The Ohio Democracy.
WASHINGTON, July 7th.-Governor Hoad-
~ has consented to again be a candidate
of the Ohio Democracy for Governor of
Ohio He reached this decision after
consultation with the President, in which
the latter promised to give him the assist
ance of the Federal patronage in Ohio to
make the fight. Information has been re-
ceived here from the head center that Gov
ernor Hoadly will have a hard task to
secure reelection, even backed as he may
be by the full strength of the Administra-
ton. The great ambition of the Demo
cratic leaders in Ohio is to secure Demo
crat to succeed Senator Sherman. If they
could elect the State ticket, and carry the
Legislature as well, no effort would be
spared to accomplish such result; but to
do both seems hardly possible, and it is
said that the Democratic managers
have determined TO sacrifice the State
ticket, if necessary, to secure a ma ority in
the Legislature The prohibition and col
ored vote i'll the State, which they hope in
some degree to control, will be used wher-
ever possible for the election of members
of the Legislature, and the State ticket will
be subordinate to the Legislative fight
Governor Hoadly's recommendation of
Ex-Governor Moves to be the Government
Director of the Union Pacific Railway has
greatly annoyed the active followers of
PAYNE and Mclean They assert that the
Governor imagines himself to be a much
greater figure in the politics Of the State
than he really is, and they propose to re-
buke his presumption whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself, and they will knife
him without hesitation if any political adj
vantage can be gained by his defeat.
The Strike of iron-Workers in Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, July 7th.-Great excitement
prevails i'll the eastern part of the city this
morning. Twelve hundred strikers from
the iron mills at Newburgh marched into
the city and visited the Chisholm shovel
works on Case avenue. This establishment
is operated by Chisholm, who also owns
controlling interest in the Cleveland rolling
mills. The strikers forced the worlmen
out and closed down the factory. They
then proceeded to the Union screw works.
on Case avenue. near Pacific. They were
denied admittance, whereupon they broke
in the windows and forcibly took posses
sion of the place. The workmen have quit
rather than have riot and at this time
1870 P. M.-the establishment is being
stones, but no intended violence against the
workmen by the strikers was reported.
At the screw works, which are partly
owned by Chisholm, the mob carried ev-
erything before them. The door was bat
tered down with heavy pieces of timber
and car-pins were driven through the win
dowS. fayette Brown, President of the
company, was struck on the head with
club and quite seriously injured. Girls
employed in the packing rooms tainted,
and orders were quickly given to stop the
engine and stop work. The strikers then
left the city and returned to the Eighteenth
Ward. The police were rapidly moving
toward the scene OF the riot when the hos
ilities ceased, and they returned to their
beats. At this hour everything is quiet.
The Fireworks Trade
New YORK, July 7th.-The fireworks
manufacturers have had the busiest season
for Years, ending with the national cele-
bration, which was fully as widely and
nOisily observed as in former times. One
manufacturer said: d" 1t is a curious fact
that although the North, from Maine to
California lays in a full stock of fireworks
for the Fourth, not a dollar is spent by
people south of the Potomac and Ohio
rivers. They use them only on Christmas
days. Che demand for all kinds of goods
fell off rapidly for two or three years after
the Centennial, but for the past five years
it has steadily increased This year, |
think, will show a general increase all over
The country. Our trade begins in Febru-
airy. The tendency to celebrate Decoration
Day in a Fourth of July fashion is being so
much opposed by the Grand Army men
that it will probably be abandoned
Charges of Political Treachery.
NEW YORK, July 7th.-The story of
treachery to the Democratic party by Sena-
tor Mcpherson, of New jersey, has been
told before, but to-day the Trenton True
Amertcda, a Democratic paper, comes out
III long article, giving all the details.
Peter II. Watson. Assistant Secretary of
War under Lincoln, declares that he heard
the details and the bargain made recently
by Senator MCPHERSON, by which Sewell,
Republican, was TO succeed Randolph,
Democrat, in the Senate, in the interest of
the Pennsylvania and Southern Pacific
Railways. Though the story has been
often told, to-day the plain developments
will unquesuonably create excitement in
Jersey
Fast Transcontinental Freight Lines.
New YORK, July 7th.-Commissioner
Ristine will be in town tomorrow. 1t is
thought his visit is for the purpose of COM
pleting the arrangements for the operation
of an Atlantic and Pacific fast freight lire
The new California fast freight line is now
running through from Chicago to San
Francisco on schedule time. The equip
ment of the line is entirely new, and the
cars fitted with automatic air brakes. They
expect to make the through trip in eight
days. Though maintaining an average of
twelve days from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, freight agents say that California bust
ness is rapidly picking up. Big shipments
of dry goods are now made daily, and the
firms which have been holding off the prlr-
chase of goods, expecting cutting of rates
as q result of the recent meetings of the
Transcontinentai Association, are now the
heaviest shippers.
Systematic Swindiing of Insurance Com
panies.
NEW YORK, July 7th.-The fact has
been discovered by one or more insurance
companies here that they are being system
atically defrauded by irresponsible brokers,
who are using many ingenious methods of
getting healthy mems lives insured and
then collecting upon the death OF scllly
persons in their names; of dressing bodies
