Last evenings Chronicle Telegraph says
There appears to be strong probability
AZ stated In this paper several days since
that the nail mills In this city will nearly
all start up az the reduced rate now being
paid in the Wheeling district, or the
MingO scale, which Is one cent lower than
the AmRlgamated Association scale. II
also appears that II the nailers accept 4
lower rate that 1t may seriously affect
their relations with the Amalgamated As,
soCiation, which after taking the nailerE
back into the Association made the lS
cent scale part OF the work OF the late
convention. There Is no doubt that the
nailers are anxious to 60 TO work, and that
they are inclined TO believe that in the
present condition Of the trade, so long as
the Wheeling men are working for the II.
cent rate, Pittsburgh manufacturers can
not start up their mills at the lS.Cent rate,
or Amalgamated Association scale, with
out running at a loss.
President Weihe, OF the AmalgamRted
Association, when asked what effect a re-
sumption Of work In Pittsburgh at the re-
duCed rate would have upon the relatiOna
now sustained by the nailers to the Anal
gamated Association, said: III the nail.
ers so to work at q rate under the scale OF
the Amalgamated Association, the AssoCl.
alton will have nothing more to do with
them."
A member Of the firm OF shoenberger &
Co., while not admitting in 80 many words
that their mill would start up at the re.
duced rate, confessed to the probability ol
their 80 doing.

GENERAL G0FF TALKS
ON CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.
He Gets Down to Work and Expects to be mt
1t Until After the Elections in NOyem-
ber- BlaIne's Grand Speech the
Keynote of the Contest,
speciaI pllnnleh 10 Ml InleLliutnrlr.

Special DtiOHieh 10 The IntsIltgtaeEr,
WASHINGTON, D, O., August 97.-Gen-
eral GOT commenced his active campaign
work to-day, and expeCts to devote his
time almost exclusively to his Committee
duties until after the November elections,
He says the Republicans expect to make
gains in the next Congress, In CONVERSE
ton to-day he would not commit himself
concerning MIR, Blaine's candidacy, but
was enthusiastic in praise OF his speech
and Ventured SO far as to say that il the
convention were held to-day the man
from Maine would be nominated with a
whoop, Mr., Blaine's speech, he said, was
Just splendid; 1t was exactly the thing,
and his face lighted up as he said it.
Speaking OF West Virginia, General
Got said the people were all for Blaine
there; that he was much stronger there
than before his defeat,
West Virginia is for protection, all the
industries OF the people lead them that
way, In other parts Of the country he
thought Mr.. Blaine was stronger than
ever, He said the issues OF the campaign
two years hence would be Rbout the same
as they were in lSs4-proteCtion would
be the keynote. Blaine came boldly out
on this point, but 30 did the other Repub-
liCan leaders.
Gen. Got expressed the opinion that
Republicans lost much in the last cam
pNign by allowing all their plans to be-
come known. They never started out to
do Snything but that it was published In
the newspapers. They had their pins all
set up to carry West Virginia, but all
their operations were made public, and
nne fine morning Hendricks, Carlisle,
Kenna, Thurman and Follett appeared on
the scene and went through the whole
State saving it to the Democrats. II Mr..
Blaine should be the candidate In 1883,
it will be found, Mr.. Gotf Baid, that he Ia
stronger than before and that at the same
time the Democracy will be weaker. .
Gen. GoiT says he thinks the Republt-
cans will elect man to the House from
the Fourth West Virginia district, where
Gibson has Just been defeated for tho
Democratic nomination by Mr.. IIogg. He
says Mr.. Hegg Is a bright young lawyer,
prominent only in local politics, and bis
nomination Is u great surprise. Wilson's
district, he thought, was the strongest
Democratic one.
