WASHINGTON, July 5.-Hon. w. J.
Campbell, chairman of the Republican
national committee, was in conference
to-day with the president, Secretaries
Rusk and E,kins, Commissioner Carter
and ex-senator Spooner for nearly four
hours. At the conclusion of the confer
ence Campbell made the following state
ment, saying he had nothing further to
say regarding the question at issue. The
statement Is as follows:
when was elected chairman of the
Republican national committee, it was
with the distiIct understanding that 10y
business engagements then pending
might render 1t impossible for me to act
10 that capacity. The contingency was
fully understood by the committee and
others directly interested. Since the ad-
journment of the committee, l have been
unable to adjust my affairs so as to rem
der it practicable for me to act as chair
man; and l therefore, as reserved the
right to do, announce that 1 will not so
act. Under the authority vested IN me
By the national committee, will prob
ably announce the executive committee
within the next few days and the COM
mittee will assemble at an early date.
At The meeting 1 will formally tender
nv resignation. and my successor will
then be elected. My successor will be
chosen by election OF the executive COM
mittee, as authorized by the resolution
adopted by the national committee"
The names most prominently men,
toned to-night in connection with the
chairmsnshiD are Commissioner Carter,
j. Fl. Manley. of Maine, Samuel Fessen
den, of New Hampshire, and Mr.. Hobart,
of New jersey.

scenes In Homestead

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 7.-Homestead
is strangely silent this morning. 1t is
quiet and sober after the fight. Its lead
ers are wondering what will be the next
step. Men are bathing their wounds and
preparing to bury the dead. The leaders
propose to have the fence around the
Carnegie property rebuilt and repair all
other damage by yesterdays riot with d
view of preventing suits BY the company.
Guards TO look after the interests of the
company are renewed. There was much
surprise here over the the release by the
sheriff and sending away of the Pinker-
ton guards. When the workmen agreed
not TO kill them it was understood that
the guards would be placed IN Jail until
information for murder could be sworn
out against them. The report Of their
release excited much angry discussion at
remembered that ii they appeared against
the Pinkertons as witnesses they them
selves would be liable to prosecution for
riot. The feeling then became ooe OF
relief that no legal complications would
arise out of yesterdays bloodsbed The
call of the sheriff for pOsee is received
with good -natured derision, as they are
confident the posse could not be collect
ed. Men this morning removed the bar
ricades and restored things to their nor
NAL condition as far as possible. The
men are confident of their power, and,
while determined to preserve the peace
locally, will brook no outside interfer-
snce.

The Oregon delegation has done
nobly for the interests of the north
west, and we are gratified when we
see an acknowledgement of the good
work done by our senators and repre-.
sentatives in congress by the Washing
ton state press, as the following from
the Pomeroy Independent will indi-
cate:
Idaho owe a debt we can never pay to the
Oregon senators for their untiring efforts to
have the Columbia river opened. Our own
senators have been too much engrossed in
laying wires for reelection and getting ap.
propriations for private schemes to aid
much in this great work that is of even
national Importance in as large degree as
the claims made for the great Mississippi.
This Mr.. Mohr is president of company

property or join him in the enterprise SO

that pass with the seeming sanction of the

Hon. Whitelaw Reid appears to be
the general object of attack on the
part of Democracy. He has been our
minister to France, where he managed
affairs in most able manner, and
for years conducted the editorial course
ofthe New York Tribune. the leading
Repu blican journal in the United
States. For all this he receives no
credit, but is criticised in the seVerest
terms because he employed tppe set
ting machine IN his Office. IL Re-
publican papers were to follow the
same tactics regarding Stevenson,
the second name on the Demo
cratic ticket, there would be sufficient
matter to furnish ammunition FROM
now until after November; but this
should be campaign of national is
sues, and not of personalities. There
are important questions calling for
decision from American citizens, and
these should be discussed before the
verdict is given at the ballot box.

g;ish Elections.

LONDON, July THE results of the
elections, including to-day's polling, so
far as heard from, are: Number elected,
24S-conservatives, 1876: liberal union
lists, 90; liberals, including labor, 81;
Irish nationilists, 6. The conser vatives
polling to-day as far as reported. The
liberals have not yet made gain to day.
The total net liberal gain, therefore, is
held to 10. The number of seats being
pole for to-day is 70, of which in the
late parliament thesronservatives held 46
the hberal-unionistr Q, and liberals II.
Further returns from elections are:
In County Down, Irel apd, west division,
Lord Arthur Hill, conservative, was re
elected without Opposition. At Roland
Glare, north division, Flynn, an anti
Parnellite, was re- elected without opposi-
tion.
England-NottlDghamshire: Newark,
conservative, was reelected without OPP
position.
Ireland-Waterford: John Z. Red.
mond, Parnellite leader, was re. elected
over Sheehy, anti Parnellite.
Wales-Mertbyr Tvdval: D. A.
Thomas, liberal, and PrItchard Morgan,
liberal, ere reelected. Newcastle.on-
Tyne: Chamond, conservative, was
elected; Right Hon. John Morley, liberal,
is elected and j. Craig, liberal, defeated.
This is a loss OF one seat to the liberals.
A determined attempt to defeat Mr..
Morley resulted only in the defeat of his
associate Craig. The objection to both
Morley and Craig was failure to sup.-
port the eight.-hour movement.

consideration. The only serious fear of
the free coinage men is, that they may
lose strength. 1t is the belief among
some of the free coinage men that the
passage of the bill by the house would
have detrimental effect on the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket In November,
but this view is met with the assertion
that failure to pass the bill would lose
the democrats the house and this conten-
tion will probably haye some effect.
Meanwhile efforts are being made to
effect combination By which the bill
can be defeated or passed.

The 4th of July was celebrated
after the old d-fashioned methods, and,
as an American citizen, we are
glad to note the fact. As the great
questions which are now asitating the
republic are not of partisan nature.
the orations of the 4th of July were
more of national nature than of a
political kind. In nearly every in
stance, the orators dwelt largely on
the struggle OF the revolution, the
events leading to the Declaration of
Independence, and the establishment

The Democratic party are trying to
play double on the silver bill, and not
to stand pledged to either side of the
question. The leading papers are ad-
vocating the passage of the measure,
now before the house, and which has
passed the senate, for the reason
that the ticket is headed by a mono
metalist, and the action would have no
effect on New York and Massachusetts.
Democrats can say to the people of
these states that the candidate is for
sound currency, and congress can do
no mischief in this regard while
there is a 6rm man in the executive
chair; and turning around in their
steps they can point to the over

Speaking of American VS.. British
trade with Canada, Consul Ryder cf
Quebec says: 'sThe United States
monopolizes the importation of agri-
cultural implements, printing machin-
cry, electrical supplies, fine papers,
leather and manufacturers of leather,
rubber boots, shoes and betting, watch
and clock movements, field and garden
seeds, binders twine, ETC." A fine
catalogue this of articles which testify
to the SURPRISING skill of American
mechanics and workingmen. Oftin-
ware this report speaks az follows:
'In manufactures of tin we supply ten
times as much as Great Britain" Is
it fitting, in view of the magnitude of
our tinware industry, that we should
still be ct the mercy of foreigners for
all the materials of which this tinware
is made? Despite the desire of our
free-trade 'sreformers" that this should
be SO, there is no longer the shadow of
a doubt that every article of tin ex-
ported to Canada in the future will
have been manufactured from Ameri-
can tin plate made by American

GLASGOW, July 5.-Gladstone delivered
an election address at meeting in Stow,
Edinburghshire, yesterday. He declared
that when, in 1879, he anticipated a vic
tory in the then coming election, his an
ticipation was more than realized. He
believed the came thing was bound to
happen now. Parliament would never
be able to attend TO the business of the
country until the Irish question was
settled; the liberals would have to repair
all the present governments work. Glad,
stone also attended meeting In the town
of Corebrldge, and again delivered one of
his forcible characteristic addresses. He
emphasized the necessity for thorough
reform IN the land laws. He said the
demand for universal working day of
eight hours was premature, but the de-
msnd of the miners for an eight, hour day
was more hopeful because if the men
were practically unanimous on the ques
tion no employers objections should
prevent them from attaining the end
which they sought. Where the district
was unanimous in favor of the establish
ment of working day of eight hours, he
believed local option should prevail, al
though be was not confident of the sue
cess of the movement.

The lnwese bidder

WASHINGTON, July 5.--The opening of
bids to- day In the navy department, for
the construction of the dry dock at Port
Orchard. on Puget Sound, brought out
some very interesting results. Il was at
first the intention to build timber dry
dock. but, owing to the teredo in Puget
Sound waters, it was decided by the navy
department that it would have to be
built Of granite and concrete. 1t is the
intention to have the granite taken from
American quarries if possible, and favor
able mentioa has been made of the Spo-
kane granite. There mas been some
competition as compared with British
Columbia granite, but it is thought the
difference in the tariff duty will result in
its being constructed of American granite,
although the transportation from inland
points will be considerably more than if
by water.

The escape of Wilson, the fiend who
murdered little Mamie Walsh, while
en- route from McMinnville to Salem,
is terrible commentary upon justice
in the state of Oregon, and furnishes
stimulus for mob violence. 1t is
without doubt that the fellow commit
ted the crime without the least provo
cation, and was deserving of the Sc
verest punishment. While en- route
to the penitentiary he jumped out of
the buggy and escaped, because unen-
cumbered by shackles, and there was
every reason to induce the officers to
chain him In such manner that he
could not gain his freedom. Execu-
tive officers are responsible to the peo
pie for such mishaps, caused by willful
negligence, because it is a part of
their duty that such matters should
be carefully guarded. They receive a.
liberal salary, have the means at COM
mand to guard against the escape of
prisoners, and when they neglect the
usual precautions they should be held
culpable- Sheriff Kelley knew that
he had a red d-handed murderer in his
charge, and when he attempted to
transfer him from the Portland Jail to
the penitentiary he must have known
that every precaution should have
been taken to insure his safe delivery.
That he did net do this is fully proved
by the successful escape of Wilson,
and he alone is responsible. Every
citizen in Oregon, who has viewed the
crime IN all its horrible details, holds
the sheriff of Multnomah county re-
spensible that Wilson is now at large,
and that he is not in safe keeping un-
til the crime he has. committed could
be tried in court of justice

The free silver bill passed the
senate, but the house appears not
very anxious to take any action. 1t
was generally supposed that the Demo-
cracy was successful in capturing the
lower branch of congress because the
people demanded unlimited coinage,
but the members of the house have
never redeemed their pledges. The
Bland bill was tabled, and now the
senate measure receives no favorable.
reception. This is presidential year,
and Democrats are extremely careful
what legislation they pass for fear they
might jeopardlse the interests of their
candidate.
