, tr1b1Ations OF the Republican CON-

cannot appreciate the ex eat Of de
moralization that followed me result
in that State. LAX Of funds Is one
Of the difficulties the Republican com
nittee entounfeTs now for the frs
time in Its history. Ofice holders
and wealthy politicians are not as free
:" .PV--s- ~" for losing eause as
when victory seems certsin. And
that Is what is tho matter Of the rad
ical cash. The assessments ned,
early In the campaign were tret
generally responded TO, bu-. to Drgi.i
WltB, the money was q .rndered
where 1t has not done e1l. good.
and now the effort to CO. fet a new
levy Is fraught with nue. I.fficulty.
Every person holding az CiIIce under

10 scrubbir 4s-women and s7Teepers In
the departments, and NOtaries Public
all over the Country have been called
upon for the little "two per cent"
but many are backward about coming
forward with the money. Ore No
tary Public told mo that IL he Sc hts
two per cent it would amount 70 about
fifty cents, and that lie would keep
1t under the circumstances. Over
500, 900 were sent 10 Vermont and
Maine. Where Is that ore hundred
thousand now? The committee would
| Ike to have IL.
In Democratic circles confidence in
the result Of the the Presidential elec-
ton is estimated by the encouraging
reports received daily from all direc-
tions. Senator Vest writes from In
dlanapolis to friend here that IUdi-
ana will give ten thousand majority
for Landers. Not the least encuur-
aging feature Of the Democratic out
look IS the assurance thst comes from
many sources in Virginia that the
electoral vote vote Of that state Is safe
for Hancock. The Republicans had
little thought Of Virginis in their cal
edlations before the Maine election,
and now, on the heel of tnat disheart-
ening result, they have neither eneE-
gy nor money to spend upon such an
unpromising field as that would be
for Republican endeavor, even under
the most favorable circumstances. 1t
is stated npOn the authUIity of Re-
publican meInber of Congress from
the South that recently Senator Don
Cameron earnestly advised the Ma
tional Committee of his party against
making ~ ight for the electoral vote
OF Virgi cIaring it to be plainly
out of Il. r of the Reput 81 ANS
to capture zen though the coI4-
mtttee shou.. have the means requi-
site TO pay tn. capitation tax Tor the
negroes, and niherwise put the de-
moFalized and disbanded Virginia
Republican party in fighting ape.
Ii Is stated also that General .-aIone
told member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee that whenever 1t
should become apparent thai le Re
puhlicans would seriously contend foF
the ELECTORAL vote of Virginia lac
would urge his friends TO take down
their electoral ticket.
Within a day or two there has been
talk about a revival OF the Radical
scheme for capturing the electoral
vote of New York, against the wip
of the people. 1t is said that if Ind
ana goes Democratic in Octobe
meeting of Republican ms nsges Is
to be held in Boston ca the I3t', anu
Governor Cornell advised T. call
special session of the New york legis-
lature to choose electors L don't
think this will be done, lor II IL was
1t would never elect G.rfield. H.ln-
ois, Ohio and Pennylvanis wolti
surely vote for Hareock after s1'.b
trick as that. Bu the talk 81 o1t it,
or the fact that Republican e-ders
entertain such project, shuWs low
desperate theS case Is.

work is being dere, and SO, per day
| Is paid for the transmission of docu-
mems. A visitor called day or two
since who had picked up very de-
lspidated-looking specimen of the De
Golyer rotten-wood pavement, which
he suggested could be manufactrr d
into trinkets and sold for campaign
relics. During the absence of Secre-
tary Schurz the radical assessment
collectors vigorously worked the In
terror Department, but many of the
clerks evaded payment upon one pre-
text aud another, until Mr. Schurz'
return. He is now here and they
expect to be projected In their refusal
to be assessed by this great apostle of
civil service reform. The annual re-
port of the slguaI service shows that
of the storm warnings during the fis-
cal year over 8S per cent have been
verified, and the weather indications
have been correct eighty-six times
out of hundred east of the Rocky
Mountains and ninety on the Pacific
coast
