TIE "sOrehead" who indulges in a little editorial writing in the Star this morning picks up the item of firing salutes" at cost of SCI, and takes the occasion to cast slur upon the action of W. A. Scott. member of the finance committee, who publicly offered to donate the powder, in the name of a powder company he represents, free of charge, which offer was accepted with thanks by the committee of the whole, but as Colonel Forsyth had consented to fire the salutes he proposed to fur nish the ammunition which he did, until it run cut. Mir. Scott then furnished FREE OF CHARGE, whatever powder was used after that. Also furnished man and team to haul it, and paid for what ever other expenses accrued in convey ing the powder to the artillery. Mir. Scotts "professed liberality," was genuine, and his hberality and patriotism are far above that of the "sorehead" who is making himself ridiculous in the attitude ot a dis gruatler.

NEW YORK Truth (Ind.): According to the authority of men who have seen NIT. Tilden within a comparatively re- cent period, there is no reason to refrain from placing hIm in nomination because Of his health. Chairman Barnum be- lieves him fully able to stand the straIn of a campaign. If this feeling is shared by the convention, his nomination will follow as a matter of course. It IS tue only question in the way, even Mir. Til- den's letter of withdrawal not being re- gsrded as conclusive if his health will possibly permit his acceptance.

SOME fellow has been raked up by the Bourbon Democracy of southern Illinois to say that General Logan raised a company at the breaking out Of the war for the purpose of joining the Confederates, expecting to do that grand old warrior serious damage. It IS the old story, flatly denied by the General himself and denied by his most intimate friends. The Chicago Inter Ocean long ago exposed the falsity of such charge. The fact that General Logan took his company into the Union army instead of the Confederate, is proof enough of his loyalty to all loyal men. Such charges are utterly without foundation

Gen. Chalmers says he will be elected next time by 5000 majority instead of 1,5O0. and that Mississippi's electoral vote will be cast for Blaine and Logan.

TIE members of the Democratic com mIttee on platform are Abraham Hewett a mild hammered protectianist-halt- and-half or perhaps nothing; Ber. r, Butler, anything to nominate Butler; J. H. Morton, of NeOraska, free trader; H. G. Davis, free trader; Maj. Burke, of Louisiana, a protectionist; W. R. Mor- rison, the father of the free trade hor- izontal bill; Henry Watterson, a free trader to the death; Geo. Converse, the man who beat Morrison's pet bill in congress. If these men can agree upon a platform then We may expect to see oil and water mix. How these men can agree, entertaining the views they do, claiming to be great leaders of a great party is one of the questions which a waiting public are anxiously looking forward to for solution. In the past 1t IS true the Democracy have had no trouble in changing positions to suit the occasion. and they may agree to Carter Harrison's plan: "thar taxation for protection is robbery, but if we say so in the platform we will lose two thirds Of the States, so it had not better be so declared, but, at the same time we can have our private opinions" How over. We believe that Morrison will stick to his principles. He has shown great courage in and cut of congress. He is superior 10 such men us Harrison. He IS honest and has the courage of his The Harrison school are dishonest and cowsrdly. Morrison ought to win. The Democratic party without a doubt, is in favor of free trade. but expedIency Is the watch word of the hour.

Cleveland Leader (Rep.): The so- called Independents have all the brassy impudence of his Satanic majesty. They first endeavored to rule the party with which they proiessed afiiliation, and when opposed by 5,OO0.OOO Re publicans, deserted the camp with their bag and baggage. They have any amount of presumption, and act as though they had . divine mission to regulate the political affairs of this entire country. As the Republicans refused to submit to their dictation, they are now busily engaged in instruct Ing the Democrats as to their duty ID making a Presidential nomination.

SEVERAL Democratic gentlemen met at the City Hall last evening for the purpose of preparing to ratlfy the nom ination of the Chicago nominee, whoever he may be. If it should be Ben Butler the enthusiasm in these parts will not be wild and unrestrained. His Honor, the Mayor, however, will enthuse largely. The Mayor claims to have brought out Benjamin as the man for the Democracy to elect Governor ot Massachusetts. It was several years ago. If Butler is the man, the Mayor will tell us all about it in 8 speech

MIR.

THE quarterly report of the Mayor of Tucson is given Tn full to our readers. today, for the purpose of affording every citizen an opportunity to become familiar with the condition of munici- pal affairs. The document will well re- pay n perusal, giving, as it does, sum- mary of the labors of the eity's officials, together with a review of its financial condition. From this report, there need be no fears of bankrupt treasury, and with the exercise of as much pru- dence and care in the future as has characterized the present admInistra- tion, there is no reason why very many necessary improvements may not be made and at the same time leave com fortable. cash balance at all times in the treasury. This hopeful condition of affairs is all the more gratifying in face of the recent financial difficulties, when Il was thought the city's affairs were hopelessly entangled, and it clearly ex- hibits the value of cool and calculat- ing person at the head of the municipal government. Regarding the rate of future taxation, tine Mayor thinks that more equable equalization of assessments would bring up the as- sessment roll and greatly reduce the rate of levy. There is no doubt bu; some tarpayers are unlustly assessed. and that others escape the payment of taxes upon considerable amounts of property. While such errors inevitably creep in, these discrepancies are not al- ways the result of oversight, and some proper remedy should be applied. As whole the document presents hopeful picture, and every citizen of Tucson has reason to rejoice at the prospect of so soon emerging from the threatened gloom of @ financial storm.

TELEGRAPH

CHICAGO, July 7.-The meeting of the New York delegation having failed to break the Cleveland column, the next move of his opponents was to smash the unit rule. It had already been decided by Kelly's followers that this should be attempted as last resort. When the motion to cast the 72 votes O, New York as a unit for Cleveland was put 1t was met by storm of objections and that the real fight was on John Kelly. Sen Rtor Grady and others threw themselves into the breach. They attacked Cleve- lands availability and intimated that a bolt might be forced upon them, but finally cooled down and said they did not mean it. Then they declared the unit rule was an injustice, and they would not be downed by 1t. For over two hours the exciting discussion was continued, and then the Tammany dele gates asked for an adjournment that they might have a chance to consult This was granted and a recess was taken. A few minutes after Senator Grady and General Spinola, after hurried talk with John Kelly, edged their way into Chairman MaunIng's private ! hlD. hutIG AOBk No1 held with a view to compromise, the differences. ThIs failed to result in an agreement. When the delegation re- assembled there was another and excit- ing discussion. In the meantime two votes had been gained for Cleveland and be now had 49 at his back. It was fin- ally agreed that the State should vote united, but the aDti-Cleve!and men in I l,nN kn w.1...N..n s.es l.a should be given the convention.

OPENING NOTES.

when the WOrkmen QultteQ the Dulld' ing and the scene was clear, the picture
 presented was majestic and truly so with
 its sitting of l4,0OO auditors. Every seat
 in the vast amphi:heatre appeared to be
 occupied, the audience having Its full
 quota of the fair portion of humanity
 in holiday attire. At II 30 the band of
 the First Illinois Regiment took a posi-.
 tion above the Speakers platform and
 burst forth with lively strains, which al. so proved the signal of the arrival of the first of the delegates, the Tennessee delegation lending the van. From that
 moment the crowd streamed in without ceasing until at noon, when the hall had its full complement of people.
 The breach in the ranks of the New
 NarE dalsGatinn as iniirated in these dispatches last night, IS being used as a very effective weapon by the opponents of MT. Cleveland, and there is everything to indicate that the leaning ofthe South ern delegates is toward Bayard or Me Donald.
 The Committee on Resolutions is gen erslly regarded as having a majority for conservative platform. It contains, however, extremists of both vices, and a member whose position has not been clearly defined. In any action of the committee there will be a majority and a minority report and it is now believed that the subject may have to be fought on the floor of the Convention.
 Another of the things which now ap- pear certain to occur Is a fight in open convention over the unit rule. Not withstanding the claims made by Tam many. portion of the Cleveland people declare they are ready for the contest and will defeat 1t by handsome major ity. The approach of the hour for as- sembling of the convention was marked by the arrival of delegates in large bodies and a great rush of people at the doorways which provoked confusion.
 The arrival of the California delegates, carrying a banner at their head, pro- yoked the nrst outburst of enthusiasm in the body of .ne audience. and the cheering wss hearty and prolonged. This held out until the familiar figure of Senator Thurman, of Ohio, was dis covered, when a cheer arose which swellef into a roar as the audience came to know the occasion of the applauding. While the excitement was at its highest. a California delegate addressed the chairman, who was not yet in his place. and said: "The California delegation after travelling 2,jO0 miles catches its first glimpse of paradise in the person of Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio"
 At l240, Chicago time, the conven- tion was called to order by ex-SenatOr Barnum, chairman of the National Democratic Committee. Prayer was offered by Rev. D. c. Marquis, of the Northwest Theological Seminary. He prayed for blessings on this great as- semblY of representative citizens; that they should be endowed plentifully with that wisdom, that nothing should be done through strife and vaIn jealousy. but that they should be filled with that charity which is not pulled up and does not behave itself unseemly. He prayed that their deliberations would be guided to such conclusions.
