WASHINGTON. Aug. 90, so.

LAO ANFSS~sN Nis1k ~ NHE 0Stu-
ocra;ic national headquafters, in
New York City, ard his talk is far
from complimentary 10 those n
charge. He is credited with sny-
ing that Herrity and Dickinson
are both Idiots. as far as national
politics are concerned, aud that the
entire Democratic campaign, MS
far as 1t has gone, has been q
batch OF errors, for which Whit.
ney is aa much responsible 90
lHarrity and Dickinson. Mr. Yor-
hees tslis his Democratic friends
that ii the election were to be held
now, Oleyeland could not carry
New York TO save his life, and
that he saw nothing when there to
base any hopes for an improve
ment in the situation.
This information from Senator
Voorhees, is, SO far as il refers 10
New York state, is in accord with
that received through Republican
sources. Senator Perkins, OF Kan
sas, who h8s also been in New
York, says he found the Republi-
cans in good shape sll around,
and that the campaign is being
vigorously snd intelligently push
ed, and that be has not the slight
est doubt of the election OF Harri-
son and Reid by larger electoral
vote than that cast for Harrison
| sSd Morton. OF his own state Mr.
Perkins says: 1--WE have a hot
tight on our hands, with the Dem.
Ioerotlc party swallowed up by the
so-calle6 People's party, but You
may put It down rs certain that

( gressed lar enough 10 make il alb

st. The prosperity OF the farmers
OF cur state is leaving ths dema-
| gogues, whose stock in trade is
woe, without argument.
! II tGe cholera getsinto the Unit
/ ed 6gstes 1t will not be because
OF any lack of effort On he part of
tue Marine Hospital Service to
keep 1t o0t, although it is sbso-
lutely necessary thst the various
state and city health authorities
should intelligendy cooperate
With this buresu to make the quar-
antlne sctually preventive, The
Marine Hospital Service, which is
a bureau OF. the Treasury Depart
ment, has control Of the congress
ionGI appropriation known as tue
epidemic Tund, which vail be used
to keep out this dreaded disease.
Collectors of customs al al ports
OF entry viii act in conjunction
with the Marine Hospital Service,
and while there may be isolated
cases of the cholera which viii
evede the vigilance of the oparan-
tine authorities and GET into our
sesbosrd cities, it is believed that
the precautions taken Will make It
impossible FOR it to become epl-
demic.
4 local Democrat OF prominence
says that Whitney told him that |
Mr. Cleveland would try in his |
letter of acceptance to tone down |
the effect of the plsin spoken free |
trade plank in the national plat
form, which is doing his party 50 |
much harm in New York, Newi
Jersey, and Connect1cut-states |
which he must carry 10 be elected. |
Ii Is Zoo late for any toDiug down |
process, and nothing that MIR.
Cleyeiend can say in his letter can
change the Issue OF this campaign
protection VS.. free trade.
Much regret is expressed here
at the announcement that Senator
Dawes, Of Massachusetts, whose
term expires March { 1888, will |
not be candidate for reelection.
MIR, Dawes has been one of the
wheel horses of the Republican
party fer SO many years that bis
absence cannot fail 10 be felt; but
t5ero IS consolation in tle fact
that Massachusetts has many able
Republicans and that his succesg-
or IS certain 10 be a good man.
Tie most troublesome problem
that the citizens committee in
charge CT the G. 4. L. enoamp-
ment had to deal With has been
satisfactorily solved. That WAS to
arrange for q plentiful supply of
good wholesome food, well cooked.
and at a reasonable price. in close i
proximity TO the barracks IN which II
tree sleaping accommodations will !,
be furnished all veterans who do
not engage their own quarters. A t,
has been made with g
caterer who has had vide exper-
ience n feeding large crowds, by /
which he agrees to furnish those
OF the visitors who desire regular
meals with three good meals FOX
81 per day, and TO supply at all
times during the might CT day,
