INDEPENDENCE DAY A.T T AM!! AN I
HALL.
Monday July 4th was a red letter day
for the democracy of New York City.
They gathered at the large Wigwam to
celebrate Independence Day, and ratify
the nominations made at Chicago.
Shortly after ten o'clock a man rose in
the gallery and yelled, '-Three cheers
for Grover Cleveland '' Four thous
and followers of the Wigwam had
gathered there to celebrate Independ
ence Day. They responded to the call
for cheers with such enthusiasm as to in
terrupt the regular proceedings fcr fully
five minutes. Never, perhaps, in the
'u'story of Tammany Hall has the men
ion of a favorite son's name been re
vived with such a welcome as that
.roused by the two magic words,
'Grover Cleveland."
The repeated and long continued
outbursts of cheers for the Democratic
candidate for President astonished the
politicians. Those who are prominent
in the councils of Tammany Hall and
were seatea on tne platiorni watched
the crowd with evident astfinlsliment
Hundreds of men with lusty throats
juwpcu on cnairs and shouted for
Cleveland. As many more threw their
hats into the air. It was wnmlorfni
Cleveland demonstration and it oc-
cure.1 in Tammany Hall.
The celebration itself was one of the
most successful ever held by Tammany
Hall on the natal day. Under the
constitution of the society, every re
currence of the Fourth nf TnKr ,v,Cf
be celebrated in the Wigwam by the
idling 01 ine immortal Declaration
and the delivery of natriotie sneprhea
The large assembly room was hand
somely aecorateci. Light blue velvet,
embroidered with gold stars, was fes
tooned around the platform, gallery
and boxes. The escutcheons of the
various States hung on staffs along the
gallery front, and the Star-Spangled
Banner was the only flag to be seen.
In the centre ot the platform was a
bank of roses. On each side was an
immense floral horseshoe. One of these
bore the inscription "1779," the year
of Tammany So:ietie's founding. The
other was Morally inscribed with the
date "1892," the 116th year of Ameri
can freedom.
There was not even standing space
in the assembly room at 10 o'clock.
Every seat on the floor and in the
gallery and boxes had been occupied
long before the hour set for the beginn
ing of the programme. Bayne's Sixty
ninth Regiment Band played popular
and. patriotic music, while the crowd
awaited the appearance of the Sachems,
the officers of the society and the or
ators. As soon as the procession arrived at
the doors of the big hall the crowd set
up a shout and the band played a
grand march. Reaching the platform,
distinguished visitors were given front
seats and Grand Sachem Gilroy took
possession of the Chairman's table.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, and
Congressman Wilson, of West Virginia
Permanent Chairman of the Chicago
Convention, were to deliver "long
talks." neither was able to do so. Sena
tor Daniel did not come to New York.
Congressman Wilson arrived Sunday
evening but wa3 taken ill it the Hoff
man House.
Letters were read from distinguish
ed members of the party who had been
invited but weiv unable to attend the
celebration. Secretary McGoldricl;
began reading the first letter.
"Gray Gables," he said, but he had
scarcely sounded the last syllable when
a mighty cheer went up. He was
compelled to stop reading by the con
tinuancc of the applause. It was at
this point that the man in the gallery
proposed three chccrsV for Cleveland,
anl the crowd renewed its enthusiasm
for the head of the national ticket.
Mr. Cleveland's letter was then read
as follows : '
Mr. Cleveland's Letter
(iRAT OABLIO, BlZZAKIi'S B V, MASS.,)
June , 1st' f
lion. Ttmaf F, Oltrov, (Stand tiKhrtn,
Dear Sir: I acknowledge with
thanks the courtesy of an invitation to
attend the celebration of the one hun
dred and sixteenth anniversary of
American independence, by the Tam
many Society, on the 4th day of July
next.
It will be impossible for me to take
part in the interesting exercises you
contemplate ) but I hope the celebra
tion will be abundantly pleasant and
profitable to those who are fortunately
able to participate.
I believe that Independence Day
should be celebrated with zeal and en
thusiasm by the old and young in every
part of our land and in every condition
of American life. No man, woman or
child within the limits of American
citizenship should forget or outgrow
the sentiments related to the observ
ance of the Fourth day of July.
Because there are influences and
tendencies abroad which tend to the
neglect of this anniversary the valuable
and patriotic efforts of the Tammany
Society to rescue it from independence
ought to be universally applauded.
1 notice that my invitation contains
the declaration that the coming cele
bration by the society "is designed to
be of exceptional significance and ex
tended effect. ' I liave no fear that
the design will miscarry, for I am satis
fied that the Tammany Society will
not lose the opportunity the occasion
affords to teach that the Declaration
cf Independence was a movement on
the part of people determined to govern
themselves ; that the patriotism it in
spires enjoins unselfish care for our
country's welfare ; that political en
deavor is only safe and useful when
undertaken in the peoples interest,
and that political organization is only
effective and successful when approved
and trusted by an intelligent popular
judgment. Yours very truly
Grover Cleveland.
Following this Senator Hill's letter
wa3 read as follows :

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, July 4, 1892.
Mr Harrison lid not enjoy his Fourth
of July even a little bit. He is as mad
as it is possible for a man of his glacial
temperament to get. He is mad with
those icpublican Senators who voted
for the Stewart free coinage bill, but
it is upon the head of Vice President
Morion that the vials of his hottest
wrath are being figuratively emptied.
Had Mr. Morton been in his seat as
presiding officer of the Seiiate when
Senator Vest moved to postpone con
sideration of the free coinage bill un
til next December the motion would
have carried, and the present dilemma
escaped as the vote thereon was a tie,
Mr. Morton, who is opposed to free
coinage, would have had the casting
of the decisive vote. Mr. Harrison
is doing everything in his power to
prevent the free coinage bill passing
the House although it is stated that be
is anxious to veto it.
Congress is not in session to-day.
To-morrow the free coinage bill will be
taken from the speaker's table, where
it was placed Saturday when jent
over from the Senate, and referred to
the committee on Coinage. A meeting
of that committee has been called for
Wednesday by chairman Bland and,
if it is attended by a quorum, the bill
will probably be at once reported to the
House with a recommendation that it
be passed. Then the fighting will be
gin. The silver men will apply to
the committee on Rules for a rule
setting one or more days for a con
sideration and a time for taking a fin
al vote; this will be opposed by the
anti-silver democrats. The silver men
threaten to stop all business in the
House until a vote is had on the bill.
The outcome will depend largely upon
two things, the attendance of demo
crats.and the attitude of the republican
mcmbets. So far as Mr. Harrison
can control the republican members
they will side with the anti free coin
age democrats, but it is by no means
certain that he can control them. One
thing is certain, it will be absolutely
necessary to have a voting quorum
on the floor to pass the bill, as the
democratic antis will not vote unless
certain of victory.
Ex Senator Farwell, of Illinois, has
published a letter in a Washington
paper that is causing much talk, and
which shows that Mr. Farwell is no
greiter admirer of Mr. Harrison now
than he was when he retired from the
Senate to make room for a good demo
crat in the person of Senator Palmer.
Hecalls attention to the fact that some
three years ago he and numerous
other republicans then in Congress,
recommended Mr. W. J. Campbell,
of Illinois, as a suitable man to be
appointed collector of Customs at
Chicago, and that Mr. Harrison said
that Mr. Campbell was a professional
lobbyist and unfit for the position, and
positively refused to appoint him. Mr.
Farwell wishes to know why Mr. Har
rison selected a man for the responsi
ble position of chairman of the repub.
lican national committee whom he
had refused to appoint to a Federal
position because of his being "a pro
fessional lbboyist".
By sticking to their guns, the House
conferees on the River and Habor
bill compelled the Senate conferees to
recede from the Senate amendments
to which the House disagree. It is
going to be just the same with a
number of the appropriation bill, the
member? the House being fully
determine .. that the Senate shall not
force them to accept amendment
appropriating large sums of money to
which they and their constituents are
opposed, even if the session has to be
prolonged in order to bring the sena
tors around to correct ideas.
Senitor Hill voted for the Stewart
tree coinage bill and says he did so be
cause ne considers it an improvement
upon the present (Sherman) silver
law, which it repeals if it become a law.
Representative Baker, of Kansas,
one of the Alliance members of the
House, thinks we pay our officials too
mucn, and has introduced a bill mak
ing the President's salary twenty-five
thousand dollars, Vice President five
thousand dollars, members of the
Cabinet six thousand, Chief Justice
Supreme court seven thousand,
Associate Justices six thousand five
hundred, Spjaker of the House five
thousand, and U. S. Senators and
Represent ttives three thousand.
Ex-boss Clarkson, is getting him
self laughed at. His proclamation
occupying about a column in the news
papers explaining his relation to the
republican national committee and
the ticket is about as silly a bit of
egotism as was ever inflicted on the
reading public, which knows that the
only trouble with Clarkson is that in
making a bargain with Mr. Harrison
by which he could have remained at
the head of the committee.
Friends of the administration are
making it pleasant for the Secretary
of State by telling every one that the
appointment was only given him as a
temporary make-shift, because of his
knowledge of the details of matters
now before that department. The
fact is that none of the really big men
in tire republican party cared to accept
position which tney knew would
have to be ;iven up the Fourth of next
March.

BLOODSHED FOLLOWS THE S'
BATTLE EETV7EEN PIN.KEETON DE
TECTIVES AND THE STSiSERS-
On Wednesday, Pittsburg hr.d an
other experience with labor liots. This
time, as during the fearful scenes which
were witnessed during the railioad riots
of 1877, blood has been shed, life jeo
jiatdized and valuable property placed
in danger. This time there was no
destruction of property, but the mob
was thoroughly organized, well discip
lined and had efficient officers at the
head to conduct the operations.
The warfare, waged from four o'clock
in the morning until five o'clock in the
afternoon, and only ceased when ihc
force of Pinkertons brought to the
place to suppress the strike, uncondi
tionally surrendered, leaving their arms
in the barge m which they had been
transported to the works.
BIO REDUCTION IN WACES.
The riot was the culmination of
troubles which have been brewing
at Homestead for the past month. 1 he
Carnegie company submitted a scale
to govern their workmen in the steel
plants and announced that it was their
ultimatum. The scale made a sweep
ing reduction in wages of skilled men
and it was officially announced that
unless the teims were complied with
before July i, the places of the work
men would be filled by others.
This was followed by a peremptory
refusal on the part of the company to
recognize the Amalgamated associa
tion of steel and iron workers as such,
or to confer with any committee of
workmen short of an acceptance of the
terms offered. The men stated that
they would never submit to the pro
posed icduction, and announced their
determination to resist any effort on
the part of the Carnegies to start up
their plants with non-union men. The
contest was precipitated by
THE WORKMEN AT HOMESTEAD
by hanging H. C. Fnck, president of
the company in efhgy, and in retaha
tion the company ordered an imme
diate shut down of the big works two
days before the time provided by the
contract, under which the men were
working. The employees at once pro
ceeded to organize for the defensive
and the company erected a high-board
fence around the entire works, giving
tnem the appearance of an immense
stockade, the sides being pierced with
port noies.
The Carnegie Company had ordered
out the Pinkerton detectives to aid
them in keeping the non-union men
at work. 1 he detectives had been in
rendezvous some five or six miles be
low the city on the Ohio river, where
two model barges had been prepared
for them.
The barges were of the best build,
and were used in shipping iron rails
down the river from the Carnegie mills
at Braddock. The holds were filled
up with bunks, cooking arrangements
and other accomodations, and as an
extra precaution, as if in preparation
ior tne siege to which they were sub
jected, were lined with heavy
steel plates on the inside while the
whole back deck was protected in
similar manner. It was the intention
that the men should teach the works
about three o'clock in the mornini. but
the guards which were on duty along
me river got word of the threatened
invasion of the hated Pinkerton men
and prepared to recieve them.
The barges were towed up the river
by a towboat, but long before the
Pinker on men reached Homestead
thousands of strikers had cathered on
the banks of the river ready to give
them a hearty welcome. When the
boats attempted to land, the workmen
broke through the fence surroundincr
the mil), and entrenching themselves
behind piles ot steel billets, prepared
to resisit the landing of the detectives.
A FIERCE BATTLE PRECIPITATED.
By four o'clock in the morning an
effort was made to land the detectives,
but the strikers met them and a
fierce battle was precipitated, both
sides exchanging a heavy volley of
shots. The detectives were all armed
with Winchester rifles, but at the
point where the attempt to land was
made there was a steep embankment
and they were compelled to go in
single file, and were soon driven back
to the boats by the steady fire from
the shore. The noise of the battle
spread about the borough like wildfire
and thousands of men, women and
children thronged to the river bank to
witness the fight in progress. The
Pinkerton men were determined to
land and they poured volley after
volley into the ranks of the strikers,
many of whom were striken down by
the. bullets, some of them being fatally
injured and others killed outright.
As the battle progressed, the strikers
took up a position behind a breast
work hastily constructed of steel rails
and billets, and from this place of safe
refuge were able to pick off the detec
tives as soon as they appeared on the
deck of the boats. In the meantime,
Captain Hein and Superintendent
Kline, of the Pinkerton men, were dis
abled, and the fire was so fierce that
the crew of the tow boat hastily cut
loose from the barge and steamed un
the river, carrying as many of the
wounded as they could reach 15rad.
dock from which point they were sent
down to the hospitals for treatment at
Pittsburg. Seven of the force were
thus cared for, while the strikers that
leu wounded were carried to their !
home at Homestead, the dead being
taken to the morgue and undertaking
rooms in the town.
The strikers had secured two can
non and placed one on each side of
the river. With these they kept up a
constant fire upon the barge, and
splintered the outside oaken timbers,
but could not penetrate the steel plates.
Many of the strikers were expert
marksman and sent shot after shot in
the port holes doing great injury.
Hose was secured and oil spouted
through it over the deck of the barge
while barrel after barrel was floated
down intending to ignite it and burn
the barge with all the inmates.
This terrible deed was attempted
several times, but the boats did not
burn and then the men became infur
iated and hurled dynamite bombs at
the vessels with great effect. The sit
uation of the detectives was such as to
appall the stoutest heart. The men
had been left cooped up in barges at
the mercy of the infuriated mob. The
tow boat had left them and they were
so encompassed by the maddened
army of strikers that no succor could
reach them. Three times they run up
a flag of truce but as many times it
was stricken down by bullers fired by
the strikers. Then it became evident
that the ammunition of the besieged
detectives was either exhausted or
they were too much worn out to con
tinue the fight, and for nearly two
hours before the end of the struggle
was reached not a shot was fired,
Through the efforts of the leading
officers of the Amalgamated Associa
tion the detectives were at last allowed
to surrender.
The most shocking deeds, however,
were committed while the prisoners
were being escorted though the street
by the escort of guards appointed by
the strikers. An angry mob lined the
street on both side3. As the men
passed by, each in charge of two de
puties, the mill men and their friends
kicked them and threw some of them
down. The detectives begged for
mercey. Some of them had pistol
shot wounds in their heads, and three
were seen that had their eyes shot out.
Several were shot in the shoulders,
arms and leg, and could scarcely limp
along. Blood was running in streams
down their shirt and they fairly yelled
with pain.
As the procession reached the
Amalgamated association building the
detectives had to remove their hats
and salute the flag.
After the prisoners had been removed
away from the batges the rioters had
their revenge. They carried oil into
the holds, poured it over the bedding
and furniture and then set it on fire,
first securing them so that they could
not float down the river and cause
damage at points below. When the
flames broke through the decks the
cheers which rent the air were deafen
ing a.d the noise could be heard
miles awav.
