WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The notorious
Dick Harrington of safe burglary fame, is
not too unsavory to be noticed by ex-sec-
rotary Blaine in his capacity, at all events,
/ as chairman of the Delaware Republican
state committee. Under date of Oct. Goth.
Blaine writes to Harrington, declining to
make a political speech in Delaware, not
because he doesn't wan to, for he says he
does, but because Of an attack of malarial
fever from which he is not fully recovered,
using the letter of Judge Folger as a test
to get up a business scare, Blaine says:
"That Delaware should sustain the Demo-
cratic party seems altogether anomalous.
Her geographical position, her industry,
her progress in manufactures, would all
seem to ally her strongly with the Repub-
lican party. During the period in which
the Republican administration nave shaped
the financial and common place of the
country, Delaware has enjoyed a new in
dustrial life, and has shown remarkable
development in wealth and pro-
ductive power. In the very same
years that Delaware has been
reaping the richest advantages of the pro-
t~ective system, she has been represented
in congress by the enemies of that system.
For the remainder of this campaign Re-
p%ublicans everywhere should bend their
energies to securing a majority in the

causes of just discomfort may exist with
state nominations unfairly and injuriously
thrust upon the party, and whenever means
may be taken to resent such wrongs and
repel such indignities, it is evidently the
duty of all true Republicans to use every
honorable effort to hold con-
troll of the popular branch of
congress. In that branch is lodged the
power to originate revenue bills, and that
carries with it the incidental power of fos-
tering or disabling the entire industrial
system of the country. The Republicans
may be safely trusted to do the first. There
is no serious danger that the Democrats
might do the second"
Mr.. Blaine might have added why he
wants the Republicans to lave the next
house. It is the reason dearest to his
heart, though he fails to give it away; and
it was because the house of representatives
in a certain contingency can elect
a president of United States,
and if Blaine is a candi-
be called upon to perform that duty prior
to March 5, 1885.
1t would seem as if proceedings were
begun against the ring of conspirators
who sold out the prosecution in the star
route cases, or rather, in the guise of agents
of the government, censpired with the de-
PENDANTS. The theory of the government
in relation to Fall is that he induced Payne
to go to the two negro jurymen and offer
them $4,000 to vote to convict Dorsey and
Brady. Brown, n of the negro jurymen,
swears he was thus approached by Payne,
and Foote, in the Ingersoll afidavits,
swears he was the party that introduced
Fall as the agent of the department of
justice. Shaw is arrested on the affidavit
of juryman Domphon, who AYERS that he
was offered a bride by Shaw to vote for the
acquittal of Dorsey and Brady. The
attorney general feels convinced that his
department was compromised by agents
employed within it, and he
is now moving criminally
against them. The Critic, organ of the
star route ring, in a personal tonight an
nounces that Fall arrived in the city
this afternoon, and will surrender himself
in the morning.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Acting secretary
of the interior, Joslyn, rendered a decision
of the utmost Importance to a large class
of applicants for pensions. He holds in
effect that seven years. absence may
be taken as proof persumptive of a
soldiers death, and such proof shall war
rant the issue of pensions to his family if
other requirements nave been complied
with. This decision is a direct reversal of
the practice hitherto prevailing in the
pension bureau. Positive proof of a SOL
dier's death was required, which in many
cases was impossible to produce.
The attorney general says the statement
that the cabinet discussed the unsavory
complexion of the attaches of the depart
ment of justiceand concluded that changes
] should be made, is not true, no word of
\ it. He said Richard Devins is a man of
integrity and responsibility, and has been
transferred to an honorable and response
BILE position in the postofice department.
a post of equal trust md confidence to
that held by him heretofore. No laborers
were removed yesterday, but two messen-
gers were dismissed for cause. One of
these places was filed by the promotive of
a laborer, who had been in the department
for some time. The other vacancy was
filled by a young colored man, a resident
of this district, recommended by Fred
erick Douglas. The statement is false that
any person from Pennsylvania was selec-
ted to fill any of these vacancies.
| 1.-THE statement to the effect that political
affairs in New York and Pennsylvania and
other states had been the subject of formal
discussion in cabinet meetings is authori-
tatively denied by the president and mem
bers of the cabinet, who furthermore spe-
| cifcally say that while the usual cabinet
meetings have been held for the considera-
ton of public business, no reference what
| ever to political matters has been made at
any meeting, and no dispatches whatever,
cipher or otherwise, have been sent from
the White house to the chairman of the
| state central committee in New York. or to
