The Battle Commenced.


It is next to impossible to predict
who will be the nominee Of the Conyen-
ton which met in Chicago yesterday.
The Northern States will have the
nomination pretty much in their own
hands, the Southern delegates acting as
q sort OF balance wheel, to keep the Con-
Fention from doing anything rash.
IF the New York delegation can h.r-
monte their differences and it can be
made to appear that Cleseland win re.
ceive the hearty support Of all the Dem.
ocratic factions In that State, his nomi-
nation Is assured. But it will not satisfy
the Convention if il transpires that
a majority Of the delegates, which win
secure him the vote of his delegation
under the unit rule, if it be made to APP
pear that there is nevertheless a strong
and unyielding minority opposed this
nomination. 1t looks now as If the OPP
position to him in his own State will
continue to be stubborn.
Mr.. Bayard, who is the choice of a
majority of the Mississippi delegation, is
likewise the choice of a majority of the
delegates from the other Southern States,
but the chances for his nomination de-
pend entirely upon the strength he may
develop among the delegates from. the
Northern States, and this cannot be
known until Cleveland, Flower, Melon
aid and others have been disposed of.
Flower is already disposed of, as the
proceedings of the Convention when
they are had, will show. Payne is not
considered as possibility even.
Mr.. Randall, though much abused, has
some elements of strength not possessed
by any of the other candidates, and it is
not an impossibility that he may be
nominated, but if he should be it would
be a remarkable tribute to the loyalty of
the South to the Democratic party and
its nominees. 1t is known in Chicago
that the South subordinates the success
of any one idea to the all important
necessity of electinga Democratic Presi-
dent.
As to the platform, it is well under
stood that tariff reform will take the
place of a tariff for revenue only, as
being the embodiment of the desires
and the hopes of the conservative masses
of the country, and that if the Morrison
idea Of horizontal reduction be endorsed
at all, it will be endorsed as an attempt
to better that which is now so bad that
any change would be an improvement.
We have confidence that the Conyen-
ton will be governed by the wisest coun-
sells, and we are especially gratificd that
our delegates, being untramme!ed by in
struetions, are in situation to act ac-
eording to their best judgment, as formed
from survey of the field of action.

greeted with continued cheering. The
chairman OF the California delegation
secured the floor and said:

Both United States Senators are Repub-

by the Republicans that they carried the
State in 1888 because they elected Carr,

the above figures shows that the Democrats
elected all four of the other officers by
maiorities about a. large as Carrs's.
The phenomenal majority Of 1882 could
not be repeated OF course in 1883, for
Cleveland only received S07 votes more
than were cast for Hancock, while Folger's
vote was 213.O80 less than had been casf
for Garfield. There was nothing to keep
the Republicans Who take the trouble to
vote at State elections from the polls IN
1883, but nevertheless the State went DEM
