MAINE REPUBLICANS AND THE FL
NANCE QUESTION.
The Contest to be Made ON an Outsand-
ont Hard Money Platform.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The Heralds Port
land, Me-, special says: The Republican
State Convention has been in session discuss
ing the prospects of the campaign. There is
only one question that comes up prominent
ly and that is the attitude Of the party on
the finance question. The sweep which the
Greenback element has made in all the dis
tricts of the State has made 1t necessary for
the Republicans to declare themselves square
Iy The entire congressional delegation is
here, including the venerable Hannibal Ham
lin and Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine fought for the word "coin,"
while Hamlin, Frye, Hale and Powers insisted
on the old hard money platform of gold or its
equivalent. Hamlin and his followers insisted
that the only way to serve the party was to
come out squarely for hard money, raise the
old war cry, and rally the entire voting
strength of the party for a final struggle.
Blaine, who took position in Congress in
favor of silver, maintained that the new dol
lar was now part Of our currency, and the
word "coin" would be more in harmony with
the views of large proportion Of the Repub-
Hcans, and it's platform would keep many
men. who now lean toward the greenback
doctrine, from secedlng.
The general desire is to keep this question
out OF the convention. It is understood that
the gold men succeeded in carrying their
point, and that the party goes into the cam
Daign to try conclusions with the Greenback-
ers on an out-and-out hard money platform.

Intimidated Clerks.
[Chicago Times.l

WASHINGTON, July 26-The Republican
congressional committee still continue to
send out immense quantities of campaign
documents. They keep six or eight clerks
employed all the time forwarding campaign
literature favorable to the Republican cause
to all parts Of the country. The clerks at work
at the Republican congressional headquar-
ters are department employees. The way
they are forced inte the party traces is
this: Every clerk in a department is
given months leave of absence every year.
Those wishing to take their month now are
called upon to contribute week Of this time
in some way to the Republican cause, and If
he consents he is at once put to work in the
congressional committee room. If not he fears
the consequences. This one month, which is
the only vacation the clerk has In the entire
year, and which ne is entitled to by the rules
of the departments, Is cut down to three weeks,
and he submits tamely for fear of removal,
This fear is well founded, too, as has already
appeared in removals which have taken place.
The campaign literature disseminated by
these clerks is varied. Specimens Of the doc
uments sent out have already been men
toned. AS fast as the supply Of one kind is
exhausted another is taken up. The speech
which now seems most in demand is that
made by Congressman Frye, of Maine, re-
viewing the military services Of the corps of
alleged discharged Union soldiers.

THE CHINESE EMBASSY.
ELLUMINATIONs AND PROFESSIONS I'm
THEIR HONOR-TEN THOUSAND
CHINESE IN LINE.
MutterinEs of san Franciscan D1sCen"
tcnt-TOYements of the Embassy.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 3O-To-day was mark
ed by illumination and PROFESSIONS in honor
of the Chinese embassy. Those opposed to
Chinese labor were anything but satisfied at
the sight of 10000 Mongolians promenading
the streets yesterday, comfortably and sea-
sonably clad in white suits, and evidently in
good physical condition, when SO many citi-
zens here are out of employment and in great
distress. This was the occasion, not only of
bitter feeling between the races, but also OF
very strong expressions of their discomfort.
It Is not decided yet when the embassy will
leave here, but orders have been given as to
the route. 1t has been decided to go from
Omaha via the Rock Island and Chicago and
Lake Shore Railroads. thence on the New
York Central to Albany, then to Springfield,
and thence to Hartford, Conn. 1t is unlikely
that the embassy will stay over one train on
this route in order to obtain a short time for
Niagara Falls. This, however, will be the
only stopping place until they reach Hart t.
going East, and their attendants will remain
at Hartford with the educational commission,
until the household preparations are made for
their reception at Washington.
