President Quiff? of the Republican Conntr
Committee wss limping about Manhattan
neach yesterday with a twinge of theumatlo
gout. Mr. Qulgg's gout is a recent affliction.
Ha had a talk with Major Btrong about tt on
Friday and they swapped remedies. The Major
told Mr. Qulgg that Richfield Spring Is n good
' place for gouty persons. The Major uied a
theological adverb with his adjectlre.
Mr. Qutgg's affliction Is not so severe that It
Incapacitates him from attending to the game of
politics, and be had some things to saj about
the approaching municipal campaign.
" Kver j daj," said he, " makes the fact clearer
that the issue on which the voters of the elector
ate of the Greater New York will cast their vote
next November will be the samo Issue ou
which tbej east their votes last Koveni-
Iber. The very effort of Tammany Hall
to avoid that situation renders It tbo
more Inevitable. The suggestion has been
mado In certain quarters that tho presentleader
or leaders of Tammany are not satisfactory to
the rank and UIo of the organization, and that
It has been decided to procure the services of a
former leader In tho coming campaign. That
former leader Is recognised as a cold standard
mau and a friend of tho so-called 'conservative
forces ' of tho Democratic party. The truth Is,
as we all know, that ho and all tho
rest of tho Toinmnny leaders have for
their cardnial creed the belief that Tam
es, inuny Hall ought to remain, under all
circumstances, the regular Democratic organl
ratlou, shitting its position from time to lime
regarding publlo Issues as may become neces
sary to preserve Its regularity. It is well known
that, despite his belief in the gold standard, Mr.
Croker advised that Tammany should stand for
the Chicago platform."
" What have you to say regarding tbo appoint
ment of Col. Ucoree Moore Smith as Police
Commissioner!" Mr. tjulgg was asked. Ho re
plied: "Tho statute under which the Board of Police
Commissioners exists describes that body as bi
partisan. The ofllce of 1'olico Commissioner is
the only one in tho city which is rendered parti
san by law. What tho statute means when the
word partisan Is used Is shown by the fact that
the Police Commissioners tan perlorm no act
with regard to elections cxeopt on the recom
mendation of the recognized heads of the two
principal political organizations. Of coursj
It is my duty to be Jculous of the
rights and carotul of tho Interests of the
Republic n organization. Whatever muy bo
said of Major strong's obligations not to con
sider partisanship with regard to other appoint
ments he is by law commanded to consider It
here, and 1 think it would hare t een in the publio
Interest bad tho Mayor, before making tho ap
pointment, invited some suggestion from our
organization. Col. Smith uia uo Just the man
we should havo recommended tor appointment,
but tho prescribed statutory relations of the
ottlce to the political organizations uie such as
to render a nomination by our organization
suitable. Nevertheless 1 should think CoL.
Smith would make an excellent Police Com
missioner. " I may make my reference to the relationship
of a Police Commissioner to the political organ
ization he is suppose i represent clearer by
stating that around clcvaon ttmes a great many
things go ou w Inch tt.o in. forbids, and which
become known to the head of the County Cora
mittco through the election district organiza
tions. Tnere ought to be somebody in the 1'olico
Hoard who can be made the repository of confi
dential communications regarding such mat
ters." " What Is there in the talk about the possible
nomination of Col. Strong for Mayor on I lie Re
publican ticket I" was the uoxt questiou, and
Mr. Uulgg answered as follows:
"Mayor Strong says there's nothing In it. Ho
iou(,h', to know."
Senator William B. Allison of Iowa Is at tho
Oriental Hold, where Senator Piatt and Mr.
Oulgg are staying. So are Congressman R. II.
Illtt of Illinois. Chairman of the House Foreign
Altalr Committee, and Congressman Cousins
of Iowa, ulio is the guest of Mr. Quigg. All

of the Blessed Sacrament on Centre avenue
vraa dedicated to-day with elaborate cere
monies, In which about thirty clorgymen as
sisted. More than 1,000 persons attended the
services.
The eorvlce began at 10:30 A. M. with solemn
high mass. The Right Rev. John M. Farloy,
Auxiliary Bishop of New York, formally dedi

and the Interior decorations re In solid oak. It
seats 1,200 persons. Tho church and Its ven
erable pastor hove an Interesting history.
After the burning of tho old edlflco in 1H00. a
small structure was erected besldo tho ruins.
An offer was made by tho Iselln furally to con
struct a now edifice, but It woa not accepted
br the rector. A new church known as St.
Gabriel's was then erected by tho Iselin family
on the west sldo of the town and presented to

from a 1'rotestant church at Twentv-seeond

Widening Italian Mission Moves.
The congregation of the Italian Episcopal
Mission of Ssn Salratore, for more than ten
years tho occupants of tho old Mulberry street
church, on Mulberry street, near Bleeckcr, wor
shipped yesterday for the first time in its new
temporary homo at 40 Bleecker street. Last w eek
the old building was dismantled, and Its fur
nishings. Including altar, organ, and pews, were
removed to tho new structure. The abandon
ment of the old church was mado necessary by
tho condemnation of the property. The land
upon which tho building stands Is needed to
make room for tho widening and extension of
Elm street.
Ample funds will bo In the hands of the society
for the construction of a new edifice for tho
mission and for the prosecution of the work
among the Italian-speaking people in the lower
portion of the city. In return for a large section
of tho land tho municipality has paid to tho
society 67,000. A considerable portion of the
land will remain to the society, and when this
has been sold a sufficient amount will be in the
treasury for the erection of a new church. The
location of the new building has not yet been
decided upon, but it is probable that it will be
somewhere in tho neighborhood of the present
one.
The Mulberry street church was built In 1833,
and was for many years the home of the fash-fon-tble
congregation of the Mulberry Street
Methodist Episcopal Church. It was sold to the
congregation of bt. Philip's Protestant Episco
pal Church, the first Episcopal church for col
ored people in tho diocese. In 1685 the late
Miss Catherine Wolfe bought the property and
presented it to the Italian-speaking Episco
pal I ins. In 181)1 the church ended its career res
un independent body and became a mission of
the Episcopal City Mission Society.

The County Nominations Involve In
Worth's Controversies) A Rumored (late.
Now that County Clerk Jacob Worth has re
turned to his quiet Ssratoga cottage and ex
Register Hugh McLaughlin Is resting at James
port, L. 1., on the shores of Peconlo Bay, there
Is likely to bo a lull In midsummer political dis
cussion tn Brooklyn. Each has long been a pic
turesque political figure In that city, and In
splto of their partisan differences their personal
relations have continued most friendly ever
since tbey worked side by side In tha navy yard,
over forty years ago.
There havo beon rumors from time to time
during the long years of their political activity
that mutual favors, official and otherwise, have
been exchanged by Mr. McLaughlin and Mr.
Worth, and more than once it has been reported
that they had entered Into combinations to for
ward their political plans. It was openly asserted
that Mr. Worth owed his four years' appoint
ment as Fire Commissioner under tho Howell
administration to his close personal friendship
with Mr. McLaughlin, and that it was through
tbo same potent Influence that be served as
Election Commissioner under a later Demo
cratic administration. It Is a fact, at all events,
that during the many years of continued Demo
cratic supremacr In Brookljn Mr. Worth man
aged to secure official recognition, not only for
himself hut many of his friends, and that he
made occasional visits, like an ordinary Demo
cratic pilgrim, to tho headquarters ot Mr. Mc
Laughlin in the old Wllloughby street auction
room.
So far as known these visits have been discon
tinued since tho simultaneous suppression of
John Y. McKane'a rebellion and the downfall of
Democratic rule In Kings county in 1603. Per
sons who ought to know aver that tho political
revolution has not in any way interrupted the
old friendship between thu votcron leaders, nnd
they also point to tho dispensation of somo mu
nicipal as w ell as Federal patronage during the
past four vears sa substantial proof of this fact.
While Mr. cLaughlln has taken a keen in
terest In Mr. Worth's recent attitude In regard
to Greutor New York politics, be has so far
refused to make any statement for publication
on tho merits of the controversy. Some of bis
close llouiuiiants, however, make no conceal
ment of their delight over the rumpus and at
tho prospect of tho Piatt-Worth hostilities
being carried Into the City Convention.
"A hot Republican faction fight like this."
one of them said, "coming at a time when tho
Democracy in Brooklyn is practical!) united
and harmonious, will help us along wonderfully
In our efforts to regain supremacy this full. We
cannot understand from our point of view why
Mr. Worth should risk his grip on the machine
by becoming tho earnest advocato of Beth
Low's nomination, unless it be for the purpose
of spiking tbo gunsof the Willis faction and thus
retaining his control until tho county officers
are nominated. From past emphntlo declara
tions made by Mr. Worth, we know that he
does not rare a straw for Mr. Low, and that he
would she 1 no toars over his defeat In case of his
nomination; on the other hand. Mr. Worth is
ambitious to round off bis political career by
naming tha four candidates for the big county
offices and electing them if possible. He ln.s
already selected the men be wants toiu. ke Re
gister, Sheriff, County Clerk, and County Treas
urer, and his recent antl-1'latt demonstration is
a part of his tactics with this end in view.
"I am afraid bo uncovored his batteries too
early, and thut ho will oven find It difficult to
control tho County Convention. Some of his
lieutenants have nlrcadyb'gun to weaken, and
when ho gets buck to Brooklyn ho will And that
Theodore B. Willis has tn.i'io some dan.erous
Inroads in his lines. Ou the Democratic side we
all hope, ot course, thut tho Platt-Worlh war
fare will continue, as it will materially help to
swell our majorities on election ilny."
Persons in the confidence ot Mr. Worth say
that hissltito for the county offices, which may,
however, be somewhat remodelled, is as follows:
For Sheriff. Comptroller George W. Palmer; for
ItegiMer. Henry A. Hanberry; for County Clerk.
City Auditor John it. Sutton; for County Treas
urer, Hubert G. Taylor, tho present occupant.
There la a strong tc-eliug against the proposed
promotion of Mr. Sutton and it is said he will
nave a hard Job oven to secure the delegation
from the Ninth wurd. his own bailiwick.
"We havu hired two stores on Flnthuh
avenue." ono ot his Ninth wnrd constituents
said yesterday, "for uso as anti-Sullou head
quartcrsdurlng the campaign. We will extend
the right to other wards, anil tf Worth is ublo to
Eull Sutton through, bo wll! prove himself a
Igger politic ian than we give him credit for.
Our opposition to Mr. Sutton is purely personal,
nnd we will carry it to the polls, In case be is
nominated."
On tho Democratic side nothing has been set
tled with regard to tbo county nominations.
Mr. McLaughlin, it is understood, has declared
that tho raco is tone an open one. and most of
tbeaspiranls are going to remain in town dur
ing tho summer and hustle for delegates.

Atijinta, Ga Aug. 1. Fleming G. Dubignon,
who has had tbe leadership of tbo gold faction
of tho Democratic party In this State for Hi e
years and who mado tbe race against the late
Charles P. Crisp for the United States Senate,
will no longer oppose tho majority sentiment of
his party. Ho Isntpresent being urged for tho
Governorship, and last nibt made a statement
that has caused a stir among the politicians. He
says in part:
"The bolting Democrats who are now making
tbo most noiso about tho Chicago platform
were the loudest In their commendation of tbe
action or tbo minority when, lnlt(P2, It yielded
its intense opposition to Mr. Cleveland and
gave h.m tho votes w hlch elected him President.
Thn minority did Its duty as Democrats then;
nnd for them to haveadnpud any other course
after the action of the Convention would havo
been to put themselves In tbe altitude of party
vvrci-Kors. In accepting tho action of the Con
vention In 18IHJ Democrats who disagreed with
tho action then taken on tho financial question
are doing Just what Democratic leaders who
oppo--pd tho nomination of Mr. Cleveland In
lh!J did when, after bis nomination, tbey ral
lied to bis support.
"Since tho establishment of tho republic there
has been mom In this country for but two great
parties. There have been sldo Issues and ephem
eral organizations formed out of to pornry
divisions, but In tbe cud tbey Invariably drift
hick to two great channels of politic l thought.
Tbe Republican nnd tbo Democratic parties
uro now. as they have been for u long time,
and as they will bo for many years to come,
tho two great lines of political opinion of
tho pcoplo of the country. Sldo issues
will 1m raised and new organizations will bo
formed, but thev will share the fote of tho Frio
feoll and thn Antl-Musonic movements and other
such skeletons as are now found on the political
desert. The Populist party has hud its day, and
it Is now undergoing tho process of disintegra
tion. "I believe the Democratic party should offer
them every reasonable Inducement to return.
There should bo no further division among tbe
white men of Georgia and of the South; and
thore is no better common ground on which they
can all unite than tbe Democratic platform,"

A Plan to Hold av Slate Convention Without
Making nominations.
Coluubcs, O., Aug. 1. Tho gold Democratto
State Committee will meet here on Thursday to
call a State convention. At the July conference
of sound-money Democrats In this city the ad
visability ot putting an independentstate ticket
In the Hold was concurred in with practical
unanimity. Since then, however, several gold
Democratic leaders hvvo ben working with
their associates to prevent this.
Hud tho Democrats adopted a plttform on
State tsoucs, most of tho sound-money men
would have aupported Chapman for Governor;
but as the Columbus convention adopted a plat
form without a single plank devoted to State
matters, nnd mad tho iisue or thu Ohio cam
paign tho oqimrely marked one of the Cnlcngo
plutform. Including its Altgcld features, tho
gold Democrats leel thut Ihoj should mako
tbelr strength tell us effectively as possible.
Accordingly, it Is piopoeed tn name n State
ticket, but to have the convention adopt a
strongly worded resolution refusing support to
any candid ite who stands upon the Chicago
platform. This would bo equivalent to open
fusion with tho I cpubllcnns. and tt Is highly
probable that it will be the action taken.

were a little disappointed to-day at the small
number ot strikers who appeared about Ds
Armltt's mines. Thoy expected 2,000 to come
on the ground to bo ready for De Armltt's
men In tho morning, but only about 600 ap
peared. To-night fifty men pojsed up Fifth
avonue, Pittsburg, dropped In at the miners'
headquarters for instructions, and took
a car for Wllklnsburg, whence they will have to
walk from four to six miles to the mines. These
men came from about five miles below Pitts
burg. Meetings were held all through the day at the
various camps of the strikers, but there was no
collision between them and the deputies.
Tho strikers are csreful not to Infringe upon
the company's property. The Sheriff's procla
mation forbidding them to assemble in numbers
has angered them. T. U. De Armllt, superin
tendent of tho company's mines, tclephonea to
Tits: St'rt correspondent to-nUht that ho is posi
tive the Pium Creok mine men will nil co to
work to-morrow morning. Ho says tho Turtle
Creek and Oak Hill mine will not be so well
manned, nor will tho Sandy Crock mine.
"Somo of our men havo told mo that the
strikers have throatenod to burn their houses
down lfthoy do not strlko," said Mr, De Armllt.
"They havo asked us to bo patient with them,
and say they will return to work as soon
as the excitement dlos down. We nave
had an offer or firty miners for Tuesday, but
havo refused lohiro them, as we believe that
those ot our mon who are staying out will have
.returned to work before that time. They haven't
struck; they're afraid of violence.
Tho United Labor League met to-night and of
course denounced tho Sheriff, nnd pledged sup-
fmrt and sympathy to the miners. According to
be call Issued by Dolan and Warner last night,
a meeting will bo held at McCroa Schoolbouse
to-morrow. Tho miners' officials bellovo that all
kinds of organized labor will havo represent
atives at tho meeting.
TitnnK HacTE. lnd.. Aug. 1. Secretary Ken
nedy of the Indiana miners organisation says
another effort will be made this week to get tho
300 or 400 men at w ork at Ayrethlre and In the
Evansvllle district to Join tbe strike.
Kennedy says thnt the continued passage of
Kentucky coal through tho mining district of
the State to tho Chicago markot u having n bad
effect on tho men. Ho has written to the na
tional officers of tho organization asking them
to send organizers to Kentucky to get the miners
there to como out.
"Tho pnssago of this coal through the State."
said Kennedy, "is a constant temptation to tho
men to make a mlstako and overstep their
rights under tbe law."

The Hon. John Pope Hodnett of 1181 Herki
mer street, Brooklyn, and several other places,
was advertised to deliver addresses "on the
great problems ot the day" at Baiter's Casino,
In East Fifty-first street, Bayonne, yesterday
afternoon and evening. Tho hour for the atUr
noon meeting was 3 o'clock and that for the
evening meeting 8 o'clock. Mr. Hodnett did
not spoak for the reason that not more than half
a dozen persons went to hear him.
With the advertising that the managers gave
tho meeting Mr. Hodnett should hare drawn
crowds to hear him. The circulars announcing
the meeting stated that there was to be " an
oration to the Hon. John Pope Hodnett, the
founder of the Labor party, by the people of
New Jersey." The "great problems ot the day
as they affect tbe Industrial, laborlnr, profes
sional, and business classes of society" were to
bo discussed under four heads, as follows:
" Tbe money question as it Is and should be.
" Tho power of tho Congress of the United
States over the money power.
" The Civil Servico act, disfranchising all the
workingmen of America from holding ofllce Is
It unconstitutional I
" Tho United States has power, independent
of any other power on earth, to declare what
shall be legal tender in the United States, and
to supply the American people with American
money."
The circular also gavo this information about
the orator of tho day:
"Mr. Hodnett Is a famous orator, and has
spoken through all the States. East and West.
Wo expect to see a vast audlonco out to greet
him. As tho founder of the Labor party, and a
great extemporaneous orator and a great con
stitutional lawyer he has a national reputation,
and consequently we expect a vast audience at
the Casino. Mr. Hodnett Is tho Labor and
Democratic candidate for the nomination for
Mayor of Greater Now York this fall, and If he
Is elected Mayor of Orenter New York, ho will
undoubtedly be nominated by the Demo ratic
Convention for next President of tho United
States, and he will bo elected beyond any kind
ot doubt; when elected, ho will be u man,
like Jaikson, In tho Whlto House, who will
do right by all tho people, restore conlidence
mid bring back to the American people order
and universal prosperity; and will be nailed by
alt the people as their deliverer from poverty.
Idleness, chains und slavery. Hurrah for Hod
nett i the friend of honest Labor ! and tbo
rounder or the Iabor party in America I No
living man has donu for the American people
what Hodnett has done in tbo last twenty years
of his public llfo. Ho Is tbe most eloquent and
most fearless orator and lawyer In America to
day. He has devoted all his oast life to the in
terests of the American people; and ho should
be President ot the United States, and ho
will bo."
Appended to tbe circular were the names of
forty-tlvo residents of Jersey City and Ilajonne,
composing tho Committeo of Arrangements.
A Sl. reporter rcicbod the Casino a little
before 3 o'clock. There was a crowd at the
hotel and all about the Casino grounds, but only
thrceor four entered tho building to hour Hoi
nett. While tho orator was waiting tor the
crowd ho told the reporter something about
hitnseir.
" Y cs," ho said, " It's true thnt I founded tho
Labor parly in tho United States. 'I hat was
when I was a boy of 17 In New Y'ork. After
rounding It I mado speeches for it in every btato
in the Lnion, and thousands upon thousands of
peop'o were charmed wltb my oratory nnd con
v lnc-cd by my logic After putting the party on
a sound basin I went to Washington, D. C,
studied law, and was admitted to practice in
the Supreme Court of the United Stutos. Ev. n
at that early age I gavo promise of becoming
tho great constitutional and constructive law
yer which I am to-day.
"As I had other matters of greater moment
than tho interests of the Labor party to occupy
mv attention, other men took my place as leader
of that party. They lied to tho people, betruj ed
them, used tho party as a means of obtain'ng
political preferment, and, after years of such
practices, tho people ramo to distrust the sin
cerity ot any movement mado in the interests of
labor, l'.cnlizlng 111. it tbo party, to which 1
gavo tho flower of my youth was drifting
upon tho rocks, having no master mind tn pilot
it. I have decided, at great personal sncriltce, to
agnln assume the loadershi panel become the can
rtldato for Mayor of Greater Ne.v Y'ork. I de
cided to tiro the tlrsl gun of Iho campaign, as it
were, in Now Jcrse. because I wna told that
at t his nlaco hundreds of laboring men gathered
onSundu.
" It Is perfectly evident to me why tho sons of
toil have not flocked here by thousands to hear
me. You remember tho great strike of 18T7I
Wdl. in that v.ar 1 was in Washington. Tbe
Knlghta of Labor threatened lo seize the Gov
ernment. Haveswas in the Whlto House. Ho
scut for me nnd s cid:
"'Mr. Hodnett. If reports bo true, a mob
threatens to seize the (lovcrnmcnt. They aro
masquerading ns laboring men. Y'ou nro tho
onl) real labor leader in this land. What do
you projosr to do I'
"My reply was.
'" Haves, when the Government Is on one side
nnd tho rule of th" mob on the other I'm with
tho Government exerj time.'
" 'Good!' silcl lln on 'How many men can
you rally to your support I'
" 'Ten Hums .ml men." I replied. 'Ten regi
menus, Thrco thousand Irishmen and 7.000
blacks. I can h v e my men read and armed to
thn teeth n sevontv-lwo hours.'
" Suiil liko a bravo in in and n good citizen,'
said Haves. 'Now. I will issue a proclamation,
and it they want cold i.tcol we'll give it to them.
"Tho laboring men were not long In learning
mv position. Tho Knights of Labor then hired
detectives to watch inj every movement. But
toev-ry ono of their sple. there were three of
tho men of the l'nlte-d States Secret Service,
with orders from tho President to ehoot on tho
spot any man who raised his hand against
Hodnett.
"From that day to this, the gang that has
bon lout It! cd with the Knights of Lilior has
hated me. Thatlsvvbv there is no crowd here
to-dav. "
"What about your candidacy for the Mayor
alty of Greater New York I Hnvo you been
nominated yet I" asked the reporter.
"No, not vol; but Hint's simply n matter of
form. All I nave to do ia to Isaue acailfora
convention, to bo held in New Yorkor Brooklyn,
and tho hosts or labor will gather in that con
vention nnd nominate me by ncclumntion."
After giving this partial biography of lilmelf,
Mr. Hodnett permitted the ropo-ter to make a
few extracts from thospeeehthathowas to have
delivered, and which be has now decided to do
liver on accepting the nomination for Mayor.
Hern are bis views on tbe money question:
"Gold has no purchasing power, except that
given to It by tho Constitution of tho United
States, which, if It sees tit to-morrow, can de
cree tin, Iron, or any other metallic substance a
constitutional substitute ror cold. In oxchango
for produce and labor, in the United States, Just
as tho greenback and silver are. In part,
a auhstitiito for it to-day. I say a sub
stitute in tho L'nttcd HtatcB of Ameri
ca, for we cannot compel foreign countries
tn accept our constitutional sphere money
(that's iho ilrst time It was ever called
sphere money) if tbey do not see fit to do so. at
par value, nor enn they compel us to accept their
money nt their rato of value In ex
chango for our production. Wo can, there
fore, debase their roln in our markets
to tho same level which they debase uurs In
tholrs and compel a reduction of Its face value
in our m irkets. in exchange for our products, to
tho very same level and ratio which they debsse
our constitutional sphere American money in
theirs.
"This will make us exactly even and protect
our flag and commerre In every corner of the
globe, and our money from debasement, and
place our merchants In exactly tbe aims post
tion in foreign markets by our constitutional
sphere money which their merchants hold In
ours."

Indians have suffered grievous wrongs tn their

McLean delegation will bo sent to tho State
Convention and anti-McLean men will be
placed on tho legislative ticket. Until yester
day there were two Democratic factions here,
and a blttor contest was anticipated. One fac
tion was represented by the Brvan Associa
tion and the other by John Farley. Tho
Brj an Association, whilo It offered no Sena
torial eyindl late and upported none in particu
lar, positively end unconditionallv opposed the
aplratlons of John R. McLean. Farley, on the
other hand, became. In the public estimation,
ldcntilled with McLean's candidacy. That
proved too heavy a load for him to carry. Mr.
Farley was not strong enough to make a ac
tional campaign agalnat tho Bryan Association,
with John It. McLean's Senatorial aspirations
as tho virtual issue. His own large and active
personal following were, with exceptions, as un
conditionally opposed to McLean as was the
Br) ,n Association itself. Yesterday was tbe
last day to tile lists of delegations to this County
Convention, and the Farleyites filed none,
