The medical commissioners Of the
Health Board, Dr. Bryant, SAID to-day:
81 DO Lot t ak that the disease Will
become ep 4mic." This, he says, is
almost ASST ed, from the fact that no
suspicious. tses have occurred, since
yesterday. There seems to be but
little danger" said DR.. Bryant, $50 far
Every precaution has been taken by
the Board of Health to combat and
crush the disease wherever it may ap.

DR.. Edison Of the bureau Of conta
glous diseases was also Of the opinion
that there will be no cholera epidemic
here. 81 think its spread will be less
than the typus fever" said he. CAS- tc
where the cholera came from, it is the
question we are trying to solve. 1t is
in the city, and it must have come from
some outside source. 1t must have
passed some quarantine. l think that
before twenty-fOur hours we will have
run down the direction from which
the disease came. There may be cases
of sporadic cholera over the city, but !
think the disease will be speedily over

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The Demo.
cratic National Committee has issued
the following address:
10 the people of the United States:
The Democratic National Committee
congratulates the country on the re-
suit OF the recent State elections in
Maine, Vermont and Arkansas. In
Arkansas z tI the combined opposition

tell short by over 10000 of the votes of
the Democracy alone. This has brought
dismay to the combination in the
SOUTH and its manipulators in the
North. In Maine and Vermont the
contest was conducted distinctly on
national issues. The Republican man.
ayers appealed for votes in those States
on the ground that the "siZe of the
plurality would exert great moral in
fluence on the campaign in Other
States" and that the poll would be
practically our vote for President

and which was unaided from without,
the campaigG of our adversaries for a
triumphant test vote in these States,
so carefully planned and SO thoroughly
and fOrcibiy executed, has ended in
conspicuous disaster. Our friends
everywhere are entitled to take fresh
courage from these results. They

and that the people of the country are
prepared to enforce, rather than re-
verse, the verdict which they rendered
in 1890.
