PHILADELPHIA. Pa, June 29.-An address 10
the citizens OF Pennsylvania was issued to-
day, signed by $50 Of philadelphias most in
fuential Republicans, to point out the causes
of the degradation of public affairs in the
State and the necessary steps toward its I'M
proyement.
Senator Quay's management of the Repub-
lican machine is said to be corrupt
and in strong contrast to the rank
and file of the party That leadership is
characterized as unscrupulous in its methods
and injurious in its results. Quay is held re-
spOnsible for the overwhelming disaster the
party met with last fall. His lieutenants IN
the Legislature are charged with committing
a stupid political blunder by their hostility
10 the Bailot-Reform bill, and with having
violated the express pledges Of the party and
openly defed the will of the overwhelming
majority Of their constituents.
ROBBERY or The TREASURES.
These things have found fitting culraina-
tion in the robbery OF the city and state
treasures As the party viii soon be called
upon TO nominate a State and City Treasurer
and an Auditor General, the nominations
must be given to honest men or the party Will
meet with another defeat.
In the presence OF these facts Pennsylvania
Republicans must not hesitate as 10 their
duty or be in doubt as 20 their course. 1t IS a
crisis. and it can only be met by the retire
ment of Mr.. Quay. More competent and
worthy leadership is necessary and an
unfinching demand must be made for the
retirement OF these men from the places
which they have disgraced. All persons
throughout the State in sympathy with TINS
movement are requested 10 address lock box

and desirable Southern connections.
Whether it Is the Richmond and Danylle.

tant factor in the present deal.
WHAT Al OFFICIAL SAID
A prominent official of the road when CUES
toned on the subject said that 1t was lmpor-
tant for his company 10 get Southern outlet
for their coal trade and that they were ready
TO negotiate FIR the quickest means
Of securing this end. AS the Rich
m0nd and Danyille railroad has recently
purchased the Danylle and New River
railroad which intercepts the Roanoke and
Southern no Martnsvllle, ana as the hlch-
m0nd and Danville also connects with the

Neutrality-suspicious. on Stocks,
Bonds, Etc.

CHICAGO, August 29.-[Special. Last Sat
urday December wheat closed at clos. To-
day it closed about 81 cents lower. Most of
the decline has occurred during the last W
days. The lack of buying orders from abroad
and the immense receipts at home tells the
whole story. Reports of ruined crops. war.
famine or anything else will not sustain
prices above a dollar in Chicago without
constant buying on an average Of three quar-
ters of a million bushels per day for EXPORT.
Receipts of corn and estimated receipts Tor
the near future were the leading features in
the corn market. 1t opened at about the low
est point of the day. but large orders from the
East, supposed TO be in the interest OF parties
controlling the September deal, absorbed all
offerings and caused a sharp advance nearly
TO Yesterdays closing prices. When the estl-
mated cars for Monday were received the
market became very weak, scarcely waiting 70
decline, but lust tumbled half a cent between
trades and parties noted for their large buy
ing at the opening and at the advance were
among the free sellers at 1.-THE very lowest point.
SOutherly winds and warmer weather cause
a.fayorable condition for growing crops and
is the principal cause OF the weakness IN the
deferred futures. A large busines was done
in cash oats. but the market sagged under the
large receipts, over half a million being sold
in sample lots for domestic purposes during
the short session to-day.
The movement Of grain would indicate that
railroads will have enough to do without
auarreling with each other.
Provisions like the past few days have
boon principally of a changing nature be
tween holders Of September contracts and
the carriers. There is still a large amount TO
be provided for Monday. after which time we
hope to be able 10 discern some tendency to
the market. At present it IS dragged down by
large stocks of mess pork.
