Recent Observations Have Convinced Pres- ident Harrison of Its Extent. It is stated on good authority that recent observations have convinced Mr. Harrison that the Blaine sentiment is much stronger through- out the country than was at first realized at the White House. The gentleman who made this statement is in a position to know whereof he speaks if any one is. He soys: “Mr. Harrison finds that the Blaine sentiment is so strong that unless Blaine posi- tively declines to permit his name to be men- tioned in the convention the President will withdraw from the contest. Mr. Harrison is convinced that it will be impossible to beat Blaine if his name goes before the convention.” ‘This matter was all talked over in the confer- ences at Sarat \d_it was generally agreed that Mr. Harrivon's future depended upon Mr. Blain Ith. 48 TO PROMOTIONS. They Will be Mande in the Old Way Until New Rules Are Approved. Although the President has directed that pro- motions in the departments be made in accord- ance with examinations under the civil service rules, promotions are still being made in the same old way. It is probable that clerks will continue to be promoted as the head of the department directs for some months yet. The new rule does not go into effect until the rules governing the examina- tion are made by the civil service commission. These rules have been sketched out and in the course of time will be examined by the differ- ent civil service commissioners and then they will go to the President for his approval. After the rules have been adopted then the civil service commission will appoint a in each department to con- examinations. All vacancies filled by — exatination and the gentloman or lady with “a pull” will have to devise some other means of bringing it into play. As the rating of efficiency will be made to count high and as this rating is done yy the chief of the division it may be that under the new system the division chief will be the person to influence. However, it is expected that influence will play a very small part uuder the new system and that merit will be recognized and ‘rewarded. The difficulty that is recognized is the preparation of papers that will be a fair test of the clerks’ efficiency and ability. In order to make the examination produce the best results an effort will be made to have the questions as far as practicable bear some relation to the work requited to be done in the position sought. If this is done it will be neces- wary to have a gteat variety of examination papers, as many at least as there are divisions, when vacancies exist. THE CHILIAN WAR. A Belief That There Has Been Nothing More Than Skirmishing Recently. The Chilian minister is not supplied with Cbilian,news today. He has received nothing further about the war and is engaged today in discrediting the reports spread last night by the agents of the insurgents to the effect that Balmaceda had suffered a defeat. The conflict of the news, the absence of information at the State Department, and the general tone of the dispatches tend to the belief, which is current in official circles today, that the fight- ing, if any as occurred, has not produced any important results, but has been merely an en- agement between small bodies of have no snch effect as ending war. ¢ in'a custom in vogue bere, a part of diplo- matic etiquette, in fact, that when @ minister receives an important dispatch from his home overnment that is given out for publication it is sent st onee to the State Department for the information of this government. ‘This has not been done in the present in- stance, and aya result the department and the mem)ers of the diplomatic corps_now in town discredit the stories and seem to incline to the belief shat there has been nothing more than some skirmishing. ME. DOUGLASS’ SUCCESSOR. He Will Be a Colored Man From New York or Ohio. For diplomatic reasons the President will be in no hurry to appoint a successor to Fred- erick Douglass as minister to Hayti. When the appointment is made, however, a colored man | will be selected. There are now two diplomatic positions vacant which are usually filled by colored men. Some man from the south will probably be sent as minis- ter to Liberia, and the — minister to Hayti will be taken from New York or Ohio. It is understood that T. Thomas Fortune, who was conspicuous as a colored mugwump during the Cleveland-Harrisorf contest and actively opposed Harrison'selection, or a young colored lawyer of Ohio named Maxwell will be ap- pointed to succeed Douglass. Fortune has re- nted of his opposition to Harrison and the ter has forgiven him, but it is probable that Maxwell will get the office. eee Swiss Celebration In New York. ‘The Swiss Publishing Company of New York hasinformed the Treasury Department that there is tobe # celebration of the six hun- dredth anniversary of the Swiss republic in New York on the 5th, 6th and 7th prox., and has requested that all packages arriving by mail up to the 7th prox. addressed to the company may be delivered to it on payment of the proper duty chargeable on the contents. Assistant Secretary Crounse has notified the collector of customs at New York that no ob- jections will be interposed to facilitating the delivery of the packages in question on receipt of payinent in each case of @ fine equal to the duties on the merchandise. * Army Orders. ‘The order of First Lieut.

The Ohio State Campaign and the Struggle for the Senatorship. ‘THE CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE COM- MITTEE AND THE FORAKER MEN—SENATOR BRICK TURNS UP—RECENT ACCESSIONS TO THE POPULATION CLAIMED TO BE DEMOCRATIC—THE PROSPECTS FROM A REPUBLICAN POINT OF VIEW. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Cortmsvs, On1o, August 28.—While ex-Gov. Foraker and Senator Sherman maintain pleas- ant relations, enough crops out constantly as the hot campaign progresses to show that each is straining every nerve to secure the United A particularly vigorous contest was waged in the Ashland-Richland senatorial district to secure the nomination for Senator at the republican convention this week. The Foraker people were fortunate in securing for their candidate ex-State Senator Hilde- brand, a pronounced Foraker man of long standing. He was easily able to secure the nomination. His popularity was so pronounced that the Sherman faction made no objection, and his nomination was made by acclamation. Immediately after that was done, however. Dr. George Mitchell, chairman of the committee on resolutions, and a well-known friend of Senator Sherman, reported the platform, the principal feature of which pledged’ the nominee of the convention to the sup- port of Senator | Sherman for the United tates Senate. This brought W. 8. Capeller of Mansfield, who was state commissioner of rail- roads under Gov. Foraker and the confidential political manager of the ex-governor, to his feet in an impassioned speech. He compli- mented Senator Sherman and conceded that he merited all that was said in the resolution con~ cerning him, bat cited the convention to the fact that he had plainly criticised such actions on the part of state, county or district conven- tions. ‘State Senator Kerr, however, an ardent Sherman man, followed Mr. Capeller in a glow- ing tribute to Senator Sherman and at the close of his efforts moved the previous question, and the platform was adopted by an overwhelming vote. This leaves the nominee, Senator IHide- brand, in» peculiar position. 'He is an out- spoken Foraker man and yet has received the nomination under pledge to vote for Mr. Sherman. CHAIRMAN HAHN AND THE FORARER MEX. ‘Tux Stan correspondent has it on very ex- cellent authority that the republican state executive committee has discovered what was stated in this correspondence some weeks concerning the feeling of Chairman Hahn the senatorial fight and is taking, prompt and Vigorous steps to stop his work in interests oo nealing posed ali entirely of ‘com most entirel ‘who will be to, control the work of the committee. It is be- lieved, however, that neither Gov. Foraker nor his friends had attémpted to in- fluence the executive committee in any way in the senatorial contest, but mow that it has been discovered that it was being used in Senator Sherman's interosts they will probably not hesitate to do a little of that kind of work themselves. Mr. Hh bas been approached by a mumber of | ® Foraker's friends, who have plaiuly told him that he must not engage in the senatorial con- test in any way. There is aleo considerable dissatisfaction with Mr. Hahn's method of con- ducting the campaign. The younger and more sctirefouders in the party complain that, there is not enot vigor put into campaign work, and no one need be surprised i Br. Hahn withdraws from the chairmanship before the campaign progresses much farther. One thing is certain, he is under strict surveillance, and unless he ‘confines his committee work strictly to the gubernatorial contest his resig- nation will be asked for. SENATOR BRICE LOOKING AROUND. Senator Brice, who has been in Ohio for some days looking after the labor troubles on the Lake Erie and Western railroad, dropped into Columbus early in the week and consulted with all the prominent democrats here. Senator Brice never comes to the city without calling upon the “old Homan,” Allen G. Thurman, whom he holds in the highest regard and thinks Mis coudeel most valuable. "Ho stlso held « com. sultation with Executive Chairman Neal, Gov. Campbell and candidates on the state ticket who are in the city. During bis week's stay in Ohio he says he has gathered facts which lead him to believe that the democrats of Ohio were never in any betier shape, ea- pecially in the northwestern part of the state, than they are now, and predicts an increa majority there. His Btatements in this regard are corroborated by census statistics, which show that the nortliwestern part of Ohio. the great gus region, has received an enormous in- flux of the laboring elements in the last three years, much of which, it is claimed, is demo- cratic. Gov. Campbell's health is such that he will probably not take the stump before the middle of September. He seems to be laboring under doubt and uncertainty as to how to spend the time until then. His physician still advises him to take a rest near the seashore, ‘BELIEVES M'KINLEY WILL BE ELECTED. - ‘Thomas Pirt of this city, weil known in labor and political circies over central Ohio, who has just returned from a tour of the northern part of the state, says that his belief that Mr. Mo- Kinley will be elected by a large mujority hes been strongly confirmed by what he heard and saw in mingling with-the people of that section. He reports the republicans full of dire and working in t harmony. mits that there was considerable faction among farmers of this state on account of the workings of the McKin- ley bill, but says that it is fast disappearing as things ‘are turning for the better, aud good prices and the excelient crops have put the farmers in 6 good humor. He says that he does not find that the alliance people are generally suppotting the subtreasury scheme. When HOW THE WORK WILL BE DIVIDED. The fact that Senator Sherman devoted the whole of his opening speech at Paulding on a Thursday to the silver question corroborates of the Plow and Hammer, the neme of his papense the derice and thus obtained a ttle advertising for his newspaper. There is to be a meoting of the executive cummitiee of © people's part, this week, when cl be flied and considered, and it is likely ther gentleman will’ bave charge of the people's party campaign. The friends of ex-Governor Foraker here confidently assert now that he already has within his grasp enough repablican nominees to the general assembly to secure his election to the Senate should that body be republican. They say that in many of those counties which have not yet nominated candidates the ex-gov- ernor's “fences” are in such excellent shape that it would be impossible for any Sherman man to break over them. THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTRE. Hon. John A. Sarber, frequently connected with the state democratic executive committee and an ola colieague of the late Jobn G. Thompson, has been chosen treasurer of the democratic executive committee and will be identified with it in much of ite work. Mr. Sarber is aman of wide experience in Ohio politics and his connection with the committee is regarded axa strong point. The committee Tooms are now open and from now on to elec- tion day Chairman Neal, Secretary Cole, Treas- urer Sarber, Col. Al C. Carlisle of New Salem | and a large force of clerks will be found on | duty. The campaign in Ohio may now be said to be fully opened and the contest will rage hot until November.
