Bpodal to the Scranton Tribune.
Washington, Oct. 17.
A bill recently carried through con
gress under the leadership of Mr. Dock
cry, of Missouri, under the plausible
plea of economy, dispensed with the
services of KO clerks by abolishing sev
eral important bureaus in the treasury
department. Among other criticisms
offered In opposition to this measure it
was urged that It was cruel in the pres
ent state of unexempted business de
pression to legislate out of ollice so
many employes, many of whom wer
disabled from other than clerical occu
pation by wounds and diseases con
tracted in the military and naval ser
vices of the government, und thus aug
ment tj"?:reat body of the unemployed
and BuC-ing.
It isrtportant to note just how the
old soldiers and the Republican ofllclulfe
and clerks have fared under the
chunges and transfers that have taken
place. Every one of the Democratic
officials and chiefs of division who were
legislated out of ollice have been given
places equally as good, and In many
cases better, in other bureaus, where
old and experienced and valuable offi
cials were dismissed In order to make
places to be Hilled by these favored
ones. In the transfers of the clerical
force under the new law no Democratic
clerk has suffered; but with the old
clerks, nearly all soldiers, and who are
supposed to be Republicans, the re
verse has Invariably taken place.
WILSON CASH FLOWS.
Another Itlg Installment of Administra
tion .Money Soon to Jle Tapped.
Washington, Oct. 17. There Is every
reason to believe that a large corrup
tion fund will leave here soon for use
by the Democrats In "William L. Wil
son's district. Assessments on the office
holders have been last and furious for
the past few days; and the Democrats
are evidently badly frightened.
Senator Gorman is taking a hand In
Wilson's behalf not, it is said, out of
special love for Wilson, but because he
wants to retain control of the next
house, for purposes which will develop
later. Gorman, many persons claim,
has an eye on the presidential nomina
tion two years hence, arjd by turning In
for Wilson hopes to win the hitter's
neutrality If not his active support.
Today Wade Hampton started for the
field of buttH? In West Virginia. A dozen
small-fry office holders went with him.
From now on the Charleston district

3y the t'nitcd Press.
Pittsburg, Oct. 17. Congressman
Slpe's high-handed assessment of em
ployes of the Pittsburg revenue office is
to be rigidly investigated. Mr. Sipe will
probably be proceeded against unless
powerful influences Intervene. Accord
ing to the civil service regulation passed
by congress In 1883 congressmen are not
permitted to receive or solicit contri
tions or assessments from government
employes. Sipe Is credited with hav
ing demanded of all the employes in
Collector of Internal Revenue Keurns'
office one month's salary apiece.
The Democratic factions opposed to
Sipe were aroused to bitterness becuuse
Sipe not only got ahead of them in mak
ing the assessment but refused to divide
with them, keeping the money for a per
sonal campaign fund. They notllled
the civil service commission at Wash
ington and Teddy Roosevelt did the
rest.

Grovcr Is Expected to Send u Check und
a l'ormul Lifter.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Washington, Oct. 17. Administration
mouthplecec have it here that Mr.
Cleveland will soon send a contribution
to the New York state campaign fund,
accompanied by a brief letter, in which
he will urge the importance of Demo
crats standing together so as not to
give "the enemy" an opportunity to win
through Indifference or failure of duty
to the party by any Democrat.
It Is said that this will be done In the
most informal, matter-of-course man
ner possible, the letter being merely a
conveyance for the contribution of
money.
YET MORE CANDIDATES.

By the United Press.
New York, Oct. H.-fix-ClvIl Justice
Alfred Heckler says it is extremely
llkfcly the Independent county organiza
tion will put a third municipal ticket
In the field.
"The independent county organiza
tion has been disgracefully treated by
the committee of seventy, and their ac
tion in lvlng every position possible
to the Grace people may reap its own
reward," said Mr. Heckler.
ONE CLEVER TRICK.
The Democrats Would Like to Work It, if
They Only Could.
By the United Press.
Washington, Oct. 17. The Democrats
have endeavored by every means in
their power to connect the Republican
congressional campaign committee
with the movements of the A. p. A. in
various sections of the country. Hardly
a day passes that Chairman Babcock
does not receive Inquiries on the sub
ject, apparently showing a widespread!
conspiracy to work up sentiment
against the Republicans in the cam
paign. "One of the first things I did after
my election as chairman," said Chair
man Rabcock today, "was to warn
everybody connected with the commit
tee to steer clear of all isms, and my in
structions have been carefully and
scrupulously observed throughout. I
insisted that we were working for the
success of the Republican party, and
could have no relations with any fac
tion whatsoever its name might be."
The hardest part of the work of the
Republican campaign committee Is over.
Between live and six millions of ar
ticles have been mailed to all sections
of the United States, and the work of
the mailing force is now principally
eonfined to tilling orders.
GRACE FAVORS HILL.
The former Ke former Comes Out Squarely
if or Tutninany's Boss.
By the United Press.
New York, Oct. 17.-A conference was
held at Democratic headquarters today
between John Boyd Thatcher, William
R. Grace and Francis M. Scott in regard
to the placing of Senator Hill's name at
the head of the Grace ticket. Nathan
Straus, Tammany candidate for mayor,
yesterday objected to Senator Hill's
allowing the Grace men to head their
ticket with his name. After the con
ference today it was said that the reg
ular state ticket will head the Grace
Democratic local ticket.
After his long talk with Mr. Timelier,
Mr. Grace made the following state
ment: "We shall strain every effort to
secure Mr. Hill's election. As to the
local Issue, I Can only aay that we are
strongly in favor of Mr. Strong."
SIIEPARD IS HOPEFUL.
The Defection of Urueo and Coiidcrt
Doesn't Discourage Him.
By the United Press.
New York, Oct. 17. David Bennett
HIirs shrewd and talented enemy, Ed
ward M. Shepard, keeps on untiringly
in his effort to get his independent
Democratic ticket in the field. He de
clares he is pained but not depressed by
the reported defection of Grace and
Coudert. His candidate, Mr. Wheeler,
will, of course, accept, and while he
does not claim the ticket will win, it will
vindicate the principle of reform. Mr.
Shepard's party is officially known n&
the Democratic party reform organiza
tion. Mr. Falrchlld is said to have
named the association.
Where this organization will do the
most for reform will be in Kings county,
where it has a strong following and
where It purposes putting a full local
ticket in the field.
MURPHY IN EVIDENCE.

cent Kuns at Foot Ball.
Special to the Scruntou Tribune.

By the United Press.
Springfield, 111., Oct. 17. Vice-President

through Missouri, and will speak at a
number of points in that state, and
after making speeches at several other
prominent points In the west, will come
east and go through to New York to as
sist his friend, Senator Hill, In his cam
paign. The action of the vice-president in
entering the New York canvass hus re
vived the story that he and Senator
Hill have an understanding about the
presidential nomination of 1S9U.
REPUBLICANS 31 AY CONTROL.
They .Figure on a Small .Majority in the
Next House.
Special to the SerantoiiTrlbune.
Washington, Oct. 17. The Republican
committee will make no statement of
prospects in each state. It can be said
authoritatively that the inside esti
mates are that the Republicans will
have from 185 to 1"J0 congressmen.
One hundred and seventy-nine are re
quired to organize the house. That
would give them a majority of from 12
to 22.

Columbus, O., Oct. 17.
William Dolby, alius Jasper, a colored
man, who pleaded guilty on an ar
raignment for-an assault upon an aged
white woman at Washington court
house, was sentenced today to twenty
,yeura in the penitentiary. The sheriff
and three companies of militia started
with him to the prison, but at the depot
the mob got possession of the prisoner.
The militia charged, killing three of
mob and recapturing the prisoner. He
was then hurried back lo the jail.
Colonel Colt, of Columbus, is in com
mand of the state troops. At 5 o'clock
this evening Colonel Colt telegraphed
Adjutant General Howe that all was
quiet and he would leave with the mili
tary guard us aid to the sheriff in
bringing Dolby to the state prison In a
few minutes. Since then no official In
formation has been received, but a tele

General Howe has ordered the First

Coloned Colt's command.
Governor McKlnley is at Hamilton
tonight, and is fully advised, and wires
his private secretary that unless quiet
is restored at Washington court house,
he will abandon his southern trip and
return here at once.

PAY
ENOUGH
Some people are too amious to sr
When buying a watch, thinking that a
cheap wulch will do as wo 1 1 as a kckx) one,
nnd that all the difference In watches Is
the price. May be that It required a
moral eilort on your part to pay us $10 for
a plain looking but honest timekeeper,
when somebody else generally offers you
H gold watch for .50 and Just for rooiI
ness sake throws In a Kold chain and
charm. Of course It Is all a "tame
Hcliwlmlle," as tho Jew said when lie went
up In tho balloon and couldn't find the stl-,
ver linlnif of tho cloud. It happens every
now anil then that a person sends off for
a pold watch, gets it, and then loses faith
In watches und humanity for ever and
ever. We think It would pay you to cull
on us and seo if we have what you wutit,
and If wo can't suit you ut all out of a
Inrtre stock of watches, why It Is time
enoiiKh then to send out of town for A $iW
gold watch.
