PHILADELPHIA REPUBLICANS.
McMichaeI and Hackett Nominated ana Har-
mony Is Restored.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. DENOMINATIONS for
county officers to BIO voted for in November
were made by the Republican organization of
Philadelphia to-day. Three Judges OF the Com
mon Pleas Court and one Judge OF the Orphans
Court were nominated. with comparatively
little interest, TO succeed themselves. The
choice OF candidates for City Treasurer and
Register of Wills marked the fruition of har-
mony between the late belligerent elements in
the Republican organization in tho city and
State.
Col: Clayton McMichael, proprietor of the
North american newspaper and one Of the
SONS OF the late Morton MCMichael, once Mayor
of Philadelphia, was named for City Treasurer.
Horatio b Hackett, the eide partner OF David
Martin and a Police Magistrate since 1875.
was named for Register OF Wills. The nom.
inecs represent the ,extremes Of the recent
factions. Mr.. McMichael has been a consistent
supporter of Senator Quay. and the files OF his
newspaper during a recent period in the career
of Boss David Martin would make comic read
ing, considering the fact that Martin, with tho
power to dictate the local nominations, has
practicfuy turned over the office Of City Treas
urer TO his enemy. Another comedy in tho
situation Is the remembrance by the public Of
the cartoons in the McNIichael newspaper
columns representing Martin as a pirate. a
burglar, a briber, and n political. criminal In
front Of the yawning doors OF a jail.

Bakers Discussing the Possibility in Wow OF
the Rise In Fiour.

Bakers in this city are uncertain whether or
not they will be forced, by the increase in the
price OF wheat. to raise the price OF bread to six
cents n loaf. Mr.. Thomas of the New York
Biscuit Comp, my said yesterday when asked IL
the price OF bread was about TO be raised:
Il can tell nothing about it to-day. 1t all
depends upon what others do and the orders l
receive from Chicago. 1t is q very hard ques-
ton to answer"
At FIeischmann's bakery it was said that no
attention had been paid 10 the matter.
1t all depends said their representatives,
on what the other firms do"
The, smaller bakeries on tho east SIDE are
awaiting n movement by the larger houses.
We will not increase our price of bread. said
one, unless we are forced 10 do so. think all
this talk shout increasing the price will not last
long. We will follow the lead OF the larger
firms. / hardly think we will have TO charge a
higher price for bread than we are doing now"
At several other bakeries the same thing WAS
said. The general impression which prevails is
that the price will not be changed.

THE DUKE OF YORK AND IRELAND.

Special Gable Dsspatch TO THE Sus.
DUBLIN, Aug. 24.-The Irish National Fedora.
tion held a meeting in this city to-day. at which
Mr.. John Dillon, 81. p. presided. A resolution
was adopted, which, after expressing deep disap-
pointment that the rumors that amnesty would
be granted to the Irish political prisoners had
proved false, said that ON the strength OF these
rumors tho Irish had been appealed to to abstain
from making demonstrations of their feeling of
detestation of English rule during the visit to
Ireland of the Duke Of York.
While the federation did not desire that per
sonal discourtcsy should be shown a stranger
who was on q professedly non.political visit to
the country, 1t was impossible TO share in honor
ing the representative OF a power which. while
preaching humanity to foreign powers, cruelty

1t may be pointed out in connection with the
above resolution that there has been no official
appeal to the Irish to abstain from showing

PLACE FOR KENTUCKY PoPULIsrs.
They VIII Get on the OmciaI BALLOT In That
State without Petition.

FRANKFORT, KY. Aug. 24.-Attorney.General
Taylor this afternoon rendered his decision ad.
vising and directing Secretary of State Finley
to place the name OF Populist nominee J. A.
Porter on the official ballot to be voted for Clerk
OF the Court Of Appeals at the November cleo
ton. Secretary Finley had refused to place the
name OF Porter on the official ballot. giving as
his reason that last year tho Populists had no
candidate. but voted for Bryan electors and had
lost their individual party standing and must
now make a petition to regain a place on the
ballot.
The Populist committee appealed to Attorney.
General Taylor for an opinion. Mr.. Taylor to-
day gave u long opinion. taking the ground that
the vote cast for Populist congressman last
year was greater than . per cent. OF the total
vote cast, and, while there were no Populist
candidates in all districts. the vote cast was
sufficient, thus ovcrruling the decision OF Soc
rotary OF state Finley. Mr.. Finley will abide
by this decision.
The National Democrats will have to get on
the ballot by petition.
