TZIXGXAJt TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Colt-mbus, October 19. The fighting has been fierce all along the line in Ohio the past week, and some decided changes, in the manner of conducting the campaign, at least, have occurred. The Halstead let ter in regard to the alleged ballot box forg ery had a depressing influence on the Re publicans of the State, and it has been with great difficulty that they rallied from the scare which they received. It was several days before the Republican leaders could muster an answer and explana tion of the situation, and they in reality had to go back and commence the campaign over. There is no doubting the effect and the advantage which the Halstead letter gave the Democrats in the campaign, though it hardly amounted to so much as was claimed for it by the Democratic com mittee. A PEEJIATTJEE CONCLTTSIOK. Chairman ifeal thought it virtually set tled the campaign and gave the victory to the Democrats. The Republican organiza tion, however, throughout the State has rallied and is doing excellent work and now they have no donbt that they will win. The usual large number of meetings are being held by both candidates. The campaign had grown to be personal to such an extent that many of the better Democrats and Re publicans became disgusted. Both sides were suffering from this character of warfare. Bach committee saw the effect, and have had the good judgment to bring the cam paign to a more elevated plane in the past few days. Special attention is being given to the appointments of Senator Sherman, and he is meeting with ovations every place he appears. Much time and expense are given to make his meetings prominent. Sherman will speak in Columbus next Fri day evening, and to-night 75 Vice Presi dents lor the meeting were selected. This will be the first and most important meeting of the campaign in this city. THTTB5IAX WILL SPEAK. The Democrats are in a measure trying to offset the good effect of the Sherman meet ings in the State. To do this they have se cured the consent of Judge Thurman to make a few speeches beginning next week when he will speak at Music Hall, Cincin nati, Thursday night. He will be escorted from Columbus by the numerous clubs and a private train will be used on the trip. The tone and dignity which is being thrown around the Sherman and Thurman meetings has led many Bepublicans and Democrats to remark that it would have been much better bad the campaign been conducted on this line all the way through. Governor For aker, though, has been used to a personal and pyrotechnic display, and never before has met any one as an opponent who was able to bother him as much as Mr. Camp bell has. Foraker could have won the fight easily in the State on the tariff issue alone, and all that has been outside of this has been gratuitous and without effect. A PERSONAL FIGHT. There is no doubting the fact that a strong fight is being made against Foraker person ally, some of which comes from his own party. The radical Republican opposition to him hope to secure his defeat and elect the balance of the Bepublican ticket. "While they will scratch the head of the ticket alone they will not vote for Camp bell, the object being to make the Governor feel his unpopularity. The Democrats, however, claim that the current is so strong against Foraker that it will aid them to the election of their entire ticket. They are confident in the extreme. Colonel Conger, Chairman of the.Bepub lican State Committee, said to-night that they had no desire to disguise the fact that they had been considerably disconcerted by the Halstead letter and that it had done them a great deal of harm, but he con sidered they were fortunate alone in it happening when it did, which has given them time to recover and go on with the work. V CONGEE CLAIMS YICTOBY. He had no doubt now that they would elect the entire ticket, as well as the Legis lature, but had the retraction of Halstead come st a late date in the campaign when they would have been unable to counteract its influence, the situation would have been critical. Colonel Conger realizes also that the prin cipal fight is being made on the head of the ticket, but he considers the Governor is in no danger of defeat. He expects that in the last week of the campaign there will be numerous roorbacks and misfit stories which will be started by tbevTemocrats for effect, j but they are ready to meet them, and he thinks the people have had too much ex perience in such matters to be influenced in this manner. Mr. Conger .thinks the registration in the cities will be in favor of the Bepublican ticket, as the Democratic Committee and speakers have been -frying to make the election boards unpopular to such an ex tent that they have created a prejudice in the minds of Democrats,many of whom will refuse to register Tand thus loose their votes. WT1EEE CAMPBELL MUST WIK. A prominent Bepublican who has just re turned from Cleveland and has inspected the registration books, in company with prom inent Democrats of that city, states if Gov ernor Foraker is defeated it will have to be done in the southern part of the State, as the full Bepublican vote is being registered in Cleveland, with a fallingpff on the part of the Democrats. The situation at Cincinnati is an enigma, and it will have a great deal to do with the final result of the election. Conservative men ot both parties just now consider the situation about a standoff and well informed sports on either side are offer ing no odds. LIVELY IN KEW JEESEY. The Decline In the Prohibition Tote Has Strengthened Bepublican Hopes Leon Abbett Will Han a Hard right A Letter of Acceptance. rEFECLU. TXLXGSAX TO TOE DISPATCH. I Tbenton, N. J.,October 19. The Jersey campaign is now at its height. Both parties have settled down to the hardest kind of work. There is no lack of energy any where. The Bepublicans seem to have taken a new grip and thrown off the lethargy that has been so common of late years. They are making fewer blunders than usual. With the exception of the unnecessary delay over General Grubb's letter of acceptance, the leaders have man aged the canvass admirably thus far. The State Committee was afraid'the letter would not straddle difficult questions cleverlv, and took to patching it up to suit all sections. Instead of the individual letter of the can didate for Governor, they were making a patch-work affair devoid of all personality. Grnbb is not much of a politician, bat he knew this was a mistake. So he took the matter in his own hands, and gave out the letter atAsbury Park on Monday night The State Committee intended to send the revised edition out a day or two later, and were at first alarmed and rather indignant. But the letter has taken so well that the leaders have changed their opinion and admit that General Grubb did the best thing after all. They think he blundered into doing a mighty clever thing. Not since the origin of the Prohibition party has it cut so small a figure in New Jersey as it is cutting this fall. It is hard to find any trace of third party activity. There is supposed to be a State Committee with headquarters somewhere, but it doesn't materialize. The Prohibition vote at the charter election in Newark showed the decline of the party. Two years ago the third party candidate for Mayor received 3,500 votes; last week he got 250. Fisk's 19,000 voters promise to dwindle down to 3,000 or 3,500. It is this breaking up of the Prohibition vote that gives the Bepublicans the most hope of winning next month. The thing is certain. No old Prohibition ists will vote for Leon Abbett,because of the latter's legal relations with the State Liquor Dealers' Association. It is not a sure thing that Abbett will win. If he does, his margin may be as unpleasantly narrow as Ludlow's was in 1880. A week from now, when the legislative nominations have been nearly completed, some figures as to the probable outcome of the election can be reasonably presented. Until then it is safe to say that the contest promises to be close, although the chances la vor- Abbett. APPEAL TO THE NATION. Mississippi Republicans Formally Withdraw Their State Ticket From the Field Not Allowed to Etch Con duct a Campaign. Jackson, Miss., October 19. The Be publican State Executive Committee met here to-day to consider the withdrawal of General James B. Chalmers from the head of the State ticket. Chalmers was not here, but it is understood that he wrote a letter to the committee declining to make the canvass for Governor. The committee issued the following: As Republicans of Mississippi we are com pelled to withdraw our State ticket. We knew that our votes would be stolen and oar voters driven from the polls, but we hoped in the larger towns and cities, at least, the sem blance of free speech might still remain to us, but oar candidates are not safelv allowed to discuss or protest. We desired especially to go before tbe whole people of the State and challenge the Democrats to a com- Earison of principles and records. Oar coarse as always been conservative. When tbe armed revolution of 1875, wrested tbe State from us, Mississippi was the only Southern State un burdened with a State debt. She has a Demo cratic one to-day. The Constitution of tho United States guarantees to eai,h State a re publican form of government. Mississippi is governed by a minority despotism, and we ap peal to our country for redress. Tbe Constitu tion that we adopted is the only one in the South so satisfactory that it has not been changed. Our laws stand substantially un changed and unrepealed, but we are Republi cans. This is our offense. That we are not actuated by cowardice in withdrawing from the contest Is shown by our past For 14 years ever since the infamous Mississippi plan was adopted our path has been marked by blood. Not only tbe well known leaders who bravely died at the bead of the column, but the faithful followers known only in tbe cabins of tbe lowly. We refer not only to sneb well-known slaugh ters as .Kemper and Copiah,' Clinton and Carrollton, Wahallak and Vicksburc:. Yazoo City and Leflore, but to the nameless killing by creek and bayou, on highway and byway. These are tbe Democratic arguments which crush us. We can do no more. We dare no longer carry our tattered and blood-stained Republican flag. We apnea! to the nation. Is national law and honor bat a delusion and a snareT When we rely upon the guaranties of the National Constitution do we but lean upon a broken reed? If so, announce the policy boldly and acquit us of further effort. BOIER THROUGH HANDSHAKING. The Republican Committee Will Now Take Up npndqnnrters at Philadelphia. -".FECIAL TELIGRAU TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Haebisbueo, October 19. The hand shaking feature of the Bepublican State campaign virtually ended in this city to night. Candidate Boyer and Chairman An drews arrived here to-night from Lebanon, where the Bepublican nominee for State Treasurer was called on by a large num ber of his political friends. To-night he received at the Lochiel Hotel, and in response to a demand from a number of supporters he made a brief speech, after having been introduced by District At torney Kunkel, thanking them for the com pliment tendered him by the presence of the crowd that had congregated in front of the hotel. Speaker Boyer took particular pains to say nothing ot a political' nature. Nearly every county in the State hasheen visited by Candidate Boyer and Chairman Andrews, and many thousands of people have shaken hands with the Bepublican standard bearer. The remaining time be tween this and the election will be mainly occupied by a canvass of Philadelphia by Speaker Boyer, who will make a number ot speeches in that city, as well as lend a hand in stirring np his friends to proper activity. Chairman Andrews will, after Monday, conduct the campaign from Phila delphia. Senator Delamater was also in the city to-night, and spent considerable time in consultation with the Bepublican State Chairman, Speaker Boyer and other promi nent Bepublicans. To-morrow the party will leave lor Philadelphia. IT IS HILL'S EIGHT. He Is the-Only Ulan Interested In tho New York Btato Election Flatt nnd tho Governor Straggling for the Next Legislature. New Yobk; October 19. The interest in the election in New York this fall centers upon one individual. Both parties have nominated State tickets, of course, but the only man of prominence interested in either ticket is Governor David B. Hill. The Be publicans nominated a strong ticket, with good men on it, but the offices to be filled are not of enough importance to make a hard fight for them. Governor Hill nominated the Democratic ticket against the protest of all the New York City delegates, who were voted down in the convention by delegates from tbe rural counties, which usually give 60,000 Republican majority. The offices to be elected are a Secretary of State, an Attor ney General, a State Treasurer, a Controller and a State Engineer. Nobody except the candidates, their personal friends and the Governor cares much about them. This mean's an unexciting canvas and a falling off in the vote. The real hard fight is over the Legisla ture. The State Senators to be elected this fall will vote for a successor to "William Maxwell Evarts, who has not as much pos sibility of succeeding himself as David B. Hill has to be the next President. Ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt is a candidate for United States Senator to succeed Evarts. He is trying to gobble up Senators; that is what prevents this campaign from being stupid. The Republican fighters want to get two- thirds of the Legislature, and pass bills over the Governor's veto. The Democratic fight is, first to prevent the Bepublicans from getting a two-thirds majority, and second, if possible, to secure a majorityof the State Senate, both to get votes for united States Senator a year hence and to confirm the Governor's nominations to State offices. The patronage at the disposal of the Gov ernor and the next Senate is greater than the patronage of the whole State ticket. Be publicans and Cleveland Democrats hold many and lucrative State offices. The terms of many of these officeholders have expired, and the Governor wants to fill them with men of his own choice. The voters of New York State will not turn out on election daV in large numbers to decide a fight in which Thomas C. Piatt and David B. Hill are the respective champions. THE COLD-WATEE MEN Aro ActiTe nt Philadelphia and Claim at Least 5,000 Totes There Not Quay's Fnnlt That More Fennsylrnnla Appointments HaveNot Been Itlnde. -SPECIAL TELIQBA1I TO THE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, October 19. In two weeks and three days the Stafe Treasurer to succeed" Captain Hart, will have been elected. The chairman and candidate of both the regular parties have made a tour of the State by counties, and little else remains to be done beyond making preparations to get ont the party vote. Chairman Andrews is expected to-day or to-morrow to report at State Committee headquarters, where it is ex pected he will remain until on the eve of .election, when he leaves for his home at Meadville to vote for Harry K. Boyer for Stafe Treasurer. The Bepublicans ex pect to elect Boyer by a very handsome majority, while the Democratic leaders maintain that they will poll a very heavy percentage ot their vote. The Prohibitionists, are stirring themselves, and judging by the attendance and speeches at tbe Academy of Music mass meeting on Thursday night they will poll a fair percentage of' the votes cast in this city for the amendment, one of the pro hibition leaders saying that they would poll at least 5,000 votes in this county. Speaking of the fearthat on account of the slowness of the President in announcing official changes in Pennsylvania that there would be but little interest taken at the coming election by tbe average party worker a leader yesterday said: It Is not Quav's fault that the appointments have not been made sooner, nor is it his fault that those who have been appointed of Mug wampish tendencies hare secured their places. Quay is an out-and-out Republican, and if he had his way in tbe matter the boys would be all right, -as be would name only thorough going men to fill the offices men who would give the workers the places they deserve. The boys know this, and you can bet they will do nothing to tie his hands. They will get the vote oat and trust to chances. Senators Quay and Cameron are both ex pected here on Monday from Washington, but the general impression is that they will remain but a few hours prior to leav ing for Norristown to attend the funeral of ex-Governor Hartranft.

There is a large gathering of prominent Bepnblicans at General Mahone's residence to-night. All the members of the Bepublican State Committee are also here. The object of this meeting is said to be to formulate some plan to protect the interest of the Bepublican party at the polls on elec tion day. At the conference the State Committee will consider the request of the colored supporters of John W. Langston, asking that he be formally invited to speak in the canvass for the Bepublican ticket. The session of the conference will be an all night one. The Bepublican Senatorial Convention held at Stony Creek, Sussex county, to-day, nominated J. C. Duane for the Senate, from the district composed of the counties of Denwiddie, Sussex and Greensville. Waverly Wyatt, (colored), of Greensville county, was nominated for the Legislature at Sussex.

The jury can not do otherwise. It will have to do the work for which ii was selected. CBT CABLE TO TBI DISPATCH. LOHDOK, October 19. Copyright. The so-called trial of Father McFadden and a score of Donegal peasants, some for the murder of Police Inspector Martin, others for conspiracy connected therewith, which commenced at Maryborough Wednesday, is still going on, and is likely to last another week or two. Dublin Castle has made up its mind that the prisoners shall be con victed, and has taken characteristic meas ures for gratifying its desire. The law, which always presses hardly npon political and agrarian prisoners in Ireland, has in this case been twisted and strained in a scandalous and shameless fashion. Catholie priests and peasants are being tried by a Protestant Tory jury, a)l the men known to be of their faith or sus pected of at least a taint of Nationalism or even of mild Liberalism having been ex cluded therefrom. MERELY JUDICIAL MTJEDKR. Should any of the prisoners be convicted by this packed jury, 99 Irishmen out of luO, and a majority of Englishmen, will regard it as attempted judicial murder, and an effort to carryout the sentence would inevit ably arouse a storm of indignation sufficient to overwhelm the Government audits base instruments. It is comforting, at any rate, to know that the proceedings in the little Court House at Maryborough are being chronicled by inde pendent and fearless observers, and that al ready some ot the dark and crooked methods of Dublin Castle lawyers have been dragged into the light of day. English members of Parliament are present in court to show their sympathy, and special correspondents have been sent tby several English newspa pers to note and describe the trial, which will figure in history as one of the most notable in Irish jurisprudence. 2IIGHX HAVE BEES' DIFPEEENT. Had the jury been fairly impaneled there would have been no doubt of tbe re sult, for the prisoners were arrested hap hazard, in the hope that some among them might prove to be the maddened men who stoned and struck the unfortunate officer. There is absolutely no evidence against them, save that supplied by the policemen whose versions of the affray which led up to Martin's death vary to an extraordinary de gree. As for Father McFadden and the others charged with aiding and abetting him, there is good reason, to believe that the war rant which Martin attempted to serve will be proved illegal; and the prisoners there fore justified in resisting or evading its exe cution, but even this packed Protestant Tory jury may, it is hoped, hesitate to con vict the prisoners in the face of the many important facts elicited from the crown witnesses in cross examination. CAUSE OP THE AFFRAY. It has been proved out of the mouths of the prosecuting policemen that the trouble commenced after the people saw their rev erend priest struck and wounded; that blood streaming down his face momentarily mad dened them; that Martin's behavior and demeanor were needlessly violent and insult ing; that Father McFadden repeatedly im plored his people to retire; that he entered his house upon the urgent entreaty of Ser geant Carey, and that it was after he had disappeared that Martin was struck down. Since Wednesday a peasant named Coll, one of the last men arrested, has been on trial for his life. The case against him per sonally rests upon the testimony of one con stable, who has repeatedly varied his story. Should Coll be convicted the other prisoners Will, SCARCELY ESCAPE, and the verdict of the jury is therefore awaited in Ireland with a universal anxiety which is positively painful in its intensity. The case for the crowu closed this afternoon, and Macdermott, one of the leading lawyers in Ireland forthwith opened the case for the defense in a four hours' speech, which will take high rank in the annals of foren sic oratory. The court has just adjourned until Monday, and, as there are many wit nesses to be called for tbe defease, the case can scarcely terminate before Wednesday. THE LOUISVILLE BRIDGE ASSURED. Secretary Proctor ApproTes modified Plans for Its Construction. rSnCIAL TELEOBAM TO TUX DISPATCH.! Washington, October 19. The Louis ville bridge matter is once more settled at the War Department, and will probably re main settled this time, if the representations ot the bridge company do not prove to be overdrawn. It will be remembered that some months ago the favorable report of the Board of Engineers in regard to the plans of the bridge company was approved by the Secretary of War, but met with a violent protest from Pittsburg coal men, members of Congress and others as to cause a recon sideration and the appointment of a new board. The bridge company to-day presented a modified plan, approved by the board, pro viding for a bridge, with only three piers with a span of 00 feet each, and upon their assurance that the plan is satisfactory to the Pittsburg Coal Exchange and to other shippers, Secretary "Proctor put upon the plan the seal of his approval.

Lena Wineberger, housekeeper of the Huff House for many years, was burned to death fast May. It was , not known at the time that she was possessed of more than a few dollars, but she left four trunks, which appeared to contain nothing more than a good supply ot woman's wearing apparel. These trnnks stood in the room ocenpied by Miss1 Wine berger two or three months, and were then removed to a storage garret. To-day a cousin of the woman turned up at Winona "and told a story of having heard Miss Wineberger state that she had plenty of money. Inquiry was made at the banks and in other quarters where funds would be likely to be placed, but no evidence was 'found which would indicate that she had leit money. The cousin suggested that the trunks be looked through for notes or other securities. The trunks were, therefore, brought out Ot their dark recess and opened. The cloth ing was carefully lifted out and searched, ba t no writing was fonnd except a dozen old letters, none of which contained refer ence to money. The searching party was just about giving up in despair when one of them raised the corner of one of the trnnks and let it drop. There was a sound of money rattling together. A hatchet was brought, and a hole made from which, gold in $10 and ?20 pieces poured in a stream. The other trunks were also found to con tain false bottoms and a deal of money. Besides the gold, there were bills of the de nominations of $100, $50, $20, etc., and at least $25 in the'old-fashioned fractional cur rency. On being counted up the hoard footed up $10,300 in gold and over $1,800 in bills. A NEW WAT JO OBTAIN READERS. Tho Poetess of Passion Restores a Blind man's Sight SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIBPATCn.l New Britain, Conn., October 19. Benjamin Winchester, 86 years old, of this city, has every reason to bless the day that Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox visited the New Britain Home. Several months ago Mrs. Wilcox made a short visit to this city and while here the was taken to the Home, as one of the show places of the to wn- Among the inmates was Mr. Winchester, who was totally blind. He attracted the attention of the poetess, and becoming interested in his case she felt ture that if he could be treated by some of New York's famous occulists his sight could be restored. Mr. Winchester finally consented to have the cataractawhich had grown over bis eyes removed by toe surgeon's knife, and he was sent to New York at Mrs. Wilcox's expense. The first operation proved only partially successful, but was enough to give the aged man considerable pleasure and to encour age the poet-philanthropist to try again. Four weeks ago Mr. Winchester went to New York afrain at Mrs. "Wilcox's expense, and submitted to another operation. Tuesday hi arrived home, and stepping from the traik he recognized people whom he had not seta before in. ten years. He walked off without aid, and in step and ap pearance he appeared to be only about 50 years old. He was dressed in a new suit of clothes, also given him bv Mrs. Wilcox.

Chicago, October IK A madman, clutching a long knife and uttering un earthly screams, this morning ran amuck near Nineteenth and State streets, and he narrowly escaped committing a mnrder. There was a jar going north on State street, 'and Ben Cunningham, the insane man, ap peared first on Butterfield street, where, it seems, he es aped from some house. He is a strong, tthletie colored man. Down Archer ave ue he came, yelling like an Apache on he warpath. With a bound he boarded thj car, and, drawing the knife, began to jbmp over the seats. In an in stant the car was deserted bythe occupants and the conductor was doing his best to dis arm the man. Ben kept np his howling and slashed at the seats as if they were human beings. Officers O'Shea and O'Brien sprung upon the car, and for ten minutes the officers bad a deadly struggle with the maniac, who seemed "to possess superhnman strength. Ben broke away once and it seemed as if no earthly power could save O'Brien's life. The knife was coming down directly toward his heart when, with a desperate effort, he seized the weapon. The madman was finally overpowered, but O'Brien was se verely cut about the fingers. The maniac is in a eell at the armory. He is shackled and he spends his time in shouting and trying to break his bonds. A CONDUCTOR'S BRAYfi ACT. When tho Train Was Wrecked He Looked Alter the Store. Kansas City, October 19. The passen gers who were injured in the wreck of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe near Dodge City, yesterday were brought here to-day. Mrs. Mary C. Dankler, of Lamar, Mo., was still uncouscions when she was taken from the train. She was removed to the company's hospital where the physicians entertain but little hope for her recovery. Miss Mary Lupton, ot Keokuk, Iowa, and F. B. Almen, of Elgin, 111., was taken to the Sisters' Hospital. They are both seri ously injured. Mr. Almen is an old man, and may not recover, Miss Lupton's injuries are not dangerous. The others were not badly enough hurt to prevent them con tinuing their journey. All the passengers speak in high praise of the conduct of Conductor Thornberg. He was in the second coach standing near tbe red-hot stove when the accident occurred. He held the stove in an upright position until tho fire was extinguished, burning his hands severely, but preventing the wreck from catching fire.

Baum, the new Commissioner of Pensions, proves to be as secretive in his conduct of the Pension Bureau as President Harrison. was of his intention to make the appointment, he will never be asked to re sign on account of an over-elastio jaw. The announcement this morning of the selection of Mr. Baum was the greatest surprise of the Harrison administration. Not a hint had been given of the consideration of Mr. Baum's name, except that in The Dis patch this morning, and that gentleman himself confesses that the first intimation given him of the intention of the President was on Wednesday evening, when he was sent for and asked if he would accept the place. " The secrecy maintained in the proceedings is thought to plainly indicate the fear of the President that the least suggestion of his intention wonfd call for A FLOOD 01? CEITICISM and objection sufficient to prevent the ap pointment; in other words, that Baum would be killed off by a meddlesome public, jnst as Warner, Merrill, Brown, Campbell and a host of other candidates were killed off almost as soon as their names were men tioned. The fact th at Mr. Baum hurried to the Department ol the Interior and took the oath of office even before his appointment was bulletined or known on the streets leads suspicious ones to the further inference that tbe President feared some mischief might come to his purpose sit any interval were permitted to elapse between: the an nouncement and the assumption of official duty. The appointment appears to be a popular one, if the expressions of members of Con gress, officeholders and others are accepted as sincere, Dut in Washington an expression of opinion from members of the partyin power in regard to the acts of the official representatives of the party are not always specially NOTABLE FOB IHEIB J'EANKNESS Some gt those given crat for publication are quite different from others offered for private delectation. These speak of Mr. Baum as having been engaged too indus triously, in lobbying- since!, his departure from the. office of Commissioner of Internal Bevenueand the statement that the first suggestion of his name was made to tbe Tresidentby Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, is accepted as corroborative evidence. But all this is very vague, and it does not even come from any authoritative source that the appointment was suggested by Mitchell. Furthermore, another assertion is that wholly on his own hook, and never having heard of Mitchell's suggestion, Secretary Busk ' urged Baum upon the President as a good appoint ment. Everyone who knows Mr. Busk knows that he would have no particular liking for a lobbyist, in the well-known in terpretation of that word. On the other hand, it is unanimously conceded that Gen eral Baum's conduct -of the office of the in ternal revenue was admirable, and it is ex pected he will handle the many divisions and boards, and agents and other employes of the Pension Bureau equally as well. EXPECTED TO BE EXCELLENT. None of those, even, who privately ex press opinions less complimentary than they might, in regard to the appointment, have any other prediction than that tbe office will surely be excellently administered by the new commissioner. Mr. Baum, while he has maintained his citizenship in Illinois, has Deen practically a constant resident of this city for more than 20 years. His law practice has been good, bnt not highly profitable." He lives in a very modest home on East Capitol street, has a very modest law office on F street and is al together one of the most quiet and unpre tentious ot the ex-officials who have made their homes here and kept their names before the public. EVIDENCE 03? MODESTT. It was characteristic of the General's modesty, therefore, for him to say, as he did to The Dispatch, correspondent, that he has nothing to say in regard to the past conduct of the bureau: that he would have no policy except to do his work quietly and faithfully, and that his work would be to see the office administered honestly, in strict accord with the laws. Generally speaking, the expressions of opinion of all public men who conld be seen to-day were so similar in tone as to make separate quotation quite unnecessary It was that the appointment conld not be improved" upon, and decidedly the best that could have been made from among all whose names were available. The following is a sketch of General Baum's career: WHO THE GENEBAL IS. General Baum was born InGolconda, BU De cember 3, 1829. He received a common school education, studied law. and was admitted to the bar In 1853. In 1856 he removed, with his family, to Kansas, and at once affiliated jrith the Free State party. Becoming obnoxious to the pro-slavery faction, he returned the follow ing year to Illinois, and settled at Harrlsburg. At the opening of tbe civil war he made his first speech as a "war" Democrat while be was attending court at Metropolis, 111. Subsequently he entered tho army as Major of tbe Fifty-sixth Illinois Regiment, and was promoted Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General. He was made Brigadier General of Volunteers on the loth of February, 1S65, which commission be reslcned on May 6. He served under General W. 8.

He was with General Grant at Vicksburg, and mi wounded at tbe battle of Missionary Bldge, In November, 1S63. During tbe Atlanta campaign be held tbe line of communication from Dalton to Acworth, and from Kingston to Borne. Ga. In October, 1864, he reinforced Besaca, Ga., and held It against General John B. Hood. In 1866 he obtained a charter for tbe Cairo and Vincennes Ballroad Company, and In securing Its construction he became its first vice president. He was then elected to Con gress and served from tbe 4th of March, 180, to March 3, 1869. In 1S70 he was Pre'ident ot tbe Illinois Republican Convention, and in the same Tear be was a delegate to tbe national convention of the narty In Cincinnati, He was appointed Commissioner of Internal Bevenue Augnst 2. 1878, and retained the office till May 81, 1883. During tbis period he collected KsO, 000,000 and disbursed t3O,00Q.G$O without loss. He wrote tbe reports of bis bureau for seven successive -fears. Be is also' tbe 'author of "The Existing Conflict Between Bepnbl SDEPBISED ALT-. OP THEM". Illinois Politicians Nerer Dreamed of Gen eral Raam'a Appointment. Chicago, October 19.- The announce ment of the selection of General Green B. Baum as Pension Commissioner was a great surprise to the politicians in Chicago, A reporter called this morning at the office of Senator Harwell, but fonnd the Senator absent, he "having gone to. South Bend to; meet tbe members of the .fan-American Congress. Colonel Abner Taylor, Colonel James Sexton and Senator Gibbs were found, however. All three expressed surprise, and said it was the first time they had heard his name mentioned in that connection. In fact, they had held the opinion that if anyone was to be appointed from Illinois it would be Gen eral James S. Martin, of Salem, as since the retirement of Corporal Tanner both of the Senators, several Congressmen and a large number of prominent Bepublicans had for warded a recommendation for his appoint" ment. Of General Baum it was said that he was eminently fitted for the position. Postmas ter Sexton said that there was no man better equiped for the place; that he was an or ganizer possessed of business ability, rare tact and a very wide acquaintance. ONE CffAME DEFEATED. A New Recnlatlon Concerning: the Com munion Toted Dawn In the Protestant Episcopal Conference Cleri cal sod Lay Dele sates Opposed. New Yobk, October 19. In the Protest ant Episcopal Convention to-day a resolu tion was taken up which was a great sur prise to the majority of the deputies, it hav ing passed the bishops bnt the evening pre ceding, and it was not believed that it would be acted upon before Monday at least. The change was in the communion service, and read thus: "There shall be no celebra tion of the Lord's Supper except there be some to commune with the priest' Dr. Huntingtorrat once took the floor and moveM that the House non-concur. "The proposed rubric is thoroughly pernicious, he said. "It is bringing in under the cloak of liturgical revision matters which shonld not come up before the House. It is pre-1 cisely in line with the doctrine of the Church of Borne and is proposed by those who are seeking to introduce the dogma; of the euchanst." Dr. Jibson, of New York, took issue with the speaker. He thought it one of the most desirable things that the Holy Communion should be restored to its primitive condition as the Christian passover. -The motion to non-concur was .lost. -Mr. Spanlding, of California, asked that the whole matter be postponed, qnd was voted down. Mr. Hall, of Massachusetts, protested against depriving a priest of his right to receive the sacrament when officiating in an isolated parish. The pro posed rubic was defeated by a clerical vote, a majority of the lay deputies being clearly in favor of adopting the change. The bal loting stoodr Clerical, ayes 23, nays 25. divided 1; lay, ayes 19, nays 13, divided 35. Tne announcement was made that the House of .Bishops had refused to concur with the lower house in the adoption of a short office for sundry occasions, which had twice passed the latter body. Dr, Hunting ton immediately moved for the appointment of a Committee of Conference, which was granted. The House of Bishops, also de cided not to concur in the proposed division of.Caiifornia, On the ground that" such di vision was opposed J)v the majority of eora- jnuhicants in-the diocese iteelfT and beeese there were not. suBscient reereea to w-. port such a division in a new meeeee. BEAD! M0HEI Iff BEMAUK - The New Tork World's Fair CommHtec Feels tho Need of Funds. rSPEWAI. TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH:.! New Yobk, October'19. A reauesthas been made to the members of the committee for the International Exposition of 1892-to contribute to a fund for the preliminary ex penses. The General Committee, at its meeting on October 10. passed a resolution offered by Mr. Flower to raise's fund of $200,000 tor preliminary expenses. So far the general expenses have been paid out of the check for $10,000 which the aurv gave to start with. There are plans and specifica tions to be prepared, offices to be hired, clerks to be paid, pamphlets and arguments to be printed. Then committees will have to go to Albany and Washington. All this requires money at once. The re quest to send their checks to this fund has been made of the committeemen only, as it was thought best to ask nothing of the gen eral public but subscriptions to a guarantee fund, to" which the committeemen also are, of course, expected to contribute.
