WASHINGTON, July l0.-Samuel B. Kerr,
of Indiana, who is son of the late Speaker
Kerr, and rising young Democratic poll
tician, is in Washington. Being asked to-
day whether there is any truth in the re-
ports that Mr.. Hendricks and his friends
are disposed to throw obstacles in the way
of ex-senator McDonalds candidacy for
the Presidency, Mr.. Kerr replied: 81 hope
not and think not. l believe there is q
we'll settled conviction among Indiana
Democrats that if they are to have a rep
resentatiye on the national ticket next
year, it must be in the person of Joseph
E. Mcdonald. am not in -a-positioa 10
know what are the private, personal de-
sires or dispositions OF Mr.. Hendricks and
his friends in this matter, but l am very
sure that neither he nor they will seriously
antsgonize or embarrass the candidacy of
Mr.. Mcdonald. / believe that the
Indians Democrats
will be at the next national convention
solidly and enthusiastically urging his
nomination, and that the delegates will go
instructed to do So"
do you know of any Influential Demo-
Gratis in Indiana who favor the old ticketY'
IL do not. Unless the lately published
interview with Mr.. Hendricks can be de-
pended upon, do not know OF any senti.
ment in our State in favor Of the old tick
et."
Respecting the probable Democratic
nominee for Governor OF Indiana, Mr.. Keer
after mentioning the names of General
Manson, Congressman Holman and several
others said: There is something of a
sentiment in favor of having the conven-
ton meet, nominate Mr.. Hendricks and
Force the Nomination
upon him by adjourning at once; but do
not think that course practicable. | do not
believe Mr.. Hendricks could be induced to
accept the nomination for Governor under
any circumstances"
Are there any differences among Indiana
Democrats respecting the tariff >" Mr.. Kerr
was asked.
"Of conrse there are. just as there are
among Republicans. | think, however,
that the platform of tine Ohio Democracy
upon that subject will he entirely salts
factory TO the Indiana Democrats"
Mr.. Kerr was asked about the Speaker
ship, but said be only knew that the Repre-
sentative from his district, Mr.. StoCkslager,
is in favor of Mr.. Carlisle.

Their Demands are not SatiAfied.

ST. LOUIS, July l0.-The Post Dispatch
announced this evening, on what it con-
siders reliable authority, but which has
not yet teen verified, that the Brother.
hood of Telegraphers will inaugurate a
general strike at noon next Monday. 1t is
said there are upward OF 5000 operators
in the Brotherhood, and if they go out
the result will be hardly less than public
calamity. 1t is not known now whether
any direct demands have been made on
the telegraph company, but tits alleged one
will be presented embracing seven hours
as nights work, and extra pay for Sun
day work and greater uniformity Of,
if not higher wages. 1t is said
that the Brotherhood is strongly
opposed to the introduction of any girls or
women in the business. Telegraph officials
have no definite information regarding the
reported movement, and evince no disposi.
tion to talk about it at the general office OF
the brotherhood at Pittsburgh and it is
understood all orders or edicts will be
issued from that place.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 10.-The large
number of candidates for State Treasurer
and Auditor General is bringing to the
State capital more people than were at
first expected would be here. Each candi-
date has friends and has made it his busi-
ness to see that some OF them are on the
scene of battle to contribute to his sue
cess. The candidates number about a
dozen and half, good majority OF whom
want to preside over the treasury. These
men are moving about briSkly among the
delegates in the city and trying to get
their work in. Their progress has not
been very satisfactory, owing to the abb
sence Of many delegates, although nearly
all OF them profess to have hope OF OBJ
tanning
for which they are contending. 1t seems
TO be pretty well settled that representa-
tive Niles, of Tioga county, will be noml-
mated for auditor general. As Niles was
nominated for the Legislature as an lnde-
pendent Republican, the regulars are in
clined to make him the candidate IN the
hope that the Independents will accept the
nomination as an evidence OF good Will
from the majority to the minority. The

sory Precaution.
To the Editor Of The Register:
RuNcEvERrE, Greenbrier County, W. Va,
July I'm parts of West Virginia there
has been an alarming outbreak OF small
po1, which is now happily subsiding.
Would there have been so much panic had
vaccination been more general? The anti
vaccination says that vaccination IS no pro
lection against smallpox. If he could once
make that good the whole controversy
would speedily end; the Justification OF
State interference TO enforce vaccination
would be demolished. But how stand the
facts of the case? The annual mortality
from smallpox during the eighteenth CEN
tury in England and Wales was sou per
l,O0O, 600 of the population. In lSfO this
rate OF mortality had decreased to 6OO per
l 900, 600. In lS4l the State devoted funds
IN the announcement OF vaccination, and
the death rate declined to sos per l,OOO,OOO
In 1871 a compulsory law in Great Britain
WAS enacted. Since then the average an.
nual mortality from smallpox has decreased
until il is l53 per 100000; In every
% 900 of the population, as against . IN
every coo before vaccination was intro
duced. .,
Anotner lifustfhtiohs
OF the German soldiers who took part in
the war with France in 1870, all OF whom
we're re-vaccinated before being put in the
field, just 26S died from smallpox; while OF
the French soldiers, most OF whom had not
been vaccinated, more than 5000 sue
cumbed to the disease. The rigid enforce
ment of re-yaccination in the English
amy and postal service have resulted IN
slmost entirely extirpating the disease
tion on the part Of the operators, and the
use of pure lymph, the very possibility OF
disease by vaccination can
be absolutely excluded. Why should not
sny State in this great land make yaccins-
tion compulsory. and the government sup
ply skilled experts TO vaccinate the lleges.
