of Mr. McGrath was made to conciate the Catho-
lies, who are yet chatting under Mr.. Bars defeat
for the nomination of State Treasurer. No sn0-con-
mitttees were appointed and resolution dividing the
State INTO sub-districts was voted down. The ques-
ton of forming an executive committee OF hve 10
act in conjunction with the candidates IN prosecu-
ing the canvass, was mooted; but this looked Ike
an attempt TO destroy the power OF the state Cohi-
mittee, and was talked down. Only one representa-
tive was present from Philadelphia and one from
Pittsburg thus leaving two of the most important
sections with only meagre representation. The
members are not at all pleased with the re-
suit Of the meeting, saying that any action
they might have taken easily be reconsdored IN
a full meeting of the committee. The candidates
present were evidently nervous regarding the
Greenback party in this State, one OF them telling
your correspondent that, if the latter party per-
sisted in its determination to nominate state
ticket at Wliamsport on the 10th large numbers
of the Democrats would go with it, it being from
the Democracy that the Greenback party recruits
its ranks. II is the desire of the committee to con-
duct quiet campaign. and avoid, as much as posi-
ble the tumult of boisterous canvass After liking
upon Philadelphia as the headquarters of the com
mittee the council adjourned.

GFRoM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE rRIBUNg.1
LONDON, Aug. 2s.-SpecuatiOn rs 10 the war
now seems to take the turn of how long 1t will take
TO carry the struggle to its bitter end Will tho
var extend over the Winter, or is there time yet
left before the bad weather sets in TO finish the
campaign and arrive at peace' The position and
prospects of both armies far as we are allowed to
know them, certainly do not Indicate a speedy end
to the campaign,
The consequences TO Russia of a protraction OK
the campaign through the Winter might be 50 seri-
Gus as almost to induce the belief that she would
be prepared to accept reasonable terms rather than
incur them. 1t will be utterly impossible to mann
tain an army in camp during the severity of
Bulgarian Winter. The supplies, again, are not
large, and well-informcd correspondent estimates.
in his letter to a London Journal, that Bulgaria will
not be equal to the task of furnishing more than
months subsistence TO the Russian Armies. Com
munication with the base in mld-Winter will be
practically shut of, and the Danube will not be
very convenient means of transport. Here, then.
are difficulties which Russia may well pause before
she encounters, and which for the time tend 10
favor the Turks
There Is yet, however time for much 10 be done.
Events may take very critical turn one way or the
other The Russians have abundant opportunity Of
making a tremendous onslaught. Indeed. it is In-
credible that they should not do There is every
indication that a battle must he fought on a scale
which shall transcend anything we have yet heard
from the seat of war; and in this they may succeed
in a manner which will more than atone for their
recent losses.
If we turn from the military 10 the political arena,
we see almost the same calmness and torpidity
prevailing The checks which the Russians
received in therOnward march have had the effect Of
quoting the apprhensons Of the Russophobes in all
countries. The prospects of Muscoyite occupation
of Constantnople to be a vision of the past,
and the action which Austria took precipitately q
week or two ago seems to have come to end, 1t
all events for time. The Governments OF Vienna
and Pesth appear now 10 be relying more upon the
fact that the Car wall need the countenance il
not the support OF his neigbbOrs in making peace,
than acting on the assumption that he Is in posi-
ton to fight with other powers than Turkey. What
ever may be the ultimate result of the war; it
is growing every day less likely that the
Turkish power will be completely annhated.
or that Russia will seek 10 set up the chain
Of Slayonc States which seems to be the only con-
sequence which Austria breads from the war.

SLAMS ha gained any advantage the day before. Tho
parapct OF the GriytZa redoub. had been good deal
Jagged by Russian shells but under cover of the
night all its defects had been made good, and it
looked as trim as If never a shot had been fred at it.
But the Russians bad, during the night, gained q
iar.e slice OF ground in the direction OF Griyltza,
ami a battery OF siege guns had been bdit on an
elevation, within easy range of the rcdOubt.
LONG RANGE GUNS BROUGHT ISfO PLAY.
At sunrise that battery came into action in rear
of the advanced battery aud sent is fire sweeping
down into the redoubt which could not reply u the

The Russian siege battery made admirable practice

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THs TRrBCSEl
WASHINGTON. sept. IA gentleman who has re-
Gently had an interview with Congressman Cox, in
reference to the Spcakershp him as very conf
dent Of his own election and as even more confident
Of Mr.. Randalls defeat. Sir. Cox's opinion, accord
ing TO THIS authority is about this: Mr.. Cox thinks
that Mr. Randalrs course Speaker durngthe Presi-
DENTAL count did not strengthen him with his
party MI Randall obtained the caucus nomination
for Speaker at that time by majority of only five
votes These five votes, Mr. COXs friends believe,
were obtained by the special interposition of the
friends of Gov Tllden who claimed, on their part,
f. have assurances that Nix Randall would certainly
secure the seating of Gov Tden in the Presidential
chair. without such assurances, Mr. Cox is certain
that he would have then defeated Dir. Ran
dali The actual influence Of Nj Hewitt
working in the name of Gov. Iilden, was then
necessary to defeat Mr.. Cox. This influence
Mr.. Cox does not think will be potent now,
IT, as seems probable, the Texas Pacific and general
subsidy measures are to be the questions which viii
divide the Democrats IN the Speakersip campaign,
MI Cox believes that his record viii commend him
TO the enemies Of subsidies He claims to have been
one of the original opponents in Congress of all sub
with Congressman Holman, of Indiana in that re-
epcct. He has always been an advocate of the non
interference theory Of government as regards the
relations OF the Federal Government TO the States
and from principle has consistently opposed all
subsidy schemes Mr.. Cox thinks that Mr.. Randall
has fallen far behind in the race, and that Messrs
Saylcr. Morrison and himself now the only for
mdable candidates. Mr.. Cox believes that Con-
gressmen Sayler and Morrison will ultimately agree
upon the strongest man, and whoever that may be-
he will not be Mr.. Randall
Mr. Cox does not appear to be certain where Mr.
Sayler's strength is and recent letter from Mr.
Morrison indicates similar uncertainty in the mind
of the latter. Mr.. Cox expects TO have the entire
New-England Democratic vote and all Of the eight
cen Ncw-York Democrats, with the possible excep-
ton Of two lie expects to divide the eight Pennsyl
vania Democratic votes with Nr. Randall. lnforma-
ton from Mr. Morrison shows that the latter relies
upon Arkansas and Missouri, besides his own State
Mr. Buckner, Of Missouri, will not be serious can
ddate. Nj Cox intends to open his campaign here
