HOADLY's QUICK DENIAL.
The Invention About Withdrawing
Stamped Out.

CINCINNATI, June 23.-1O the Editor OF
the World: When tie correspondent of
the Herald telegraphed that 81 had left
home in disgust and purpOsed to s'with-
draw from the ticket unless the manage
ment was put in different hands," he said
what was equally foolish and false.
The shallOwest observer of his kind
must admit that men, especially IN politi-
cal contests, are not apt to be 'sdiSgusted''
bv victory or withdraw from tickets in the
election of which they confidently and
sincerely believe.
L shall be obliged to the World for firm
ly and positively announcing that / have
no purpose whatever of Withdrawing. On
the contrary, desire it to be universally
understood that 1 shall make as active
and vigorous campaign as my health and
strength may permit against the cham
piOn of taxation as the source of wealth
and of force as the parent of temperance.
regarding the past as the best guide upon
which we can depend for progress in the
future.
/ wish further TO state that l believe
with all my heart and strength IN a new
and living Democracy, not in a fOssiliZed
and Bourbon Republicanism. In this
creed my own party and thousands of
hopeful Republicans are with me.
No one more gladly than l recognizes
the fact that my antagonist is a gentle
man and a man of culture and refinement,
but the party he represents is not party
of progress, unless of that progress which
leads to the absOlutism of mOnOpOlies and
corruption.
Our prospects are extremely favorable,
and it will not be the fault of the Ohio
Democracy if Democratic principles are
not popularity yindicated.

NO GREAT DEMAND FOR ARMS.
Stories of Large Orders from Foreign
Countries Denied.

Aee0 1OrE SI0ectdb, Iyth.
Manufacturers of arms and munitions
of war are unanimous in denying any un-
usual activity in their trade. A story
was published yesterday to the effect that
agents of China were supposed to be Civ
ing large orders. The general manager
of the Winchester Company said: SIf
that were the case do not think ! should
care to have it published; but can as
sure you, as fact, that no such orders
are being received in this country. There
is no large foreign demand for American
arms of any kind except from Russia,
Turkey and South America. Moreover
The trouble between France and China
would not lead at this time to buying Of
arms. Preparations for war are made
long in advance, not after hostilities have
begun"
The manager of the Winchester Com
pany spoke in the same way. 'sThere is
nothing whatever in the story,'' he said
''The trade is not livelier now than il has
been for the past two years. Every rife
factory has steady volume of business
which has not, for a long time, been
either increased or diminished"
"What becomes of all the guns?''
"1Ou might as well ask what becomes
of all the old pins. Nearly all the rifles
made in this country are sold West of the
Missouri river. Pistols 90 all lover the
country, but chiefly to the West and
South. There is steady market for dis
abled weapons. Certain contractors are
always ready to buy them, as well as old
cannon and old weapons and missiles of
every kind. These are furbished up,
cleaned and repaired, and then sent to
Africa and other half-civilized countries"
Several contractors for military sup
plies also declared that their trade was as
dull as it had ever been, and that they
knew nothing of any demand for arms for
China.

ARTHURs COLD SHOULDER.
New York Politicians Who Went to the
White House and Were Not Received
WnSb5D0fon CDacioI ed

EX-Collector Merritt, Mike Dady and
Barney Biglin, of New York, have been
at the capital for day or two, and their
presence naturally caused some comment.
1t was presumed that they came on a
political mission to see the President.
However that may be, they got the cold
shoulder from Mr.. Arthur, who kept them
kicking their heels in the ante room all
the first forenoon they called, and then
asked to be excused on the plea of press
ing duties. The New York statesmen
were very much miffed at their treatment,
but did not know what to do about it, so
they went back home.
A friend of the Presidents, when asked
about the significance of the visit, said {:
''No, there is no raid ON Collector Robert
son at the bottom of it. They would like
his head, OF course, but they are not the
source whence a successful attack upon
him could come. They are the leaders of
a crowd who assume to direct political
affairs in New York. They discuss mat
ters about the hotel lobbies for few
weeks and come to the conclusion all
around that some point in the situation
is worthy of the attention of General
Arthur. So down they come to Washing
ton, to the infinite annoyance of the
President. They receive no consolation,
and perhaps do not even see him, but
they go back and report to the boys that
they have done the best they could, and
the talk in the lobbies goes on. You need
not look for any changes in the Federal
offices resulting from this visitation"

CROOK GOING TO WASHINGTON

Wilcox Again Promised that Renegades
Shall Not Settle at San Carlos.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Gen. Crook
has been ordered to proceed to Washing
ton to consult as to the final disposition to
be made of the captured Apaches.
The following dispatch was received at
the Department of the Interior to-day
from Agent Wilcox, dated Wilcox, A. t.,
saying: ''Renegade Indians were forced
on the reservation yesterday. l shall ar
rive at San Carlos Tuesday," Secretary
Lincoln thinks that Agent Wilcox must
be in error, as he had given positive
orders to General Crook to keep
the renegades apart from the other
Indians. He added that he would reiterate
his orders to General Crook, as Wilcox is
distant nearly one hundred miles from San
Carlos. 1t is believed at the Indian Office
that Agent Wilcox has been misinf0rmed,

THURMAN CERTAIN OF SUCCESS.

COLUMBUS, June 23.-I reached Sena-
tor Thurman's residence this evening at
sunset, just as he and Mrs. Thurman
were descending the steps for an evening
walk along that beautiful and shady
street. The Senator's steps and bearing
were unusually jaunty, and Mrs. Thur
mans luXuriant silver hair was in
strange contrast with the girlish clear
ness and freshness of her complexion.
ssThis is an interview, of COURSE" said
the Senator. 81 told you the other day
that my views were worth no more than
other peoples. However, man Oughn't
TO be niggardly when what he has to give
away is without value. Let us walk
along under the naples and tell me what
il is that you want to know"
As we walked along asked: Senator,
what do you think of the strength of the
ticket nominated on Thursday last?'
II do not think that there are any ele-
ments of weakness in it. OF course it is
well-knOwn that / was anxious to see
General Durbin Ward nominated. This
was largely because felt that unseltish
and heroic Democrat was entitled to the
honor and the reward impliH# by q nOmi-
nation for Governor by the ONO Democra-
cy in 1888. For, mark you, the nomination
is equivalent to an election"
ssDO you think sop
II haven't the slightest doubt of it,"
said the Senator, and he emphasized his
remarks by striking his hickory cane
violently on the ground. "Ihe mere per
sOnaIity Of the candidates amounts to Dut
little in the campaign. 1t is the Demo
cratic party that is strong, not its candl-
dates"
@Do yOu regard Mr.. Hoadly as the
strongest candidate that could have been
namedY" - -
ssFrankly, no; but he is not weak be-
cause the Democratic party is strong. by
heavens, sir, when you look at the nlgh-
handed robbers among the Republican
leaders and see them vindicated and sere-
naded by the residuary legatees of their
criminal cOnspiracies, and reflect tnat
nothing stands between the peOpls ana the
absolute spOliation of the government put
the Democratic party, it is easy 10 unaer-
stand why that party has become prac'io-
ally irresistible"
s1Then you anticipate DemOcratic VIZ
tory in Ohio this fall!' ,....
stYes- sir. would have made different
ticket If the matter had been lett 10 me;
but that is neither here nor there. A party
is only successful when 1t is stronger IMAM IMAM
its leaders. The acquittal OF tne aL stel
route cOnspiratOrs has driven lhousonIis lho'is
ofhonest Republicans into the Democratic
,anks- and the accessiOns will continue.
You can saytO the World that regard
tho state ticket put in nomination On
Thursday as a strong one, and that there
can hardly be a doubt about its election;
ssBut still, wanted TO see General era
Ward Governor, and l think thai ne S;ss;,, ~,,i

At this point the Senator and Mrs

An Unsuspecting Audience Barring thei

An Unsuspecting Audience Barring their
Only Means of Escape.
LONDON, June 25.-In the town of Der
Wis, on the shore of Lake Como, while a
performance was in progress at a puppet
theatre the structure took fire and was
entirely destroyed. FOrty-seven persons
lost their lives and twelve others were in
jured.
The show was Eeld in large hall over a
tavern. There were ninety persons in the
hall. A Bengal light was used to repre-
sent fire, and the sparks from this set
fire to a quantity of straw and firewood
stored in an adjacent room. On perceiv-
ing the flames the Snowman shouted fire,
but the spectators thought that
the cry was merely a realistic de-
tail of the show and remained
seated. Cries of fire were soon
raised outside the hall, and the audience,
thinking that an affray had arisen in the
street, barred with a heavy table a.dOor
leading from the hall. They did not dis
cover their mistake till the flames burst
into the room. After the fire was eX-
tinguished forty-seven charred cOrpses
were found near the table, including the
bodies of the Snowman and his wife.

RICHMOND, June 25.-There is no truth
as far as is known here in the reported
| meeting between Messrs. Beirne and
Elan. The last reports upon which any
reliance can be placed locate the men too
far apart, and the arrangements too in
complete for a personal meeting to-day.
Captain Page McCarty and William l..
Royal, friends of Mr.. Beirne, and Colonel
A. w. Jones and j. w. Minetree, friends
of MIR. Elam, had quite long conference
here to-day. The result is not known,
but it is believed that arrange
ments for the meeting are nearly,
If not entirely completed 1t
is positively asserted that Mr.. Elam has
been in Richmond since yesterday, and
that he left the city tonight, probably en-
route for a new place of meeting. Messrs.
'sMcCarty and Royal were seen on the
street at various times to-day, and this
has given rise to the impression that
when the fight comes off, Mr.. Beirne will
be seconded by these gentlemen, and that
their appearance on the streets was for
the purpose of ayerting suspicion. Some
stirring news in this affair may be looked
for tomorrow. RumOrs prevailed to-day
that a meeting had already taken place
with fatal results, and numerous tele-
grams of inquiry from different points
again aroused the entire community, and

liable to seizure and sale. Fourteen
judgment creditors, stock dealers and
brokers, who sold and purchased the stock,
are commanded and ordered to re-
store the bonds to the city, which, together
with the dividends since 1879, amounts to
$500, 900.

President of Manley, Cooper & Co., of
Philadelphia, to-day gave the Hill inves-

the manner in which the bribe was offered
him to withdraw his bid for iron shutters

Sawyer Allison, attorney for Man
ley, Cooper Il Co., was present when the
offer of $4,000 to withdraw the bid was

rOborated Mr.. Manley's testimony. Mr..

price. He gave il as his opinion that his
competitors could have paid $4,000 for
his contract and still made money.
Mr.. Hill was crOSs-eXamined as to
whether he had any business relations
with Mr.. Damon, who represented parties
who wished to secure the contract for the
shutters, and who is charged with having
