The draft of a discreet circular calling for subscriptions for legitimate expenses is given. Among the signers te this circular were General R. O. Behencr, ex-minister te England. The circular, It Is said, were mailed te or distributed among the Re publican clerks, and many of them had printed across the face in big black type, "It la your Interest te subscribe." These circulars were sent only te these who had contributed In 18SI, and the Hats were carefully revised by the Republican clerks. Many of the circulars were sent te female clerks, enclosed in heavy plate paper envelopes, having the appearance et wed dlnger recaptien tnvltatlenr. Bureven this plan, It Is said, failed te start the money, notwithstanding the fact that at least half of the 10,000 government employee yet In the service are Republi can, or were In 1881. "Senater Quay was Informed of the state of affairs," aaya the dispatch, "and prompt ly came en te Washington, and a new premising plan was hit npen. Obviously no money could be oellected at headquar ters, ana me agents namea in tot circular lied met with peer success. The Republi can elerka believed their offlee, tee, were watehed. Other agenta must be designated. Several were accordingly selected, among them Majer Geerge M. Leck weed, for several years chief clerk of the interior de partment under a Republican administra tion. He is new doing business aa a real estate agent within a stone's threw of the treasury department. ExPnblle Printer A. M. Clapp, an old-time oelleotor of many years' experience, was also authorized te re ceive contributions. H, D. Barr, a well known merchant and enthusiastic Htpub ltcan, was added te the list." Patrick O'Farrell waa another oelleotor. These agenta were instructed te proeeed very carefully, but te nseall diligence In disseminating the Information among Re publican clerks who could be relied upon that subscription would berccelved bythem for the campalgnatand, and that la retura a novel and peculiar receipt would be g.veu which ceula by no ixsaibilliy Involve the holder In trouble with bis Demccratle superiors, but would prove of Inestimable value in the event nt Republican success, With a view of ascertaining the exact char acter of this receipt, a TTerfrf correspond ent caiiea upon junior uockweoo. xcs. sir,' said the mejer, without the slightest hesitation, evidently taking the cor respondent for a Republican clerk 'I bad a long talk with Senater Quay a few days age, and we decided that something must be dena Mr. McPherson is at a Re pnbllean headquarters in this city, but the clerks are afralu te go there te subscribe. We ffnslly concluded that a few responsible men should be selected and authorized te receive these contributions. Thus clerk a could subscribe without danger te them selves.' 'De yen give receipts for these contributions?' asked the correspondent 'Yea, sir,' waa the reply, '1 think there Is where we work a pretty fine scheme. Four years ego the business was badly bungled. Every man'a name was written In full upon his receipt, and then entered upon a list that was rarely ever locked up. Several of them, as you may have heard, fell into the bands of the reporters, and ethers were secured by Democratle officials and made the bals for discharges. New, we don't propeso te make any such bad breaks this year. The whole affair l managed by men who knew their business, and everything is done en the quiet. When a man comes in here and subscribes, 1 don't write hla name en his receipt at all. I simply give him a roeeipt In which a number occurs in place of his name.

In it are regis tered the names and corresponding num bers of alt subscriber?.

Gatcbell and Hreilus Hefaae te Debate the Tariff With Mages. QUARRTVII.I.K, Oct, 11 The tariff dis cussion which had been advertised te take place In Quarryvllle ball last night, between D. F. Msgee end either Dr. Gatcbell or Wm U. Breslus, did net take place, for neither Dr. Gatebell nor Breslus appeared en the scene. Why they did net is net known, but te a brother Republican the Hen. Breslus yesterday said Tem Cochran kicked agalnat these debates and said "they're doing us no geed ;" and the sly doctor, when questioned by a Damoerat yesterday In Lancaster as te whether he would be en band, said he knew nothing et It, but he afterwards with one of these Willow Street winks said he guessed he would hard ly get down, all et whleh has led several Republicans te think that In Denmark there Is something rotten. At the re quest et the audlence, which was very evenly divided politically, Mr. Magee addressed thorn and In his forcible way presented the question very plainly; In fart It became se warm that inany of his Republican hearers found It tea torrid te remain In the hall, and scareely bad he concluded when James Cellins, thu War wick et Celeraln, moved they adjourn. The Republlejns In this county are net anxious te hear tbe tarlll dlscussed, but there will he a few Hoppers right here In Eden, Drumore and Colerain, and the meeting et last night was a great enoeur. ment te the cause.

NEW AMI'S ELECTION. Tne aatn Fer the Democrats el Over Is e Thousand Dispell the Tariff Bear. " Frem the New Yerk Evening Pest. The result of tbe charter election in New ark, the great manufaeturlcg city of New Jersey, Tuesday, will give the Republicans of the country bad chill. Newark li classified in the census of 1SS0 aa one of the twenty principal manufacturing cities et the country. It had In that year 1,319 man ufacturing establishments, employing about 30,000 hands, 22,151 of whom were males above 10 years or age. During the campaUn which preceded Tuesday's elec tion the Republicans "worked tbe Urlff scare ler all It was worth," hoping te make a showing whleh would benefit their cause in ether purls of the country, The election was held under a new registry law, whleh compels every voter te answer questions regarding his age, pltea et birth and length et residence, and which compels the closing; of the polls at suuset Instead of a later hour, as heretofore. The new law was a Republican measure, and was expected te work In the Republican Interest. Finally, tbe Republi cans have carried Invariably the charter election in October In every presidential year. They had In 1884 ever 1,600 majority. Yet at yesterday's election the Doinecrats wen aoempletevlatorv. They elcated their ticket by from COO le 760 majority, out down tbe Republican raslerltv of 10 In lha bnard of aldermen te 0, aud gained oeuttol of the beard of education. The Derm oratle net gain ever 1881 exceeds 2,000. The Repub licans endeavor te extract oemfert from the returns bv comparing them with the elec tion of 1847, when thu Demncratlocandldate for niByer had a plurality cf about 1,800, but' this is a willful delusion, It Is almost the Invarlable rule for the Democrats te carry the city at elections in "11" year?. They carried It In 18TB and In 1SS3, ynt lest It iu the October eleotiens In 18S0 aid In ISSf. In order te show the significance of this result, we will quete some opinions of the Tribune upeu the significance el tbn result In previous presidential years. In 1880 tbe Tribune commented as fellnwf : We quete from its If sue of October 13 of that year: "The aggregate Republican majority Is 2 200. The Democrats iait year swept the elty with a majority el 3,600, tbui showing a Republican galu for tbe present year of 6 700 Tbe tariff question undoubt edly contributed te the Republican gains, the wards whleh showed the lamest gain ever last year biing these Inhabited by worklngmen." On the following day, October 14, 1830, the ZH&unesald: "New Jersey steps out of the doubtful column Inte the column of the solid Republican Nertb-" When election dav came In November et 18S0 It was shown that New Jersey had net " stepped" In this direction, for Han cock carried the state by a plurality of 2 010 though Garfield carried Newark by a ma jority of 1,053 There was a similar result in 1870, when Hayes hsd amsjerltv et 1,193 In Newark, while Tllden carried New Jer sey by ever 12 000 plurality. When tbe RepuLllcans carried tbe city at the charter electten In October four years bue, the Tribune, forgetting tbe sad failure of Its prophecy In 1SS0, became absolutely "sure" of New Jersey for Blaine. It said en October 10, 1831: "In the general rojoio rejoio rojeio Ingover the news from Ohie, tbe Herubll. can vlotery at the charter eleotlen in New ark, N. J., must net be overlooked. The Republicans have n mejer.ty et l,06I,agiln ever last year of 2,287. . . . 'ihls result cannot fa'l te enoeurago Republicans all ever New Jersey, and It Is proof that with faithful work the state is sure for Blaine and Legan In November." This prediction had even werre luck than Its predecessor of 1680, ter, whlle Blaine carried the city of Newark by 687 majority In November, O eveland carried New Jersey by 4,412. New, if a Republican ma jority et 1,651 and a Republican gainet 2,287 In October of 1831, fnrsbadewed a Damn Damn cratle majority el 4.412 In the presidential election of November following, what does the Damoeratio majority of 700 and tbe Demecratljgnln ef2.000ln Tuesday's elec tion foreshadow ? We wish that the Tri bune would figure en this for us, or what Is, perhaps, Just as con clusive, prepnesy a llttle. Te our mind tbe lessen el the election Is plain enough. It show?, what tbn Malno eleotlen also sbewrd, that the "tariff" scare" Is net working ; that even In the manufacturing strongholds lies and forgeries about wages are net deeelvlng tbe wage earners. It shows that the working men of this country are far tee Intelligent te bedecelved by such disgraceful appeals ter tbelr votes, and that the party which prides Itself upon contain ing the larger part et the " virtue and in telligence " et tb6 people is making the greatest mistake of lu career In endeavor ing te carry the country by appealing te lta Iguerance and prejudice. Enceuraging: Ilrpertt Frem the West At the meeting of the Domecratlo national committee In New Yerk en Wednesday all the members were i atlsfied from the reports -made te them that Michigan is already aura for Cleveland and Thurman, and that, If the eurrent toward Democracy in Illinois keepa flowing en at lta present rate until eleotlen tbat'state will cast its vote for Cleveland and Thurman tee. Michigan easts 13 elec toral vetes and Illinois 22 enough with Indians, added te tbe 163 votes which are conceded te be sure for Cleveland, te give tbe Democracy the national election. Mr. Barn urn gave tbe commutes a de tailed peceunt of the progress and situation of tbe campaign in Connecticut which com pletely did awav with the Republican claims of victory. He assured hta fellow members and they all knew what an as surance from him means that Connecticut would Icaat tin electoral vote for Utevelactt and Thurman. Dr. Ncely, the mayor of Leavenworth, Kansai, told the oemmlttoo that ewlug te the conversion et thufariners te tarltl relerru and the growth of tbe Union Laber party tbe Republican plurality will be very small and the atate may go te the Doinecrats. Illinois Is by no rueans beyond tbe grasp of tbe party or tarlll reform. Mr. Barnes produced evidence that Michigan was net doubtful. Mr. Sheerln said: "I am Just from Indiana We will carry tbe state by a substantial votes. 1 believe that tbe only hope which tbe RepublleuM new entertain Is based en fraudulent practices. We made tbem a preposition ter joint action te prevent fraud, but our offer was net aecepted." I-L.4.V1NU TO WIN ILLINOIS Hopes cr Electing a Ut-raocratle Senater te Hucceeu Heutter Ualluin.

The track there runs oleeo beside the Lf high rlvcr,aud a Meep embankment, CO te 76 feet high, runs down from t no tracks te the river. The tracks et the Central railroad of New Jersey run along the opposite side of tbe river, and the passengers en the train that readied Wllkesbane at 10 o'clock had a distinct view of tbe awlul scene by the light of glimmering lBtnps and terches, They state that tbe cars were smashed te ptecea and hurled from the tracks, and several bad rolled part of the way down the steep enibsnkmeut, and etbeia were atandlng right across the track.

The last three cara of the first section, filled te overflowing, were to te totally wrecked and all tbe passengers in the rear ear were killed.
