Republicans towards Packard in the cam
paign. He said, to the best of his recollec-
ton. he thought when Webber showed him
the Sherman letter it was in the handwrit-
ing of John Sherman, and was therefore
genuine. There was no reason why the
National ticket should run behind the
State ticket. Many Republicans were op-
posed to the bayonet policy which had lost
Republicans in several Northern States,
and injured the Republicans of Louis
lana. The witness is not a Hayes Repub-
lican. We were divided on Wheeler. He,
with his compromise, sold us out in 1877.
He explained that Democrats did all they

said there was no bull-dozing in Madison,
in 1876, and the result in that parish was an
increase of 102 votes over the usual Repub-
lican majority in 1874. He repeated the
Eliza Pinkston business, and then said that
on the face of the returns Nichols and Til,

First Dispatch.


WASHINGTON, July 27.-A labor excite
ment nearly terminating in riot occurred
here yesterday afternoon on the location
selected for the site of the new Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing Building. The
work of excavating for the foundation was
given out by contract to the lowest bidder,
but the plans we're subsequently changed
and the depth increased five feet This the
contractor claimed made the contract un-
remunerative, and an additional allowance
being refused by the architect Hill, he
threw up the contract and it was given to
another firm at the same figures. A story
was at once started that they proposed to
cover their losses by taking the difference
off the pay off their laborers, paying them
but rs cents per day. Yesterday nine men
six white and three colored-were set at
work by the contractors with about one
thousand unemployed men looking on.
The first cart had not been loaded before
the men were set upon and driven from
their work, pelted with stones, and roughly
handled by the mob, who declared that no
man should be allowed to work there for
rs cents per day, and posted notices on the
fence to that effect. The contractors left as
soon as the outbreak began, and the work
men were SOOH uTlNell Oll, 81 tLlebe W 'AN
time the police arrived the storm was over
for want of anything on which to expend
its fury. The contractors say they have
asked no man TO work for less than 81 day,
that being the price paid even to the water
carriers.
[second Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, July 27.-The strike in
augurated here yesterday among the work
men, ON the new building for the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
has increased in strength, and this
morning is spreading all over the city
the laborers generally refusing to work fol
less than 81 SO per day. No serious dis
/ turbance has yet occurred, but serious
trouble is apprehended. The police force
is inadequate to cope with the strikers IN
case of riot, and there are only few
troops in this vicinity.
Several contractors have advanced wages
from 81 to 81 25 per day. Many laborer
are satisfied to work for the price, but The
great majority hold out for 81 so. No
long since at the Printing Bureau build
ing heavy force of police were concen
trated to protect all who wished to work
81 25. Quite number went to work.
The balance were driven off to respect
able distance. The news soon sprea(
throughout the city, and laborers ar
moving from all parts Of it toward tn
Government building for the purpose, it
said of stopping the work. A collision
feared. There is very little excitement ex
cept in the immediate vicinity OF the Gov
ernment building.
