IRON Our Regular Correspondent
WssnvgroS. ID. c., August 22.-Mr.
Barbour has returned from New York.
aud to-day, IN company With. Randolph
Thicker, who has also recently returned
from that city, called on the President
TO give him the latest news from tho
Democratic Campaign Committee The
outlook IA New York has very much i'm
proved for the Democracy in the past
week, aud the prospect for united De-
mocracy in the Empire State is now
very promising. The recent attcmpt
OF the fasSet Committee 10 show
that there wes bad blood between
Governor Bill and Mr.. Cleveland re-
suited in disastrous faiiure. and the let
tiers OF the two iunctionaIics show in-
stead OF any III feeling The greatest re-
epect and cordial good will 90 each other.
The result Of their publication viii be to
consolidate the Democratic friends OF
both. The betting In New York is now
reported 20 be even and tho Democrats
flnd 1t difficult 10 place their money on
these terms Roswell =. Flower has IN
nonccd bis determination 10 subordi-
the party. and Will do all in his power
81 promote a uni0n OF the County
Democracy and Tammany on a munieI-
pal as well as the electoral and State
tickets. Senator Quay is said 10 be very
e0ro over tho blundors committed by
Mr.. Blaine in his recent speeches, and is
reported so be considering the proprietyo OF
sending the Maine statesman duplicate
OF tho note be once sent 30 General
Beaver when that gentleman was nomi-
mated ior Governor OF PENNSYLVANIA. A
reporter observing IN QusY's presence
that he vas going 10 interview Beaver
Mr.. Quay asked HIM If ne would take q
note TO General Beaver for him. The
reporter was only too glad to do so.
The note was brief Don't Talk.
General Beaver opened 1t, read it, and
showed 1t 10 the correspondent, and
that ended the interview. Now Senator
Quay would like to give Mr.. Blaine tho
same 0dvice. But there is one gentle
man whom the Republican boss would
hko 80 have talk. and that Is Senator Ed
minds. II y reported that the National
Republican Committee have invited him
to speak IN behalf Of Harrison md Nor
ton, but that the Vermont Senator, while
expressing his great admiration for and
fully endorsing the Republican candi-
dates. has declined TO accept the invita-
ton on account Of physical inability to
speak ont of doors or III large hall.
lie evidently takes it for granted that he
would have large crowd 10 hear him.
The report that the surplus would be
almost extinRulshod by the apprOpria-
ton bills passed aud pending seems so
have originated ia Republican sources
interested in representing It TO he as
small as possible IL is true that the APP
preparations made by this Congress have
been much larger than heretofore. but
u must he remembered that the Inst
Congress made no Appropriation for
rivers and harbors which necossitstod
the passage Of bill this year apprOprla-
cover deficiencies Of the last Con
press. Then. too. the fertilization
blll appT0priaies several millions ior the
first time for sea-cOast deieuces, and the
naval appropriation bill several more for
new ships and the completion Of those
now Oh hand.
Mr.. Mills is of opinion that after de
Quoting ali the legitimate appropriations
the surplus will still be left IN It's i'm
mcnee Proportional menace to the
financial and material prosperity Of the
country. Some Republicans are urging
thatthe surplus viii bc reduced so largl y
that It viii be unnecessary to pass any
tariff bill for It's reduction, but tic
[ 3
their arguments stll adhere 10 their de-
termination 10 bring Ia tariff measure
IN place OF the Mills bill Members OF
the committee now say that II will be
ready by September lst. Ia that case II
viii be October lot before Congress adj
iourus il they undertake to pass 1t. In
TACT a great many members believe that
recees will have 80 be taken Ia October
until after the election III order to iiLlsh
up the public busness.
