Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLE1
WASHINGToN, D. c., July 11.-Mrs f
j. Hale, Sr., is in this city at the Riggs
House She has been in Manchester. Eng
land, with her son for about a year, but
will reside in America for the future.
Gen. Longstreet is in this city. He came
on to the Gettysburg reunion. He is an
applicant for pension for services render
ed during the Mexican war. He will prob
abl. get it.
That able and popular gentleman, Col.
lhos NJ. Holt, the next Lieut.. Governor
of North Carolina, was in this city for one
day last week. He thinks the Democratic
chances Of success are good. He is de-
servedly one of the most popular men in
the State, and cannot fail to make a good
run. His executive ability is of the high
est order, and his private and political
records are stainless. He is "a convincing
speaker, and his sterling honesty and high
character cannot fail to win for him the
united strength of the Democracy of North
Carolina
heSSIS. L. y. oHiltL. thompson anu
Ashley, of Raleigh, were among the dele
gates to the ratification meeting in Balt
more, who stopped here to call on the
President on their way home. A number
Of colored delegates also called on him
and told him their race would give him
great many votes in the coming election.
The Democrats in the House are push
ing the Mills bill through with all possible
haste. The hot weather and clamorS of
constituents have caused members of both
parties to wish to hurry matters up. The
bill Will be passed this month probably.
The Republicans in the Senate are form
Glating ii taritf bill which will he present ed
as 4 substitute to the Mills bill. This will
embody thorough revision Of the tariff
keeping in view the strengthening and
preservation of the protective system 1t
viii reduce the revenues seventy to eighty
millions, including the abolition of the
tobacco tax, ali speoia! taxes and that on
spirits used III the arts.
The House has wisely refused to agree
to the Senate amendment appropriating
800, 600 for experiments in making sorg
hum sugar.
Senator Vance has kindly furnished me
with his views on the National and State
tickets, the tariff, and the strength of the
Republican nominees. Everything he SAYS
is read with intense interest by our people,
and they will doubly appreciate wha1 he
says about matters of vital and Immediate
Importance. Governor Vance said to ne:
The ticket is the best one that could
have been made under the circumstances.

to Thurman except his age, and that will
not lose him vote at the polls, and his
name gives much strength TO the ticket: ::
and whatever objections many Democrats
may have had to Cleveland circumstances
rendered his nomination political neces-
sity The general directpess and upright
ness of his administration. his bold VetOeS
OF eNtravagant measures, and especially
his coura geous and manly stand on tariff
reduction will bring every true Democrat
in the land to his support.
The great fight Will be on the tariff
question. and whether taxes shall be levied
on the people for the support Of the GOV
ernment or for the profit of private indi
viduals On this issue the President is
ahead of his party, and for the first time
since the war we have chance to reduce
taxes within the limits of the Constitution.
Every human icing in an agricultural
country like North Carolina is deeply in
terested in this issue.
Il regard our State ticket as a first rate
one. 1t is not only strong politically, but
the gentlemen who compose it are able
and admirably qualified for the duties of
their respective positions. see no reason
why we should not carry the State by
from - 900 to 30, 900 majority. Several
important amendments to the Internal
Revenue laws have been passed by the
Democratic House and are now pending
in the Senate The Mills bin abolishes
the tax on tobacco, except cigars and
cheroots. and an effort will be made, |
think successfully to abolish it on fruit
brandy This will give great satisfaction
to our people, and will assure them that
more will be done as soon as it may be
with safety to the treasury. The talk l.
now that the Mills bill will pass the House
by the goth by near the nominal Demo
cratic majority. Two courses will then
be open to the Republican Senate; either
to antagoniZe it with another bill OF post
pone action on it until December The
latter is the sensible course for them, and
for that reason will probably not be adopt
ed in which case Congress Will be here
until September.

man of much personal popularity or very
commanding ability, but his capacity for
affairs is very respectable and his charac
ter. so far AS | ca learn, is in all respects
above reproach. MI that eau be said
against MIN is upon his political record.
Such men are always more or less danger

politician after the manner of New York
with the command of unlimited funds.
There is no senae in Understanding such
ticket We can beat it bat we've got tC

II shall remain at my post until Congress;
adiourns and shall probably not be able

Then a few days rest in the mountains
and shall enter the canvass regularly.
