MIX. BLACKBURN EXPLAINS WHY RAT"
OFFICES GET THE CAMPAIGN PRINTING.
Representative Blackburn, of Kentucky,
chairman of the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee, left this city at 80 p.
m. yesterday for Philadelphia Before leaving
he was waited uren by delegation of print
ers representing tts typographical Union. 1t
was represented to Chairman Blackburn that
the work of the Congressio7a COMMITTEES was
being executed by parties gao employed print
e1s not members Of the typographical Union,
otherwise known as rats" that in conse
quence the employers of such labor underbid
those who employ union printers, and the
patronage OF the committee being given to the
employers of the rats" that it was discrimi-
nation against the latter class as well as against
skilled labor. The delegation urged Mr.
Blackburn to in future patrOniZe establish
ments only which had in their employment
union printers.
In reply, Mr.. Blackburn said that. as he
viewed the matter, the complaint of the dele
cation was one with which the Congressional
committee had nothing to do. In the exercise
OF its Judgment, he, as chairman, had visited
several printing establishments, and awarded
the work, the same as an individual would do,
to the one who offered to do it the best for the
least money; that the funds of the committee
were low, and that he did not feel that, in JUS
tice to those who contributed thereto he
should pay higher rates to union Office when
Tor a less sum OF money he could get work
done equally as well. Hence, he refused to
make any change concerning the committees
printing unless he could make even more IA
vOrable terms.
The interview was pleasant one in tone,
although unsuccessful in it's results 80 far as
the union men were concerned.

England is arming and making every

OF supplies are being transferred to the

sert that the crisis in the Oriental sit

thought if Russia means peace she
would not continue such extended prep

TO- day TO consider the question of the
proposed reconciliation OF the silver
dollar. The subject was discussed at
considerable length, and preamble and
resolutions adopted and ordered t.. ie
grapbed to the Congressional delega-

ficial effect upon California of adhering
to the coin basis during the fluctuations
of the currency. and that the reeuper-
alive energies Of the country and the
Act of Congress, fixing resumption on
January, 1879, are rapidly bringing the
currencies of the country to an equilib-
rum; therefore, resolved,
First. That we view with alarm thr

vate and national faith. and at the best
interest of the country.

and commercial interests of the whole
country; step backward iii our pros
perity at home and financial credit

Third-That this Chamber is opposed
to any Congressional action that will
