The " Citizens' " movement in New York city has collapsed under the Dem ocratic nomination of Mr. Edson for mayor add 4he Republican journals are very much disgusted thereat. The idea of the movement was to secure honest and capable municipal officers ; and when the Democrats made nominations of this character of course the bottom was knocked out of the movement. The merchants and men of wealth and re spectability, who proposed to put their energies and money into an effort to se cure good municipal officers, had no in ducement to this sacrifice when the Democrats nominated men who are acceptable to them, and conse quently they withdrew from the undertaking. The Republican partisans who went into it, having another motive for their action than the public good, are disapppointed at the failure of their scheme- Their main purpose was to de feat the Democracy and help their own party, and they proposed to use the re spectable, independent and wealthy cili zens to draw their chestnuts out 4 the fire for them. Their organs declare bit terly against the men who have with drawn themselves from the sew political associatiou and bavo no words hard enough for them ; they denounce them as traitors and rail at them as dolts. They declare that the fact that Mr. Edson is a very proper man for mayor has nothing at all to do with the question as to the '. propriety, , pft supporting him for the office ; that being settled' by the fact that he is the nominee of the Democratic party, out of which nothing good can tiora4.),ialin Kelly ( is hung up, in the ' usual manner as the, red Hag' to excite the antagonism of the people. It is un fortunate for this effort that Mr. Edson is the choice not only of ,Mr. Kelly and of Tammany Hall, but of all the Demo cratic organizations of the city ; and that, moveovcr, he is not a member of Mr. Kelly's particular organization. No doubt there are many people who have been so unobservant j the real merits of our public man as to have had their pi ejadlces uracil aroused against Joan Kelly ; and to such it might seem a 'strong argument against a candidate that Mr. Kelly supported him ; but this must lose all its force, among Demo crats at least, when the party in Xew "York city is unanimous in its support of Mr. Edson ; so that it would bo folly to ask a Democrat of the city to oppose its united party's candidate admitted to be fit for the place. The nomination of such a candidate necessarily brought all good Democrats to his support and, withdrawing them 'from the Citizens' movement, left it to (loat alone with its Republican crew. The situation much resembles that in Philadelphia, with the exception that there tho Citi zens' committee has been sometime established and is in good heart and funds and has had so far a successful though brief career. It finds itself in the present contest, however, shorn of a great part of its strength, because the Democratic party has a ticket in the field which it unitedly sustains, and the regular Republican candidates are none of them as objectionable to the public sentiment as those the committee has met in its previous battles, while some are quite acceptable to the party gener ally. The real fact is that the necessity for the committee's in terference in the election is not so conspicuously apparent as it has been heretofore, and it is likely to have this fact exhibited to its somewhat obtuse understanding in the vote cast for the particular candidate it has set up for sheriff. The moral taught will be that a Citi zens' movement is a very gooil thing when a Citizens' movement is needed ; and only then. Citizens who are bold and wise and rich enough to start a needed reform movement ought to be sufficiently sa gacious to retire grace fully when their interference i3 not called for ; but when they get wound up and going, and have had an opportunity to spread their feathers and plume them selves over their victorious onse:3, they do not seem to be iu a frame of mind to think that they may not always be a necessary and ornamental institution. Mk. Jat Gould, we are told, has signed the contract with Messrs. Cramp & Son, of Philadelphia, for that steam yacht 'which he has been advertised as intending to build for a voyage around the world. The vessel is to bo ready in the spring. "We hope Mr- Gould will go. We can spare Mr. Gould and the voyage will do him good. There is ample room for a great deal of good being done to Mr.. Gould. It migbt.be most speedily and effectively done in the' opinion of . many people by the sinking of the ship in which Mr. Gould voyages, but we do not think so. Mr. Gould serves a very useful purpose in tho world, if nothing else, in illustrating to the rising genera- tion that honesty is the best policy ; by which, of course, we do not mean to be understood that Mr.Gould is an honest man ; but rather that lie is quite the re verse, albeit very rich. Still, no judi cious person would care to exchango places with Mr. Gould, because he is not thought to be a nice man and is not highly esteemed. .No well brought up youth will -wish tolimitate his life. But we fear that the public health and Mr. Gould's health are not to be benefit ted "by his absence on-the sea. Mr. Gould lias a bad habit of saying just what he does,, not mean, and it he was really going away from us he certainly would not tell us of it. It is sad. but so. Sleepless vigilance on the part of the Democrats of every election district in the state; and the maintenance of the admirable organization that lias been es tablished to thefurthermost corners of the commonwealth, are proving too much for the Cameron manipulators, who under various guises have sought to entrap the unwary among their enemies' ranks or influence the venal who mas querade in Democratic garb to serve the purpose of the desperate machine bosses. From every quarter come words of good cheer. The ranks are closed upjor Pat tison, the villainies (ot the enemy have been exposed as swiftly' as they have been projectedand cunning schemes of betrayal have been blighted under the glare of honest light that has been turned upon them. Verily " the Demo crats are coming," and the rickety ma chine is tottering to its fall and will be crushed to atoms by the ballots of No vember. The grandest demonstration of Mr. Pattison's campaigning tour occurred at Erie last night when the people of that good city assembled by thousands to welcome the brave young re former to its gates, and in the eveuing packed the opera house to hear the words of wisdom thnt felllrofu his lips. The Democratic candidate seemed in spired by his surroundings, as the speech we elsewhere print amply testifies. Beaver says he is four pounds heavier than when he began the canvass of the state. Ho will need the additional strength ho claims to have gained to bear up under the crushing avalanche awaiting him in November. Sematok FiiYn, in his Pittsburgh speech ou Tuesday night, forgot to in veigh against tho Independent ticket and the naughty opponents of Cameron. Field Marshal Cooper's introduction of foreign talent on the Republican, stump does not appear to be all that his fancy painted it. Hl'hukms plow runs very smoothly, but it occasionally strikes a small ob struction. A Chinaman iu the Sau Fran cisco custom house responded to tho de mand fur 2 per cent, iu this fashion : " Mo no give- money backeo. Me care for no Hubbell. Bimeby mo go back to Chinee, llubboll ho go to helloo." ' " Tui: new Democratic daily which has been projooted for some time in Cincin nati will, it is announced, bo issued boforo the ond of November. It is to be called the Xcics, and is to bo on the order and about tho size of tht Now York' Sun. Gov. Underwood, of Kentucky, will have editorial chargo of it. Postmaster Pearson, of Now York, having learned that the hoads of depart ments iu tho postoffico had been requested to aid in collecting political assessments from the employes under them, yesterday issued a circular calling tho attention of theso officers to tho fact " that, by aidiug in tho collection of those funds they wore guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine and by discharge from the service of the United States." We are pleased to note the action of tho rival candidates for the Democratic sena torial nomination iu tho Adams-Cumberland district, who have agreed to submit their claims to au arbitrator whoso dicisiou shall be final. This is a wise and sensible deliverance from tho difficulty which tho Cameron henchmen were gleefully con templating iu the expectation of slipping their man Rosier in between tho contend ing Democratic factions. The united Democracy of the Cumberland valley are invinciblo, and with a binglo candidate upon whom to concentrate their strength thoy will snow tho Star Route nominee uudor to the inrrry tune of thousands. Messrs. Myers and Wagner aro to bo con. gratulated upon arriving at this paliiotic conclusion. Each has manifested a wil lingness to surrender his own claims for the good of the party, and however tho umpire shall decide the district is safe for the Democratic candidate. Mr. Cameron finds his grip gone and Mr. Bosler is no longer happy. ! FKRSONAL. Mme. PATTr has thirty-five servants in and about her Welsh castle. Mb. Harry Labouciiere, M.

Cataastasrfc DamoBttratloai at oil City, Tltusville and Corry a Remarkable Mcetine at Erie. Special Dispatch to the Times. The Democratic campaign tourists have taken a rapid gait. Tha close of the second week betrays no abatement in speed. Fortunately Chairman Henscl's plan docs not contemplate a protracted sea son of campaigning on this high pressure principal, for though cordial receptions and hopeful well wishes from sympathetic audiences at frequent intervals serve to give fresh strength,human fortitude would bo unequal to such a task long contiued. Constantly on tho go, irregular in the per iods of rest and meals, even so vigorous a party as that composing the Pattison party begins to show signs of weariness with each stop. The cheers of assembled crowds and the inspiring strains of martial music serve to throw off tho lethargy that weariness invokes, and though the candidate for gov ernor and his companions on the trip havo performed herculean service within the past two days tho ovation that greeted them at Erie, Wednesday night, drove olf every semblauco of distress and brought them before their magnificent audience without a sign that it had reocntly visited them. After the closo of the Clarion meeting tho party embarked on tho narrow guage road 'for Foxburg. The ride of two hours between those points, though Hpauniug midway the witching hour of midnight, was a singularly attractive one. Sur rounded by rugged hills and uncultivated plains tho train sped through a protracted town of oil derricks. Here and thero a gas well, sending forth a lurid fUmo of fire to a height of many foot gave the scenery a weird but not unattractivo as pect and served to reconcilo the travelers to tho comfortable coaches in which -they were conveyed. At half-past 1 o'clock their destination was reached and the special Pullman car which had been sent by another route was boarded, with tho purpose of retirement for the night. At 7 o'clock in the morningall were awakened Tho car had been moved to a point opposite Franklin and the party disembarked and, carriages haviug been t provided, adjourned to the Exchange hotel for breakfast. Refreshed and invigorated by n hearty moal, on re turning from the breakfast room tho party was met by H. B. Plumer, Democratic nomineo for Congress in tho district ; John Park, R. L. Cochran, ex-judge J. S. McCalmont, Rev. Mr. McCoy, C. Hey drick, Thomas McKco, Samuel Plumer, Colonel James S. Gates, Democratic can didate for Assembly, James Patterson. Cairman Hays of the county committee ; A. A. Plumer, J. B. Byers, Joseph Boll, C. M. Hoover, J. R. Nuley, Robert Lam berton and others. Soon after a delega tion from Oil City, including Capt. Wm. Hasson, Democratic nominee for Assem bly ; ex-Congressman James Sheakley, John Harr, William McNair and J. 11. Beers, put in an appcaranco, whilo Sena tor J. W. Lee, ex-Congressman Gillillan, S. B. Myers, aud other Republicans, Inde pendents and Regulars called to pay their respects to the candidates. Soon a brass band marched up in front of the hotel aud a crowd of several hundred assembled in response to musical invitation blown out through the brass horns, and tho speak ing began. Mr. Pattison was first introduced aud spoke in characteristic sentences in a con cise and forcible manner. Mr. Black fol lowed briefly. Senator Gordon spoke with the eloquence of an earnest orator and Senator Craig with tho forco of a practiced campaigner. General Snowdcu followed with a few historical thrusts worthy a military chieftain, Colonel Maish with vehement but well-directed blows at the enemy, and Chairman Ilonsol cleaned up tho field in tho masterly niaunor of a veteran field marshal, wiioput tho polis'i on a perfect work. Tho teachers' msli tute, which was in session at tho couit house, extended the candidates au invita tion to visit tho session, but time pressed and other fields wore waiting, so that the dear girls aud young men who teach the young idea how to shoot wcie put oft with thanks and regrets and the party drove to the railroad station to tako the train for Oil City, escorted by tho com mittee from that metropolis of oil. When the train arrived Judge Pearson Church, J. B. Brawley, M. Park Davis, George B. Tupor, chairman of the Crawford county Democratic committee ; L. Barr and W. T. Bole, all of Meadvillc, joined tho com pany. Only a few minutes were consumed in tho passage, and Oil City was reached for dinner. At tho Collius housa aa in formal reception was held, during which a great many people called and were intro duced to the candidates Subsequently, tbo crowd having passed to the street, rapidly increased calls were mado for Pat tison and ho responded briefly. Then the call went up for Black aud he hastily ap peared and won liberal applause. Then everybody went to the Oil Exchaugo and for a few minutes enjoyed the battle of the bulls and hears on a falling market, after which, accompanied by .a largo crowd, they returned to the station and ro embarked for Titusvilie, .where there wasau immense demonstration. The wide platform at the station was crowded with earnest Dsmoorats, among whom woro Frank B. Guthrie, Roger Sbciman, M. N. Allen, John L. McKinney, C. II. Warner, T. Lynch, Samuel Neill aud many others. Ex-Mayor Perrin, Colonel F. W. Ames and Other Independent Ro. publicans were present and a few Ste wards called to see the reform lion. A band struck up as the train stopped, and when the music had subsided Mr. Pattison was introduced. He wa followed by Mr. Black. Then tho band played again and the crowd cheered for tho candidates first and then for Ohio, and while they wcro still shouting and waving their hats tho train moved off. Frank Guthrie, M. N. Allen, Samuel Neil aud a few others re mained on board to escort the party to Corry, where a vast crowd mot the campaigners. S. L. Gilson. chair man of the Erie oouuty Democratic committee ; Benjamin Whitman, Charles Erhart, Goorgo A. Allen and John A. Becbc, a committee from Erio City, wcro among thoso assembled, and as soon as the train stopped entered tho car. En thusiastic cheering soon brought tho can didate for governor to tho platform, where no expressed his appreciation of their earnestness in the cause. Mr. Black again followed and General Gcorgo R. Snowdcu was forced to acknowledge the persistent calls for him. Chairman Henscl was ob duratd, however, apd though repeated do mauds were mado for a speech from him he husbanded his powers and refused to oome out. Meantime both the candidates mingled with the crowd on the platform, were introduced, talked freely and shook hand3 energetically with tho peoplo while the special coach was being transferred from the Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Western to the Philadelphia and Erie road. That accomplished, all re-embarked and tho journey to Erie was resumed. At Union city Mr. Hensel made a brief speech, to appease tbo urgent demands of the people, and barring that no incident interrupted the passage through Erio county to tho beautiful lake city. The mooting at Erie was ademo istn. tion of remarkable character and propor tions. On tho arrival of tho traiu there wero fully a thousand peoplo assembled at the station to welcome the distinguished visitors. A dosea can iages conveyed tho parky io mo uoiei anc a uana oi music tbo procession throuch the streets.

Gal braitb, president judge of the courts ; Joseph McCarter, mayor of the city, and Orange Noble, late candidate or the party for state treasurer. Wealthy citizens walked siJe by side with honest toilers at the forge and all vied with each other in manifesting interest in the canvass. Houses wcro deco rated, buildings illuminated and people alivo to the occasion. Few sueh meetings have over been held in tho city and, except in presidential campaigns, no such demon stration cau be recalled by any citizen. The meeting itself was no less characteris tic of a deep-seated and earnest deter mination to win. Seated upou the plat form were threo Democratic president judges Galbraith, of Erie, MoDermitt, of Mercer, and Church, of Crawford. Theso three distinguished jurists, called to high trusts in Republican counties, gave their presence to this ovent as a voluntary testimony of their interest in the cause. Besides them on tho platform were other citizens who have been honored in the past and are rich in the respect of their neighbors. All these things com bined to make this a great meeting. Mr. Paulson's Address. The meeting was organized by calliug John R. Bliss to tho. chair and naming a large number of secretaries. This accom plished, Mr. Pattison was introduced. Inspired by the auspicious surroundings he excelled himself and won the highest encomiums for his eloquent earnestness. " It is in times of prosperity and poaco" said Mr. Pattison, " when passion no lon ger exists aud leason asserts her domin ion, that men give the most careful aud intelligent consideration to questions of governmout. Such attention my journey has convinced mo tho peoplo aro now giv ing to their aflairs. This is my hopa in the present contest against tho arrogant power of tho bosses. A truly popular government must bo built up from tho people, must grow out of them, bo con trolled by them aud representative of them. Tho bosses reverse this rule and would havo the government built upou their will aud their pur noscs.Thcy claim the supremacyof masters and aie not content to occupy their legitimate position as public servants. This spirit must bo stamped out of our political system. Instead thereof thcro must be engraven into our institutions tho doctriue that a public officer should bo the exponent of tho pub lic will. Offices are not private propiity aud the revenue of tho people is not the revenue of tho individual controlling or disbursing it." Mr. Pattison referred at lougth to the Philadelphia reform meas ures aud the refusal of tha Lsgislatuio to act thereon aud then inado an exhaustive roviow ol the management or tlio state iiuauces. Upon this latter point ho said : " When, by a majority of over ouo hun dred thousand, tho peoplo adopted their new constitution, it was provided that the reserve fund of the stato necessary for the current expenses should be deposited aud secured as directed by law, and, moreover, that monthly statements of tho placo of deposit aud manner of security should bo mado public by advertisement. This wholesome and wise provision has, I am informed, hceu defiautly neglected and the information has not been given to the peoplo in the manner aud at tho times re quired by tho fundamental law. Tho provision of the constitution is necessary aud its enforcement would bo salutary. "Iu Philadelphia the necessity of such a law was felt and met by tho enautmont of au ordiuancs regulating deposits of publio money. Before tho passage of that ordi nanco tho. People's bank, of that city, a state institution, having a capital of only $130,000, was tho custodian of deposits averaging $300,000, and tiiis, too, when thcro wore other banks of a million and rnoio of capital and of tho soundest credit that had a mere nominal amount of pub !'; inonoy in their vaults. The patent aib sutdity aud plain injustico aud danger ol such a coudition of affairs caused the passage of tho law I havo referred to rcg ulatiug deposits. By this law tho amount of deposits among banks was propor tioned to their capita! aud by its operation the amount of money ou deposit in the People's bulk, tho favored institutions of tlio bosses, lias boon i educed to an averago of about $30,000. In Phila delphia, too, the law compels a weekly publication by the treasurer of the names of the various banks in which he deposits aud the amount in each. Wo liud the rule thoio safe aud wise. Why. let me ask, should not the finances of tho state be subjected to similar management ? Least of all, why should not the reasonable pro vision of tho constitution be obeyed aud the peoplo bo given monthly knowledge of where their money is kept and how it is secured ? It is more than likely if this mlu had been observed a deposit of many thousands would not have been lost by de posit in an uusafc banking institution iu the city of Eiie. Tho people demand that all the laws enacted for their benefit aud security shall be enforced. No public offi cer has a right to neglect or pats by any regulation written in tho statute book. Power of repeal exists with your repre sentatives in the Legislature aud thcio alouo. It is a misfeasance and unwar ranted assumption of power ou the part of aa official to disregard any statute. Let tha laws bo enforced in all their provi sions. Let tho seivantsof the public obey all tho behests of their masters, the peo plo, and then your government will bo in very deed, as in name, a jiovornmcnt; by tho people." Mr. Pattison was followed by Mr. Black in a happy speech, riud'Jolm R. Road then took the platform and discussed tho issues. Cuahnian Hensel wound up the proceed ings by an eloquent exhortation to activity on tlio part of tho Democrats and lor au hour he fastened tho attention of tho audi dience. It was uea: Iy 11 o'clock when tho meet ing broke up, yet for au hour a reception was held at tho Reed house and hundieds of pcisons called to give personal assurances of their work iu the cause. Taking it all iu all, this was a great meeting, ami tho Demo cratic heart of Erie city beats with hopo ful pulsation to-night. Tho party left for Warren, thence to Bradford, where anight meeting will be held, after which they will go to Carlislo and Harrisburg via Elmiia, N. Y. OUT ON KAIL. Tbo St Loulu Kftttor Keleaiietl. A warrant was issued from tho criminal court in St. Louis for Colonel- Cockcrill, charging murder iu tho second degree in shooting Colonel A. W. Slayback. Bonds iu $10,000 were furnished by Joseph B. MoCuIIagh, of tho Qlolc-Dcmocral, and George D. Capon, a well known insurance ageut, and the prisoner was released, to appear for examination on November 2. After the bond was accepted many promi nent citizens added their names to it. Colonel Cockcrill upon bciuir released went to his room at tho Lindell hotel, where ho received many callers. It is un derstood that ho leaves to-morrcw with Congressman Uurd to visit friends in Ohio. At a meeting in the Merchants' Ex change to consider measures for relief of the family of Colonel Slayback between $5,000 and $6,000 was subscribed in aid of lifting the mortgage of $12,000 on the family residence. Tho remainder, it is expected, will bo promptly raised. Among the persons present was John McCulIough, tho actor, aa old friend of Col.
