WASHINGTON, D. c.

The EVENING STAR ION Saturdays double
sheet or eight page paper of fifty-six columns,
the size OF the New York dailfeS), is everywhere
recognized as the leading newspaper of Wash
1ngton. With two exceptions only, it has the
largest circulation or any ddt}y paper published
south Of Ne,c York, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE
THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY.
Every issue Of THE STAR is carefully read
not only by the citizens Of Washington and ad-
jacent Cities but by the throngs OF strangers
constantly visiting the National Capital on
business or for pleasure, (and who constitute,
In very large degree, the purchasing popula-
ton Of every State and Territory In the Union),
thus making 1t for most purposes
THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Its influence as an agent OF publicity has in
deed practically no limit within the boundaries
OF the country. The best evidence of this is the
number of new advertisements it printed in the
year 1879, which reached 2O,636, averaging
from 1,70O to 1900 per month in the busy
season.! These figures include only the sub
Ject OF the advertisement, and not any change
OF the matter, which, In some instances, Is made
daily, and, although new advertisement In
fact, is not counted but once instead of 80 pup
LEGATION dates The advertising books are open

RATIFICATION MEETING.
7 He Democratic SOyereigns Enthnsed
over HancOck's Nomination

All day yesterday, after the news of the
nomination Of Hancock was received, the
city was wild with excitement and enthu;i,
asm, anf guns were fired every minute.
Last evening there was big ratification
meeting ut Craddock's opera house, at which
not less than twelve hundred people were
present, in and outside Of the house. Music
enlivened the multitude, mingled with the
sharp reports of the guns fired every sixty
seconds.
The meeting WAS called to order by Col
onel d, L. Williams, who moved that Mr.
T. l.. Marsalis take the chair, Mr..
j. L. Wolf seconding the mo.
tion. Mr.. Marsals declining, Major John
Henry Brown was made chairman unani-
mously.
On taking the chair Major Brown spoke
feicitously, enthusiastically, for ten minutes,
reading General Hancock's glorious order
No. 40, issued while he was in command of
Louisiana and Texas. His remarks elected
frequent rounds of applause.
Hon. DIN Welborn, congressman from
this district, next spoke and dwelt
upon the purity and exalted character of
the nominee, his craftsmanship his fidelity to
the Union and his eminent fitness for the
presidency, Col. w. L. Crawford followed
next in an eloquent speech full of rhetorical
flowers, in which he paid glorious tribute
to General Hancock and his patriotism and
love of civil liberty and constitutional gov
ernment Mai. w. B. Wright was the last
speaker, and was philosophical eloquent and
eulogistic of General Hancock. He told
how, when Gen. Hancock first took COM
mand at New Orleans, he Judge Mabry,
then OF Jefferson, but now Of Fort Worth, and
Maj. Steadman, of Marshall, went to see the
General concerning matters in Texas. They
were met cordially and unostentatiously,
the paraphernalia Of military squirtism being
conspicuous by its entire absence. General
Hancock told them that he had been reared
to revere the constitution and its behests and
that under its mandates, its letter and its
spirit, the military was subordinate to the
civil law, and that bio intended to recognize
the civil tribunals of his district in all things.
He frankly said that he did not know that he
would be permitted to administer affairs
in his district according to his
luodS, DuL 81 luT MS no COull
serve the people and aid them in re-estab.
fishing civil government he would do so and
exert all his power to that end
The speakers were constantly inter-
rupted in their remarks by the vo-
citerous cheering OF the audience, and
whenever Hancocli's name was mentioned it
elected the widest applause. Dallas county
can be counted as very nearly solid for Han
cock and English.

A Trio Burglars

Some time between the hours of one and
four o'clock yesterday m0rning the Aneri-
can house, situated on southeast Main street,

ladder, which was placed at one of the win
dows The victims of the burglary arc DR..
Schrue, Of Corsicana, and W. B. Hare, tie
contra ter on the Dallas & Wichita railroad.
The former lost $50 and railroad pass, and
the latter Sl3 so. They were occupying
adjoining rooms, and each had their pants, in
which was the money, under
their pillows and the thieves pulled them
out and ritled the pockets without their
awakening, and that morning they found
theii pants lying on the floor with the pock-
cts turned wrong side out. The night before,
three young men genteely dressed, who regis
tered their names as Henry Thornton, John
Lynch and james Anderson, stopped at the
house. The police had been watching them
for several days, as they had essayed to pass
themselves off us railroad men. When the
burglary WAS reported at police headquarters
yesterday morning, Officers Ed. Cornwall and
Clemens arrested them on suspicion, and
on searching them found part of the
money, q portion Of which was identified by
the parties who lost it. They were taken be-
fore Justice Peak, who sent them to Jail to
await their examining trial. Lynch was ar.
rested some time ago on the charge Of bur-
glarizing the National hotel, convicted and
sent up to the poor farm, where he served

The Grand Jury Adjourned.

The grand jury adjourned Wednesday
sine die, after session in all of seven days
and a half. During that time they found
something over one hundred indictments. 1t
was composed of good, sound, sensible men,
who enquired diligently into the violations
of the law, and acted with discretion where
they saw proper to do so. They did not put
the county to expense by finding bills against
large number Of parties who would never
be convicted. They refused to receive in ev-
idence anything smacking of personal spite,
and, while they adhered to the law, yet they
were fair in their findings. They failed to
find any bills Tor violations of the bell punch
and Sunday laws, which are generally re-
garded rs dead.

The Comfy CrnpN.

A HERALD reporter in his rounds yester-
day met with farmers from various sections
of the county, and made inquiry in regard
to the condition of the crops, which they
generally reported to be hourishing, They
are very promising, especially corn. Here
and there cotton has been attacked by what
is called the cotton worm, but which is in
reality the grass worm, and which is confined
to small localities. Grass and vegetation of
every kind is thrifty, and they anticipate a
year of plenty.
