THOSE writers and papers who are claiming
that the mission OF the Republican party is
ended are simply like the ostrich that sticks
its head in the sand and thinks that its entire
body is invisible. The mistakes Of the Dem
ocratic party are many, and they have in the
past few years been most opportune for the
Republicans Divided into fierce factions on
the subject of the tariff, in the East and South,
they will find that the people will support
those men and those measures that promise
them the greatest freedom and the greatest
good. This is no figure Of speech, but a
living reality, and will have to be met fairly
and squarely in the campaign of 1884. The
parties are too evenly divided, and while the
Republicans have left much undone, yet the
Democratic party has given no assurance
that it will do better. The late decision Of
the Supreme court on the civil rights bill has
brought to the surface a most positive issue,
and while it will add to the natural strength
OF the Republicans, it can be made to effect
the entire administration Of three or four
Southern States, where, il the colored vote
is solid in its own interest it is sufficient to
elect its own ticket, even il every white vote
is cast against it. 1t is in the range OF posi-
bilities that sufficient electoral votes in the
South can be secured to elect a Republican

THE MARKETS.

CHICAGO, June S-Rodiger & Co s marke,
letter of this evening says Wheat has been
without any special feature to-day, having
moved within comparatively narrow limits
the extremes for July having been 81 125s
and 81 1875 The market maintains, how
ever, strong undertone based entirely
upon the confidence caused by the certainty
of very short crop of winter wheat, and it
is noticeable that during the last three days
each succeeding decline has stopped short of
the previous one, thus showing a gradual
hardening of prices. July sold on Wednes,
day at /. 1917 yesterday the reaction stopped
at 1121s, and to-day it stopped at 1925. The
old clique is apparently still trying
to hammer the market, but the wheat
is held SO firmly that all attempts
since last Monday have utterly failed. The
majority of the local dealers is identified
with the bear side, the inclination to sell
being intensified by the fact that our receipts
have OF late been larger, while there is an
utter absence ofany shipping demand The
present situation is actually fight between
the present and the future
