THE ENQUIRER JOHN R. MOLMAN. JULY 9, 1884. Indications, For the Ohio Valley and Tennessee: Local showers and partly cloudy weather, variable winds, shifting to east and south, and slightly warmer. BUSINESS in monetary circles was fair yetterday, with the market leas stringent, but as yet not easy.

Rates of discount in bank were sustained at per cent. The movement of eurrency to the country was not so large, yet was quite important. Biokers did consider. able business in time loans at 608 per cent. and call loons at 7 per cent.

Merenandise markets were not very notive. Pro- vistons were weaker in general and quiet. Cotton inactive and unchanged: middling, Groceries stendy. Flour dulland feeble. Wheat was merely nominal and weak.

The demand for corn was light and the market easy. Rye dull and weak. Oats active and stronger. There were no sales of whisky officially reported, the market ruline previously quoted INDICATIONS: CLEVELAND and MoDONALD. WILL Mr.

TILDEN please say it again, and say it slow? "Is 'M. In Chicago?" "By the grace of God, he is." "Then let the balloting begin." Mr. CLEVELAND is elected JOHN KELLY will have the devil's own time getting a Cabinet position, THE New York World writes of "Mr. BAYARD at Home." And we may supplement the World's remarks with the observation that Mr. BAYARD is likely to remain at home.

BUTLER took his rod and line yesterday, and went down to the pier and cast fly. It was his only chance to catch any thing at Chicago, and that seems to have been a failure. TWO BROOKLYN families have been polsoned by eating ice-cream. There is great deal of arsenic, strychnine and paris green in ice-cream this year, and the young ladies ought to know it. THE: young gentleman who has announced his intention to assassinate General BUTLER has at the same time made an application for admission to a lunatic asylum which should not be ignored.

Ir seems the young woman who ran away from a Kentucky boarding-school and entered a house of ill-fame did so because her parents interfered in a love affair. Her lover is to be congratulated. IF the Republicans should distribute the Cleveland Plain Dealer's portrait of Mrs. LoGAN broadcast, it would terrorize the country into making her husband Vice-President or any thing else the lady might desire. A KENTUCKY editor has leased a section of a Chicago newspaper in which to reprint his editorials.

This is quite expensive, to. be sure; but it was the only scheme by which these powerful articles could be got before the public. Tar search for a President has fairly begun at Chicago. It recalls the Scottish song: "We hunted the 'wran' for Robbin the Bobbin, We bunted the wran for Jack of the Can, We hunted the wran for Robbin the Bobbin, We hunted the wran for every one." REPUBLICAN Editor: "LYCURGUS, prepare an able article on the Democratic blunder." LYCUROUS: "But, my lord, the nominations have not yet been made." R. "No matter: leave blanks tor names and make it a blunder with big TWO YONKERS (N.

girls have read frontier tales until they want to run away and become Indian squaws. By the time they reach the plains where the noble red man roams, and a tender girlish yearning comes over them to know what will be worn next fall, they will be willing to exchange the free-flowing blanket for the restraints of corset and skirts. A DR. O'DONNELL is coming this way from San Francisco with two Chinese lepers, which he proposes to exhibit A8 examples of one of the choice importations from the Flowery Kingdom which unrestricted immigration would make us familiar with. Having no grudge against any dime museum proprietor here, we suggest to the Doctor that Cincinnati is a city of riots, and he might be so unfortunate as to land right in the midst of one if he brings his medical museum here.

BICKEAN's Dayton Journal greets the rising sun in a new dress, and i now it is nip and tuck between the Journal and the sun in the matter of brilliancy. The Journal deserves good clothes. For piquancy of editorial expression, and a direct knowledge of what it is talking about, politically, socially or religiously, the Journal stands at the head of the Republican press of Ohio. BICKHAM himself is an editor without guile, and the gods would be none the worse for reading his paper. Now is the time to subscribe.

JOHN JARRETT, the new Chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was for years the President of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, the most powerful labor organization in the country, and could have been re-elected If he had not positively declined the onerous duties of that office. He is a cool, clear-headed man, who has made labor questions the study of his life, and has no tendency to be led astray by crude notions of political economy. His infoence was as great among iron mana- facturers as with those they employed. Blaine Not the Only American. Par restless feeling that the traditional policy of non-interference is national cowardice, and that the time has come for the United States to take its place in the councils of the great Powers as the moderator of the Western Hemisphere, Ands expression in the sermon delivered last Sunday by the Rev.

JUDSON D. FULrot, of Brooklyn, New York. It would be a fatal political error to ignore this feeling, which is beginning to influence powerfully the minds of thoussads in every section. It is this feeling that gave BLAINE the Republican nomination 1a spite of a vigorous warfare on him within his own party lines, and the BLAiNs hurmeans. nothing else.

GARFIELD'S Administration was a short one, and BLAINE's carreer as Secretary of State was brief, but he was shrewd to perceive the drift of American influence, and in few short months to draw attention to himself as an exponent of that feeling. Mr. Futon "This nation is not to be always stomach. Some time its heart must throb in sympathy with the woos of those nations in the struggle, and Its brain must plan for those peoples who are without leadership." Speaking of the abroad, THE ENQUIRER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9. 1884.

which makes traveling Americans look to British Consuls for protection, be says: "There are Americans who are tired of this; who feel that a more sturdy nationality would befit a nation as strong as tHis. He speaks as one whose sensibillties thrill with the currents of national thought when he says: As never before this nation finds itself propelled by a new force. It is worse than folly to ignore the truth," and he asks: "Is not the 03- tion being made ready for a new policy There is a strong tinge of transcendental Jingoism In the following sentiment, which shows how easily such feelings may run to excess: can believe that the time is coming when the power grown here shall lead in a world conflict, and shall crash through all opposing forces to aid 1n the emancipation of all who groan beneath the heel of oppression, and who are striving to come out of the night of bondage into the fall-orbed radiance of the sun of liberty!" BLAINE is not the only American in America. Among the statesmen of the Democratic party are men as vigorous and as alive to the tendencies of National life as he. The record of the Democratic party is not one of "a timid conservatism that threatened to make cowards of us all." It is not under Democratic rule that we are presented with the spectacle of an inconvenient surplus in the Treasury and a navy which is the laughingstock of the world; an army of revenue collectors and few thousand soldiers doing police duty on the plains, while Americans are subject to espionage, ar rest and detention in foreign countries and American vessels serve as targets for foreign gunners.

The insolence of victorious Chili is not forgotten by Americans. While the nation has become richer and more powerful by natural increase in the past twenty years her influence abroad has not grown. Under vigorous Democratic Administrations of the past American Consuls and American citizens were treated with more consideration abroad than they are to-day, and the American nation was not slow in showing its teeth when occasion required. The Rev. Mr.

FULTON makos a mistake when he regards BLAINE as the only man who can carry out an American policy. The Democratic party is composed of Americans, and the sentiments he utters have not the patent-right brand of any party upon them. In fact, the Democratic party by its present position and its traditions is eminently fitted for enforcing a bold and manly foreign policy. It gave us Louisiana, California, Texas. The prospect of war flutters Wall street, and makes politicians of the CURTIS school wince, but nothing renders war unnecessary Mite keeping the shoulders square and stiffening the upper lip.

We do not need BLAINE to do that for us. MUSICAL. The Summer Night Orchestra Concert. It is rather curious at times to note the contrast between the expressed desires of the people and their actual conduct when the opportunity offers for the fulfillment of those desires. The force of this WAS felt last evening at the concert by the Cincinnati Orchestra, in Elmont Terrace.

It may as well be stated, however, that the public can not be made entirely responsible for remissness in the matter of attendance. Postponements have been SO numerous that those who might otherwise be secured are constantly in a state of uncertainty as to This is the fault of the management. It is not the bustness of the ENQUIRER to say whether or not these postponements could have been avoided. They were not avoided, and the increase in the number of listeners that would have followed upon the punctual redemption of promises made has not been noticed. Let the see to it that no more delays occur: let the members of the orchestra attend conscientiously to the business in band, instead, as some of them do, of showing a beggarly Indifference when rehearsals are announced, and.

never fear, the public will do Its duty. In many respects the programme last evening was the best yet offered, and all present will recall with pleasure the "Robes. pierre" overture, larghetto from string quartet, Op. 45, Spohr, and the two movements from the Raff Symphony "In especially the scherzo, which was deliciously played. There will be another concert next Friday evening.

BLAINE AND HIS BOOK, Twenty Years in Congress Figuring in the United States Courts. Mr. Blaine's book received an advertisement in a petition fled in the United States Court yesterday. The Henry Bell Publishing Company, of Norwich, through their 'attorneys, Pugh, Pugh Pugh, of Columbus, brought suit against Robert Clarke of this city, to restrain them from selling the book or In any way being engaged with other parties in the sale of the same. The plaintiffs say that within the last five years James G.

Blaine published the first volume of a book entitled "Twenty Years in Congress." That February 22, 1883, he sold the copyright to them, and that the book can only be sold by their permission. They disposed of the right for the Southern District of Ohio to Oldham, Keller who are their only duly authorized agents. Notwithstanding their rights in the premises, the defendants, they say, are wrongfully selling large quantities of the book referred to. They ask that a restraining other order be legal issued and against proper the relief. tirm, Thus and "Twenty Years in Congress" gets a boost.

THE suit of W. H. Odell, of Dayton, against the Stilwell Bierce Manufacturing Company for Infringing on a patent, is proceeding in the United States Court before Justices Matthews and Sage. SOME DIFFERENCE Between the Taxable Value and Selling Price of Certain City Property, That sore-eye to, the city, the property on. the corner of Fifth and Vine, is owned by the Este heirs.

It is occupied by several groggeries and frequented by toughs, who swarm on the sidewalk and make it a hardship to pedestrians, who never breathe as they pass by. The property is valued on the tax duplicate at $108,000. yet $300.000 could not buy it. Here is work for the Board of Equalization. W.

P. HULBERT OwnS acres of land out on Freeman and Western avenues, a veritabie farm in the heart of the city. A half million of dollars could not purchase it, yet the tax duplicate reveals the strange fancy that Ferd only values his vast estate at $286,780. Here is more work for the Board of Equalization. By the way, Mr.

Halbert spent the afternoon yesterday with the Board of Equalization. The body held a session and Ferd sat at the same table, arguing with the members, in ble endeavors to depreciate the. value of his West End farm.

They arrived at Cincinnati together. and put up at George Schneider' Hotel on Broadway.

The latest confidence game that is being played, and which, by the way, has panned out pretty well, is called the express package dodge.

IRON HIGHWAYS. TRIALS OF TICKET AGENT. More ticket agents would be found in heaven but for a certain class of visitors who come In and lead them into ways of profanity by their senseless and questions.

Where's the opposition ticket-office?" The agent removes a revolver from his bip-pocket to a shelf under the counter. The weapon is a self cocker, with stop and fly-buck trigger, timed to sixteenth of a second.

Were you going, to start night?" says the agent. Well, no. I was thinking that if business keeps up through the summer I might go in the fall to see some of me wife's kin." The man leaves, and the agent, locking up the door, goes out the back way to a dispenser of liquids, where he takes tour fingers and a thumb of Dourbon, with a dash of benedictine. as a nerve-restorer. Agents get bald soon and die early.

SOUTHERN GAUGES. We are glad to see that some of the more enterprisIng journals of the South are agitating the importance of uniformity in the gauge of railroads throughout the country. It may well be believed, as remarked by New orleans tallroad man of prominence, that one of the greatest obstructions to travel and traffic between the Nofsn and the South is the difference of the gauge of the railroads. The standard gauge is Your feet eight and one-halt inches, and an overwhelming majority of the tall roads of the United States and Canada are of this width, including the great trunk lines running hetween New York. Chicago, St.

Lonis and the Paci tic slope. There are narrow OF three-foot gauges In the rural regions of almost every State that has much of a rallroad system, and they are as a rule only, constructed with view tO economy of operation -a purpose that has not always been realized. The broad or five-foot gauge, however, in Southern titusion. There are twelve thousand miles of Are foot railroad track in the States of Virginia, North Caroline. South Carolina.

Georgia. Florida. Alabama, Louisiana. Tennessee. Kentucky and in thirty-three distinct railroad systems, Including such great corportions as the Louisville and Nashville and Richmond and Danville Railroad Companies.

Many of these roads were projected when the Southern people wished to become politically and commercially independent of the United States. Its commercial independence; however, In the sense originally contemplated, is rapidly becoming as impossible as its political separation. The alteration of these twelve thousand miles of railroad from broad to standard gauge would greatly promote of traffic between the South and the rest of the country. Many kinds of freight are Ilable to injury in being transferred from one track another by means of cumbrous machinery for the hoisting of trucks, and shippers are influenced to considerable extent by the additional expense attendant on changes at such junctions. The maintenance of a peculiar gauge by a majority of the rafiroads in the Souta Atlantic States is undountediy an impediment to the development of that region.

The expense of niteration is not so great. no 1t would be if the chance were from a narrow range to wider, and it may be fairly classed as the kind of expenditure which Is true economy in the long run. Apart from the tact that a raving will be effected in the lumber required for future re newals for ties, the increased traffic ensuing will indirectly compensate the railroad compaules for the outlay. Railroad traffic is dull at present, and the transit attendant on such repairs would be at a minimum. Philadelphia North American.

BOOMING THURMAN. Reported Interview Between Butler and McLean--An Exciting Time at the Ohio Chances Apparently Improving- -The Buckeye Delegates Diand Caucusing Will Begin This Morning. CHICAGO, July 8-The night passed very quietly at the hotels in comparison to the rush and confusion of the one preceding. The muititude in and about the various headquarters was large; still ingress and egress was possible, which was hardly true of the night preceding. The caucusing, however, went on as usual, and there was what appeared to be a final rally aguinst the Clevelaud hosts, which claimed to-night that vietory was clearly in Numerous and conficting rumors were floating about, but they all resolved themselves into the fact that it was only the field against Cleveland, with the opposition leaders devising plans to consolidate the scattering votes for some one as against the Governor of New York.

Last night the Bayard boom took on anmistakable proportions, but considerable of his strength deserted him to-day, and then a move was made in the direction of Thurman. It is well known that the Ohio delegation has been divided, and a strong enort was made tonight to consolidate its vote for Thurman, on the promise that Maasachusetts and a consideruble portion of the South and West would rally to His support. It is claimed that a gram was sent to Governor Hoadly, asking him not to stand in the way of Thurman, who now had an opportunity for a fair race, and that Mr. MeLean was being urged to the same end. Governor Butler sought out Mr.

McLean to-night and had a long consultation with him, it is supposed, to this end. With the exception of Maryland it could not be ascertained that any serious defection had occurred in the columns of the Southern States, which had hitherto declared an adherence to the Bayard movement. Maryland decided by a majority of five to vote as a unit on the second ballot for Cleveland. It was stated in a very positive way, however, that the encouragement which the Thurman movement bad received would Impel his formal nomination, and that the speech would be made by General Breckenridge, of tucky. The Ohio head-quarters at the Palmer House to-night presented a scene of furor and excitement growing out of this fact.

The spacious rooms were crowded to suffocation, speakers rapidly following one another, addressing the ever-moving crowds from table placed in the center of the room. The faction quarrel between Thurman and antiThurman parties, to all outward appearances, is becoming more intense and bitter than when the delegates first arrived. At least a dozen Ohio delegates declare openly they will not vote for Thurman. No caucus vote of the delegation or Presidential preferences has yet been held, but from various delegates it 1s learned that Ohio stands twenty-five anti-Thurman and twenty-one Thurman. This estimate is strenuously denied by Thurman's supporters.

who claim twenty-eight votes. The anti-Thurman element In Ubio are uncertain whom they shall support. Indications to-night point to their casting at least portion of their votes for Hoadly, whose name will be put 1n nomination if Thurman's friends insist on presenting the latter's name. After Hoadly, the unti-Thurman votes in Ohio will probably go to Cleveland. Ohio bolds a caucus in the morning before entering the convention.

Thurman's friends to-night state that many Southern delegates have declared their intentiou of supporting him. It is therefore probable Thurman's name will be presented, no matter what the outcome of the caucus. Thefentire California delegation visited the Ohio head-quarters, and Mr. Turpey, of California, speaking for his State, said that if the Ohio people would abandon Mr. Hoadly and would accept in his place Mr.

Thurman, the Pacifro Coast would guarantee to him the solid Democratie vote and a victors which he belleved would not only Include, California, but the entire Union. He said, in conclusion, with Thurman's candidacy the Democratio party can not be beaten." Mr. Cheney, his fellow-delegate, spoke briefly, in the course of which be supported the statements made by his colleague, closing by saying that there was no one in his hearing who did not feel an instinctive desire to shout "Thurman" at all hazards and risk the cost. John R. McLean, editor of the Cincinnati ENQUIRER, in an luterview to-night, denied the truth of the story in circulation that telegram bad been sent by Ohio men to Governor Hoadly saying his candidacy stood in the way of a very favorable opportunity for Thurman, and asserted if any such telegram was sent it was fraudulent and entirely without authority.

Rumors Calculated to Give Strength to That Element. The Market Enlivened by a Few Attempts at Higher Prices Toward the Close. SPECIAL DISPATIN TO NEW YORK, July The stock market again at the hands of the bears, and consequently the bear party is tast growing in size. People who last week were bullish talked today as if the advance was probably over for the time. There is very littie doubt that Mr.

has been seller: that Mr. Whiteles is working in favor of lower prices; that Mr. Soutter has begun selling anew, and that the Saratoga, bears are countenancing another bear campaign. Vanderblit brokers state that they have sold gond many stocks, and are looking for somewhat lower prices. Gould brokers speak well of Western Union and Missouri Pacific, but intimate that some decline in other stocks would not be surprising.

The D. P. Morgah party is reported pretty well out, and working to-day to close up its turn. Lackawanna nets as if the pool bad realized, although members of the Lackawanna party assert that the selling has been insignificant, partly due to the continued depression of general trade and industry, which is again beginning to attract attention, the most pointed lustances of which are the understanding that the coal companies are again considering a further restriction of production to the extent of a week's suspension in August; also, the decrease in earnings of the railroads in almost all parts sot the conntry, notably the Rock Island, the Burlington, the Atchison. Besides these general features, the special news and rumors in connection with particular stocks were all unfavorable.

Rumors come from Philadelphia that the forthcoming report of the receivers of the Reading would show fonting debt to the enormous amoant of $22,000,000, which proportions have been reached by large losses in operations in Jersey Central stock, by the borrowing to pay Interest on the Reading general mortgage, and in attempts to sustain the junior securities. Another rumor is that the Grand Trunk threatens to leave the Trunk Line Pool if any change is made in the relative percentages of that road and the Michigan Central in the pool. Under these accumulated depressing influences there was general decline of from to per cent. in the Arst hour of business. At noon there came a favorable turn in the market, which carried all stocks up one or two points.

Lackawanna, which had been slipping down, went a point above its opening figures. Even Reading rallied, and New Jersey Central, with one of its. spasmodic leaps, went in one sale from to 67, but the decline continued, with occasional rallies through the day. The bulls interposed few obstacles to the pressure of the bears to sell, and the general market was devoid of any new or noteworthy features. Just before the close, without any Increase of activity, quite a sharp buying movement was developed, which carried prices of many stocks to the highest of the day.

THE CHICAGO BOARD. Weakness and Lower Prices Rule in Wheat and Corn Dullness in the Provision Trade. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. CHICAGO, July The markets opened weak, and declined with rather free selling of wheat and corn. The weather in England was reported to be fine, and the British markets were lower.

The crop reports from the Northwest were also favorable and helped to cause weakness. The trading was chiefly between local operators. The Joues crowd were supposed to be selling out their wheat and corn. Grain railiied from the lowest figures on the posting of the statement showing a decrease in the visible supply, the boys generally having expected an increase. Nobody knows where the markets would have gone to but for the effect of the decrease.

As posted today the present visible supply of wheat 1s 14,418,922 bushels, showing a decrease for the week of 1,018,908 bushels. The decrease in the visible supply for the week is placed at 307.607 bushels, leaving the present supply 6,197,728 bushels. Notwithstanding this low ebb of the wheat supply the bulls seem to have little to encourage them. "It is a soft market," remarked a scalper, who claimed to have lost more money than be bad made for a week. can make more money to keep out of it, even if you do nothing, than to stay in at such a time." The opening for wheat, as well as for every thing else, was weak and a decline at once commenced.

This decline in the opinion of many would have amounted to a break bat for the decrease as above mentioned. The August option opened at dropped quickly to and at the close of the morning stood weak and wavering at There were no deals worthy of mention and the day was characterized by an almost total absence of orders. "Nobody wants the stud," say the bears, and the balls are at an utter loss how to make them want it. The action of corn followed that of the wheat market very closely. At the close of the morning session the price of August wheat was very weak and in active.

The opening was 52c. Provisions had nothing to redeem them from the general weakness and apathy. Short rive were most dealt in. From $805 at the opening, they sold down to $785 before one o'clock. Pork declined 250.

Lard dropped about 80c. The afternoon markets were lower. Wheat sold from for August, off to. to and for September at off to both closing at the lowest prices. Corn declined to for August, and for September.

Oats. sold off to 25c. for September, and for August. Lard was $7 for. October and $7 30 for September, and short ribs for September.

It is anticipated that there will be 110 further decrease in the visible supply of wheat, as the winter crop is already coming into the market, SLUCCED For Being Too Intimate With Another Man's Wife.
