CHICAGO, July 2l.-The Times this
morning publishes reports from over
nine hundred counties, in all portions of

the country and that there will be a full

ing the States of Texas, Florida and

A Washington special says there is a
good deal of opposition made among the
clerks to political assessments levied by
the Republican Congressional Commit
tee. 1t has been shown that if all these
assessments arc paid, the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars will be rea-
liked from the departments. There are
dark suspicious in the minds of many
about the use to which the large sums of
money collected are put. The collectors
are irresponsible and have no accounts
that can be inspected.
