Chicago, March S.-The Journals Wash
ington special says The secretary of the
treasury has been seriously urged to buy sill
yer bullion with gold, but this he is not in
clined to do, believing it injudicious to use
the surplus gold in the treasury for this pui-
pose. 1t is claimed that he can save eight
per cent by paying gold for the bullion need
ed to coin silver dollars.
The director:of the mints has received
number of offers for the sale of bullion te
the government, in accordance with tbs

THERE was communistic outbreak in
Washington D. G. on Saturday, but the
police were able to suppress it. A Wash
ington special to the Cincinnati Gazette,
dated 28th says: '"The disorder in the
city yesterday was created chiefly by
tramps and city 1oafers, well known to
the police, who would not work at any
price, and very small number of work
ingmen We're engaged. No serious out
breaks occurredS owing to the prompt ac-
tiOn of the police and the efficient prenar-
ations to meet all contingencies. The
crowd that gathered early at the site of the
Bureau of Engraving was easily dispersed.
and broken bands around the city were
also easily cared for by the police, the
mounted force from the country being
brought in for the day. The Chief of
Police notified Cohen, the bogus work
ingman, that his usual incendiary meet
ing on the avenue won1d not be allowed
tocontinqe, but Cohen defed the Chief,
and began advising breaking into banks
and hanging the editors who were de-
nouncing his harangues. He was prompt
ly arrested and locked up till tomorrow,
when he will be arraigned in the Police
Court. The authorities have no concern
about the indication ofthe past, three days
and are abundantly able to secure quiet,

Columbus Herald, July q.
The primaries for the election of dele
gates to the Democratic Congressional
nominating convention which meets in
this city next Thursday, were held in
three of the five counties which compose
this District last evening, and from the
returns at hand the nomination of the
Hon. Geo. L. Converse is pretty clearly
foreshadOwed. Despite the vindictive and
malicious fight that was made against him
and in the face of the boasts and threats
of his opponents, he swept the city, car
rying every ward, and the county also, so
far as heard from up to the hour of going
/ to press, Judging from the returns at
hand it is entirely safe to claim that Mr..
/ Converse will go into the convention with
at least 70 votes from Franklin county,
and the probabilities are that he will have
the solid delegation of 81. He carries the
| city by a majority of 965 over all oppOsi-
/ ton, his total vote being 2, 2,146 against
| 1,18I, the united votes of Anderson,
Poppleton and Walling. The returns
from the townships are so barren of fig
ures that it is impossible to give numeri-
cal results outside of the city.
A telegram from London received at
this Office announces that Converse has
secured IL out of the % delegates from
Madison county. If this be authentic,
then with the six or eight he has in Fay
cite and some in Delaware he will have
enough to nominate him on an early bal
lot. In any event he will receive the re-
quisite number from Pickaway county
when it becomes apparent that Walling
cannot be nominated, or from Delaware
after few complimentary votes for Pop
pleton. Mr.. Converse may consider his
| nomination an assured fact.

We predict more independence in vot-
ing In Ohio, this fall, than was ever be-
1ore known. The party leaders will find
that the party lash has lost its terror to
the men who cast the ballots Regtstsr
If we accept brother Kerr's prophecy
as truth, 1t needs no other prophet to pre-
dict that other truth that such policy
would defeat the Democratic party. But.
brother Kerr's predictions, so far as the
Democratic party is concerned, is all
sophistry. The Democratic leaders don't
intend to do any such thing, the lash will
be applied with usual Democratic vi0or
and the rank and file will be reouireCl
to toe the party line. 1t is a stale old
dodge Of Democratic leaders in Republi-
can counties, where they can't elect a
single candidate without the votes of Re
publicans, to talk piously and sanctimo-
nlOusly about the sinfulness Of the party
4ash3 but you never hear a Democrat
talk that way in a Democratic county:
tne order is given TO the hosts to marshal
their forces and march square up to the
line OF battle. Our Republican friends
who, OF late, have been fritting awav the
strength of the party on Democratic 90 m
didates, and thus giving them some of the
best offices and best patronage In +ho
county, would do well to look at the 90
fects Of this kind of voting, and the no,,-
er they are putting in the hands of polit-
ical opponents.
