WASHINGTON CITY.
Hale On the Ca lnpaign.
National Associated Press to the Star.

WASHINGTON, Sept 20-Hon. Eugene
Hale, of Maine, Chairman of the Repub-
lican Congressional Campaign Committee,
was asked to-day how his Committee stood
on the financial issues. 'It occupies the
same position that the Republican party
has always held" replied Mr.. Hale. "Then
there is to be no change in the conduct OF
the campaign?" "There is not; there is
nothing in all the talk of proposed change.
We intend to make the fight on the
same issues upon which the battle in Maine
was I fought. The speakers we are
sending out West are the same that helped
us in Maine. Mr.. Gorham and IL have
agreed upon this They are the kind of
men we want to make our fight for sound
and redeemable currency" You did not,
then propose to make any concessions to
the EGreenbackers?" s"Not in the least.
Even in districts where our party could. by
coalesclng with the Greenbackers, defeat
the Democratic nominee, the Committee
would not consent to such a course. The
only safety for the party is to keep right
along on its honest platform. We would
lose both moral strength and votes by any
other course"
The Outlook i'm Iowa.
Secretary McCrary has returned
from Iowa. In speaking of poll
tics in that State yesterday he said
that the Greenback party had gained
considerable strength. There was good
sprinkling of Greenbackers all over the
State, and the result in Maine had tended
to strengthen them, but how much it is
impossible to tell until after the election.
From the way things look now Secretary
McCrary did not think the Republican par
ty would lose any members of Congress in
the coming election.

ployed, 1865; average per centage OF cost OF
collection, 4 lilo per cent The cost OF col
lecting the revenue during the year 1877
was &c. 256,614 10.
Monopoly i'm Fire Extinguishers.
A patent has been issued to Archibald
Graham, administrator of VIM. A. Graham,
late of Lexington, Va, for method of an
apparatus for extinguishing fires, which
covers all the fire extinguishers, and per-
petuates the monopoly in the manufacture

merchants and grocers that his men wanted
food and clothing and unless it was

take them. The merchants told him to
wait until this morning and they would
give him an answer.
In the meantime every preparation was
made by the police to resist any attempt
the gang might make to carry out the
threats of their leader. Cohen dismissed
his band at a late hour last night with Or
ders to reassemble at o'clock this morn
ing. At the appointed hour the whole
force appeared.
The police are out in full force thoroughly
armed and many of them mounted. Up to
this hour no trouble has occurred. Cohen
threatens to inaugurate strike through
out the city, stop all work, both Govern
ment and private and force contractors to
pay 81 so per day.

and thousand men would tear down the
Capitol and pile the bricks and stones in
