THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
TO BE HELD IN CHICAGO,
On Tuesd ay y uly Sth 1854.
Special to the Wheeling Register.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Railroad
interests won the fight for Chicago.
On the informal ballot St. Louis was
but one behind her, but the eastern
vote went mainly to Chicago on the
first regular ballot, and New York
and New Jersey completed her victo-
ry GU the second. The result is gen
orally satisfactory as removing the
Convention from the imputation Of
being governed by Southern iuflu-
ences. The date of the convention
was compromised between the advo-
Gates of an early and late convention.
The resolution inviting delegates from
the Territories, with their admis-
sion made subject to the decision OF
the convention, was introduced by
Col. Alexander Campbell, Of West
Virginia, and carried after considera-
BILE opposition. Another resolution
asking the convention to empower a
committee to select a chairman out
side their own membership was con
strued to GUST Barnum, and after a
hot debate was postponed until the
meeting of the committee at Chicago,
where it adjourned to meet on July
7th, the day preceding the convention.
The following call was presented
by the Executive Committee and
agreed upon:

Don't Spill the Milk.

There is no use crying over spilled
milk, says the old saw. If you are not
only bald, but have no life in the roots
of yonr hair, there is no use crying over
that, either. Take both time and your
self by the forefock while there is a fore
lock left. Apply Parkers Hair Balsam
to your hair before matters get worse.
1t will arrest the falling of of your hair
and restore its original color, gloss and
softness. 1t is perfect dressing withal,
clean, richly perfamed, cools and heals
the scalp.

who Can Tell?
At no time in our national history
has the party controlling the Govern
ment been SO deserving of expulsion
as the Republicans are now. They
have been in power for nearly quar-
ter of century, and since the first
term of Gen. Grant they have con-
tinued to raise enormous and unnec-
essary sums of money by taxation,
and to dispose of it through innum-
cradle channels of extravaganza and
corruption. Rather than yield their
hold on the Government and its east
ly filled treasury, they have cheated
in the elections, actually reserving
the votes of the States after they had
been cast against them, as in the
Electoral Fraud Of 1876, or by pour
ing vast and irresistible corruption
funds into the doubtful States, as
in the case of Indiana in 1880
sums in great part extorted from
the employees of the Government by
the department chiefs, and distrib-
uted by the most tried and approved
agents of the corrupt Republican or
ganization. That organization has
proposed as it's candidates men prov
ed to be corrupt and unfit to be voted
for, until many unwavering mem
bcrs Of the party had come to re
gard the impending success of the
Democrats with satisfaction, since
nearly every conspicuous Republican
whose hold on politics could justify
the thought of making him the can
didate, was unworthy in himself or
so connected with some great piece
of rascality that even the stanchest
partisan looked upon his preferment
Will duAiCtJ.
Only year ago it seemed almost
certainty that the long career Of the
Republican party was nearly at an
end. In spite of the fact that it had
managed the Government for over
twenty years and was fortified by the
vast patronage which it had steadily
increased, the Democrats, who in
1851 could only carry the three
States of New Jersey, Delaware and
Kentucky, had grown so mighty and
SO menacing that scarcely a contin-
gency could be conceived of which
could prevent their carrying the
country and electing the President
in 1884. No folly or vacillation shown
while the Democracy was in minor
ity had been able to turn the rising
tide of opposition that threatened in
evitably to overthrow the Republicans
Through defeat and disagreement,
timidity and foolishness, the Demo
cratic idea had remained paramount,
and the party had retained its organ
ization and grown until the popular
majority has become Democratic.
States which had been formerly dis
puted, had passed over to the Demo
Gratis, and the Republicans were threat
ened in Others where formerly they
had been safe from opposition. Even
Massachusetts had elected a Demo-
cratic Governor, and the list of States
showed that the Democrats had elect
ed the Governor in twenty-five, and
the Republicans in twelve only. And,
besides that. in the last Congress
election, Secor Robson and his cor
I.rupt and subservient Republican ma
jority had been replaced by an ire
sistible majority of Democrats, who
assumed control of the House pledged
to reform the administration Of the
Government to the extent of their
power. The people are plainly gath
ering together to turn out the Repub-
licans. ~ z. Sun

be "A remarkable gathering. More than
thirty OF the great powers of the world
will send representatives, including the
Christian States of Europe, the Ottoman
possessions and Persia, while other
States of the further east have asked for
admission.
II was during the battle of Solferino
that Henri Durant, a Swiss gentleman,
saw not only the horrid front Of war, but
the pititul revelations of its rear. The

untold suffering, mao deep impress

results might be obtained In Octo-
