A Cincinnati Blaze,

CINCINNATI, Sept. 3.-Shortly be-
fore three o'clock this afternoon a
fire broke out in the lower story of
McCaull's five story rag ware house,
in Walnut street near Sixth. It ran
up the elevator in a twinkiing and
communicated with Drehman's rag
warehouse, same size, on the north
and with the upper room of the
Times Star newspaper office on the
south. The two warehouses were al
most burned out and the upper rooms
of the Times Star, including the COM
posing rooms, were also burned out.
RumOrs of the loss of life cannot be
verified.

DON CARLOS.

Don Carlos, the pretender to the
Spanish throne, now occupied by
Alfonso, is in New York City. The
~gentleman's visit to this country is
purely one of observation and pleas
ure. no political significance being
attached to it whatever. Like other
foreign gentlemen who have worn
crowns only in their dreams and who
have put foot upon the soil of free
America Don Carlos does not
choose to be known by his superior
title and modestly assumes one Of the
many minor ones belonging to his fam
ily-that of tho Duke of Msntpensier.
An inquisitive gentleman-probably
a reporter-sounded the Don on the
subject of his movements, etc. His
reply would do credst to the shrewd-
est Of American politicians. II may
tell you frankly" said tho pretender,
"what you know, of course, in a gen.
eral way that as the head of the Catho-
lie party in Spain, I should not feel
at liberty to disregard the summons
of my friends and supporters to take
part again in the agitation and con-
ficts that disturb my native country,
if it appeared on canvassing the stu
alton that there was q fair prospect of
success, but I should not care to re-
peat the failure of 1873 in a second
campaign to assert my heritage, or
to wage a losing contest which would
only compromise the prospects of
the old Catholic and Legitimate par
ty without advancing mypretensions
in any way" which, boiled down,
means that he will again assert his
pretensions to the throne of Spain
when the time is ripe for the venture,
aud his friends and supporters signi-
fy their willingness and prove their
to aid HIM.

TIE REAL

Notwithstanding the platitudee
from time to time engrafted a planka
into the platform of "the party Of
high moral IDEAS" the revelations
occasionally made by disafected Re.
publican leaders, indicate that The
greed Of lucre has taken strong hold
upon the average Republican voter;
and the broadside of letters from
Dorsey's waste basket, recently pub
lished by the New York San makes
it apparent that their entire platform
for the next presidential election
might be covered by thesingle plank,
which seems to have carried item
safely over the last campaign, viz:
1--WE want money" The party
leaders who wrote i. the Dor
sey letters in 1880 are singularly
unanimous and harmonious upon
this point.
Blaine writes to Dorsey that in fail
ing to send money to Maine he is
"imperiling the whole campaign"
Allison writes to Jewell: money
must be had and must be sent to
Indiana"
Stewart Woodford writes to Jewell
from West Virginia: "With $25, 600
Sturgis and Atkinson can make an
effective campaign"
John F. Lewis, Mahone's lieuten-
ant, writes: The expenditure of $780,
600 will insure the electoral vote of
Virginia for Garfield and Arthur.
Help US, Cassius, or we sink" ~
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, writes to
Dorsey: "Put money in thy purse"
The truly good" Deacon Richard
Smith, of the Cincinnati CARTE,
writes: "There should be $50, 900 |
jadiciously placed in each of these
states (Ohio and Indiana) within the
next ten days."
Charlie Foster, sometimes known
as Calico Charlie, says that he has
given the question some attention
and that "we ought to have $40, 600
$4,000 of it for Cleveland"
The Massachusetts reformers,
through John M. Forbes, sent money
to West Virginia and Indiana.
John G. New called a'oud for
