SEPTEMBER 14, 1890. mst ELOPING TO AMERICA It is Now a Favorite Haven of Refuge for English and Irish Lovers. ONE FAITHLESS HUSBAND Eeturns to Secure a Legacy and is Yery Speedily Arrested. K0MA5TIC CASE IN C0U5TY CLAEE A Handsome Laborer Skips With a Wealthy Widow's Daughter. THE ANGRY KOTHEB E? EOT PUBSUTT Seven rears ago an English miller went to America with his neighbor's wife. He returned to secure a legacy, and now lan guishes in prison. A very romantic elope ment is reported from Couuty Clare, Ireland. IB DUNLAP'S CABLE COMrAXT. LONDOX.ScptemberlS. There was a good deal of excitement at Liverpool on Wednes day when an American was arrested on board the "White Star steamer Brittannic and taken into the town. The worthy was known to his friends in Cleveland, O., and the world at large of late years as Mr. W. H. "Wilson. But, by a enrious and unfortunate coin cidence, his baptismal register does not agree with his latter day cognomen. Seven years ago he was a miller in Ashhnrton, a village 16 mileo from Exeter, in Devon shire. There he was known as "William Knappman, and there was also a Mrs. "Williani Knappman. But there was not that entente cordiale between them that onght to exist between man and wife. One morning, without any warning, the village woke up and found that two of its inhabitants had vanished during the night. A PAKTXEIl IX FLIGHT. One of them was Mr. William Knappman and the other was the wife of his neighbor, a man named Hatherley. The evidence that they had gone off together was too strong to be doubted. Tne village was scandalized, as it prides itself on being one of the most moral in the whole of England. But accidents will happen even in the most moral English village. Mr. Knapp man and Mrs. Hatherley took ship lor the land of the brave and the free to live their life for love and each other. The name of Knappman was dropped and so was that of Hatherley, and they went to Cleveland, O., to live. It was from that city that the first news arrived in Ashburton of the love lorn if erring couple. A few months ago Mr. W. H. Wilson received the sad news of the cleath of a relative in England, A LEGACT FOE HIM. Bnt it was sottened by the fact that the deceased had also left him a legacy. To come by his inheritance it was necessary that he should return to the old conntry. He did so, accompanied of course, by the former Mrs. Hatherley, now Mrs. Wilson. His wife, Mrs. William Knappman, who had lived alone all this while, hearing of his visit to England, determined to enter a protest against his conduct of seven years ago. She therefore procured a Variant against him on a charge of wife desertion. Mr. Wilson, ignorant of the danger that was hanging over his head, arranged his affairs with the lawyers, and, accompanied by Mrs. Hatherley and her youngest sister, set out for Liverpool on his way to their home in Cleveland. They had got on board the Britannic, on which steamer berths had been booted for them, when the officers of the law ran them down. Mr. Wilson formerly Knappman was duly arrested and taken on shore; he was locked up in Liverpool till yesterday, when he le t under an escort of police for his native air ol Ashburton. Mrs. Wilson, formerly Mrs. Hatherley, and her sister held a hurried conference after his sudden departure as to what they should do, and eventually de cided, as their passage had been booked tor America, and thev were alrejdy on board the steamer, it would be as well not to re turn to the inhospitable shores of Old En gland, but to await in their Western home the advent of the unfortunate and long suffering Wilson when he had finished his unsought interview with the legal authori ties ot his native country. ANOTHEB ELOPEMENT. News of a much more modern elopement comes from County Clare, in Ireland, the land where every girl is a beauty. The event is the talk of the hour, for it has only just happened, and the Americans here are all reminded by it of the case of the wealthy Miss Morosim, who married her father's coachman, Mr. Schelling. The enamored young lady is Miss Mary Lynch, who has reached the sugary age of 17, and is the uauguter 01 the wealthy Mrs. Lynch, a widow who resides at Clare Castle. Some time ago John Moriarty applied for a position as a laborer on the estate, and be ing a tall, strong man, he obtained employ ment. In addition to bis fine physique he is a rather handsome fellow, and his looks; attracted the attention 01 Miss Lynch when first she had occasion to give him some in structions. His address pleased her and her beauty made a deep impression on the heart of the laborer. The you ng lady soon made an opportunity to talk to him again and more interviews followed. Eventually assured of his position, and that his passion was not hopeless, he summoned up his courage and told his love. Miss Lvnch was enraptnred and promised lorthwith to marry him. But in their case, too, the course of true love did not run smooth. AN AKGnr MOTHER. Mrs Lynch came to hear of the meetings between her beautiful daughter and the handsome laborer. That was a state of affairs she could not permit. She accord ingly took measures to prevent their meet ings. At first she succeeded, and she con gratulated herself on the fact. But she had iorgotten that "love laughs at locksmiths." and that Cupid can make a key to fit the most intricate Yale lock that mortal mind ever invented. In a very short time Miss Lynch and Mr. Moriartv were in communication, and this time they agreed to flee Jroin the hatelul restrictions Clare Castle imposed on them. The plan was carried to a successful issue and they eloped and got as far as Poznes, intending to take the first steamer from Queenstown and go to America. ' But Mrs. Lynch did not intend to re linquish her daughter to the tender care of her iornier servant without a struggle, so she obtained a warrant from the police 'and followed the couple to Foznes, where she run them to earth and duly arrested them. Now she has found them, everybody is ask ing this question: "What will she do with them?" The London flernld Finn Suspended. TBT PUJtt.Ar'8 CABLE COJTTAKT.'I London, September 13.

INCREASED GUARANTEES OF SUPPORT -FROM BOTH GERMANY AND ITALY: Exchange- of Signatures on September IS Connt Kalnoky HnmHand In the Re newal of the Treaty Russia.' Side of the Question. COPTBIOHT,1S90, BT Till: KSW TOIIX ASSOCIATED PRESS.: Beklin, September 13. The extension of the triple alliance treaty to May, 1897, has been accepted by Emperor William at the request of the Austrian Government. The draft of the revised treaty, prepared by Count Kalnoky, increases the guarantees of both Germany and Italy to support Aus tria in the event of a Russian invasion of tLe Balkans. The signatures of Chancellor Von Capriviand Count Kalnoky will be ex changed at a meeting fixed for September 18, at the Schloss Bohnstock, the Kaiser's quarters, near Jauer. The modifications of ot the treaty virtually confirm Austria's possession of Bosnia and Herzegovinia. The renewal of the treaty so long before its ex pjration is due to the insistance or Count Kalnoky, who feared that the Italian elections would cripple Signor Crispi and cause a change in Italy's foreign policy. It is probable that the Austrian Prime Minister also dreaded the establishment ot an entente between Emperor William and the Czar. Signor Crispi accelerated the negotiations, having reason to suspect that King Humbert, unknown to his ministers, had exchanged views with the Czir adverse to the Dreibund through the Prince ot Naples during the Prince's recent visit to St Petersburg. Emperor William will therefore greet Emperor Francis Joseph on the 17th inst. with increased cordiality, the mutual trust tending to induce Austrian assent to Emperqr William's schemes to pacify Bussia. bemi-omcial communications which ap pear in the St. Petersburg papers declare that Russian political circles are confident that Emperor William, in his conferences with Emperor Francis Joseph, will endeav or to prevail upon him to harmonize his policy in the Balkan Peninsula with that of Bussia. Signor Crispi, before agreeing to a pro longation of the treaty, tried to obtain a pledge from Count Kalnoky that he would cede Italy a part of Trentlno in ex change for a definite recognition of Austrian rights in Bosnia. Emperor William's re fusal, however to permit the Dieibund compact to be in any way dependent on Italian Irredentit claimB made Count Kal noky more resolute in his refusal to discuss the subject of the cession. CAMPAIGN OP SOCIALISTS. Iramente Efforts to Preach Tholr Doctrines in the Raral Regions. Berlin, September 13. The proposal which was approved at Socialist meetings held here and in Hamburg, to have illumi nations on the night of October 1, in honor of the expiration of the anti-Socialist law, is opposed by the moderates. The Govern ment will prepare for the rigorous sup pression of any public jubilation. An immense effort to extend the Socialist Propaganda to the smaller towns and among the rural population will begin on the first or next month. Over 100 small papers devoted to this cause will appear on that date. It is intended to penetrate into the districts hitherto closed against Social ism. Lecturers will be sent every where to preach Socialism. Members of provincial diets and in the local communes will be con tested wherever possible. The recent in crease in the Democratic vote in the agricultural districts gives reason for the belief that the peasants will readily absorb the Socialist doctrines. HAPPY ALL AROUND. IMMENSE DEMONSTRATION OF IN BUENOS AYRES. PEOPLE Jot Over tho Change la the Presidency Candidates Hoomtd by Their Revolu tionary Adherents and Friends Iieaders Withdraw Prom the Race. Bio se Janeiro, August 28. Advices from Buenoi Ayres say there is general sat isfaction and both parties are rejoicing over the turn which affairs have taken. A prominent feature of the rejoicing in Buenos Ayres over the change in the Presidency was a monster demonstration in honor of Dr. Leandre N. Alem, President of the Revolutionary Government, a man who is very popular and who has a reputation for the strictest integrity. Sixty thousand people are said to have taken part in the demonstration. It is not thought, however, that he will be the candi date of his party for the Presidency. Neither will Dr. Aristobule del Valle, another of the revolutionary leaders. Dr. Aristobule is a talented journalist, and before the revolution represented the province of Buenos A'yres in the Argentine Senate. On the collapse of the revolution he resigned. It is now thought that the candidate of this party will be General Bartelome Mitre, who is at present in Europe. General Mitre has already been President of the Republic For a while, during the Paraguayan war, he commanded the allied armies, but won no great military reputation. Some years alter the close of the war he was deprived of his post in the army and of his political rights for having unsuccessfully attempted a revo lution. He was afterward restored to his rights and to his military rank, but not'to active amy in me army, xie is noted as a very warm friend to Brazil. President Pellegrini his repeated the de cree establishing martial law and the cen sorship of the press. It is said that the officers of the army and navy, excluded from their positions for having taken part iu the revolution, will be restored to their rank and duties. There is little doubt that the victory over the revolutionary party in Buenos Ayres was due principally to the firmness of the police force, which numbers 3,000 men, and has a military organization. Had this force wavered it is probable that the whole army would have joined the revolutionists. Yesterday in Buenos Ayres there was a demonstration, attended by 20,000 persons, in honor of Senator Barbo Rocha, whose friends present him as a candidate for the Presidency. In the Senate Bardo Bocha and Aristobule del Valle were the leaders of the opposition to President Celman. The Presidentand all hisMinisteis pledge themselves not to be candidates for the Presidency at the next election. SENDING UP COTTON. Southern Cot ion Men Arrange With a For c'sn Syndicate to Raise Price Montgomery, Ala., September 13. A prominent member of the Farmers' Alliance stated in the city this morning that the cot ton committee of the National Alliance has perfected arrangements with a syndicate of European capitalists to advance $32 per bale upon a million bales of cotton, at'a yearly interest of 4 per cent. Farmers will be allowed to store their cotton, and, on the warehouse receipt, the advance arranged for will be paid, while the farmer will have the privilege of selling the cotton at any time within 12 months. Prominent cotton men think that the with drawal of this amount of cotton from the market will tend to advance the price of cotton within 12 months to 12 or 13 cents per pound.

He particularly objects to the Federal elec tion measure. Some - of the features of the tariff bill lie considers as sectional. ISFZCIAL TILED RAX TO THE PISPATCS. Petersburg, Va., September 13. Ex Governor William E. Cameron, Republican, has written an open letter, addressed to W. S. Dashiell, of Richmond, in which he says: I have been tanght by the events of 18 months past that men of our antecedents and convictions can no longer, with self respect, lend onr voices, our votes, or even the negative support of silence to the Republican party as it is expounded by the organization in this State, or as it is administered by the present execu tives legislative departments of the United States Government. The Republican party preserves no longer the semblance of speaking for the entire conntry, hot bases Its claim to supremacy on sectional pre judices and sectional interests, pure and sira Sle. Not only so, bat the directors of its policy ave not hesitated in the attainment of their ends to prostitute the plighted faith of the party in sight ot all the world, and to renounce in their Congress enactments the promises solemnly made in the Chicago platform. They stand self-convicted, not only of false pretense, bnt of MATHEMATICAL MALIGNANCY in seeking to retain power by re-invoking the war sentiment at the North and West, and by resurrecting all the stock phrases of fanaticism and sectionalism which could stir the South into resentment and retort. Their object was and is to force the fighting as Detween a solid North and a solid South, and at the same time to use the small contingent of Southern Re publicans in Congress to minimize tho power of the South by such political abominations as the Lodge hill and by so framing a tariff law, nnder pretext of protection to American labor and American products, as to increase every burden of the customs npon the weaker sec tion and leave in force, in all its shameless in equality, the revenue tax upon the tobacco of "Virginia. Carolina. Tennessee, Kentucky, Mis souri. Maryland and Florida. The utterances of Mr. McKinley on the floor of the House and the action of the Senate on Monday in regard to the tobacco clause consti tute an open declaration of war against South ern development, and we most realize that this action, apart from its inherent injustice, is a deliberate, wanton and absolute falsification of a solemn promise to the tobacco States by the. JVationalUonventlon. The Lodge billlsmlscallea "the force bill," because In operation it would be impossible of enforcement to the ends pre tended they sought. To enact it woold bo to paralyze the commercial progress of tho entire country and to set hack Southern development in which Northern capital is largely engaged But THE MAIN SUFFERER would be the negro, who by this vicious effort to neutralize inevitable conditions wonld be de prived of all the safeguards which now sur round him. Personally and politically he would become the scapegoat in a local strife in which Mr. Lodge and Mr. Reed would have no concern and no influence. The passage of this act into a law would be a public calamity, and its passage by the majority of the House of Represent? titesfixes the responsibility on the Republican party. Ihe call lor a halt by Sena tor Quay in the Senate only voices the protest of a frightened financial and commercial North, and only proves that Mr. Quay is afraid to risk this campaign on an issue which one section would regard as a blunder and the other as a crime. Not presuming to set up for any other man or set of men a standard of duty, and willing to concede to every one else that freedom of thought and action I have always claimed for myself, my resolve, founded on a desire to ba true to myself and my country is to refuse all sympathy or co-operation with the Republican party with the crusade against the new section which it now espoused, and under the leader ship to which it submits. Sincerely your friend, William E. Cajiekon. ' HIGH IN CONTROL. THE BERKS REPUBLICAN CONVENTION VERY LIVELY. Charges of Irregularity Mode by the Op position Forces The Resolutions Adopt ed Indorse Ercr J thing nnd Everybody A Foil Ticket In the Field. ntrCCIAL TELEOBAM TO Till PIRPATCH.1 Beading, September 13. Th Berks Republican Connty Convention held here to-day, proved a turbulent gathering. The factional fights existing in the party, grow ing out of the Beading postmastership, were carried into the convention and a red hot time was the result. On one side was A. M. High, the representative of Senator Qnay, and on the other anti-High men. The High men controlled the convention though the opposition denounced their methods in violent terms. In one township where the vote was a tie thev put in their man, and in the town of BechtelsVille they forced in three High delegates though it was not entitled to it. having only been made a separate district yesterday, while the dele gate elections were held on Saturday. In other districts no delegate elections were held, the delegates being appointed by the High committeemen. These contests produced an uproar in the convention which lasted ten minutes, both factions trying to outdo the other in yelling, stamping of feet and shouting until tney were tired. David S. Brumbach, a High man, was elected Permanent President over Colonel D. C. Keller, anti-High, by a vote of 120 to 190. Tne crowd began to qniet after Chairman Brumbich had announced, that if any more funny business was attempted he would sit down on them hard. Tne resolutions indorsed President Harri son, Governor Beaver, Senators Quay and Cameron, Speaker Beed, Delamater and the entire State ticket; the McKinley bill the force bill and the national bankruptcy bill. The High forces elected their men as dele gates to the next State Convention. The convention decided not to nominate a candi date for Congress outright, but to leave that in the hands of five conferees who will be ap pointed bv the Chairman. They, of course, will be High men and will nominate a High candidate for Congress. The High candi date for County Chairman, H. S. Bard, was elected over J. P. S. Fenstemacher, anti High. A full county ticket of High men was placed in nomination. "ERIE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The Canadian Minister of Finance on Onr Tariff IMl. ISFXCIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCII.1 Ottawa, September 13. Speaking to day of the probable effect of the McKinley bill upon Canadian trade and commerce. Minister of Finance Foster said that in the bill as passed the Sen ate there is little to favor Canadian trade, while the general trend is in the line of prohibiting Canadian products from United States markets. Much as Canada may regret this, it is not a thing which she conld have avoided, nor which, when accomplished, should cause one moment's hesitation or despondence. From 1816 up to the present the successive Governments of Canada have knocked, at the door of the United States lor Ireer admission to her markets on jnst and equitable terms. The reiusals have oeen many and repeated. The McKinley bill will have the effect of raising to the people Of the United States the prices of many articles the United States must have and must obtain largely Irom Canada. It will develop the inter national products of Canada in a more profitable way. SQUARING WITH THE TELLER, Allen, Artested for EtnbrzzIIng $41,000, Fixes Up Things With the Bank. Nashville, September 13. Frank M. Allen, who is under bond to await trial on the charge of embezzling $41,000, funds of the Capital City Bank, of which institution he was teller until his arrest recently, suc ceeded to-day, by the aid of relatives, in effecting a compromise of his shortage. The terms of settlement formed the subject of a long conference to-day between the directors of the bank, the bank's attorneys, and Allen, his friends and attorneys. The de tails of the settlement we're not made public, bnt a reporter was informed that the com promise was satisfactory to all concerned. The compromise will release the guarantee company, which was on Allen's bond for $10,000, irom all liability, and stop criminal prosecution. The warrant which was sworn out against Allen will be withdrawn. It is understood that the bank will lose a com paratively small proportion of the original amount of the shortage. t KICKS OVER THE , TRACES. Soperlntendent Foi ter Denounces So-Colled Civil Service Reform. tSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBS DISPATCH. Washington, September 13. Census Superintendent Porter, although a member of the Harrison administration, is not exact ly in tune with the Presidentand his friends in the songs they sing in praise of so-called civil service reform. In an article which will appear over his signature to-morrow in The Politician, a new and breezy Wash ington publication, Mr. Porter says: "I am opposed to a system of public service that sets a steam hammer in motion to crack a nut in other words, a system that demands an 'elaborate examination, as is the case in England, in order to ascertain whether or not a person is competent to ad dress envelopes or to add quickly and cor rectly a column of figures. I am opposed to a system of public service, the tendency of which is to create a race of barnacles, as it is impossible to make a removal; the resnlt is arrogance, shiftlessness and neglect." AT DEATH'S DOOR. . While Testing a Patent Fire Escnpe a Man nnd Boy Fall to the Ground. San Fkancisco, September 13. John Murphy has been in this city for some time attempting to introduce a fin1 escape in vented by himself. This consists of a belt and wire rope, by which he was auto matically lowered to the ground. To in troduce his escape, Murphy has been mak ing descent from several high bnildings, and to-day attempted to make one from the top of the Chronicle building. The first part of the 'descent was made safely; at the fourth story he stopped, swung into the window and took a little son in his arm. The additional load was too much, the belt broke and father and son fell violently to the ground. Both were seri ously injured, but may recover. They were taken to the hospital. Mrs. Murphy was to have made the next descent with her hus band. AN OFFICIAL GONE WRONG. Lewis T. Yonng, of Philadelphia, Believed ti bo Short Abont 35,000. nSPEClAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH. I Philadelphia, September 13. Chief Clerk Lewis T. Young, of the health office, is short about $5,000 in his accounts with the city. Diligent search was made to-night at the residence of ihe derelict official and the haunts which he is known to have been in the habit of frequenting, but he could not be found,, nor could any information as to his whereabouts be obtained. The fact that the shortage had been found by the City Controller was known by a lew early this morning, and efforts were made to keep the affair quiet, but it leaked ont, and during the alternoon it was the sole topio of conversation among those who frequent the health office.

Ev erythlng Good in Polities' Ascribed to the Republican Party An Argument in Favor of Pat tlsanshlp Material Growth of the Conntry Described. President Oliver, in a few words, intro duced Senator Ingalls, who made the speech of the evening. The Senator wore a light colored suit, and a Prince Albert coat, which was closely buttoned around him. In a strong, oratorical voice he commenced his address, which lasted over an hour, and was intently listened to. At one stage, when he spoke of stopping, his auditors begged him to go on. His effort follows: Believe me, Mr. President, ladies and gentle men of Pittsburg, that I am not uuconscious of the honor of your attendance here in such numbers this evening, nor insensible to the cor diality of your greeting and your salutation. It is, I am sure, unnecessary and superfluous for me to say that I am not here for the pur pose of Interfering with, giving advice concerning or commenting upon the local affairs of Allegheny county or the State of Pennsylvania. There are moments when the stranger intermeddleth not. And I feel that it would be inappropriate, un just and undeserving of me and the occasion were I to assume to give advice or counsel to the, Republicans of Allegheny county as to their duty in the contest that is before them. And yet I may be allowed to say that I am not on this occasion wholly an intruder, a volun teer or an unbidden guest. I have come at the invitation and request and at the instance of the Executive Committee of this county and of my friend, Senator Cameron, whom, I hope, will be returned by the people ot Pennsylvania this winter to the seat which he adorns, and to my distinguished friend, the taciturn senator quay, he who says little, but does a great deal to ap pear before you for the purpose and for the sole purpose of saying in such ways as I may and with such arguments and reasons as I may present, why it is that the Republican party is entitled to the continued confidence of the Re publicans of Allegheny county, and why its as cendency and supremacy should be maintained in tho State of Pennsylvania and in the nation. Fellow citizens of Allegheny county, in a popular representative form of government, political parlies are an indispenslble necessity. ucu iueie is no aynasty, no reigning lamiiy, no hereditary nobility, no prerogative nor class distinction, the Government is the party in power, and hence it i3 that every American citizen should be a politician. Not in the sense of being a candidate for office, but in the larger, in the wider and in the nobler sense of taking an intelligent interest in public affairs. Applause. And from the spectacle I see before me I should be inclined to think that in the sense which I describe, the Republicans of Allegheny county need no further instructions from me. And not only should every citizen be a politi cian, but a partisan politician. I never have learned the lesson of belonging to the Repub lican party a little. I never have learned the lesson of votin? for tn ramiirtntn upon tho Republican ticket occasionally. A man ought to be a politician as in everything else, a partisan politician. He ought to believe that his wife is tho best, his children the most attractive, his city, his State, and his conntry, the noblest and most deserving of his devotion, or ho is not worthy of having a wlA, children, city. State, or country. PRAISE FOB PARTISANS. There is a certain class of politicians some times belonging to one party and sometimes to the other, who are so extraordinarily perpen dicular that they lean over a little backward. Who are never quite sure that they are be longing to a party unless they are voting for the candidates of the other, and elving aid and comfort to their adversaries. Therefore, Mr. President and fellow citizens of Pittsburg. I confess to being a partisan politician, and I have no sympathy with those who roll up their eyes until you can see nothing but the whites, and hold up their hands in holy horror, and enlarge tho borders or their pbilac tories, and stand on the cor ners of the streets magnifying their own virtues, and thanking God that they are not as other men and not as other Republicans. If a man is a Democrat in God's name let him be a Democrat. He that is filthy lee him be filthy. And if he is a Republican, in God's name, let him be a Republican in off years as well as in Presidental vears. Fellow rftiTAna T am often awkward, being what is common ly called a Republican Republican, and that is, as we say in the West, "A Republican from the head of the creek." iu whom their is no variableness nor shadow of turning. I am asked what is the difference be tween a Republican and a Democrat, or the difference between the Democraticand Repub lican party? What odds does it make except that one or the other shall have the offlcesT 1 have one observation to make on that point, fellow citizens. 1 have one slight difference to suggest as to the difference between the Demo. cratic and Republican party in the off years, as well as in the Presidental year, and that is, that upon every issue, npon every ques tion affecting the honor, the welfare, and the prosperity and the existence of this nation for the last SO years, the Republican party has always been right and the Democratic party HAS ALWAYS BEEN 'WBONG. And it is just exactly as wrong at this par ticular moment of time as it was In 1S81 or any time since 1881. Slavery, secession. State soy- eignity, reconstruction, the public credit, the national currency, the resumption of specie payment, the coinage of silver, protection to American labor and the tariff for the protec tion of American Industries, I say to you that npon everv one of these questions, from the beginning down to the last syllable of the record of time even so late as Thursday of last week the Republican party has always been right and the Democratic party has al ways been wrong. Applause. And It will continue to be wrong, world without end, amen. A voice Senator, did you ever read the Bible? How about the old soldier? 1 suppose, fellow citizens, that in the snburbs of Pittsburg at least in the suburbs of most cities with which I am acquainted, there is a vacant space of common land in which the neighborhood deposit what they have'got done with. Where you will find empty cans, the cast-off clothing, refuse of vicinities with which the community.bavlng had the usufruct. is latigueu aun desires nnauy to dispone of without further comment. The Democratic party is the political dumping 'ground of politics in the nineteenth centnry. .Every excluded heresy.every abandoned heresy everything that the nation has got done with and tired of and has cast away to be trodden under the feet of man, is the heritage of the Democratic party. And lest this may seem to be harsh, censorius criticism, lest I may be called to account for some ot these wholesale statements, and charged with defamation, as I have sometimes been, I beg to say that I have been in public life for over 18 years, and during that period of time the Democratic party have had control of this Government either in whole or in part, for 14 years, and if any Democrat, or any friend of that organization (turning to Mr. Oliver) and by looking at you I don't mean that you are one of tbem-!-can point out to me a single specific act that the Democratic party ever did, or ever proposed to do, for the wel fare or advancement, either of the moral, in tellectual or physical condition of the country. I pause tor a reply. BEADY TO 3E CONVINCED. It it can be pointed out or designated, I will confess to my error, and if any member of that organization will point out to me any act that they have ever performed. exceDt to resist, to peevishly complain, to attempt by revolution ary and intolerable measures to defeat the great beneficent statntes that have been en acted by the great Republican party, which they have not afterward themselves Indorsed, and which they have not asked the American people to forgive them for having tempted to defeat and overthrow. Twill agrin coness my error and ask to be forgiven. Mv fellow citizens, I have erred in calling the Democracy a party. It is an aggregation of the ignorance, the Imbecility and the disloyalty of this country. Strongest where publio morality is weakest, reinforcing all the danger ous and destructive agencies .of society and having neither conscience nor courage of con- viiwuuo, ik a it uefpeiuai anu uousiam menace to the prosperity, the honor of the American Eeople. and yet, fellow citizens. I occasionally ear some poor mortal complaining of the Re publican party because it has bad manr inde fensible policies. WelL.1 have been somewhat of a kicker myself. There bare been Re- Eublican leaders that I did not like; there ave been Republican policies that I did not approve ot and indorse, and I have said so without hesitation, bnt I think the worst Re publican that ever lived is better by far than the best Democrat that ever lived. Po litically speaking, I mean. I have many per sonal triends among the Democratic party, and I have always, therefore, taken the conse quences. Follow citizens, your Chairman was good enougntosay that I was not a stranger to the citizens of western Pennsylvania. However that may be. the citizens of western Pennsyl vania are no strangers to me j and I never visit Pittsburg without feeling renewed sentiments jwwunu wonaer ana aasuratwa at toe- work that has been wrought here by the gen ius and enterprise ot your people. AN ILLUSTRATION OP ENTEBPBISE. Situated at the confluence of two important streams, with a climate of unusual celubrfty, equally removed from the rigidity of tne North, and the enervating heat of the South, with a soil beneath which, easily accessible to two great agencies of .modern civilization, coal and iron, the conveniences of nature have been supplemented by the genius of man, until upon these ragged hills has been reared a fabric that is one of the marvels and wonders of American civilization. I have, on many occasions, gazed with wonder at the palaces of vour merchant nrinces. the temples of justice and religion with their. ujjq, u aiuui,cuiitIC tun lluuies U JfUlU artisans, in the surrounding snburbs, rich with all that wealth can purchase or taste suggest, and 1 have felt that it was an object lesson and illustration and exhibition of Republican enterprise. It is an illustration of what the Anglo Saxon race at its best can do whn it tries. I am told that there is not a pauper 'within your limits who is not maao so, either by infirmity or by calamity. I am advised that there is no able, bodied man willing to work who can not obtain occupation at reasonable wages. I am told that' contentment prevails; that the relations between labor and capital are adjusted satisfactorily. So that here has been erected this great fabric which is rich in every contingency, and possession of present riches and wealth, and lar greater in its pros pect of tnture renown. Pennsylvania State, of which this is the western metropolis, has also shared in this great result. It is an im perial Commonwealth, and it is but one of the great constellations or States whose develop ment and growth is a marvel that ha3 no prece dent or parallel in the civilized world. TnBIFTY GEORGE 'WASHINGTON. When George Washington died in 1799 he possessed the largest private fortune in the United States. Much of this came to blm by inheritance. But the Father of his Country, in addition to his other virtues, was a fhrlfcy. sagacious, forehanded man, and was a sur veyor and Indian fighter within the limits of the county, I believe, in which I speak. He ob tained information that enabled him to make valuable locations npon the public domain. The establishment of the National Capital did not decrease or diminish their' value, and so it came to pass that at the close of his life he was, to use the parlance of the day, the richest man in the oountry. It is safe so say that the richest man in the country could not be elected President to-day, and in connection with this fact; it is interesting to know that the entire snm total and aggregate of the possessions real, per sonal and mixed, slaves, securities, real estate, chases in action of the richest man in this country in 1799, W years ago, was betwaen S800, 000 and $900,000. It is safe to say that to-day there are hun dreds and thousands of men in this country whose yearly income is more than the entire estate of the richest man in thu country In 1799, and there is at least one man in this country whose monthly revenue exceeded the entire value of the estate of George Washington at the close of the last centurv. The statistics of the census of 1800 are not accessible. They are partial and incomplete. There were about 5,300,000 people in the country, and the entire acquisi tions and accumulations of the people were somewhere about H000.000.000. There was not a millionaire, nor a tramp, nor a pauper in the United States of America. The great mass of the people contentedly tilled the soil; tbey lived upon small farms and were fed and clothed from Its products. Those who dwelt by the sea fitted out ships, which tbey owned, and sailed them to distant portions of the earth in search of their prey. IT WAS A GOLDEN AGE. It realized the dream of Agar, "Give me neither power nor riches." It seemed as if the golden age and Eutopia of the Republic had been reached. Westward, even unto the Pa cific, lay the unexplored extent of the conti nent, and out of which I have myself since voted to admit six States into this Union. The tide of immigration was just about flowing over the crest of the Allegheny Mountains into this great valley, which is now the center and seat of political power on this conti nent. Under the readjustment of the political forces of this pountry, that will occur under the eleventh census, that great mountain region between the Allegnenies and Rocky mountains, extending from the British-possessions to the Golf of Mexico, will hold the purse and the soul. It will have a majority of the votes in the lower house of Congress; it will have a majority of the votes in the Electoral College for choosing the Pres ident and Vice President of the United States. I went West myself about SO years ago as a carpet-bagger from the State of Massachu setts. St. Louis was then an outpost of civil ization, and Jefferson City. Mo., was the far thest Western point reached by a railroad. In all that vast region, from the scattered settle. ment along the shore of the Missouri to the crest of the Sierra Nevada, and from the pine clad slopes of the Yellowstone to the gorge of the Rio Grande, there was neither harvest nor husbandry, nor habitation, nor homes, save the wigwam of the savage, more brutal than the beasts of "Iliad's" dream; there is nothing in the romance of the building of nations that compares with it, and it has all been brought to pass and come about under Republican ad ministration and Republican government. In I860 the conditions of which I speak had not materially cnanged. Tne population of the country had increased to ahout 16,600,000 and the wealth in proportion, but from that hour when Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States, when the free trader md slaveholder of permanent Democracy was per manently dethroned, that great procession of historical events which has brought us to onr present UNAPPROACHABLE HEIGHTS of material grandeur. The statistics of this censns are not yet accessible, but we shall have above 64,000,000 of people, and onr assets npon the national ledger will not be less than $100, 000,000. Since that time to which I have re ferred, when, under the sublime incentive of the doctrine of protecion to American labor, tho Republican party took control of the af fairs of this country, and there has not been an hour in which the clock has struck, day or night, Sunday or week day, in which there has not been added to the material accumulations of this country $250,000. I thick, Mr. President, that is a record to which we may, in the language of State plat forms, point with pride. But the Democratic party, true to its instincts of negation and criticism and censure during all that period has performed the function of a brake upon the great car of National progress. The only function of its leaders being to hold on and holloah whoa, is to-day engaged In an attempt nefarious, infamous, dangerous inslduous, appeal to the worst and most degraded ele ments of society, and claim that this majestic record of progress has been against the inter ests of tho people, and in the interest of corpo rations, monopolies and capitalists. You will recollect that the aged female saint on her deathbed, when she was questioned by ber master as to the evidence ot her faith, he inquired of her what she thought of the doc trine of total depravity, and she said she tbonght it was an excellent doctrine if well lived up to. In view of the accusation I feel justified in saying that Democracy is total de pravity in politics and well lived up to at that. SECTIONAL POLITICS. Since the day when the Frenchman who killed bis father and mother and, being con victed of the crime, requested executive clem ency on the grounds that he was an orphan, I don't think anything In the nature of effrontry has ever exceeded the claim of the Democracy that the Republican party is sectional. It Is sectional, Mr. President and ladies and gentlemen. There are Congressional districts, and there are States where a Repub lican meeting like this cannot be held nnder pejialty of death. , A voice: "You are right." There is to-day in one of the States of this Union a Constitutional Convention sitting with the avowed purpose of disfranchising Republic ans' and rendering it imoossible for them to vote now or hereafter. There aro States and Congressional districts, where, by the enact ments of Democracy, there reigns nothing but despotism and tyranny. The lastvestage of popular government andRepnblican principles have been overthrown and there is nothing left ot the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, more than there is in the Dahomey or Zululand. I have many times said. Mr. President, and I say here again, that so long as 1 continue in public life, or private life for that matter, I never will desist in any presence-and in every presence from declaring that this struggle shall never ceaBe until it is jnst as exactly as gaieiur a uiacit xiepumican to vote in Mississippi as it is for a white Democrat in Pennsylvania. A voice Why don't you do it? Then I affirm. Mr. President that it was upon that plane that the Republican party was re stored to power. I affirm that that pledge has not been redeemed. I affirm further that It there has been any bargain, if there has been any agreement, if there has been any under standing by which it is not to be redeemed it is a bargain more disreputable than that of .Esau when be sold his birthright for a mess of pot tage, and more perfidious and dishonorable than that by which the Master was betrayed for SO pieces of silver. SIMPLY DEMANDS JUSTICE. The Republican party does not ask for do minion; it asks for justice. It does not ask for power; it asks that every man, black br white, on this continent beneath the segls of the Con st tutlon, shall have the right to vote once, and have that vote counted. And when this ts brought abont. the Republican party will be no longer sectional. The Republican party in this matter knows no State lines; it knows no points of the compass north, south, east or west, u snowa no ironuers out tne snores ox those great oceans that wash the eastern and J western boundaries of this continental, Indi visible and indissoluble Republic. Republicans of Allegheny connty, I am about to close. I appeal to yon to remember that the contest is the same now. that it has been every aay since you were organized. I appeal to you to ignore the fatal and degrading dogma of the off-year in politics. I appeal to you to imi tate Maine and not Vermont. I appeal to you in November to rally again beneath that flag upon whose victorious folds are inscribed the continental unity of the American Republic, the industrial independence of the American people. THE OTHER SPEAKERS. DELAMATER AND' HASTINGS ON STATE ISSUES. The renntor Claims National Snbjjcti Should beDlsensaed The General Chnrces Pat tlson Willi Dealing in Personalities A Defence of the Republican Party. When Senator Delamater was introduced, he said: "I listened with interest to the wonderf nl de scription of the Senator from Kansas describ ing the physical growth ol the country, and while he talked I 'thought of the wonderful growth of manhood that. I see before me. A few thonghts about the Republican party. It has always favored the rule of the majority. It has always fought for the equal rights of the people. The issues discussed here to-night were na tional, but the Democrats have attempted to brnsh them aside and Insert only State issues. These great questions do affect and concern us. The tariff is of interest to us. and since a have been here for four days visiting the mills, I am more than ever convinced of this fact. I am glad that Cleveland tore from the Dem ocracy its mask when lie issued his free-trade manifesto. The Republican tight of IS S3 was made on tne tariff. The right to vote and have it counted should not be questioned anywhere. The ballot is counted here. I wish to refer to the plank in the Republican platform that favors the adop tion of the Australian system of voting. This party does not rely on its achievements. If it did it would die. I am glad to be here as the representative of that party. Unless the Re publicans in Pennsylvania win by a large ma jority, if you hare any doubts about the result, we can't have hope in 1S92. He alluded to Hastings by speaking of him as the man who emulated him in striv ing for the nomination, bnt now sets an ex ample to voters by supporting the ticket and working for its success. c ENTHUSIASM FOK HASTINGS. General Hastings arrived on the limited, which was late, bnt he was on hand in time to make a stirring .speech. He was most enthusiastically received. The General has a powerlul voice and is a pleasing speaker. Among other things he said: I am a Republican, and If devotion to the principles of my party count for anything, then I am in good standing. I was born a Repub lican, and If I wasn't I would be born again. The man who says the party will not be suc cessful this fall is badly mistaken. Pennsyl vania has reaped tbet fruits of the protective system, and no other place has gained more from the benefits of the tariff than Pittsburg. The Democratic party has always been on tne wrong side of every proposition. In substance he then stated that if the Democrats are successful this fall it would mean the election of a Democratic Senator and Legislature, and a possible gerrymander of the State as iu Ohio. It would "put into power the freetrade party. It would in volve a repudiation ot the principles for which Grant and Sheridan fought and Lin coin and Garfield died. He would not assist in writing a Republican epitaph on a Demo cratic headstone. OHIO AN AWFUL EXAMPLE. He referred to Ohio as a sample of what would follow, where thay have a Demo cratic Governor and Senator, a gerrymander of the State, and the loss of 15 Congress men. He said Pittison was campaigning on a low basis. He is dealing in -personalities unworthy of him. In an interview he undertakes to show that money has been stolen . from the State Treasury. The General claimed that if these charges were true that the amount would not be equal to half what was squandered by Pattisoq in holding an extra session of the Legislature for selfish purposes. He cited the fact that Pattison vetoed the indigent bill for old soldiers. Referring to the present Congress he said It would go into history for its silver legis lation passage of laws to protect railway employes, and the distribution of $150,000, 000 'among the veterans of the war. Pleasant allusions were made to Ingalls and Beed. He called on the Republicans not to give up the traditions of their party. Mr. Watres, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, was next introduced and spoke a few words. He hoped and felt sure that the Republicans would stand by the party. Thomas J. Stewart ended the oratory by telling a pleasant little story. HTOAIIS GOES BACK. The Senator Returns to Washington In Private Car. Senator Ingalli was escorted back to the Duquesne by General Hastings, J. A. Brown, Sam Warmcastle, William Flinn and Connty Chairman Porter. At 11 o'clock Mr. Porter drove the Sena tor to the Union depot, where he boarded the private car Newport, provided for his accommodation by Mr. Frank Thompson. The Senator at once retired, and returned to Washington on No. 20 at 3:20 o'clock this morning. A Telegram From Beed. During the meeting a telegram was re ceived from Speaker Beed in which he re gretted that he could not be present, bnt re alized that he wasn't needed. Pennsylvania was one of the great Republican States, and wouldn't go back on the party. Trnby Appointed. William Truby, of the Sharpsville road, was yesterday appointed Superintendent of the Pittsburg and Western road. Mr. Boughton, who resigned, has accepted a po sition with the Chesapeake and Ohio at Cincinnati. BIG WORLD'S FAIR SCHEME. Prof, rntnnm, of Harvard Col'ege, Designs n Mammoth Ethnographical Mnseam. Chicago, September 13. Landscape Engineer F. L. Olmsted will arrive to-morrow to join his partner, Mr. Gorman, in the work of laying out the grounds for the World's Fair and consult with the other members of the Advisory Board, which was appointed, by the Grounds and Bnildings Committee. Mr. Olmsted will have a large corps of assistants. He has secured the services of one who is said to be the best landscape architect in the country. Secretary Butterworth returned from Wash ington to-day. On the snbject of amending the act of Congress so as to permit the Pres ident to invite foreign nations to participate in the Columbian Exposition and enable them to at once commence to prepare these exhibits, he said that in view of its being an affair of national importance the Nation al Commission, instead of the Local Direc tory, would take the matter up and recom mend this amendment to Congress. Xb.is action, he thought, would be taken early In the session of the National Commission, 'which opeos here Monday. Prot. rutnam, or Harvard College, has submitted a proposition which was to-day referred to the Fine Art Committee relating to an elaborate American ethnographical exposition as a part of the fair. The ex hibit, he proposes, should remain as the nucleus ot a great permanent ethnographical museum. His design is for a mammoth building, a iac simile of the wonderful stone structures of pre-historic architecture nu merous in Mexico, Central America and Peru. The idea is to present in detail a showing of what was in America and had been here, so far as man is concerned, when Colnmbns made it possible for our own race to take possession of the continent.

The Western window glass meifmeet at Chicago again Tuesday. They will proba bly adopt a novel trust scheme that they think will keep up prices and not be illegal. Each plant is to retain its individuality and sell all its product to the central organiza tion. f SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 3 Chicago, September 13. The conven tion ot the Pittsburg and Western glass manufacturers, which met in this city on September 2 and 3, will reassemble on Tues day, September 16, at the Auditorium build ing to determine whether the proposed "trust" shall be formed or not. Tip to this time the details of the scheme, which waa conditionally agreed upon at the last mee ing have not been given to the public; but this evening a well-known Pittsburg manu facturer disclosed the whole scheme to a cor respondent of The Dispatch and expressed the opinion that it would certainly go throngh with a rush. Thespian which the Manufacturers' Com mittee, of which William Loeffler and James H. Chambers are the Pittsburg members, has devised is very ingenious and simple, and is quite different'from ariy of the organizations to keep up prices, with which the pnblic is now familiar. A cor poration is to be chartered with a capital stocfe of 5500 for every glass pot represented in its membership. It is hoped to secure manufacturers operating a total of 800 pofj, and if that is done the capital stock will ba put at $400,000, and each member will tako stock to the amount of $500, par value, for each pot in his factory, and pay for it either in cash or in glass, as be prefers, THE PEODUCT IN A BUNCH. The manufacturers, individually, will then enter into contracts with the corpora tion, binding themselves to sell their entire prodnct, to wit, for a period of 13 months, and of course will subject themselves to lia bility for damages if they sell to any other person or corporation. The proposed cor poration will then, having thus obtained control of the entire window glass product, proceed to fix a price list, in which there shall be no variation whatever. They will sell at about 2 per cent off foi cash, or take notes for 30, 60 or 90 days, and will im mediately turn the proceeds of their sales over to the manufacturers either in the form of cash or notes. The corporation will probably be formed in Illinois, because the fees and taxes are much lower, and the laws much more favorable for carrying out a scheme of this kind, but as already annonnced in The Dispatch, it will have its head quarters and principal office in the city of Pittsburg. The chief advantage of the scheme above, briefly outlined is that tha manufacturers going into it do not losa their individual existence, They will all go on making glass as before, and turning out as large a product as they can, and will be paid, of course, for all the goods they can turn out. can't lose kuch. The price to be paid to each manufact urer by the corporation will be the same, the rate to be determined by a scale to ba nereaiter nxea. xne snortne&t of the con tract 13 months permits the individual manufacturers to drop the scheme in case they find it cannot be successfully worked, and to come ont without any very serious loss, and, while the corporation will not have so firm a grip on its individual mem bers as the United Glass Company has, it is believed that its hold will be sufficiently strong to keep the individual firms to gether. The plan on which theUnited Glass Com pany is formed, as everybody knows, is that each manufacturer going into it conveys his plant to it out and out, and takes a certain amount of stock in return. Ic that way each of the 18 firms composing it became part and parcel of it, and it is absolutely impossible for any one of them to compete with it, or back out of his agreement with it, or even to make any serious opposition to any course that the majority of the stock holders may determine upon. With the proposed new corporation any manufacturer may, at any time, break his contract with it and sell his goods in the open market. VALIDITT OP THE CONTRACT. The most serious inconvenience that can happen to him in consequence will be a suit brought by the corporation to recover dam ages for breach of contract, in which he will have the sympathy of the court which is often a very important advantage and, be sides, he could make a very strong defense on the ground that the contract, in view of all the attendant circumstances, was against public policy, and, therefore, not capable of being enforced. .It is understood that all of the Pittsburg' firms, which were represented at the meet ings here on September 2 and 3, signed an agreement to enter into the scheme pro vided that the consent of all other firms west of the Alleghenies could be obtained. If the consent of all cannot be had, of course, the agreement does not bind anybody. The gentleman above referred to, who is excep tionally well informed in regard to the mat ter, says that the new corporation will ba organized ana the scheme put into effect, even if as large a proportion'as 20 percent of the manufacturers refnse to go into it. THE COMBINE NEEDED. "The desire of the leading firms for a steady market is so great," said he, "that I believe they will iorm this combination even if no more than 75 per cent ol the whole number joins them." "What will be done about those who do not go into it, then?" he was asked. "Nothing at all. Thcircompetition will have a tendency to break the scale of prices established by the combination, but there is no help tor it. The union of all large man ufacturers will greatly strengthen the mar ket irrespective of what some of the smaller ones may do." "How do the jobbers regard the proposed combination?" "It seems to strike tbem favorably. Colonel James H. Bice, of Chicago, waa present at the meetings on September 2 and 3, and my understanding is that he was sat isfied to see the arrangement go through. Mr. Rice is Chairman of the Western Job bers' Association, which includes all those in Chicago, Cincinnati, St Paul and the West, and is one of the most active men In it- The jobbers ought to be well satisfied with the scheme. It will give them a fair discount below the prices charged to other purchaser, which tbey do not always have under the existing ar rangement, and will give them the im portant advantage of a steady market. The corporation .will, of course, have its sales men in the field, bnt they will not be per mitted to sell below the scale of prices, and hence the jobber can compete with them on even terms."
