FEMALE REPUBLICANS.

NEW YORK, July 31.-Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony,
president AID vice president OF the
national wofnan'S suffrage association,
have issued an address to members
making some suggestions to workers
why they should remain steadfastlY
with the political party, that for the
last quarter of century has most
faithfully Represented the fundamen-
tai principles of republican govern
ment. The address says: AT the
opening of the next session, with our
bills and reports, waiting their turn
on the calendars of both houses, it is
to the republicans we must look for
discussion and division on our ques-
lions, and, did they constitute two
thirds majority, we should confident
ly hope for the passage OF resolutions
To submit the 18th amendment; but we
have nothing to expect from any of
the other parties, now struggling into
existence. AS to the greenback and
anti-monopoly parties, with their
Quasi recognition of woman's polltl-
cal equality and the rank and file OF
Seeding democrats, and workingmen
who will constitute his supporters.
Hon. B. F. Butler would be powerless
to help US. Prohibition is thus
disposed of: to make woman suffrage
the tail of their kite, is to defy the
laws of gravitation. Prohibition
could not secure woman suffrage, but
woman suffrage is the only power by
which prohibition could be made pos
sible.
Those who demand the recognition
of God in the constitution are remind
ed by the address that the best recog

THE CATTLE DISEASE.

CHICAGO, July 31.-No more dis
eased cattle have arrived at the
stock-yards to day. The rumor,
could be ira 3ed to no reliable source,
that the infected herd contained To-
600, and the intention was TO ship
them to market as fast as the cars
could be secured. 1t was learned, dur
ing the day that agents of the Texas
Pacific, I'M Missouri, were refusing to
receive cattle for shipment to Chicago
and st. Louis.
Mr.. FL. NJ Hoxie, of the Wabash
road, was telegraphed concerning the
matter and replied that this action
was the result of misunderstanding
of orders and that it had been
remedied,
The Live Stock exchange met this
aftt and appointed committee
to prepare for publication a statement
for the benefit of subscribers. The
report has not yet been made, but the
committee gave the following points
to representative of the press:
The consisnments already received
are the only infected cattle
brought to these Yards; that these
cattle had q preponderance of
native blood, and were what
are known as ";hree-quarters or high
blood Colorado.:" that they were
taken from the panhandle of Texas
near the south boundary of the Terri
tory, and wintefed there, crossing the
trail of Texas cattle on the way; that
had they been kept on good food and
water the disease would not have de.
veloped in them; that other cattle
! could not become infected from con-
tact with the m; that the infected cat
tie at Manhattan, Kas., were sold from
the same herd as those brought here
that none of these infected
animals brought by members

shipments of any of their carcases t.
other cities as dressed beef.

GALVESTON.

GALVESTON, July 31.-A large and
enthusiastic meeting was held, to-
ngiht in artillery hall, to ratify the
nomination of Cleveland and Hend-
ricks for president and vice pre- 3ident,
and Hon. w. H. Grain, nominee for
congress in the 18th congressional dis
trict. Stirring and eloquent speeches
were delivered by Hon. Seth Sheperd,
Maj. McLemore, Hon. r. G. Street,
G. A. Levy of Victoria, and
others. Hon. DIN Wellborn was
present, but too unwell to address the
meeting. Every alluslon to the names
of The national standard bearers or
congressional nominee was enthusi-
astically cheered. ALI the speakers
earnestly appealed to the democracy
of Galveston to stand firm, work har-
moniously for the election of Cleve-
land and Hendricks, and the redemp-
ton of the congressional district from
republican control.

men 1as George William Curtis, Jane
Freeman Clark and Thomas Went
worth Higginson, have come down
from their high moral plat
form to swamp their votes with
the democratic party. The re-
suit of this last secession,
were its proportions equal to its YER
tuouS professions. would be to throw
the administration of the government
into the hands of the democratic party
not into those of Cleveland who,
though he were possessed of all the
cardinal virtues claimed, and, in addi-
ton thereto, the GROWING excellence
Of adhesion to the great principles of
the great political freedom of woman,
he could do nothing for any reform,
with congress constituency, nine
tenths of whom are blind and bitter
opponents of all liberal measures.
Suppose, on the other hand, the re-
publican candidate, James G. Blaine,
were wanting in all public and private
virtues, with congress and a constitu-
ency, three-fourths of whom are
friends, he could do nothing to hinder
the passage of the amendment. But
he is friendly. His name stands Sec
ond with the "ayes" on all questions
affecting the interests of woman,
brought before congress- for many
years. Thus in Mr.. Blaine we have
nominee in harmony with the repub-
lican majority in congress; hence our
hope of securing the initiative step
to make suffrage for woman the SUI
preme law of triumph of the republi-
cans.
For these reasons, as we have no
votes to offer, we should give our
conscientious support to the
republican party.

NEW TELEGRAPH.

GALVESTON, July 31.-Mr. David
Hall, joint superintendent of the Bal
timore 81 Ohio, and Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe company, returned from
New York to-day, and states that a
contract has been entered into be-
tween the above named companies for
very extensive competing system
of telegraph throughout this state.
The Santa Fe company will immedi-
ately put up additional lines along
their lines of railway between Calves
ton, Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth,
! and extend their system to Austin,
San Antonio, Waco, and other impor-

GOV. CLEVELAND AT HIS
DESK.

GOV. Cleveland was ut his desk
again early this morning and at once
! resumed work. He is methodicaI in
his habits and seldom lets the work of
the day go over to the morrow, often
remaining at work until midnight.
Among those who called upon the
Governor to-day WAS Gen. Rosecrans,
OF California, with whom he had a
conversation. After their interview
Gen. Rosecranse said it was the first
time ne had met Gov. Cleveland, and
his impression of him was that he was
thorough, earnest, capable man.
When questioned as to the rumors
that he would not support Gov. Cleye-
istnt, Gen. RoSecranS warmly replied:
Il was democrat of pronounced and
clearly defined opinions before Gov.
Cleveland was born. 1t is publicly
known that l have stood by these
opinions against temptations of inter-
est and preferment, at a sacrifice
of opportunities for personal advance
lnent, offered for abandonment of
then. OF course [ shall support the
ticket; and, more than that, shall
support it with the firm hope and be-
lief that the democratic party will
now begin a new era in its political
life; that it will organize in such a
manner that every unit of the pro-
ducing classes can find in it an oppor-
tunity of impressing fair considera-
ton of his views, and interpose these
views and interest. In short, that
this campaign will be the beginning
of a declaration of independence of
the voters of the producing classes
from the slavery of capitalistic domi-
nation and dictation. 1t looks to me
as though the campaign would be
made by reasonable and fair appeals
to the judgment of the voters rather
than by attempting to address their
prtjudices, passions and feelings. 1t
has been the custom of politicians to
secure their ends by appeals to the
prejudices and passions of voters, and
by resorting to noise and display,
professions, cannon-firing, music and
boisterous excitement. Voters have
no interests to justify their
being herded and driven to the polls

Work on the Texas division will be

CAMPAIGN TOPICS.

Since Governor Cleveland was inter-
viewed by the Herald correspondent,
a few minutes after his nomination
for the presidency, he has not openly
discussed the points of the great ma
tional contest in which he makes one
of the two central figures. The gov
ernor evidently believes that it is be-
meath his dignity to rush into print"
at every important period of the can
Vass.
1t is understood here that the gov
errors letter of acceptance will be
short, probably making about one col
umn of the Herald. 1t will conse-
quently be very different, in this res
pect, to the long winded productions of
Messrs. Blaine and Logan. The COM
mittee of the national convention ap
pointed to notify Governor Cleveland
of his nomination, is expected in Al.
bany Tuesday next. They will be re-
ceived at the executive manson, on
Eagle street.
CHAIRMAN MANNING's WORK.
Mr.. Daniel Manning is daily con-
graduated on the result OF his efforts
at Chicago in.the interest of Governor
Cleveland. Even his enemies con-
cede that his management was at
once adroit and dignifed. These facts
have raised Mr.. Manning very high
in the opinion of political leaders
throughout the country, and as they
pass through Albany they take occa-
sion to compliment him on his sue
cess. Mr.. Manning, besides being
chief proprietor of the Argus, is also
president of the Commercial bank, of
this city. The bank is located on
State street. Here the democratic
leader may now be found daily, seated
in neatly furnished room at the rear
of the business department of the
bank.
PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Your correspondent has talked fire.
uuently with the gentleman both be-
fore and after the Chicago convention,
but he is decidedly aversc to being
quoted in the newspapers. To-day he
exhibited the same determination.
81 can say, however" remarked Mr..
Manning, that the campaign is
progressing as hopefully and earnest
ly as can be expected. l think Gov
Cleveland is stronger now than he
was the day of his nomination"
you look uponi it, then, as a growing
canvass ?"
Undoubtedly"
"Why?"
"Well, the masses begin to thorough
Iy understand the false nature of the
attacks made upon the Governor
Campaign ISLANDERS always reac
against those who propagate them"
you will open vigorous cam
paign, L presume2"
"Yes, we are just now getting t
work. The national committee meet
in New York to-day, and, as you
know, we have just designated al
active executive committee from GU
state committee. TIE first document
will go out tomorrow"
do you know what Mr.. John Kel
ly's course will be"
Il do not"
"Or General Buffers ?"
NO"
Mr.. Manning has not been in tn
best of health, but now looks VigoI
Gus. He informed your correspondent
some time ago that had it not no
been for his friendship for Governo
Cleveland as presidential candidat
he would have retired at once from a
active political life.

UNION STOCK YARDS, CHICAGO,
ILLS, July 30-No further develop
ments regarding the Texas fever.
The diseased cattle have been slaught-
cred and condemned, and no fresh ar
rivals. Those unaffected in the lot have
been sold to LEGAL butchers, subject to
rigid inspection. No other cattle in
the yards have been affected in the
least. The sick cattle, it is asserted,
do not communicate the disease
known as Texas fever. That malady
comes from thorough Texans, which
are never affected themselves. AS
the disease was brought here by i'm
proved cattle, and not by stock direct
from Texas, no further trouble, so far
as other cattle are concerned, is ap-
pretended.
The conference between DR.. Paaren
and the governor lasted an hour.
The veterinarian received instruc-
tions to proceed to Jacksonville and
investigate the disease He was also
ordered to conduct a minute and tech

CATHEDRAL WORK.

The ancient adobe structure that
tor 200 years has served as the princi-
pat house of worship in Santa Fe is
being RACED to the ground by large
force of workmen to-day. Orders
have been issued to push the
new stone edifice to completion
this fall, and to this end the
contractors are working with all their
might. The walls of the old cathe-
dral constitute an interesting archi
tectural study. They are six feet in
thickness and the timbers used as
keys in the wall are as firm to-day as
when first placed two centuries ago.
Many relic hunters are preserving
sections of the adobes that form this
aged edifice. The debris is being re-
moved to the Rio Santa Fe and will
be scattered along the bank in order
to give the street a better elevation.
The stained glass windows represent
ing the twelve apostles which are to
be placed in the new cathedral, will
be shipped from France this summer.

There may be possibility that the
disease is spreading. He says it
was well that the infected
cattle were brought to Chicago in
stead of being dropped along the way
on the prairie, or at small villages.
Here suspected animals could be
killed and carted to the rendering es-
adjustments. Only Kansas City and
Chicago have such facilities for dispos-
ing OF sick cattle without danger.
There is no occasion whatever, the
commissioners say, for the public at
large to feel at all alarmed.

the sinking of the steamer City of

dent was caused by collision with a
stump. The wreck is said to be CON-

of Yazoo was sunk by the same snag
which proved fatal to the Laura Lee,

40 bales Of cotton, 1.400 sacks of seed
and 500 barrels of oil. No lives lost.
