The racket nesun.

The Democratic National Conven-
ton commenced its session at Chicago
on Tuesday, and the anxious, perspir-
ing patriots are struggling to select
standard bearer to lead the Democracy
to victory in the coming struggle.
Who it will be is problem the reader
can solve as well aswe. AT the pres-
ent writing the situation is clouded in
doubt and uncertainty. 1t seems very
certain that Mr.. Tilden will not be
nominated, dispatch having been
sent by him announcing his adherence
to the determination not to be a can
didate, as expressed in his letter of
declination. Gov. Cleveland seems
to have the largest following, but he
is encountering the bitter opposition
of John Kelley and the, Tammany
crowd. Everything is at sea, but an
anxious public will not have long to
wait to knew who will have the honor
to lead the Democratic hosts. So wait
patiently little longer. In the mean
time, let us hope that the proceedings
will he characterized by the spirit of
harmony, and that a ticket will be
nominated and q platform adopted that
will command the cordial and united
support of the Democracy of the whole
Union. 'as aS F#

lust ST. ,OS7, ,423. The bill now appro-
PIRATES $2l ,647, ,26O. or about million
and a quarter more than the cores
ponding bill passedb the Robesonian
Congress of two years ago.
The Senate has increased the House
River and Harbor bill by 81 1888, 600.
The bill now appropriates $l2, ,927 200,
or million and a-half more than any
other River and Harbor bill that ever
passed Congress, with the single ex-
ception of the great steal which upset
the Republican majority in the Forty
seventh Congress.
The Senate is trying to force the
House to agree to the appropriation for
the fraudclad monitors, that historic
swindle.
The House Committee on Appropri-
ations, against the advice of Mr.. Ran
dali, and by the ominous vote of eight
to seven, has agreed to report a Fort
and Fortification bill appropriating
So .O70,0OO. This is nearly ten times
the amount voted for the purpose by
the Forty-seventh Congress at its first
session, and more than three times the
amount of the most extravagant bill
of the sort passed during the last ter
years.
Thus million is piled on top of mil
lion. The game goes merrily on. The
reckoning comes later in the year.

EIlaine's Record.

James e. Blaine has record. By
his official record as made up by him
self while acting in an official capacity,
he is to be judged as to record he
would make as chief executive.
Daring Biaine's first congressional
term he proposed scheme by which
the first lien of the government on the
Pacific railroad, amounting to $780,
5000, was surrendered and was lost
to the government. This fraud upon
the government was exposed by Mr..
Washburn, of Illinois.
Blaine's dealings with Fisher con-
cerning Northern Pacific stock. in
which, by his own letters, it appears
he desired to transfer to him for S., 900
lot of fictitious stock of that road, is
another of those transactions which
Mr.. Phelps, in his frantic efforts to
clear MIR. Blaine, could not explain.
Blaine's Little Itock and Fort Smith
scheme, in which he prostituted his
position as Speaker to assist corpora
ton, receiving $32 600 first mortgage
bonds aud $13O, 900 in land grant bonds,
without paying anything himself, has
never been honored with an attempt
at explanation.
Blaine's arrangements with Mr.. Scott
by which that gentleman took from
Blaine $75, 900 worthless bonds, and to
relieve him, put them off upon the
Union Pacific road for $G4 900 cash
has never been explained by any Off.
Ger of that road, nor has it ever been
denied. This transaction is what turns
banker Harrison, of Indianapolis
against the Republican nomination.
Blaine's audacious effrOntery in de-
stroying the evidence against him, as
they existed in the Mulligan letters
pending a congressional investigation
was a virtual admission of the truth
of the charges against him, which, il
proved, would have resulted in his
expulsion from Congress.
In 1878 Blaine as member of the
Senate opposed the Thurman bill
which was to compel the subsidized
Pacific railroads to provide for paying
their debts to the government and was
the spokesman for the powerful lobby
to defeat the measure.
Blaine voted against the remOneti

the Forest City House last night, and
devoted the session to a discussion of
their duty with respect to politics.
Quite number either openly denounc.

third party. The Rev. J. NJ. Merrill
said that Christian people who wished
to have purity in politics would have
to take to the woods rather than vote
for Blaine. Some one remarked that
Blaine was COngregationalist,b but the
reply was that he was good member
OF the church only while at his home
in Augusta. The Rev. John G. Frazier
of Madison, in the district which Gar
field represented, said, the less said
about Logan the better. The Rev.
s. Strong. of Hudson, prOphecied de-
feat for the Republican party, and the
Rev. G.. l.. Hamlin, of COllinwood,
said that it would be better to vote for

THERE is nothing ambiguous in the
platform or position of the Democracy
of Ohio on the liquor question, The
State conventions last year and this
declared that the Democratic party
is and always has been opposed to
sumptuary legislation and unequal
taxation in any form, and is in favor
of the largest liberty of private conduct
consistent with the public welfare and
the rights of others, and of regulating
the liquor traffic and providing against
the evils resulting therefrom by ju.
dicious and properly graded license
system" Faithful to thisdeclaration,
the Legislature last Winter submitted
a constitutional amendment providing
for such license system, to vote of
the people at the earliest possible Pc
riod, leaving the question of the con-
stitutionality of the Scott law to I've
determined by the courts when prop
erly presented to them. The Supreme
Court has already decided one section
of the act null, and will doubtless hold
the same as to the tax section when
the same shall be presented to them,
and before then any such opinion
would be mere dictufn.

Bayard Being Doomed
THE SENATOR FROM DELAWARE IN
THE RACE FOR THE NoMINA-
TION AT CHICAGO.


There is at present an undercurrent
of feeling flowing towards Seantor
Thomas F. Bayard as an excellent can :
didate to pit against Mr.. Blaine. Wash
ington, the Mecca Of politicians, is
alive with the enthusiasm that pOr-
tends the great strength of the subject
of our illustration in the rank and file
of his party.
Thomas F. Bayard is a member of
one of the most famous families i'll
the State of Delaware. The first Amer
ican Bayard was Nicholas, a brother
in-law OF Governor Peter Stuyvesant.
and rigid Hugenot. The statesman
who now most conspicuously honors
the family, is one of several members
who have served their country with
distinction in the Federal Congress.
He was born October %, 1928, was
educated at the Flushing" School,
Wilmington, and as boy aspired to
become merchant. But with youth
came the more generous ambition
which has borne fruit in his popularity
to day. In 1851 Mr.. Bayard was ad-
mitted to the Bar. He opened an office
and in few years commanded re-
munerative practice. Up to 1869 he
steadily pursued his business as prac-
ticing lawyer, with but one break,
namely, in 1858, when he served for u
short time as United states District
Attorney. He succeeded his father as
United States Senator in 1869, and was
re-elected in 1875 and 1881. His posi-
ton is that of leader, due not only to
superior ability, but unassailable in
tegrity and honor. Senator Bayard
was staunch friend of the South
during the period of reconstruction d
"hard money" man when influential
men in both the leading political par
ties favored the payment of national
obligations on other than gold basis,
and member. of the minority in the
Electoral Commission. He stands in
as high a position before the country
today as any Democratic statesman,
and would certainly prove strong
candidate if nominated for the Presi-
dency. The lapse of time during the
canvass would increase his strength.

Mr.. BLAINE is applying the slave
drivers lash to such members of the
Republican party as it is possible for
him to terrorize and force into his sup.
port. The Washington correspondent
of the N. Y. Sun makes the statement
that immediately on his return to
Washington from visit to his father,
Mr.. Walker Blaine spent two days in
going through the departments, espe-
cially the Treasury and Interior. He
inquired if there were any persons in
the departments who were disposed to
kick, bolt or be lukewarm, and he was
told that there did not seem to be any
very great enthusiasm. When Mr..
Blaine asked for the names of the more
prominent officers in the departments
who were disaffected he was unable to
get them from the chiefs of bureaus
However, by diligent inquiry he was
able to make quite list, Those men
will either have to change their tactics
and simulate an enthusiasm they do
not feel, or they will have to go next
March, if Mr.. Blaine is elected.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The Presi-

Fitz John Porter bill, giving his rea
sons for not signing it. The President
obtained the opinion of Attorney Gen

army appointment whereas this is one
of the prerogatives of the President.
Congress had only the power to max e
rules for the government and regula-
tion of the land forces, etc. The AT

action of Congress in this case more
in the light of counsel.
General Slocum moved that the bill
be passed, the objection of the Presi-
dent to the contrary, Notwithstanding,
and on this motion demanded the pre-
vious question.
A vote by yeas and nays was taken
and the bill passed-l6S to IS. The
announcement of the vote was greeted
with continued cheering by the friends
of the measure, and with misses by its
opponents.
