VINEYARD HAVEN, MASS; August 12.-
This town was almost entirely destroyed
by FIRE last night. A public meeting was
held at Cottage City to-day at which re-
lief cesmittee OF twenty.one prominent
residents and visitors was appointed.
This afternoon the committee issued the
following appeal: An APPALLING calamity has
befalleu the village OF Vineyard Haven.
A confagration last night swept away the
entire business portion OF the place
excepting one store, and destroyed over
thirty dwelling houses, thus throwing out
OF occupation and home hundreds OF per-
SONS who lost everything. Many Of these
homeless ones are widows and orphans,
and all in need OF immediate assistance.
Contributions Of food, clothing or money
addressed to Captain James L. Smith,
Treasurer, Vineyard Haven, Mass, will be
thankfully received by the relief commit-
tee. (signed) WM. II. ARSow,. .,,,
ha Chairman.
The fire was checked this morning. The
village is sad sight, and being visited by
thousands from all parts OF the island and
from the main land. The loss is esnma.

The Demands Of fhe democratic Organs
N -APreity Quarrel.
CoLuMpus, August 1.-THE ROhemian,
independent Democrat, says that at tie
present time a big lght is going on in the
Democratic Committee, growing out OF the
demands for patronage by the various
would-be organs. It is claimed that the
Cleveland Plain Bealer and Columbus
Times are already raising a storm because
they are not recognized by the Committee,
and charge that much patronage has been
given to the Enguirer with view to win
ming that paper over to the support OF
Hoadly, but that Mclean still allows his
correspondents to write as they please,
and that the Democratic cause is going
down by this procedure. 1t seems that
the main reason why the committee print
ing was given TO the Enquirer was that a
majority Of the committee are ant. i.Pendle.

PHILADELPHIA, August lin speaking
OF the proceedings OF the Amalgamated
Association the Pres says: 1t was conf
dentally asserted last evening that Hon.
William Weihe, OF Pittsburgh, whose can
didacy was mentioned in yesterdays Pres,
can succeed jarrett II he SO desires. He is
by all odds the largest man in the Conyen-
ton, standing nearly seven feet in his shoes.
He possesses jolly disposition, stands in
good favor among the Pennsylvania and
Ohio delegates, has thorough knowledge
Of the labor question, particularly in SO far
as 1t affects the Amalgamaled Association,
and has the strong point in his favor Of
being member OF the State Legislature.
Some OF the delegates have chatfed him
considerably. over his action in drawing
the $40 per day extra pay as a member Of
the Legislature while he Is In Philadelphia,
but he laughs and never loses his temper.
He Is in thorough sympathy with Presi.
dent jarrett, and will follow out the same
line Of action in the future as has been pur-
sued by this most esteemed and qualified
chief executive in the past. He mas the
entire confidence Of the present officers and
trustees, and 1t is doubtful II q more ac-
ceptable candidate could be found. Asyet
he has manifested no disposition to refuse
the position II rendered to him. Secretary
Martin, the only other candidate whose
chances now seem worthy Of serious atten-
tion, is known as deep thinker, and a
man who, above all things, pays exclusive
attention to his own business. He has
rendered the Association valuable services.
Since the Convention opened the busiest
man by all odds has been President Jar.
rett. He knows every delegate by name,
and manages to give all some share Of his
personal attention. 1t is this amiability,
Joined to his appreciated qualities rs q
leader, that has rendered him 80 popular.

the route the glorious Wind river and

a restiulness to the eye Of the travellers,
who are pursuing their way across the dried
and heated neSdS. Below the camp on
Spring Greek it is delightful, however,

places, good water and grass. To the east

noted landmark Of Wind River Valley,

This dispatch has to leave by couriers at
three this afternoon, so no reports can be
made to-day Of the results obtained by the
fishermen. The camp is named Camp
Vest in honor EX-SENATOR Vest, who is one Of
the mort enthusiastic and successful anglers
OF the party. After my dispatch yesterday

The proposed Republican conference

views on the matter from those we ex.
pressed last week, The Sentinel may al

Of the Republican party, and while We do
