DON CAMERON
AnxiOusIy Trying 10 COncilfate the
Warrirg Factions of The Re-
publican Party.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Cameron
was here for few hours to-day. He had a
talk with candidates Beaver and Brossier,
Chairman Cooper, secretary of the common
wealth, Quay, collector, Hartranft, Frederick
Magee, of Pittsburg, and others, in reference
TO project for uniting the Republican fac
lions. General Beaver said, after the con-
ference, that no decision had been reached
with a view to effecting harmony. He
thought diverse views would be expressed
at the meeting OF the State Commit
tee on Wednesday next. If the other
candidates attend the meeting he will also;
otherwise not. He does not know if the
committee will favor the resignation of the
candidates upon the conditions that the In
dependent candidates also resign and let the
people send delegates to new convention.
He will abide by the decision of the COM
mittee. He emphatically believes, however,
that the regular ticket can be elected
whether union is attained or not. 1t is I'M
derstood that Chairman CoopeT's proposition
to let the people decide at the primaries
which ticket shall stand, was regarded with
favor. The Independent leaders, however,
have already declined this proposition. 1t
is said the question of selecting successors to
Collector Hartranft and Postmaster Haide-
koper was also discussed to-day.

A RAID BY THE "RADSo
On the Democratic strOngh holds of Ten.
nessee Now Being Mapped out
by the Congressional
Campaign COmmittee-AbIe Speakers 20
he Sent Here ana IL whole Bari
or the Needful.

The following is from the Chicago Meas
Washington correspondence: Among the
| States TO which the Republicans intend to
pay particular attention is the coming con-
gressional campaign in Tennessee. Ever
since the debt question became an important
factor IN the politics of that State an idea
has prevailed among the Republican leaders
that by iudicious management il might be
brought into the fold Of the faithful. The
Democrats of Tennessee are split into two
sectlons-one composed of the old rock
rooted Bourbon element, believing in out
and-out reputation, and another made up
OF younger and more progressive men, who
think the States honor ought to be pre-
served, at least tn the extent of
paying sixty per cent. OF its debt.
The situation is somewhat similar to
that in Virginia, and the Republicans think
that by throwing their influence in favor OF
the sixty per cent section they could secure
the return of several additional congress-
men who will vote with the Republicans.
The present situation is thought to be some
thing like this: Augustus III. Pettibone,
representing the First congressional district
in Tennessee, is Republican. He is a can
didate for reelection, and will probably re-
ceive the nomination. The district is Re-
publican by about 1900 majority. L. C.
Houk, Of the Second district, is also a Re
publican. He will undoubtedly be returned.
as his district is strong Republican one,
William r. Moore, of the Tenth district, is
the only other Republican member of the
Tennessee delegation. He represents the
Memphis district, which is as liable to re-
turn Democrat as a Republicau-Mr.
Moore's majority being less than 1000. He
Is a candidate for denomination, and conf
dent OF success. The Third Tennessee district,
now represented by George G.. Dibbrell,
Democrat, will be thoroughly canvassed
by the Republicans this fall. They will
place in the field General John 7. Wilder, of
Chattanooga, to ran against Dibbrell, and
chance of success. Equally vigorous efforts
will be put forth in other districts where the
Republican ticket stands the least show.
Strong Republican speakers from the North
ern States will be sent into Tennessee to
teach the unregenerate Tenuesseeans the err
rors of their ways and convert them to Re-
publican faith. The question of paying or
not paying the State debt will be the main
hook upon which the political missionaries
will hang their choicest rhetorical garlands.
Judge Taylor, Garfeld's successor in the
House, is one OF the orators who has already
been selected to stump the State and light
the Republican beacon in places now buried
in Democratic darkness. The Republican
campain committee
sidering the names of other speakers who
will be sent on similar errrands into Tennes-
see, and everything points to determined
attack upon the Democratic strongholds OF
that State"

The jackson Clarion is right when it says

PITsBURG, July ct is reported here
that me mill of I. A. Watson & Co., at Pom
eroy, o., have signed the Sc % per ton scale,
which is twenty-five cents over the Pittsburg
scales. secretary Weeks, of The Iron Asso
ciaton, is out of town, and nothing could be
leaned from that source as to the truth or
faldty of the report. Secretary Martin, of
the Amalgamated Association, said he had
no doubt but that it was true. He said that
Pomeroy was in the Wheeling district, and
ttat S. % would be the correct rate. He
bad heard nothing officially, but believed the
Gale mad been signed there, and drew there
from good angury of snccess of the
strike in Pittsburg. The scale was signed
at Leecheurg for the second time yesterday.
1t was signed before, but some hitch occurred
and the men who went 10 work on ii al the
time suspended operations. The scale was
signed yesterday, and 1t is supposed that it
will be entirely satisfactory 10 all parties to
the agreement. A Soulhside iron-worker,
who has been employed at the old Wharton
mill lately operated by the National Tube
Works, said to-day mat the manager had in-
formed some men that the scale would be
signed and the mill go into operation next
Monday. None Of the firm could be seen to-
night, but an attsehe placed no reliance in
the story. The Knights of Labor of this
district held a meeting to-day, the proceed
ings of which we're secret. 1t was stated
afIerward, however, that they had decided to
assist the striking miners pecuniarly.

THERE is no doubt in the public mind
that ex-Secrelar Robson is one of the most

on Naval Affairs, and in that position was

dence as to Robeson's turpitude. Yesterday
the latter made an attempt at reply in the
course of which he, in a left-handed way,
referred to a man who had stolen the school
fund of his State. Everyone in the House
knew that this reference was to Whitthorne
on account of his relations TO the State
(Confederate) government OF Tennessee, at
the close OF the war, and that gentleman did
not lose a moment in denouncing, in proper
terms, so cowardly an attack. Robson trisd
to crawl out of the responsibility by declar-
ing that he mentioned no names, but this did
not avail him. He was castigated, IS he de-
served, and he took his seat covered with the
contempt of everyone in the House.

The Wash ing'on correspondent OF the st.
Paul Pioneer Press, justified by what he con-
siders very good and sufficient" testimony,
expresses the opinion that the Star-route
prosecutions will end in grand fasco. The

want OF evidence. Dorsey, the leader of the
Shareholders, satisfied Of this, has emerged
from his shell and Is again one Of the gsyest

very Significantly, that "the whole Star-route
crowd went down the river on a picnic the
other day, chartering boat for the occa-
sion. The principal prosecution, and, it
is pleasantly said, witnesses and jurors,
were ircluded in the excursion. OF
course the latter assertion is TO be taken
with some allowance. There has been
some gossip, however, about the peo-
pie who did accept the Inequalities OF Dor
sey & Co, as indicating their re-establIsh-
ment on a social basis" In addition 10 this
evidence of Dorsey's returning glory, the
Pioneer-Press man says that an indisereet
friend of the ex-senator from Arkansas told
him that CHOSE Starroute charges will all
be quashed presently, and Dorsey will again
stand where he stood before, only stronger;
that Dorsey stands we'll at the White House,
and when this storm blows over he will have
only 10 ask the Pre- sident for what he de-
sires and it will be granted that Dorsey will

who have been traducing him, and he will
