WASHINGTON Mcitmu TIM : OMUH Hnc , ) 51 ! { Fet im.Kvrit STiiniT : , > WASHINGTON , D. C. , July 1. ) Heprosentntlvo Vance , who was elected as A democrat by a small majority with the assistance of a largo vole cast for the pro hibition candidate , says Harrison and Mor ton will llkclv carry Connecticut , and the democrats may as well icallro it llrst as last. With Connecticut and Indiana and the other states carried by Hlaine , the republicans can elect their ticket without New York , no says , and he adds that the tariff plank of the plat forms of the two pintles will give the icpub licans strength In nil the doubtful states. Mr. Vance continues : "The democrats are not to have a walk-over by any means , and the sooner the fact Is rccjgnbed the bct'er. ' Connecticut , as is known , Is an exceedingly doubtful Btiitc. It never gives a plural ity for either side of over a few thousand. Since ls2 Its electoral vote has alternated from one party to the other In every presidential campaign. In isT'J It went for Grant and Wilson , in 1S70 for Tilden and Hcndricks , In 1SSO for Gaillcld and Authur nml In 1SC4 for Cleveland and Hcndricks. This year , In order to carry out the natural order of rotation it seems that It had ought to go for Harrison and Morton. Connecticut's industries nro well protected under the present sent tariff-law and this is why the situation Is made doubtful. Gradually , but surely the democrats are generally becoming serious and areackt.owl edging that n combination of circumstances conspires to weigh tlieir ticket down and that the outlook is not as hopeful as they at llrst thought. AllHANOINI ! TO noOIII.KIZR IN'I > IIN\ . When Shcerin , Indiana's member ofthe democratic national committee , wan here hist week to sco the president it is stated that ho advocated the establishment of a western branch | jf the national commlttcj of Indianapolis and that his friends urged Chairman Hurnum mid others .to place him nt tlie head of it. Some of the members of the committee objected to Mr. Shcerin becoming the manager of tbo branch , however , and insisted that Senator Gorman should bo placed in charge with a view to carry Indiana for Cleveland and Thiirinan. Mr. Shcrwin made n good enough impression but a great many democrats feel a little doubtful about putting nny Indiana man in charge of the western branch when they recall the fact that in IbbO , up to the hist hour of election night , all the Indiana managers thought Indiana was surely democratic , heir conlldcnco being so great that a few days before election ? 25,000 was by their consent and advice diverted from Indiana and sent to Cincinnati to be swallowed up by the ward bummers of that city. Then the paity at largo does not have an abiding confidence in the ability of booster democrats to handle money in the persuasion of voters and the object In sending Gorman to Indianapolis is to sco that there is not only as good mi organisation as can bo af fected but that tlio floaters are boodloizod and that the prohibition ticket is booaied seas as to catch us many republican votes as poss ible. rooi.s ON Tiin KM.CTION. Dispatches sent from Washington during the past week have told of the woiJc of the pool rooms and the odds that are laid against the republican ticket. In every instance the statements wcro made by democratic writers and advocates of tlie pres. nt admin Istrntion. During the Hi st two or three dai s after the Chicago convention it was reported at the pool rooms , which aio now all located inside the city limits , that odds wore oflcrcd against tlio republican ticket , but 1 have failed to find posted on any of tlio boards anything of tlio kind. The odds for Cleve land have all been in tlio minds of enthusias tic democrats. A very few bets have been made on even terms , but there is moiomonc.y laid on the success ol Harrison and Morton than on Cleveland. Hcpro entativo Wood burn , of Nevada , ollors to bet $1,000 on each state that Califoinl.i , Nevada and Oicxon will go republican next November. Scnatoi Uowcn has an opinion that he Is icady to back up with about 10,000. IIo will select ten northern states , including Indiana.

[ Special to Tnc DEC.j A slight explanation of Dr Talmago's strange conduct in refusing to keep his contract at Crete is now supposed to have been discovered. The last number of the Congregatlonnllst , a paper published in New Yoik City , announces tliat Dr. Till- mage's ' church will soon go on an excursion to the White mountains Many Chautau- quans now suspect that upon leainlng of this contemplated dissipation on the part of the sheep of his pasture the learned doctor could not resist the temptation to run away from his engagements and go along with them. If the unforeseen circumstances that caused Mr. Talmago to break his contract at Crete , bitterly mortifying the management of the assembly and disappointing thousands of people , was nothing moro than a desire to go pienielng with his flock ho will soon discover that the assembly people will not patiently enduio such treatment and will bo forced to take the consequences of willfully breaking a leg-ill engagement. Two telegrams ad dressed to Dr. Talmago were received at the Cietc oflleo this morning. This shows that Talmago's friends in the cast expected him to bo in Crete to day. Yesterday was children's day at the assem bly At 'J p. in. about two hundred children met at the normal hall , mid having formed a p-occssion , marched to the pavilion and filed into the seats reserved for them. The audience at this hour numbered between I.OUOamt 5,001) ) . Dr. Dunninggavothochildren a blackboard lesson on American history. Having ascertained by a show of hands that most of the children present had read "The Pilgrims' Progress , " ho told the little people that lie would tell them about a new pilgrim and what ho did. In the year 1G20 our new pil grim landed on Plymouth Hoek. In llUl ho kept Thanksgiving day ; in 1022 ho built his first meeting house ; in i ( ' < ' 2'3 ho had a fast day ; in ItiUO ho began to build Boston ; in 1G3. > he settled Connecticut ; in 1033 ho founded Har vard college ; in lOI.'l ho organized a colonial congress ; in KUSU lie printed a Uiblo for the Indians ; in IGsO he began to use a fork , and hung a clock on his wall. It took our pilgtim almost a century to do all these wonderful things. Then ho began the work of another century. In 170.3 ho founded Yale college ; In 1704 lie printed his first newspaper in Hos- ton ; in 1710 he began to drink tea ; ia 1711 he put his first letter in a postoflico ; in 17:20 : ho began to cat potatoes ; in 17-15 ho built an organ ; in 1750 he put up n stove and a light ning rod ; in 1700 he began to wear a shirt collar , and took his wife to church in a chaise ; In 1705 he joined the sons of libeity ; in 1770ho dumped Ids tea into Uoston liar , bor ; in 1774 he lit his streets with oil lamps ; in 1770 ho became independent ; in 1780 ho bought his llrst unibicllu ; in 1700 he started a cotton factory , and in 1K { ) he made himself a cotton gin. This completed the work of another century. Dr Dunning then told what the new pil grim did in the present century following him year by year. Coming down to the pies cut decade , he said : "Now , children , what did this pilgrim do in ivj. " "Ho stalled the Nebraska Cliautauqua , " shouted a chorus of childiea's voices , "Uight,1' said the doctor , "ami for whom dldholcctuic in IssM" "For Ptcsidcnt Harrison , " shouted the children , and the pavillion rang with laugh ter. ter.The children thoioughly enjoyed Dr. Dun mug's history lesson and clapped their hands in applause at its close. Colonel Cowdcn then gave a shoit chil dren's ' lesson , and u Huiinese , whoso name is unspclhible , gave a Jive minutes' talk Miss Ilaiiilin then sang an appiopuate clul- dien's song and the little people weio dis missed , greatly delighted with the exorcises of Children's day. In the evening Colonel Hain delivered his lectuie on tlie "Golden Gate , " a synopsis of which was given in to-day's Hrc. It was unanimously pronounced the finest lectuie and the finest audience tlms was ever known at the Nebraska assembly. Miss Cora Cates , the sweet singer , arrived on the grounds Satuiday evening , and will lietcafter assist with the music. At 5 p in. yesterday there was a college confeienco. Addresses weie made by Piesi- dent Perry , of Doanc colleire , and by PICSI- dcnt lUnghind , of Hastings college. Tin question. "Why Young Men Should Go to College , " was ably discussed by these gen tlemen. The progress of higher education m the west and the need of a well disciplined mind were the two points especially einpha sized. Sunday morning ut the assembly is some thing that will never be forgotten by the tent dwellers. The beauty of the morning , tllo crowds of happy people , the pence and good older and .Sabbath tmnquility that reigned over all the beautiful Summer city will long linger in the memory of all. The lirst wedding that ever occuried on the assembly giciunds took place in the par lor ol Dunning hull this morning. Andiew M. Hargis mid Ida M. Kvans. of Giand Island , chose this beautiful Sabbath for theli wedding day , and the beautiful parlor of the new assembly building for the place of the occurrinie of the hapiiy event. They came to the asseinblj with the expectation ol being married by Dr. Tiilmago. but us Mr. Talmago did not please to bo hero the young couple askoJ Dr. Dunning to perfoim the ceremony The wedding was witnessed by soveia guests of Dunning hall und by some of the olllccrs of the assembly. This being Sunday morning the prayer meeting was hold at f > o'clock. Hetweei yHit ( > and liKt ) people were present. The subject was , "Cluisi's words to us. " The audience had been requested to be ready to repeat as many as possible of Cluistsowi : words , and many complied with the request A , ported shower of Christ's snjings came fiom all over the audience , a half do/ei people sometimes rising up together. Tins was not only the largest but also the bos and most cainost ol all the assembly prayei meetings This is saying a good deal , for assembly prajer meetings aio all wonder fully interesting and eainest and well at tended. The only drawback about them is that people keep coming in during everi moment of the mooting. More eaio nbou bc-ing in tune would bo greatly appreciated both by those wiio have charge of thos < meetings and by these who uirivo at the piopcr time. At 10.10 ! Colonel Hain delivered a gospo : tempenuico sermon The elioius , composci of 15llvoices , sang the antlu-m , "Praise jo Jehovah , " which was composed by Dr Palmer , who was present in the audience having nrnved at Crete. last evening. Dr Dunning then announced that lie had re ceived a telegram from , Dr. Tnlmuge , who I * in ithoilo Island , and claims that he is BO ovirt-omo by beat ami by frequent lecturing that he is physically incapacitated from com ing to Nebra kn Tins would sound very well if nobody suffoied from the heat except 13 r Talmago. und If Col onel Hail ) , who ban of late done more und Lnltiir lecturing than Dr. Taluiago has done , had not done his work for him. The Bleat preaehpr-will find a hotter excuse than a little heat and a little physical weakness if ho exiic'eU the thousands whom ho disap pointed to forgive hiai'fcr failing to keep his contract. Thc.large audience of this ; awn- ng the number present being variously cs- Imatcd at from ten to llftcen thousand , re ceived the news of Ur. Ttilmapo's wherea bouts , and his forced excuse with much in- llffcrcnco. Everybody has grown weary of dm , and Colonel Unin Is now receiving the ittentlon and applause nf all.

Colonel Ingcisoll was the bitterest enemy of Koscoo Colliding that I ever heard of. Ho did not dislike Colliding personally as much as ho did politically. Ho worshiped Hlaine , as ono can see by reading his speech placing him In nomination at Cin cinnati In lb G. He thought that Hlaine was the ideal statesman , politician and citizen. Ho regarded Colliding as haughty , ungrateful , prejudiced and narrow-gauged.

Gorham's excoria tion of Hlaine , recently published in a Now York paper , and his laudations ol Colliding , and will take into consideration that Gorhani and Ingersoll are intimate friends , and then you will also lead the colonel's eulogy de livered ut the old homo of Mr. Colliding , you will sec that Colonel Inkers-oil's ideal of man was Mr. Colliding at thu time ol the hitter's death. 1 cati understand how Colonel Injjcr- sell came to love Mr. Colliding as ho did , but I have been unable to understand why Ingersoll so thoroughly despises Mr. Ulaino. " "During the Kepublican convention at Chicago in I'-Sl , I went to the rooms of Col onel Ingersoll , in the Grand Puciilc hotel , for the purpose of ascertaining why he had lo cated his headquaiters tlieio to work against the nomination of Air. Ulaine , when but eight years bcfoio ho was running the boom of the Plumed Knight , to whom ho gave this title , at Cincinnati. Mrs. Ingersoll , who is one of the brainiest , happiest and sweetest- dlspositioncd women in all the country , was In the parlor with Colonel IngcrsollBwhen-I was admitted. Both of them received mo as nearly simultaneously as is possible' ' 'I ' Colonel said I 'to if came , , , see you would not tell me , for publication , what has brought about this great change of attitude towards Mr. Ulaine on your part. ' " "Certainly,1 said the Colonel.in hisusually frank and good imtured way , ' 1 will toll jou. There is no secret about it , whatever I thought everybody knew why we , ' tuining to Mrs. Ingersoll and laying his hand on her shoulder , 'aftuctiunntely , aie now opposed to Mr. Ulaine , while we were for him at Cin cumuli in Is'G. " 'Lot mo tell him , eolonel , ' interposed Mr. Ingcisoll ; 'I think 1 can do it quite as well as ion can , and 1 have moro time than you have. ' " ' "Very well , ' replied the colonel , and I took a scat beside Mrs. Ingersoll , when she began to talk , as nearly as 1 can remember as follows : " ' 1 have often told Colonel Ingersoll dur ing the past thieeyeais that there was Just ono thing that 1 icgretod moie than all others in all of ins political ciueer and that was the magnificent speech ho delivered for Mr. Hlamo at Cincinnati when ho placed him in nomination , and when lie used those memor able phrases : 'The past rises before mo like a dicam , ' 'the plumed knight , ' and other expressions you are as familiar with as I am , no doubt. There is no man living who is a dearer friend and a moro enthusiastic friend than Colonel Ingersoll. His friend ship for those lie admires is unbounded and proverbial. Ho loved Mr. Hlamo as lie did a brother and his enthusiasm for him and his confidence in him led mo to bo as strong a Hlaine woman as ho was a Hlaine man. 1 fairly awakened him ut night when lie was preparing his nomination speech and made suggestions to him to bo used in his eulogy Mr. Hlaino was defeated , of course , and Mr. I hues was nominated.V'o retained our ad miration and friendship for Mr. Hlaine until Mi. Garlleld went into the white house in March , IhSI. During the campaign which ended in the election of General Gaiiloht , Colonel Ingersoll did everything ho could to bring abuut success fortho republican ticket. You remember there weie great posteis made and circulated all over the country on which weie extracts from Colonel Ingoisell's speech , placing in nomination Mr. Ulaine , and Mr. Garlleld was held up as the ideal friend of the Plumed Knight. Colonel Inger sell delivered speeches and worked like a ward politician. Naturally , when General Garilold went into the white house , wo pre sumed that wo had , ut least , the icspoctof the president , and that wo would have some influence with him. Colonel Inger sell never wanted a federal ofllce. His am bition lies in other ditc'Llioiis. Tlieio is not a single position within the c'ift ol the presi dent he would Imvo now or ever \\ould have had. He would rather be what he is than be pn sident , because he would not bu able to toward his friends , if ho wcro In power , to the extent that he would desire , and , as u consequence , he would bo miserable. The colonef was among the first to call upon Pres ident Garlleld , nml to congratulate him not only upon his success , hut upon the organi/- ation of his cabinet. Ho uas especially pleased \\ith the selection of Mr. Hlaine to be secretary of state. Ho thought hm Plumed Knight would make a grand premier of the cabinet. D.IJS llnally slipped into weeks , and the weeks finally made two or three months after President Garllold went into the white house. The colonel discov- eicd along about this time that his reccp lions ut the white house were growing coal , and at times ho was compelled to wait in the icception loom with the masses of people ple who.had no other than trivial polit ical or social business with the presi dent.Vo talked the matter over and 1 told the colonel that the trouble came irom Mr. Hlamo. He would nut believe it , but said ho would go and sco Mr. lilainu. He culled upon him at his residence or his private ofllco in the department of state , and while he could discover that ihcro was ti change in the man , so far as his pcisonul attitude to ward him was coiifctncd , Mr Ulaine patted him on the back , smiled blandly into his eyes and ussuicd him that ho was the same dear and truu friend that he always was , und that ho would make him all right at the white house. Instead of maltois getting better at the white house they grew weiso. Now , 1 discovered the secret Mj personal relations with Mrs Hluinu had , up to the tune of Mr. blame's induction into the cabinet , been such its to lead me to oxpect-no ( . that I es pecially desired iti-tu be received into full me.mbership of thu cabinet society. I re membered all at ouco that there , had been numerous recaptions an.d ilmnois given by people' connected V.Uh the cabinet , uud that 1 ind not received invitations to them. I told the colonel that Mrs. Hlamo was at the bottom tom of all the difficulty. It was but n few Injs Until my suspicions wcro con tinued , and 1 instantly said that 1 did not want to associate with nay of the lot , and from that moment wo cut the hypocritical crowd. 1 never said a word or did an act except in friendship nnectinc Mrs. Ultimo , Mrs. Garilold , or either of fieir hus- Imads , and I am sure that the same is true of Colonel lupoi soil Now you know whv we worooppo pil to Mr. Ulaine in Chlcaco in ISM , whllo wo wore for him in Cincinnati in l i " ' "It has been suggested , and 1 believe It. that ono thing \\hich largely Influenced Colonel Inecisoll to work for , ludo Grcsham at Chicago last weoic was the fact that the Judee was an ardent friend of Mr Colliding , and has no p.itienoo with Mr. Hlalno. while Colonel In 'M-soll Is a man of as little prejudice as any one I can think of , there is no doubt in my mind , that the sympathies and dl llko < of a man like Judge Giesham would Imvo an iiillueneo upon Colonel lugersoll when they run in such sympathetic ! ! ! channels as they do. Theio are many reasons pci mial to Colonel In ersolllnch argue in favor of his alliance with Judge Grcsham. " TO UK IM.UMINATRI ) .

Oregon Is going to have an illumination on the Fourth of July which will no do ubt attract attention around the world. L-ist year u party of live adventurous and sturday young men as cended Mount Hood nearly to the summit , which Is 12,300 feet hleh , each carrying twenty pounds of red lire , and at 11 :30 : p m. set fire to It. The illumination was seen in this city , fifty-two miles distant as the crow Hies , by more than forty thousand people , who wcro watching for it , and persons living in southeastern Oregon. 110 miles from the "snowy sentinel , " saw the bla/e plainly. Tills year a 'chain of snow-coveicd peaks , stretching from northern California nearly to the British Columbia line , a distance of 700 miles , will bo illuminated with red lire. The committee in charge of the connnq ; cele bration in tills city stalled the ball rolling by a liberal appropriation for illuminating Mountt Hood , St Helen's and Adams , all three within sixty miles of Portland. The matter has been placed in the hands of Wil liam G. Steel , secretary of the Oregon Al pine club , who will superintend personally the \\ork on Mount Hood. Ho has already organised a paity of eight and will leave hero Juuo ! tO Other Poitland parties will attend to Adams and St. Helen's A party from Kugeno will illuminate the Thieo Sistcts , near the head of the William- otto valley , about 1'JO miles south of hero , and a party fiom Ashland will Illuminate Mount Pitt , a peak forty miles north of the Califor nia. Airaagements have been perfected by the citizens of Sissons , Cal. , to burn red fire on the summit of Shasta. They will have to undergo little hardship , as the grandest of Paciilc coast snow peaics is only sixteen miles distant. The citizens of Seattle , AV. T. , will illuminate Mount liamier , and the Poit To\Miseml people at e expected to take care of Mount Haker. Should the night prove cloudless , a person on any of the hills back of Portland will bo able to see the lire burning on live mount ains , namely , IJaincr , St. Helen's , Adams , Hood and the Three Sisters. Each illumi natimr party will bo able to see the wet k of at least one of the others. Haintor will bo able to see Hood. Hood to sec the Three Sis ters , mid so on down to Shasta.

Should the utmos phone condition uo very favoiablc , elicits \ \ ill bo made to signal to and fro after night.
