1t was after o'clock yesterday after
noon before the Newbern steamer ELI

avenue.
The delay was caused by the difficulty
in getting water supply, the manhole,
in which the water was stored, leaking
too rapidly to be of service.
The exhibit was hardly satisfactory
to the large crowd present, but the fault
was not in the engine but the water
supply.
Water was thrown in a little less than
four minutes, and the prize was $50.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Mr. Whitney
said after reading the dispatches from
Buzzard's Bay, that under no conditions
would he accept the craftsmanship of the
democratic national committee.
81 do not think am fitted for such a
position" he added. "Of course am
going to do all the work can and am
sure can do more out Of the chair than
in it. The chairman's work is purely
routine and am not able to do that
sort of work. AT times like these | can
not even read all my letters, less answer
them.
"Thc truth is, the national committee
has never been properly organized on our
side. The organization has never been
broad enough for the work. One man
has always undertaken too much. Cor
man in 1884 and Bricc in 1888 did each
the work of dozen men. | am ready to
take my share, but, unfortunately, l
have to work i'll my own way to be OF

find. lie should DC a man with good

important of all, patient with details, APP

1.-THE third branch of the organization
should be a sufficient number of men,
four or five we will say, men of zeal and
energy, with executive force to assume
charge of the different branches of the
work. With such an organization the
campaign will gather force and grow
stronger every day. The party has.plenty
of material tor this organization. The
disposition to enlist and sacrifice for sue
