claims of Dakota. It says:
The completed census of Dakota
shows that it has population of over
40O, 900; and that it has increased in five
years over 200 per cent. 1t will be more
difficult than ever for the democrats in
congress to find an excuse for refusing
to admit the territory as state. The

WASHINGTON, Ang. 10.-A short time ago the
Hon. John McSweeney of Ohio who was one
of the leading attorneys for the defense in the
memorable starroute trials, visited Washington
and remained some time. To-day your CORE
spondent learned that while here Judge Nc
Sweeney called upon The President and entered
strong protest against the offensive partisan
ship" policy of the administration, telling the
President that it was having most disastrous
effect in Ohio arraying neighbor against neigh
Dor and relative against relative, inducing the
preparation of perjury and destroying the peace
of whole communities; that the result would in
evitaby be disastrous to the ADMIN stration and
to the party. What the Presidents reply was
has not beer asceraned, but there is no doubt
that Judge McSweeney's protest will have great
weight SO far as future action is concerned.
Judge McSweeney, in the course of the conver
sat;on, is reported to'have said
IF You want TO turn men out because they
are Republicans, do so, and put your action
squarely on that ground; but don't let US have
any sneak-thief business or SANDER moncering,
and we can stand that; this new policy will in
sure our defeat in 1888 if it is kept up"
If reports are true, the President has heard a
vast deal of this kind of talk during the past
month. Most of it has come too, from men of
almost equal prominence with Judge McSweeney.
1t is the very best class of citizens who despise
the offensive partisanship" business. who can
see how it disrupts neighborhoods and ruins
society," and will wreck any party that will per-
petuate it. Removals will likely be made with
out so many afidavits being required when the
President returns to work next September.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 10.-Five months and
more have passed since the Inauguration OF Mr.
Cleveland, and men have begun casting about to
see what its harvest has been SO far. Said
leading merchant of this city this morning:

of business men here are just hanging on the
verge of bankruptcy, hoping that some change
may soon come that will enable them 10 escape

state of affairs exists in other cities. There are

WASHINGTON, Aug. lot has been arranged
between representative tariff reformers and
protectionists that Speaker Carlisle shall be re-
elected by acclamation. While the Speaker was
here last week Representative Curtin, of Pom
sylvania. who was Randals manager in former
speakership campaigns, asked to be accorded the
honor of placing his name before the caucus for
reelection by acclamation. Carlisle thanked
him and said he would confer with Kentucky
and other members who helped him into the
position two years ago; that it was due them to
consider their wishes in matter of even such
harmonious purport. 1t is stated that Governor
Curtin has written to Senator Joe Blackburn,
asking him to get the consent of the Kentucky
delegation to this arrangement. Those who
have heard of this move say it means that
Carlisle will have no opposition; that it comes
ftom Randall, and that his scheme is to popu-
larize himself in the South and West for the
presidential nomination three years hence.

of General Grant All agree that the outpouring
of the people on the occasion and their deep
grief as indicated by the dispatches, were some
thing wonderful. The Times has a special dis
patch, three columns long, detailing the scenes
and incidents of the funeral, and also prints a
leading editorial praisng and recalling many
personal traits of the dead General It ex-
presses unbounded admiration for the conduct
of the American people concerning the burial of
General Grant, and pronounces the funeral a
spontaneous outburst of national admiration
and gratitude, which, although it can do nothing
for its actual object is not therefore the less to
be commended, In conclusion, the Times says:
No other Nation and no former period could
have afforded the materials for such procession
as that of Saturday, even the physical con-
ditions which enabled its members to come to-
gether."
