THE FACTS.

We would like to hear some anti
Mackay man tel of q single State
campaign since Mackay has been
living on the Comstock that
that did not receive a liberal
support from his purse. His
check has always been at the dis
posal of the Central Committee,
even in the Fair campaign where
he has been accused of helping
Fair, he offered to give the Repub-
lican Central Committee any
amount they asked for. Sharon
then told the Committee that it v as
his fight and that he (Sharon)
would pay all bills. The Commit
tee declined Macksy's assistance
and then got none from Sharon.
These facts can be readily substan-
tiated.

He Burned Her mp and Saved His

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 5.-The
Jury in the case of VIM. Andrews,
charged with killing his wife and
then burning her body, at High
Spire. on July 4. 1881, on Saturday
returned q verdict of murder in the
second degree. The verdict was
based on a charge of the Court
which tended to show that unless
there was equal proof of the killing
or the body of the deceased should
be produced it was murder in the
second degree. No portion of the
burned body was produced by the
commonwealth. Andrews had al
ready been convicted of murder in
the first degree, but was granted a
new trial. He was sentenced to IL
years imprisonment, the full ex-
tent.

A man without some enemies
is not of much account. There
are, moreover, some men whose en-
nifty is more creditable to aperson
than their friendship. This is the
class from which desirable enemies
are obtained and from which the
sensible man obtains his quota.

Nearly All the Delegates in the City-Scenes
In the Hotels and Streets.
CHIeAGo, July Cit has been noisy Sunday
The arrival of delegations and independent or
carnations continued throughout Saturday
night and all of to-day, and tonight the full
working strength of the convention is on the
ground, with but few individual exceptions. A
roll-call would show the presence in the city of
eight hundred accredited delegates. The feature
of the day was the arrival of the marching or
ganizations. Their coming was heralded by
bands of music, and from early morning until
the arrival of Tammany Hall tonight there
have been constantly recurring scenes Of march
ing bodies and boisterous receptions Great
crowds hung about the vicinity of the Palmer
House, and each arriving contingent was
metwith great cheering. The Cook County
Democrats Club, strong local organization,
performed the greatest portion of the escort
duty, but were joined as the day advanced by
outside clubs, SO that the Mcdonald Club of
indianapolis, the Irving Hall and Tammany
Hall clubs ofNew York, had as their escort the
American and Randall clubs of Philadelphia
New York County Democracy and other outside
organizations. Tonight in the brilliantly
lighted streets about the Palmer House, is a

thousand drawn hither by the commotion oc-
casioned by the arrivals

why Not Make tho Poor Department
Clerks Happy

Sunday Herald
There is some talk among the employees
of tho treasury department of getting up
n petition TO the secretary to revoke his
order that there shall be money advanced
to them, even whom leaves of absence arc
granted. This Is considered n great hard
ship. as many OF tho clerks, especially
those with families, when granted leave
are precluded from taking them for tho
reason that they cannot get the necessary
funds TO 90 away with. For years 1t has
been tho custom to allow the clerks their
months, or at least half months, pay
when their thirty days leaves were
granted, aud tho government has never
been cent the loser in consequence.
They ieol, in view Of this fact, that IL
they are entitled to their leaves with pay
that they arc also entitled to their salary
in advance, US the government does not
expect any services to DO rendered by
them for the timo being, and that to
have the leave without the pay is like
having cart without the horse. Some Of
the employees arc promo to hold tho
disbursing clerks responsible for not
getting thoir money. This is wrong.
For these officers (Messrs. Bartlett and
Hobbs as just as accommodating AS it
lies in their power to possibly be, and are
also gentlemen the quintessence of in-
togrity, and would not bo induced to
violate tho secretary's rulo under any
circumstances, which, OF course, is pcr-
fectly right. Tho average department
clerk is, as rule. one of the most
chronically impccunious species Of poor.
suffering humanity, and when he needs
tho noedful he needs it with much
phasis-particularly at tho time whom
he or sho wants few weeks vacation.
1t is hoped that the secretary will. in his
kindness of heart and love Of justice, for
which qualities he is 50 we'll known, upon
reflection reconsider and rescind the order
in question. and by so doing tighten the
burdens of his little family of treasury
folks at home and make thom com para
lively happy.

France has apparently decided upon
war with China, and emphasized her
decision by promptly taking possession of
Kelung. Kelung is at tho northern end
of the rich and populous island of For
mosa. Very extensive deposits of coal
are worked there, which renders tho
seizure of prime Importance. as it insures
an abundant supply Of fuel for the French
fleet. If the French conclude to conlino
their hostile operations for the present to
ovorrunning Formosa 1t is not probable
that any serious opposition eau or will be
offered by China. Once in possession of
Formoss France would have prize de.
cidedly to be preferred to the indemnity
which China has refused to pay, and
could very woll afford to forogo further
operations. But II Is not likely that she
will bo content to act with such modera-
tion. The probabilities are that Kelung
will be made u base Of operations against
the ports on the mainland. Foo Chow
can be reached in n days steaming with
ease, being about $50 miles distant, while
Canton, lying but 800 miles to the south
west, could soon bo brought under the
