"William H. Andrews, Chairman of the Kepublican State Committee, has issued an address to the members of his party in which, among other things, he says: The Pennsylvania campaign of 1S9U will pass into history as one wholly devoted on the part ol the Democratic candidates and leaders to personal abuse or theRepuDlican candidates and leaders. This plan of campaign was de liberately formed in New York, and it is to this hour under the direction of the New York leaders, and almost wholly in the interest of Mr. Cleveland. His faction dictates the coun sels of his party, and every effort is cent in the direction of another nomination for himself ,r.nd another crusade in favor of free trade. Effort to Arouse Factional reeling;. That clement of the Democracy, vhicb.ucder the leadership of Randall, believed in a tariff for revenue with incidental protection, was at tacked by the Cleveland administration. Its State Chairman, in the person of Dallas San ders, was defeated by the use of the money of the millionaire William L. Scott and liberal promises of offleo by Cleveland, and since the entire orcanizition has been directed in the line of studied assaults upon the American sjs tem of protection and constant advance toward free trade. Recall the factional strife which brought this result how Mr. Harnty, now one of the bosses of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, be trayed bis friend Randall and turned all the machinery of the postofllce of Philadelphia against his political patron; how Cadwallader did the same with the Custom House; how only Colonel Gcrkcr and 3Ir. Fox remained trne to the interests and views of Sir. Randall. These heads were too noble for thjo ax, but thousands of other fell oeciuneHuey blocked Clccland's pathway to tree trade. The leaders or the Cleveland faction in Philadelphia were Pattison, Cassidy and Singprly, and it was at the bidding of this trio of bosses that all who opposed the free trade plan were sacrificed. Objects to Fer-onal Issues. It is this trio which has accepted and are car rying out the New York plan intended to cap ture Pennsylvania in 1S90 upon the personal issues, so that all the world may point to the fact that the mother of the tariff has rejected her ofk-prmg. If the Republican majorities are reduced thu will ue the cry. The recent great battle in Congress had its meaning and it should be made so plain by all Republicans unto all Republicans that none may misunderstand it. The first protective liattle was for the administrative bill which prevents all frauds upon the customs: the second, for the McKinley bill which shows a more complete adaptation of the sjstem of protection than any measure ever before con ceived. Every free trade influence was arrayed against it and "O desperate did its enemies become that they invitPd and received the protest of foreign nations. Unable to deceive American senti ment tlicy aroused the hostilities of foieign rixalsm our home markets. More than this the Democratic minority deliberately planned a scheme to filibuster the measure to death if possible, and failing that to cause such a pro longed delay that their friends the importers could be enabled to forestall for months the market for American manufacturers. National licut of the Struggle. "We see. first, et ery effort to pi event protec tion; next, cery effort to flank it; finally every effort to vitiate it for snch a length of time as will enable the advocates of free trade to pre pare for renewed agitation of the subject and for new assaults and appeals for modification or repeal Herein all can plainly see the national bent of struggle to capture Pennsyl vania in 1S9U. It is the hope of importers every where and they are contributing liberally to the personal campaign inaugurated by the local tiio of slander. There is a New York organization of like character. The special object of its assault is Senator Quav, simply because he is one of the acknowledged Kepublican leaders. Every charge against him is false, and no man living will rise and say that he has personal knowledge of their truth. Jlen are hired to circulate these bitter scandals, and the Pharisaical part of the Pennsylvania outfit is busy searching for men andlibcrallj paying them for giving circulation and countenance to statements the truth of which tbej have no personal knowledge of whatever. Men who do this dishonor Ameri can manhood. The State trio of Democratic bosses reserves for its special work assaults upon the character of Senator Delamater. and has invited the aid of a few men u ho have been notoriously disap pointed in aspirations far too high for their ouserts. Kiery Charge lias Keen Met. The slime -of slander has been spread over tne State, in the liopo of shaking the confi dence of the Republicans in their candidate for Governor. He has met every charge, but as rapidly as he meets them new'ones are in dented and they will be invented until the end. Characterless men have been suborned and they will try to earn the money of importers contributed for this purpose. The truth was net cr yet able to travel as fast as the lie, and the lie which has gold at us heels surpasses its usual speed. Tne time for defense and denials should pass. Thej have been made complete, and conspir acies to libel have teen thoroughly cstab-i.-hed. These conspiracies are the natural result of Jfattison's invitation to his party to make this campaign a personal one and to thus obscure every national and State issue. In no other way could he get even the vote of his own party, and there are grave doubts of his getting it as it is. Few of the many Demo cratic soldiers of the Union will vote for him after his veto of their burial bill and his con stant vetoes of the measures projected by a Republican Legislature tor their benefit. Benevolent men who see in our State chanties beneficent institutions will reject him for his crnel want of consideration to their just claims. Pattison Again Called a Demagogue. Men who witnessed the low demagogy of his pretentious walk to the inauguration will say ho is too narrow to sit in the Executive chair of this great Commonwealth. The blunder of his executive session, called for the sole, though secret pnrpose of wiping out the Congressional district of Mr. Randall, cost the State moro than half a million, and was bnt a part of the general plan to at least commit the Democratic organization of Pennsylvania to all of the pur poses of the free traders. Not one of the candidates on the State ticket has yet dared to avow his Democratic princi ples, and their general pnrpose is simply to de ceive Republicans without disgusting Demo crats. Mr. Wallace had such little sympathy with this scheme that he refused to promote it, and would not now bejin accord with the pres ent plan If he did not see in it a chance to capture the Legislature, secure an election to the United States Senate and a reapnortlon ment of the Congressional and Legislative dis tricts, so that tho gerrymander of Ohio may be repeated in Pennsylvania and our Republicans robbed of f nlly half the representation which they now enjoy. Thai ill be the result of any surrender upon our part. "No," says the Mugwump, who is almost In variably a free trader, "Pattison was elected in 1SS2 and Blaine carried the State in 18S1." Iteaier "Would Have Saed Blaine. Onr answer is that if Beaver had been elected in 1SS2 all the election villainies usual to New York could not have couuted out Blaine in 18S4, and so now with Delamater and the entire State ticket. The safety of the McKinlcy bill is assured for at least a decade, the Republican majorities can be maintained in both Houses of Congress, and a Republican President can be safely elected in 1S92, and the best hopes of the party realized. A break in Pennsylvania may mean the loss of all, and the man who permits personal prejudices, engendered In many in stances Dy pam agents. In otners Dy tnose wno would ask the world to shoulder their revenges, commits a tolly too great lor comprehension. Tho folly will not find the ignorance upon which it must feed within the ranks of our great party, and one which has seen many of its heroes maligned Lincoln shamelessly tra duced as a baboon Grant denominated a butcher Logan an ignoramus Garfield parad ed as a bribetaker and so on through a cata logue too long and too nasty to command de cent consideration. The slanders against our chief standard-bearer, all denied, all disproved, are no longer worthy of notice. Let us remand them to the past and stamp them into the dirt from which they sprang and where thev be long, and let us thus stamp all future lies and forgeries, for to our knowleage more are on the way. Let us face the enemy without fear, answer their invective with fresh assault and push on to a victory like unto that given to Hartrantt in 1872, to Hoyt in 1878 and to Beaver in 18S6, when similarly assailed and with courageous purpose and ever-closing ranks we can and will do even better.

The Ex-Senator RepeatsHis Charges Against Delamater, "With Additional Evidence The Odell Story Circumstantially Denied A Great Crowd. ISPECIAL TELEGKAM TO THE DISPATCII.I Blossburo, October 1C Hon. Lewis Emery, Jr., delivered an anti-Delamater speech at the Opera House to-night to one of the most enthusiastic audiences that has assembled in Tioga county for years. The Opera House has a capacity ot 1,500, and was, despite a hard rain, filled to overflow ing. The miners of Blossburg, Morris Bun, Fallbrook and Arnot came in by the hun- areas on special trains, ana farmers drove in from 14 miles around. Hundreds were unable to gain admittance, but the enthu- siasm on the street was as wild as on the interior. Henry Holland an old and highly rt spected Independent of 1882, was Chairman of the meeting. He made a sharp and in cisive preliminary speech, which was vociferously received. In the course of Emery's remarks he reiterated the charges against Delamater, and as he reaffirmed his willingness to go into the courts and prove what he said, his hearers went wild. He took up the statement that Delamater made in which he said that Emery had offered to pay $5,000 to one Odell lor evi dence, and refuted it with two letters from ex-Senator Humes, who acted as his attorney in the Odell matter. He completely ex ploded the story that Humes told Odell that it he would go to Crawford and work up evidence against Delamater he could get more thousands from Delamater now than be did hundreds in 18S7. He no longer hampered himself with X, Y and Z, but used the names and defended his witnesses, and the speech was the most effective and telling yet delivered. Emery left on a special for Butler, where he speaks to-morrow evening. A CHALLENGE TO DELAMATER To Meet Ex-Governor Pattison Upon the Platform in Joint Debate. iepecxal telegbax TO TIIE dispatch.!

BIG Dilatory Tactics of Democratic Congress men Rebuked by the Speaker Ad dresses by Major McKinley and General Alger. TKPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.! Wooster. October 16. Although the rain began to fall early this morning and continued all day, it did not deter thousands from gathering into this city to hear Major McKinley, Hon. T. B. Reed and General Alger discuss the issues of the day. It was just 2 o'clock when ihe curtain of the Opera House went up and Chairman Hon. M. L. Smyser introduced Speaker Beed to the largest and most enthusiastic mass meeting ever held in Wooster. It was lully five minutes before the enthusiasm had subsided so that the distinguished orator of Maiue could be heard. Ho began with a compli mentary review of McKinley's career, ond paid a tribute to his ability as a statesman. Referring to the Democratic obstruction tactics in Congress, Mr. Beed said: What is the use when you elect a member of Congress It" he will not act? What is the use of having a majority In Concress when the minority are going to control the tally? "We have tried both svstems. and the Question for you to decide is which you like best. Both parties hare been skulking in this fashion for 35 years, and to say that it is a practice un worthy of the representive body of the Amer ican people, is true, and after all they are the ones to blame. It rests with you whether the American Government is conducted on busi ness principles, or whetheryou shall lapse back into the delightful condition in which wo have so often found ourselves. The last effort which the Democrats made in the Houe to obstruct business was to leave the building, to have the Democratic side leoresented by empty seats. Your Democratic representatives by that act put discredit on you. I believe the Democratic party is going to play some part in this election in favor of righteousness. They do not want their representatives to run away from their duty, and that is one of the issues of the cam paign, and I believe you are going to decide it right. The speaker declared the tariff bill to be an American institution through and through, and that it would give prosperity to the people ot the country; that before long the Democrats wonld insist that it was a measure prepared by Democrats and passed by Democratic votes. After Mr. Reed concluded, General Alger and Major McKinley addressed the meet ingand were received with great enthusiasm. This evening another meeting was addressed by the distinguished visitors. The students of the university called on the monarch of the gavel and presented him with a beauti fully engraved silver gavel. BOYALLY RECEIVED.

PITTSBLTSG, FRIDAY, TESTS ARE TOO HARD; Naval Steel Makers Say They C6uld Supply Ship Builders Sooner ' " ' i IP REQUIREMENTS "WERE EASIER. Pittslrargcrs and Others al Washington Consider Flans to PUSH WORK ON UNCLE SAM'S VESSELS Truy Siys the Government Will Not Lower the Freest Standard. IPnOM A STATP COUKESFONDENT. "Washington, October 16. The con ference of shipbuilders and steel makers and Navy Department officials to-day to talk over the reasons for the great delays con tinually occurring in naval contracts brought together representatives of about 00 leading firms from all parts of the country. It has been apparent for some time tha' there has not been as much progress made in the building of the new navy as there should have been, delays of months fre quently occurring that had no apparent necessity, and in various ways it was indi cated that what was needed was a more thorough understanding between the three factors interested the Government, the builders, the material men a more gen erally homeogenous union of these elements so as to produce the best results possible. This condition of affairs and Secretary: Tracy's desire to have the work of naval construction pushed forward as rapidly as possible, led to to-day's conference. NAVAL MATTERS CONSIDERED. The conference was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Saley. The other representa tives of the department present were Captain Montgomery Sicard, President of the Steel Inspection Board, and Lieutenant Curtis, a member of the board; Engineer in Chief George "W. Melville, Chief Naval Con structor T. D. "Wilson, Naval Constructors Hichbom, Mintonye and Bowles and Assist ant Constructors Nixon and Taylor. Secretary Saley dampened the hopes of most of the constructors present by saying at the opening of the meeting that it had been called merely to talk over the delays in thej delivery ot material, and ascertain if some suggestions could not be made which Would remedy some of them. He declared that the Government would not in any way change the present requirements, or lower the stand ard in any way. The department wanted the advice and suggestions of the contract ors as to methods by which the work could be expedited, and nothing more was to be expected from the meeting. DELAYED EOE "WANT OP STEEL. The shipbuilders were then heard from and each of them recited his experience in getting steel. Irving Ssott, of the Union Iron "Works, San Francisco, was the first speaker, and he virtually stated the case for all the shipbuilders. He told of the frequent and vexatious delays to which his firm had been subjected in obtaining steel frames and construction and boiler plates, and more especially the great delay in get ting large steel castings such, as stem and stern posts and engine bed plates. "When complaint was made to the steel makers the usual reply was that the material had been made but had been rejected by the Government inspectors. He thought the in spectors ought to be allowed to use their judgment" to some "extent, 'ami- that a little more latitude might be allowed. He referred to one case in which a plate was re jected on account of a slight flaw in its center, when in working into the ship the whole central part of the plate would have been cut out. He believed that the steel castings should be altogether supplanted by forgingsin naval work. Much the same ground was covered by each of the other ship builders present, as follows: SHIPBUILDERS PRESENT. Charles Cramp, Philadelphia; F. B. Dubosque, of the Samuel L. Moore & Sons' Company, Elizabethport, N. J.; General Hyde, Bath Iron "Works; W. T. Malster, Columbian Iron Works, Baltimore; Harri son Lormg, of Boston, and Mr. Palmer, of W. F. Palmer, Jr., & Co., New York. Then, after a recess at noon, the steelmakers, on whom the shipbuilders had placed the burden of the delay, were called on, the rep resentatives ot casting companies speaking first Mr. Wetherill, of the Standard Steel Cast ing Company, ot Thurlow, Pa., where most of the naval castings have been made, be lieved the remedy lay in slightly easing the requirements. His firm had on hand at present a number of engine bed plates that he considered very fine castings, but thev had been rejected by the Government on ac count ot very slight defects in no way affect ing their strength. Mr. Petree. of the Mid vale Steel Company, and the representative oi the Solid Steel Company, of Alliance, O., were satisfied with the specifications, and thought one great reason ior delay was that much of the work was novel in its character. The rolling mills were next called on, and Mr. Paige, of Parke Bros. & Co., Pitts burg, was the first speaker. He made out a very strong case in favor of changes in in spection methods. "VIEWS OP A PITTSBUKGER. The speaker said his firm was ready to quit, and would take no moie naval work at any price unless the specifications were radically amended and the present inspec tion methods changed. He told of a large lot of steel from his firm which had passed the Government inspector at the mill and bore his official stamp, but was rejected at the Norfolk Navy yard, and his firm was compelled to pay the freight both ways. He thought the present system of inspection retards the work. If practical steel in spectors were sent to the mills, instead of purely theoretical men, better results wonld be obtained. The steel inspectors were not competent when first ordered to the duty and, as a rule, as soon as they learned a little about their business they were ordered away. The in spector usually came around when he felt like it, maybe" in a day after a heat was ready to be inspected or maybe in a week. Maybe he was off playing tennis or some thing else when he ought to be at the mills. GOOD STEEL REJECTED. Mr. Taylor, who represented the Linden Steel Company, of Pittsburg, called atten. tion to some heats tnrned out bv the Linden Company, which were within the law, but without the specincation he would like to see the margin of the reauirements reduced. He believed some of the steel rejected by the inspectors was really better than some of that accepted. In reply to a question from Mr. Scott he said the unnecessary require ments of the specifications increased the price at least 33 per cent and delayed the de livery greatly. Mr. Felton, of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, of Steelton, Pa.j where hull rivets are being made, attributed the delay in rivets to the great difficulty in getting the required per cent of elongation combined with the required tensile strength. As long as the present specifications are in force he declared 60 per cent of the steel rivets will be rejected. Colonel Porter, representing the Spang Steel and Iron Company, of Pitts burg, said his firm had .received no naval contracts in two years, for the reason that they had bid about three timess much as they would for commercial worKT EXPERIENCED INSPECTORS JIEEDED. The Colonel believed a reduction in the tensile strength requirements would give a better steel for ship building. Every plate OCTOBER 17. 1890. that left their mills was inspected and bore their stamp, which was a guarantee of its quality. Any mill could turn out double the amount of mercantile steel that they could produce under the Government speci fications. Mr. Sargeant, of Oliver Bros., of Pitts burg, said the rreat need was for inspectors of more experience. When his firm first took up Government work 80 per cent of the output was rejected, but the rejections had now been reduced to 10 per cent. Superin tendent Losch, of the Carbon Iron Company, Pittsburg, had no fault to find with theinspection except the surface inspection, which magnified insignificant defects. "W. H. Jaqnes," of the Be'thlehem Iron Works, said the delay in turning out large forgings at that institution was largely due to the in completeness of their plant, but that they were constantly getting into better shape. Several other gentlemen spoke briefly, and Secretary Saley closed tho conference by thanking the gentlemen for their presence and their suggestions, which he said would be carefully considered by the department. RESULT OP THE CONFERENCE. Carnegie, Phipps & Co., of Pittsburg, weie expected to be represented at the con ference, but they sent a letter stating that they were unable to send any one, but they were perfectly satisfied with the present specifications and inspection methods. It will be a week or moro before the de partment'eomes to any conclusion, in regard to tne arguments presented at the cpmerence. but it is likely that some 'good.resnlt will come from it, at least in the yiaffof more carefully selecting steel iuspeetorg,-and giv ing them more latitude in wbichTto exercise their judgment liraHTNER.

RUSSIAN GKAIX OUTDONE BI AMERICA' s CiVle Dispatches of Interesting Old WorM. OecniTUees in tha TBT DtntLAP'B CABLE COMPAKT. Paris, October 16. Mr. "William O'Brien was seen this afternoon by a report er at the residence of his father-in-law, D. Raffalovitch. He had just finished his luncheon, and was sitting in the splendidly appointed study. After the usual intro ductory greetings, the reporter asked: ''How did you succeed in leaving Ire land?" "It was not an easy matter," replied Mr. O'Brien, "for Mr. Dillon and I were closely watched. The Government was making the trial drag, because it hoped in that way to prevent our going to America. "We baffled its plans, though, by leaving in spite of them. No, I will not tell you the name of the port from which we embarked, nor that of the boat which conveyed us to France, for such information might affect those who assisted in onr escape." "Will you tell me, Mr. O'Brien, when you really sailed?" O'BRIEN AND DILLON WATCHED. "On Wednesday of last week at midnight a small rowing boat conveyed us in the darkness to a sailing yacht which was lying oS waiting for us. At sea the night was fBB7- We knew we were closely watched, and in order to elude the vigilance of the de tectives who might be pursuing us, we kept a course close in the shore, but even then we had to be careful to avoid the coast guards. On Sunday evening a boat from Falmouth came alongside. Her crew questioned ours respecting the character and destination of our craft. We believed the boat was sent to capture us, and we felt that we were lost Suddenly the mist began falling, and this enabled us to escape." "Why did you not make a faster pas sage?" "We found the navigation very difficult because almost throughout the trip there was a dead calm and our sails were useless, but we succeeded finally in losing sight oi the English coast. "When making for France an English cutter, the name of which we did not ascertain, followed us. Our captain, who was not acquainted with the Cherbourg roads, took the wrong course and carried us to Guernsey, whence we had to retrace our path. At last we arrived at Cherbourg and came on this morning to Paris. Anything else I might say would be mere invention." BOUND FOR AMERICA NEXT WEEK. He and Mr. Dillon start at the end of next week for America. Mr. O'Brien's wife is expected here to-night and will go at once to her father's house. In spite of Mr..O!Brien's reserve hout the incidents of the voyage, details 'received from Cher bourg say that the party on board the yacht suffered greatly from lack of food and water, as the boat was quite unprepared for so long a trip. A cable dispatch from Queenstown says: The police authorities do not give the slightest credence to the report that Mr. Dil lon and Mr. O'Brien landed at Cherbourg, and are continuing the search with renewed vigor for the fugitives. The town is still swarming with detectives and policemen, who boarded the four transatlantic liners, in cluding the Majestic of the "White Star line, and Inmau Company's City of Chester, which left to-day for America, The search was, of course, fruitless. BAD FOB RUSSIA. Her Grain Exports Knocked Out by Other Nations. BY DUNLAP'S CAELE COMPAHT. Odessa, October 16. The marked and steady decrease of the export trade in Russian grain is attracting the serious at tention of the Government. The total ship ments from all the Russian ports for the first six months of the present year only reached 257,000,000 poods, the pood being equal to 36 pounds, as against 310,000,000 poods in 1889 and 346,000,000 in '88. In view of these facts, the Russian economists are awakening to the fact that American, Indian and Egyptian grain are d-iving the Russian product out of the market and is depriving their conntry of its former title of the granary of Europe. "While this decrease is acknowledged to be progressing, nothing is being done to en courage other industries to take its place and the prospect for the future of the al ready wretchedly poor and oppressed peasantry, who have barely held their own while Bnssia was still at the head of grain selling nations, is dark indeed.

"When the religious portion of the Socialist programme was reached, HerrBloss spoke in ODUosition to changing the section in any way. He was followed by Herr Livlaender, who advo cated the excision of the religions clause on the ground that it always caused adverse criticism and was the origin of many attacks upon the Socialist party. Herr Schwarz deprecated a wholesale secession from the Church. Herr Metzner demanded the excision from the programme of the provision relating to co-operative so oieties. He said the agitation looking to a wholesale secession from the church dis gusted him, and he believed it would have no practical result Frau Steinbeck demanded the restriction of all labor to six hours a day. Herr Lieb knecht closed the debate. He declared the development of social democracy was a necessity and was not to be got rid of by cannonballs. Herr Liebknecht introduced a resolution, which was adopted, declaring that the party programme agreed upon in Gotham in 1875, however excellent it may have proved auring a struggle of lo years, especially during the operations of the anti-Socialist law, is no longer in touch with the times, and that the conferees, in view ot this fact, instructs a committee to submit to the next congress the party programme as revised by the committee. This draft will be pub lished three months before the congress meets in order to give time for a thorough examination of the new programme. ANOTHER OCEAN RECORD BROKEN.

Secretary Blaine has been informed by the Minister of the United States at St Petersburg in regard to the various reports of the alleged persecu tion by the Russian Government of the Hebrews living in that country, that upon a thorough investigation it is a source of special gratification to be able to get not only the denial of the Russian Government, butof the Hebrews themselve,and confirm atory testimony that these injurious allega tions are baseless. He goes on to say that it appears that a statement recently appeared in the London Times, stating that despite the disavowal of the Russian Government, some COO or 600 Hebrew families residing at Odessa had been summarily notified that they must im mediately abandon their homes, and in fact had already been expelled. Soon after this publication appeared the British embassy at St. Petersburg called upon the British Consul at Odessa, to make a fnll in vestigation of the same.

Mr. Adams next introduced Mayor Gour lev. who said: To me it seem3 like a work of snperersgation to go through the formality of extending a welcome to this city, on behalf of tbfs citr. to the representatives of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Pittsburg is one of the great centers of labor and industry in tni3 country, and her people are in sympathy with the engineers. Her people have in all times extended the hand of welcome to the repre sentatives of labor of all classes and conditions, and it has never.been more cordially extended nor with more sincerity than at the present time.
