UNDER the head 'sWorse than Scandal, 7"
the New York Herald prints an editorial upon
the letter of Mr.. Hendricks TO his friend in
Dubuque. The Herald takes the same view
of the letter as did the journal. 1t says;
fSome ingenious person out West, presum-
ably Republican, attributes To- Mr. Hem
bricks letter on the subject of the Cleveland
story, which, probably, Mr.. Hendricks never
saw. Mr.. Hendricks, who has been reputed
to be man of good sense hitherto, should
have the benefit Of the doubt on this occasion.
If the missive is genuine, and was intended for
publication, it is the worst blunder of the
year, and shows that candidates for high Office
may be guilty of worse things than those that
lead to scandal"

him to the last moment. The necessity of
this united action, of hard and persevering
effort, makes it all the more essential that
there should be no embarrassment il the
candidate or the platform. 1t may be adj
mitted that Cleveland answers the definition
of good candidate, but there remains the
delicate question of the platform.
If the Randalites on the one hand, and
the free trade cranks on the other, insist on
the adoption of their ideas, there will be Il
crash, and most dangerous one. The
party cannot afford the least division of its
strength What is needed is that these eX
tremists should for the time be willing to
sink their views and meet somewhere on
middle ground and agree ON something
which will best answer the average demands
of the country Anything that will do this,
will suit the Democratic party and is good
enough platform to go before the country
with.
On such platform, any man who has
brains, fair record, a knowledge of political
and state affairs, and is conservative in
temperament can be elected by the Demo
cratic party. The contest as to men having
been as is believed settled, it remains to be
seen whether an ism will be forced into the
convention which will ruin its present fair
prospects.

Yesterday every train that ran into Chi
caro- brought some hundreds or thousands
more delegates and visitors, and this morn
ing the garden city is probably place with
nearly a million people. The crowd is said to
be terrific in all the principal hotels and ap-
proaches, and most extraordinary interest
is being manifested on all hands as the can
wasting of the delegations progresses.
The situation seems to have materially
changed in the course of yesterday. In the
morning everybody was more or less at
loss to know what to do and what would be
likely to be the outcome of the eeasless eau
eussing. consultations and eudeavors at
trading which were in operation i'll every d.
reetion. Much was believed TO depend on
the action which might be taken by the New
York delegation. for it was thought that in
ease the delegation favored Cleveland his
nomination was 4 foregone conclusion.
AS viii he seen 10y our copioHs specials
from Chicago, the New York delegation voted
tn act us unit and this is thought by most
people to give The nomination to Gov. Cleve-
land In fact. SO great appears to be the en-
thIlsiasm of this candidates supporters that
they feel certain that he will be nominated
by acclamation. The CLONE has already ex-
pressed its opinion of Cleveland a. candi-
date for the first place on the ticket. II he
should be nominated, and with tue nomina-
t:e,n should come guarantee from the war
riny Democratic factions in New York that
they MIll unitsdly work and vote for his cleo
tion then there would be n reasonable Ger
,aiaty that he would carry that state, and
secure his election.
While the country is to be congratulated
thst the convention is not likely t. be en-
harrassed sn the choice Of candidate by the
nvalrics of the New York democracy, ana
wlsile this may be considered a long step
towards pacific ending, there YET remains a
likelihood OF trouble on the tariff question
Il Is on this point that the convention may
meet with its greatest difficulty. There are
some extremists who will demand extreme
action, and this is precisely what Is not de-
manded by the Interests Of the party.
Il is well enough 10 depreciate Blaine, but

1t is not necessary before Minnefota au-

This is due largely to Wall street operations,
in which the gambling element prevails.
Oh course an unhealthy condition OF affairs

other. One party is enriched, the other is
made poor, the productive wealth of the
country is not increased, but trade is de-
pressed. ard uncertainty, doubt and fear
uervade all lines Of business. When specu-
latiye reaction sets in the business commun-
ity suffers.
The shrinkage of railroad stocks in Wall
street is something marvellous, and ought to
operate not only as instruction but warn
ing. Within the last three or four months the
stock known as the ''Vanderbilts" on
the Wall street market is said to have under
gone a shrinkage of $50, 900, 600; the
Clouds, 800, 900, 900; the ''Huntingdons'
$40. 600, COO In view Of these shrinkages, q
contemporary well says: "When through

are wiped out of existence, as it were; when

may well say the rich men are not so rich as
they were.
The lofty mountains Of these .vaunted Sc
euritics sink to the level of the plain. This
shrinkage is not confined to rail wood stocks
alone. There is correlation in all bust
ness interests, and when one branch suffers, all
feel corresponding depression. When such
vast shrinkages prevail is there absolute bust
ness health and prosperity! Is it not wise,
with this beacon light before us, to take in
sail, and to ''stand from under in time!"
