New York, June 28.—The corridors of
Fifth Avenue Hotel were unusually active
this morning, the occasion being a meet
ing of the Republican naUonal committee.
It was agreed among the closest friends of
Blame and Logan that the chairman should
not he chosen from among those who had
been pronounced radical advocates of
Blaine's nomination, but that he should
be some representative of the party gen
erally, and especially a representative of
tbe solid business and manufacturing ele
ments of the country. To this end,
Messrs. Elkins of New Mexico, Clarkson
of Iowa and Chaffee of Colorado,
who ba<l been discussed for the chairman
ship, all declined to be considered a can
didate, and urged the selection of Mr,
Jones, of Pennsylvania, who stands at the
head of the Pittsburg iron manufacturing
interests. He is one of the most success
ful business men of the country and a man
who will command the cordial confidence
of the public, and especially of the busi
ness interests of the country. He is a gen
tleman of fifty-five or sixty years, in his
full power, and still a fully organized and
developed Republican. It is understood
that he will devote his whole Ume to tbe
work, and will remain at headquarters
here during the campaign.

announced that the cholera committee had
It) first meeUng. in Berlin. Dr. Pettln-
kofer and Dr. Koch were members of tbe
committee. He said the government
was able to avert all dangers of entry of
the disease Into the country, by a system
of InspecUon without closing tbe fronUer.
Professor Verchow doubted whether tbe
disease at Toulon was not Asiatic cholera.
He blamed the detecUve cautions taken
by the French government and drew at
tention to the bad sanitary condition of
tbe Suez canal.
Herr Von Boetticber said in reply to
this that Prince Hohentohe, the German
ambassador at Paris, had reported that
his bill as a mens- France had adopted all necessary meas-
i,, and of justice ores- The German government, he said,
also Intended to propose internal measures
for the protection at the Suez canal.
Gen. Von Moltke thanked Herr Von
Boetticber in the name of the house for
his labors. The session closed with three
cheers for Emperor William.

Washihgton, June 23.—To Ike editor of
Campaign, Richmond, Va.: The Dem
ocraUc party has bad a majority of the
voters of tbe country, beginning with the
year 1874 (when they carried the House of
Representatives by seventy majority)
down to the present time. They have
within that period carried the House of
’’ iresentaUves four times out of fire, snd
-870 they elected a President, but were
cheated out of the office. With all this
majority, the psrty managers have failed
to uHlize this force, and blunders have
been committed which have had the effect
of prolonging Republican ascendency. Tbe
Democratic party has now once more an _
opportunity to gain possession of her of honest and faithful Democrats,

Convention at Chicago are Thomas Ratlin.
William F. Dutch, Jnban S. Carr and
George H. Brown. The entire delegation
will meet in Washington on the 4th of
July. They lean to the opinion that it is
advisable to support Cleveland, while they
are in sympathy with Bayard. The alter
nates are Richmond Pearson, Charles L.
Cook, Rufus J. McAden and Walter
Steele.
Tbe platform challenges comparison be-
twren the prosperity and good government
attending DemocraUc administration in
the State and the crimes, outrages and
scandals of the period of Republican ad
ministration ; affirms adherance to former
platforms, as regards a free and fair ex-
R ression of public will at tbe ballot box as
■e only meaus of preserving free Ameri
can institutions, and denounces the cor
rupt use of Federal patronage to control
elections, as dangerous to tbe
liberties of the people. It favors
the unconditional and immediate repeal
ot the whole of the internal revenue sys
tem, on the ground that it is an intolera
ble burden, a standing menace to the free
dom of elections and a source of great cor
ruption. and calls for a reduction of taxes
to avoid a surplus in tbe treas
ury. With respect to the tariff, is
says: “We reaffirm the prinpiet
of the last national Drmooratlc platform,
leaving the details of the method by which
a constitutional revenne tariff shall be
gradually reached to our Congressional
Representatives, but duties should bs lev

certain, if the papers which dodge In and

and they carefully evaded every attempt
to bring them to a teat vote. Who the ma
jority ol the delegates arc really for has
not been demonstrated. But Cleveland
failed to eecnra a majority, and the at
tempt to make the country be lere that ho
did is a fraud that deserves rebuke. To
try to carry New York by false representa
tions of outside strength, and then to
hoodwink other Statu l>y the false pre
tense that New York demands him, Is a
species of sharp practice that can hardly
succeed.
I shell not discou Governor Cleveland's
trlesrs on the many sets ot the Republican
party which have violated the constitu
tion and oppressed the Sonth; on the sec
tionalism which anlmatu and digraces the
national government; on tho reform of the
Federal judiciary and the Federal election
laws; on the Chinese quutlon; on the re
vocation ot land grants; on the tariff; on
the abolition of the system of Internal rev
enue taxation; on the currency,
and the power to tune le
gal tenders In time of peace; on
negro social equality; on legislation which
perpetuates the present Republican bur
eaucracy and monopoly of offlos; on tha
Improvement of the Mississippi river, and
the improvement of tbe rivers and harbors
of the country, and many other questions
of grave concern, for the simple reason
that I do not know whtt his views are.

take thst we bed chosen a candidate whose

Senator Mcl'hetion, of New Jersey,

for securing party harmony. None of
these gentlemen are for Cleveland,
which adds double significance to tho
conference. Bayard ta tho favorite of
