been legally issued In the case of the
Illinois Central railroad Company vs..
County Collector, in which the company
objects to the tax levied upon the elevator,
the court decided IN favor of the latter,
holding that the elevator was properly sub
ject to taxation.
Judge Bross returned yesterday from
trip up the road-the Illinois Central.
On his way down he took particular pains
to note the disposition of those poor de-
luded fellows who affiliate with the Re-
publican party, over the nomination of
Blsine and Logan. He looked in vain for
any unusual demonstrations, and there was
very little interest shown by people in the
streets. The same may be said of Cairo
While all Republicans here express them
selves as satisfied there have been no EVIL
aencas among them of gen.
e's! hearty approval Of the
st:i2a Of the convention. But there! is
s good csuse for sill this, and that cause is

TIA; Is said 10 shape alike the lives of men
sai the affairs Of nations, and that has sus-
tanned and guided the Democratic party in
all these many years of its noble fight
against old BeelZebub and his minlons, has
at last grown weary of dallying and con-
cluded to tackle" the old fellow in his

words to that gigantic cohgomeration of

thus for shalt thou come and no further
Certain it is, that there is a strange peculi-
arity about the action Of the recent Chica-
go gathering, which bears every evidence
Of being a fatality against which the hosts
will struggle in yain--a predetermined or
der of defeat and dissolution. The fatality
is this: In 1860, the Republican party
nominated its candidate for President from
Illinois, and its candidate for Vice Presi-
don't from Maine. 1t gained its first VIC
tory. In 1884, at Chicago, it reversed this
order. taking its candidate for President
from Maine, and its candidate for Vice
President from Illinois. The result will
also be reversed. 1t is the finger Of fate
the party will be defeated, crushed, ami
hiisted and it feels this and is unable
to rise 10 self congratuation over the prep
arations for the fray. Ever since 1865,
when thai infamous reconstruction" period
was inaugurated, it has lived in q state OF
misery, haunted by the reCollections OF
its manifold and constantly multiplying
crimes against civilized society, against hu-
man and divine law; but the crime OF 1876
was the elimination, the sum total, of
all its political villainies, and sealed the
partys doom. Since that year, it has been
pursued by a spectre that never slept, and
that was omnipresent, the spirit of Presl.
dent Samuel J. Tilden, which, emerging
from its castle at Gramercy Park, lowered
over the party councils in every precinct in
the land, striking terror to the souls of the
leaders and demoraizing the ranks. To
them that spirit was and is the angel OF
death, causing their guilty souls to tremble
with the expectation of momentarily hear
ing the trumpet-signal summoning them
to their rewards in -; while to US
Democrats, it is the spirit Of leader, noble
brave, strong, ready to serve as the instru
ment of Providence, ready to obey the
voice of the people, which is the voice Of
God, and ready ana able to reclaim thc
country from the hands OF those who hold
it by fraud. The nomination of Tiden by
the Democrats on the 9Th of next month
will not fall like pail upon the country
as did thatof Blaine and Logan, but will be
the signal for such popular uprising as
has not been seen or heard for many u year
r and will be followed by series of Joyful
demonstrations in which the four and
, half million voters who were defrancised il
= 1876 will all be found crying for win
dcatoD.
