Secretary Fairchild said this af ternoon in
nplanation of his action offering to antioi-
nets interest on the pnblie debt and to pur
chase bonds, that be did it simply because
Ungatded it os the best thing that could
l« done under the circumstances. The
purchased bondB, he said, is [for the pur-
i«eof providing for the sinking fund, and
tie anticipation of interest is for the pur
pose of gettiug rid of the surplus. The
litter operation, he said, is only what any
dbnsiness man would do to discount
_ obligations. The anticipation of inter-
at is one of the two means given the Sec
retary of the Treasury for disposing of sur-
plus funds, and he regarded it as the cheap-
at and moat advantageous.
The interest covered by the ctroular
mounts to $22,319,784. It is impossible
jut now to state the exaot amount of re
late. The sinking fund rrqniremeut, will
mount te about $26,000,000, in addition to
the {20,000,000 of three per cent bonds
already applied.
The anrpius, said Mr. Fairchild, can be
put on only through the oo-operation of
loud holders, and if they do not accept the
term of the proposition made to them it
would seem that they are not in very great
seed of money.

Philadelphia, August 4 —A solemn
requiem mass for tbo repose ol the souls of
deceased members of the Catholic Uoion of
America was celebrated this morniogjio the
cathedral. Tbe total abstinence conven
tion was called to order at 10:30 o’clock by
-President Cleary. As tbe treasurer, Rev.
J. B. Bowles, of Ohio, had died since the
last report, the report of his exeoutors was
read by Secretary Philip Nolan. It showed
a balance on baud of $503
A resolution waa adopted that a commit
tee compcsed of one member from oach
subordinate union be appointed to formu
late plans for proper celebration of the
golden jubilee celebration of Pope Leo XIII.
President Cleary appointed tbe follow
ing committee: Thos.J. Henry, Baltimore;
I*. A. McKenna, Boston; J. F.
Ji.lta, Brooklyn; H. J. Maguire,
pklsago; Rsv. W. H. Rogers, Conpecticut;

The committee of constitutional amend
ments reported that^no alterations iu the
constitution were deemed advisable. Tbe
rshort was aooepted.
ght Rev. Bishop Kean, of Riohmond,
Va, was requested to speak, aud complied
by the delivery of an eloquent address, for
which the convention passed a vote of
thanks. The moBi important business of
the day was the reading and adoption of
tbe report of the committee on resolutions,
whichquite lengthy and contains mostly
pledges to farther exertion in the oause of
temperance. Reference is made to Ireland
in the following resolutions as part of tbo
report:
"Resolved, That while we welcome as
true citizens the anniversaries whioh oom-
memorate cherished periods and hallowed
memories of Amerioau liberty forever asso-
oiatod with Philadelphia's Independence
Hall, we also hail beforehand, as lovers cf
liberty the world over and of ohlldren still
of the divided Gaels, the coming cf Ire
land's independence and pledge anew to aid
its coming—our efforts increasing, onr re
sources unfailing and onr uudying devo
tion."
The report concludes with this rejoin
tion:
Resolved, as an additional means of
furthering our grand, oar noble and holy
undertaking, that the nnlon recommend to
alt tocietlea the formation of cadet corps
and a centennial celebration in 1888 ol the
signing ol the pledge of onr national temp
erance father, Theobald Matthew.”

resolutions, Father Doran, of the commit

the resolution stricken ont, while others
argued for the adoption of the entire report.
It wss finally ordered that as a request hnd
been made the rules required that the reso
lutions bo read separately and acted upon
in that manner.
This was done, end the first vote was
curried withont difficulty. The taking of
the ballot on tire olijpcliuoel resolution be*'

the total voto iu favor of striking out. This

whioh the ballot proceeded to tbe close, re
sulting in a vote of 563 in favor of striking
ont, to 267 in favor of retention of tbe
clauses. While the vote was being counted
by the secretary, Father McKenna moved
that the whole matter he indefinitely post
poned. President Cleary, however, ruled
that tbe voto was in order.
The committee on the golden jubilee of
Pope Lao XIII. recommended that the oc-
ciaion he fittingly celebiated by the National
Union, and suggested that an address sigaod
by every member of the Union in America
and a copy of tbe proceedings of tbe con
vention, translated into Italian, be present
ed to the Pope. Tbe matter was left en
tirely in the hands of the new president,
vioe-preeident and treasurer, to eot os they

The election of offleeri resulted in the

State Convention assembled at 12 o'clock.
Hon. .Joan S. Barbour, chairman of tbe
State Executive Committee, called tbe con
vention to order. After land ealls Mr. Bir-
honr arose and addressed the convention.
He said the calling of a Democratic conven
tion was always in order in the
State, bat there was great opposition to
this. ‘ Bat it was too obvions that a conven
tion was neoessary on aeconnt of the mo
mentous questions involved. He said the
question before the people of Virginia waa
tno division on the debt question that pre
sented itself. He said differences of opin
ion could be better determined in tbe party,
and cosnoiled harmony and dispasatona.e
discussion of all issues involved.
He said the delegate* present were fresh
from the people, and no doubt reflected the
sentiment of the people. Far better would
it be that any differences of opinion be dis
covered now, rather than after the election.
Far better now, than to have the speetaele
of a candidate in oue part of the State run
ning on one set ot opinions and another,ean-
didate in the field holding different views,
nd both claiming to belong to tbs Demo
cratio party. It differences existed now,

when he said that President Cleveland’s ad
ministration was tbe most American and
most honest the country had had during
the last half century,
John Bell Biggtr was elected Bicretary,
and the convention adjourned until 3
clock.
The convention reassembled at 4 p. m.
Hon. John Goode, of Norfolk, was made
permanent chairman and addressed the
convention, declaring in favor of tbe Rid-
dloberger bill as a finality in the [settlement
of the State debt. Ho indorsed President
Cleveland and was greeted with great ap

request the Congress of the United States to
pa*9 such laws hh will prevent tLo immigra

burden upon the taxpayer* of tLi-. country

statistics by the labor bureau or the United

establishment of a labor bureau, to investi

of the laboriog cIajm. The public lands, the
heritage of the people, should be held for
actual settlers, and no more grantH should

Resolved, fcThat we indorse and heartily
approve the wise and judicious administra
tion of Fitzbugh Lte ah Governor of Vir
ginia. We deprecate the payment
of any taxes or dtus to the common
wealth in coupons as unwise and unpatri
otic, and we call upon tho taxpayers of tho
StAte to refuse to take this advantage of
the commonwealth. Tho people have the
absolute control and tbe decision of tho debt

pursue tho patriotio polioy whioh haa char

will soon effec'ually accomplish a settle

tbo taxpayers to stand by tho State in this
contest.
We earnestly ^deprecate tho present
unnecessary absorption in the treasury of
tho United States of tho currency of tho

restoration of Democratio adminlstratione.

and contllenco to a record of pledgee faith-
Inlly performed and to guarantees of good
government which it offers.
1. Tbe wise, conservative,' fearless and
honest administration of Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, deserves
and will receive the eordial support of the
Democracy of Virginia.
2. We demand tbe immediate repeal of
tbo internal revenue system—a relic of the
war, and no longer necessary to meet the
demands of the government; because it is
aggressive, fosters monopolies, and is ob
noxious to the interests of our people.

and so adjusted in its application as to pro

Louisville, Aogust 4.—There are aro no
returns in this morning, in addition to
those in tho morniog papers. A very fair

not donbt that Buckner will have 22,GC0
more votes than Bradley. If the majority

ocrats have only themselves to blame."
The Commercial’s summary la as follows:
seventy-eight counties have reported so far,
leaving forty-one to report. These figures
are from most reliable despatches, agreeing
with returns received at both the Republi
can and Democratic headquarters. Tho av
erage gain per county from reports so far
received ia 325 On the same ratio tbe net
Republican gain of tho whole State will bo
38,675. This will leave tho majority for
llackner, counting the vote for Knott at
•14 OCX), of 5,725. The groan Republican
gain, 60 far is heard from, is 25,000. Six
counties show a Democratio gain of 589,
leaving a net Republican gain of 21 4II.
Louisville, Angnat 4 —The Courier-
Journal has reports from 74 counties out of
119. These cast 77 per cent, of tbe entiro
voto of the State in 1884, when Olevelaud's
majority was 34,839. In thene oonnties the
redaction of Cleveland's vote has been
.228. Applying the same rate to tho re
maining coantles, the redaction in Backner’s
vote will be 11,988. This will l^ve * Dem
ocratio mijority of 24,851. The returns dur
ing the p-ist twenty-four hours show that
the Republicans do not maintain their pre
vious gains.
