DELAMATER TIS1TS CHESTER COTJKTI. in TrfrpiH-i-i Kov Pmat to t Bez&g Coven ties of tin Peoiayrruai Leagru of BtpiMiran Oils, FOLITICS THEOUGHOUT THE STATE AND RATION The returns of the Maine election are scarcely in, and already a new campaign has commenced. This one is entirely inside the Republican ranks. It is now openly admitted that both Secretary Blaine and Speaker Eeed are candidates Jor the Presi dental nomination. The struggle for supremacy in the State will be an interest ing one. rEFECIAL TELEGHXM TO TnS BISPATCH.1 Augusta, Me., September 22. Many things have happened since it was first an nounced in The Dispatch months ago that the Plumed Knight was about to once more take an active part in politics. Three things are now perfectly clear to the people of Maine: First That Mr. Blaine is now in the field for 1892. Second That Speaker Beed has deter mined to try for the Bepublican Presidental f nomination for '92; and. Third That the differences between Mr. Blaine and Mr. Beed are to be fought out in open battle from this time on, and that the supremacy of Mr. Blaine in Maine politics is to be tested. Monarch of All lie Surveyed. It is hard for any person who has not lived in Maine to appreciate what all this means. It is difficult to realize what it is to Jive in a community where the wish of an individual has for years and years been ab solute law; where ambitious aspirants for office have stepped aside because Mr. Blaine bad another candidate; where an unknown private citizen has been made Governor of the State because Mr. Blaine named him; where old-line Bepublicaus have been de nied renomination because they disobeyed orders, and where the Legislature has awaited the nod of one man (before it dared to make a bill a law. This has been the situation in Maine ever Bince the Morrill party went out of power. Mr. Blaine has been the hope and pride of the State, and his elevation to the Presi dency has meant the realization of the dreams of thousands of its citizens. Men who are now contenting themselves with such State offices as have been within his power to give bave'longed for the time when the whole length andbreadfh of the Fed eral patronage should be opened to their grasp with Mr. Blaine as Chief Executive. To antagonize him meant to dissipate all hopes for the future. Why They Turn to Reed. But Mr. Blaine has tried and lost He is now advancing in years and his friends are losing faith. Just at this juncture a new staff of hope has arisen, and with mingled feelings of State pride at Maine's second distinguished eon and loyalty for the old leader the people have turned their eyes on Speaker Beed. All this Mr. Blaine sees and understands. He has held the party in Maine in his grasp because no other man has had the courage to dispute his supremacy. But the time has come now when Mr. Reed feels equal to the strucsle. and the first note of warning to the Blaine-Manley-liale faction to keep their hands off was sounded by Congressman Boutelle in tlie leading Republican organ of Eastern Maine. Mr. Blaine is still at his summer home at Bar Harbor, but his stay this season has been by no means a vacation. He has anx iously watched Speaker Reed's progress in the House of Representatives, and he has formulated his reciprocity scheme the first notification, the people of Maine say, that he is unmistakably in line for 1892. Blaine In Perfect Physical Health. "Whatever may have been his condition in Italy after the chill he received in the St. Gothard Tunnel in the summer of 1887, there can be no doubt of his robust physical condition at the present time. He has not aged in appearance since the memorable campaign ol 18S0, and whatever truth there may have been in former reports of the peculiar pallor of his face, they are cer tainly not true now. Mr. Blaine impresses the observer with the fact that he is a man but little beyond the prime of life. He is alert, quick in his movements and converses with the almost nervous energy of an enthusiast. His ut terances are punctuated with frequent ges ticulation and his conversation is not the languid chat of a person in ill health. Mr. Blaine came here this summer for his Vacation. But he brought with him all the executive cares of the State Department, He is as actively in command of the Foreign Bureau at the present moment, and' has been all summer, as he could possibly have been had he remained in Washington through the hot mouths. An Old troggte Revived. The trouble between Speaker Reed and the Blaine contingent is not a new one. and it hM been an open secret ia Maine politics I ever since the death of Lot M. Morrill. At the time of his death, Senator Morrill was the Collector of Customs at Portland, and the question arose as to who should be his successor in -the most valuable Federal office in the State of Maine. "Far run nast ithas&ea considered that both the post-- mastership and the collectorship of Port land belonged to the Congressman from the First district. But after the death of Collector Morrill arrangements were made by Senators Hale and Frye and'Mr. Blaine himself, -who was then, as now, in the swim at Washington, to arrange the matter without any consulta tion with Reed, who represented the dis trict. The candidate of the Blaine party was Fred N. Dow, a son of the famous Gen eral Heal Dow, the Prohibitionist. Dow had always been a hard-working politician and had done good service for the party. This high-handed policy angered Reed greatly. Ko Hand Lifted to Help Him. It was such a well-known fact that Reed was to have no assistance in his recent cam paign from Manley, "who controls the Re publican machine at Augusta, that it was really thought at one time that Reed.single handed, might be defeated in his district. Manley knew this perfectly well, and so did Mr. Blaine, who was quietly summering at Bar Harbor, and who, by the way, did not take the trouble to vote. They determined to let Reed fight his own battle, and if he had lost there would have been no regret in the Blaine faction. Reed knew this perfectly well, and know ing that the machine at ' home was in the hands of the enemy, be appealed to the .National Republican Committee for help. At the last moment it was agreed that Reed should open a brief but brisk campaign in the First Congressional District, and that be might have Henry Cabot Lodge and Mc Kinley to help him stump the doubtful towns. Besides this, the National Committee agreed that Reed should have 525,000 on the Friday morning preceding election. Lodge was sent out ahead to start the campaign, and Reed and McKinley came down with a flourish of trumpets on the eve of election. 823,000 From the National Committee. The 525,000 arrived in Portland on Friday afternoon and faithful agents of Reed left on evening trains for Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick iad a few of the, doubtful towns where it was necessary to bolster up the party with more than eloquence. A portion of the money was of course left in Portland for the business at the polls. One of the results of Reed's unexpected victory was the opening up of another Republican family row. Congressman Boutelle suddenly began abasing" the Blaine-Manley faction and nailed his flag to Reed's masthead. This is rather a remark able change of base when it is remembered that Boutelle was the man whom Blaine had selected as the recipient of his famous telegram at the last Republican National Convention forbidding the use of his name as a Presidental candidate. Boutelle for the first time openly com ments on the row between Blaine and Reed, and points to various tricks and subterfuges of Joe Manley in his efforts to belittle Reed. The secret of Congressman Boutelle's sudden change of base liesin the fact that he has po litical aspirations for the United States Senate and intends to make a fight for Sena tor Hale's seat when the latter's term of of fice expires "in 1892. With these prelimi nary movements the Presidental battle is already opened. dipped nr-caiL. -. -i Norwood' Bitter Pea Invites a Scathing TOtter to Governor Cordon. Atlanta, September 22. The bitter and relentless personal war between Hon. Thomas M. Norwood, prospective Alliance, candidate for the Senate, and Governor Gordon has reopened. In a speech at Decatur Gordon denounced Norwood as a demagogue, and charged him with speak ing ont oi tne way because ot sore eyes. Norwood retorted in one of the severest letters possible. He addressed his letter to "My Dear John Boycott Gordon; accuses him of boasting of his bravery; says he is weak-headed and weak-minded; -a easiness schemer, a "mulberry seller," whose mental defects have led him to get up a variety of skin games and South Sea bubbles to empty the pockets of friends. Further on he says: "Stick to the war. Your Confederate record alone has carried you into big offices four times, and has paid you 72,000, but you deserted the good peo ple of Georgia to serve a railroad for less money. Your leaning is toward railroads. Yon throw away your Senatorship to become the hired, but nse'less attorney of a railroad. You got up a railroad scheme, made a large sum of money, gambled it off in Wall street and mined your confiding friends." This and much more bitterness Norwood hurls at Gordon. Governor Gordon, in an interview, de clares he will not answer Norwood, and pre fers to leave the matter to a more impartial reply from the people of Georgia. Mean while he will continue his canvass.

The senator made a brief speecb, in which he referred to the need of Repub lican success, and defined the duty of trne Republicans in order to achieve, the victory which was theirs if they bnt set their faces firmly for the right and against the wrong.

George F. Foster, Finance Minister, in an address delivered at Sherbrooke to-day, said that Canadians had no reason to quar-. rel with the United States for enacting the McKinley bill if they thought it was for their interest to do so. Much as Canada must regret that some plan of reciprocity could not have been substituted in its place, Canada must take this as a great utterance of the Republican party. He admitted that the McKinley bill would temporarily die. turb trade, but be believed it would only divert it into British channels. The Hon.

EEPDBLICAKS CANT GET A QUORUM Bat Decide to Continue the Btrnggle to the Bitter End. THE TAEIFP BILL IN A BAD TASGLB. Senator Qay Looking Aftr Us AppoprUUoa fa Uu Kerr Postcffiee. Prof.. Langston, the colored gentle man from Virginia, is not yet a member of Congress. Tho Democrats obstinately broke a quorum again yesterday, and the Repub licans were unable to secure one of their own. A caucus was held, and it was de cided to attempt no other business until ther case is settled. irKOH A STAFF COEBISPONPZirT. Washington, September 22. Contrary to allxpeetations, the quorum of Republic ans promised on Saturday did not make it self apparent to-day, and, after failing to muster enough to do business bya persistent "call" of the House, an adjournment was taken, and the Republicans went into a council of war to try and find means to get hold of and pnbhsh deserters. Among the absentees to-day were McCormick and Bro sius, of Pennsylvania, both of whom are at home looking after their campaign, bnt it must be said of them that they remained at their post till it became evident nothing would be done until others returned, and they left with the understanding that the moment a quorum could be counted with their attendance they would come on im mediately. why the Republican leaders do not de clare all pairs off and command the return of the absentees under penalty of a heavy fine is apparently a mystery to everybody but those leaders, and it has been more than hinted that those same leaders do not care whether a quorum assembles or not, and are willing that the Langston-Yenable case shall drag along until an agreement is reached on the tariff bill, when the latter measure will be passed, and adjournment reached without further legislation. Whether this be true or not, the most prominent of the Republican members are certainly viewing the sitnation with great equanim ity. This explanation of the matter is rather borne ont than contradicted by the refusal of the caucus this afternoon to adopt any measure more severe than persuasion to induce absent members to return, and the determination expressed to go on with the election contest that is, to "go on" as tbey have been going on, accomplishing nothing. The probabilities are that not only that those members now absent will be allowed to remain away, bnt that others will go, with the understanding that they will ap pear instanter when tbe tariff bill is ready to be voted upon. Then it is possible the vote will be taken on the election case, as there is no thine to do to end it but to get a quorum and call the roll, the previous ques tion being ordered. Lightneb.

In the Senate-to-day the joint resolntion proposing an amendment to tbe Constitution of the United States in relation to the manufacture, importation, exportation, transportation and sale of alcoholic liquors, having been reached on the calendar, Mr. Blaine, who had reported it from the Committee on Edu cation and Labor, called for a vote on it. Mr. Cockrell asked that the report be read. While the report was being read, Mr. Stewart suggested that the reading would occupy too much time, but Mr. Blair thought the Senate might well devote a short time to a subject that was not to be trifled with. The reading of the report having occupied what was "left of the hour assigned to the calendar, no vote was taken on the joint resolntion.

THE TARIFF TANGLE. REPUBLICAN MEMBERS STILL FAR FROM AN AGREEMENT. s Ko Meeting of the Conference CommItte Warn Held Yesterday Became or tbo Radicnl Differences Slrtal Men Threat en lo Defeat the Entire Mcaenre. Washington, September 22. Although a meeting of the Conference Committee on the tariff bill had been called for this morn ing, when the hour of meeting arrived, the Democratic members were notified that there would be no meeting. The reason for the postponement was a desire on the part of the Republican conferees to consult fnrther among themselves npon the points remaining in dispute. It appears that no progress has been made since Saturday morning in the disposition of the sugar, binding twine, bonded period and metal amendments, bnt that these the most im portant matters still open are in snch shape that If an agreement can be reached upon one it will probably also result in agreement npon the others. According to Republican members of the conference, it is impossible to say whether or not a complete agreement can be reached, and p. report made to the House to-morrow, but it is hinted that a report may be made within the next two days that will cover all points of difference that have been adjusted, leaving the Senate and House free to ex press their wishes respecting the matters still open. It is intimated that the metal schedule is the bone of contention. A report was cur rent this morning that the iron and steel men are not satisfied with the concessions made by the Senate conferees, and are de manding the restoration of the rates fixed by the House. They are threatening, it is said, if their demands are not granted, to defeat the bill. The Northwestern Senators inter ested in free binding twine are using their influence with tbe others to place a cent a pound on the article. Some of the inter views between the conferees and these Sena tors have been quite animated. At a late hour to-night it was the confi dent expectation of the Republican con ferees on the tariff bill that on Wednesday, or Thursday at latest, would be witnessed the opening debate on tbe adoption of the conference report and the final passage of the bill by the House. ENGLISH ABM0E NOT IN IT. The French Plate Prove Far (Superior Under a Severe Teir. rsrZCMI. TEXXOBAK TO TUX DISPATCH. 1 Washington, September 22. The steel armor plate tests were completed to-day at Annapolis. To-day's results only strengthen into judgment the opinion invited by Thurs day's firing. Tbe inferiority of English armor to the French material, and inci dentally to American plate, has been estab lished beyond dispute. Whether this view will be accepted by English ex perts remains to be seen. Similar results are said to have been obtained at the European tests, regarding which there has been more or less useless se crecy. Tbe advantages of impartial com parison are denied, since the accounts of the foreign trials come irom prejudiced sources. .Whatever the extent of failure the English armor has experienced heretofore, that na tion has been uninfluenced thereby, and there are those who look for tbe same in difference at the Annapolis tests. While the trials here have been more severe than ever before, and ivhile the demolition of the English platejuay be attributable to this un usual and, to some, unnecessary severity, the fact remains that French armor, in its highest and best estate, proves invulnerable before American ordnance. The trials of Thursday closed after four shots at each of these plates the, Creusot all steel, the Creusot nickel-steel, and the Cammel compound steel. The Creusot steel plate presented a creditable appearance. The four shots had not disturbed the surface of the plate. There were no cracks, no re mote indentures. The damage was local. There were no perforations by the projec tiles. The Creusot nickel plate was also in good condition. There were no cracks, and the evidence ol the attack was confined to the points of impact. The Cammel plate was in a wrecked condition. All tbe pro jectiles had perforated the plate. There were fissures in the lower half, and the upper Quarter was bodily torn out half-way back.

One Case That the Grand. Jury Won't Have to Consider Just Sow. JUDGE WHITE SAYS IT 11USTFT. Bather Peculiar Attempt to Steal a March on a Friendless Boy 2f0T IET COMMITTED FOE COUET TEIAL. Eirry Brtcienrrig? Sired Inn laiietmcit. Esrse-S teaks; An unusual occurrence was yesterday dis covered in time for Judge White to prevent a friendless boy from being deprived of his liberty without a trial. Pending Harry Breckenridge's trial before a magistrate on a peculiar charge of horse stealing, his case was brought before the grand jury. The Court and Assistant District Attorney bad the case strnck off the list upon learning the facts. What, unless it can be explained away, seems to be a high-handed outrage, is told regarding an orphan boy of 18. The story is related as follows: Last Monday or Tuesday a Pittsburg law yer was sent for by a boy in jail named "any Brcckenridge. The boy stated that he i been working for a farmer near Clinton. Jijis county, for six weeks, getting in pay i Xi.ter. which he traded to a man named 0 Vers lor a pony, and that he subse- gv sold the pony for ?20. He had 5 , . it to the farm of a man named A e o , where he was working at the time, au o v he left there, it is alleged, Bom 1 c lo'd Campbell that the a p ad been stolen, and that unless r - - - .. . . he r V" "" ""J " nut..u 6c..ui. troublfc 'f. Accordingly he made an informa against Breckenridge, charging him before 'Squire Matchett, of Findlay township, with horse stealing. The accused was arrested while working on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railway, and being fatherless and motherless, and a waif on the community, he was unable to get bail and sent to jail, it was at first sup posed merely to hold him until a hearing was had. AN APPEAL TO COUET. Armed with this presentation of the case the Pittsbnrg attorney went before Judge White and made a statement. The judge replied that he would release the boy if the lawyer would go on his bond for 300 for bis appearance when wanted. This he did, and notified young Breckenridge to keep him posted as to the time of hearing. On Saturday evening the lawyer received the following telegram: Imperial, Pa September), 1890, 2:30p. jl Hearing continued from Friday until Mon day, by prosecutor, ir.ji. Harbt Bbzckznbitjge: Yesterday morning the attorney who had interested himself in theyonth was astonished to learn that the prosecutor, with his wit nesses, was on hand and the boy's case was up for a hearing by the grand jury. He rushed around until he lound Assistant District Attorney Haymaker, aud imformed him of the state of affairs. Mr. Haymaker supposed that the boy had had his hearing and was regularly held for court, and be as sured the counsel that the case would not come before the grand jury irregularly, 'and it was marked off tbe list for the time being. The attorney states that he does not know that Campbell meant any wrong, but the coming before the errand jury, he thinks. was irregnlar in the highest degree, if, as stated by the boy, the case had not yet been heard by the committing magistrate, the time for which was fixed for yesterday at 1 P. M. HAS NO SHOW AT ALL. As that body only hears one side of a case, of course a defendant has no show at all before it. When the evidence is plain and straightforward, aud on so grave a charge as stealing, it is thought a friendless boy onght to be allowed all the legal lati tude possible in the explanation of the cir cumstances. The story would appear almost incredible, were it not told by one of tbe leading and responsible attorneys at the Allegheny coumy bar, as both the United States and tbe State of Pennsylvania are very explicit as to the rights of persons charzed with crime. In Article 6, of amendments to the Federal Constitution, it is said that "in all criminal prosecutions the acensed shall enjoy tbe right 'to be confronted with the witnesses against him, and to have com pulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor." The State Constitution makers considered this provision of so much importance that they inserted it in the declaration of rights, the foundation on which the superstructure was built. In section 9 of article 1 is found tbe following language: "In all criminal prosecutions the accused hath a right to be heard by himself and hisconnsel, to demand the nature and canse of the accusation against him, tomeetthewitnessesfaceto face, and to have compulsory process for obtain ing witnesses in his favor." Subsequent proceedings may put a better appearance on what now seems highly ir regular, but if mistakes of the kind alleged in this case are to occur much more fre quently than at present, they will furnish a strong argument in favor of the proposition to abolish the office of Justice of the Peace as at present constitnted, and substitute fewer magistrates and have them learned in tbe law. However, there is no irregularity alleged against the Magistrate in the pres ent case. AT THE HEAD OF THE WORLD.
