An astonishing misstatement was made in
tho resolution adopted by tho Democratic Con?
vention regarding the admission of Dakota,
Montana, Washington and New-Mexico as
States. The resolution condemned " the course
of the Republican party in refusing Statehood
and self-government" to theso Territories. It
is well known by every one familiar with our
recent history that tho Republican party has
striven in vain to get justice done to Territories
that descne to be States?especially to Dakota.
Tho Spe-oial Grand Jury, who are charged
with eiaminiug excise cases, alleged election
frauds and reported " comb ines' in the Beard
of Aldermen, are not going to have an easy
time of it. They ure said to bo going through
the exciso cases at the rate of fifty a day, from
which it is easy to calculate that this branch
of their work will consume about four months.
Tho election and Aldermanic matters will thou
remaiu, and both demand thorough investiga?
tions. Theso special juror, aro to be com?
miserated, rather than envied.
" It all turned out just as it was planned."
This was Mr. William L. Scott's candid com?
ment on the work of the Democratic Conven?
tion just after the adjournment yesterday.
There apparently was a little danger of a hitch
once or twice, but any delegate* who showed
a desire to kick over the traces were quickly
reduced to order. Mr. Scott even conics..s
that the platform was adopted in tho precise |
shape in which it had received Mr. Cleveland's ',
approval. The opposition to Thurman, who
was eulogized in tho convention as a Cato i
aod a Gladstone, proved to Le of little strength; j
ninety-five vote* were recorded for Governor I
Gray, but the "Physical Wreck" managed to
get only thirty-two. The machine was in as
complete control as ever " Bossi" McLaughlin
was in a Brooklyn convention. Tho ,De?
mocracy has abandoned all claims ko inde?
pendence. It is ihe creature of the Dictator
iu the White House.
That Governor Hill should sign the bill
creating a Commission to revi.e and codify
the Excise laws of the State was to be ex?
pected. The suggestion for such a Commission
came from him, and his special message on the
subject was rightly considered as a subtle at?
tempt on his part to gain somo credit with
temi-e-raiioe reformers _. ai offset to .! ?
of tho High License bill, whieh ho had tb( |
determined on. But the Governor cannot
recoup himself ao easily. Ile hus taken up
his lot with the saloon interest and there he
most abide. The project of revising tho con
Aiding and contradictory Exciso laws and
making them harmonious and uniform ls, ho?
over, an excellent one. Tho work has long
needed to bo done. Thero is no reason to
doubt that the Commission, which is composed
of the Rev. Dr. Crosby. ex-Surrogate H. Ii,:.*.
ex-Attorney-Gen.ral O'Brien, James S. Smart,
Frederick Kruse, M. G. Thompson and Max J).
Stern, will perform its task in a thorough and
satisfactory manner._
TEE ISSUE MADE AT LAST.
Thia times, thanks to the Southern Briga?
diers. The country owes a debt of gratitude,
probably to them exclusively, and not to tho
President in this instance, for the explicit com?
mitment of the Democratic party to the cause
of free trade. In order to appreciate this, it
must be remembered that the Presidential
slave driver ha* an owner behind him. He
can crack his lash about the mutinous Demo?
crats as a master, but the Southern Free Traders
aro his masters. Other features of the St.
Louis pla'.form may be separately considered,
but the issue upon which the coming contest
will turn dosorves the first and most careful at?
tention. The evidence is not scanty nor doubt?
ful that the President had become alarmed, and
was willing to have his party attempt somo eva?
sion. But the Southern politicians, with more
practical wisdom, realized that the party had
been committed by his message and the Mills
bill beyond recovery, that evasion would only
weaken it, and therefore insisted that the Pres?
ident should rc<iuire, from his inslruments at
St. Louis, an express approval of tho message
and the pending bill.
At tho outset, the committee voted down Mr.
Watterson's proposition, and d-xuded by a vote
of 2 5 to 21 to report the tariff platform of 1884.
This Mr. Watterson had with truth denounced
as a disgraceful straddle; thero was, ho de?
clared, "no statesmanship in duplicity." Yet
the committee voted for duplicity, and?let thc
fact bo carefully noted?the imnu-diato in?
struments of the President, to whom his com?
mands go by private wiro, voted on that side.
A rocess followed. Of the character of influ?
ence:*, then employed, thc country m:iy lodge
from tho two dispatches sent by Mr. Breckin
iidge, of Kentucky, and Mr. Mc.Millin, of Ten?
nessee, declaring that "failure to indorse the
Mills bill may defeat it,'' and commanding,
" have the convention do its duty." Washing?
ton dispatches also show that tho active froo
trado members wont in hasto to tho Whito
House, with anxieiy and determination in their
faces. They knew that any cowardly aban?
donment of tho President and the Democratic
Representatives, after all that had happened,
would only make tho party contemptible be?
fore the country, but would not alter in thc least
the commitment of the candidate and thc party
to the principles of free trade.
Mr. Scott, the St. Louis end of the President's
private wire, at once had a long conference wilh
Mr. Gorman, the Senator whoso power with tho
President had been manifested in most dis?
graceful appointments. T&o .dispatches of
Southern Brigadiers to members of the commit?
tee were received. The committee reassembled
at its evening session, and then the majority
voted to declare tbat the President's message
was the " correct interpretation of the platform
of 1884," and to " indorse, the .efforts of our
Democratic Representatives in Congress to se?
cure a reduction of exoesaivo -taxation." The
efforts of Democratic Representatives ended in
a caucus resolution to press the Mills bill as a
party measure. The President's message in?
terpreted the straddle of 188. as a demand for
free wool and free raw ityat ^ri-dg generally,
with a heavy reduction in duties oh manufact?
ured products. In adopting this platform, tho
convention puts itself in accord with the can?
didate, and with more than nine-tenths of the
Democratic Representatives in Congress.
Having once taken tho plunge, tho conven?
tion went further. lu a separate resolution it
explicitly indorsed the Mills bill. In a well
written argument it presented the free-trade
theories more compactly aftd more forcibly
than tho President did in HUT message. The
pretence that thero must he a free-trade re?
vision or no rovision of the tariff, that lhere
can be no re mo tal of " unnecessary taxation'*
or lessening of the surplus revenue wit bunt
culling off duties protective in character, is
obviously fraudulent. Mr. Randall and other
Democrats have shown that (ho whole amount
of taxation that is needless can be removed
without touching a singlo duty protective in
nature or intent. But the convention deserves
credit and thanks for avowing, at last, the
doctrines which have really governed tho action
of the party for fifty years.
This is not an end of dishonest pretences.
The party in Northern States will pretend that
legislation on free-trade principles is iu this
case intended for moro effective protection.
Tho message will be interpreted as a plea for
protection, because it argues that labor will get
higher wages and manufacturers better profits
with lower duties. But that is precisely tho
free-trade theory, which may be found in every
document aud heard in every speech of tho
most ultra Froe Traders. Mr. Carlisle and
Mr. Mills argued that free wool aud low dirties
on woollens would ma ko wool manufacture
more prosperous, and at tho same timo give
the people cheaper woollen goods, asserting
thnt tho goods are now doubled in cost by tho
duty. In adopting these false theories, the
convention accepts tho direct issue between
Free Trade and Protection which the Presi?
dent has forced upon his party. If the Presi?
dent is right, free-trade theories and legislation
in accord with them will help industry. If
the Republican party is right, those theories
and such legislation will prostrate industry
and curse consumers. Un that i?sue the coun?
try will decide, and Oregon has decided
already.
Protection cf home industry does not mean
a saoriiice of many industries that one may
bo favored. It does not moan a sacriiico of
tho primary industries, in which the greater
number of persons are employed and by which
raw materials are produced, in order to secure
imaginary and unreal benefits to a few manu?
factures. It means, broadly and frankly, pro?
tection for American industry as a whole.
Mr. Cleveland proposes absolute free trade for
all wool growers, numbering one million, on
the falso theory that a man uf arturo employing
a quarter of a million persons will be beneiited.
Free trade believes that the few cannot be
helped except by abandoning the many to the
crushing influence of unrestrained foreign cora
p'ti lion. The President, his party in Congress,
and his party in convention, are on ono side.
Oregon is on tho other side, and every other
free State will also bo, if Chicago makes the
right answer to St. Louis.
STORIES EOR UARIXFS.
About two-thirds of the Democratic platform
is devoted to the tariff question. Tho rest
merits distinction as about the most marvellous
collocation of impudent untruths in political
history. Democracy, it assorts, means " indi*
toltil.lo Union"?which tho ruling end of tho
Democratic party fought four years to destroy.
It "challenges tho m**t searching scrutiny"
of the AdiJiiiiistiation, which every Doniocratic
Senator tried lo avoid by voting Ior secret
debate on lh'* Fii-herfos Treaty, as on many
other matters. It prates of " fidelity to
pledges," not ono of which remains unbroken.
It asserts, without any foundation, that nearly
100,000,000 acres of land have been reclaimed
from corporations and syndicates; the only
acts of ncti'.a! reclamation aro those in which
I Ivcpifblican Senate has shared. It asserts
that jus;ice rind equity have boen guarded in
(he payment of pensions to veterans of the
Mexican War, while pensions for dependant
veterans of thc Union Army have been vetoed.
It NMSfti tli;)t "thc equality of all citizens,
without regard to rare or color," has been
maintained by a party which has robbed a
million colored citizens of their franchises.
Nay, it even has tho audacity to say that
" honest reform in the Civil Service has been
inaugurated" by the President, who has mado
the very name of Civil Service Reform a by?
word and laughing-stock.
It is not easy to pack so many audacious
falsehoods into a single platform as may bo
found by any well-informed reader in the plat?
form adopted at St. Louis. All proof goes
for nothing, all argument is ^thrown away,
with men who are capable of placing before
the world with deliberation assertions so no?
toriously contrary to truth. Tor well-in?
formed and candid readers, of course, tho
platform is not intended. Its solo object is to
till the minds and mouths of thoso who aro
not well informed, and to servo as steering
orders, so to speak, for tho campaigners who
arc not candid._
MR. Til I RM A X'S XOMIXATIOX.
The mimina ion of Allon G. Thurman for
vice-President will not strengthen tho Dem?
ocratic ticket where it neods strength. It
kindles tho enthusiasm of old-fashioned Dem?
ocrats, but they would have voted and worked
for tho ticket in any case. Outside of his
own party, Mr. Thurman never has been found
a strong candidate. Ile would not have been
lenten and discarded years ago by the. Dem?
ocrats of Ohio if ho could havo commanded
even a moderate reinforcement from Inde?
pendent or Republican voters. Neither would he
have been pronounced by President Cleveland
too old for a placa in his Cabinet if he had
possessed, outside thc party or within it, such
strength as wild enthusiasts at St, Louis imag?
ined. He has been an upright, able and sincere
Dem..cint, always a strong partisan, always
of tho old Bourbon type, and never ready to
quarrel with his party, however gross its errors
or grave its heresies. Mr. Thurman knew that
tho si .ft-money repudiationists disgraced his
party and menaced tho public prosperity, but
he supported them all the same. So he con?
s' nts to help tho party now. though its present
organization in Ohio is made infamous by many
crim**s.
While Mr. Thurman's nomination does not
make Ohio doubtful, nor strengthen his party
in Eas'ern States whero his financial record is
not approved, it makes Indiana a hard State
for Democrats to carry. It opens there a bitter
personal sore, which will not speedily heal. It
WAS in downright earnest that tho Indiana
delegation warned the convention against the
choice suggested at Washington, and it may
well be doubted whether, in risking the fi't-ven
eleetonl votes of that State, Mr. Thurman's
nomination has gained half as much anywhere
else. It was hoped that his name would make
Democratic success possible in tho Pacific
--tates, by appealing to tho railroad-hating
Sentiment. But the tremendous Republican
victory in Oregon shows that no other question
is likely to be so potent in that section as the
question of protection for homo industries.
Thc nomination of a man so aged and
physically infirm ai Mr. Thurman, for a position
which calls for labors as wearying as thoso of
any Senator, and which carries with it tremen?
dous crntingent responsibilities, is not befitting :
indeed, it is hardly decorous. But Mr. Thur?
man's name gives dignity to the ticket. In
no harsh sense, but in strict exactness, it may
be laid to make the ticket moro respectable.
For there is no acquaintance of Mr. Thurman
who dues not realize that, if ho were President,
Mr. Garland would not bo in his Cabinet.
The age of the candidate for vice-President
will make the clinice of President more im
p<rtant, and thus will concentrate more of
public attention upon tho question of Mr.
Cleveland's fitness for a post in which he has
not asked Mr. Thurman's counsel, but ha?
re.*, aided Mr. Thurman's enemies and political
slayers. ________^________
non: vs. rj-ali/atios.
"Tia is not a hope, ho is a realization."
So remarked Advocate__Dougli<Tty in presenting
tho name of Mr. Cleveland to tho St. Louis
Convention. Yes, but what sort of a realiza?
tion? Thero arc realizations and realizations
?realizations that confirm ho po and realizations
that confound it. Tho. Duko of Wellington
was i realization after the battle of Waterloo,
and so was Napoleon. Oeneral Orant came
out of th-1 War a realization, and so did Jeffer?
son Davis. Hull I.'nn wu a realization, and
so was Appomattox Court House. Gray, of
Indiana, who was sat upon hard at St. Louis
is a realization, and so is Thurman, whose
horn and red bandanna wero exalted. To
ipeak of Mr. Cleveland simply as a realization
il to say nothing.
" He is not a hope, he is a realization." Yea,
verily, and the realization gives tho hope a
black eye. When this enterprising office?
holder in tho White House was merely a hope,
the Independents regarded him as an eminently
trustworthy and courageous Civil Sen-ice Re?
former. Now that he is a realization, they
confess that they wero grossly deceived in
their hopo of him. They have seen him ro.movo
good and faithful public servants simply be?
cause hungry Democrats demanded their
places. They have soon him at the beek of
his own greed for re-election tram plo under
foot his own order to federal office-holders.
They havo seen him lay pipe for a second term
after characterising thc eligibility of the Presi?
dent for re-election "a most serious danger"
ko the pul.lie weal. And seeing this, the- Inde?
pendents must havo had the conviction forced
upon thom that Cleveland the "realization')
convicted Cleveland the "hope" of being a
hollow mockery. ea
" Ho is not a hojir. he is a realization."
And the realization i, what will defeat him in
November. Mr. Cleveland has made shipwreck
of tho confidenco that was placed in him. Ho
has not PTOTOd better than his paity. As
" Harper's Weekly' lately was forced to admit,
ho has yielded to the pressure of the I).;
inocracy. And to yield to tho pre??uro of tho
Democracy is to become subservient to tho
spoilsmen, tho saloon-keepers and the Free
Traders. ?mmmmmmmmm-mmmm^mw.
THE GOVERXOR AXD TUE URIDGE RILL
The opposition to tho Bridge Reorganization
hill is confined in tho main to a few persons
who fear that the new trustees may sot aside
tho action of the present li. ard in regard to
increasing the railway facilities. The p|,m
adopted a few weeks ago provides only partial
and temporary relief, whilo the welfare of tho
travelling public doniands tho adoption (?f
somo comprehensive scheme, liko that proposed
by Mr. A. M. Wellington, which will laabla
the greatest possible benefit to be derived from
the millions invested by the two shits in Ihe
I'.ridge. Opposition to ibis can only be fi juted
on narrow a;id soll.sh giounds. With a Hoard
of Tru.*_t<*c*s possessing proper qualifications
fer their duties and a keen senfo of oeaeentmted
r-s.-onaihilitv. there would bethe beat cf reasons
f.r hoping for | liberal treatment of this im?
portant matter?a treatment commensurate
with the magnitude of the interests Involved.
This is ono of the pressing reasons why the
bill pilled a few weeks ago should become I
law. It is a reason which has become prom?
inent since the bill prepared by Mayor Chupin
WM sent to Albany; but in and of itself it
ought to be sufficient to convince the Governor
of the need of a reorganization of tho governing
body ol tho Bridge.
Tho numerous ether reasons why a chango
is not only d<*"urahlo but all-important, havo
been sot forth so often that repetition of them
would be wearisome, (.overnor Hill himself
rec of? ni zed tho forco of thom in 1885. If he
will refer to the memorandum which he filed
on June 13 of that year, sotting forth his
reasons for not approving the measure passed
by the Legislature then recently adjourned, ho
will seo that there is no excuse for a refusal
to sign tho present bill, which is free from tbo
objections that alone prevented his signaturo
to the bill which Mr. Stranahan and his asso?
ciates were desirous should become a law. The
situatinn in respect of thc need of a reform then
deemed essential has not changed. It has
rather become mero imperative. Taken in
connection with the recent ill-advised action
of tho trustees, it is plain frhat thero is only
one courso for tho Governor to pursue, unless
the narrowest and pettiest considerations con?
trol him. That is to sign tho bill.
"The J.cw-York Times"' has exuded lies so
long that mendacity has become its atmosphere,
through which alone its feeble glimmer reaches
thc outside world. This being the notorious fact,
it may seem to our readers unnecessary that we
should nail the particular fSJBtllOOfl in "Tho
Times" of yesterday, which sought to connect
with Tirr*. Tm nu ne ths indecent ttsat-lt upon
the President's private life now in general cir?
culation through tlie Demo<*rntic press. It is in?
deed nnnooossary; but for the pleasure of con
signin.. QtOTfS Jones once more to his own platt.
wo will merely say that William J. Kerry, described
by "Thc Times*1 as a reporter of The Tuirn.Ni:
nnd the author of the pnmphlct in question, has
for weeks past done no work for us, directly or
indirectly; thnt we have no moans of knowing
whether he is in St. Louis now or ever has been,
or, if he is there, what ho is there for. Ile lias
received no money from Tin; TnniCNK for weeks
pnst, and never nt any time, except for nows re?
ported exclusively for and published exclusively
in this paper. " The Times'1 jays that he wrote
tlie pamphlet which it is helping to make public.
We have no desire to injure Mr. Berry, even by
imagining thnt this is true, but we have no knowl?
edge on that point. From the positive assertion
in " The Times'1 that it is true, thc natural in?
ference is that it is false.
Everybody knows that ihe movement in bolrilf
of Thurman is a sentimental ono, pure and simple.
This sentiment was well hit o(T in an epigram
hy Senator ltiddlcbergcr, when asked yesterday
what he thought of tlie nomination for Viee
President. "Think?'1 ht answered. " Why, that
you have nominated a pocket-handkerchief.'' It
remains to be seen what sort of run a pocket
handkerchief will make in a Presidential canvass.
?
There probably was never denser ignorance on
any political subject than prevailed at St. Louis
respecting thc impoverishment and misery caused
by those dreadful " war taxes.'' The delegates as
a body apparently trembled with fear and de?
testation whenever the word " tarin"1 was men?
tioned. Not long ago a free-trade orator do liv?
ered an earne.it speech in a country town dwelling
npon the evils of Protection and nsserting with
vehement emphasis that the tariff endangered the
country and must, come down. Ile congratulated
himself upon deviling telling blows to the monster
of his imagination It is related that on the day
following this effort a kink and unkempt rustic,
currying an unusually long fowling-pioco, saun?
tered into his ofllce in thc adjacent village, and,
after making himself at home, went on to say:
" Mister, I beer tell of that critter yer call tlie
Tar-aft, and the great harm he is a-doin'. I just
thought I would call and mebbe you could tell
me where he could l>e found; for I've a sort of
?Makin' idee that nie an1 old Tom thar can (etch
him down if anything cnn."- Democratic ignorance
respecting the Nation's economic experiences is of
thc Mime dense character.

? The Commercial-Advertiser-1 yest -nlay after?
noon copied from " The Times" of yesterday morn?
ing, with conspicuous editorial reflections there?
upon, a malignant lie attempting to fix upon TilE
Titi bi NE the responsibility for a certain ptmphV-t
nbont tho I*resident's domestic life. Early in the
forenoon a reporter of " The Commereial-Adver
ti>fr" had called at this office mid bed been
explicitly told by authority that The Tiuiicne
had no knowlcdgo of or connection with the
authorship of that pamphlet, nenr or remote,
direct or indirect The reporter doubtless carried
this statement immediately to Mr. Parke Godwin,
tho Editor of " Thc Commercial-Advert scr."1
There is no escape, thoreforo, from the conclusion
that when, hours afterward. Mr. Parke Godwin
sent his pepe! to press, he knew that he was re?
peating, adopting and embracing a lie. A young
liar ought to be spanked; a middle-aged liar ought
lo be crushed; we leave it te "'Ibo I'mnmereial
Adver'iser'1 to say what ought, to be done with
an aged and Infirm liar. Perhaps he ought to bc
pitied.

form. " I believe,1' said Eugene, " in that Civil
Bst-ll-t reform which puts honest and c. nipotvtit

From Tho Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
To this end the party should choo*w. Its hutt moa
os a candidate, and by tho best should bo understood
the man tho country would consider the best equiped
In all respects for the office. Taking this view of tS
case. "The Commerelal-Gazette'' has favored the nomt,
nation of John Sherman. For over thirty years ba
has boen In nubile Ufo. His record is an open book.
There ls nothing In lt that will not bear tho clonal
scrutiny. It will not be claimed that he neves
changed his mind on leading questions. With tha
growth of tho country and changed condition, the
man that would stubbornly refuse, at all tl mea and
nuder all circumstances, to adopt a new policy in
regard to certain marten, would sacrifice tbe tint
(?lumen's of real statesmanship; bot tho great under?
lying elements of tho Kepubllcan party since itt
organization he hat conalftently adhered to. and aa
a consequence ho ls now the leader of that party in
the Cnlted States Senate snd In tho Nation. He ts a
platform In himself. No platform can tie made by
the Republican party that will not represent Sherman*.

GRESHAM SHOTS AT HARRISON
From The St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

second place for him on the ticket with blaine.
Tho proper -thing for Mn: to do, therefore, no* thal
Blaine ls unquestionably out of the race, ls to wltb.
draw In favor of General Gresham.
m.AINF, NOT AN IMPOSSIBILITT
From The K.lmlra Advertiser.
Mr. Blaine was never so strone with his party and
with tho country as the day his Parts letter waa
made public. It waa in accord with the -*ternal flu
ness of things that, In a contest to bo waifed 0n a
great Industrial qnestton, with Cleveland, the Free
Trader, concededlv thc Democratic nominee. Mr. Blaine
should be thc Republican standard bearer. The Paris
letter emphasized Blaine's determination, already e*.
ticr-K'..'., not to be a candidate and not to be nomt.
t..i.c.i. This letter docs not necessarily settle tip
question.

and his candidacy ls attracting more and more atten?
tion every day. We print In another part of thia

CAN NEW-YORK UNITE ON DEPEW 1
From The Albany Journal.
Wt urge, upon New-York State Republican, tha
Importance of uniting on Mr. Depew. should there
be any lack of harmony displayed by the New-Yorb
delegates their Influence at Mileage is lost. No oas
can weil doubt that Mr. Depew* can carry New-Yorb
State. New-Jersey and Connecticut will easily fail
In line If the protection Issue ls pre.-cl for Ita tull
value, and with a Western man for Vloe-Prestdsat i'm
great West and Northwest will c.i^t their traditionally
largo majorities for a ticket which should faithfully
express the Republicanism dat han swept the oountrj
In years past
DEPEW AND ALGER COMPARED,
From The Rochester Herald.
Whllo Mr. Iiepew ls a very clean man, and would
make an eloquent and excellent rand.date for Alger
to run with, there aro sumo reasons why he ls not the.
best and strongest man to head tho Republican tleliisc.
One of them he seems to understand pretty well, for ha
has frequently montloned lr, and that is the fact that
he Is a railroad man. This would not. hurt him In
the East, perhaps, and lt ought not to hurt him any*,
where, but lt probably would in the West.
GRESHAM'S BACKERS NOT ALL ANTI-BLAINK.
From The Chicago Tribune.
Somo of the oppouent. of Judge Gresham tn the
East have endeavoicd to make lt appear that his sup-,
porters In the West are as a rule antl-Blaine mea.
Nothing could bo further from tho truth.
A GOOD PROTECTIONIST SHOULD RUN WEX.L ?
THK SOUTH.
From Tho San Francisco Call.
Leaving Mr. Blaine out, the man ls not of io mneb
Importance a_s his rrcoid on the question* of tho day..
A Republican who represents the policy of protection
to American Industry as distinctly as Mr. Cleveland
ropreeeata tte opposite, should carry every Northern
Stato. Ilo should cany every (southern titato, too,
but. for tho fact that party lines in tho South are not
drawn ou the lorin que.Uoii.
THE WEST HAS A GOOD CHANCE.
Washington dispatch to The Pittsburg Times.
Ono of the shrewdest observers In Congress, whe
has himself been named In connection with the Repub?
lican Domination for tho Presidency this year, sala tos
day: "In my {ndfnent the candidate fur President
will come from tbe West, but he will be named by,
the East. I think it will be either Harrison or Alger.
It may be Harrison and either Levi P. Morton, ol
New York, or William Waller I'heips, of New-Jersey,
or lt may be Alger aud Phelps, and 1 thluk tho ticket
will bo elected.**
POSSIBLE COMPROMISE TICKETS.
Murat Halstead's New York letter to The Cincinnati

formal but important conference ls?and I sive lt not

the drift of those not deeply comuntied to Sherman,
Depew ar Oroshaa is ta Harrison, and that the name

The last rally of those who aro Irreconcilable with
