EDMUNDs AND LINCOLN.

The New York Times has advices from
Albany, which is the centrifugal point of
New York Republican politics, that within
two OF three weeks marked change has
transpired upon the Presidential question,
Six weeks ago the Republicans were under
stood to be, at least, passively content to
witness the nomination Of Arthur. No one
else was much talked of, there was no COM
petition, no concentration in any other
quarter, and what work was done for any
one had been done in his behalf. If the con-
gressional district conventions had been then
held, possibly Arthur would have gained two
thirds of the delegates, at all events more
than half.
Latterly there has beda a good deal of dis
cussion of the Presidential question. Public
thought has been quickened. Recole ctions
hope has arisen that fhe party may be
the victors next November. Thus things
have turned the drift away from Arthur.
The sober second thought of the people is
against him.. Public sentiment from all
parts of the State as it reaches Albany is pro-
nounced against his nomination, for the
single reason that faith does not exist that he
can be elected.
If not Arthur, whom? The opposition to
Arthur, not unnaturally perhaps, gravitates
towards Edmunds, and as the
prospects Of the former dropped away, the
latter grew in favor, until now it is thought
the majority sentiment throughout the state
regards the Vermont Senator as the man
most likely to poll the largest vote in the
state. With Edmunds public thought asso-
eiates Lincoln, the secretary of war, for Vice
President, not from any inherent worth of
his own, but because he is the son of his
father, and in and of himself is negation,
a man, who if he never did foolish thing,
certainly never did a wise one.
This is the reported attitude of things in
the State of New York, and it will have great
effect throughout the country. While it may
mean and may actually bring about the de-
cay of the Arthur movement, it does not
ensure the nomination of Edmunds. Sher-
man and Logan are not out of the race, and
there is a probability, of greater or less
strength, that dark horse will secure
the prize, as was the case in
1880. The dark horse won
in 1876, and in 1880, why not in 1884?
Who may he be? If indications count for
anything the chances favor Blaine. One
thing is true, he has the largest following of
any Republican in the country, and he may
have friends enough at Chicago next
June to give him the nomination after 9TH
crs have failed. Things look little that
wav, but Blaine may get the old fever again,
and upset the whole prospect which drifting
has given him.

NEW YORK, March 4.-For some three
hours to-day there was lamentable feeling
in the camps of the bears; again have they
been required to pay tribute. The course OF
the market was upwards, from the COM
mencement Early kilograms from the coun-
try advise purchases of the Changers, and
Michigan Central was mentioned as likely
to advance. The improvement in these prop
critics proved contagious and by high neon
the bulls seemed to be holding miniature
carnival in about all of them. Louisville
& Nashville appeared as special favorite and
Delaware & Lackawanna was looking as
bright as the brightest These Improvements
caused free selling Of long stock in the clos
ing hour, which carried prices, in some cases,
below last evenings figures. There was but
little evidence, however, that the leaders have
changed front, by any means, and those who
are waiting anxiously for collapse were not
inclined to attack any particular stock, hav-
ing suffered so severly of late. The feeling
at the end was not at all weak. The reaction
is looked upon as natural and in all prob
ability will be followed by another advance
later on. Northwestern earnings during the
fourth week in February increased $1,000
and Alton 81 900; st. Paul decreased S14,-
600. 1t is reported that Union Pacific will
show net increase for the year from all
sources equal to Is per cent. on the capital

At the stock yards the receipts of cattle
were 1000, or about the same number as on
last Tuesday, but there is an increase of
about 1,500 so far this week Under the big
receipts of nearly 5000 yesterday the market
finally closed weak at 10@15c lower on little
cattle and about steady on big export cattle
The shipments show a falling off of about
1000 as compared with last week so far.
which shows as we stated yesterday that east
ern orders were limited. To-day the market
was rather slow and prices rather weak with
tendency to lower prices on dressed beef
and shipping cattle; at least that was the out
look when this report closed. Butchers

20@25c lower than the highest Saturday
last week Old common cows are also a
shade lower, but fat COWS and bulls remain
firm. Stockers and feeders are in fair de-
mend with supply light and prices steady
The receipts of hogs to-day were 10000 or
1000 to 1900 less than last Tuesday, and
for the week so far about 5000 less. The
market generally opened and ruled rather
weak, and in some instances common to
light and good packing grades sold 5@10c
lower than the close last evening, making the
decline 10@15c since yesterday morning.
The demand was mainly for medium and
heavy weights, light being neglected. Ar
mour had orders on the market and but for
that fact prices would have gone a good deal
lower.
There were 400 sheep received to-day,
against 9, 1876 Tuesday, making 1000 to s, 900
less than for the corresponding period last
year. The market was quiet and fair de-
mand existed at about steady prices, but it is
the light run only that saves prices from
dropping out of sight as the eastern markets
are glutted, shutting out the shipping de-
mand. The best are making $4,000; me-

ORGANIZING.
The Democratic Congressional
COmmitte Select all EX-
ecutive Branch.
The Tariff Democrats Overtop the
Revenue RefOrmers.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Democratic
congressional campaign committee, met at
the Arlington hotel, this evening, and organ
lied for the coming campaign. Senator Pen
dleton, chairman of the Democratic joint eau
Gus, presided, and representative Post, secre-
tary of the joint caucus, acted as secretary
of the meeting. Thirty states and
four territories are represented on the cam
paign committee, these being states and ter
ritories which send Democratic senators and
representatives to congress. Thirty. one mem
bers were present this evening, and the fol-
lowing executive committee was selectee:
On the part of the senate, Senators Gar
land, Kenna and German. On the part of
the house of representatives, Paige, Rose
Grams, Stocklager, Stevens and Murphy.
1t was decided that this executive commit
tee should be empoweRd to select the mem
bers of the campaign committee for the states
and territories not represented in either the
senate or the house by Democrats.
These states and territories are Colorado,
Kansas, Maine, Mimi, Vt, and Dakota, Idaho,
New Mexico and Washington. The other
business was transacted by the campaign
committee.
The executive committee met upon the adj
journment of the campaign committee and
organized by the election of Senator German
as chairman and Representative Post as sec
rotary. Senator Kenna and Representatives
Stevens and Stocklager were appointed a
subcommittee on finance and Senator Gar
land and Representatives Murphy and Paige
a. sub-com mittee, being ex-officio
members of both subcommittee.
The committee had an informal talk over
the arrangements to be made for the cam
paign, but did not enter into a discussion of
the question of party policy. The revenue
reform Democrats appear to be in the minor
ity. On the executive committee
Senator German and Senator
Kenna are both ''tariff'' Democrats
as are Representatives Paige and Stevens.
Representatives Stocklager and Murphy were
Carlisle men, and with Garland represent the
tariff reform element on the committee
Representative Rosecrans voted for Carlisle
for speaker, but is an incidental protection
ist, and endorses the Ohio tariff platform
The secretary of the committee is a tariff
Democrat. In the main, the committee is
composed of the younger element of the
party.

avery strong tone and drove the small army OF
bears into covering and enabling the cliques to
dispose of large supply of stock which the
fayorite method enabled them to do with ease,
but it was done largely at the expense OF forcing
the liquidation of the short interest, which was
keenly felt by the market on the continued sell
ing of long for the balance of the day, under the
influence Of which prices were found easy to
make inroads upon. At the time the gong

Mr.. Randall objected to the line of argument.
Continuing, Mr. Bedford said it was universally

Mr.. Randall again objected.
Mr.. Bedford replied, 'no wonder, you are

ued, have loaned themselves to a few leaders in
the north, who are leading them to ruin. Your

EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS.

The late cablegrams from Berlin have
good deal to say Of continental league,
which shall include central Europe and
whose purpose will be the outagonizing Of
England's policy of colonial extension. Even
France is invited to forget Waterloo, Sedan
and other little incidents in which Germany
had a hand, and join in this attempt to
scratch the English dragon. That such a
combination is possible, but not probable, at
the present, at least, is obvious
to the intelligent observer. The
English Entertainments has probably been
strengthened by the situation in Egypt,
whose outcome seems destined to be the pos
session of that province by the English, or at
least such hold on the administration of
that country that it will differ but little from
actual possession.
The Berlin newspaper which favors this
powers that propose to bell the English
cat. This, in case of the actual forma-
ton of the combin alton would force En- gland
and Russia into an alliance, but other papers
include Russia in the league, although it is
not at all likely that the diplomacy of Down
ing street would permit any such result. In
case Russia should be induced to unite with
central Europe, it is almost certain that
France might be induced to join her fortunes
with England, rather than with the others.
An alliance between these two powers
might be based on an agree
ment for the ratification of
the Rhenish frontier and promise of an
additional slice of the African borders of the
Mediterranean.
1t may be wicked, but there is not wheat
grower in this country who would fail to re-
gard a conflict of the kind as something
which would be likely to put money in his
purse.

CAPrAH HoAR and Mr.. Frye have returned
to Washington from their tea-party in Missis-
sippi. They are prepared to relate as highly
colored romance as the late Eliza Pinkston,
or the sweet Violet, John Sherman's latest
fame. The venerable Republican sinners
can talk in fables and relate ghost stories
that would make them famous if they were
not so clumsy and evidently vicious in con-
trivance and fact. These actually
report that they found reign
OF terror in Mississippi and
Louisiana and the shotgun terrorism prevail
ing everywhere. If these remarkable men
are to be credited the wonder is that they
went into that section and came away alive.
In order to make shure of truth-telling they
ought to parade few bullet holes in their
hats and their garments should be rent and
injuries pointed out that would entitle them
to pensions. But instead of any horror or
excitement they found everything peaceful
and serene, they Jared sumptuously,
and were everywhere treated
with consideration and cordially and
every facility afforded them to see the man
ners and customs Of the people. Men like
Hoar and Frye ought to be above this mani
fest rot and rubbish of partizans, who fear
the truth, and undertake to steer clear of It
by systematic, organized, misstatesments, in
nendo and the various arts of deception in
which they are deeply schooled.

Judge Waite was one of the most respect
ed citizens of the state. He served on the
bench as district judge from January, 1870,
to October, 1874, when he resigned to accept
the Democratic nomination for congress.
He was subsequently elected to the legisla-

Both as citizen and jurist he was highly
esteemed.
