New YoRK, Sept. 22,-The Committee

"When we examine the reports and
cost Of strikes, and the almost reckless

Quoted, especially in large centres Of our

proposed by the Constitutional Commit

tion to article 6, section 8: All matters
relating to such strikes Chose In large

no union in such locality shall have tho

THp BVVpIERS' BLUFF.

About Opening u Campaign That Wa
Opened a Month Ago by Allen o, Myers.
COLUMBUS, o., Sept, 22,-It Is a littl'
remarkable that Campbell should bC
tramplng over the State looking at tht
breweries and making speeches for,
month, and then haveit announced tha
he will open the campaign at Waverly
October /, on the spot where Allen o
Myers opened tho campaign aud sound
ed the keynote more than q month ago
The Myers speech has been printed In
supplement- form and distributed through
all the Democratic papers. Myers got .
ahead OF Campbell nicely and Is entitled
to the cake.
But then Myers did not have as much
difficulty In finding place to open the
campaign as Campbell has had. II was
at first announced that Campbell would
proceed to open the Calnpaign-sound
his key.note-at Hamilton, hut that was
declared oiI-probably by order Of Pete
scwab. Then II was announced that
Campbell would open the campaign at
Newark, but Ike Hill or some other
member ofthe gang busted up the per.
formance. Delaware was next selected
for the campaign opening, but 1t got
out, and stirred up hornets nest, and
poor Jimmy had 10 drop that place from
the list.
The latest adylces arc that the people
OF WaYerly will be compelled to submit
10 the official opening, but by the first
Of October Campbell will discover that
he has not much to open, and Waverly
may escape the intliCtion of'one OF his
alleged speeches. In fact, 1t is said,
that there is very little demand fof
Campbell, and tho Democratic commit.
tee will be compelled 10 call on Cover

RIPLEY, o., Sept, 22,-WiIliam Fry,
colored man living in this place, and
John P. Parker, proprietor Of the Pho
nix foundry, had little trouble over
some iron this morning at the foundry
and Fry, who is a we'll built, active tel'
low, jumped on ParkOrwith large dirk

head and breast, and ended up by
throwing Parker into q cellar, where he
was picked up by friends and carried
home. Medical aid was summoned aud
everything possible done, but he is in
such a condition that the exact nature OF
his injuries cannot be told, Heis stabbed
in eleven different places, and hisreCoYery
is doubtful. Parker, who alsoa Colored
man, Is q good business man, and Is in
good circumstances. Immediately after
the stabbing Fry was lodged in Jail by
Chief Thompson. Shortly after 0 O'Clock

no COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS,
Major Warner Finally Declines, and Leaves
for HOmS-Ths Matter Where It Was


for HOmS-Ths Matter Where 1t Was.
WARRINGTON, D. O., Sept 99,-lt is
learned here that Major Warner left for
home, having finally refused the offer OF
the appointment Of Pension Commits
sloner, He simply stood by his declara-
ton Of last week, that he could not
possibly accept the office. 1t Is said
the President still hopes that Major
Warner may reconsider even this last
decision after he has returned home to
70 Kansas City; but there Is little posi-
bility that he may do 80.
General Merrill, OF Massachusetts,, re-
lleYed the Administration from any em'
barrassment on his account by telegraph
ing that he would, under no Clrcum-
stances, agree to he considered as a
candidate, He begged to withdraw his
name from the list of candidates, This
has been done, 1t is probable that the
Administration had dismissed him from
consideration altogether even before this
message was received,
Secretary Noble declines to state the
result Of the conference, II Is lnti-
mated, however, that he and the Presi-
dent will go over the whole matter again,
and that Il may be a couple OF weeks be-
fore the Pension Commissioner 10 sc,
lected. In this connection 1t Is reported
that none OF the candidates who have
been mentioned may he further con-
sidered, Should this course be taken 1t
would exclude from the possibility of
appointment Major Poole, OF Syracuse;
Frederic Kneaer, OF Indianapolis; Cen
eral FairChild, OF Wisconsin; General
Brown, Of Cincinnati; Judge Rea, OF
Minnesota, and General Powell, oi Illi-
nols, This is hardly probable, although
the report comes from Deer Park that
such course has been decided upon.
It is more likely, however, that these
candidates will be considered along with
the Others who are TO be taken up as
new candidates. II Is decided to secure
for Pension commissioner a man who is
identified with tho Grand Army, and
who IL prominent rs u soldier and Re.
publican and one who possesses good
business qualifications with the inlor.
nation oi Ia lawyer; and That above all
be shall be in harmony with the liberal
pension policy OF the Administration
and yet conservative and discreet In his
official conduct. Whether such a man
will be selected from the East or from
the West is not known, nor can it be
now determined. 1t may be several
weeks before Mr.. Tanners successor can
be selected.
Secretary Noble is doubtless inclined
to favor General Powell, aud there is a
probability that he will figure promi-
nently Us u candidate. Tho friends OF
General Brown, OF Cincinnati, arc also
hopeful, and whatever new candidates
may bo taken up there Is no doubt that
General Brown will he considered, The
whole matter now seems to be just where
1t was when Commissioner Tanner re.
