the burning building given. There
was even larger crowd around the
morgue this morning than yester-
day. The mass of people occupied
the sidewalk in front of the dead
house. There was a spirit of levity
perceptible. Permits two days old
were demanded from persons who
could satisfy officers they had lost
friends or relations by the fire. They
were allowed to enter from time to
time, passing the front door through
the room second on the hight, which
contained 30 bodies lying on the
floor. None were identified.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-A Washington
special says the decision sustaining
President Ferry on the JOINT Rule
question is considered a great step
towards solving the election compli-
cations, since the Republicans can
question one Missouri and one North
Carolina electoral vote on precisely
the same grounds as the Democrats
question the solid Republican re-
turn from Oregon. It is doubtful
if the Democrats will even allow
Cronin to appear and present his
return. 1t is authoritatively stated
that a telegram has been sent to
Gov. Tilden, urging him to repudi-
ate Growers action.
CHICAGO, Dec. T. Republicans

tee of bankers and merchants of New
York met yesterday at Delmonico's
and appointed Benjamin B. Sher-
man, of the Merchants Bank, treas
urer of the relief fund for the suf-
ferers by the Brooklyn fire. 1t was

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-At an in
terview held yesterday with public
men, they expressed themselves as
follows Senator Sargent said he
looked upon the situation as grave.
The Democrats are lashing them
selves to action, and trying to infu-
ence their followers, and they might
succeed in evoking general mob
movements if Hayes were declared
elected. If such declaration were
made to-day, it would be acquiesced
in. The Republican case is clear
and strong, but the present move
ments of the Democrats are calcu-
lated to increase a tumultuous
spirit of the ignorant masses, who
take their cue from leaders, and
have no individual or intelligent
ideas. The most serious blow to
the Democrats is that which has
been given in Oregon, where the
attempt to steal a vote was so OBJ.
