CHICAGO, August 15.-There was wild ex-
citement at the opening on 'Change this

THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION
Hts Secret History Likely to be Sooner
or Later DIVuIged.
Utica Herald.


1t is current belief that the electoral
commission, by whose final vote the
Presidency was stolen from the people,
has a secret history. There exists ample
ground for the belief that at one time the
Republican Justices in the body had de-
cided TO throw out the vote of Florida
entirely. and that one of them Bradley
reached the determination to vote to give
it to Tilden and Hendricks. 1t has been
generally understood that Bradley as
sured Justice Clifford of his intention to
do this. Our readers, or some of them,
may remember that, after the arguments,
and before any votes had been taken,
rumors appeared in Washington CORE
spondence to the effect that Bradley had
confessed to Clifford the Justice of the
Democratic position, and stated that he
would vote to declare Tilden elected.
The report went so far as to assert that
Bradley had written out his opinion, and
would present it when he voted with the
Democrats.
As soon as these stories leaked out the
eminent Republicans who were engineer
ing the steal visited Bradley en- nlGssc.
The result of their persuasion we know.
Bradley tore up his old opinion and
wrote another, in which he sprung his
historic 'aliunde" upon the public. AS
we have said, all this has been a part of
understood history for years, but it has
never been given the weight of au-
thoritative statement. At last we are
promised proofs which, although posthu-
nous, will generally be accepted as posi-
tive.
Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, saws
that Justice Clifford told him several
years ago that he had prepared a COM
plete and detailed history of the proceed
ings of the electoral commission, and that
it would be published after his death,
unless his wife decided otherwise. The
Justice furthermore limited than when
the history was published developments
would be made of startling nature and
damaging to regulations now good.
From another source comes the later
statement that the volume will very soon
be given to the public, and that Brad
ley's duplicity will not only be proved,
but accounted for. We await the ap.
pearance of the history with interest
The people cannot know too much of
the inner history Of the fraud.

GRRAT ANXIETY FELr.

2:15 P. N. Unofficial Bulletin. Much
anxiety is exhibited throughout the city
regarding the Presidents condition, and
numbers Of inquiries have been made at
the Mansion through the day. The feeling
throughout the country was similarly
manifested by the large number Of
press correspondents who called at
the White House to receive the 1890
p. m. bulletin for the respective papers
which they represent. Aside from these,
many requests for the '1atest news" have
been received from the several executive
departments.
The temperature aHd respiration, as stated
in the last bulletin, are generally conceded
as favorable indications, but the pulse,
which is given as 11S, gives considerable
uneasiness In the public mind. Since the
issuance OF the bulletin 1t has been impossi-
bic to confer directly with any of the at
tending surgeons. Attorney General Nc
Veagh called 8 short time ago,and as he was
leaving the White House, said, in reply to
an interrogatorY, that DR.. AgneW attributed
the unusually high pulse to the weak condi-
ton OF the patient, caused BY the nausea
with which be had been troubled. The At

torney General said, further, that the sur
geons informed him that there were no in
dications of ''pus fever" and that thew
hoped they had overcome the trouble
caused by the nausea. II NJ 1rther trou-
bic from that cause is experienced. It is
thought that the President win soon
rally from the bad effects of the attack he
has already had.
The surgeons took the PATIENTS pulse
about las p. m, when It was 112. being a
decrease of beats in less than two hours,
At this hour Private Secretary Brown, who
has just come from the surgeons room.
says the pulse is still decreasing.

American Loyalty to Law.
Iopdou Economist, Sept. 40

London economist RSRs' @'f
r.;,a~.,a, rely doubtful whether from the
,,,,,,0,,t a. p.os '1ent received his wound the
vica prssidant did no, become legal President
ad interim, but although Mr.. Arshur was op-
posed to General Garfield in poll
tics, he made no step forward, and his fol
lowers put out no claim. 1t is extremely
doubtful whether Congress ought not to haYe
been called together to meet the emergency,
but though Americans eagerly seize every op-
portunity of political action, no step has been
taken to call together body, which, had 1t
met must have temporarily superseded the
wounded man. The resolution was to wait,
whatever the consequences, and the successful
waiting without trouble, collision or cat
astrophe, speaks volumes for the strength and
smooth working of American institutions
Recollect, it is king and premier, too who has
lain nearly dying for months, and still all has
advanced as before, and hint of substitute
would have called forth passionate indigna-
ton. II Gen. Garfield had been a hero or even
a tried man, a victorious President or Presi-
dent like Mr. Lincoln in his second term, the
scene would have been natural; but he was
new and as President, untried man, whom
half his own party hated as much as the oppo-
sition. The Difference paid to him is due sole
ly to his position, and to certain greatness OF
character revealed by his suffering itself; is
due in fact, to use a European term, to loyal
ty. That is a splendid omen for the
future of America, and for that OF
the Constitution, which, though only
written document, can, after q century
of trial, excite such passion of reverence for
