Political Sneaks.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Oct. II, 1876.
70 the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, IN writing to that paper . few days
since, says 1t Is reported here that many OF the
employees of the House OF Representatives are
endeayoring to impress upon the minds Of Dem
ocratic Congressman that they are and have al
ways been Democrats, in full sympathy with the
party. Nthese employees really are Democrats,
and we're known to Chief Doorkeeper Buxton as
such ct the time Of their appointment under him,
no one can blame them for endeavorIDg to obtain
the support and influence OF their Democratic
friends who will have the control Of the distribu-
tion Of the patronage Of the next House OF Repre-
seltatiyes. II, however, it be true these parties
are what they now claim to be they have lied
most UNANIMOUSLY to secure the positions they now
hold, SIS their written applications for Official IA
Tors viii show that they represented themselves
as Republicans In good Standing. Mr.. Buxton,
who has hlled the position OF chief doorkeeper Of
years, ought 70 be able TO throw some light upon
this matter. and enlIghten the public as 70 the
truth or falsity the statements OF the SRns cor
respondent Should the facts as they may be
developed show that these appointees, who now
claim to be Democrats, sneaked into thsr oosl-
lions disguised as reliable Republicans let their
names be published, so that there may be no dan
ger In the future of these political sneaks filling
positions under o Republican administration,
while true men OF the party who have labored
faithfully, and are not ashamed 70 publicly avoW
thar Republication, are kept ont In the cold.

at WIZARDS hall; w.. V. S. Wilson in the chair.
After the transaction OF routine business Mr..
Wilson called Mr.. ID. S. Blue to the chair, and
took the floor in favor OF the following resolu-
tion, which he offered as substitute for the one
already before the association on the same sub
ject, viz:
Resolved, That We cordially approve any action
of Congress and the Republican party tending to
do equal justice 10 all men, employers and en-
ployees, and that we depreciate any effort tend
Ing to widen the gap between capital and labor.
This resolution was unanimously adopted by
the executive committee, and It was directed that
II be offered in lieu Of the pending resolution
before the association in regard to the question
of compensation for the Government printers.
MT. Wilson subsequently read letter he had
received from the editor of the Somerset UnioniSt

Managing their Business in Their Own Way

To the Editor OF the National Republican,:
SIR: The communication in yesterday morn
ing's issue Of your valuable paper, signed "Anti-
Monopoly" may lead your many readers to infer
that all the plumbers in the city are associated in
the combination TO control Purchases and put up
prices and to correct such inference we wish 70
say that we have never Joined or eountenanced
the combination, choosing rather to manage our
own business in our own way.

The Centennial Buildings.

We print this morning an interesting
letter from Philadelphia giving an ac-
count Of the progress made thus lar by
the Centennial Commission. Our cor
respondent describes at length what
has been done in completing the build
ings. The main Exhibition Building,
which is longer than seven New YORK
city blocks, or, to makes the distance
more clear. as long as from Twenty-third
street to Thrtieth street, is tw0-thirds
flushed. This building is TO cost one
million six hundred thousand dollars.
Although the contract does not require
its completion before the lst OF January
we learn that it may be done within a
few weeks. Another building, known
as Machinery Hail, which will be one OF
the most important features OF the tx
hibition, is SO far advanced toward Its
completion that it will be ready next
month. The Art Gallery, or Memorial
Hall, is q permanent edifice, built by
The State of Pennsylvania, and will
cost million and Il halt dollars. 1t is
of granite, and will be great advan-
tage TO the city long alter the Exhibition
Is over. The Horticultural hail is also
to be permanent building, and will re-
main as an ornament to Fairm0unt
Park. We understand that a larger.
space will be given TO flowers aud fruits
than has ever been attempted at any
previous exhibition. Over thirty Ncres
OF the Park Will be devoted to the flower
chow, and applications have been re-
ceived from Belgium, France, Elglapd,
