IOWA,S REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.

AcKLFY. Iowa, Aug. 26-In The TRIBUNE Of
August 20 is an estimate that the Iowa Republican
majority will be 10000. The estimate is based on
statements made by Senator Allison. The Senator
is an exceedingly modest man, and although an
enthusiastic Republican, he is very careful about
estimating Republican majorities.
After careful review of the field, however the
Republicans here predict that Iowa's Republican
maiority-over both the Democratic and Greenback
vote-will be not less than $4,000; and if Maine
goes Republican in September, and Indiana the
same In October, 1t will reach $4,000.
The Democrats are already badly discouraged and
demoralized. and the Greenba ackers have ceased 70
Inc q power in this State The Republicans ar jubi-
LIANT. and working nard There as no disaiiection
anywhere among them. Tney are fighting for the
same principles which Lincoln, Garfield and our
IJnIon soldiers fought for during the four years Of
the rebellion. and false leader cannot carry them
over to the enemy.

GENERAL WEAVER STILL wRATHTUL.

DENUNCIAlION OF THE ALABAMA DEMOCRATS
POSSIBLE ATTACK on TEE MAINE FUSION.
WASHINGTON, Aug 2G.-General Weaver, the
Grcenback candidate for the Presidency. left here
this morning to enter upon his campaign IN Maine
He will first speak at Faneuil Hall, Boston, on Fri
day night.
Nh Weaver, to his friends here was very out
spoken in his denunciation Of the Democratic party
and its methods He said that there was no possible
doubt that the Greenbackers carried Alabama, and
were swindlcd out of the election BIZ dishonest
count. The claim of tie Democrats lie said, that
they carried the State by 10000 majority was pre-
posterous All told. their vote was not more than
10000, while the opposition was very much greater.
Mr.. Weaver says. however, that the GrecnbacSerS
will certainly carry Missiasippi in November. In
that State. he said, the Greenbackers were pre-
pared to defend their owD, and did not propose to
ie swiudled. In his Faneuii Hall speech, Mr.. Nea-
yer promises 10 pay his respects to the Democracy,
ard 10 show how false they have been to liberty,
Justice and law. Ii he makes such speech as he
said that he would. it will not be very good nitro
duction for him in his efforts on behalf of tine Fusion
ticket IN Maine bIt it is very possible that be Will
not advocate the union between the Greenbackers
and Democrats in that State. He is avcrse 10 1t
now and his experience in the South tended to IN
ensfy his opposition TO union with the Democrats.

Vallejo Times, May 2d.l


The Chinese Masons held a meeting at
one of their houses on Marin street the
other evening, which was we'll attended
They have lodges in different parts of the
State, and one in New York. The other
day reporter asked one Of them what the
work of the association was to be, and
whether it was to be affiliated with the
Masonic Order or not, he said This
association is what Americans would call a
lodge of Free Masons and our object is to
benefit and assist all rsankind Free Ma
sons generally. and Free Masons from
China In particular.
If you are Free Masons why don't you
apply for charter from the Grand Lodge
of New York ;" asked the reporter.
"We have had it under consideration
for some time, and have taken the advice
of several American Masons, who are,
however, divided as to the advisability of
such an application. To avoid any ques-
ton being raised, we have decided to form
lodge of Cinnamon, and do our work in
our own lodge-room.
When did you first become Mason? q
81 was first Mason in China, long be-
fore | came to America.
"Have you ever been tried by an Amer
lean Mason?"
sob, yes more than once. In China
we have had both English and American
Free Masons in our lodge"
SIS there any very great difference OBJ
servable in the examination by Americans
OF Chinese, and vice versa ''
enc; none in the signs and grips. The
great trouble is in the language, although
both rituals mean the same thing, and
our passwords, different in sound, have the
same significance.
"Have you any idea of the origin and
antiquity of Masonry in China?"
sob, yes; L have studied the subject,
but it is too much to discuss at this time,
under these circumstances but one thing
1 will tell you, and that is, the ritual used
in China has been handed down unaltered
for over thousand years"
''Can you produce any evidence to sub
stantiate that assertion 2"
81 can, and will be happy to do SO ii
you will call at my house any time.
