A OonfarenOe Of RepublIcann.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
Between twenty and thirty Republican
Congressman met at the residence Of
Secretary Sherman Friday evening by
appointment, TO talk over matters of
concern to the party. An attempt was
made to keep the gathering from the
press, but it has leaked out. 1t was
deemed inadvisable to have formal
caucus, but Secretary Sherman desired
to talk with some of the members who
arc known not to be in harmony with the
President on matters of policy, in order
position the President desired to occupy
toward his party, and dissolve any mis-
understanding that might exist in their
minds.
The gathering was more social than
otherwise, and was marked with the best
feeling and harmony throughout. Sec
retary Sherman had called to his assist
ance Messrs. Jacob d. Cox, Monroe, Gar
field and Foster, Of Ohio, and others who
are understood to be in the confidence of
the President, and they assisted in the
Interpretation of the Presidents views.
There were present Messrs. Hale and
Frye of Maine; Hendee of Vermont; Gen.
Butler, Crspo and Banks of Massachu-
sets; Townsend, Lapham, and James of
New York; Everett and White of Penn
sylvania; Garfield, Cox, Monroe, Foster,
and Townsend of Ohio; Hunter, Brown,
Baker, and Calkins of Indiana; Aldrich,
Cannon, Burchard, and Lsthrop of Illi-
nois; Conger and Hubbell of Michigan;
Williams, Hazelton, and Pound of Wis
consin; Price and others of Iowa; Dun
nell and Strait of Minnesota.
Secretary Sherman is said to have given
his Interpretation of the Presidents
civil-service order, which is modified
greatly from the original understanding,
and office holders can now feel at liberty
to take an active interest in political
campaigns, in case they do not abuse
their patronage and their official posi-
tions. In the large cities only, it was ex-
planned that the order was intended to
be strictly applied. There is some fear
among the Presidents friends that the
Democrats will try to introduce a resolu-
ton indorsing President Hayes, which
will stampede many Republicans who do
not accept. Id r..t .....f. ..I
1t was found, however, at this meet
ing at Secretary Sherman's that there
were very few, if any, Republicans who
would refuse to vote upon such resolu-
ton, if it was properly worded. The
meeting will have good effect in pro-
noting harmony among Republicans,
and, although no formal agreement was
reached on any subject, the members
who were present understand each other
and the President better than if they had
not met Telegram to Clereland Leader.

Preserving Fruits.

Pears, apples and other fruits are now
preserved in England by the following
process; They are first reduced to a
paste, which is then pressed into cakes
and gently dried. When required for
use it is only necessary to pour four
times their weight of boiling water over
them, allow them to soak for twenty
minutes, and then add sugar to suit the
taste. The flavor of the fruit is said to
be retained to perfection. No peeiing
or coring is required, and the cost of the
prepared product is but little more than
that of the original fruit; the keeping
qualities are excellent, SO that it may be
had at any time of the year, and bears
long sea voyages without detriment.

Uncle Jessie Lyon married second
wife the third day after the funeral of
the first, whereat the neighbors sere-
naded him with tin-pans, horse.fiddles
and yells, to signify their indignation.
Uncle Jessie stood it as long as he could,
and then went forth and spoke thus:
Boys, if you care nothing for the joys
of bridegroom, think you ought to re-
spect the feelings of widower, the late
partner of whose bosom is yet hardly
cold in her gravew The boys were
stunned, and silently departed.

The Danbury Ne,os says no one can
be honest who eats buckwheat cakes.
This flour not only heats the blood, but
the imagination, and to such degree as
to induce the eater to believe he has made

he really has, and even to say so. The

elected as an elector and who was in
eligible because he held at the time
and still holds, the office of Z. S. Com

the electoral college and his place been
filled by said college, which selected
Daniel /. Crossman to fill his place
The Senate then retired to allow each
House to consider the matter. South
moved that the House take a recess
until the next day. The motion was
lost-192 nays to SO ayes. Jencks'
substitute for fuckers resolution, which
was that Hanchet, not having exercised
the duties of office for twelve years, the
vote OF the eIector objected to should
be counted, was adopted. In the Senate
it was resolved that the evidence was
not sufficient to justify the exclusion OF
the vote of Crossman. The Senate,
having been notified of the action of the
House in the matter, proceeded to the
hall of the House to resume tho count
The vote of Michigan was then counted
for Hayes and Wheeler. Then follow

that as both Houses had agreed, tht

Democrats, we think, will not make
a strong fight over Oregon, which was
reached in the count on Tuesday. OF
course South Carolina will 90 to the
commission, although there isn't
thread for the Democracy to hang a
hope upon. They haze been compelled
to acknowledge, after most thorough
investigation, that Hayes received an
overwhelming majority of the popular
vote, and the revolutionists only urge
ahe matter to consume time Wiscon-
sin, the last State on the list, when
called, will cause a sharp fight, probab-
~, as the old charge of ineligisility will
be raised. OF course there is really
nothing in the charge, and it is just
probable that enough feosible Demo
Gratis in the House may be found to nllte
with the Republicans, and that body
will agree to cast the vote where ii
rightfully and legally belongs, for Hayes
and Wheeler, aud then the fight will be
over. AS we have said from The
