The Reformers Agree to Put Up 81, 700
If the Other Side VIII Do the Same.
CHARLESTON, 8. O.. Aug. 1.-THE demo-
cratic factions here are still squabbling over
the subject Of finances. 1t has now tran
spired that the reform faction Of the demoo-
racy had a caucus and ehipped in to the
amount of 81, 200, which they have offered
to put up for their candidates IL the regulars
will do the same and thus abandon ASSESS
ment Of candidates The assessment based
on the scale figured out by the executive
committee would be as follows: For
the reform candidate, seven representa-
tives at 800 each, $500; one congressman
$500, one clerk Of court $3.50, one sheriff $500,
four coroners $500, two school commits
sioners $3.50, ten county commissioners $500,
two solicitors S400; total So, $50. or course
three-fourths of this amount under the
rule of the state committee Is TO be returned
to the unsuccessful candidates. The plan
has been submitted TO the executive COM
mittee, which will meet tomorrow to con-
slider it, In the meantime the limit of time
ia which candidates must put up the cash
expires on Friday, the 18th. No account Is
taken in these estimates Of the candidates
for appointive offices, who are, however, TO
be voted for at the primary. Some OF the
candidates for trial Justice are dropping out
of the race for the alleged reason that there
is no law to make the governor appoint
them even il they run at the primaries. 1t
is more than probable that the executive
committee will back down from its stand on
the assessment business. The latest devel-
opment is the announcement that State
Senator A. T. Smythe will be induced to
stand for reelection and that he will not be
opposed by the retormers, their candidate
having withdrawn from the race.

UNCLE SAM AND THE RIOTS
Federal Troops Not to Be Sent Unless
Asked For.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Gea. Grant,
who is acting as Secretary of War, said this
afternoon that the war department had no
information, whatever, regarding the labor
troubles in New York and Tennessee, be-
yond what is furnished by the. press dis
patches, and that he had no reason to ap-
prehend a call for federal interference in
either case. New York, in particular. has
splendid militia organization, fully
competent, In his opinion. to deal
with the present situation, and he would be
very much surprised II the aid of the gov
ernment were Invoked. In such an event,
however, there would be Immediately avail.
able two companies Of infantry at Buffalo,
three companies OF infantry at Fort Niagara
and the entire Ninth regiment at Sackett's
ha rbor at the foot Of Lake Ontario.
Gen. Grant said that while the authorl-
ties of Tennessee were not so well prepared
as those of New York to quell local dis
turbances, he felt confident that Gov.
Buchanan with the forces at his COM
mand would be able to put a stop
30 the rioting at Oliver Springs without the
aid OF the government troops The nearest
available troops for service in Tennessee, in
case they are needed, are seven companies
OF artillery at Atlanta, six companies Of in
fantry at Cincinnati and one company Of
infantry at Newport barracks.
PROTECTION OF THE MAILS.
Gen. Grant said he did not think there
would be any serious interruption OF the
mail service and was confident that the
postal authorities were fully competent to
deal with the trouble at Oliver Springs so
far as the mails are concerned without any
assistance from the war department.. He
said he could not recall case where troops
were needed to protect the mails. Mobs
always respected their right of way.
Troops would of courss be
used for that purpose in case
of necessity. Gen. Grant explained that
federal troops were never ordered out by
the President for the suppression of
domestic violence until he was satisfied
that the state authorities had exhausted all
the resources ct their command and were
powerless ,unsided, to deal with the situation.
This would explain, he said, why troops
were not sent to the aid Of Gov. Buchanan
last spring when there were similar labor
troubles.
The President answered the governors
appeal for aid by the statement that it did
not appear that he had exhausted his entire
resources In the matter, aud that the gov
ernment was not inclined to interfere until
that was done. That the President was
right 10 his view was fully demonstrated by
the subsequent suppression Of the disorder
by the state authorities.
