AWAITING THE ACTION AT CHICAGO.
L There is nothing new in the pos
litical horizon. The outbltrst against
the action of the Democratic. con
vention on the tariff question has
quieted down, but everywhere the
subject is mentioned one can see
that the feeling overwhelmingly
atcly after the meeting still exists
in its pristine strength, and needs
only the repetition at Chicago of
last weeks folly in Tennessee to. in
sure the heaviest bolt from the Ter
nessee Democracy that. has yet tak>
en- place. There is, however, an
expressed determination, to wait in
patience the assembling and Sdeclar-
alton of the national Democracy,
before casting the AirrevocabIe die

that of. the forty committeeman thir-

Friends of the new government
thought they saw in this far-sight4
