tried that business since. Voice in the audi
ence. "He'll get a dry hole this year, too."
Anywav. there is no competition in the oil busi
ness. When the Standard savs thumbs up. It's
thumbs up. "When it says thumbs donn, it's
thumbs down. I cannot be jealous then In
business.
DEFEATED BV BOODLE.
In politics I am not jealous. I have made
certain charges and have been defeated by
boodle lor a nomination for Congress. Later,
I baTe been tendered one by Knights of Labor,
Tailors' Union, Fanners' Alliance, with assur
ance of a Democratic endorsement. 1 declined
because I thought the defeat of Delamater of
more importance to the Republican D&rty than
my own nomination to Congress. Next,
when lion. L. F. Watson died I
oflered the Kepnhlican nomination
if I would withdraw from the fight
acainst Delamater. The necessary thing to be
In politics under the boss system was to keep
quiet. Do your own thinking, but don't think
out loud. Voice. "Ah, there." I repeat, I am
not jealous. I am a man with extensive busi
ness interests throughout this State, and in
other States, and I look at this matter from a
business man's point of view.
Mr. Emery then passed to his famous
charges ot April 4 last, and said he would
prove Delamater a briber, perjurer aud po
litical lorcer, some of the most radical
crimes on the calendar. He declared him
self anxious also to prove these charges in
court.
The Eable affidavit. Sheldon affidavit, the
two Kobinson affidavits and the warrant for
the arrest of S. M. Hoag were shown by the
stereopticon, read and cheered.
THE IDENTITT OF X, T, Z.
Passinc to the X. Y. Z business, he said
he supposed they had heard of them. He
had been in this city last week and saw a
colored company carrving a transparency
bearing the legend, "Emery's X, Y, Z."
"Those were Black Diamond coons," said
a voice in the audience. He wanted to
give the names of those persons and he
wanted to say, in answer to the charge that
he had long concealed this information,that
be bad first beard these charges in March,
1890.
The speaker explained fully who Hon. L.
C. Beach. Hon. Homer J. Humes and It.
H. Odell were and their standing in the
community. Beach and Humes, be said,
were better meu than Mr. Delamater, and
more honorable men.
The speaker next read a statement made
by Beach of how Andrews had been elected
State Chairman. It started with the
Billingslev bill. Delamater was to
let it go through the House, and
then take a stand on high grounds
against it in the Senate. In 1887 Dela
mater bad told him. Beach, be was to be the
candidate for Governor in 1890. Beach
then recites how he was employed to work
up the State. In 18SS he had been sent by
Andrews and Delamater to Chicago to work
among the delegates for Quay as National
Chairman against Chris Magee. "While he
was gone Andrews had put 55.000 into
Crawford county to elect himself to the
State Legislature. Later he told him he
had Quay all right; he had his (Quay's)
son appointed to a good place on the pipe
line at Beaver.
KEADT TO TBOVE HIS CHARGES.
Emery said he had names of a large num
ber ot reputable citizens of Crawford county
who would go on the stand and swear to the
truth of the charges against Delamater.
They bad been called - $2 drnnks.
He wanted to say some of them
bad been as honorable members
of the Legislature as Mr. Delamater. Great
cheering greeted this. He hoped he would
be sued. He cited decisions to show the
ground taken that such suit would hare no
standing in court, was not tenable. And i
Delamater would arrest him here he would
stay until Monday to be arrested, aud pro
duce his witnesses in 24 hours vociferous
cheering, provided he does not spirit them
out ol the State. If he wouM arrest him
be would produce a man who had been
offered money to suppress his evidence.
Cries of 'Give it to him."
The speaker said he could take up no
more time, but was answered by a chorus of
"Go on." He said he hadn't put his foot
in it; he knew where he stood. "If he'll
only come at me. Oh! how I'd like to "
This in a voice of suppressed belligerence.
The audience went wild and cheered
mightily.
i DIbFBOVIXC ODEIAS AFrlDAVIT.
The forged conference report aud Hutan's
letters were shown on the screen, the audi
ence making side remarks and enthusiastic
demonstrations. He tbeu passed to the
Odell affidavit and denounced it as an in
lamous lie. To prove this he read the fol
lowing letters in conclusion of his speech:

Hound alter round of cheers was given
for Emery as he thanked the audience for
its attention, and hoped he had some friends
in it. It was a perfect ovation, and the
hard kicker from McKean county retired,
looking gratified with the answer to his
speech.
A BLAST FROM MARSHALL
QUAY AND DELAMATER CALLED DOWN
BY THE LAWYER.
An Appeal to the Young Men to Vote for
I'attUon Introduction of the Tariff Into
the- Campaign Kidiculed Ilia Speech
Loudly Applauded.
"heu the speakers stepped on the stage
"Glorious Old Tom" Marshall was not
among them. Disappointment was ex
pressed on all sides, and some were beard
to ask "where is Marshall?" Later
in the evening be entered the hall,
and sat in the front row. Few knew of his
presence until Senator Emery, toward the
close of his speech, remarked that Mr. Mar
shall was present and would speak next. At
once there were loud cries for the venerable
lawyer, and when the crowd caught a
glimpse of him coming on the stage, they
gave him a great reception. Mr. Marshall
had been in Lawrenceville addressing a
meeting, and this is why he had not been
there from the commencement Without
any introduction he started in his vigorous,
characteristic style, and said:
I've been bore before, gentlemen. I knew
your fathers, of many of you, at least. I was
here when the Republican party was baptized,
Then we put on the banners, free men, free
labor and free lands. We lifted the party from
old party ties, but with ue was the conscience
or the nation.
'OHE BUT POLITICAL- SLAVES.
That party has freed the slave, and to-day
there Is not a slave that tramps the soil, exeep
Quay's slaves. Great cheers. You have
never had a chance to vote for me, and you
never will. I will never shake hands with a
man I don't like.
You are called ou to elect a Governor, and
what should he be. A voice: An honest man.
That is right. One who is not only pure, but
above suspicion: like Cresar's wife, not talked
about, who has Quay put up? Delamater.
When I uw the W. in his nainn f thousrllt it
was for Washington, but bis parents baptized
him Wallace, ureal clieers.J wasnincton
never told a lie. Loud laughter.
When an honorable man makes charges against
him, and invites him to sne him, what does be
sav? "You'ro a liar.' Great cheers. You
can find plenty of men in the penitentiary who
pleaded not guilty.
ICo honest man would stand up before the
people and ay: "I plead not cuilty, vote for
me. The tariff is in danger." Great applause
and cheers. Why, when Pattiion was Gov
ernor, I don't know that the tariff suffered or
the people either, but the great corporation
walked a rhalk line and thieves were not pro
tected. Elect I'attison and there will be no
more fooling with the money of the treasury,
and corporate power will keep in the bounds
of the law. I,
A BLAST FOB BEAVEK.
I don't like this term governor. We have a
very peaceful General to govern us at present,
but be doesn't govern me or Emory. He should
execute tbelaws, but Godknowsheisnotdomg
it now. i Load langhter. lam a Republican
ot the Republicans. I learned it v, hen I sat at
my mother's knee, and at night when 1 heard
my father pray for the freedom of the negro.
I am always amused at the tariff. I am not a
freetrader. Itis not the office of Government
to build up colossal private fortunes, and to
grind the poor. What has Delamater ever
done that he should want to be Governor!
When Fattison retired tho Republican organs
said he was as gooa a Governor as wo ever
bad. If you want anv higher authoilty 1 will
get you bmtins JJroaaax,
Before I came here I met McKinley. He is
fat and prosperous, bntl had to ask him to ex
cuse me, as I had two Independent Republican
meetings to attend. If the election were
held to-night and the honest consciences
of the people prevailed, Delamater
would bo snowed under with thousands
of votes. Why, we had a candidate for Gov
ernor in our own county, Ed. Montooth. Of the
Republicans in this county, they were all for
him, and I want to say that half his delegation
was bought out by Quay when they cot to
Harnsburc.
COMPLIMENTS TO QUAY.
Will you, young man, put Quay's tab around
your neck aud be his serf? What has Quay
doner He is too greedy. First, he served Cur
tin nntil his snn went down. Then ho flopped
to the Camerons until be became as great as
Don, and then he set up for himself. He was
elected to the United States Senate. Will
some paper tell me what great measure
bears the imprint of his genius? We have two
great Senators at Washington, Cameron, the
son of his father, and Quay, the father ot his
son Dick. Half the time Quay is not in the
Senate, and I think w e tmght to thank God
that it is so. Applause. The balance of the
time he wrote letters to secure offices for his
friends. He is a Christian man, tor ho provides
for his own household. Great Applause.
Now then a word to the young men. I wan:
you to say lha you will respect 3 our own man
hood and allow nobody to boss you. Cheers,
I want you young f cllow s to assert yoar free
dom, and vote for an honest man. Three
cheers for Robert E. I'attison.
When Mr. Marshall waved his arm
around his gray locks every man in the
house rose up, and there was one long, loud
cheer for the Democratic candidate. EtAry
and -Mapes were not lorgotten, and the crowd
gave them at the close the greatest ovation
ot the meeting. Men jumped npou the
high stage, and, grabbing Emery's hand,
shook it heartily, aud urged him to keep up
his good work.
QUAY ONTHE RUN.
MR. MAPES SAYS THAT THE SENATOR IS
BADLY FRIGHTENED.
A Scheme to Buy Up Uemocratlo Votes Ex
posed He Declares Philadelphia Is All
Right Predictions That Delamater Will
be Beaten.
When Chairman Mapes, of the Independ
ent movement, was introduced, he made
one of the best speeches he has yet produced
in the campaign. He is an interesting
talker and was listened to with great
attention. He said that Quay
at last was thoroughly frightened and
realized the extent of the revolt. He has
called all his lieutenants about him and is
now moving heaven and earth to elect his
man, Delamater. He referred to a
circular issued by Andrews to
county chairmen, asking them tor
a list of Democratic workincmen
in their bailiwicks with a view to getting
them to vote for Delamater. Mr. Mapes
declared he could not be elected by -Republican
votes, and he felt sure the honest
Democratic workmen could not be bought.
This statement was received with loud cries
of "STo! So!"
Continuing, Mr. Mapes said:
"I hear sometimes, and especially since I
came West to-day, the question anxiously
asked, 'What about Philadelphia?' Take care
of the West and we will take care of Phila
delphia. Roll up jour majorities in these
Western counties, where this revolt is so wide
spread, and we will tafco care ot Philadelphia.
Wo have one of the best organization there
to prevent fraud that has ever been mado in
this State. Detectives arc employed: tbc best
lawjers in the State have been retained. A
largo Mini of money has been pledged, and we
assure j nu that the men w ho pollute the ballot
box there will doit with the penitentiary doors
-taring them in the face. Philadelphia is all
right; we wjll take care of that. Roll up your
majorities here, and when the vote is
counted on elect' on night you will find that
every part of the State has done its duty
nobly, and that it has overthrown finally
and forever Mr. Quay and his rule in tin's State.
Do not be alraid of Mr. Quay's boodle: his
methods are known, bis plaus arc exposed, and
vt hen his netanous methods arc brought into
the broad sunlight of pnblicity tbey lose their
force and danger. The cause and candidates
that have no hope but in boodle may well put
crepe on the door and appoint the day for the
funeral. The cause is already dead and the
candidate defeated, but we wish and earnestly
desire that the defeat shall be a crushing one."
WANAMAKES WILL BE HEBE.

that if Delamater was innocent he should

Major McKinley Discusses the Tariff,
Question to the Delight of
a Large Audience,
BUTNEVKRMENTIONS DELAMATER.
Enthusiastic Republicans Pack Carnegie
Ilall to the Doors to Hear
the Great Ohioan.
HE PULLS FOfi STONE AXD DALZELL
The Ktjor Leaves His Own Ect Campiign fer His Love
of Pittsbarjtn.
A great crowd aud a greater "welcome
awaited Hon. William McKinley at Car
negie Hall last night. It was a grand ova
tion, and, as one stanch Republican re
marked, it was meet that it should be given
a great protectionist in a beautiful building
which protection had made it possible to
build.
Carnegie Hall was packed to the doors by
people who were anxious to hear what the
framer of the great tariff bill had to say in
defense of the instrument which bears his
name. It was an enthusiastic crowd, and
upon the entrance of Mr. McKinley, accom
panied by Colonel W. A. Stone, the hall
rang with the shouts and applause of hun
dreds of Republicans who shouted for the
principles as well as for the man.
The immense organ, under the tonch of
the master hand of Leonard Wales, rang
out the beautiful and soul-stirring strains ot
national airs. One bv one tbey were reeled
off as one great piece of music, changing
tapidly from "My Country 'Tis of Thee,"
which was being produced at the time of the
entrance of the speaker, to "The Star
Spangled Banner," and ending up ou
"Yankee Doodle." As the changes were
made from one to another, the crowd fairly
went wild with enthusiasm, showing their
appreciation of the efforts of the organist
M'KINXEY UNDER TIIE 'WEATHER.
Mr. McKinley has been spending his
time in his own canvass, and nothing but
bis appearand need be offered as evidence
that he has been making a great canvass
against th- odds imposed upon him by the
gerrymandering of the State of Ohio. He
appeared to be overworked by the strain
placed npon him and for that reason greatly
abbreviated his addresj.
During the course of the address and
when Mr. McKinley was dwelling upon the
manifold beauties of a high protective tariff,
an old man arose in the audience. He
was really a distinguished-looking gentle
man. Tall and straight as tbc tabled ar
row, his snowy locks overhanging his
shoulders and shading a splendid bearded
lace. Evidently the old gentleman was a
Republican and an enthusiastic one. He
asked one question: "Mr. McKinley, why
did you not, when framing your tariff bill,
insert a clause placing an import duty on
foreign pauper labor?"
Mr. McKinley This hill was in regard
to articles of commerce and not men. But
I really believe that before many years there
will be an embargo on pauper labor.
This reply was greeted with applause, and
when the old gentleman tried to talk further
he was interrupted, hissed and hooted, and
was compelled to sit down, though not be
fore having declared that bis grandfather
was a Revolutionary soldier, ana as lor hi ni
sei I, he had fought for hi country once and
was willing to do so ac;ain if need be.
DELAMATEH'S 2TAME tJNUTTEKED.
One peculiar feature of the address of Mr.
McKinley was the absence of one name,
that of Mr. Delamater. Not once did that
name pass his lips, and all reference to the
nominee for Governor was so remote as to
be entirely lost in tho depths ot his other
arguments.
On the stage were to be found about 50 of
the prominent Republicans of the two cities.
The Chairman and Secretary of the County
Republican Committee, and Colonel W. A.
Stone were among the number, and there
were numerous others equally as prominent
in the affairs of the party. Chairman Por
ter, of the County Republican Committee,
announced as the President of the meeting,
Mr. John S. Slacle, who was received with
loud applause. Mr. Single said, in his in
troduction of Mr. McKinley:
I had hoped when I promised to preside at
tbismcet!n?toseeinoioynunguien present. I
am an old Republican myself and I see many
old men here to-night, men who werepresent
at the opening of the first catnpaigu in tbe Re
publican party. Kiom the day the Republican
party was born there has not been an election
that I have not gone out to the defense of that
most sacred right of suffrage. 1 laid down tbe
principle or having taken part in the
primaries, 1 always supported the nominees of
the party. I should say nearly always. Oncol
did break my good resolution and voted for a
Democrat. But I sincerely repented of it be
fore tbc day was over. I went home.and in the
solitude of my own room I solemnly pledged
myself that, with God's forgiveness. 1 would
never do so again. Apnlanse.j Now. my
friends, I'll not take tbe time of tbe gentlemen
who can tell us all about the orkincs of a pro
tective tariff. I now have tbe honor of intro
ducing to you the Hon. William McKinley.
The author of the new tariff bill was re
ceived with tumultuous applause. Hats,
handkerchiefs, canes and umbrellas were
swinging in the air, while the auditorium
rang with the shouts of the enthusiastic,
crowd. Three times did Mr. McKinley es
say to speak and as many times did tbe ap
plause break out anew. At last when order
was restored, Mr. McKinley said:
2IAJ0R M'KINLEY'S SPEECH.
Mr. President and Wv Fellow Citizens:
If anything could relieve me from tbo weari
ness which I feel after more than a fortnight of
campaigning. It would he this magnificent
meeting and your most generous welcome. I
have come here to speak to-nigbt, ronnimr awav
from my own district, where I am much more
sorely needed than you need mo here, because
1 love tho people of Pittsburg, and 1 love
tbe principles of tbe great Republican
party. Political parties are necessary to a
government of free people. They are the
agencies of public weal. Wo cannot, in a Gov
ernment like ours, get on-without political as
sociation. We are too numerous in popula
tion. We are too extended in territory for
each individual to act for himself in public af
fairs, and so under our system of Government
the people are divided into great political
organizations. We cannot always find a
political organization that represents every
phase of conviction that an individual
citizen may have. 1 doubt if there
is a gentleman in this audience who finds in
any one of tbe political organizations of the
countiy everything of which be would have
and everything which be would aspire to have
for the individual citizen and for the nation at
large, and so as sensible men we must find that
political organization which represents more
nearly what we think tnan any other and asso
ciate ourselves with that political organization.
Itis impossible under our form of govern
ment for all the peuple to act in their indi.
vidual capacity In public affairs, and therefore
it is tbat under our legislation every 150,000
people are entitled to one representative in the
popular branch of Congress, every 150.000
people of this country, in every Stato
of tbe Union, are entitled to. have
one vote in the Honse of Rcpresenta
.tlves. And X am here to-night to speaK
for one of these great political associa
tions' and when I speak fer a political associa
tion, I always speak for tbe candidates who
bear tbe flag of that political organization. It
is my purpose to-night to talk-to you about that
great suujectwuicn is not only commanding
tbe public attention of our own people, but is
commanding tbe public attention of the civil
izrd world. I refer, of course, to the great sub
ject of taxation. Taxation begins with every
Government, whether it is a government of tbe
city, of tbe county, ot tbe Stato or of the
nation.
THE QUESTION OF TAXATION.
The very first consideration, or the very first
question that addresses itself to any political
society is the question of how the money ia to
bo raised to pay tbo expenses of that political
organization, and therefore in tbe beginning
of this Government the most vexed question
that tried tbe statesmen of the time was tho
question as to how the money should be raised
to conduct our Government, and it has been
a voxed qncstion ever since, dividing political
Emies and dividing tbe people throughout the
nited Btates. It requires in this country to
day $360,000,000 every 13 months to pay the
ordinary and necessary expenses of tbe Govern
ment. It requires about 31,000.000 every 24
hours. Tbat much must bo raised somehow
and from some source to keep the wheels of our
Government in operation. The Govermcnt can
raise money but two ways by using its credit
to raise it, or by invoking tue power or taxation
which is vested in tbe Congress of tbe
United States. No one would justify
tho using of that power in a time
of profound peace to raise $330,000,000 annually
required for public purposes. Tbe exer
cising of tbat power is ouly justified'in case
of natioual emergencies tbat arise to the very
life nf the nation itself, and it would not be
justified or justifiable to borrow this sum of
money, but we must raiso it.
The Government cannot, by its fiat, make
money, and the only means, therefore, it has, is
by taxing our own people on the products of
our own people, or the taxing of the products
nf some other people. There are two systems
of taxation. Ono is the Internal revenue sys
tem, which was resorted to in time of war, and
which was never resorted to but three times in
our national history a system of direct taxa
tion, which taxes onr property, which taxes
our lands, which taxes our income, our occupa
tions and our business. '
. OBJECTION TO DIRECT TAX.
No political party would think at thi3 time of
advocating a system ot direct taxation for the
purpose of making this great Government free
ot tbe $360,000,000 wbicb are necessary to its ex
penses every 365 days. Neither the Democratic
nor the Republican party any longer advocate
the adoption of a system of direct taxation.
So that the only other system
left is that sy-tein of putting a tariff or
duty upon foreign'products, acccptluc a mar
ket or seeking a market in tho United
btates. Tbe advocates of a Democratic
revenue tariff insists that this tax shall be
levied on what is known as the revenue princi
ple, having in view revenue only, dismissing
every otber consideration except tbe simple
one of puttinir money into tbo public treasury,
having no concern about tbe occupations of
our people, haying no concern about the wel
fare of our Republic, while tbe Republican
party insists that that taxation shall he levied
on a protective principle, in which we take into
consideration tbe question of the industrial
prosperity oi onr people, tneir occupations,
tbeir happiness and the wellfare of onr Govern
ment. Applause.
Tbe revenue tariff has hut one purpose in
view, and that purpose is revenue, and what
ever tariff will produce the largest amounts of
revenue with the smallest rate of taxation, is
tbe very perfection of a Democratic revenue
tariff. 1 need not tell this intelligent audience
that to securo tbe largest ainonntof revenue
from tbe smallesl rate of taxation, vou must
put your tariffs upon those articles of foreign
products which are a necessity to the people o'
tbe United States, which cannot be produced
by our own people or in our own workshops.
Tako the items of tea, coffee and sutrar. Wo
must buy those great articles abroad. They
aro a necessity to every man's household, and
therefore any duty, however small, put upon
these two great articles of necessity, will cause
great streams ot revenue to flow into the public
treasury.
TALKING ABOUT SUGAR.
Take tbe article of sugar. We produces
percent of tbo sugar we consume. 92 per cent
comes from abroad. Ninety-two pounds out
of every hundred mus: be imported and only
eight pounds are produced at home out of every
hundred, and so any duties, however small in
tax or in tariff, put upon the 92
per cent of sugar used in this coun
try, which is necessarily imported from
abroad, will swell the volume of revenue,
wiucn snail comeinto the puDiis treasury, jnow,
that is the ideal Democratic revenue tariff.
That is tbe ideal British tariff after which the
Democratic party propose copying and adopt
insr in this country.
You cannot have a revenue without importa
tions, and ynu cannot have importations of
produce and tbe like of which
we can produce in the United
States unless you make the duty low enough so
as to encourage your people to go abroad and
bny rather than buy the domestic article or
that which is produced in tbe workshops of
this country. Take for example any article, I
care n:t what it is. Take that glass. (Here
tbe Major picked up the drinking glass from
the table and continued) Tbe duty on tbat is
60 percent. That is a Republican protective
tariff. Applause. J That was put there not
alone for revenue, bnt was put there for the
purpose of encouraging our people to en
gage in the bnsiuess and in the manu
facture of that kind of ware in the
United States. Applause.) Every dollars'
worth of tbat Kind of ware tbat comes into the
United States from any country of the world
puts 60 cents into the public treasury. Now
that duty was put there, as I said a moment
ago. not alone fur the purpose of revenue, bnt
it was put their to encourago and protect and
defend our own people who were engaged in
this kiud of industry. Applause, And lam
glad to say it has succeeded. Applause.. And'
we have got in this country some of tho best
trlass factories, and thev are nsrlit herein your
own city, that can be found anywhere through
out the world. Applause.
riTTSDUKG'S GLASS UOUSKS.
Supposing, my fellow-citizens, you are im
posing tbe duty lookine to revenue and revenue
only. Sixty per cent ot a tariff on that kind ot
ware would he altogether too high. Sixty per
cent on tbat kindot ware discourages this kind
of imoortation from tbo otherside. Now, if it is
only revenue you are after, instead of only 60
per cent you make tbe tariff 10 per cent. What
is tbe result? Increased Importations
from the other side. This country
under a 1U ner cent tarin duty, wouiu oe tne
dumping ground for the glassware of all the
world. Every shipload of this kind of ware
brought into tbe United States displaces that
quantity of glass wbicb ought to be made by
our own people in onr own factories. Ap
plause. Now. that, my fellow citizens, is the
difference between tbe two systems, the one
looks to revenue and revenue only, and tbe
other has some concern for the occupation of
our own people.
Here tbe speaker reviewed the histories of
the two kinds of tariff, and said that after a
trial of the Democratic kind the United
States was looking for an indorser for her
paper. Continuing, he said:
Now, arter 29 years of protection, wo have
got to pav a premium to tbe bondholder to get
him to give up bis bonds. Cheers aud ap
plause, We have not only, my fellow-citizens,
got a surplus revenuo in the public Treasury,
but wo have a matchless credit.
A Voice Was that not under a Democratic
President from Pennsylvania?
Major McKinley 1 will answer tbe gentle
man very briefly. " Tbat was under a Demo
cratic President from Pennsylvania, but in the
message that tbat Chief Executive sent to the
halls of Congress he bore testimony to the
dreadful condition that reigned throughout
this nation from one end to the other. He
said: "The low revenne tariff policy of my
own party has put out the fires in our furnaces,
and seut the men employed therein tramping
tbo streets and country roads of our lands."
Tremendous cheering and applause.
A LITTLE TIN PLATE.
Mr. McKinley took up the question of the
tariff on tin plate, and predicted its pro
duction in this city within tbe next 18
months. He cited the time that the old
Whig party put a tariff of 5 cents a yard on
calico, and" soon calico was being made all
over New England, and the price per yard
was less than it was before. On this line of
argument he predicted tbat tin cups now
worth 5 cents each can soon be had two, for
5 cents. Continuing he said:
1 have got a pretty hard time running for
Congress down in my Democratic district, with
2,400 majority against me.
A voice Oh, never mind: you'll get there 1
Sir. McKinley But I believe I am more cer
tain of being elected down there than I would
be if that district was on the other sine of the
ocean. Applause. But 1 am not running on
that side. Laughter.
Mr. McKinley then referred to theamount
of business transacted bv Mr. Reed's plan
of quorums. He referred to the silver bill,
the anti-lottery bill, the anti-trust bill, and
the other bilU passed by Congress to help
the people. His mention of John Sher
man's name in connection with the anti
trust bill brought outtremenduous applause.
He closed as follows:
I want you to elect your Representative, Col
onel Stone, who is to succeed that other distin
guished Representative. Colonel Bayne, of
whose services you have all heard tell and with
whose services 1 am somewhat familiar. He
was a member of the committee that made this
tariff and I want you to fight for your repre
sentative as tho representative of the Repub
lican partv when you go to the polls in next No
vember. Vote for tbe whole ticket and you
will all feci better, as your President said' ho
felt when ho voted tbe straight Republican
ticket. Fellow citizens, I thank you.
As Major McKinley stepped back to take
his seat the entire audience seemed to rise
and shouted as with one voice. Mr. Porter
called for three cheers for the Major and
they were given with a will.
Scores of men climbed over seats and
tables up on the stage in an attempt to get to
shake hands with Mr. McKinley. "While
many succeeded, hundreds were denied tbat
privilege, and the distinguished gentleman
was rushed through a side door, where a
carriage awaited him. But this was sur
rounded by amass of men, and as tbe party
drove away one prolonged, enthusiastic
howl followed them as tu as they could
hear.
SMSSIOff LET LOOSE.
An Eight-Year-Old Boy Hurls a Knife
at a Little Girl, With "Whom
HE QUAERELS ABOUT A FLOWER,
Sadie. Lewis Stabbed Through the Lnnzand
Seriously Injured.
CARRIIKG KNIVES MUCH TOO COMMON
"I want to go home and eat," was the
plaintive cry of diminutive Moses Harris,
when arrested by Detective Robinson on a
charge of murder yesterday afternoon.
About 2 o'clock yesterday alteration
Moses Harris, who is 8 years- old and
doesn't look it, was playing on Town
send street with his 11-year-old
neighbor, Sadie Lewis. Moses, unlike
his famous namesake, is anything bnt
meek, and will resent an insult or injury,
fancied or renl, with all the force that lurks
within his 50 pounds of flesh and blood.
Moses became tired of tbe limited range of
amusement offered by the street, and wanted
to possess himself of a weed which flour
ished luxuriantly in the front yard of
Sadie Lewis' residence, at No. 32.
The coveted plant has a long and in
teresting latin name, and is more
familiarly known by the children on the
hill as "Indian tobies." Sadie objected to
the invasion and a qnarrel resulted, the
main arguments of which were, "I won't,
either," and "You're another." Moses
asserts, with vehemence, tbat Sadie was the
aggressor, and the latter is lying too near
the portals of death to make any statement
to the contrary.
STABBED IN THE BACK.
Moses became violently enraged, and
drawing a heavy knife from his pocket,
opened it. Sadie saw the ugly-looking
weapon, and fled, but before she had gone
many feet Moses hurled it at her. The aim
was too true, the blade entered tbe little
girl's back under the shoulder
blade, and penetrated the left lung.
The child was picked up by an elder
sister and carried into the house. Dr. C.
C. Lange was called in, and after a super
ficial examination, pronounced the wound
highly dangerous, and probably fatal. A
certificate to this effectt was immediately
sent to the office of Inspector McAleese, who
detailed Detective Robinson to attend to the
case.
Tbe detective went to the girl's hom-, and
after learning tbe details started to find the
boy, who lived across the way, at No. 29
Townsend street. Moses had disappeared.
His mother knew nothing of his where
abouts, and the neighbors were equally
obtuse. Finally the detective learned the
boy had been hurried away by a man
with a big nose and a long whip.
The description was charmingly indefinite.
but the detective was not daunted, and he
started on a skirmish along Forbes avenue.
Near Magee street the detective met a man
with a pronounced nose and a long, lithe
whip, and, in police parlance, promptly
"held him up."
A DETECTIVE'S BOLD BLUFF.
"Where's that boy?" asked the detective.
"What boy?" was the interrogative re
joinder. "The boy who did the cutting on Town
send street."
"I don't know anything about a cutting
or a boy."
"Oh, you don't. Well, suppose you come
with me and tell the Inspector that."
It was a bold bluft on the part of the de
tective, for he was not sure he bad tbe right
man, but it went. When the man, who
gave his name as Abraham Broudie, reached
Municipal Hall, his knees became weak,
and. after enuivocating a little, finallv con
fessed that he had taken the boy to No. 40
Chestnut street. Urouuie was placed in a
cell at the Central station, and the detective
went after the boy. ,
Moses was playing unconcernedly in the
back yard when Detective Robinson arrived,
but when told that he was under arrest for
cutting bis playmate he began to cry and
pleaded hunger as a reason for a respite.
The boy was taken to Central station and
placed under tbe care of Matron Brenuan,
his tender age saving him from incarcera
tion in a cell.
It was not long until Moses' father,
Samuel Harris, appeared at the Inspector's
office in a state ot great excitement. s Harris
styles himself a "dealer in foreign fruit"
In disposing of his merchandise, which par
tially consists of the satisfying banana and
the juicy but occasionally acid orange, Har
ris employs half a dozen men with teams.
He isreputed to be quite wealthy. In reply to
questions Mr. Harris would repeat, "I can
only say I wish this had not happened."
He said he. knew nothing of the facts in the
case, but stated that Broudie was one of his
employes. Harris furnished bail in $1,000
for his son's release.
A SOLEMN WARNING.
Inspector McAleese had the child brought
before him, and questioned him. The boy
was reticent, but the Inspector's reputation
for making any one talk who is not actually
dumb was not tarnished.
Moses cried a little, then braced up, and
finally said: "She scratched my face and
pinched me."
When asked where he got the knife he
replied: "I had it," but it did not know
where it had gone to.
Harris placed the boy's hat on his head,
and sugeestively running his index finger
around the child's neck, said: "Don't you
ever use a knife again. If you do they'll
,bang you. Won't they, Inspectoi?"
"They will, indeed," gravely replied the
Inspector.
The Harris family, who are Hebrews, as
is tbe Lewis girl, live in a three-story brick
on Townsend street. The family is large,
and share the building with one or two
more families. Detective Robinson, in
talking to Harris, told him that his boy bore
a bad reputation in the neighborhood, to
which tbe man replied that his neighbors
were no friends of his. The detective was
told that earlier in the day Moses had cut
another little boy's finger with the same
weapon which came so near ending Sadie
Lewis' life.
Late last night the wounded girl was rest
ing easily, and the attending physicians
thought it might be possible to save her life.
THE BOY AND HIS KNIFE.
Inspector McAleese said last night that of
all the boys arrested, and they are many, al
though most of them are released and their
cases are thus kept from the public, nine out
of ten are armed. "The revolver," he said,
"has gone ont of fashion, as the crusade
against tbe sale of such weapons
to children is beginning to have its
eflect. Nearly every boy carries a
knife, and some of them are very
ugly-looking weapons. Of course, every
boy wants a pocketknife, bnt parents should
be very carelul not to allow a child with a
passionate temper to have one. It is only
a few days since we had another boy, about
7 or 8 years old, from the same neighbor
hood, who had cut a playmate in the leg."
Superintendent Dean; of the Anti-Cruelty
Society, said last eveuing: "I have very
few cases from among these people. They
feed and clothe their children, and see that
they are educated, but they do not always
watch tbeir conduct as closely as they
might."
Can't Keep From Stealing.
Another overcoat has been stolen from
the law offices on the northeast corner of
Diamond street and Cherry alley. Lafryer
Yost is tbe victim this time. This makes
the fourth within n few months, Messrs.
Shafer, Sipe, and Broe having lost theirs
previously. Tbe same thief, it is supposed,
stole a clock from Mr. Sipe.

MIXED UP HIS DATES.
An Applicant for Naturalization Papers Who
Was Slightly OfTIn Figures He Couldn't
Keep Track of Ills Wanderings and
Their Duration.
A man applied, to Judge White yesterday
for naturalization. He said he had been born
In Ireland, and was 32 years old, 16 years of
his life having been spent in Ireland, and
tbe other 1G in tbe United States. During
the progress of the interrogation the man
said he had been born irfJtine, 1857, which
would make him a little over 33 years old.
He next said he had been in Pittsburg 16
years, having come in 1870. The Judge
thought this would make the Pittsburg resi
dence 20 years, and so told the applicant,
who thereupon tbonght he must have made
an error in his calculation.
Subsequently, Judge.Whitejasked him to
tell more of his sojourn in this country, and
the man said he had spent three years in
Baltimore, learning a trade, and became
indentured there in 18G9, and had not been
back since. "But," said the Judge, "ynu
say yon have been in Pittsburg since 1870,
and I want to know how you made three
years in one?"
The man was nonplused. He was confi
dent he had been long enough in the coun
try to be entitled to citizenship, but (ailed
to locate himself satisfactorily during the
time, to the Judge's satisfaction. Finally the
applicant, in answer to a question, said he
became possessed with the desire to become a
citizen about two months ago, and the
Judge decided that as he had managed to
get along for 16 years outside the fold, he
wonld nut suffer if he waited enough longer
to find out something more abont his age
and whereabouts during the 21 years.
It was developed during the examination,
that the applicant was like many other
aliens he had become suddenly imbued
with a desire to become a citizen lor reasons
best known to himself. There was no poli
tics in this case.
TOLL-HOUSES SHOULD GO.
A Largo Affirmative Vote at the Exposition
Last Night.
The last voting topic at The Dispatch
headquarters in the space of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender
Company, at the Exposi
tion, was "Should all tbe toll houses on
roads in Western Pennsylvania be re
moved." The crowd was such that many
people could not get near the stand in tbe
evening, but a good vote was cast, with only
28 nays to 103 ayes.
Some of the affirmative reasons were,
"Let ns have free roads in a free country."
"We should ride free, when taxes are so
high." "The law of this country is free
dom." "Free or better roads." "Provided
the city paves the street afterward." "A
nuisance."
The only negative reason was, "The roads
would be poorer than ever."

0EINK HAS THE DROP.
Judge Fetterman Say3 Tbat Prohib
itory Liqnur Enactments
ARE RENDERED QUITE NUGATORY
Under the Wilson Bill, Making Partner
Legislation Necessary.
0T1IEB IjAWXEES WHO DOST AGREE
The decision of the Kansas and Iowa Fed
eral Courts, that until new laws are enacted
the present prohibitory acts in those States
are null and void, gives the original package
business another decided boom.
When Judge Fetterman was asked yes
terday, if Silverman could not now be re
leased, he replied : "Xo, for his offense
was committed before tbe Wilson bill was
passed. This decision is in line with the
original one. The point is that under that
decision all prohibitory liquor enactments
were rendered nugatory. The Wilson law
does not revive them, or put new life into
them. Prohibition must be re-enacted
in Iowa and Kansas. I don't think it can
be done in either State. The sentiment on
this subject has changed, and it looks to me
as if tbe people were tired of it.
"There is a case at Suterville, in West
moreland county, that this late decision
covers. The man sold tbe liquor in original
packages since the Wilson bili became law.
I will defend bim ou this ground, and until
Pennsylvania re-enacts new liquor laws any
man can sell, provided he keeps within the
bounds of the original package decision."
William M. Price, one of the local Pro
hibition leaders, said: "There is not a new
point in this decision. I held in the begin
ning that the Brooks law in this State was
not worth a pinch ot snuff. I suppose the
Kansas case will be RDpealed to the Su
preme Court, but I don't think the conrt
will recede from its original opinion. Pro
hibition must be resubmitted to the people
in Kansas and Iowa. There is no doubt
about its success in the former State, bnt
I am afraid of Iowa. The Republican
party in Kansas will have to support prohi
bition or go under. In Iowa tbe conditions
have changed, and if a vote were taken I
don't believe theP'obibitionists would win.
As for the Brooks law in this State, my
opinion is that it could not be passed again,
either. The people have had enough of it,
and I claim tbat the old law was a better
one." A
B. C. Christy, who worked hard for tbe
prohibition canse, said: "I think the peo
ple will soon begin to see just what the
original package decision meaus. This late
decision is in line with what I said at first.
Tbe court decides that the Wilson law is
not retroactive, which is good sense as well
as good law. All prohibitory enactments
existing at present, must be repassed to be
effective. I leel sure tbat prohibition can
be carried again in Kanas and Iowa."
