understand that an indispensable factor
in securing success is money. The ex.
penses of this Committee are hourly

are made upon US every day for money
10 pay taxes, naturalizations, and many
other legitimate expenses, necessary for
the successful management Of the can.

tion, TO the extent OF 2 per cent Of

Lost at Sea.

The steamer City Of Vera Crus, which
sailed from the port Of New York IN
the 25th Of August, fonndered at sea on
Saturday, August 2s, at o'clock ?. y,
forty miles north Of Cape Canaver&l.
Only three passengers and eight OF the
crew are known TO have been saved out
of eighty.two In all. The Vera Cruz
was one of the strongest ships In the
world, and valued at 500, 600. A terri
bic storm prevailed at the time, and the
waves are described as running fifty
feet high. They broke over The ship
one after another. aud although the
most desperate efforts were made with
. donkey engine and buckets to bail
the water from the ship, it gained the
mastery and the good ship sank TO rise
no more. The details of the wreck are
unusually distressing. and make
horrible chapter in the annals OF the
sea. sfrs aaa :. sflss AsstaEi0ssi 80 4

tdnia:
GENTLEMEN IL has been urged upon
me by many persons in whose Judgment
] have great confidence, that the zeal
and excitement OF our present canvas
is growing 10 such an extent that We
should conduct il somewhat after the
fashion Of that of 1910. Instead, how
ever, Of the Log Cabin, it has been sug.
gested that a Canal Boat should be fre.
quently and extensively used. | can.
not present this view better than 10
quote the language contained in a let.
ter OF advice recently received from
gentleman Of high character and large
experience. shall, therefore, take
the liberty OF quoting largely there.
from:
FIRST - Don't forget the CANAL

"SEcoSD-In all the torch.licht bro.
cessions have large transparency with
Garfield on one side trousers rolled up
driving on the tow path, with an iuscrip.

inscription, HANCOCK BEING EDUCATED

country vote through their eyes say

the masses for forty year,.
"TnIRD. Get up rousing mass meet.
ings. Have singing as the procession
moves and not at the stands or in
the halls merely. and make provisions
Tor the attendance OF the women and
children. The row PATH and ioNC booE
will do more TO elect Garfield than all
the elaborate augmentation Of great
orators at large meetings. Everybody
can hear a song and everybody can see
a canal boat and pair Of mules, and it
is EVERYBODY THAT is TO BE REACHED If
we are TO win. Let our local commit.
tees throughout the State be instructed
TO arrange mass meetings, including
these features"
! give these suggestions for whatever
they may be worth. You will be able
10 understand much better than ! the
temper and feeling of your own people.
Wherever you think that such action as
that indicated would do good you will,
of course, adopt the suggestions, other.
wise not.
Allow me 10 make one other sugges
tion. We have a reasonable expecta.
ton that our friends will triumph at
the election in Maine, which is to he
held on Monday, September l3, 1850.
Undoubtedly we will be able TO know
the result in all parts Of the State hy
Tuesday afternoon, and if il should be
favorable TO US it would be well TO have
all our clubs and organizations turn out
on Tuesday night. with music, banners
and torches, and celebrate the victor,
in proper way. In remote districts Of
the State this might be done on Wed.
nesday night IL the news is not receiv.

4 Proposed Remedy,
To the Editor OF The Chicago Tribune,


CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-The Knishtly exploits Of
the past few dnys give fellow a chivnlric feel
ing. hence these tears. The West Division Rail
way hnve issued IN order to conductors to stop
tho cars only at crossings, the result Of which is
TINT the women and small children are often
obliged to hoof 1t after car the observed of all
observers, while we men can hop On and off
without reference to crossings or arbitrary rules.
Can some good conunlrum- cuesser tell why
such all order exists? 1t consumes more time in
carrying out the order than formerly. for
nov the Car waits two minutes while d lady
walks from oue-half to three-fourt Of block
while otherwise une-fourth Of q minute pniv
TH5 necessary.
There is Il remedy. At present nearly all men
except very Old ones get on and OF the cars
without obiging them to stop. This they do in
the lace OF Il notice posted up In tho cars
cGunontng passengers not to get on or Off vhi).
the cars are in motion. This notice Is up Simply
Tor protection to the Company In case of Lsw-
suit over sone one they may kill, and not for
protection to the public
Now, In order to even the thing up, ] suggest
that every ch1vnlrous kulght insist upon the
cars stopping TO let him on and of until this u1t-
indies and children is abated.
and it this don't WORK, l would venture d new

Van Buren strect-t=rs would uIrcc to bind
themselves to patrDniZe exclusively any enter

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Without reference to the
merits of the other candidates for Congress in
tho Third District it nuy be said, almost without
fear Of contradiction, that there are good rea-
sous why Hiram Barber, Jr., should not he re-
nominated. fu one sense the interests Of the
First, Second, and Third Districts nre linked.
They all belong to Chicago, aud the three mon1-
bers together represent the city as whole. It
is no dtsparagemeut Of Mr. Barber's natural
abilities or Of bis good intentions to say that he
is not pretninently qualified to perform this
duty for the Third District. Neither br long
residence nor by special business or professional
work has ho been ut all prominently idsn-
titled with the interests Of tho Thicd District.
Nor can It be said that his career fn Congress
thus fnr has been OF u natuEc to assure his
constituents that be is altogether the best man
ta represent them for second tcru Before he
had aiken bis seat be redeemed pledges which
he had made during the campaign by engaging
openly and scandalously in the purtIou- brokerage
business. His maiden speech was public failure,
uud he sat down amid tho fronjcal lnu.hter Of
the House. He has been since then only known
as ono of the humblesr and most insignificant
members OF Congressional Syndicate whose
aim has been 10 dictate from Washington the
politics Of the State Of Illinois.
SIXTEENTH WARD.
, 1880-08-22


CHICAGO, Aug. 2I.-A8a Dow's position as to
his pork deals is the cry Of a maudln baby
He forgets the abuse he gnye to Underwood &
Co. not long since for not meeting contracts.
The reliable Shuman Journal tries to come to
his rescue, and claims tho law to be against
dealing in future purchases ana salcst and as
proof quotes the law against puts and calls,-n
law that probably Dow has violated as much as
any other member Of the Board ever did. But
then the public, which Dow says, ''Damn Il" is
interested. The difference between Dow'a So
called corners and Armours Is very grent
Dow, IS asaillst tue welfare Of the public, which
he danlns, while Armolr's is In favor Ut tho
public. Dow scils expecting that hc cnn make
money by depressing their products. while Ar
1nour, in his efforts to make noury. enhances
the value Of their products. The assessors re-
ports q hogs fn Illinois prove it. Dow selling
buy hogs, at say $3 while Armour's buying en-
hnnces the value to S4.50 or s.. Now, tho differ
ence to the producers of hogs in our Suite by
Arlnour's works amounts tO, ut one cent per
pound on 3,000.0 .00O hogs ST,00, ,000 nlonc. IT Dow
succeeded our farmers would thank him for de-
stroying value to them to thut amount. The
more Duw's position is understood, that much
more will the public dunn Dow. xxx.
