THE CHICAGO NOMINEES.


While We are not a Democrat,
and having no appreciation or
sympathy with The Democratic
party, which composed the late
Democratic Convention at Chica-
go, nevertheless. we have a right
to criticize its action, its platform
and its nominees. Grover Cleve-
land the present Governor of the
State of New York was month";
ated as President and Thos, A.
Hendricks as Vice-President.
These nominees of the Chicago
Democratic Convention by its
platform, do not express the
Democratic sentiment of the
American people. The distin-
gushing difference between the
two political factions is the tariff
que stion. There was in the Chi.
cago Convention an element in
both factions who favored both a
protective tariff and free trade.
The tide and wave of the nomi-
nees will be watched with inter-
est. The names Of James. q.
Blaine and John A. Logan will
for the next three months be
watched with more than usual
interest. They are men of an
unsullied character and an express
sion of the very embodiment of
the American people. These are
men who suffered for our country
in our country's peril, while men,
as such nominees of the Chicago
Dem. Convention remained silent.
The proceedings, as we have
read, of the late Chicago Conven-
ton, while Republican, Demon
strate one fact, that the "Great
Roman" Allan G. Thurman was
voted to remain at horne. TIL is
was unworthy of that so-caIled
great party of Democracy to
ignore Judge Thurman. Repnb-
licans and Democrats have depre
Gated the result, in the failure to
nominate Thurman, who could
have carried many doubtful
States. The distinguished posi-
tons, which these two men,
Cleveland and Hendricks now
hold, with all their democracy,
will never convince the Ameri-
can people that they are the pro-
per ones to succeed in the admin
lstration of the affairs of our
Government. The time has not
yet come when such Democrats
shall control free Romans. They
must come forward unsulIied and
untarnished, and then Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Hendricks, we will
share with you the responsible
ties OF the administration of our
Republic. You must come to the
front and leave behind all your
recollections of the past, and as
devoted and good Americans, in
the language of John A. Logan,
"Stand by the Republic, in the
Republics cause" Will any
Republican or Democrat faiter in
response of this kind? The Re-
publican party is still strong in its
faith as ever; it has always been
faithful to its principles and doc
trines and will yet ia its sea of
time, be triumphant again and
guarantee the elimination of it's
every pledge,as il has successfully
done in the past. The desertion to
the party of such men as Geo. w.
curtis of Harper's Weekly de.
tract not one jot to the Republi-
can cause. for a renegade to a
principle is gain to nothing.
The great Republican press of the
country stilllives to carry through
the triumphant banner of Blaine
and Logan. 4

ball Players Injuries.
b.In ,y.I,,I sx. fu,,,,o,


Base ball players seem moro liable to
injury than those engaged in all other
athletic sports combined, What with be-
ing struck with "foul" tips, hit by the
pitcher, running the danger of sprained
ankles in sliding to the bases, and being
Spiked" by their opponents their lot il
not happy one. Then there is the
danger Of wrenching and spraining the
arm in throwing or pitching, and the
risk of broken fingers in stopping hot
Timers" and ground hit balls. The
Philadelphia and Athletic clubs have
probably suffered more from injuries this
season than any four clubs in the country.
Pitchers are the most subject to injury,
but the Sore arm" dodge is invariably
worked after they have been batted
hard.
The high-arm pitch adopted by the
National league has already crippled some
of its best pitchers. Ward, of New York,
gave out early in May; Coleman, of the
Philadelphia, stood the strain for a
month, and will not be able to twirl the
sphere with anything like his old effective
ness this season. Sweeney, of Provi-
dence, and Whitney, of Boston, probably
the most effective pitchers in the country,
are the latest to go upon tho retired list.
Sweeney's arm has given out. and the
trouble Ia similar to that which affected
Mccormick, of Cleveland, last season.
Whitney's tremendous speed has not only
told on his arm but on his constitution,
and he was advised by his physician that
rest was absolutely necessary.

Bismarok's War Levy on Paris.

A story which was told of certain i'm
portant diplomatic services rendered by
the latter nobleman at critical moment
during tho Franco German war reminded
Paince Bismarck of an episode connected
with the same event which has never yet
appeared in print. "After the capitula-
tion Of Paris" remarked the chancellor,
II met M. Theirs on the staircase at Yer.
sailles, and said, 4 quite forgot to claim
any war contribution from Paris. think

thunderstruok, and wanted to evade
giving me any reply ct that mo-
ment. But, accompanying him, l

we had reached the foot of the staircase
we had agreed that the indemnity to be
paid by tho city of Paris should DO

but the Paris contribution somehow found
its way into the military chest, and that,
of course, never returns anything. had

to apply the Paris contribution in the

tho cautious man makes his book: "The
horse which is conceded to DO the iavorite
for any particular stake Is made the pivot
upon which all calculations rest. If
$4,000 be set apart for n book upon any
one event, it is the policy of the book
maker-the layer of the odds--nover to
allow the amount laid upon the favorito
to exceed tho sum invested on all tho
others. If $1,000 be laid against the
favorito, the odds on the others must DO
so arranged that the remaining 5000 is
laid upon all the Others. Tho book is
then full, and the layer closes It,"

Cenentiug the Union.

Nearly year ago a number Of gentle
men in Richmond, Virginia, who were
Southern soldiers during the war between
the States. organized a benevolent ass0-
citation. which they gave the name Of II.
E.Lee Camp No. l. Confederate Veterans"
Since that time other camps have been
organized in different places. The r. E.
Lee Camp proposes in February TO mold a
fair for the benefit OF disabled, intrm and
INDECENT soldiers Of the lost cause. The
undertaking is noble one, and similar
movement ought to be set on foot in every
Southern community and made perma-
nent institution as long as there is any
living who have a claim on such bounty.
Commenting on this organization. the
Philadelphia Press, generally one OF the
most rabid of the Republican newspapers
in regard to nything Southern, says: Few
things can do more to unite the North
and South than prompt and generous as
sistance from the North in behalf of OBJ
jeets like this. The wounded veterans OF
the nation are provided for from its
overlooking treasury. Private beneyO-
lence. both North and South. ought not to
be invoked in vain in favor of the Con-
federate veterans who risked all they had
and lost it. The Lincoln Post No. IL,
Grand Army of the Republic, has already
sent a contribution. There are few better
uses 10 which the funds of posts can be
put than in cementing the Union they
saved
The lighting men Of both armies have
long since laid down their arms, and
shown every token Of mutual respect and
good fellowship. The few petty politi-
clans and suffers and fanatics on each
side who try to perpetuate sectional strife
are now losing their influence, and only
occasionally some Republican journal
rises up to say that the South is on the eve
Of new rebellion, and is pensioning Con-
federate soldiers.

The Mexican treaty is defeated. The
Senate yesterday refused TO ratify it. All
the work Of negotiating it has gone for
nothing. What the reasons were which
controlled the Senate our dispatches do
not state. No doubt the sugar planting
interests Of Louisiana brought strong
influence to bear against it. It Will, per
hans, be a long while before another COM
mercial treaty will be negotiated with
Mexico. 1t was hoped by the friends OF
the treaty that it would prove an opening
wedge that would eventually give this
country control of the Mexican trade.
That trade Is now almost wholly in the
possession Of England, France and
Germany. and those countries will do their
utmost to hold it. The treaty. 1t Is true,
was not exactly what this country want
ed. but its scope would eventually have
been enlarged. 50 that Mexico would have
become a great market for our manufac-
tured goods.
