ttwk presidential tickets ; or clse the
fcert men for president have a natural
tendency te evil conduct towards
women ; or else there is a great deal of
lying done by their political fees. It Is
pew thins te discharge this sort of
Musketry against presidential candi
dates and we are net at liberty te as
sane that all these we have had hereto
fore have been models of deportment
toward the ether sex,because their lniqul
ties were net discovered in their canvasses
It is said by theso who have no rever
ence for ancient sages, that they were as
wicked then as new ; ana it may be se.
Certainly statesmen et the present day
are a bard let, if our presidential cacdi
dates are a fair sample and their enemies
tell the truth.
It Is te be remembered, however, that
lying is the great accomplishment of the
present day, and that politicians ate
skilled professors of the art. The period
of the canvais istheir particular harvest
time, and in its last days they become
particularly audacleu?. Mr. St. Jehn,
the candidate of our temperance friends,
has been sailing alone swimmingly until
new, winning applause by the manliness
of hie efforts and the eloquence
et his addresses. He has been do de
scribed as the Bayaid of the field
But new we tire told by the New
Yerk Tribune, sustained by affidavits
that Mr. St. Jehn was a very bad man
In his youth, worse even than Cleveland
errBlalne, since he married a woman
and deserted her causelessly. Mr.
Cleveland was uever charged with
abusing a wife ; as he doubtless would
have been If he had ever had one. Mr.
Blaine is only accused of marrying his
wlfe twice under extraordinary pressure
of circumstances and a shotgun, and he
admits the marrlage and the clrcum
stances, without the Bheteun. But Mr
St. Jehn deserted and broke the heart of
a first wife, te enjoy the luxury of a
second, which was certainly bad in St.
Jehn, if true. But the first woman sub
mltted te be deserted, which tends
te show that there was cause for it, as
Mr. Jehn alleges ; nnd none of his sup
porters are likely te be weaned from him
by a story se very late in its appearance.
Its production new shows a great Jack
of sense in the Republican leaders. They
display their violent animosity te St.
Jehn, which will tend te unify his sup
porters and drive temperance Republl-
eans te his support through their sympa
thy with him in this base assault upon
him.
Slanderers Halted,
The tile slanders alleged against
Cleveland's private lire, which the
leweBt class of Republican journals have
been gloating ever, have become se dls
gusting as te -alienate even Republican
partisans. In defense et common
decency and the rights of an injured
candidate many prominent Republican
citizens of Albany, N. Y., have Issued a
card in which they deprecate the slan
derous attacks made en either of the
party candidates. They declare their
pnrpese te Inaugurate honorable meth
ods In the conduct of political cam
paigns. In their published card they
say : " We have lived in Albany ever
since Mr. Cleveland came here as gover
nor and we attach no importance te
these reports derogatory te his private
life, because we sincerely belleve that
they have no foundation in fact.
Governer Cleveland has led an ex
tremely laborious official llfe while in
this city, and se far as we knew his
private associations have been of
thoroughly geed repute."
This is a very important declaration,
seming as it does from the camp of
the enemy, who would feel
aaturally disposed te magnify any
f tha slightest 'faults of the
Democratic candidate. It Is a letter
of recommendation that cannot be suc
cessfully Impeached. Tho;e slanders,
raised en the eve of the campaign, will
drive Inte the Cleveland ranks thousands
et doubting Republicans who cannot
with self respect support Blaine. In the
long run, lle3 turn out te be the worst
kind at boomerangs.
Dees Ket Digest Well.
Mr. Blaine's dinner from Gould does
net digest well. There is a panie among
the Republicans at the probable result of
the affair. They tee that Mr. Gould Is
net the right sort of an entertainer of a
presidential candidate. His reputation
Is net geed, and It Is understood that be
has axes for a president te grind. He
has had one attorney placed en the
supreme bench, and there will be several
places for the next president te All. But
even though Gould has no particular
favor te ask et a president, It is apparent
that he is net a geed man te appear as a
candidate's supporter. There is a great
deal of defilement In his touch ,
net te Mr. Blaine, who has had
tee much of that pitch en him te be
hurt by it, but te his party, which cannot
Us anxious te be recognized as Gould's
party. Mr. Blaine had a day of enjoy
ment la New Yerk in receiving the
preachers' ovation and In eating Mr.
euld's dinner ; .but he will pay dearly
for his whistle in Iesiug the votes of the
Republicans who de net altogether hate
rum and Romanism or love Gould.
Tn New Yerk Sun, which has sailed
as Butler's organ, appears undlsguisedly
qs, rb Blaine's, in the breakdown of the
Butler boom. It carries Its partisanship
se far as te publish an alleged affidavit
of Maria Halpln, which has been pre.
nonennced a forgery. The Sun has been
very fead et parading Its fairness, and
s'artsd out In Its Blaine advocacy by
huubIqk te held the scales of justice
evenly In discussing the accusations
against felm ; but It has long abandoned
My such claim of impartiality and has
the meanest of Cleveland's detract
M ud the kait scrupulous of Blalne's
leuters,
A Geed Verdict.
The iurv in the case of Justice Frank
and Constable Struck, of Columbia, in
dicted for conspiracy te cheat nnd de
fraud the county of Lancaster, simply
did their duty en Thursday In returning
them guilty as Indicted. The custom
has been inaugurated in recent years in
this county et trumping up charges of
drunken and disorderly conduct against
persons without warrant of law, for the
purpose of swelling the fee bills of jus
tlcesand constables.
It has long been common rumor that
these extortions wero largely practiced
in Columbia and in this city, and the
county commissioners have felt called
upon en several .occasions te refuse pay
ment of items in these bills believed te
have been Improperly charged. In the
trials of Prank nnd Struck a very strong
case seems te have been made out. Net
only was it proved that the latter
arrested and put into jail a sober, peace peace peace
nole stranger, the owner et forty acres
of land, en the premise that he would
take him where he could get a cheap
night's lodging, but it wa3 also in evi
dence that the date of Justice Prank's
commitment of the prisoner did net
correspond with that given in the
bills te the county commissioners.
The latter discrepancy occurred in
numerous instances in the docket
of the justice. The defense rested en
the strictly legal ground thnt no con
spiracy had been proved. The action
of the jury will be very beneficial if It
makes wrong doing of this kind mere
perilous In the future.
"What has become of Benjamin l
Butler ? He has taken himself out of
ihe sight of men ; which shows that he
is net altogether foolish. He was vain
enough te think that there was the egg
of a boom in Butler, but the conceit was
taken out et him seme weeks before the
election. lie did net wait for November

When Governer Cleveland arrived
Thursday in New Uaven, Conn., the rain
bad fallen Heavily tnrougneut tue a ay. au
the arrangemenU for the day had been
completed, but they ended, after all, in
total cancellation. At 10 o'clock in the
morning all Idea of n parade had been
given up. At the Union depot, at 2
o'clock, crowds began te -pour in. At 8
o'clock evor 8,00 J persons surged in and
out of the depot, awaiting Governer
Cleveland's arrival. At 0 o'elook the train
rolled into the depot, there wai a unl
versal struggle for positions of advantage.
Seber and staid eitlcens ohcerod thorn
selves hearso in the mad rush. Outside,
ou the platforms, the crowd was praetl
cally beyond control, me entnusiasm
being se great. Inside, even the luneh
counters wero appropriated for standing
room ; and all the while fin army of hacks
tere down from the city's centre and
deposited fresh additions te the distin
guished vister's welcemers.
When the pollee had howed a pauage-
way, uovercor uieveiana aesoenuea irem
his train. Cheer alter cheer rolled through
the depot, and the struggle te get a sight
of the New Yerk statesman was renewed
by men wild with entbuslasm. The gov
ernor, with Colonel Lament and General
Farnsworth, of his staff, was followed te
his carrlage by ex-Governors Charles R.
logersell and James E. English, ox-Mayer
J. 0. Robertsen, Congressmen Charles L.
Mltohell, Alexander Troup and a scere of
ether prominent Democrats, and driven
Immediately te the New Haven bonse,
where supper was served.
nxTircsusTic itKCErneN;.
It was finally decided te held the recep
tion at tbe city hall. Here at 7 o'cleok
the corridors were filled with an audience
fueh as has been rarely seen iu New
Haven. Up the iron staircases the crowd
pressed. The oemmittco (n charge oeuld
hardly keep back the surging tide of en
thusiastie humanity. Iu a few moments
the familiar face of New Yerk's governor
was seen ou the staircase. - The cheers
which went up were deafening. Frem the
first fleer te the reef the cry of welcome
broke fertb again and again. The gov
ernor immpdiatety stepped in front of the
mayor's office. The crowds pressed forward
in tbe right corridor and were marshaled
ene by ene past the visitor. Seme et them
were allowed te press his hand, seme were
net. Se anxious was eaeh, man iu the
crowd te get a chance te greet the gover
nor that order oeuld net be enferced for
seme time, and it was only wben a squad
of police arrived that the handshaking was
made comparatively easy.
At 6:80 the terture ceased, and the
governor, his forehead covered with per
spiration, was dragged Inte the mayor's
office, and allowed te sit down. He com
plained of the strain te which he had been
subjeeted. "My arm," he said, with a
smile, "is stiff from this oerdial hand
shaking. I will certainly carry away with
me a geed opinion of New Haven's
strength. If you Democrats vete like
you shake hands, there can be no resisting
you."
Brief introductions followed. Mayer
Lwls doing the honors of his office.
When the city hall was comparatively
oleared tbe band, which had been playing
at frequent intervals, formed in front of
tbe building, and hundreds of citizens,
despite tbe rain and mud, formed into
an impromptu ejoert te attend Mr.
Cleveland en his way te tbe Bridgeport
train. It was absolutely Impossible for
Governer Cleveland te make tbe briefest
of speoehes during his visit te New Haven.
Alter tbe ebert supper at tne Hew Haven
bouse tbe guest had been driven imme
diately te the city hall. Frem tbe moment
he entered the building until his carriage
rolled away the volce of cheers repeated
and the elashlng of musle bands would
have prevented an address or respense te
the magnificent ovation which bad been
offered. Besides, the crowd that waited
patiently out in the rain for a possible
chance te shake bands with Governer
Cleveland must have been dlaappolnted
had SDeeehmaklng been Indulged in, and
the committee en arrangements bad wisely
foreseen this. .
Governer Cleveland returned te Bridge
pert from New Haven at abent 0 o'clock
and was at onee esoerted te the Atlantie
house by Chairman W. H. Barnnm, where
a rest et nearly an hour was taken, Net
withstanding the severe northeast storm, a
crowd of several hundred persons acoem
panied the governor te the hotel. A large
gathering hed assembled in Recreation
ball long before Governer Cleveland's
arrival In the city, and wai addressed by
local speakers. Shortly before 10 o'clock
Governer Cleveland and his companions
forced their way te the stage amid intense
enthusiasm, and Mr. Cleveland was
introduced by Bernard Keating, the
president of the meeting. Governer Oieve
land said :
OOVZRK0H CUEVSLASD SPEAKS,
I cannot forbear at snob, s time as this
te express tha pleasure I experience in
this sincere and heartfelt welcome that the
people of New Haven, Bridgeport and tbe
state of Conneetlout h.ve afforded me. If
this welcome was a tribute te me as an
Individual I oeuld only express my grati
tude ; but when I find I represent an Idea
that is the same with you as with me it is
with a sonse of solemn responsibility that
I stand before you. Cheers. The world
has net produced se grand a spectacle as a
nation of freeman determining its own
course. Iu that position yen stand te
night, f Applause. 1 At sueh a time a
leader stands in a solemn position, and the
plaudits of his hearers can only serve te
inorease the feeling of responsibility that
is, if he is a man trne te his country
and te tha best interests of her
people which pervades his thoughts.
Survey the Held of the coming
contest. Sea the forces drawn up in
array against you from a party strong in
numbers, flanked by a vast army of office
holders, long in power, rich In resources
both of meney and influence, but corrupt
te the core. Te-day they seek te control
tbe religious element of your country ;
te-morrow they will endeavor te gain the
lutercatef your millionaire magnates for
tbe purpose of raising money te carry en
their campaign. There should be no mis
take about this contest. It is an attempt
te break down the barrier between
the people of tha United States and
theso who rula them. The people
are bound down by a class of office
holders whose business it Is te make
money out of their positions. If you
were te go en forever oheoelng your rulers
from this class, what will be the end?
This la a question every one of yen can
answer for himself. Beoause it is the
party of the people thousands are flecking
te our standard, for they love their fellow
country men and their country mere than
they de their party. Let ns feel that the
people are the rulers of the nation, and
net te officeholders, whose sole ambition
aed purpose Is private gain. Applause.
Let us also feel that it the people give us
the power of government we held from
the people a sacred trust.
Obeer after cheer followed Mr. Olova Oleva
laud's speech, Tbe audience rose te their
feet in a body and bats were thrown into
the air. The galleries, which weie filled
with ladles, were a mass of waving
handkerchiefs, and it was felly ten minutes
before McSweeney, the Irish suipret, who
made the concluding spoceh of the even
jng could be introduced. After the meet
ing Governer Cleveland and party were
driven te the Atlantie hotel, and from there
te the depot, where he took a spools! train

Ithaca, K, Y., Issue an Address.
Tbe revelt against Blaine around Ithaca,
N. Y., shaped Itself Thursday in a long
address te voters, signed by men who bava
been lire-long Republicans. Included in
the list are the well known names of
Henry B. Lord, of the First national
bank; Rev. Rebert T. Jenes, Park Baptist
church ; Dr. Jehn Winslow, a leading
physician, and many ethor professors of
Cernell university, among the number
being sueh eminent writers as Moses Celt
Tyler, Herbert Tattle, William Gardner,
Hale and Jehn Henry Comstock. The
address has made a profound impression.
Following are the " points " against the
Plumed Knight :
irst. Tne evidenca or Mr. lilalne's own
letters shows him te be guilty, if net of
positive oerruption, at le.ist, ucder the
most chaiitable construction, of that fatal
form of pelitiixil Immorality which uses
the opportunities of public offieo for pri
vate gain.
Second. He has revealed during n long
career in service of tbe nation little genuine
sympathy with reform, tittle capaeity for
statesmanship and few qualities than theso
of an unscrupulous politician.
Third. The numerous prevarications and
falsehoods in which be has been detected,
show tnat be laeks tbat Intellectual integ
rity which is indispensible te a statesman
te whom a nation bas te confide interests
se great as these et tbe presidency.
r eurtn, Tbe cnaracter et men or nis
intimate associates justltks tbe g7est
alarm in regard te tne innuences by wbicn
in case of his election, bis policy and pub
lic conduct would be governed. .
Fifth. The lessen of his election for the
young men or tne country would be tbat a
smart and roeklcss demagegism is a
quality most eertaiu te be regarded by
tbe American people.
Sixth. His nomination was the triumph
of theso elements in tha party against
whleh its best men have long been strug
gling. His olcetlon would completo the
degradation and might lead even te tbe
destruction of the party.
The address oenoludes with four consid censid consid
atlens why the chelca of Cleveland is ne
cessary and called for by tbe best interests
of the oeuntry.

It is learned en what is bolievod te be
geed authority tbat the Rnpublican manu
facturers of Trenten, N. J., have notified
their empleyes that they must vete for
Blaine or suffer the consequence. This is
especially true of the potteries. One of
the boek-keepors in a leading pottery
stated that bis employer told him te-day
tbat u Uleveiand.wes elected be sbeuid
sell his restdenee, reduce hi j business ene
half, retrench all his expenses and dis
charge half of his workmen. Men in
most of tbe potteries state tbat their em
ployers have said they would close their
works if Cleveland was elected. It is bo be
lieved coercion will be used If necessary.
At the Hamilton rubber works thir
teen men, ail Democrats, have been dis
charged until after Tuesday next beoause
they attended Demoeratlo primaries last
Saturday and joined in a Democratic
parade. Tbe men were told they might
be cmplejcd again after electien, but it
was doubtful. While many of the work
men are indignant at tbe talk and treat
ment of tbelr employers, many of them
will probably accept the situation and vete
for Blaine. They really believe their
bread ana butter depends upon it. Steps
will be taken, however, by tba Democratic
managers te prevent coercion, it possible.
Four years age tbe same taetics were used
by the Republteans. A number of men in
Riebling'a mills were discharged beoause
they faveied Hancock and nearly every
pottery tbroatens te shut down in tbe
event of 'Hancock's election. The scare
worked well and is evidently te be re
peated new.

Te whemever It may coneern : We, the
undersigned, most earnestly desire the
eleotleu of Mr. Blaine and te that end we
welceme the employment of every honor
able ageney. But we condemn slanderous
attacks when used against the candidate of
our cboieo, in whose integrity we firmly
believe, and we equally denounce such
methods wben tbey are employed against
tbe candidate of the Demoeratlo party.
It has been brought te our attention tbat
in private letters allegations against the
purity of Governer Cleveland's Ufa in this
city are freely made. We have lived in
Albany ever slnce Mr. Cleveland came
here as governor and we attach no im
portance te these reports derogatory te bis
private life, because we sincerely believe
that they have no foundation in faet.
Governer Cleveland has led an extremely
laboreus official life wbile in this city, and
se far as we knew his private associations
have been of thoroughly geed repute. We
bear this testimony without reluctance,
for we believe tbat every gentleman en
both sides should stand up oeuragoously
and give the weight of bis influenee in
favor of honorable methods in the con

A Meedle In Iter Feet,
Miss Emma Marshall, the youngest
daughter of Ferdinand Marshall, of Lack
awack, near Ellenville, N. J., about two
months age ran n large necdle into her
feet while walking in her stocking feet.
All attempts te remove tbe needle proved
futile, and after several attempts had been
made by a local phyaieian but a small per
tien et tbe needle was taken away from
the feet, the thickest portion of it
remaining firmly embedded iu tbe
flesh, and the operations were
abandoned, fearing lockjaw might set
in if the feet was further operated
upon. The thlek part of the needle left
remaining in the feet caused tba girl at
times untold agony and her sufferings
wero almost unbearable up te Sunday last,
wnen sle was en a visit te bcr sister, Airs.
Kitty De Puy, at Rosendale. That lady
en closely examining her sister's feet,
discovered near the surfaea the long loosed
for needle, and toen extracted it with a
small pair of pincers. After it had hen
removed it was found that the needle had
corroded and was very black and discol
ored, evidently from the corrosive notion
It underwent while embedded in the flesh
of the young girl. Miss Marshall is new
free from pain and uses the diseased aud
affeoted member as naturally as ever, and
returned te her home at Laekawack the
first of the week very mueh relieved at
parting with se dangerous and painful an
agency.

Te-night will be Hallow E'en, and
superstitions maidens In different psrts of
tbe glebe, and especially In England, will
havu their matrimonial fate decided for
them by various tokens. In the British
isles royalty and arlstocraey will unbend
itBelf.
Tbe ceremonies of Hallow E'en are old,
and smack of tbe ludioreus te nineteenth
century minds, yet they will be gene
tbrengh with by many people even in
Philadelphia. One ceremony by whieh a
would-be bride settles the problem of
whether she will be proposed te before tbe
next Hallow E'en comes round is very
funny. The lady fills her mouth full of
water and runs helter-skelter along the
street for a epace of two blocks. If en the
way she swallows or ejects any of the
water, her chances are ever for at least
twelve months. Anether means of net
only solving the same question, but of
getting a ulimpse of an intended husband
or wire, is for the candidate te retire with
a looking glass into a eallar. At the hour
of midnight the person glares intently
into the mirror, and, j ust as tbe last strek
of 12 has died away, sees looking ever bis
or her shoulder the image of the intended
one.
A game mueh played en Hallow E'en is
diving for chestnuts and apples. The
nuts or fruits are plaeed in a tub et water,
and the players, with tbeir hands tied be
hind their backs, bob their heads nnder
the water and bring up what they can in
their mouths. Bometlmes long rows of
eandle ends, nuts and frnit are tied te a
string across tbe room. The players, who
are blindfolded, walk towards tbe string
and, without being allowed te make use of
their sense of touch, bite blindly at the
dangling prises. If they eatch a eandle
end they are compelled te 'eat it. Blind
man's buff and private theatricals are also
indulged In, together with fortune telling
and mesmerism.
