Secretary Mcpherson receives encouraging let
tiers by every mail and large number OF applica-
tions for documents, financial, educational, and
upon the tariff question. He got letter from Mis-
souri, last evening from one of the Missouri party
managers, saying that the republicans and green
packers mad effected a fusion In the state and had
a good fighting chance as the democrats are not
harmonious. The nominees for governor and the
principal state offices are ex-confederates and
there Is want OF harmony between the wing OF
element during the rebellion.
Mr. Mcpherson says that II the fusion Is earnest
ana 10 good faith 1t will make things bad for the
democrats in the state In 1870 the democrats car
r1ed the state by 5000 over Garfield and by about
10000 over what would have been the combined
vote OF the greenbackers and republicans. The
greenDack VoJe that year was 80 135, the republican
vote and the democratic vote 2O8 6O9 Since
then there have been number Of things operating
6y the fusion, should it prove earnest, and full
discussion OF the tariff in the copper and other
mineral regions, to give the democrats hard fight
In the state, heretofore so secure to them.
letter has been received at republican head
quarters from Edward H. Green, an Old democratic
P stump speaker OF 1nfiana, who says he has made
more democratic speeches in southern Indiana than
any other man living, except, probably, Judge
Holman, but intends now to support Blaine and
Logan and do all he can honorably to secure their
election. He says that with the exception Of 1872
he has uniformly supported the democracy; repre-
Sehtei MS county as democrat In the state legS-
lature and as mayor OF Aurora for two terms. He
claims that Union soldier is out OF the anES when
with the democracy, referring to the action of the
democratic House last session concerning the Mex
can pension bill, and predicts that the republicans
hard for 1t.

The National Museum and the Exposi.
tiOnS.
TUITION is TO BE REPRESENTED At NEW ORLEANS.
The work Of packing boxes OF exhibits for the
Cincinnati exposition was going On to-day at the
National Museum and the old Armory building,
from which point the boxes were loaded upon the
cars. All of the boxes will be shipped to-day.
The act providing for sending exhibits to Cincin-
natl and Louisville was passed so late in the session
that the officials OF the National museum had very
little time for preparation. SO the exhibit sent to
Louisville and Cincinnati are not complete as it
Is expected that the New Orleans exhibit will be.
Inc gentlemen in charge have aimed only to send
collection that viii interest visitors without special
regard to the scientific value OF the collections.
The plan OF the exhibit at New Orleans has not
yee yfh,te oeen La completed; ND ts Heretofore the ex-
different places have been OF Industrial charac
ter At New Orleans, however, as the Industrial
departments will be supplied with material by the
oiherent government bureaus, the National Mu-
scum will be represented in Its character as scen-
tc institution. An effort is being made to present
there complete exhibit Of the mineral and animal
resources OF the country. 1t is proposed to show
specimen or every vertebrate known in the coun-
try, and to give very complete exhibition in other
departments OF the natural history of the country.
