As Viewed at Washjnoton.

Washington, June 24.-So far as known here no power is vested in the Republican national committee to fill any vacancy on the presidential or vice presidential ticket that might occur between the date of the nominating convention and the first Tuesday in November following. when the people by their votes will determine the status of the candidates. either by re. 1cting them at the polls or by con. ierring upon them the titles of presi- dent and vice president-elect.
 There is nothing to prevent the com. mittee from filling a vacancy on the ticket, that is, no law of prohibition, but. of course, the committee would be answerable to the outraged sense of the great party which 1t represents.

 Dubois declares the Democratic party has always had liberal princi- ples and the negro knows just what to expect from it. With all it's fight on the negroes in the south, I am sat isfied that he may expect more from the Democratic party than from the Republican rule, which just distributes a limited number of offices to negroes at best, and that at the dictation of a negro boss"
