The superintendent claims that muoh tit the work of the bureau baa been com pleted end that hie appropriation Is run ning low, hence this action is rendered Imperative. These dismissals have been accompa nied with many scenes of distress. Large numbers of the emoloyees have been tempted to come here from their distant homes to take places In the cen sus bureau, hoping for something more permanent to turn up. These hope* have been disappointed, and an their salaries have not been sufficiently large to enable them to eave, tboro are num bers of them who will have to appeal to friends and relatives at home for the to return.

OPINIONS OF THE NEW YORK PA- : PERB-HM'KINLEY MAY NOT WIN T. djii-'vTq V‘1 hiUii After All-Too Much; Brax In the Ohio ' '(ton vat lion—lfr!' MsKietsy'sNomlnstten Opens the Csnipslcn of ga—II Will Be Vice-President Campbell. Washington, D. C., June I8.-r-Refer- ring editorially to the notion of the Ohio state oonventlon i yesterday, the New York Herald of to-dayleaya: “ft la poeaiblethatMoKInlay'achances of victory have been overrated, Ohio Is a strong republican state, to be sure, but if a high tariff candidate . doesn't make a losing fight, w* shall be sur prised.!’ The World saya: ‘The republican cry Is McKinley and high taxes. The struggle will be on, the issue* of the pres ent tariff law. The people of.Ohlo have already passed on the Issue, eleotiag fourteen democratic congressmen to ■even republicans. It is not probable that their i experiences: nnder the law have changed, the convictions of Obkr voter*.”: . ,.r -1 :.i-. !-:i -- The Tribune declares that “the con ventlon did good work. The rivalry of the leaders was. put aside to a perfect harmonious union, which .will make tho party Irrosiatable. Sherman set a noble example by refusing to permit any effort towards his i ro-electkm to causa - the slightest discord, The platform Is con- olsa fearless and forclhlo” The Recorder, a Blaine organ, says that “Major McKinley’s address In ac cepting tip:commission of the republl- cans of Ohio is,an . elaborate exposition of the record, principles sad aspirations ot the party.: : The- , most striking utter ance la his unreserved endorsement of the Blaine doctrine of reciprocity, in ad vocacy of which bo follows the natural leader of all of our people.” The Frees predicts the election of Mo Kinley by 60,000 majority. The Morning Advertiser thinks that McKinley's nomination was both proper andlogioal. As the putative father of the present tariff set. he Is entitled to stand or-falL He was defeated for con gress lost year in n strong democratic district and it is bis right to appeal to tho people. It will be a glorious fight Should Mr. Campbell he renominated and .win there will be nothing to bar his wayto a. vice-presidontlal nomination. The stakes are great on .both aides, and upon the Ohio election will depend the shaping of presidential politics In “83." The Times moralizes thus: “Brag is a.good dog, but Hold Fastis a better.” The republicans of Ohio, with the evi dent consciousness of opening tho. cam paign of '83, started out yostenlny with "Brag," and left “Hold Faet" to follow as be chooses. They took-MoKlnley for their, candidate and McKInleyism for their platform and left Senator Sher- an. The choice of McKinley was a procla mation that the Campaign for next year was. opened. ' It la intended to make McKinley tlie next governor of Ohio and Foraker the next senator, and, if Colonel CongCr’s prediction is to be verified, the next republican candidate for president will not bo Mr. Harrison, but Major McKinley." The Sun baa notaline or a syllable on the subject of Ohio politics. They Return Uncured.
