DETROIT, Mich, July 15-The secretary of
the Greenback national committee tele-
graphed to a Detroit member of the COM
mittee to meet him and Gen Butler when
the train arrived from Chicago last Satur-
day night He did so, and had talk
with Butler The latter said the rumors
about his not running for the presidency were
groundless. He would certainly run as the
representative of the two parties which had
nominated him, and hoped to get enough
votes to to throw the election into the house
of Representatives, when the Republicans
would vote for him preference to Cleveland.

sanitary condition of the capital is
good, and energetic measures have been
taken to minimize tbs evil results of an

Political Pickfucs,

The ratification meeting is again abroad in
the land Reports from all parts of the coun-
try tell of great enthusiasm at meetings OF
Democrats held to ratify the Democratic
nominations
An enterprising Chicago hotel man pro-
poses that the national conventions of the
great parties be established by law or other
wise at some central and easily accessible
point, where a building shall be put up for
that purpose. The said building is to contain
headquarter accommodations for all the
states and the national committees, telegraph
offices, and all the necessaries for the
carrying ON of the business of national
conventions. He says the hotsls are
crowded out of all reason during these times,
and that it takes deal of valuable time ia
prepare them for such occasions, and a quan.
tity of room needed for the accommodation
of guests is taken up in proyiding head
quarters, etc.
Murat Halstead says the Ohio Democracy
lost their opportunity in both conventions by
their divisions; and that unity in the Demo.
cratic delegation TO Chicago last week would
have nominated Thurman.

NEW YORK, July IA gentleman con
nected with the national Republican com
mittee says:
"A large amount of money has already
been subscribed to the campaign fund, and
more will be. This money viii be devoted
to the organization and polling of states
beforehand, organizing campaign clubs and
sending out documents and speakers.
This year the first attention will be
turned to Maine, where the cleo
ton comes off in August. The list of
speakers is pretty well made up now and in
cludes many prominent Republicans. OF
course, it is expected that Mr.. Blaine's own
state will give a rousing Republican ma
jority at this preliminary election, which
shall fire the heart of the masses, so to
speak A large amount of money is needed
penditures for meetings, hiring of halls,
printing, etc The next thing will be the
printing of documents. These are made
up mostly from speeches delivered in
congress and are printed in New
York and sent ont direct by mail
or express. There are not many speeches
printed in the government printing office
here, or sent under congressional franks
as a part of The Congressional Record. The
national committee does not think it
wise from political standpoint, or
good policy, financially, to attempt any
thing of this sort They have their speeches
printed there in pamphlet form, and send
them by express TO the State Central COM
mitttees, which in turn distribute them to
the counties, townships and wards The cam
paign this year will be a very vigorous one,
you may depend upon that"

early vigor and purity he appealed for support
for the office to which he had been noml-
mated. His language on this point left no
doubt as to whether he was going
to accept the nomination, Going on to
a discussion of the issues he said pure
administration was what the people wanted,
and in this connection reflected upon the re-
cent disclosures in the navy department,
saying that Secretary Chandler knew of
these things long ago, but took no steps to
bring the offenders to justice He eulogized
Governor Cleveland, and said that with him
at the head of the government there would be
no such rascality, no star route rings, but
that the administration of national affairs
would be honestly conducted upon the small
est revenue necessary. He declared that the
revenue should be cut down to the last cent
required for an economical administration,
and that the people would willingly pay taxes
to that extent, but when the government
collected more taxes than was necessary, it
was more than it had right to do, and the
people would demand a change
Mr.. Hendricks was vigorously applauded
during his speech, and at its conclusion Mr..
Mcdonald addressed the meeting, endorsing
the ticket and platform and predicting its
triumphant election
