the party will take an indefensible attitude
on the tariff question.
Congress appears to be seriously intent
upon an early adjournment, and has made
fair progress in closing up the business of
the session. 1t is likely that it will adjourn
next week, getting the appropriation bills
through and accomplishing little besides.
The most important act of general legisla-
ton SO far this session is the shipping bill;
but that is substantially Republican mea-
sure, conceived, shaped, supported and
saved from mischievous amendment by the
Intelligence and vigilance of the Republican
minority. There is little chance of the pas
sage Of the bankruptcy bill or of any other o.
the many useful measures which the Repub-
lican Senate has matured and sent to the
| House where they lie, as it were entombed,
on the Speakers table. The great advan-
tage Of an early adjournment of Congress is
that it will prevent further exhibitions of
folly on the part of the majority of the lover
| branch. While these exhibitions might in-
ure to the advantage of the Republican party
in the elections, they are a constant menace
to the business interests of the country, and
the Republican party is in no need of furth-
er demonstration of Democratic incapacity.
During the past week the Republican par
ty has been getting itself into working order.

organization, one that means business from
the start, and our campaign will be estab-

The newspaper item stating that the city
of Louisville, Ky has no money in the
treasury and is heavily in debt, is, we are in
formed on high authority, a printers blum
der confusing the city of Louisville with the
Louisville and Nashville Rail Road. The
road is reported to be in a bad financial
plight. The city of Louisville has a smaller
net debt, relatively to her assessed valua-
ton, than any of the larger cities of the
United States, excepting Detroit and Boston.
The present financial policy will result in a
few years in the practical extinction of her
entire debt. Her sinking fund has $685.
621 in the treasury. The high credit of the
city is shown by the fact that within a few
months, syndicate of leading New York
bankers took an issue of $1.100,000, four
per cent bonds at nearly par and interest. AT
the same time the city sinking fund bought
100000 at par and interest.
The Portland daily press., 1884-06-30
The Situation.

A. the close of another week, the third
since the adjournment of the Republican con-
vention, the conditions of the campaign ap-
pear to have shaped themselves somewhat
more d stinctly. In the first place it is to be
remarked that there is no apparent growth
of the boiling sentiment in the Republican
party. The Boston boilers have opened
headquarters, the New York boilers have
appointed committee to set forth their
reasons for refusing to support the regular
nominations, and the New Haven boilers
have held a meeting, which was NOT very
large, although it was very positive in its
expression of dissent. These ate all the
pubic demonstrations Of this nature, we be-
lieve, and there is nothing in either that sig
niies any growth or development to add to
the importance of movement which was
probably more formidable on The 7th of June
than on the 9th. There is good reason to
believe that the number of those who doubt
ed on the day after the nominations whether
they would support the ticket and have now
concluded to do so, is larger than the num-
Der of those who have concluded not to 20
SO; and the first case of Republican who
liked the ticket but has been persuaded by
the arguments of the boilers that he ought
not to support it, is yet to be made known.
The Democratic party has made its prob
able course more clear. Several State con-
ventions of that party have afforded an OPP
portunity for the expression of opinion.
There are really now but three candidates
In the field for the Presidential nomination,
Cleveland, Bayard and Mcdonald, whose
chances are in the same order as they are
named. But it appears that Governor
Cleveland is not so popular as it was once
thought be would be. Elements of opposi-
ton to him are developed in several quar-
ters, and it is not certain that he will be
able to secure the favor of two-thirds of the
convention when 1t meets. Bayard has
many friends, but not much chance of sue
cess; and while it does not now seem that
Mcdonald has great strength, he is in such a
position that he may be able to gather in
supporters easier than either OF the others.
The Ohio convention was captured by the
enemies of the Payne-McL -BookWalter
combination and a declaration for Tilden
was secured which, while it means little as
to Tiden, means much as to Payne, proba-
by preventing the presentation of his name
at I'll. The Democratic position has become
clearer because the field of candidates is
more limited, and it seems more likely that

The story OF the Boston Post that Mr..
Blaine is, or thinks he is, afflicted with a
serious organic disease which may prove ia
tai at any moment, is rather too thin yarn
to deserve Sc iOus consideration. 1t is not
at all probable that the Post has any better
facilities for knowing Mr.. Blaine's thoughts
than his intimate friends and they have
heard nothing of the kind. The Post will
hardly succeed in frightening away any of
