pected to last very long What might
be the consequences that would follow
his death and that Of the new emperor,
it is impossible to foretell. Few men
have lived to witness such marvellous
changes rs those which transpired dur
ing the long life of the late emperor.
To say nothing of the wonderful devel-
opment and growth Of his own country,
he saw the beginning and astonishing
growth of ocean steam navigation, the
development of the great railway sys-
TENS of the world, the invention and
introduction of the telegraph and other
applications of electricity to the wants
of mankind. From the days of the
numbering old stage coach to the age of
steam transportation and instantaneous
communication is indeed a marvellous
change, yet it was all embraced within
the life of the late German ruler. The
people of the empire will have great
cause for rejoicing if the prosperity that
attended his reign shall be continued
during the administration of his sue
cessOrs.

DEMOCRATIC, so-called statesmen
profess to be willing To admit Dakota
into the Union-without division rs its
citizens have asked-provided some
democratic territory, either Montana or
New Mexico, be admitted rs an Offset.
The latest proposition is To admit four
states in pairs, Dakota and Washington,
republican, and Montana and New
Mexico, democratic. The question as
to which political party will dominate
in the affairs of state does not merit
the slightest consideration. If IA terri
tory is in n fit condition TO fulfill all the
duties of statehood, it should be admit
ted at the earliest practical date. Any
other doctrine is unjust To its citizens,
tyrannical i'm the extreme and deserves
the Reproduction of all good citizens. No
other party except the democratic party
ever practiced or tolerated it, and the
present attitude of the democratic house
toward the proposed state of Dakota is
but arelic of ante-bellum days, when
il was the policy of the democratic party
not to admit free state unless a slave
state could also be admitted To preserve
the balance of power. The sooner this
partisan idea is buried in well deserved
oblivion, the better il will be for the
country.

The scoring given the democratic
party by Senator INGALLS, in his speech
on the pension bill was well deserved
and marvelously well executed. But
the senator did himself no credit when
he went out of his way to east reflec-

His speech would have been much bet
ter and more acceptable, had he left
unsaid his remarks in reference to those
patriotic union generals.

IRENE Blaine boomers. such as
the Californians, for instance, are
indignant at Judge Thurston's remarks,
but the convention az a whole certainly
did not resent them. The verdict is
that the overwhelming sense of the con-
yention has been shown to be against
the Blaine business, except in the event
of hopeless deadlock and a turning to
the leader of 1884 naturally and by gen.
eral consent.
In the canvass that is going on out
side the convention hall, perhaps the
most significant feature as viewed this
evening, is the inability of Depew's
friends to make a serious impression
upon the convention. At the present
writing the nomination of Depew ap-
pears impossible. After this has been
demonstrated in the balloting Platt will
probably call away his forces, number
ing twenty or twenty five votes. Warner
Miller is expected to throw his votes to
Sherman. What Depew will do when
the moment comes for abandoning his
own canvass is one of the mysteries OF
the hour. An intimate friend of Depew's
said: ''If Depew cannot be nominated,
look to see him rise, and, in a theatrical
manner, throw his votes to Blaine"
Mr.. Depew himself will be placed
in nomination by Senator His
cock Just now one fact is
pretty well settled, and that is the NOM
ination of a soldier in one place or other.
This fact initiates much against Allison,
who otherwise is in good position. The
opposition of the Pacific states steadily
weakens Sherman. Just now Harrison
is in high favor. New England and New
Jersey are leaning toward him.
Phelps is almost certain to be named
for vice president if the nomination comes
West, and If Blaine or an Eastern man

ri-on combination. Warner Miller In
still inclined to Sherman, and If Depew
should join him the delegation would
split in two parts Of about equal strength
for Harrison and Sherman, with scatter
ing votes for other candidates, At the
same time Harrison is losing rather than
gaining. A large number of organized
laboring men from Indianapolis and
other cities are here, favoring Gresham.
The latter is now called "the tin pail
candidate"
Harrison campaigners made their first
mistake this morning. Up to this time
they had handled the situation in their
own state with great skill, though it has
all along been known to insiders that the
Indiana delegation, while apparently
solid for Harrison, has within 1t eight or
ten Gresham men. The Harrison man
ayers, by letting the Gresham delegates
alone and carefully avoiding all formal
controversies, had succeeded in con-
vincing the convention that the
state was solid for their man.
To-day they made the blunder of calling
the Indiana delegation together and at
tempting to pass a resolution to the
effect that Indiana should vote solid for
Harrison until the majority indicated a
wish to change to another candidate.
This resolution was received with much
disfavor, and it being apparent that the
Gresham men and the conservative dele
gates opposed to the unit rule were in
| the majority, the resolution was with
drawn. Thus by a blunder the Harrison
men have made it apparent that Indiana
| is not solid for Harrison, and the moral
victory, at least, is with the opposition.
| One Of the cards which Gresham mana
gers have been relying on is a break of
the Indiana vote, and if they should
spring this on the convention simultane-
ously with the change of Wisconsin
from Rusk to Gresham, it might start
| q stampede to the latter.
