Nature Of She Ma1ady and Ies Mnevfe-
 able Result.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-General Sheridan's death was expected from the outset by nedi- cal men here not connected with the case, but who were well acquainted with his con- dition. According to one of them, the most serious organic trouble which he had is not referred to in the last medical bulletin, names of diseases from which he is said to have suffered. One of the most serious features of this case, these doctors say, was organic trouble of the liver. The prediction was made here that as soon as he reached northern climate, and seemed to be benefited by change of air, critical time would come; that the increase in the vitality of the stomach and of the liver would give the heart more than it could do, and that there would be heart failure. These predictions have been fulfilled. General Sheridan was in 6 more critical condition here than the public were permitted to know Once he was given up for dead even by his hopeful wife. Three times the priest annointed him and adminis- tered the last sacrament. And at the Della ware Breakwater, on the voyage to Nonq uitt, it is now known that death nearly overlook him.

 NEW YORK, August 7.-The first out of town contingent of the parade in honor of MT. Blaine has arrived. It was the delega- ton from the young mems Blaine club of Chicago. There were ever 150 men in it, and they occupied special train of parlor cars on the Erie railroad. The cars were handsomely decorated with flags, bunting and banners bearing the name and principles of the club, which is one of the strongest in the north. west having membership of over 1,200, mostly young men. In consequence of Gen. Sheridan's death, the members decided not to parade, but instead went quietly to their headquarters at the Hoffman House. It is the clubs intention to go down the bay to meet Mr. Blaine, and large steamboat has been secured for this purpose. The Kansas City Republican clubs delegation, about 200, will arrive some time tomorrow.
 The Baltimore men are expected Wednes- day. They have engaged every available room in the SturteYant House. The Phila- delphia delegation will come on Thursday and General Jackson, grand marshal of the parade, has just received a dispatch from General Harrison's law partner, MT. Elan, stating that MT. Miller, the other member of the firm, would come here to take part in welcoming MT. Blaine.
 The work of erecting the reviewing stand is nearly finished. It is in the usual place by the Worth monument and will accommodate about five hundred people. That number of invitations will be issued. It is the intention of the grand marshal to send invitations to prominent party leaders and representative Republicans of the States participating in the parade.
 It was decided that the Republican club should lead the procession on Thursday night, neer corps and the grand marshal and his staff, who will be preceded in turn by the bands and 6 platoon of police. The club will march down Fifth avenue te the grand stand and there take it's place as special guard of honor to the great leader. It was this club that first suggested the idea of vel. coming him in this city.
 Dakota appears early on the scene with her tribute to MT. Blaine. Among the earliest arrivals from the northwest is E. Fl. Banvard of Watertown, Oak. He says that much re- gret is felt among the Republicans of Dakota at their inability to make their voice heard for the party in the coming election and that the sense of outrage suffered by them at the hands of the Democracy is deep and vide spread. They have strong hopes of the elec- tion of Harrison, who especially has been the champion of Dakota's rights in the past and to whom they look confidently for justice in the event of his election. MT. Banvard comes with an address of welcome to MT. Blaine from the people of Dakota.
 President James P. Foster has to-day re- ceived applications from 8 number of addi- tioual clubs. The Republican Invincibles" will leave Philadelphia for this city early Thursday afternoon and will return on the midnight train. Prior to their departure a fine banner and three flags will be presented to them by their friends. The club will have ,O0O men in uniform.
