VARIOUS CAMPAIGN ODDS AND ENDS.

We call the attention OF our National
and Labor friends toan interview, which
We print below, with one OF the most
prominent leaders OF that organization,
a delegate to the late Convention which
assembled at Chicago, and gentleman
who has been an active worker for the
principles Of the party since its first
entry into the political arena. There is
not now, nor has there been at any time
since the opening OF the campaign, the
slightest probability that the vote OF a
solitary State would be cast for General
Weaver at the coming election. and rec
ognizing this fact, the gentleman alluded
to urges upon the voters OF his party the
utter hopelessness OF making..any further
effort in that direction, and points out
that the next best thing to be done is for
them to unite with the Democracy, and,
by carrying for Hancock many OF the
states now controlled by the Republi-
cans, assist in placing in power party
which has, as its record will attest,
shown some disposition to remedy the
evils OF which they complain.

The Government Does Not Fear Rising
in Ireland.

LONDON, August 23.-The Chief Sec
retary for Ireland, in the House Of
Commons to-day. stated that the Gov
ernment do not think II necessary to
ask for exceptional powers for the pre-
servation of peace and protection OF life
and property in Ireland. They do not
know, he said, whether they can rely,
during the coming autumn and winter,
upon the common law. They do not
fear rising, but the condition OF the
country is p-ecarious, and should ne
ceSsity arise the Government would not
hesitate to summon Parliament in order
to obtain additional powers, but they do
not think the occasion is likely TO arise.
Mitchell Henry moved an adjourn.
ment, for the purpose OF raising debate
on the use OF buckshot by the police at
DungannOn, which he strongly de.
nounced.
Forster said the Government was re-
sponsible for that action; it had author
lied the use OF buckshot as more
humane than the ball; that the police
only fired upon and charged the rioters
when absolutely necessary; il they had
not done so Dungannon would have
been sacked.
Sir Patrick O'Brien, Liberal, and
Finnegan O'Donnell and Parneli, Home
Rulers, protested against the use oi
buckshot. Parnell hoped Forster would
rescind the order which in the case OF
Dungannon had most unfortunate re-
suit.
Marquis, OF Harrington, said: fthe
vote on the supplies is finished by Mon
day next, the house can adjourn On Sep
tember 9th, but all depends upon the
progress OF business.
John Dillon, Home Ruler. moved to
adjourn IN order to give Forster an OPP
pOrtunity to explain his recent Ian
guage. Dillon said: 81 do not mind
being called a coward and impostor,
but object to accusations OF deliberate
wickedness because advise resistance
to a law which the government itself had
called unjust, yet continued to admins
ter. | will repeat that advice TO every
land meeting in Ireland"
Forster said that he had no explana-
ton to make, but he adhered to every
word he had uttered. Dillon had
preached disobedience to law which the
government was determined to uphold.
Forster added that the recent horrible
outrages IN Ireland, show barbarism,
to which speeches like billions excite
the people.
