suing a BelligereDt Circular.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.--Three letter
carriers, Francis P. Braceland, Frank
Roduet and James O'Sullivan, were sus-
pended today by Postmaster Field for
the issuance of circular letter calling
meeting of the Philadelphia carriers
tomorrow for the purpose of protesting
against what they term "the depart
mental construction of the letter-car-
riers' eight-hour law" which, they
state, deprives carriers ef all the advan-
tages they heretofore enjoyed. AS the
paper was couched in decidedly warlike
and defiant terms, it was impossible for
the postmaster to overlook it.

for Damages in Texas.
GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. 6.-The state
supreme court rendered most remark
able decision in the case of Turner vs.
the receiver of the Missouri, Kansas and

owners, proprietors, etc., and omits re-
ceivers, the latter cannot be held re-
sponsible for injuries inflicted or be COM
PEELED to pay damages.

THIS is OFFICIAL.
The National Democratic Com
mittee Gives It Out.
Campaign Managers Classify Reports
and Claim q Sure Victory For
Cleveland and Democracy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3I.-The Dem.
ocratic National committee had
round.ups Saturday, and at nightfall
the members were prepared to make
the first official claims OF the cam
paign. There were gathered around
the Democratic board Mar. Rarrity,
Senator German, Senator Brice,
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, William G:
Whitney and Bradley B. Smalley.
The affairs in the Apple Jack State
were also gone over by the national
campaigners. Soon after the con-
ference broke up Chairman Harrity
authorized statement, which was
intended 10 include the result of the
talk over New Jersey, as well as the
situation in other States, as 1t ap-
peared to him and his associates.
The document says:
This was the final talk over affairs
in New Jersey previous to the closing
ofthe campaign in that State. Re-
ports from the different parts OF the
State were considered in detail, and
it was confidently believed that
Cleveland and Stevenson electors
would be chosen hy a plurality OF
not less than 10000, while Judge
Worts would be elected governor by
a majority almost as large.
In Connecticut much hard work
has been done, the effort of last week
being clearly apparent. The national
committee is confident from the re-
port of the State committee that Con-
necticut will give Cleveland over
1900 majority, and as some claim
possibly from 1900 to 5000.
In Indiana the latest advices con-
firm the good news, and the State
committee is confident that the ma.
jority of the Cleveland-Stevenson
electors there will not be less than
5000, and may reach $4,000. There
is no doubt in the minds OF the
national campaign committee, from
reports received from the State COM
mittee in New York, that a splendid
victory is about to be won, and this
fact is realized by the Republicans as
well as by the Democrats.
