New York, July o.-General Marshall
Jewell, Chairman OF the Republican Ma
tioaal Committee, answered few ques-
tons ot an interviewer today, as follows:
Interviewer-"Whst OF Hancock"
Jewell-"oh, have nothing to- say
against him. He is very good fellow.
The United States educated him to fight
her battles. When the war came, as his
native State did not seCede, he did not.
That's about all there is TO say about Han
cock"
"But there may be more to be said. 1t
looks very like Hancock now.a-days."
"Yes, in some light it does, but hear
great deal that is encouraging on the other
side. Itlooks TO me as II we would whip
them again. Unfortunately it has become
a sectional fight. 1t was not suggested in
Chicago, but 1t was in Cincinnati. When
Wade Hampton hobbled up to the plat
form on his crutches and pledged TO Han
cock solid south-that means business,
and resolves itself into the question, Shall
solid South or solid North rule in the
ensuing four years? lam very greatly en-
couraged and believe, as l said before, We
will whip them again."
Jewell evidently means business. He

has the business end OF the stick in his
hand and he grasps it with will.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-There is positive

. sinners.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-At the Cabinet
meeting to-day, there was some discus
sion as to the advisabllity OF the exercise
OF the Presidents power to withhold
the expenditures OF some portions oi
the money appropriated by the last river
and harbor bill, but it was ordered that
the. entire amount OF the appropri.
ations should be expended as fast as the
department in each particular case may
consider desirable.
The subject Of the st. Louis District
Attorneyship also came up for discussion,
but action was not reached.
An urgent appeal was made 10 the Pres.
ident some six weeks since, and again on
the 10th OF June, for the removal Of U. S.
Marshal Fitsimmons, upon the ground
OF lukewarmness in supporting the Inter
nal Revenue Officers in their efforts to
break up the illicit distilling In Georgia.
1t was even shown that the course oil
this officer proved to be position to the
abstraction Of the execution Of the laws,
and that while the revenue officers in
every OLuct CtaIo udu suCCeeueu IL lulIl
enforcing the revenue laws, in Georgia
alone the moonshiners continued TO defy
them and were more or less encouraged
by the officers who should naturally be
expected to vigorously enforce the laws,
but who failed to show any inclination to
do 80. Even in the case OF Marshal Fitz-
simmons, although considerable pressure
been brought TO bear on the President for
his removal, no action has vet been
taken, and SO far as can be learned the
matter has not yet been brought to bear
on the attention Of the Cabinet. His case
differs from that OF District Attorney
Farrow, in that his commission has moi
yet expired and his removal during the
recess Of Congress, except for good and
sufficient cause, would directly antagonizt
the tenure OF the Office act.

WASHINGTON, July s.-'rhe action Of the
Readjusters Convention in Virginia yester-
day, in nominating an independent Han
cock Electoral ticket, attracts a great deal
Of attention here. Republicans claim that
this division OF the Democrats insures
the State to Garfield, and the Democrats
virtually admit It. This means in effect
that the regular Democrats Of the State
will vote for one Hancock Electoral ticket,
the Readjusters for another Hancock
Electoral ticket, and the Republicans for
one Garfield Electoral ticket, leaving the
latter the State and Garfield to secure its
Electoral vote. There Is 4 large Demo.
cratic majority, but II cannot be divided
and remain q majority. II the two con-
tending factions Of the Democracy, the
Conservatives and the Readjusters, insist
upon running seperate Hancock tickets
Garfield will carry the State, and eleven
Electoral votes will be substracted iron
the Democratic and added to the Republi
can score.
