of July speech which Mr.. Campbell made
before Tammany is what did the business.
1t was taken rs a personal insult by Mr..
ii was especially CALLING. Mr. Campbell, in
addition to having been given the privilege
of declining place in the cabinet, has con-
trolled to a much greater extent than any
other one man the Federal appointments
which have been given to Ohio men under
this administration, and his loyalty to Mr..
Cleveland was confidently counted upon.
But that is oil over now, and if Mr.. Camp
bell gets within speaking distance of a
place on the Democratic national ticket he
will do so without any aid from Mr.. Clevc-
land or any member of his administration.
Mr.. Campbell passed through Washington on
his way back home, but he declined to dis
cuss the effect that speech had had or was
likely to have upon his relations with the adj
ministration; but from the talk of some of his
personal friends it is clear that his object in
making the speech was not only to announce
his candidacy for the presidential nomination
but to discount the effect of the robust de-
spirit and letter of the Monroe Doctrine
which everybody expects to be made by the
Republicans in Congress very early in the
next session, Mr.. Campbell knows, as ever
body who has given the subject any attention
does, that nine-tentbs of the people in this
country are opposed to the humble pie. sur
render-everything foreign policy of the pres
ent administration; hence his indirect con
demnation and reputation of it.
Mr.. Willis L. Moore, the new chief of the
weather Bureau is journeyman printer. II
protege of the late Frank Hatton, and the
manner in which he secured the appoint
ment, although himself Republican, shows
him to have the proverbial shrewdness of the
craft. He has been connected with the
bureau for about 20 years. having originally
enlisted as Il private in the Signal service.
and has for several years been chief fore
caster at the Chicago Office He has used a
system of his own in making weather fore
casts. which have proven to be the most
accurate made in the country. He claims
that the system was discovered 10y himself.
and it was his refusal to give away his secret
that put him at the head of the bureau
Secretary Morton wanted the other forecastcrs
to have the benefit Of this system, but it was
only when Moore was sure of being put at
the head of the bureau that he agreed to part
with his secret. The average printer doesn't
need anybody to tell him how to work Il
good thing when it comes his way.

FROM THE CAPITAL.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., July II, 1895.
The man who could have prevented Mr.
Cleveland's nomination in 1872 is determined
to prevent his nomination in 1876. That man
is Senator German. 1t is well known that
German had only to say one word at the
Democratic Convention of "92, and Mr.
Cleveand's nomination would have been i'm
possible. German wanted that nomination
himself, and when a canvass of the conven-
ton showed that while he could get votes
enough pledged to defeat Cleveland, he
could not get enough to be nominated himself
he declined to allow the use of his name he
fore the convention and Mr.. Cleveland was
nominated He wants that nomination now
just as bad as he ever did, and is determined
to keep Mr.. Cleveland out of it whether he
can get it himself or not. His supporters are
some of the shrewdest workers in the demo
cratic party and, like him, they all dislike
Mr.. Cleveland. These men are taking es-
by other methods than the party papers--that
it was the killing OF the Wilson Tariff Bill
which was Mr.. Clevelald's own measure, anG
the adoption of the Gorman-Brice Tariff
Bill, which was publicly denounced although
afterwards signed under compulsion by Mr.
Cleveland, that saved the industrial and
commercial interests of the country from ruin
and the National Treasury from bankruptcy
The German men are perfectly confident
that they can control more than one-third OF
the Democratic Convention and defeat the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland or any nan
named by him, even if they do not succeed in
nominating German. They are not doing
any talking for publication, but they are out
for blood, so to speak, and they are getting
it. too.
One of the few Democrats who is on visit

A Mechanics Statement.

NORTH EAST, July IL, 1885
Mr. EDITOR:
For fear the exhibition of spite displayed
in the Star in last weeks issue in the editors
spread, might lead some people to Judge
wrongly of the members of Independent
Council, No. II, L. A. NJ, against whom the
attack was conferred, we make the folio wing
explanation. For some time past the editor
has had something against the Mechanics.
probably engendered by some action at the
Fourth of July celebration of the knights
last year, aud ever since he has in every way
spoken against the order in the paper and in
private. The lodge has nothing against the
editor except that he charged them an out
rageous price for advertising and printing,
and only recently he charged them Il so for
inserting resolution on the death of Il
brother while the Elkton papers inserted it
gratuitously, and finding that if they kept OIL
patronizing the Star it would bring about
what the editor prophesied in that long word
which he uses in a malicious way. or at least
in financial way. 1t is becoming more
manifest every day that the community is
not only becoming tired of the editor know
it-all way, but also of the method of con-
Quoting his paper. Recently when promi-
nent man spoke of the Star and its manner
of editing, the editor said that "the paper
was as good a the town in which it was pub
lished." Therefore we believe the people
will not judge the council rashly, it being the
oldest lodge in the county, and has for years
and still continues to lead in all good works
