even prepared to approve the Anglo-Turkish Con-
venton if he thought il would lead to better govern
ment in Asia Minor. The Opposition was not strong
in its objections to the settlement ITSELF and it GER
tainly was not united. Some approved the Berlin
Treaty others disapproved it, while large number
criticised its provisions There was difference OF
opinion as to what would be its effect. They were
more successful in critcisng the Turkish CONVEX

happy in the manner in which he made
the Government give its reasons for this act. Some
Ministerial speakers had said il for the purpose
OF reforming and regensHati1g Turkey IN Asla,Wnue
Others had claimed that it was purely for selflsh
considerations alone that England bad gOue there;
In short that she had gone to protect her own inter-

ment were placed between the horns of a dilemma.

could make was kind of bungling answer tnat
their policy was guided by both these intentions.

sTATE-HIs OPINION OF THE POTTER INvEsTI-
GATfoN-wHAT HE THINKS OF THURMAN AND
GRANT AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
fFRoM SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUSE.I
SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. Ex-senator Henry b.
Anthony, Of Rhode Island, has been making his an
nual visit to Saratoga. When asked in converse
ton day or two ago if the views of the National
party had obtained much hold among the large
manufacturing population OF Rhode Island, he said
that he saw little evidence of it, The people OF
Rhode Island were nearly all at work, although at
low wages and the discomfort caused by lack of
employment did not prevail among them. Green
back paper had been started recently in Providence,
but what influence it was likely to have he was
unable to tell.
In reply to an inquiry concerning his estimate OF
the results of the Potter investigation le said
that it appeared TO have "petered out" to
use a Western phrase. 1t depended mainly ON the
supposed authenticity of the Sherman letter, and
that letter had been proved not to be authentic
The failure of the investigation must be injurious to
the Democratic party. OF its effect upon the for
tunes of Mr.. Tlden he did not to speak. In
further conversation, however, Senator Anthony
said that be supposed Mr.. Tden could get the Dem
ocradc nomination in 1850 in the same way as in
1S76-by buying it,
Respecting the suggestion of Mr.. Thurmans name
for the choice of the Democracy, he said that he
considered Mr.. Thurman a very strong and very
able man; in fact the leading man of the Demo
cratic party. In response to question whether he
thought Mr.. Thurman, as the Democratic candi-
date, could carry New-York, Connecticut and New
jersey. Senator Anthony said that was hard to tell
These States, in a fairly conducted election, were
Republican, and he believed would have been car
ried for Hayes in 1876 if there had been no cheat
ing But there was so much fraud in New-YOrk
City, and the washing" of the city so affected the
elections in New-Jersey and Connecticut that the
Republicans could not be sure in any year of the
success to which they were entitled.
Senator Anthony asked his opinion Of the talk
about third term for General Grant. He said that
it too early to discuss the prospects of possible
Presidential candidates, but he thought that Cen
eral Grant would be strong candidate and would
be acceptable to the mass of Republicans.
Senator Anthony expressed the belief that the
Republican party in Rhode Island was i'll good
condition now as in the past, and would give as
large majority as usual at the next election. lie
declined to say anything about the state Of public
sentiment in Massachusetts or to speak of General
Buffers course saying that he not familiar with
Massachusetts affairs, the relations of Rhode
Islanders being more with New-YOrk than with
Boston.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug 13.-The Hon. Lorenzo
English has finally consented to become an indie
pendent candidate for Congress in this district the
IXth), against George L. Converse, the Democratic
nominee. Mr.. English earnestly desired that some
other gentleman should make the race, but he was
80 urgently pressed by delegations and letters from
ell the counties in the district that he accepted this
afternoon in a letter addressed to General Beatty
and others. very large meeting of leading Repub-
hcans from each county was held this morning,
Governor DennisOn being present and taking an
active part in the proceedings. Arrangements
were made to receive the delegations to the
Congressional Convention at the depot on
their arrival on Thursday, and escort them
TO the convention. Over 400 respectable citi-
gems have sgniied their intention to join
the procession. After the preliminary pro-
ceedings of the convention over, a motion will
be made to support Mr.. English as an independent
candidate 1t is probable that General Beatty will
make speech favOring such action.
Among the siVnens calling on Mr.. English to be-
come candidate are some Of the strongest Dem
Oerats in the District-men who supported Valan'
digham, and who never voted any other than the
Democratic ticket. These men include a number of
the most influential business men of the community.
Heretofore a nomination for Congress in this dis
met on the Republican side was an empty honor,
but now the Republicans propose TO take the Of
fensiye with very good fighting chances of winning,
Notwithstanding the fact that the counties which
nov compose 1t gave Democratic majority OF
$500 last year. Everything points toward an
unusually severe struggle, both the candidates
being old citizens and prominent lawyers
