VI beH puCier, VINO has declared uncompromisino
hostll1ty to Cleveland, this work was successful
Editor Mcclure says that Cleveland and Patti
son were tldal wave governors in 1882, but that
botn nave disappointed the electors which, aided
Their election. Cleveland kept faith with the
people and offended the worst elements of the
Democratlc party in New York, while Pattison
Kept faith with the worst elements of his party
In Pennsylvania and offended the best elements
which contributed to his election.
1t seems as predicted by the GLOBES cores
pondent that Ben Buffers opinions may carry
great weight.
HOW THE DELEGATIONS STAND.
information received at Washington regarding
some OF the delegations elected to the Chicago
convention goes to show that more is claimed
Tor Cleveland than he is entitled to- The Mis-
sour1 delegation was reported in press dispatches
to be practically solid for Cleveland, but it turns
out that Senator Bayard has some strong friends
IN IT, One OF the delegates at large is relative
and devoted friend of the Delaware senator.
Another OF the delegates at large is for Field
Ihe South Carolina delegation is put
down for Cleveland, yet it is
headed by Senator Hampton, an ardent
supporter OF Bayard. 1t is said most Of the
South Carolina delegates are for Bayard, The
mississippi delegation comprises some Bayard
men, but the truth about all the southern delega-
tlons is that they are going to the convention en-
tlrely undecided who they will support. They
Will subordinate any preferences they may have
to the party good, and be governed by the advice
OF delegates from the north.
WHAT NEW YORK PAPERS SAY.
The organ of the Anti-monopolists IN New
York, called Justice, declared to-day that Cleye-
land will be bitterly opposed by their party and
as they control nearly 100000 votes in New York
state, public men here say it is clear Cleveland
could not receive the independent vote IN New
York if nominated. This would give the state to
the Republicans and be fatal to Democratic sue
cess.
The New York World, heretofore strongly ad-
vocatlng Cleveland, calls a halt to-day and ad-
mlts that the opposition of Irish Catholic and la
| Dor magazines are matters for serious considera-
ton. After enumerating the possibilities of
various candidates the World says: ssTilden
may yet be nominated by acclamation. The
statesmen, although unwilling to serve his party
may in crisis, possibly be yet impelled to save
his party
The iSue declares that New York will have no
I candidate to present to the conventonr All this
has setthe president makers agog. For the
| first time since the Republican ticket was nomi-
mated at Chicago, political debate was precipi-
tated in the house this afternoon, springing out
OF the consideration of pension bill, in which
railroad land grant forfeitures played promi-
pent part.
There was more Tilden talk to-day than ever,
and many eyes are turned toward Grammercy
park in hope that Tilden can be induced to accept
the nomination.
THE ADJOURNMENT.
The slow progress made for the last several
days in congress has had the effect of dampening
the hope of adiourning by the end of next week.
Mr.. Randall of the house and Messrs Beck and
Daniels Of the senate committee on appropria-
tions still believe in adjournment on the 5th
prox. There is some fear on the house side that
split In the house appropriation committee
over the fortifcation bill and likelihood of de-
rangement betwe en- the two houses upon sundry
civil bills which passed the house so rapidly will
render an adjournment on the 5th impossible
Large numbers of members, however, say
they are bound to adjourn by the 5th, even if
some of the appropriations have to be bridged
over until they can meet again. Members of
both houses are get ting very tired and the prob
ability is they will not let any political squabbles
keep them here.
Horr, of Michigan, will make political speech
on the fertilization bill which will probably pro-
woke replies from number of Democrats, but
the debate will not last more than day or two.
PRINTING STAMPS.
Quite commotion is made over the discovery
that the sundry civil appropriation BILL as passed
by the house, provides that the commissioner of
internal revenue, in lieu of having internal reve-
nue. stamps printed as heretofore in the bureau of
engraving and printing, must advertise for bids
and give the work out by contract, if it can be
done ;heaper. Should this be accomplished it
would cause the discharge of some 500 employees
and leave idle the machinery plant owned by the
government causing great distress. The Demo-
Gratis on the committee say they believe the work
should be done at less expense, and that this &C
tion ,sas taken with view to reducing expendi-
tures. If private individuals, furnishing their
own plant, can do the work cheaper than at the
bureau, it is time that the nonsense of the gov
ern1nent's trying to do its own work should stop.
LETTER CARRIERS
REPRESENTATIVE Davis, of ILL.,, appeared before
the senate appropriation committee to-day to
urge the appropriation of 100000 in the sundry
civil bill to pay for substitutes for letter carriers
during their leave of absence. The house voted
to grant them leave but neglected to make the
necessary appropriations.
THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
The resolution offered by Senator Pend1eton
directing the secretary of war to collate the
varions laws under which the signal service
bureau is conducted and to report the status of
the chief signal officer and propriety of retaining
that burean under supervision of the war depart
mentis admitted to be matter of grave importance.
Originally the signal service bureau was placed
under the direct control of the secretary of war,
but under the manipulation of Gen. Myer and
Capt Howgate, legislation was obtained from
time to time in surreptitious manner by which
it became almost independent and by this means
Howgate accomplished his defalcation Its use
fulness has been seriously impaired by arrogant
mis1nanagement and it should be overhauled
