The delegates to the Contrresbional
convention at Durham returned to the
city last nijrht in a perfect torrent of.
rain and a wetter but haopier crowd I
have not seen lately. Italeigh has been
strong for Bunn from the first, and the
proceedings . of the convention were
watched with great interest by the
people here. An uneasy feeling seem
ed to pervade Mr. Bunn's friends yes
terday morning, but from telegrams
received from the convention these
feiirs were dissipated in the afternoon,
and there was much rejoicings when
word was sent of his nomination on the
first ballot. Much was said bythe del
egation of the hospitable reception
they received at the hands of the Dur
ham people and of the happy manner
in which the convention went5 off, the

Washington Pott although a Republi
can paper, has done muco, towards de
feating the infamous Election Fore?
Bill. In its issue of yesterday, under
the above caption it says:
"The outlood for the Federal elec
tions bill is not as hopeful as it appear
ed t.wo weeks since, and it has; censed
to be the uugbear or legislation. But
little has beeadone with the bill since
the last caucus of Republioan Senators.
It 13 being dallied with, but the impe
tus that was given it by the hand of
Speaker Reed and his Republican as
sociates has been lost, and there is not
propelling power enough in the Senate
to get it into motion again.
There are some half frozen reasons
why the bill has thus been allowed to
lapse just at the time when the prom
ise was the greatest that it would be
pushed to a finish. Gov. Gordon, or
Georgia, has rather indirectly an
nounced that the South could boycott
X ll ! 1 a
uruiern eapiiai in retaliation, dui in
his indiscretion he has only made the
sarav3 argument that was made by two
Senators in the caucus, nameli'. that
they had investments in the South, and
to support the bill they placed, their
business interests in jeopardy. Both
of these Senators have announced that
they would vote for the bill rather
than desert their party, but they
have industriously been at work ever
since the caucus in throwing cold water
on the enterprise.
wThe estimate most favorable to the
passage of the bill is that thirty-five
Republican Senators prefer to have it
passed, leaving twelve who are either
absolutely opposed to it or indifferent
to its late. One-half of this number
represents those who would vote
against the proposition to change the
rules, and as the change must be made
if the bill is to be passed in time to be
effective at the coeiing election an al
most unsurmountable stumbling block
is presented.
While all these reasons have oper
ated to prevent the pushing of the bill
to a position where it could be taken

conclusion that the bill is practically
abandoned is that there is a wide diff
erence oi opinion as to whether it is
cetter to pass the elections bill or a
reapportionment bill. Both cannot be
passed, and perhaps neither, but there
are "plenty of Republicans who prefer
an apportionment bill which would
make the next five Congresses certain
ly Republican, to a bill the effects of
which can only be coniectured, with
the probability that there would be the
wide reopening o: the chasm.
The next cauous of Republican Sen
ators will be to determine between the
two propositions rather than the sim
ple question whether the elections bill
shall be pushed any farther.
The Democratic Senators are not
caucusing any, but they have a policy
wnich so far has proved better than
any other idea that could have teen
adopted, namely, to proceed just as if
no bill had been thought of in connec
tion with Federal elections. This plan
was suggested by benator Gorman, on
the principle that so long asthe-Re-publican
Senator did not know what
the Democrats were going to do they
would not know what to do them
selves."

The new plan o. weeretary indom
called out fewer lnds than was ex
pected, but the :l position has been
clearly shown to; to wait for strin
gency, but to prevent it by free (dis

three and one-f,7.nth of a cent, and
shipments hither jfrom Russia have
become known. Because of the specu
lation in grain an'); cotton and higher
prices for some irtanufactured goods,
the general average has risen during
the week one-nan 0! one per cent., jand
there are indications of a renewal of
the speculative feyer which tho pros
pect of monetary expansion produced
sometime ago. Biiit in other respects
the outlook is good. Business is hkrge
ior the season and the great industries
are, on the "whole jimproving in condi
tion. ' .. i
The latest reports of exchapges
throughout the clearing houses, lout-
side of New lorkj show a gain of 15
per cent, over last year. The most
cheering statement is made by thejiron
and steel associations, showiner that
stocks of pig iron unsold have increiased
onlv 134,000 tons since July 1st, though
the production in six months 13 4,blu,-
000 tons, which would indicate ari in
crease of nearly :500,000 in consump
tion.
In general, the ! speculative markets
for products show a tendency to; ad
vance, mainly because of more money
for speculation. - j
The dry goods trade Is moderate, and
irregular as to cotton and unsatisfactory
as to woolens. The state of businejss at
other cities is everywhere as favorable.
There is a remarkable absence of com;
plaints regarding collections, andj the
money markets are nowhere stringent,
but with nearly all conditions thus fa
voring business activity, there is alcon
stantly growing embarrassment ii de

there-is an increase or no less than 66

The stock market has also been

The S-ftitt I'orre 1(1 tl Not llea.l Wloa
of tl Attorney eoerl -Tlf Clayton
i:rektnridge Cae.
Washington, Julv The state
ments printed in several Republican
newspapers this morning to the t fleet
that the Senate sub-committee on priv
ileges and election has com pleUl
their work of revising the IoxJge elec
tion bill, and that it will ioon be ready
to be called up in the ienate, are ab
surd. It is true that the ub commit
tee has gone over tho bill and U ready
to consult with the full -committee, but
the bill is no nearer Wing reported to
the Senate than it was 4 m;nih izo for
the' hlmple . reason that -it S cot and
never has been in the ross -n of tho
committee on privilege and elections.
The bill that came over from the Hour
was laid upon the table in the Senate,
and it is there now. The committee
have been considering the subject
solely upon their own responsibility
and without an instruction whatever
Irom the Senate. The bill was with
held from the committee for the ox-
press purpose of preventing it from be
ing killed by Republican Senator,
who might manage to keep it in com
mittee indefinitely if an opportunity
offered. The statement that tho tub-
committee had eliminated the
more objectionable features of
the bill, particularly the proviso
as to jury commissioners, is equally
untrue. The jury commission feature
was stricken from the bill in tho House.
Senator Spooner said to-day that in
the lniormai consideration oi an elec
tion bill they had condensed the House
measure somewhat, but had not de
cided to recommend the elimination of
anv of the important provisions of the
Lodge bill. Although the committee
on privileges and elections is proceed
ing with the unauthorized ebnsidera
tion or a force measvure, there are no
indications that it will have an early
opportunity to iret the bill before the
Senate.
. Washington. July 2-5. Secretary
.Windom made the following aunouncc
ment this afternoon in regard to tho
further purchase of bonds: From let
ters received at the department to-day
it is thought that thot terms of the cir
cular of July 19th are not fully under
stood, probably, owincr to the short
time between the date of its public
tion and the date oi receiving propo
sals for sale of bonds. As it is desired
to extend, as far as possible, an equal
opportunity to all who desire to sell,
the Secretary of tho Treasury has de
cided to receive proposals for a few
days and has accepted offers received
during the day of four at 1.24, and
four and a half s at 1.032, aggregating
350,000.
Washington, July 2-5. The Clayton
vs. urecKinriago election case irom
Arkansas, under discussion, was re
sumed to-day by the House committee
on elections. Mr. Lacey, chairman of
the sub-committee which examined the
matter, made a statement of the results
of the election in the different counties
as shown by the testimony taken,
which was ordered to be printed for
the use of the committee. Probably
the case will be disposed of at the next
meeting.
The House committee on invalid pen
sions to-day ordered a favorable report
upon tho bill granting a pension of
$2,000 per annum to the widow cl the
late Geo. B. McClellan.
Washington, July 2-5. Attorney
General Miller has decided that a
journal published in New York city
was not unmailable as a second class
publication because it printed upon the
wrappers of its sample copies an in
struction to postmasters-that 'If not
called for by the party to whom ad
dressed, postmaster please deliver to
some local teacher." Tho Attorney
General holds that this superscription
is ully warranted by the law, which
provides that "in all cases directions
for transmitting, delivery, .and for
warding or return, shall be deemed
part of tho address."
