THE ULTRA SILVER MEN have arranged the following as next winter’s programme, to get even with Senator Bayard:—Increase the finance committee by adding to it two mem- bers. This will leave the Senator and those of the committee who believe in hard money and a single standard In the minority. It is thought it the plan is curried out that Mr. Bayard will resign the chairmanship; but this is just what the silverites want. THe Onlo CamMPaiGn. — Ex-Congressman Southard, of Ohio, arrived in the city from Zanesville this morning. He says that both political parties feel hopeful of success in the State next October. He thinks, too, that a full vote will be polled, as the people of the state are thoroughly imbued with the belief that the impending campaign in the fall is a mere over- ture to the higher stake—i. e. the Presidency again for an Ohio man.

YOUNG'S RECENT TRIP TO WASHINGTON AND HIS INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY SHERMAN. A gentleman who says he knows what he ts talking about to-day told a reporter of Tag Sran that Gen, Tom Young's recent visit to this city meant more than a mere trip to Washington and back on private business. The gentleman States that Gen. Young was in close consulta- ton while here with the President and Secre- tary Sherman on the political outlook in Ohio, He said to them that The campaign just opened Would be one of the most closely contested known in the history of politics, He in- sisted that the administration should set aside the “‘sentimentalism of civil service reform and other Enpracticable theories which have dis- hearte! the active men of the republican irty,” and President caps of Ohio and all other states holding elec- tons this fall all the aid in its power. Governor Young is also reported to have pointed out to the President and Secretary Sherman that the first step towards practical aid to the repubil- can party should be the “purifying of the de- partments and the federal service everywhere of the democratic and luke warm mate- nal now srigei office,” and —_agsert- ed_that the policy of the republican party in preferring its enemies to its friends 13 operating throughout the country, that since the democratic party, as illu. ‘ated in the House and Senate, has revived the theory that to the victors belong the Spolis, it should be the ai of the republican party to ported to have suid that therprotad: sige e o out all Semocracs hoiders wil Telegrams to The Star. FOREIGN AFFAIRS, The apace aeeression in Eng- Lonpon, July 5.—In the House of Commons las: n ght the government agreed to the motion of Mr. Henry Chaplin, (conservative), memb Tr for Lincolnshire, for the appointment of a Royal con missioner to inquire into the causes of the asr cultural depression and how far they were created by, or are remidiable by “apie T e matter caused great debate. All sides a reed that a great cause of the depression was American Centar Mr. a ae ope: Ing speech said, he regarded free a eston definitely settled, but be could not t his eyes to the failure of many of the predictions of the advocates of frea tade. He did not prospose a reme- dy now, but only asked for an inquiry. He pointed out that the future fate of British a riculture was dependent upon the cost of pro- d«ction in America. If the cost of importation fe'l below the cost of production at home the Tuin of British agriculture was not far distant. Liberals such as Messrs. Brassey, MacDuff and Duff biamed the British land system and the game laws for the depression. Their arguments were summed = in a speech by Mr. Bright, who warned the land owners that the competition of the United States would go on increasing, and the only way of meeting it was toget rid of the stupid and mischievous legislation regulat- ing the tenure and transfer of land. Messrs. Maclver and Bentinck advocated protective measures, but both the Marquis of Hartington and the government as represented by Viscount Sandon (conservative), member for Liverpool and Sir Stafford Northcote, chancellor of the exchequer, declared that no cause had been shown for such measures, which certainly never would be sanctioned. The Marquis of Hartington attributed the depression primarily to the bad season. Austrian Elections.
