FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Regular correspondent


ocratic clubs viii launch a decided
pollticia! novelety on the 18th Of
September, when special car under
the control Of that Association will
start from Washington on a forty
DAYS missionary tour. The car will
go direct to Chicago and FROM there
to St Paul and Minneapolis, where
special meetings will be addressed
by the speakers who will compose
tie crew Of Mission aries: from there
1t will 90 by easy stages along the
Northern Paclf, railway, stopping
at all important points to allow the
educational work to be done. The
car will be due at Spokane Falls on
the 237d of September, upon which
date a convention Of the democratic
clobs will be in session there, and
grand reception will be held.
The journey will then be continued
around Puget Sound Ill Oregon
thence through California, Utah and
Colorado, and returning to Iowa
about the time the State campaign
has reached Its warmest period.
There the missionaries are to take
a hand in re-elechng Governor Bores.
The car will be IN charge Of Mr.
Lawrence Gardner. Secretary Of
the Association and among those
who haye already volunteered as
working missionaries are Senator
Kenns, Representative Bynum ex-
Representative McAdoo and Hons
orsble Chauncey F. Black president
of the association. n number of
prominent democrats have the in>
vitatlon under consideration and if
they can 80 arrange their business
affairs will also become missionaries
for the dissemination of sound dem>
oCratic doctrine. Some Of them who
cannot spare the entire forty days
may join The party temporarily either
coming or going or both. Success
to the idea and to the missionaries.
Secretary Foster. who returned to
ashingtoD, is very much put out
because of the publication of the
fact that the continuation Of the
maturing 4 per cent bonds at 2 per
cent is already practically failure
Less than 100000 of the S5l, 900
900 Of these bonds outstanding when
the offer was made have been pre-
sented for continuance and only two
weeks remain in which they may be
continued. What remains out after
that time must be redeemed and
1t seems certain now that there will
be necessary to make a considerable
hole in the 100000 600 gold reserve
fund and although Mr.. Foster says
that be will not hesitate to use this
fund If 1t becomes necessary, it Is
known that he would much prefer
not having to do SO as he is we'll
aware that he has no legal right to
pay out one dollar Of that money.
Representative Mills, who has
been doing little campaigning in
lows, is back in Washington hard
at work on his book on the tariff.
Mr.. Mills says he found the greatest
enthusiasm existing among the Iowa
democrats and from his own obser>
vatinns be is of the opinion that
Boies will be re>elected and that the
entire ticket and Legislature Will also
be carried by the Democrats. Mr..
Mills expected to make Wsshingt ton
his headquarters until October, when
be is under engagement TO make
numter Of speeches in the Ohio cam
! psign. He is warm admirer of
Governor Campbell and expects to
see him defeat the high priest of
projections; be is also confident that
the next Ohio Legislature will Ger,
tainly be anti~republicap, if it is not
controlled by democrats exclusively.
1t begins to look very much like
NJ. Harrison would have a first
class negro revolt on his hands if he
darcs to send a white man to Hayti
as minister in place of Fred. Doug>
lass whose forced resignation has
been accepted. Prominent negroes
hele say that they will do every
thing in their power to keep the nc>
gro voters of Ohoio at home on eject.
ion day il Mr.. Harrison does not
appoint Degro to the vacancy or
promise to do SO before the Ohio
election takes place. On the other
hand those who profess to be famiI>
lar with Mr.. Baine's intention saw
that he is determined that q white
man shall be sent to Havti to assist
In CarrylnC ont his poI;c, -;,h -
