THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

At this writing, Wednesday morn
ing, the country, and even the dele
gates themselves, are as much at sea
as to the outcome Of the Republican
National Convention at Chicago, as
they we're week ago.
Sherman will be far in the lead oi
any individual candidate on the first
ballot, but will lack hundred votes
of nomination. His full strength
will be developed on the first or sec.
ond ballot, unless nominated, when his
strength will wane. Depew, Harrison,
Alger, Gresham, Allison, Phelps, Fit.
Ter, and Hawley will follow in about
the order named, if present indica.
tions 60 for anything.
The Convention was called to order
by Chairman Jones yesterday at IL
o'clock, and the election of John NJ.
Thurston of Nebraska as temporary
Chairman quickly followed. All the
necessary committees we're then ap.
pointed, after which the convention
adjourned until IL o'clock to-day to
give the committees ample time to
make their reports. The convention
will hardly reach ballot to-day, and
the afternoon will most likely be
taken up by the nominating speeches.
The strongest imaginable undercur.
rent in favor of Blaine is prevalent
everywhere, and while his friends are
doing everything in their power to keep
it smothered, it will burst forth on the
slightest reference to his name, and il
would not be surprising to hear that
after number of unsuccessful ballots
a tidal wave in his favor would sweep
the convention, and his nomination be
made by acclamation. In such an
event it is believed Harrison of Indi
ana would be the nominee for Vice
President. And what a splendid tick.
ct that would make!
AT all events nomination will moi
likely be reached before tomorrow
and whoever it may be, it will be &C,
ceptable to the Republicans every
where, and upon the strong protection
platform which will be adopted, will
sweep the North from Maine to Cali.

EMPEROR FREDERICK of Germany
is no more. The disease of his throat,
which for months has held him at the
point of death, eliminated in his de.

o'clock. The new Emperor William
II, is now at the head of the German
Empire. All the world mourns with
the German people in the loss of their
idolized King, and the lamentations
that fill the Empire to day are not
because of any loss to him, but be.
cause of Germany's loss of him. Sell

THE Pittsburgh Times, in speaking
of the Oregon election, says; "The
Republican majority in Oregon
whenever there has been any at all
has ranged from 500 to $500. The
majority of last weeks election will be
between 1000 and 5000; it may be
even greater. The voters took the
Presidents message and the Mills bill
to guide them in their action. There
was no other than the tariff question
thought of. Oregon is a wool and
cattle State and the people were clear
in their minds as are those OF other
States whose interests are similarly
touched by the Presidents message
and Mills bill, the former of which has
been made part Of the Democratic
platform, while the latter was ap
proved by the convention that noni
mated him, for passage by Congress
There is no escaping the issue, no sid'
track, no substitute for the free tradI
proposals by Cleveland formulated il
the Mills bill on the tariff question
The veters of Oregon understood i
and voted accordingly. As a sigl
showing what public opinion is, tn
Oregon election is Of the first impor
lance"

THE Louisville Courier Journal,
discussing the treatment which Amer.
leans receive abroad, says, "the whole
warp and woof of English society,
politics and journalism are hostile to
America and Americans" Our es.
teemed contemporary evidently be.
lieves the English ought to be coddled
and conciliated, and that as a means
of doing so we should give them free
entry and control of American mar
kets for their manufactures. This il
the sort of concilistion one may wiz
by inviting ones enemy to put hi
foot on ones neck.

THE Hon. Samuel j. Randall very
clearly defines his position on the Free
Trade issue in the single remark that
he is Opposed to favoring a foreign
country at the expense of our own"
That is good, sound doctrine certainly,
and its enunciation suggests this
query: How long does Mr.. Randall,
who opposes enrichiug foreign coun-
tries at the expense of our own, pro.
pose to cooperate with the political
party which is boastfully in favor Of
that very policy!

TIE condition of General Sheridan
has improved somewhat during the
past week, and his physicians think
his life may be prolonged for some
time yet, although his health is SO
shattered that he will never again be
able to sit in bis saddle. The people
will rejoice TO know that brave Little
Phil. is to be spared to them at Least
for brief season

WHEREVER there is an American
flag there is the Republican campaign
banner this year. Voters die for it,
women Sigh for it and children cry for
it. And it is going to wave over an
American victory this year.

TIN PLATE costs 1913 a box to
make in the United States and $3.05
a box in England, difference of 6S
per cent, which is probably the reason
why the Democratic majority in the
House has wiped out present and fu.
ture tin;plate manufacture by remov.
ing the present duty of half this dis
parity in the cost of manufacture.

The Democrats have adopted a
stronger Free Trade platform than
they have ever had before. The Re.

strongest Protectionist platform they
ever have had.

THE Democrats are credited with
having spent not less than s45, 900 in
Oregon during the recent campaign.
If the report is correct they would
have done better to save the money
for use in Texas and Kentucky.

HENRY GEORGE courageously urges
the Democrats to stick to their Free
Trade platform and fight the battle
on that line, but if he expects them to
do anything of the kind he doesn't
know the party he is talking to. They
have begun to dodge and run already.

The Free Trade party has never
nominated ticket which commanded
such hearty, unanimous support from
