Republican County Campaiguers TO Dis

Chairman Cornelius Van Cott OF the Repub-
lican County Campaign Committee has decided
that the special mission OF his committee in
this campaign is 10 labor among the working
men of this city Tho business men. he says do
not need any arguments by campaign orators to
convince them OF tine necessity of voting for
Mckinley and honest money.
The business men are all right" said Mr.
Van Cott yesterday. They have settled the
question in this campaign and are on the side of
Nick iney. All the big meetings we can get up
for business men and all the parades we can
should affect the thinking workingman, who
must know that the shrewd business man
would enly take the side in this ign which
Is for his interest. and that the interest OF ths
business man and the worklngman are insepn-
rable. since the business man has to depend on
the prosperity OF the workingman for his trade.
The County Committee does not propose To
do its campaign work by indirectjon. however.
we are going right among the workinEmen to
think a long time before they will vote for Bryan

ers among them who will talk TO them in plain

Railroad Men or Chicago Deny Some or the
Bryanite Lies.

CHICAGO. H., Sept lo.-National Commit
teeman Jameson to-day received letter from
the Chicago City Railway Company Employees,
Republican Club. denying in vigorous terms
that the officers of the company had coerced
the men to work for Mckinley. The letter is
signed by James VI. Fish, President. and Charles
T. A. Bateman. Secretary OF the organization
and score of other employees OF the company.
They affirm that the company does not meddle
with tho politics of Its men. and that in this
campaign no inducement Is made to get the
railway employees lined up for Mckinley and
sound money. DIR. Jameson said these rsports
had been circulated by Bryan workers for the
purpose OF destroying tho influence OF the club
anu that they were campaign lies that were now
ennctually nailed by the men most interested
The Republican State Committee has received
Information that the secret labor organizations
are cohspring to elect Bryan. not because of
the free-coinage principles involved, but be-
cause they believe the other parts OF the Chi
cago platform the denunration Of the courts

White House there would be no call ing out of lie

Cook Of this city as the only logical as well as
the strongest candidate for Governor this fall

ent that it seems as IL no had only to announce
his candidacy before the Buffalo Convention

BRIDGEPoRT. Conn. Sept. lo.-The Hon Will
liam d. Bishop. ono OF Bridgeport's old-line and
old-time Democrats and as prominent a citizen
as there is in town. has come out fat footed for
Mckinley. and says that old-line Democrats
who desire the defeat OF Bryan should vote for
Mckinley instead of for Palmer. Mr.. Bishop
once represented the Fourth Congress district at
Washington. He was regarded as one Of tho
New England leaders OF Democracy, ranking
with the late William II. Barnum. In an inter-
view with reporter this afternoon he said:
p" | am going for Mckinley. So far as the tariff
Is concerned, this free coinage OF silver makes n
tariff twice AS strong as the Mckinley tariff. A
free trader or revenuet Ari # man is more ely
TO get n lower tariff with Mckinley in power,
because all imported duties will be double for
they will be paid in gold. Under the Mckinley
and the Wilson tarffs we have tea, coffee sugar,
and other necessities substantially on the free
list. The currency on a silver basis makes an
additional duty. So then with tho financial
question in view Nick Kinleyism is nearer the
lower tariff than II would be under the silver
party
was TO defeat Bryan. but any od-line Demo-
crat who wants TO- defeat Bryan can help it u
great deal more by voting for Mckinley and
having his vote count two instead of one and
that is the reason am for Mckinley"

Vote for Mckinley.
Ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt believes that the
only way to smash Bryan and tho reputation

will do the work completely and thoroughly.
He has said so in interviews within the last two
or three days. and yesterday Henry Hentz ex-
President OF the Cotton Exchange and Chair
man Of tho Sound-money Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. endorsed this view and
said:

No Eruption of Mount Hood.

From the San Francisco Call.
Richard U. Gocde and Henry Gannett of
the United States geological survey ar
rived here yesterday after several months
in Idaho and other parts of the northwest.
On their way down they went to the top
of Mount Hood with the idea Of establish
ing a triangulation station there. The
gentlemen were there at the time Of the
alleged outbreak of stones and ashes, but
say that all 1t appeared to have been was
simply rock slide. There are loose piles
or rocks along the great mountaiE in many
places, ard the moving of any one of these.
which occurs frequently, causes scores of
tons of rocks to be dislodged and go clat-
tering thousands of feet away. This ap-
pears to have been about all the Mount
Hood outburst amounted to. However,
there are and have been for great many
years, SO MeSsrs. Goode and Gannett state,
smoke and sulphuric emissions from the
mountains. The air is at times very
strongly impregnated with the smell Of
smoke and sulphur.

the Editor of The Evening Star:

TO the Editor of The Evening Star:
What is the matter with those i'm au-
thority? Several days have passed since
the storm, and many of our principal thor
oughfares present very nearly the appear
ance they did the morning after So much
has been published and said about the in
competent management of the street clean
ing department, and the Commissioners
attention has so frequently been called to
it, that it would seem a waste of time to
make further attempts at reform in this
direction, but it has been suggested that
the Commissioners are perfectly well aware
where the difficulty lies, and what the
remedy is for all this miserable business.
If so, why don't they act? If they hold the
remedy, why don't they apply it?
BY way of variety, now, can you inform
your readers how ii happens that a portion
of the contractors work has been taken
from him? Many of our streets are being
swept by hand. If ii is an experiment to
test the quality of work done by the ma
chine brComs, by all means let the expert
ment be continued Indefinitely. L have
heard many Communications of il in
Georgetown and the northwestern section
OF the city. Claiming no knowledge of the
relative cost of the two systems, one thing
has already been demonstrated beyond
cavil. viz, the hand sweeping is incom-
parably superior to anything the contractor
has done with his machines. Dirt that is
skipped and jumped by the machines, and
left for the elements to play havoc with, is
taken up by the hand broomers, and the
cutters are left IN .parlor condition" COM
pared with the sloverly manner in which
the work is done by the machine men,
Then there is no need of Spr,nkling and
mud making when the work is done by
hand, and the whole business of cleaning
can be done in the daytime, SO that any
body may see and criticiSe. Besides the
annoyance and hindrance to traffic on the
streets, a nuisance conspicuously forced
by machine sweeping, will cease should
hand sweeping prevail. AS it has been in
timated that the Commissioners will recon-
mend an appropriation of over SoO0NW for
next years street cleaning, We may not
unreasonably conclude that such an extra
ordinary increase over former appropria-
tions is for the purpose of giving us further
proof that hand sweeping is preferable.

Complaint regarding the scandalous con-
dition of the streets on Capitol Hill is not
