Republican National Convention.

The Republican national convention meets
at Chicago on Tuesday next, and the Repub-
lican ticket and platform will soon be before
the people. Some of the prominent workers
are already at Chicago, and delegates and
others will pour in by the hundreds on every.
train TO- day and tomorrow. George f. Hoar,
of Massachusetts, is to be the temporary chair
the permanent. As to the nominees nothing
is known, and predictions are worthless.
Blaine and Arthur will be the strongest on
the first ballot, provided delegates carry out
their instructions; and there are delegates in
structed for Sherman, Edmunds, Logan and
Hawley. Both Blaine and Arthur men claim
the nomination of their favorites on the first
ballot, but the claims are only speculations.
There are many delegates who will go with
the candidate they believe to be the strongest,
as to be nthe strong side is their main object,
so that they can have claims on the admins
tration in the event of success. For this rea-
son it would appear that there will be no pro-
longed struggle, and the presence of this
element of mere spoIls hunters, so open 10
conviction for a price, will cause dissatisfac-
ton with the result of the balloting.
The antagonisms between the faction, as
heretofore alluded to in the ADVOCATE, has
become intensified, and the Republican party
will not present united front this year. No
pronounced Stalwart or Half Breed can carry
New York or Ohio, and there are few promi-
nent men in the Republican party that have
not to a greater or lesser degree become in
volved in the antagonisms between these fac
tions. Besides this, there are other causes
that will weaken the Republican party, and
the prospects of Democratic success in Nov,
ember is very encouraging. 1t looks as
though the Democrats will have Il certainty
this year, no matter who is nominated, and
with Tilden as the leader the triumph of
Democracy will be great and grand.

There was considerable talk on the Repub-
lican side of the United States Senate Mon
day on the subject of dark horses before the
Republican convention, and it was the gen
eral sentiment that the two most prominent
dark horses were Senators Sherman and
Hawey. One Republican Senator startled
his associates by his very positive assertion
that if Tilden should receive the Democratic
nomination it would not make the slightest
difference who the Republicans nominated,
that no one they could possibly put up would
hs able to beat him.

Our news columns this morning tell of more
bank suspensions and failures, and the arrests
of bank presidents, directors and paying
tellers. Strenuous efforts are being made to
re-establish credits, but there is feeling of
insecurity, and general panic would not be
surprising.

PLoT OF THE OPERA.


The Opera opens with a chorus of Grecians
going to worship at the Temple of Venus at
dawn-Ganymede declines to follow them,
preferring to sleep. His master, Pygmalion,
who has made beautiful statue of his ideal
Galatea, goes to the temple; in his absence
Midas, rich money lending art patron, calls,
and for bribe is shown the beautiful statue;
meanwhile Pygmalion returns and drives
Midas out. to his great disgust. In answer to
Pygmalion's prayer Venus gives life to the
statue, and Galatea falls in love with her
sculptor, the first man she sees. She soon
after sees Ganymede, however, and prefers
him on account of his youth and beauty.
Midas comes again, finds Galatea alive, and
woos her with presents and riches, which she
accepts, while she rejects the giver. Pygma-
lion discovers her intrigues with Midas and
finally with Ganymede, and in his despair
prays Venus to turn Galatea back to stone.
She again becomes statue, and is then sold
by Pygmalian to Midas.

Tammapy Hall Democrats had rousing
meeting on last Friday night, which was ad-
dressed by Senator Blackburn OF Kentucky,
Frank Hurd of Ohio, William Dorsheimer
of New York, and letters were read from
Congressman Morrison Of Illinois, and speaker
Carlisle. Whenever Tildep's name was men
toned the audience arose and lheered yooifar'
ously. The resolutions adopted closed ss
follows:
The seyerest blow ever delt at the liberties Of the
American citizen and the perpetuity of our repub-
ican institutions the theft of the Presidency by
the Republican party in 1876. That fraud will Tor
ever be a stain on our history as a people II can
never be effaeed; nor should it ever be pardoned.
1t was deadly thrust aimed at the life OF the re
public. An unconstitutional Commission. created
TO override the will of the people, accomplished It's
purpose by vote of to z. According TO the revea-
lions of President Garfield the army Of the United
States was concentrated in and around the capital
by order OF President Grant TO prevent the represen-
ttves of the people from elecng President in the
mode provided in the Constitution the rankest usur-
lion was consummated and the assassins OF self
government were severally rewarded out of the pub
lie Treasury and as yet the greatest fraud OF the
century has not been punished; 10 redress TINS

this end we ask the earnest cooperation Of every
Democrat and every American citizen,
The denunciati0n Of the electoral fraud was
received with applause, and, after the reading
of Congressman Morrison reference to Sam
uel j. 1ilden, the two thousand Democrats ln
the audience sprang to their feet and waved
their hats and cheered. The same enthusi,
asm was exhibited when Congressman Black
burn mentioned Mr.. Tilden's name.

LEGISLATIVE WORK.
Washington, February 10-More
than 4, 500 bills, most fthem of pri-
vate nature, have been introduced in
the house during the present session,
less than 300 of which aave been acted
upon by committees and reported to
the house. Tomorrow another oppor-
tunity will be offered to increase the
number of pending legislative meas
ures.
Randall will call up the naval APP
preparation bill on Tuesday, and it is
probable two days will be occupied in
its consideration.
The bill to prevent the spread of con-
tagious diseases am NJ cattle, 1t is eN-
pected, will ne brought before the
house for further discussion the latter
part of the week, and it is is barely
possible the shipping bill will also be
reached in committee of the whole by
Thursday.
In view of the formidable opposition
already manifested against the navy
bill. number interested IN its passage
are apprehensive that it Will not COM

The retirement of Gen. Alfred Pleas
anton as brigadergeneral will be
question to be considered next Fri
day, private bill day. IL Is
believed the bill will pass
without serious opposition, as the com
mittee in making its report recounted
the brilliant and effective service of
General Pleasanton in the Mexican
and civil war, and made n strong re-
port in favor of retirement with the
rank specified.
The committees of the house have a
number Of important measures on their
dockets for consideration this week.
The ways and means committee Will
hear the arguments of business men on
various phases OF the proposed tariff
legislation. 1t is believed by members
of the committee that Morrison's bill
will not be reported to the house for
| three or four weeks.
