Representative Gaines, of the Petersburg dis
trict, Virginia, who has been at home for some
time, has returned and was in his seat in the
House this morning. Mr.. Gaines says the
defeat OF the republican municipal ticket in Pc
tersburg st the late election there was attribnta-
BILE chiefly 20 Lsngston, who had previously
threatened that unless he should be elected del
egate to the Chicago convention Petersburg would
20 democratic and Cleveland be reelected. This
threat Gaines scared all the other delegates
from Petersburg, except General Mahone into
voting for him, and that being elected, he with
drew his threat, but that the damage had then
been done, and that though Langston himself
voted the republican municipal ticket he could
not induce all his colored followers to do so. He
says that Langston has organized colored repub-
lican clubs throughout the district, with colorsd
women as presidents ofmany of them, but that such
proceedings have disguised the colored politicians
there, that The clubs are rapidly disorganizing
and that by The time of the Congressional con-
vention he thinks the opposition to his own re-
nomination Will be only nominal. He says that
endorsement of Governor Lee and his
of the old colored politicians of his dis-
trict, and his course at the normal colored school,
have made him unpopular with the colored voters.

years past that in thus kind of work 25
! cents are devoted TO the work in hand

The above from an exchange of recent
dnte explains the Senatorial idea OF re-

such surplus II il is going to worry the
lives ont of Statesmen" to reduce il
Could there be any possible way of reduc-
ing surplus that would be more equit-
able and just than the oldfashionetl,
simple method of reducing the rates OF
taxation and ways of securing revenue
when il is found that there is a surplus on
hand. The village council and township
authorities, when properly conducted,
adopt This method. Why should we not
have equally az great statesmen in the two
Houses OF Congress? il would scarcely be
practical TO return the surplus eluitably
TO the men who paid 1t into the treasury
but by cutting down the rate until the sur.
plusis exhausted the people from whom,
the surplus WAS raised will get the benefit
Just the same rs If it was returned to them
without interest. The statesmen who
attempts TO hoodwink the people upon
any other mode Of reducing the surplus
must he either knave or fool.

WHO WILL 1T BE?

This is the query this Saturday, the 9th
day OF the Chicago Convention, and the

We give below special from Chicago
to the New York Mail and Express
which gives general idea of how the
sloops and barges and scows are riding
the waves during the greater part of the
week:
CHICAGO June 90 (SpcciaD. The polit-
ical sea is rs choppy as New York bny
in n November gale. The old salts
aboard the yachts entered for the race
are ready for work. The Chauncey
Mitchell Depew is bobbing up and down
in the swell and seems to he not far
from the winning line. The dandy
SAILOR boys from the Empire State have
all sails set and every rope is firm aud
taut. The Sherman sloop is hopelessly
drifting. Those on shore can see the
signal of distress running up by the
Buckeye captain. The Alger cutter has
| struck lumber tow and all hands have
been ordered to the pumps. The ALI
son craft is leaking. A great hole has
been stove in the bow, and the water
is rushing in at u rate that threatens to
sink her. The Ghesham sloop has gone
to Davy Jones locker. Away out MS far
as the eye can reach tho Blaine craft
rises and falls in tho waves. Her rud-
der is lost. The tide is carrying her out
TO sea and the captain and crew are
struggling in the water. AS write tho
land lubbers predict that the Depcw
craft will win, but the currents arc
strong, the waves are dashing high aud
| there are many false beacon lights.

The value oi the veto power has ngain
been illustrated. During the closing days
of the session the Massachusetts Legis-
lature passed = bill giving $4,000 annu-
ally TO the State Flremen's Association
Gov. Ames vetoed il ON the correct ground
that "it is essentially a measure Of class
legislation, and IL, therefore, contrary to
the spirit of our Constitution and laws''
The objection only needed 10 be stated IN
this pointed way in order TO defeat the
measure, and the State was thus saved
from precedent which would inevitably
have caused trouble in the future. But

Governor of Ohio, did not possess the veto
power. the nriachief would have been ire

We have talked with several Repub-
licans within tho past two weeks, both
in Toledo and Pcrrysburg, not one of
whom but was free 10 admit that If
Senator Sherman was nominated he
would be defeated. Yet the entire del
egation from Ohio is solid for Sherman.

cans, or only the politicians who expect
to secure the control of the public Of

ed by the JOURNAL:
"John Sherman will not bc nominated
at Chicago for tho very good reason that
he cannot be elected If nominated, and
for the still better one that he ought
not to be.
The managers of the Republican party
are too wise to place at the head of the
ticket, at this time, the name OF man
who has been conspicuously wanting in
his attention to the interest of the SOL
dicrs Of the country
Who has been against the sentiment of
the business interests, especially of the
States of California, Nevada and Colo

| Who is n Wall street, bankers and
brokers' choice, and not the favorite of

Whose Pacific Railroad record would
blast all hope of carrying the full
strength of the Republican party IN any
State west of the Mississippi.
Whose advocacy Of changing the
standard silver dollar by increasing the
amount of metal. puts him in Inc with
the demonetizers of silver, and antago-
nistic to the views of the best elements
of the business community.
For these reasons. each ono of which
is enough of itself to defeat his election
at time like the present, he will and
ought not to be made the candidate of

The exigencies OF the times, from a
