EvARTs' STARTLING PROPHECY.
Bob Lincoln the Mouse the Republic

when 10 Goes into Travail.

wAsnINGroN, April l. - Ex Secretary
Evayts, who watches with the keen percep-
tions of the statesman the varying stages
of pablc sentiment on affairs Of State as
we'll as of politics, ssid to-day There is
much force in the trite saying about his
tory repeating itself. As observe the cur.
rent OF public opinion as it crystalises
about this and that fsvorte for the Presl'
Dental nomination, ! revive in memory
some of the circumstances connected with
the nomination Of Abraham Lincoln. l

We went to Chicago to nominate VIM. h.
Seward for President. When We arrived
there we foucd a desperate contest was in
eyltable among the friends OF the rival can.
iidates. The extent and bitterness OF the
struggle it is not necessary to repeat. One
thing was very generally conceded and
that vas that Abraham Lincoln, OF Illinois,
was the choice of large majority for Vice
President. When il was found that the
principals in the contest had engen.
dered such bitter antagOniSms that no
compromise could be rascheG On any one
OF them, the name Vt Abraham Lincoln
was broYght forward rs the only way out
the campaign following his nomination
WAS one ST the most Enthusiastic known IN
our political history. AS | look at the
political situation at this moment, | am
struck with the probability OF a recurrence
of the same scenes and results New York
was in favor Of Detroit for the Convention
of 1860. IL was held Ia Chicago, as this
one Will be. There are five names nstur.
ally associated by influence, national repu'
tsllon and service with the nomination.
There is every Indication that the friends
OF the respective candidates will use every
endesvor to achieve success. Should they
get into a struggle such as usually fol-
low s in the wake of a long list Of aspirants,
II ere is every probability that Robert 7.
|. ncoln will be brought before the Conven-
uon for the first place and be carried
through. From present indication, he
will 60 to Chicago with sufficient follow

To be the Nominee Of the Chicago ConVen'
tion-PenRsylyana Republicans
Looking to Senator Ha"iey
as COMPROMISE.

WASHINGTON, April l.-Senator Bayafa
has at last submitted to the interviewer.
In speaking of Presidential candidates he
said:
"a number of people are talked about

tunate in coming from small State,
where we live like happy family witr
out any rings or party. machines. DeiE<
ware sends too small delegation TO the
convention to be recognized rs potent 1ac-
tor"
The Senator then, in an easy, modest
Tsy, further demonstrated the lmprooa-
bility Of his name being considered. de
would not do anything to influence any
one in his favor, and was proud and con-
tented in his present honorable position.
One of the most significant things SAID
by the Senator was in his commenting
upon the recent developments in the Star
Route investigations. He said he could
understand the indifference of the public
to what he considered remarkable disclo-
sures which were brought out from time TO
time. If the newspaper reports of the tes-
timony OF MacNeagh and James are correct,
be is et loss to understand the Presldents
apparent indifference to their statements,
Here are two prominent men OF high char
aC,er, ex.Cabinet members, VINO declare
uUon oath that they did not remain IN Mr.,
Arthur's Cabinet when he personally
rtuuestt d them to do so because they be
,ieved that the prosecutions would fail
through lack OF support from the admins
ration. This is a much graver charge
han was ever brought sgMnst the Star
Route people themselves. Nj. bayard
said that ii he had been the President ne
would have promptly sent special mess

ing the testimony and asking for thorough
inye stigatioh of the charges, nth request
that articles OF impeachment be found II

TsS entitled to an exoneration from, such

prised at the silence and indifference from
every Republican source upon this subject.

Platform.
WASHINGTON, April l.-Congressman-at-
Large Elliott, of Penr sylvania, was inter
rogated to-day in reference to his partys
attitude and probable action in the State
Convention. He seemed disposed to give
frank replies to the questions asked and
thought unnecessary stress had been laid
npon the factional differences OF the State
, oeracy. The condition of the party
hought was excellent, and the inter-
days between the present time and
date6i the u ention would wholly har-
monize the differences of leaders, il, in
deed, there were differences OF importance.
What tariff action do you expect the
convention TO take?"
well, l suppose what is known as the
Ohio tariff plank will be adopted. That is
true Democratic doctrine, fully indicative
OF the general spirit of the party, think"
You mean tariff for revenus with Incl
dental protection
Yes, and with the anti-monopoly clause
Of course"
And will the present tariff agitation in
Congress be censured?'
"Oh, no; think not. The party is large
enough for US all, and slaps OF that kind
against any sentiment for one would not
like to see"
What element OF the l'arty is likely to
control the convention"
don't think there will be any controll
ing influence that a legitimate and
thoroughly representative body should no.
lsve. Every Democratic leader OF our
Stsle is too thoroughly desirous for success
and too old and tried in the harness of the
party to breed dissen sions in an attempt
20 control the delegates of the people, as
re representatives to this convention will
be IN every sense"
"Wnl Instructions be passed for Ran
iall?"
Not likely. as Mr.. Kendall has repeated.
