Copyrighted A man who stood in the strand before Charing Cross Railway station this after noon in the most pronounced attire of an English traveling swell struck me as pre senting a somewhat familiar appearance. His outer apparel was a fashionable suit of four-inch plaid, resembling the pattern of a horse blanket which should not have been w orn without a surcingle. His shirt was of broad blue and white stripes. His neck scarf was decorated with a huge pin. A large golden cable about his neck was attached to his watch, and he had rings of various gems on his fingers and white yacht ing shoes on his toes. He likewise wore a straw hat with a blue ribbon. Airald of Heine Assnsslnntcd. He proved to be lied Jim McDermott, who, since his testimony in dynamite cases, has been a wanderer on the face of the earth. He told me that he had received a letter from America a Jew days ago informing him that two men had been sent from .New York who were at present in London, their mission being to assassinate him and one of two others quoted. "But I am prepared for them," he said, and taking me into secluded recesses showed me a big seven-shooter that he car ried in his hip pocket, "This is the first time," he said, "that I have carried a weapon, but I am in fear r.f my life. Nevertheless, I have sent that letter to the Home Office, and have been to-day to Scotland Yard and lodged de scription of these two assassins, one of whom I knew. I am waiting cow for them to appear, and when they do they will cither kill me or go to a police station. If thev attack me I shall defend myself, and while I shall only use this revolver for self protection, if a bullet lodges in a vital part it will be their lookout and not mine." I.nbonclicro Wanted 10 See Him. McDermott went on tell me that during the summer.advcrtisements had appeared in many German and French papers in which Labouchere offered a reward of 00 to learn of his (McDermott's) whereabouts. He had answered this advertisement, he said, but auer several intervals with Labouchere had Jailed to discover what that gentleman wanted with him. He had also had inter views, he said, with Michael Davitt and on tt score he had a grievance. Davitt told me," said McDermott, "that I would give up certain documents that Mid I had in my possession that would ! Derate the dvnamite prisoners now in 'latham prison he would publish in his pa per next Tuesday a cireumstantial report of njv death that would rid me of the assassins who had been following me for years, and ihus allow me to end my life in peace. Dav itt said that these papers would doubtless incriminate Sir "William Harcourt and Lord Spencer, but that he did not care if they in criminated Gladstone himself. "What he wanted, he said, was to secure the Liberation or Hip Dynnmlte Prisoners, and in a letter to me he says that I put those men there and am keeping them there. His letter is distinctly a threatening one, but I have the Government and the police on my side, and I am going to see this thing through." I called upon Davitt, whom I found in the office of his newspaper, this evening. He laughed heartily when I told him of McDermott and the t.vo assassins. "Who would run any risk," said he, "for the sake of ridding the world of that poor carcass. However, there is a movement on foot for the liberation of some of the dyna mite prisoners. I have new documents to prove that dynamite was put into the bands 0 a Jot or poor, irresponsible, unintelligent 1 sh bv men in tlic employ of the enemy in New York, Cork and Glasgow for the sole j jroose of getting money ont of the secret service fund. The Home Secretary has promised to look into the case early this Jah, and I confidently expect the liberation ot many of these dynamite prisoners. Two Sides of tiie Qucation. However dastardly the crime may be of any man who wilfully uses dynamite for destruction of his fellow men, it is less than that of the Government agents who decoy underwitted and ignorant men into such a crime. As for Jim McDermott, he has been outwitted, clever scoundrel as he is, and when the time comes I shall have something to say about him. I know all about him, where be has been, what he has been doing and where his money comes from. He likes to believe that his movements are enveloped in mystery, and that he is certainly fol lowed by hidden foes. "Why, I haTe known where he has been in London and the vi cinity for the last three months, hnt his miserable carcass is not worth a moment's thought. As for the papers compromising Sir William Harcourt or Earl Spencer, that is ridiculous. When I tell what I know about the men who duped the poor fellows who are now in Chatham Prison there will be some interesting disclosures. Until the time is ripe, however, I shall have nothing further to say. I cannot prejudice our cause by putting it out too soon." AGAINST THE GALLOWS. A NEW CRUSADE OPPOSING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Royalty rim nt Lnt Taken an Interest In tbo Movement The Emperor of Am. irln's Tear Blot Out a felcnatnre to a Dcaili Wnrrnnl. rBT DCKLAP'B CABLE COMPANT.3 London, September 13. The question of capital punishment is once more coming to the front Jurists and philanthropists have talked against the death penalty without effect, but now the voice of royalty, which often produces greater effects than the trumpet tongue of humanity crying for re dress or help, has come to the aid of those who would abolish the legalized form of murder. The new advocate in this cause is Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, and his crusade has taken an eminently practical lorm. One day last week he was called upon to sign the death warrant of a man who had been sentenced to undenro the extreme nen- alty for a murder committed in the heat oi passion. The warrant was placed on the writing table and he moved to it with a deep sigh. He was visibly affected as he sat on his chair, and when he took up the pen his hand shook under the influence of his emotion. He leaned back for a moment to compose himself, and again dipped the pen and commenced to write his name. But as he wrote the first two or three letters his tears began to fall on the paper and blotted them. He put down the pen and turning to the minister who was waiting for the document said in a broken voice,"See, my tears ob literate my name. I cannot sign the death warrant of a fellow creature," and he imme diately tore the paper into pieces. The ad vocates of the abolition of capital punish ment are greatly impressed by this imperial act, and declare that if the Emperor of Germany and the Queen of England would only lend the weight of their authority to the example set by their royal brother, the cause would triumph and the pleadings of great humanity would at length be heard.

The members ot the Limerick Temperance Society, which, on espousing the cause of John Dillon, was deprived by Bishop O'Dwyer of the ser vices of the parochiai clergy, have since been attending the Church of the Francis cans. In view of this fact, the Bishop yes terday summoned the Prior of the order to appear belore him and warned him that be would withdraw certain privileges enjoyed by the Franciscans if they persisted in usurping the functions of the parochial clergy. A prolonged altercation followed this an nouncement, which finally resulted in a compromise by which the-whole matter will be referred to the Provincial the order, the Prior undertaking that Franciscans should not in the meantime perform the disputed duties, and pledging himself to see that the members of the society refrained from attending the services.

England' Next Monarch Endeavorlns to Teach tbo Aristocracy a r.eson He Believes That There Are Only Two Classes, Royalty nnd the People. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. Jv London, September 13. The incident that has caused the most discussion in tb,e polite society of Europe this summer has been the partiality manifested by the Prince of Wales for Baron Hirscb, the wealthy Moravian Hebrew, who has been one of the features of the London season. Hirsch has a fine castle and great estates in .Moravia, and besides made a great fortune in extending th,e rail road systems of Austria and Turkey which he has since largely augmented by extensive speculations on the various con tinental bourses. He is lavish with his money, entertains magnificently, and is a man of education and accomplishments. He made his way to the friendship of the Prince with care and skill, taking great pains to pave the wav to an acquaintance with the heir to. the English throne by paying court to the friends of the royal gentlemen he met in France and Germany, notably Lady De Grey and Lord Bandolph Churchill. Early in the recent season he made bis debut in London society and at once became a great favorite with the Prince, and what is known here as "the Prince's set" Strangely enough, or perhaps not quite so strangely, the only friends of the Prince who seemed to resent the introduction of the Baron into this sacred circle were the Roths childs, his co-religionists. The Prince of Wales did not mind this however, and at all the exalted social functions where the En glish and likewise the American fashion ables exerted themselves most to shine, was always Baron Hirsch, the favorite courtier and confidential friend of the greatest among them. The Rothschild faction raged, and polite society wondered, and yet the friend ship of the Baron and the Prince increased, and, indeed, strange as it may seem, Baron Hirsch, by reason of the Prince's partiality, more than once was on the verge of becom ing a diplomatic difficulty. For instance, at the recent ball given by the Duchess of Buccleugh, Baron Hirsch danced opposite the Prince in the quadrille d'honneur with the royal party, having the Princess Maud as his partner, precedence being given him over Count Deyni, the Austrian Ambassa dor and his wife. As at the Austrian court Hebrews are ab solutely prohibited, the only exception be ing two ladies of the Rothschild family, who are received on sufferance, the insult to Count Deym was so great that that outraged noble was with difficulty prevented from resigning his office. The consternation was even greater, however, when it was rumored a week or two ago that the Prince of Wales had accepted an invitation to a shooting party to oe given by Hirsch, on his estates in Moravia, to which various German and Austrian noblemen were to be invited. To decline Hirsch's Invitation to meet the Prince would be toinsult the royal guest, not the host, and the Austrian nobility was in a ferment The affair resulted in a quiet intimation from the Emperors of Germany and Austria to the Prince ot Wales that for him to accept Baron Hirsch's invitation would be a political mistake which hint the royal Englishman took. To those who do not understand the Prince of Wales point of view, his code of social ethics is difficult of comprehension. There is, to tell the truth, no more through stickler for royal etiquette than Albert Edward. In this respect be is as thouroughly German as Prince Albert, his father but, like Prince Albert the Prince ot Wales considers .that there are bnt two social ranks, royalty and the people, and he is said to have declared hit intention to democratize the'British people, so that they may realize that below royalty they are all on a common level. A DETERMINED SUICIDE. Oa the Third Trial lie Succeeds In Ending HI. I.!l. rBY CABLE TO THE DI8PATCH.1 LoNDON.September 13. William Judge, a starving young laborer, who could not find work, has been trying hard lor a week past to get out of this world, evidently under the impression that he could not get into a worse one. But his efforts have been impeded by the police. A few days ago Jndge jumped from the London bridge, and was rescued from drowning by an unsym pathetic lighterman. The next day Judge tried it again from the embank ment when the tide was high, and going under the customary three times considered that he bad accomplished his purpose. He was much annoyed au hour later to be brought back to life in a hospital, a policeman having retrieved the body and taken it ashore, where three physicians carefully undid the work Judge had per formed. He was now placed in a cell in Holloway prison, and the chaplain sent for. Judge was determined to die, however. He got into bed and took with him a hand-ba3in containging about three pints of water that had been given him.to was his hands. He put his face into the water, pulled a blanket over his head and died permanently before the chaplain arrived. The Warden, who passed the cell at regular in tervals, saw that the prisoner was in bed, and had no idea that be was dead until he tried to waken him to receive the priestly comforter. FJTGLAHD'S CHOLERA SCARE Remit! In the Prohibition of the Importation cf Spanish Itnci. tBT DUJTLAT'S CABLE COMPAHT.l London, September 13. The cholera scare has resulted in the fact that the im portation of rags from Spain has been pro hibited. The Lancet to-day, in an article referring to this fact, says: Rags must be regarded as capable of carry leg infection. They do it again and again in the case of smallpox, typhus, diphtheria and enteric fever. Instances have been recorded when local outbreaks of cholera have been at tributed to the same cause. In regard to the degree of risk from such sources smallpox and typhus take precedence, and cholera would probably be best placed at the other extreme of the scale. At the same time real risk is ruu on clothing, especially the line of clothing used by cholera patients. BANDITTI IN SICILY.

Yesterday in the Senate was set apart for speeches in honor of Samuel J. Ran dall. Senator Quay unexpectedly deliv ered a carefully-prepared eulogy ot the de ceased Pennsylvania statesman. He par ticularly referred to his obstinate fight against the original force bill. IFEOJI A 6TATF COBRESrOSDEXT. Washington, September 13. For the first time since his occupancy of a seat in the Senate Mr. Quay to-day delivered a speech. It was a eulogy of the late Repre sentative Randall, and it is highly compli mented by those who heard it as a remark ably well-written oration. The Senator read from manuscript. As he began soon alter 12 o'clock there were not many Sena tors in the chamber at the time, but when they heard that Senator Quay had the ..floor they flocked in until nearly all of those wno are in the city were present They listened with deep attention, pos sibly ont of curiosity to know what the silent man would have to say. Senator Ed mund who sits almost directly in front of Senator Quay, turned in his chair and lis tened intently throughout the whole of the address. The Democratic side were appar ently as deeply interested as the Republican as they remained in their seats to the end. SOMETHING OP A SUCCESS. The Senator read in a very clear, but not loud tone, and was heard distinctly in every part of the chamber. It was a general re mark among the Senators after the address that it was strange that one who could write so well was not anxious to make himself heard more frequently. In speaking of Mr. Randall Senator Quay said: He was the soul of bis party in Pennsylvania, and his passing was lice the passing of bis party in that State. AU his days he was the leader of a forlorn hope. Yet It was decreed that after his life had put on its funeral shade he was first to encounter the experience which is not uncommon to public men of independent thought In the collision of principle within the lines of his own party, he differed with its prevailing sentiment, and was abandoned unto himself. He saw those whom he created turn, like the creature of Frankenstein, to be his tor ture, and the friends of a lifetime fell away from him as leaves fall from the dying oak. "let he swerved not from 1)13 path, and faltered not in bis devotion to his faitb. The Senator continued with an elaborate biography of Mr. Randall, the following paragraph of which touches upon a remark able episode in the career of the dead leader: A BEMABKABLE EPISODE. It was not until the Forty:second and Forty third Congresses that Mr. Randall achieved extended national reputation. The Repub licans were largely In the majority, but Mr. Randall served on the committees on hankie,: and currency, postofflce ana pos roads, and rules. The majority, in order to carry out thou programme ot legislation, had adopted rules intended to prevenfobstrnction, had en forced strict caucus coutrol of votes, and had determined to push to enactment the measure then known as tne force bill. Mr. Blaine was the Speaker of tho House, and, knowing tho ability of the presiding officer and the changes lu tho rules, Sir. Randall led the minority with snch parlia mentary skill as to effectually block the way of the Republican majority. In a session of the House lasting 46 hours and 25 minutes, the roll was called 75 times, and finally an adjournment was reached, 19 Republicans voting with the Democrats. Many members were prostrated by tho prolonged strueele. but at its close Mr. Randall was apparently as fresh as when the House had been called to order. During the contest that ensued over the civil rights Iblll, Mr. Randall led the minority with dash and dignity. During the debates on this measnre, and the efforts to suspend the rules to secure its passage, which were finally successful by a vote of 181 to 90, the language used In the debate was otten violent, hut Mr. Randall's conanct was marred by no intemper ate outburst The battle upon the force bill followed, and under Mr. Randall's leadership the Democrats succeeded in so delaying the passage of tho bill that it reached the Senate too late for action before adjournment. Dur ing this strueglfc Mr. Randall remained upon the floor for 72 hours, alternately demanding a call of the House on the question of no quo rum, and on motions to excuse members from voting. A STEIKING TEIBDTE. Although the bill passed, 33 Republicans voted with tho Democrats, In spite of the caucus action certainly a striking tribute to Mr. Randall's efficiency as a parliamentary ob structionist and to his ability as a leader in carrying disorganization Into tho ranks of the majority. Such was the private and public career of one who wrought better for the coun try than for himself, and better perhaps than others whose names will more luminously il lustrate the pages of its history. The life of toil and struggle and patriotism terminated in suffering. When before bis final day his doom was read to hlu), he turned his face to the shining beacon on the farther side of the dark river, and, with faith unfalterinc as his courage, he went down into the deep waters. When the committee of this body which followed his re mains to the grave met thosewho had gathered around its opening to look their last upon his face, they must have recognized the fact that thousands there assemblsd were the working people of his city, and that this was indeed a great commoner. There was a want of display and of votive offerings, bat in their, stead were the bowed beads and softened hearts of a mul titude of common people. These were his associates, his friends, his supporters and the beneficiaries of the sacri fices of his life of duty. Others may appear in his stead to assume the robes which have fallen from him and may fittingly fulfill their office, but none, I think, will ever arise to exactly till, for positive courage, unselfishness, patriotism and devotion to duty, the great chasm left In Pennsylvania by this man's deatb.

They have been in Europe with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Two of them, Charging Crow and Kills-Two-Men, took part in the recent riot at Bremen, in which two cow boys lost their lives. They arrived yester day on the steamship Saale from Ham burg. Buffalo Bill wrote to Colonel O'Beirne some time ago telling him that the Indians were coming, and asking him to take care of them, as they had considerable money and valuable baggage. The story that Charging Crow and Kills-Two-Men had 5500 in their possession reached the ears of a gang ot card sharpers in Jersey City. Soon after the Indians reached the barge office they succeeded in gaining the street, and almost the first per son they met was a well-dressed man, who re presented himself as an agent of Colonel Cody, who had been sent to take care of them. He had a companion, and the simple-minded savages readily accompanied the strangers to Jersey City. When a game of poker was proposed the four In dians consented to take part When $400 had passed into the pockets of the savages the alleired acent of Colonel. Codv opened a jack pot on three aces. He held the other one in his palm, and the chances of getting his money back were as rosy as the morning sun.

A proposition, which met with the unani mous approval of those present, including the Secretary of the Treasury, was to sus pend the payment of customs duties from November 1 to February 1, Secretarv Windom said he believed the present difficulty in the money market to be one that extended all over the country and was not confined to Wall street or even New York. He said it would require a great deal of careful consideration to settle upon the best method ot relieving the stringency, and for that reason nothing would be done hastily. In regard to the scare, which is based upon the belief that a large amount of money, according to many more than ?50, 000,000, will be required immediately to take eoods out of bond in case the McKin ley bill goes into effect October 1, Assistant Treasurer Roberts says: , OPINION TBOM BOBEETS. "It might be suggested, in the first place, that this amount is overstated, for the Cus tom Honse authorities have estimated that the amount of duty payable on goods now in bond does not amount to more than S10,- 000,000. In the second place, if these goods are withdrawn in large amounts and thrown upon thejnarket, it will have a tendency to check imports, so that the amounts of revenue received will be diminished. At any rate, it should not increase the stringency. "I do not know what the Secretary of the Treasury proposes to do. It would be wise, however, in my opinion, for Congress to ex tend the time within which the goods now in bond could be withdrawn, or the Con ference Committee might decide upon some such course. This would tend to relieve the market; but in any aspect of the case I do not think there is any serious ground for alarm." BELIEF PEOJI THE TREASURY. S. V. White went to Washington last night and has been in conference with mem bers of the Senate Finance and the House Ways and Means Committees. He says: "There is no doubt whatever that the time for withdrawal of goods from bond will be extended. The Treasury is doing every thing possible for the relief of the money market, and will continue to afford all the relief which may be found necessary." Shipments of currency have been heavier this week than in any previous one this sea son. Nearly all the currency shipped went West and South. There has been a heavy outward movement of gold, 500,000 going to San Francisco. Secretary of the Treasury Windom made the following statement to-night regarding the amount of money tied up in the Treas ury. He said: FALSE CONCLUSIONS. "Comparisons have recently been made of the surplus, as it is now reported in the Treasury, with the amount reported a year ago, from which the erroneous conclusion is drawn that the present administration has pursued a policy tending toward contrac tion. In this connection the following au thoritative statement will show the fallacy ol this belief: The amount of net cash, fractional silverand national bank redemption fund in the Treasury on September 1, 1889, was anout 5141,000,000. The amount of the same' items September 10, 1890. was J99.509.220. which demonstrates the fact that over 51,000.000 more money has been paid out since September 1, 1889, than has been received into the Treasury during that time. In other words, every dollar received by the Treasury since September 1. 1889. has been paid out and over H 1,000,000 besides. Tho apparent surplus shown Keptember 10. 1890. of J99.509.220 is uiaue tip as iniiows: Fractional silver coins, about 822,000.000 (unavailable for purchase of bonds); in national depositories, $20,000,000 (and now in circulation.) CASH IN THE TBEASUBY. These two items, amounting to $17,000,000, de ducted from the 99,000,000, leaves about $52, 000,000, which represents the entire available cash in the Treasury, and that sum is a part of the $35,000,000 of national bank redemption funds made available by recentactof Congress. Thero is, therefore, not a dollar in the Treasury supplies which came there by custom dues or internal taxes. Hence there is not a dollar which represents any hoarding of the currency during the last year. The t55,00u,00U above re ferred to has been in the Treasury for several years, and this fund at one time during the last administration amounted to about $110,000,000. "The above statement is not a theoretical exposition of the condition of the Treasury, as it is an actnal fact that there were in cir culation on the 1st day of September over ?io,uuu,uuu more man mere were on Septem ber 1,1889." Secretary Windom said that he would probably take steps at once to purchase some Government 4 psr cents, but how many he would redeem, he declined to state. He intends to remain in New York for-several days, and take all necessory steps to relieve the stringency in the money market FAVOR A LATER DATE. The Withdrnnrnl of Bonded Goods Will bo Extended to February 1. Washington, September 13. The Treasury Department officials caused careful inquiry to be made to-day as to the proba bilities of Congress fixing a later date than November 1, ip the pending tariff for the withdrawal of bonded merchandise under existing schedules and Assistant Secretary Nettleton has given to the Associated Press the following statement as to what con clusion was reached? "The information obtained render it as sure as any future legislative event can bo foreseen that the withdrawing goods will be fixed at February 1, 1891. The Senate com mittee has held no formal conference as to the matter,. but I have seen Messrs. Aldrich, Allison nnd-Hiscock, of the committee, and Chairman McKinley, of the Honse, and am able to state definitely from interviews with them that they 'favor the proposed extension. to February 1. The President to-day ex pressed his" concurrence in the suggested change. Mr. McKinley, in my interview with him, used the following emphatic language: 'Nothing should be done by Congress to tighten the money market if it can be avoided, in justice to all interests. Whether the date fixed by the Senate for the withdrawal of merchandise in bond would have that effect or not, it there is a widespread belief in the business commu nity that it will do so, it is about as serious as though it was a lact. The House of Representatives will do nothing rashly or inconsiderately, and even if the apprehended' money stringency has been promoted by undue Importations for purposes of speculation and to thwart the effect of tariff legislation, yet if close times come others must suffer besides those who occasioned tbem. Therefore Congress should not hesitate to give such time as will prevent any extraordinary demand for money in the present condition ot affairs." NO PANIC AT ANY HAZARD.

The President has also been in consulta tion by wire with Major McKinley, the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, and others In regard to the pro priety of extending the date fixed by the Senate for the new tariff bill to go into effect.

Some months ago two women called on J. F. Wells, real estate broker, of this city. One introduced herself as Miss Emma L. Dick, niece of S. W. Dick, deceased capi talist. She wished to sell a lot owned by her in this city, for which she asked $35, 000. For several months the woman called on Wells at intervals to ascertain whether he had made the sale. Finally heinformed her that the property could not be sold for that sum. She then said she wonld borrow $8,000 on it. Wellsjicted as her agent, and negotiated a loan for that sum from Thomas Crane, a well known man. The title was searched and declared per fect. A mortgage on the property was drawn up and placed on record last Satur day and the money paid over. The record ing of the mortgage was not published till Thursday, when it was discovered Miss Dick had made no mortgage and the woman who received the money was an im poster. No clew can be found as to her whereabouts. Those who saw her believe she was a man in disguise. TEYIHG TO C0MBIHE. An Important Issue at (he Coming Conven tion of Engineers In Pitlsburff. Chicaoo, September 13. At the coming convention of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers, which shortly ocenrs in Pittsburg, & rquestion under serious con sideration will be brought up for settle mentthe federation with other railway employes. There is a wide difference of opinion among the members of the Brother hood regarding the advisability of the move, while again there are hundreds who favor the scheme. The present federation of railroad employes includes the firemen, switchmen, conductors and trainmen, the latter including the baggage men and brakemen. The engineers have heretofore considered themselves an aristocracy in the railroad employes' organizations, and the strongest in power. Several ot the Grand Lodge officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers are pronounced in favor of fed eration, and the impression is rapidly gain ing ground that a successful railroad strike must call out all employes in the train ser vice, THE DISPATCH DLBECTOBY.

GRAND E EEPIIBL1CANS. date Selamater Well Eecelvedby th8 Large Audience. H0-NT00TH AKD HASTINGS CHEEKED The Republican campaign was opened in Pittsburg last evening by a mats meeting in the Grand Opera House. United States Senator Ingalls was the bright particular star of the occasion, and made one of fcta characteristic speeches arraigning the Demo cratic party and defending the Republican party. Senator Delamater, General Hast ings, Senator Watrcs and Colonel Thomas J. Stewart also delivered addresses. Thero A,"a a parade of clubs, and a large and en- iastic audience was present vw ' trm . j r. ;ro w Ingalls, the sarcastic Senator - frov ' s, sounded the Republican toe- sin in t Grand Opera House last evenins. AL&iOP Canif and the formal opening of the State campaign was made. It was a great effoit from a Bepublican standpoint, redolent with wit and satire' full of interesting statistics and a beautiful description of the material progress of the country. The Bepublican caldron seethed and boiled over under his fiery infl uence, and the violence of the ebullitions frequent ly interrupted him in the shape of spoil taneous and hearty applause. The house was crowded with Republicans ready to cheer and howl at any party senti ment. Pally 2.500 people were present, and they commenced to take their ssats long before the parade ot clubs started through the mud to escort the speakers to the meet ing place. A band and the W. H. Mo Cleary Glee Club were provided to furnish, amusement for the crowd, but it was not music they wanted but oratory. CHEEKS FOB SI0NT00TH. As the minutes wore away they got rest- less, and there were loud cries for Mon tooth, Broadax Smith and others. Indeed more than once during the evening the cheefs for the. absent and handsome Major were significant. The meeting was in charge of Chairman W. D. Porter and his assistants on the Be publican County Committee. The stage of the Opera House was pre-empted by prominent and representative Repub licans. Among those present were Harry W. Oliver, Jr., who was elected President; Mayor Gourley, William Flinn, Chief Brown, Charles J. Clarke, James A. Chambers, Reg ister Samuel Connor, Willis J. Hulings of ' Oil City, Sheriff McCandless, Prothonotary John Bradley, Colonel Andrew Stewart, Major Erown, Clarence Burleigh. There was a noticeable absence of some of the party leaders, but upon the whole Candidate Del amater was highly pleased with his recep- tion. Collector Warmcastle, United States District Attorney Lyon, William Witherow and other Republicans occupied places in the wings. TThe outpour of people was a fitting close to the four days' festivities, or rather days of hard work for Senator Dela mater, which had been arranged for him. DELA5IATEE NEEDS BEST. His hustling qualities and ability to coyer ground have already been demonstrated, ' but last night his voice was husky and 1 hoarse as he spoke, and it was quite ap- : parent that he needs a little rest from his arduous labors. The managers were in an ', elegant humor, even if they had a little i trouble at first to maintain order and curb the impatience of the people. ' Previous to the meeting there was a short parade of three clnbs. The Delamater Guards, colored, turned out 60 men, in com mand of Captain Charles Miller; the Toung Men's Republican Tariff Club, 64 men, under command of A. H. Rowand, and the Americus Republican Club had 85 men, under Major A. J. Logan. The clubs formed on Water street, marched up to the Hotel Duquesne and from there escorted the can didates and speakers over a short route to the Grand Opera House. When the speakers came out on the stags Ingalls was in advance, followed by Sen ator Delamater, Senator Watres, Colo nel Thomas J. Stewart and H. W. Oliver, Jr., ia order. As soon as the tall, attenuated frame of tha Kansas Senator loomed np there was a mighty shout and terrific cheers, that were kept np for quite awhile. The President of the Senate paid no attention to the applause, but quietly removed his light overcoat. EAOEB TO HEAB INGALLS. There were loud calls for a speech from him at Once, and it was with difficulty that Chairman Porter conld make himself heard in nominating Harry Oliver for President of the meeting. There was a lusty aye at the mention of his name, and Mr. Porter remarked that the choice was unanimous. This caused a kick, and some one cried ont, "We don't want Harry Oliver." This break raised a storm of hisses, bnt Mr. Oliver paid no attention to It, and assumed command. He said that bs took the meeting as an earnest that this was not to be an off year in State politics, and, referred his hearers to what followed in Ohio as a consequence of the failure of tho Republican party. Amid the applanse that followed Mr. Oliver's remarks, Clarence Burleigh secured the floor and commenced to go over the long, list of Vice Presidents. He mentioned the names of MajorMontooth, A. M. Byers, John said, "and the rest of the names on this pa- ' per." There were some lively cheers when Hootooth's same was spoken.
