-
yided with sagacious and experienced generals,
and having one great advantage wIlch no
previous revolt possessed-the support of the
black population, which is justly enraged to
find no tangible benefits coming from the
emancipation decree. A war for emancipation
as we'll as national autonomy cannot tall 10
awaken q great deal of sympathy in the
United States. Cuba has been an appanage OF
Spain ever since Columbus set foot on her
Shores and has, therefore, had ample time to
outgrow the need of colonial dependence on
European monarchy. If her people want to
work out their destiny without the aid OF
Spanish soldiers and tax collectors, Americans
cannot do otherwise than wish them success.
Regardless alike Of the rules of the party, the
rights of Congressional Districts, and their own
record in the Cook County matter, the Grant
managers in Illinois forced their pro-
gramme through with high hand,
packed q solid Grant delegation to Chi
cago, and bound it with instructions lest
it should break loose after all their trouble
The Chicago districts which have just expressed
their reputation of the thlrd-term scheme in
so conspicuous manner, have Grant delegates
forced upon them, and the country districts,
whose Republican voters were reported by their
representatives in the Convention to be nine
to one against Grant, are served in the same
way. One thing can be said in favor OF
Logan, who bossed the Convention in rude
Western fashion by method we are not wholly
unaccustomed to here in the East-therc was
nothing small about him. He adopted no half
way measures. He set out to give the State to
Grant, and he did it without hesitating on ac-
count of such trihing things as decency, con-
sistency, courtesy, the good of the party, or
the danger of a detection that may ruin 1t at
the election. To use the coarse phrase current
on his own praires, he went the whole hog"
What the defrauded Republicans of the anti
Grant Districts will do We shall see i'll day
or two.
