pubIicans.

The Battle Which Follows Goes
Against the Whilom Boss.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Mahone IS
having great deal of trouble with Col.
w. E. SIMS, formerly one of his lieuten-
ants and an employe of the United States
Senate. Malone found when he got to
Chicago that he could not deliver the Vir-
ginla delegation sOlidly to Arthur as he
had promised. Sims, a Blaine man.
would not vote for Arthur, and he used
his influence with the other delegates sue
cessfully to prevent them from voting for
Arthur. Malone, who cannot tolerate
even mild difference of opinion, was
exceedingly angry and stOrmed at
Sims so that they parted enemies. Sims
told Malone that he would appeal to the
Republican managers. for support after
the convention, so the friends Of Sims say.
Malone called at the headquarters of the
Republican National Committee in New
York and announced to the committee
that If Sims was recognized by it in any
way that it must get on in Virginia with
out Malone, since the latter would not
lift his tingeri in the campaign. Meanwhile
Sims had gathered around him not
only the straightOut Republican lead
ers, but all the Readjusters who were
dissatisfied with Mahone's despOtic rule,
When he appeared before the Republican
National Committee he was well re-
ceiyed, in spite of Mahone's warning. He
proclaimed war upon Malone. Neyerthe-
less the committee gave a general ap-
proyal to his plans for the campaign. A
proposition to start a Republican cam
paign newspaper with Sims as editor is
said to have been fayOrably discussed.
so cordial was his reception that
Mahone's friends have taken fright, and
are beseeching Sims to agree to a treaty
of peace with Malone. Sims seems to de-
light in posing as a bigger man than
Malone, and so far has not yielded.

BLAINE's RECORD.
A Test of Blaine's Civil Service Reform
Professions While Speaking.


Professions While Speaking.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald calls attention to the following
points in Blaine's civil service record:
First. When Mr.. Blaine was reelected
Speaker Of the House of Representatives
in December, 1873, he introduced the
practice and set the example, afterward
followed by Speaker Keiter, of making up
the standing committee on the reform of
the civil service in such manner that a
large majority of its members were hostile
TO the reform. Among them was Ben
Butler. The only member of the COM
mittee appointed by Mr. Blaine who was
interested in the reform was Mr.. Willard,
Of Vermont.
Second. Blaine's conduct as Speaker in
1873, as his professions now, met the
hearty approval Of his friend and ad-
mirer, Gen. Joseph r. Hawley, of Con-
necticut. In an editorial article in the
Hartford C0urdnt, printed at that time,
Gen. Hawley used the following language: |:
"Alr. Blaine is most to be congratulated
in the adaptation of means to an end in
the construction of the Committee on the
Reform of the Civil Service. There can be
no doubt about what that will do, Con-
gress being determined not to surrender
its recently acquired privilege OF select
ing the agents of the Executive depart
ment, and being determined that civil APP
pOintments shall be made as q reward for
party service, and that the farce of the
reform of the civil service shall end"

Troables OF the spinnors.

LONDON, July 23.-The annual report
Of the Northern Spinners' Association
has just been made public. 1t states
that the cotton trade has not been pros
porous during the past year. 1t draws
attention to the competition offered by the
growing spinning industry in India, and
declares that this competition is becom-
ing serious. The trade also suffers con-
stantly and heavily, it says, from the
presence of dampness and sand in bales.
Moreover, there has lately been a serious
admiXture of inferior cotton in bales pur-
porting to be of the higher quality. The
report urges the Importance Of strict ex-
animation of bales when opened.

ocala the Scene of a 5000. 900 Crash.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-H. P. Robinson
& Bro, keepers Of a general store and
bankers at Ocala, Fla, have made an as
signment, with liabilities of about $780,
600. The firm was composed of Harvey P.
and Frank c. Robinson, and was origi-
nally branch of Saunders & Co., Of
Gainesville, Fla. 1t was managed by II.
T. Robinson, but in 1875 the present firm
was made up.
CRIPPLED BY BANKS.
ST. LOUIS, July 23.-The extensive dry
goods house of Wear, Boogher 4 Co. as
signed this forenoon. The assets are
given at about $500, 900, embracing goods
and merchandise. There are S44O,OO0 in
open accounts; in bills receivable, S175,-
GOO, and in other matters $1,000, The
liabilities are not definitely known, but
aggregate about $3.50, ZOO. The cause of
the assignment was the refusal of New
York banks to make the customary ad-
yances. The firm states that if time is
given them to realize on the actual pro-
perty IN hand they will not only pay in
null, but have handsome surplus. About
20 per cent. of their Indebtedness is in
New York. Boston and Providence. The
only large creditor here is the st. Louis
National Bank for $25, GOO.
THE RUBBER CoMPANY's EMBARRAss-
AIENT.
PROVIDENCE, II. l., July 23.-Gov.
Bourne, Treasurer of the National Rub
Der Company, states the circum-
stances of the embarrassment and the
provision to meet it as follows: The
outstanding papers of the company on
July l were $497 900. Then, after the
failure Of Grant S Ward and general
shutting down of credit, the
banks refused to renew, and other
measures of relief became neces-
sary. A meeting of the directors
and stockholders of the company was
held, and a proposition was made to issue
mortgage bonds to the amount of $3.50, 900
on real estate worth upwards of 81, ,OOO, 900.
This, after some delay, was acceded to by
the stockholders, and bonds were issued
to the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Com
pany as trustee, and are now ready
for delivery. The negotiations have been
completed for taking up a considerable
portion of them, and there is a favorable
prospect of speedy acceptance of the
full amount. Reports that the company
had closed its works are incorrect, and
originated from the fact that last week it
shut down the manufacture of clothing
and druggists supplies, for which the de-
mand has been dull for some months.
