Candldato Campbell Arouses the Enthu siasm of Hancock County Democrats Thousands ot Men nnd Women Cbcer His Prophecy of Victory for Many Minute. (SPECIAL TELEOEJLM TO THE DISPATCH,! Fejdlay, O.. October 3L The Demo crats of Northwestern Ohio held the closing meeting of the campaign in this city this afternoon and to-night. It was the first really great meeting the Democracy have had in this part of the State, this year, and it was "a hummer" in every respect The speakers for the occasion represented the big men of the party in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, and as a result the gathering was a notable one in point of numbers, in en thusiasm, and in the character of the speeches. At the afternoon meeting, ex-United States Senator Joseph E. McDonald made the principal address to an immense crowd, which filled the wigwam. His remarks were largely directed to a discussion of the tariff question, but he devoted enough time to State affairs to say that he had partici pated in every Ohio Gubernatorial cam paign for years, and knew the people as well as those of his own State, but never be fore had he seen so many indications of A BEMOCEATIC TBIUaiPH as he had observed during the time he had spent in the present contest an utterance which was heartily applauded by his au dience. The meeting to-night was a monster, and filled the wigwam, a structure capable of ac commodating 6,000 people, to its utmost capacity. Of course, Hon. James E. Camp bell, the Democratic candidate for Governor, was the chief attraction, as he was the principal speaker. He was given a magnifi cent ovation when he entered the building. which continued for several minutes after he reached his place on the platform. Mr. Campbell acknowledged his thanks for, the reception in graceful terms and then said: I bring you tidings of creat joy, -as the next Governor of Ohio, news that should thrill every Democratic heart because it Is as trno as the prwnises-of Omnipotence tie-Democrats will carry Ohio next Tuesday, and not only dec? their candidate for Governor and all the State ticket, bat the majority of the General Assembly as well, and thus preserve unbroken the line ot Democratic United States Senators from Ohio, we "have xsept in th.at.body for the past 30 years. This announcement caused a remarkable exhibition of enthusiasm. The cheering was tremendous, and such as is rarely wit nessed in a political meeting. The vast audience rose to its feet as one man, and CHEEKED AND CHEEKED AGAIN, while women climbed upon chairs and frantically waved their handkerchiefs, seemingly as wild in their demonstrations as the men. The fire bands, present as bv a common impulse, swept into the inspirat ing strain of "The Campbells Are Comine," and then the crowd went mad with tumult uous applause, and it was at least five min utes before order- was restored and Mr. Campbell could proceed. The distinguished gentleman was visibly affected by this unexpected outburst of enthusiasm, and his voice trembled with emotion when he resumed his speech. "He began by "showing up" IForaker and his "non partisan boards, and held them up to ridi cule in many references which pleased his hearers. He also paid especial attention in Poraker's Baiiroad Commissioner, and cited several instances going to show how this official was kept in office because he knew too much ot how I"oraker had brought about his renomination for a third term to be thrown overboard, as he deserved to be. He closed by making an earnest plea for every Democrat to stand firm in line until the polls close on Tuesday night, and prom ising them, as a reward, the greatest triumph the party has won in Ohio since the war. The speech throughont was a telling one, and left the Democracy in such a fever of hope that great things maybe expected here as a result of this meeting:. The Rermbli- caus, who have imagined everything was going their way, were astounded at this gathering and the sanguine spirit of the Democracy. WAE TO THE KNIFE.

He then went to a barber shop and had his large mustache and luxuriant whiskers shaved off, in order to mislead the officers who would be on their track. He left the woman in the restaurant, and when he returned she was gone. The fact then dawned on him that he had been duped, and he informed the police. Officials for 100 miles around were tele graphed to, and this evening the woman was captured in Pottstown, where she has a sister, and brought to Reading. She laughed at Bitter's discomfiture, and called him a fool. His brother and father-in-law also arrived this evening, and there was quite a scene. Both were locked up. A SUCCESSFUL EAID.'

He says: "Ihejmportant question in thii case, which your board well understood, was whether a child born in America could be expatriated because his mother was a pauper, and it was referred, as yoa were aware, to the Secretary of the Treasury for his advice upon the subject The Secretary referred the question to the Solicitor for his opinion, and on the 16th instant the Solicitor transmitted his written opinion to the Secretary of the Treasury, to the effect that it was not the 'intention of Congress to sever the sacred ties existing between parent and child,' and that inas much as one of the children of Mrs. Wilkie had been born in this country, it was a citi zen of the United States, and conld not be sent out of its own country, for the reason that it was likely to become a public charge.

The institution expects to resume. Cashier Cresson, it is Eupposed, has joined the crooked cashiers' colony in Canada. IEPECTAL TELIORAM TO THE DISFATCO.1 Philadelphia, October 31. The not long since busy borough of Conshohocken, with its foundries, rolling mills, blast fur naces, silk factories and woolen mills, its tributary ore banks and limestone quarries, its canal and three lines of railroads, has beea hit Bome pretty hard blows within 12 months. The Plymouth Foundry closed and was sold out, the Bullock Woolen Mills stopped with the death of their owner; the recent death of J. B. Moorehead suspended the working of his big blast fur naces across the Schuylkill, and now the Tradesman's National Bank has closed its doors because of a defaulting cashier, who has, in the twinkling of an eye, as it were, disappeared from sight and knowledge. Jnst before the usual hour of opening to-day the .following placard, signed by four directors, was posted on the door of the bank: To -whom it may concern: This bank is closed in consequence of the de falcation of the cashier. The depositors will, suffer no loss, ALMOST A PANIC. The1 posting of this notice on the closed dooraof the bank at once created great ex citentent A crowd immediately began to gather on the wide sidewalk of the bank, increasing as the newsfldw like wildfire through the town, until the entire police fore, four in number, was railed out, and thir presence and the counsel of some wise heads restrained what about 11 o'clock threatened.to be an outbreak of violence. The depositors of thq bank number some 5J0, a majority of whose accounts are jnall, and these were necessarily, the most Concerned. But it was toward noon made cnown to the anxious and frightened people fhat the assets wonld more than pay the de positors, and that the only sufferers would be the stockholders. The defaulting cashier is William Henry Cresson. He was also vice president of the bank. Beside himself there were employed q teller, bookkeeper and messenger. The bank was started in 1882 with $100,000 paid up capital, and has since paid regular divi dends, averaging 5 per cent per annum. There appears to have been no suspicion of the cashier's stealings until this dis covery, the credit of which belongs entirely to Bobert E. James, of Easton, a United States national bank examiner, who on Wednesday of last week began an investi gation that has resulted in finding that I Uresson nas made away witn over lou.ouu -o- ha accjsre rtr Ti,Aianir unn i.nn: tnnnsriT".-! tion is insolvent by nearly tnat amount. Mr. James said that he found ou Wednes day morning last, shortly after he began his examination, that instead of there being $8,000 in the safe, as the cash settlement of the evening before exhibited, there was only $4,000, and he detected shortly after a substitution of the missing amount by Cresson, for wiich a messenger had bee'n sent to the Mont gomery National Bank, at Norristown. Upon an investigation of the books, lasting until Monday, Examiner James found false entries, false additions and false balances, and an apparent deficit of about $50,000, Cresson, meanwhile, remained in the bank, the business of which continued without in terruption. THE ETBST PEOOFS. No action was taken by the examiner un til Monday, when, after receiving a state ment of the bank's exchanges from the Na tional Bank of the Bepublic, its Philadel phia correspondent, which first gave him the means of arriving at a fair estimate of the amount of the embezzlement, he con sulted with United States District Attor ney Bead, acting upon whose advice he on Wednesday called the directors together and informed them of the insolvenoy of the bank and the embezzlement by the cashier. The latter was called before the board and was taxed with his rascality. He, however, made no admissions, and shortly before 3 o'clock P. if. left the bank and has not been seen since. Immediately after, Examiner James swore out a warrant for his arrest, before 'Squire Hayward, of Conshohocken. The warrant is now in the hands of the United States Deputy Marshal here, but there seems to be little doubt that Cresson has by this time joined the Canadian colony of crooked cashiers. MA BETED TOE MONET. Cashier William Henry Cresson is about 48 years of age, and a native of Consho hocken. He was a clerk in the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, of this city, until his marriage with a daughter of John Wood, President of the J. Wood & Brother Iron Works, by whom he has two children. It has been the com mon belief in ' Conshohocken that the Tradesman's Bank was started by the Woods to give Cresson a position. His salary as Vice President and cashier was $1,800 a year. He has been largely en gaged in buildings and was "an investor of considerable amount in the stock of the Conshohocken Gas and Electric Companies, of both of which he was President His habits are said to have been excellent, and, although it was known that he was living beyond his salary, his investments in stocks and real estate were believed to fur nish him with abundant means. He is a vestryman of Calvary Protestant Episcopal Church, and recently contributed $500 to its bnilding fund. OFFICERS Off THE BANE. The stock of the bank is almost entirely held by the directors, the principal owners being the Woods and J. A. Wood Lukens. The directors are John Wood, J. A Wood Lukens, John Wood, Jr., and George W. Wood, of Conshohocken; John A. Bichter, of Spring Mill; B. Brook Adams, of Upper Merlon; George Corson, Of Plymouth, and Dr. Lewis -Boyer and William B. Peechin, of Norristown. The cashier's bond for $20,000, signed by his father-in-law, John Wood, is good. The directors were in session yesterday discuss ing a plan of reorganization by the sub scription of $85,000, which' will put the bank on a sound footing, but no decision was arrived at" GOT INTO THE .BANK.

Jndge Knowles, counsel for Hall, of the Canvass ing Board, filed notice of appeal, and asked a stay of proceedings until the case could be brought before the Supreme Court Shortly after Knowles filed his notice of appeal, C.

Acting on this decision the County Board included the returns. A dispatch from Washington saysf It is expected that the proclamation by "Presi dent Harrison, admitting the two Dakotas into the Union as States, will be issued to morrow. The proclamation admitting Mon tana is delayed by the controversy in the Territorial courts over the counting of a portion of the vote, which prevents a cer tification of the result It is said that noth ing has yet been received at the White House indicating that an election was held in Washington, so that there is no informa tion on which to base a proclamation of Statehood. NOT READI TO BE ANNEXED. The Hawaiian Islands Wants to Retain a Separate Government. Chicago, October 31. Colonel Samuel Parker, of Honolulu, a member of King Kalakaua's military staff, said to-day in an interview here on his way home, after sev eral months' stay in this country and Eu rope, that he was able to authoritatively deny the stories that the Hawaiian Islands want to be annexed to this country. "They don't want to be annexed and this country don't want them," said Colonel Parker. "Why should the United States want our Islands? They control our trade now and we buy all our goods here with the exception of-a few things we can't get in America. The United States would not make anything by annexation. The rumor that our Government wanted to be annexed is without founda tion. The only ground for them thatl.know is that we are trying to obtain 'a treaty with this country similar to those We have now with England and France, guarantee ing our independence. We nave had ."treaties with England and France for near ly 40 years guaranteeing us perpetual rights as a nation; With this country we have only commercial treaties and we think if we can get the support of the United States with that of Great Britain iaa France we can remain undisturbed in ourrierhts." b j Colonel Parker ntcrecta protest against pthe reports of the Hawaiian monarch's in ability tor financial reasons to visit this country. "He can come whenever he wishes," said Colonel Parker: "and if he is not here be fore, he will be in Chicago to see the World's Exposition, I am certain." DOING A RUSHING BUSINESS. Gamblers Enjoying a Faying;, But Short lived Swins: la Montreal. I6PICIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Montreal, October 31. Montreal's gamblers and Montreal's gambling houses are doing a rushing business. In addition to the numerous small places there are no less than ten established places in the city where games are constantly going on, and some of them are very luxuriously fur nished. On Notre Dame street, the leading thoroughfare of the city, a few minutes' walk from the police station, is the most notorious resort One of the most startling features about the case is the fact that themajorityof the frequenters areyoung boys. The local "gamblers have recently been reinforced by a contingent from New York, and several places will shortly be opened for the convenience of swell gamblers. The police have decided to keep a watch on the fraternity, and an organized raid will, it is expected, shortly be made. A New Yor. man named Wm. Hudson to-day made complaint to the officials of a robbery committed upon him. He was in a down-town barroom when twomen asked him to lake a- drink. Hudson drained his glass, and in a few minutes lost conscious ness. When he came to his senses he found that $4,000, which he had in his possession were gone. RID OF HER OLD HAN.

Mrs. Sarah J. Hop Kins, a handsome woman of 24 summers, was granted a divorce from Thomas J. Hopkins, a wealthy mill owner of 73. The strangest part of the case is that the wife desires no alimony.

Ee Bull Thiols Bis PreroffaUTtt Slunla Be Daly Bespccted. Although notified that the subject of the Pittsburg postoffice would be on tap yester day in Washington, at headquarters, neither Senator Q nay nor Senator Cameron thought it necessary to go to the capital. Rep resentative Dalzell, however, did attend the conference, and, from the drift of his re marks later, it was eyident that he didn't secure what he went after. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBX.SISPATCB.l 'Washington, October 31. Neither Senator Q uay nor Senator Cameron paid any attention to the telegraphic notification sent in the one case, and that by messenger in the other, that the Pittsburg postoffice appointment would be taken up to-day. Senator Quay remained serenely in the comfortable privacy of his Beaver home, while Senator Cameron showed his utter disregard of the interest of Pitisburg by taking flight to Philadelphia last evening. Senator Quay is generally thought to hold to the opinion that the Pittsburg appoint ment was decided long ago, and tb.it noth ing remained but to fix on a time for a change, which could be done any good day. After all, it is said by the knowing ones, that it was a mere matter of form to send the notifications to the Senators and to Bep rensentative Dalzell, as both the President and the Postmaster General were decided in their minds to appoint McKean, and merely offered a chance for further discussion out of real regard for the able and amiable Pittsburg representative. A LITTLE to sat. Mr. Dalzell appeared to think he had something further to say. He arrived in the city only this morning, breakfasted at the Arlington, and as early as etiquette would permit called on the Postmaster General at his office. The only certain thing about this conference was thatit was very pleas ant Both gentlemen were so averse to dis closing anything that was said that it was like pulling eyeteeth to get a word on the subject from either. Both agreed that the meeting was pleasant, and laid so much stress on the adjective as to aroase a sus picion that other meetings had been less pleasant After Mr. Dalzell bade an affectionate goodby to the great Sunday school expert, he took his way in a bee line to he "White House, and was closeted half an hour with the President His interview was also re ported to have been extremely pleasant; but if it had any practical result the fact was locked up in mental repositories from which it dld-not escape to-day. It may be said, however,.that Mr. Dalzell did not look like a gentleman who had OOI jSXt. HE TTAITTED. He would hot-admit defeat, he would not predict success. He tried to look entirely neutral, but there was just the, least tinge of sadness in his expression, as one who is resigned to something that Is inevitable. When pressed for information he spoke with exceeding discretion, and this is word for word what he said: "I believe that action will be taken by the President before very long. What that action wilt be I cannot tell you, but what ever it is it will leave my opinion un changed to the effect that to ignore my rec ommendation of a postmaster will be an act of injustice to me and the people whom I represent It will be to ignore an estab lished usage on this subject which has ac corded to my Bepublican predecessors the courtesy of naming the postmaster at Pitts burg. No sufficient reason has ever been vouchsafed to me why I should be so treated. The only reason that I ever heard of was because Senator Quay wants for himself what he ought not to have, and that is no reason at all." no mobe to xeaen. , That was all, and neither from the White House nor the Postoffice Department could any more definite information be gained, simply because neither Mr. Harrises nor Mr. Wanamaker would talk on the subject at all. An official of the Postoffice Depart ment, who is well informed of all that has taken place in regard to the Pittsburg dis pute, was more communicative, after-stipulating for the concealment of his identity. "Mr. Wanamaker," said he, "has stood by Senator Quay all along, though he ad mits that precedent is opposed to the Sens tor's dictation of the appointment His reasons are several, bat the chief is the one that Quay should be considered on account of his position as Chairman of the National Committee, and the chief to whose manage ment Bepublican success is due. It is just as possible, also, that he feels under obli gations to the Senator because the latter acted so sweetly with regard to the appoint ment of Field. It is even asserted in some quarters that the two gentlemen made an agreement that the one shonld support the other's Pittsburg favor ite if the other should support that one's Philadelphia favoite. I don't know how that may be. Jt would seem to be GOING A IiIITIiE TOO I"AB for the Postmaster General and the Senator to combine to control the offices. It's not Quay's way, you know, and I can't -believe that my pious chief would teach him any bad tricks. "I have gathered from Department sonrees that the President frankly admits that the position of Congressman Dalzell is exactly right, and that he regrets exceedingly that he is impelled to accede to the wishes of the Postmaster General and Senator Quay. He thinks, like Mr. Wanamaker, that the rank of Senator Qnay in Pennsylvania en titles him to the obedience of the entire administration, and makes this a case superior to all preceWnt In my judgment, there is no doubt whatever of the appoint ment of McKean. The Senator inrists upon it not only because he represents all thathis antagonist Magee doesn't want, but because young Bichard Quay, the Senator's son and confidential man, is an old schoolmate aad ardent friend of McKean, "From all I can bear X really think that this is a case in which success will be MOEE DISASTEOUS THAN DEFEAT for Senator Quay. I gather a good deal of Pennsylvania politics from persons who, come to the department, and I would not be astonished if this and other disputes in which the Senator has borne an iron hand, eventually grew into an independent move ment almost as great as a former one, and sufficie&t' in volume to give tfce State and the legislature to the Deaioereiv. The next Legislature, as you well know,' ieots a United States Senator to succeed Csnaerea, and the following Iieisiature will electa successor to Quay. If the next one should be Democratic or &Bti-CjrHi, it will' be very'difficult to capture the aacoeading' one for Quay. I wppcee tlie.

He will come on for the Congressional session in about two weeks, and with his family will occudv the commodious Clarke mansion, on the corner of Fifteenth street end Massa chusetts avenue. In the heart of the ultra fashionable region, just half way on the avenue between Scott and Thomas circles. MS. JTEEAN IS5T NOTIFIED If There Has Beea Any Settlement of tho Dispated PostsaastersM. Mr. James S. McKean was visited at his home in Pittsburg last night, when the re port was received that the postmastershlp fight had been practically settled. He said that he had not heard any news during; the day, and was not disposed to think, that the matter had been decidsd. It was true, he said, that he received a telegram Wednesday evening informing him that the matter was to belaid before the President at soon yes terday, and asking if he had anything further to offer. He had nothing, and therefore did not go to Washington. He was satisfied 7ith the Indorsement which had been filed with the Postoffice Depart ment in his behalf. Similar notices that the matter would, be brought up yesterday had been sent to Senators Quay and Cam eron. It is understood that the reason Mr. Mc Kean did not accompany the Americus Club to Warren and Yoangstown yesterday was that he had a telegram from the Post master General requesting him to remain in town all day, within easy and immediate communication AWITJL TALE OF WOE.
