WASHINGTON, July 2l.-It is a fact
that Don Cameron's activity in the
coming campaign was purchased by
the Garfield managers. When Mar
shall Jewell came here, he knew that
the Grant men we're more than salts
fed by the letter Of acceptance, but
he also knew that Cameron him
self wanted something more than
a general promise to the party that
the spoils system would be adhered
to, and that members of congress
should control the patronage Of the
government. Cameron had succeeded
at Chicago by his arbitrary conduct as
chairman of the national committee,
in ~estraDging the leading and Grant
men Of the party, and he wanted some
assurance that his own sins would
be forgiven should he exert him
self to secure Gar6eld's election.
lie wanted his own as we'll as
bis factions pre- .eminence assured.
Jewell says he did not know
Cameron was not in Harrisburg, and
therefore stopped there expecting to
see the young senator. When he dis
covered where he was he t~elegraphed
Cameron asking him to meet him in
Washington, telling him his business
with him was urgent and personal to
himself. This attracted Cameron.
and he answered that he would 60 to
Washington, although it inter.
fered with other engagements.
He came and was promised a
cabinet position in return for
his active aid in Pennsylvania should
Garfield be elected. This completely
captured Cameron and has restored
him to the ranks OF working republi-
cans. He has thus gained as much by
his sulking as though he had succeed
ed in nominating the "0ld Command
err" while the country has received
another evidence that Garfield would
be but putty in the hands ofthe Grant
crowd should he unfortunately be
elected.

The Eth Ward BALL.

The meeting in the Fifth ward last
night was significant. The crowd
present was variously estimated at
from five hundred to one thousand
persons. The fire works and the
music had something to do with bring
ing the people together, but the ear
nestness and eloquence. of the speak
ers kept them together. 1t
was a thoughtful intelligent crowd
aud the speeches we're addressed to
reason and common sense. No appeals
were made to the passions or preiu-
dices of any class, but all were ad-
dressed as citizens, having an interest
in the welfare of the community.
General Luke E. Wright made a very
clelr and able speech. He stated
the local issues in a plain
straightforward manner that
all seemed to understand and to
appreciate. He made a decided i'm
preston upon the crowd. Next came
Hon. John League, who remarked
that he had not been on a democratic
platform for twenty four years. This
speech produced a marked effect. He
has a large influence in his ward
and throughout the city, and we
are glad to have the benefit of his
counsel and his efforts on behalf of
the democratic ticket. Colonel Jo-
siah Patterson made a very happy
effort. He is n of the best stump
speakers we have, and we hope he will
speak as often as possible between
now and the election. Taken alto
gether, this was the best ward demon
stratiOn that we have seen, and we pre-
dict large democratic gains in that
ward, Mr.. Clavin, the president of
the club, and the other active work
ers, deserve great credit for the sys-
tematic and timely efforts they are
making, to reduce the republican bull
doing majority in that radical strong
hold.

Losing in Length.

Special to the ST. Louis Republican
When the watching doctors saw
DIR. Tanner gaining in weight on a
diet Of ice water they were ready with
their explanations, but to-day when
the discovery was made that he was
two inches shorter than he was when
he began fasting they we're for a mo-
ment dumbfounded. At the outset
careful measurement showed that he
was five feet six inches tall to-day
equally careful measurement showed
that be was barely five feet three
aud a half inches in height. The
doctors explanation Of this curious
fact is as follows. There are twenty
four bones in the spinal column, and
between these bones are twenty
three layers Of cartilage. There
are no blood vessels in this car
tillage. 1t derives its substance
from absorption. Consequently when
the supply of food is cut of,
these layers of cartilage are the first
portions Of the body to suffer. These
are capable Of a shrinkage of one
quarter of an inch in thickness, so
that a man might lose as much as
thirty inches in hight from this cause

Timely Tn0uirieS.

EDITOR LEDGER:-Is there any
thing in the charter of the city rail-
way company that compels one to be
conductor and passenger at the same
time ? Is one, when entering the cars,
obliged to walk forward and deposit
his fare in their little contribution
box? Will not rendering the nickel
to the driver answer the same pur-
pose, and in case he refuses to take it,
can the passenger be legally elected
from the cars? Now, we have in our
community many worthy young men
who are willing and competent to per-
form at most any kind of labor, hut
from the force of circumstances are at
present idle.
Our street railway company is max
ing money and growing rich from the
necessities of the people. therefore
contend that they should be obliged
to accommodate the public in return
for the privileges they enjoy. The
people have it in their power to com
pei the company to place conductors
on their cars, as in other cities, and to
make other improvements.
A unanimity Of action on the part
of the people in this matter will force
the company to employ men to take
the fare, and in this way give employ.
ment to many that are idle, as we'll as
protect people from being insulted BY
brutal drivers, which is often the
case. One more thing is needed, thai
they let the public see that gentle.
men are employed as conductors anc
not brutes. ENQUIRER.
