LOYAL MEN IN CHARGE. True Democrats Put at the Head of the Party Organization. Washington, D. C., March 24 — President C F. Black announces the following executive committee of the National association of the Demo- cratic clubs to serve until 1900: Benton McMillin, Tennessee; George H. Lambert, New Jersey; Stephen M. White, California; Edward Mur- phy, Jr., New York, E. C. Smith, New York, Lloyd Jackson, Mary land; C. C. Richards, Utab; J. L. Mitchell, Wisconsin; J. RF. McLean, Ohio; C J. Faulkner, West Virginia: E. B. Howell, Georgia; William J. Stone, Missouri; H. B. Money, Mis-|;,,), sissippi; George Fred Williams. Massachusetts; J.C. Dablman, Ne- braska; J. S. Hogg, Sibley, Pennsylvania. A statement issued with the an- nouncement of the committee says: “Each of the gentlemen named on this committe gave loyal support to the candidates and platform of the the party in the last Presidential campaign, therefore it is to be pre- sumed that they can be depended upon in the future, thereby making this committee in great contrast with its predecescor which had upon it a majority of members who not only contributed money but worked to bring defeat to the party whicti honored them. Among these were Wm. L. Wilson, Henry Watterson, Don M. Dickiason and John C. Black.” The selection of the committee has been very deliberate. Instead of naming the committee in the midst of the campaign of last year, President Black pursued the unusual course of going on with the work of the association without a committee Texas; J. C.|!

So it appears from Mr. Dingley’s own figures that for every dollar of increase on silke, liquors and tobacco combined he bas made $4 of increase on wool and woolen goods alone.

Importers had heard that the new Dingley tariff was to be in effect from April 1, and they wanted to obtain the benefit of the lower duties under the Wilaon law. The total receipts were $1,- 720,453 and of this sum $1,268,232 represented duties on gcoda with- drawn from bond,leaving the amount of duties on direct importations at $458,290. The duties paid were mostly on woolens and tobacco. The receipts at the New York custom house for the month of March were $17,579,633.
