WASHINGTON, D: c., July 10.-CongTess-
man Harry White, of Pennsylvania, has ar
rived here after quite an extended tour
throughout the State. He pronounces the
Democratic assertions that Hancock has
chance Of carrying Pennsylvania as the
idlest bombast- He says that the Democrats
have no possible chance of carrying the
State, and none know it better than their
leaders. There has not been a time, says
AIr. White, for years when there has been 50
much disposition on the part Of influential
Republicans to go to work as there ere I Is noW'
licansi except when there have been defec-
tons in either Philadelphia County. or in
Allegheny. This year there are no dissent.

FLORIDA.

WASHINGTON, D. G., July 10.-A private
letter from Senator Jones, Of Florida, has
been received here, giving it as his opinion
that the Democrats are not certain that they
can secure the Legislature, and that they will
have to make hard fight to defeat the elec-
ton Of Republican Senator One Of the
prominent Republican leaders.in South Car
olina, Samuel Lee, colored, has been consult

the campaign i'll his State It has been de-

WASHINGTON. D. e., July 10.-The DEM
ocratic Campaign Confsnfttee either has been
unable to raise funds or prefers to be a pen
sloner, as it has opened its headquarters in 4
commlttee-room Of the Capitol, where it is
preparing to send off campaign material Of
all sorts. The Republicans, on the contrary,
have their own headquarters, do not use
Government employees or Government sta
ti0nery, but pay all their own expenses.
A rooR SUBJECT.
The Democrats are endeavoring to make
some capital out Of the discharge of clerk
named Hamlin from the War Department.
Hamlin claims to have come from Illinois
and to have been appointed at the instance of
Senators Davis and Logan. The Washing
ton Republican, in speaking Of Hamlin, says
this: HE was formerly on the. Capitol
police, appointed as q Democrat and bounced
because he proved to be a lazy, shiftless,
drunken, worthless public servant So
say the Capitol police force. The Republican
had SOME knowledge of this man in that
direction, and scon found that he was
too faithless and untruthful to be
worth cultivating or indulging in his coin
municated griefs at the expense Of the COM
position and space they would occupy. 1t
appears that Ha1nlin was appointed in part
ut the instance of Senator Logan, and it is
equally apparent that he practiced decep-
ton on the Senator by claiming to be a Re
publican when he was not, and never had
been. If Senator Logan had known the
whole truth, instead Of expressing 4 regret
at his dismissal he would have demanded the
act"
It appears, however, that Hamlin was not
discharged at all, but the term OF his appoint
ment expired June 80, and he simply received
notice that his term Of service had expired by
Limitation.
THE FRAUD ISSUE.
The Washington Post, in double-leaded
editorial this morning, urges the Democratic
party not to abandon the fraud issue, and
says that the nomination Of Hancock should
and can in no wise be considered as all
abandonment Of that policy by the Demo-
Gratis.
There is report here which is credited By
influential Republicans, particularly by some
Indiana men, to the effect that the subject Of
the retirement of English from the Demo
cratic Presidential. ticket is now under
serious consideration by the Democratic
managers, and that the subject will be
broached at the Forthcoming meeting of the
National Democratic Committee in New York
July IL. The reason assigned by the circu-
lators Of this fumor for the withdrawal is
the supposed unpopula1ity Of English i'll In
diana.

Sp<cfn1 Dtspatch to The Chicago T1fb1ns.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July ia Repub-
lican, writing of the results Of the ReadJust-
ers' Convention in Virginia, comes to the
following conclusion as to how far the inter-
ests of the Republicans lie with the Read
iusters, and Just where they diyergo and
separate: SIT is clear that, while the election
of the Garfield and Arthur ticket IN Virginia
will be no easy task, it is entirely within Inc
bounds of possible achievement, providing
if is confitled to proper hands and undertaken
in season. It will be necessary not
on]y to provide money for the payment OF
the nofl-tax, but to make sure that it is ap~
p1iad to this object. The Readjusters will
undoubtedly try to coax over the coiored
voters. but they will not resort to the bull
dozing methods which the Conservatives
nure and simple have hitherto resorted to,
nnd their own interests will compel them to
insure a fair election and honest count II
they should be beaten by the Republicans at
the polls and yet secure majority over the
Rafunaer5 they will shed FEW
If anv tears, but proceed to
renew their alliance with the Republicans in
STATE affairs with view to results in
ISL. The Readjusters Of Virginia have
practically rejected the tenets Of the OLD
State-rights party, along with its race.ln-
tolerance Of opinion, its bred-in-the-bo ne ne
nrei,ldice against foreign labor and enter,
nriSe. and its hostility to an advanced school
system.' II these ideas should triumph It Is
imD0ssible to deny that a new future would
nntnl for Virginia, and that the Republican,
1,arty would Share in the blessings 1t would
bring in its train."
AN IRISH JOKE.
The Erc,si,eg Star publishes the follow.
inc. Mr., Irish, the Chief Of the Bureau OF
Engrayi1lg and Printing, Of the Treasury De,
naTfment, stated yesterday at " Willard's Hotel
fn n company of gentlemen with whom ne
vas in conversation lis intention to support
Zen. Hancock for President" The Demo
Gratis are trying to make much Of this. Col.
irish said tonight, however, that the above
statement was unqualitiedly false, tie had
hcen Lusy for SIX weeks removing his bureau
TO its S. new building, and had not
been in any hotel during that time
except twice, when he went to the Rigee
House to call upon Gen. Garfield "l shall
- for Gen, Hancock" :" said Col. Irish, in
he same way in. which he went for the
Rebels; or in the same way that Gen. Car
field will go for him. As see i, there Is q to.
dav every reason to support Garfield that
there has been to support the Republican

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune
NEW YORK, July 10.-The Republican Ma
tional Committee is now fairly settled in the
new headquarters at No. 241 Fifth avenue,
and things have been put into the best possible
order for thorough and effective campaign.
The new rooms are well chosen, and far
better adapted to the needs Of the Committee
than the quarters formerly occupied in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. The basement Of the
house is used for document-ro0m, where
campaign papers are prepared for delivery
throughout the country. On. the first
floor are the reception and reading
parlors in front, and the desks of the
Chairman and Secretary and their assistants
in the rear. The floor above has large
apartment fitted up as consultation room,
for meetings Of committees, ETC.. and a num-
Der Of smaller rooms for private consulta-
tions. A room on the next floor has been
furnished for sleeping accommodations in
case Of emergency.
There were a large number of callers to-
day, aud as the veteran Republicans COM
pared notes the belief in a successful rermi~
nation of the campaign next November
gained strength hourly. Senator Dorsey and
and the Assistant Secretary were engaged in
routine business, of which the volume is
very large. The work has been so systema-
tized that
EVERYTHING Is CLEAR
when the day closes, and no letter requiring
it goes twenty-four hours without being an
SWered-
Reports from Vermont, Pennsylvania, and
New York were full Of cheer. Mr. Fl. Bartz
reported that the Republicans of Pennsylvania
were never more active, earnest, thoroughly
harmonious, and sure Of victory than now.
Every man in the party seems to be alive to
the importance of the coming election,
Reports from Jefferson. Onondaga, and
Niagara Counties, in this State. were to the
effect that the party had been thoroughly or
ganized and ready to poll every vote for the
certain State, but the Republicans there are
organizing as never before, and they say they
will
INCREASE THEIR MAJORITY
by thousands. It will hold an election Sept.
T, followed six days later BY Maine 1t is
the purpose of the Republicans OF Vermont
to set their Maine brethren good example
by increasing their majority at least 5000
votes
To help in this good work Stewart l..
y. Woodford has consented to make seven
speeches in August at big maSs-meetlngS to
be held in the six largest towns in the State.
The members Of the National Committee
are enthusiastic in. their predictions: OF sue

Il careful consideration Of the reports thus
far received had convinced him the only

in several deaths, caused by want of drainage
and the malaria thereby produced, IN town.
St. Louis is, according TO the statistics, one
of the healthiest cities in the union, and sim
ply because her system of drainage and sew
erage is the best in the country. The au-
thoritieS are thereby enabled to keep the
city clean and its sanitary condition good.
Dallas is growing city; is devel-
oping and spreading into city of
Importance both in population and
point of business and she can
not always rest above seething
cesspool of corruption, rottenDess and death
breeding contagion. She must have ceanli-
ness and her sanitation must be all that n
great city requires. The time to commence
the work is now, that it may grow and ex-
psnd as the, city grows ind expands. We
have raid that the people, knowing of the
evils of which we complain and refusing to
rectify them, that they are criminal, and 1t is
true; but the immediate crimlnallty rests
upon those who have tho health and the al
fairs generally of the city in hand. They
must take the initiative, and if they fail to do
50 they are morally responsible for the same.
Super-oconomca men, or, in other words,
tho parsimonous, will say the city cannot
afford it every scheme Of the kind is for
the sake of private gain and job to
swindle the city. Such men are
either too ignorant, never having travelled
much or never having studied this matter go
as to understand and appreciate the situation
of affairs, the needs of the city, or else they
had rather people would die of malaria, and
sorrow be- carried to the households Of their
neighbors, than to spend moroccan of their
money. II is idle to talk about the better
ing of the sanitary condition of the city bo'
Ing scheme for plumber. 1t is the place OF
the peoples representatives in the manage,
mont OF the city government to see to it that
no jobs are put up, and it is the place of the
people to watch their public servants and sec
that they are faithful to their duties,
We desire discussion; we are anxious for
light, for thought by the people upon this
question, for we believe that the moro 1t is
agitsted the more the people will become
alive to its importance. This is the history
of the past of other cities; it will be the his
tory of tho future of this one, We know
that there are some good people, well'inten'
toned in our midst, who dread expense on
the part of the city, opposed to hssty action
in this matter, yet when they come to under
stand it and appreciate the necessities of the
case, will change their views.

The menageris was good; containing number
