Governments-Firm.
Stocks-The demand for railway bonds
continues largely beyond precedent and many
commission houses have heavy orders from
in vestors which cannot be filed and the de-
mand is not confined TO home investors, but
extends to foreign houses, who have large
orders for European account. To-day there
was an advance right through the list.
Bonds Improvement in some cases are very
marked. West shore firsts were q special
feature, the market advancing from 56A to
5Ssc on large sales three million three hun
dred thousand dollars changing hands on the
way up.
Stocks, after an irregular opening became
weak; prices declined to l per cent. The
weakness is due to the unfavorable advices
from the west, regarding the railway situation
there and after the first call was completed
q change in the temper of speculation and
the feeling of weakness gave way to one of
strength and almost buoyancy. The market
was also mora active and prices advanced
4@14c, with Pacific Mail, Western Union,
Union Pacific, G%rangers' and Gould's harrass
features in the afternoon. The market is
comparatively firm, but at the close the North
western fell off II to 117s, Union Pacific
declined I to 77s, and the st. Paul to 9lS.
Outside of these shares the decline was
merely fractional. 1t was flooded at times,
with a bearish rumor regarding the probable
action of the Northwestern pool. Steamers
for Europe to-day took out no gold OF
thirty leading stocks, fifteen closed higher
this evening than last night; II were lower
and 3 were unchanged.

The Party Still Lives and Will Live.

The papers that, Rachel like, mourn
and refuse to be comforted because of
Mr.. Tilden's purpose to keep out of
public life, should remember that one
swallow does not make summer, and
no more does one man make up the
Democratic party. Why then the
frantic declarations that Mr.. Tilden
must not, shall not, decline the nomi-
nation? The Democratic party has
reached a pretty pass when the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Tilden is essential TO Its
success. And hot to Mr.. Tilden alone
does this apply 1t may be said of any
man whose admirers persist in putting
him forward as Moses, the sole hope
of the party. There are a dozen or
more Democrats, any one of whom, on
sound platform, can carry the conn
try. Bayard, In THE GAzETrE's esti.
nation, Is perhaps pre-eminent for his
availability, but THE GAZETTE will
not despair, even II the choice does not
fall upon Mr.. Bayard. 1t is time this
grooming and moaning over Mr.. Tilden
were done with. To hear the Atlanta
Constitution, New York Truth, New
Orleans Times-Democrat and few
other papers talk one would conclude
the Democratic party is going to the
dogs unless Mr.. Tilden reconsider and
decide to accept nomination. We
can win with Bsyard and perhaps
without him. But certainly the Dem.
ocratic sun did not go down when Til.
den. pure and able man that he is
wrote and signed his now historical
| letter.

When state Democratic conyen-
ton meets II is easy to see where the
strength OF the party is located. The
counties that roll up the msjorities at
the biennial elections have representa-.
ton on the floor Of the convention pro.
portioned to their vote. When leg.
islature assemblies the rule Is reversed.
Sections, which, by virtue of their
population, are fairly entitled to GER
tain ratio Of representation on the
floor OF the legislature, do not enjoy
that which they should have. This Is
due, solely, to the existing apportion.
ment system, which gives a little
county In Southeastern Texas, fer ex-
ample, a representative, while two or
three counties In Northern or North
western Texas. each with more than
the population OF the little county
down In the Southeast, must rest con-
tent With but one representative be-
tween them. This is not equitable: It
IN not SOUND governmental policy; 1t IL
taxation without representation, and
the people are getting wearied Of il;
they are waking up to It's injustice.
The remedy lies In q semi-decennial
census, to be taken next year, and a re-
apportionment rs soon thereafter a.
practicable, which will be In 1887. In
state growing like this one there ia
no such thing as having an equitable
distribution OF representation where
one apportionment must stand for a
decade. The center of population

ing all the time, to the north, and yet

A Tariff for the People,

The competition of an acceptable
tariff plank will be one OF the most i'm
portant duties of the Democrats who
are to meet in Chicago on Tuesday and
select candidate and set out a decla-
ration of principles for the support of
the national party. A tariff plank to
be acceptable needs not to be weak
and ambiguous, susceptible of any in.
depreciation and declaratory upon no
point at issue. 1t needs to be pointed,
emphatic and capable of no miscon-
struction. The tariff Is to be the lead
ing question in the political discus
sions OF the campaign, and the coun-
try Will ask to know what the Demo-
cratic party means to do If given the
control of the government through the
next presidential administration. The
proper way to answer that question
is by a platform adopted by the party's
representatives proclaiming without
equivocation Just what may be ex.
pected as the policy of that party.
A great majority of the delegates
who will gather in Chicago next week
are impressed with the strong desire
of their party for reduction In tariff
duties. The people are willing to pay
tax for government revenue, but not
for the support of individuals. They
want the Democratic party to say tina,
IL VIII discountenance tariff robbery,
and limit customs duties to the de.
mands OF the government for reye-
nue.. The delegates from the Yves,
and South, and many from the East
know this feeling among their people,
But there are delegates representing
constituencies in Ohio and Pennsyl.
vania who favor protection. They
VIII hold out the threat that thei,
states will not vote the Democratic
ticket unless tariff declaration IL
adopted which they can approve. In
spite OF the fact that neither of these
states has given Democratic electoral
vote Tor thirty years and is not ex.
pected to do so this year, 1t is possible
that delegates representing revenue
reformers will be so worked upon
by the cry of 'conclliatIonu and
"e1pediency" AS to consent 10 the
adoption of tariff declaration which
small not represent the party, which
small promise nothing explicitly and
bind the party to no line OF action. n
thsy allow themselves to be so msnln.
ulsted It is better for the party to sav
nothing about the tariff, but pass II by
intilence and confess itself inconpe,en,
10 deal with that question.
The Republican party is high.tarl9
party, and believes In the principle OF
. high protective tariff. All who think
this Is best for the interests of tbs
country will vote for the Republican
candidates. The Democrats can gain
none Of their votes by promising half
the protection that the Republican,
propose to give. They can satisfy The |

Flattering Chances.

1.-THE nomination OF Coke for vice
PRESIDENT says the Galveston News,
would probably cause the elevation
of Barnett Gibbs to the chief executive
office OF the state" III Mr.. Gibbs ele-
walton to that position is dependent
upon the intervening incidents, he
should forfeit ambition right now,
Coke will have to be nominated for
vice-president, and when nominated
must be elected, 10 create vacancy
in the senate; Gov. Ireland will have
to be elected senator in his place; and
Mr.. Gibbs must have been elected
lieutenant governor when that latter
event occurs, to step into the govern
orship. BY the doctrine OF probabili-
ties, Senator Coke, IL there were only
one candidate besides himself for the
vice-presidency would have one
chance In two Of getting the nomina-
ton. His election, surprising his
strength and Logan's even, is again
one in two, and the occurrence Of both
these chances in his favor is as one In
four. Gov. Ireland's election to the
senate is another contingency, which,
adding another incident of chances,
increases the probabilities against MIR.
Gibbs to eight to one; and his own
election to the acknowledgements
ship being yet another chance, we fiud
that gentleman has one chance against
sixteen of being governor of Texas.
But let him not despair there may be
men in the state with less probabilities
than he of being governor.
