THE REPUBLICAN press Is essaylng
the vain task of proving that the Prcsi-
Dental ticket nominated last Friday at
Minneapolis is as popular as any other
that could have been selected, and that
it is already receiving the enthusiastic
support Of all the republican OF highol
low degree. But hat the task is not
only vain, but rid~iculousiy 50, is dem
onstrated by by the facts that Mr.. Pratt
says "Messrs. Depew and Hiscock will
now have an opportunity to carry New
York alone" and that Mr.. Clarkson
says the republicans will lose all the
doubtful States" The rout Of the re-
publican party next November would
be infinitely less disastrous TO Platt,
GARRISON, Quay, Wolcott, Teller, and
Others of that ilk. than the defeat OF
any democrat could possibly be, and
these who know them are convinced
that they viii not willingly add to their

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE Is. 1892.

Or TIE tw%cnty-four delegates Nir-
ginia will have nj Chicago, twelve are
said to be pledged to Mr.. Cleveland,
though one of them is on record as
having said it would be absurd to nom
mate a man Objectionable to the dele
gates from New York. 1t would be
well for them when they reach Chicago
TO remember the following from yester-
days New York Herald:
Can a candidate who Won in New
York eight years AGO only by a scratch
and was badly bca m four years later
be expected to carry the State this year
when a faction OF the party is against
him ? Is there any rcascn to believe
that the candidate who defeated by
Mr.. Harrison in 1883 by fifteen thou
sand votes will defeat Mr.. Harrison in
1899 =
As every body comedies that the
twenty-six votes of New York are es-
sentially requisite and necessary for
the election of any democratic cand;-
dale for the Presidency, and ms political
mistakes are considered to be crimes
by all nations, it seems that common
sense itself would oppose the renomina-
ton of Mr. Cleveland, and approve the
rctributivc justice that such fatuous
rccklessness would not only merit, but.
according to present lights, be almost
sure to receive.

POLITICAL.

Friends of Mr.. Cleveland in New
York yesterday gave out Il table of the
vote on first ballot in the Chicago con-
%vention, in which they say he will have
500 at least.
f. L. Antony, democrat, was ycstcr-
day elected ove Barber, third party
candidate, TO fill the uncXpired term OF
ex-Congressman, now Senator, Roger
@. Mills, of Texas.
The Arkansas democratic State con
vention met at Little Rock yesterday
and nominated q full State ticket, head
ed by VIM. NJ. Fishback for Governor.
Delegates to the national convention at
Chicago were elected. They are in
structed.
The Eighteenth, Tenth, Eleventh,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and First Ohio di:
tricts last night selected delegates to
the Chicago convention, and in but one,
the Sixteenth, were the Cleveland forces
triumphant. Hill secured every IL of
the other ten delegates.
Twenty thousand persons can be ac-
commodatcd with little crowding in the
wigwam constructed on the lake-front
for the use Of the national democratic
convention. This will probably be a
larger number than has ever been con-
gregatcd under one roof in modern
times.
A dispatch from New York says:
THE political situation, it is believed,
stands much this way German is to
aid Hill while the Senator's name is be-
fore the convention, and where he can
not throw the Senator q delegation he
will keep it from the Cleveland col
umns. When it is found that Hill can
not possibly win, and that his remain
ing longer before the convention as a
candidate may result in Cleveland's
nomination, Hill is to start the German
boom with - votes or Whereabouts for
the Marylander. In this way it is
thought that the necessity of Hills de-
feating Cleveland next November may
be removed and a candidate found who
can carry most of the doubtful States"
Gov. Hill, who returned to Washington
last night from New York, said to Il re-
porter Il am not going TO Chicago, nor
did I ever have the least intention ofso
doing

DOUBTLESS MEN may be found who
can collect as much campaign money
and disbursc it as effectively as Messrs.
Quay, Clarkson and Dudley, but that
it will be hard to find them goes with
out saying. That Mr.. Harrison will be
in great need of such men to pull him
through next November is equally us
true; but that is Il matter which con-
Germs him more than anybody else.

IN VIEW of what Mr.. John Wise
formerly said, and now says. ofsouthern
republicans, it is not at all wonderful
that Mr.. Harrison, by mean OF offices
received and promised, and Wall street
money, was enabled to gel the votes of
nearly all the southern delegates at the
Minneapolis convention, for, if what
Mr.. Wise says be true, no other dele
except suchhave come from the South
except such as + susceptible to the
influences referred to.

ACCORDING To the latest and most
conservative estimates, the amount to
be expended in pensions during the
coming fiscal year will be one hundred
and sixty million dollars. That sum will
about absorb the governments entire
receipts from customs, which receipts
are exactcd chiefly from the poor peo-
pie of the country by means of the
tarifrtaX on the n%ecessaries of life. If
the democratic branch of the present
Congress have not the patriotism and
courage, or sand, grit or backbone, as
it is yariously termed, to pass an in
come tax for the payment ofthe enor-
nous sum referred TO, so rs to relieve
the poor of the oppressive burden, and
put it upon the shoulders of those who
car easily bear it, the sufferers will
naturally be disposed TO remember
such delinquency at the next election.

Proceedings of Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June ID.
SENATE.

In presenting a petition from Riley
county, Kansas, in relation to the prey
alencc of lynch law, Mr.. PETER stated
that from newspaper reports, the prac-
tice was growing in all parts CT the
country-North, South, East and West.
Many poor pcople-particularly color
cd people were being bounded and
hunted and hanged or shot to death,
when merely suspected of crime. 1t
was time, he thought, for the Ameri-
can Congress to take action in that mat
ter and he hoped that the judiciary
committee to which the petition was
referred) would report promptly.
A conference was ordered on the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Merrill gave notice that he
would address the Senate on the sub
iect of silver tomorrow before all the
other side of the chamber shall have
left for Chicago"
The bill toprovidc forthe free coinage
of gold and silver was then taken up.
Mr.. Palmer moved to strike out all
of the bill except the first section which
fixes the standard of gold and silver
dollars, makes those coins legal tender
and permits owners of silver or gold
bullion to have it minted for their bene-
fit and without charge.
Mr.. Morgan addressed the Senate in
support of the bill. The silver plank
in the Minneapolis republican platform
was (he said) a step to the frontin the
way of IL restoration of silver Is a
money metal. 1t was still timid and
irrcsolutc, and dealt in equivocal
phrases. But it seemed to cut loose,
forever, from tho single gold standard
of the Senator from Ohio and to de-
mand the use of both gold and silver rs
standard money. The people had the
right. however, to expect that the de-
mocracy would, in Chicago, step to the
front and demand not only standard
silver money equal with gold, but that
silver should have the right of coinage.
If such a declaration were suppressed at
any mans bidding, that man would be,
in turn, suppressed at the bidding of
the people.
Referring to the proposition for an
international monetary conference Mr..
Morgan said that he did not attach
much importance to it.
In an allusion to the various candi-
dates for the presidency Mr.. Morgan
included among them ''thc dark horses,
the beaten horses, the handicapped
horses, the spawned horses, and the
colts"
