champion Oi Wbat Ha5 Decu chltSu tuS most vicious piece of class legislasion in our history, iu his Ohio fight l. is well known that Mir. Clarkson, tine new chairman ot the Republican na. tional executive committee, is whai is known as practical politician, and his frequent conferences with Secretary Foster, who belongs to the same school and others high in the departments, has started the rurAor that the boys, and the girls, too, will soon be given very plain hint that svcIuntaryn subscriptions to the Me- Kinley campaign fund will be accept able and in order.
 Ii is not probable in view of Mir Blaine's very plain characterization of the Mckinley bill as 'sthe most shameful measure ever proposed to a civilized people,, snat either ho or his friends will make any very pro nounccd efforts to assist in electiug the author of the bill governor of Ohio, in fact there are people who believe they are more likely to assist in defeating him.
 Tho administration is scattered arould ra her promiscuously tLis week, and nothing but the mercst routine business is being conducted, owing to tue sbsenre Of the heads of departments. Secretary Foster was the last to go, and before going he depied that he would become can ciidate for the senate in case Sherman withdrew. Noiwithsia ding his ce- pial there are good reasons for the belief that he is DOW in Ohio laying wires to do that very lhii z
 D mocrats hero are greatly pleased to hear from Republican sources that Senator Quay proposes 10 maA- age the Republican campaign in Pennsylvania this year, and that iu his efforts for vindication he may even become chairman of the Repub lican state comritlee. Nothing could be better for the Democrats than this programme, and the only fear is that it may not be carried out. The fact has been recognized by the Democrats ever since the carnival of Republican financial crookedness, be- gun by Delameter and not ended by Treasurer Bardsiey, though he is the last one that was caught, that the Democrat, party has good fighting chance to carry Pennsylvania this year, and that chance will certainly be greatly improved if the man who was forced out of the chairmanship of the Republican national committee in deference to the openly expressed sentiments of prominent newspapers and men in his own party shall at- tempt to openly manage the Repub- lican campaign.
 The meeting of the executive com mittee Of the national association of Democratic clubs, which is to meet in New York city, was called to hear reports as to the progress made in organizing new clubs and to discuss ways and means of increasing tho rapid progress already made. Sec retary Gardner said: 'sAfter our meeting the president Of our associa. ton, Hon. Channcey +. Black, of Pennsylvania. will start upon tour of Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois, his purpose being to strengthen our organization in those states. Our meeting will have no bearing on the interests of any presidential candi- date, and under our present conslitu- ton we are obliged to confine our selves to the tariff as the leading is- sue.u
 Mr. Claskson thinks to fool the Democrats by giving it out in news paper interviews that the Republican national committee will take no part in tho state ,ampaigniag this year, but he makes mistake as big as uOu>cs uC bcnotio ats hhVW thob Mr. Clarkson's s committee is already taking quite an extensive part in the campaign in Ohio and Iowa, in addi- ton to it's Iaborious duties in pushing the Blaine and Alger presidential ticket through the national league Of Republican clubs, of which Mir. Clark son is president, and also that it is engaged in husiliug among the pro tected manufacturersfor contributions to the big corruption fund which it has been decided to raise.
 Payments made on aceannt of pen sons siace the first of the month foot up s7 500, ,000, which brings the treasury very near to the deficit point again, although by the jugged figures ihe surplus is shown to be in excess of S48, ,000, ,000.
 Commissioner of Immigration Owen, who made the bresE of writ ing s letter saying that Welch tin plate workers could be brought to this country under contract, can make no moro such errors, as an official order has been issued by the treasury department stating that all decisions relating to immigration will be mado by Assistant Secretary Nettleton. This reduces Owen to mere clerk ship, and it he was man of inde- pendeucc he wouli throw up the DO. sition.
