Republicans Enthusiastic Over 1t and Demo
Gratis Praise Its AdrOitneee.

Gratis Praise Its AdrOitneea.
Men here who have seen too much of politics
and political writing to feel enthusiastic easily
speak of President Harrison's letter in words Of
unbounded praise. 1t is to be expected that
republicans will approve of it and speak in the
highest commentator. They would naturally
do this if it were a very much less able docu-
ment. The fact that it compels praise from
democrats is more remarkable. The democratic
comment is that il is as adroit as it could possibly
be made, and that it is the best and most popu-
lar presentation Of the republican policy that
has vet been made by any one. Its directness
and frankness of expression and the acceptable
form in which the issues are presented. ii is be-
ieved, cannot fail to make an impression on the
reader. Democrats are free to confess that
however they may disagree with the President,
and whatever defects they may see in his argu-
ment from their point of view, it will be very
difficult to make answer to it in a manner to
satisfy the average reader. Their chief attack
will be not that what he says is not right. but
that ii does not correctly. at least not fully,
represent the republican policy.
REPUBLICANS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Among republicans the letter has been re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm. The
treatment of the "force bill issue" is regarded
with great satisfaction The tariff argument is
regarded as marked by the greatest skill. The
discussion of the state bank question is. they
say, calculated to put the democrats on the de-
fensive in very disadvantageous position.
But one of the most adroit things in the letter
is considered to be the treatment Of the school
question and liberty of conscience. as affecting
particularly the local issue growing out Of the
German Lutheran school question in Illinois
and Wisconsin, upon which the democrats
count for an increase Of their strength
Democrats, while praising the Presidents
skill, say that the letter is skillful presenta-
ton of bad case and that as such 1t has
hardly an equal. They do not hesitate to ex-
press their admiration of Mr.. Harrison's
ability and say that the weakness of the repub-
ican position is confessed in the very adroit-
ness of the attempt to avoid dangerous ground.
The evils OF the protective policy, they say, he
seeks to cover with Mr.. Blaine's transparent
mantle Of reciprocity" thus confessing that the
naked policy would not do for exhibition.
On the federal election question they say
that he does not state the republican position,
but confesses its weakness and unpopularity by
trying to avoid It, and that in his attempt to
plaeate the German Lutherans Of Illinois and
Wisconsin he repudiates the policy of his party
in those sections and is guilty Of false pre-
lenses. His letter is, in fnct, they say, made
up of false pretenses very skilfully disguised.
They confess, however, that the letter is going
to be very effective in the campaign, and that
Mr.. Cleveland will have to do some extra
ordinary writing to produce letter which will
compare well with it.

this morning, but President Wilson had a con-
ference with DIR. Edison and DIR. Roberta The
meeting will take place at O'Clock this after
noon. The department employees are all busy,
and the various circulars that have been pre-
pared since the threatened outbreak Of cholera
are being sent out by hundreds.
Dr. Edison is engaged in supervising the gen.
eral sanitary work of his department The
time of Dr. Roberts Is taken up with the labor
of looking after the summer corps of physicians
The physicians are looking for cases of conta-
gious diseases and enforcing the sanitary regula-
tions In the lower part of the city. but in case
of outbreak Of cholera they may be put to work
at that specially
President Wilson did not reach his Office un-
til $50 o clock this morning having reached the
floating hospital at the foot ot East 10th street
by sl5. He gave the necessary directions for
the completion Of the work that is now going
on. The contractor had fifty carpenters at
work.
The men will finish this evening. and the boat
can take parties tomorrow. The steam filters
will not finish for several days vet, but as the
weather Is not cold their presence will not pre-
vent the use Of the vessel should occasion de-
mand. All the alterations will be made by the
end of the week.
NO CLASH IN Authority.
There is not likely 10 be any clash between
the board of health and quarantine officials.
notwithstanding the evident efforts of sensa-
tional papers TO magnify matters OF no i'm
portance. Ii was said in a story published this
morning that the board of health might detain
vessels an additional ten davs after they had
been released by DIR. jenkins. DIR. Bryant
was said to be in favor of such a
course. DIR. BRYANT was not accessible
this morning. but President Wilson denied
the report There wasn't the slightest prob
ability of such a course He said he had faith
In DIR: Jenkins and would not detain vessels

CONDITION OF HAMBURG.
A Physician Of That City Describes a Sad
State Of Affairs.


BERLIN, Sept. 6.-Dr Veuz of Hamburg give 4
graphic description Of the sad condition of
the city. The old town. he saws, is a collection
of dirty, sitting. crowded charnel houses. The
Alter Jungferstieg is desolate. the Alster Pavil-
ion deserted. There are few tram cars and
they are almost empty. The whole city is in
dreary and disheartening contrast to what it
was The tree-lined Spielbuden platz is unfre-
quented and inoppressive stiffness hangs over
it. The cafes are empty
One head waiter. who serves at a restaurant
where formerly 1000 persons ate daily, told the
physician Yesterday that eighteen customers
had been there pto pm. In passing the
Strasse he saw a crowd and six policemen hold
ing it in check, while six women ran screaming
down the road after ambulances which were
bearing their husbands away to the cholera
hospital Occupants of houses. he saws often
run out in the street and beseech passing
policemen to send smbulances to remove
patients, but the police can seldom accede to
their appeals. as the ambulance service Is quite
inadequate TO 6he demands upon il.
At night, DIR. Vuez saws. the streets are COM
pletely deserted by pedestrians, although am-
balances and wagons and hearses can be heard
passing almost constantly. The statistics pub
lished by the authorities DIR. veuz saws, are
utterly worthless On one dav the number of
deaths announced by the health officials was
but one-hah the number registered at the Of
fee.
LONDON, Sept. ga dispatch TO the Daily
Neos from Hamburg says: mo other Euro
pean town presents q greater contrast between
its old and new quarters. The new quarters of
the town and suburbs are handsome and we'll

the town IL dirty and sitting and it population
of 10000 is squeezed into the space Of an
English town OF 5000 inhabftants

TO explore the further recesses of the sunless
labyrinths where each house IL occupied by q
dozen families. The narrow streets are reek-
ing with decaying vegetables and evil-smelling
liquids. The old quarter II . veritable charnel
house in case Of FIRE and . mortal pest house in
case of disease.
1T is a new and terrible plague which privs-
tion and poverty are incubsting. The rsvaees
of the ehoiers are most cspricious. some-
times stopping suddenly, where 1t n
