THE experts" who examined Hudson
 < Co.'S books, etc, Tn a few hours lime
 give the depositors 6i cents on the dol
 lars. With the interpretations aBd
 every effort brought to bear to destroy
 the value of securities, we are O. tLe
 opinion that the result shows fairly.
 Without question, every ndvsntage was
 taken of the situation. We are in-
 formed that an effort is being made to
 start bank in Tomb,tone. An offer
 has been made the assignee for the bank
 furniture at that place. We also learn
 that some of the Tombstone parties
 who have lookei into matters are buy
 ing up claims. No man engages in that
 kind of business except to make money: {:
 no man would do so unless he was con-
 vinced there was money m it. SuDpOse
 there was a combination on the part of few men to bear the stock of Hudson
 < Go, it would be reasonable to sup pose that every means would be em- ployed to frlghten the hol iers and bny the claims at low ii gure The whole effort, after showing up Hudson and sons share in their private accounts, is to impress the holder of claims that such are worthless; but their own fig Ires belle the statement. for in spite Of the effort to bear the claims. the figures show over 3 per cent in favor ot the depOsitOr. They find DO fault with Mir. Stiles as assignee, but from causes best known to themselves, they are anx ious for receiver. They have succeed ed in planting the seed of distFust among about one-seven h Of the num- Der of dep sitors aud will no doubt in- crease the number. It is only surprising that they have not succeeded better: appeals to passions and prejudices create a feeling easily controlled by passionate !! leaders. We believe it IS to the interest | of the depositors not to disturb the ss- signee; a receiver could do no better; and we claim that MT. Stiles is as honest | as any man they can select for rect iver, and fl they ask it he will give bond for the faithful discharge of his trust. I What more can be asked? We are talk | ing for the depositors. If the matter is left alone, and those interested parties are Hot encouraged in their bearing operations, we are of the opinion that iepositors will not only get the 6i cents the experts" give them. but tha. the Gs- signee in the end will do better. Moth ing can be gained by change; none Of those experts or committees have made t appear m the least that a receiver ,ould or would do better by the deposit DTS than the assignee can and will

THE Republican National Convention
 convened to-day. At the present writ ing We have no information of the pro-
 ceedings had to-day. Up to late hour last evening it was impossible to tell
 upon whose shoulders the Presidential
 mantle would fall. The situation. barr ing the bitterness, is very similar to that of four years ago. Blaine and Arthur are in the lead; neither has votes enough to make their position safe. They are good racers, but it Is feared inst good enough 70 be beaten by an un- known man. There IS great effort to boom somebody from Indiana. That State has two faYorite Sons, Gresham and Harrison. Harrison is really the choice of the delegation, but Gresham Is 'in' and Harrison is "out," which makes a great difference in times when political preference is determined. The fight between them is more likely to kill them both than otherwise. It is cer- tainly an interesting time. The whole country's eyes are turned Chicagoward to-day. It is time when all hearts are anxious. A mistake made may be ire parable when too late. The party never was In s better condition to make a strong, vigorous canvass If there is no mistake made in selecting the standard bearer. Tue ciyil-service. independent class, which is led ly such men as Rose | welt and George William Curtis, are per | haps the most outspoken and inclined | to insist upon MT. Edmuuds' nomina- tion. They are inclined, in order to | succeed with their candidate, to indulge | m predictions of disaster. but it is in | mild form, and no matter who is nomi- Dated out of the number named, these men will do their duty, no. so willingly, but it will be done. In politics many private notions must be lad aside for the good of the party and the country. Whatever the result is in Chicago. the party will take It up and carry it on to victory, we feel assured.

TIE bosses of the Democratic party ofArizona have decided that G. H. Oury and ". K. Meade shall represent the party at Chicago in the Democi Rtic National Convention. IL seems that the majority of the central committee is in favor of Phenix as the place for holding their Territorial convention. The ac- ton of sad committee is probably satisfactory to the majority of the com mittee, and perhaps 10 the party. It was complimentary to Mr. Oury; the gentleman. He is laid on the shelf. No better man could have been found in the Democratic ranks than MT. Meade for delegate. The Democrats as a whole are opposed to MT. Rowe's manner of conducting matters.

The Democrats fo-cel Seymour . to accept the nomination and they know the result and sD does Tilden, therefore. Tillen will not be governed by the clamor of his party and be defeated as Seymour was. Uncle Sam my Is too shrevd to allow himself to be sacrificed the second time. The Democrats are totally at sea over a candidate. Randall is their strongest man, but Morrison and Carlisle will never forgive Randall for killing the free trade bill. Carlisle IS inordenately ambitious and the honors may fall upon his shoulders. If the party is for free trade as freely as the Democratic Re presentatives in Congress were, Carlisle has the best chance.
