Philadelphia, November 1. James
G. Blaine pronounced the name "Belama1
ter" all right this afternoon, Jt" is said that
when he first heard the name of Quay's can
didate for Governor of Pennsylvania he pro
nounced it "De-lam-a-ter," placing the em
phasis on the second syllable, but he did
not do that to-day. He evidently practiced
the name well before he came into the State.
Moreover, he mentioned the name early and
often in his speech at to-day's great meeting.
Somebody must have put a flea in his ear.
Be had apparently been told that the oppo
sition party expected him to ignore the
name ol Quay's candidate and merely talk
national tariff. So the distinguished states
man fooled the opposition, and talked so fa
miliarly about Delamater that a stranger
listening to the speech would have concluded
that the gubernatorial candidate who lives
up in Meadville was on terms oi the greatest
intimacy with the member of the President's
Cabinet at Washington.
Lifted to n High Plane.
Czcept this one tinge ot artificiality,
there was no uncertain sound about the Sec
retary of State's address. He made a mas
terly effort to lift the gubernatorial cam
paign of a single State out of the realm of
personalities and local questions and raise
it to a position of transcendency in the
affairs of the nation at large." The whole
trend of his remarks was to this end. He
pictured Pennsylvania as the keystone of
protection as well as the keystone of the
Union.
He sought to substitute for the individ
uality ol the candidate the more important
matter of Pennsylvania and the McKinley
bill. He even made the remarkable state
ment that the Republican party could better
aflord to lose the lower house of Congress
this year than lose the popular vote in
Fennsrl vania. It is too near the Presidental
election for that. Mr. Blaine's peroration
was prophetic He said:
It's a ritutal State.
"As yon Pennsylvanians do on next Tues
day, so will the nation in 1892." There is
no question that the managers of the Re
publican campaign made a hit here in Phil
adelphia by playing Blaine as their last
card in the great game now drawing to a
close. The statesman from Maine has mag
netized the city for a day. His reception
was a marvelous ovation. John Wanamaker
unhesitatingly stated that at no time since
General Grant was nominated for President
in the Academy of Music in Philadelphia
has the vast hall held such a crowd. It
numbered perhaps .,000 people.
Among these there was a sprinkling of
women, but the large body of auditors was
made up of intelligent voters, and of that
other class of voters who often depend on
enthusiasm to swing their ballots. Before
entering the hall the Secretary of State had
a great time on the streets. The avenue
along which he passed was thronged with
spectators.
Wanamaker as Chaperon.
Mr. BlaiLe was accompanied on his trip
from Washington by Mrs. Blaine and their
daughter, Mrs. Walter Damrosch. Post
master General Wanamaker, of course, catne
along. Under escort of the joint commit
tees of tue Pennsylvania Club and Union
League, the party arrived in the city at
1230. So many tickets in excess 'of the
capacity ol the hall bad been given out that
fully 3,000 persons were turned away after
the doors were closed.
The multitude inside gave Mr. Blaine a
salute with handkerchiefs, hats, umbrellas
and cheers when he appeared on the stage.
H.s oration was punctured with uproarious
applause. The temper of the audience, how
ever, was well illustrated in Mr. Wana
maker's speech which followed that of
Blaine. He had been touching up the senti
mental side of Blaine, by relating how,arter
they left Washington in the morning, the
Plumed Knight had got off in one corner of
thetar by Inmsc! , and presently Wana
maker heard him softly whistling.
Sublime to the Ilidicnlous.
"The man that can make the great speech
can also whistle," continued the Postmaster
General, growing eloquent. "So glad was
Blaine this morning to be coming back to
his native State, that he sat whistling, and
(patheticallj) what do you think he
whistled there all to bimseli?"
"Annie Booney," bawled out a voice
frous the gallery, very promptly. It
was full three minutes before the storm of
laughter subsided sufficiently to let Mr.
Wanamaker resume his spoilt pathos and
say that Secretary Blaine whistled "Auld
lang Syne."
When members of the Cabinet make
speeches to a political audience in Penn
sylvania ther must expect that sort of in
terruption. The preliminary worn of or
ganizing the mass meeting was gone throuch
with very quickly on account of the im
patience to hear the two distinguished men
from the Cabinet. In one other particular
was the meeting remarkable. Quay's name
was not mentioned once. It was, perhaps,
the only Republican meeting of the cam
paign in which the man back of Delamater
was not eulosized.
Right Sown to State Matters.
Mr. Blaine began to speak, as follows:
ladies Aim Gentlemen Thanking you
first of all for an old-fashioned, hearty Penn
sylvania welcome, for which, on this occasion
as on many others. 1 am your debtor, I shall
proceed to the duty in hand. This is not an or
dinary occasion or 1 would not be here.
Mr. Blaine then ssoke of the political
campaign in this State, as follows:
The Congress of the United States has lately
passed a new tariff bill. Do yob suppose that
the great free-trade papers in New York and
elsewhere throughout the Union would caro to
follow up Mr. Delamater on personal charges
if they did not have some great pnrnose beyond?
If they can elect lir. Paulson and defeat Mr.
Delaruater. it is a prodigious gain to the cause
of free trade, and It is a prodigious loss to the
cause ot protection. Pennsylvania is not only
the Keystone State of the Union, but even in a
greater sense sh is the keystone of the cause
of protection. If she falls back now, when the
tariff is now on its severest trial, the free
traders Bee or think they sea an easy road to
the Presidency in 1S92.
Can Settle the Presidency.
Pennsylvania, with the surrounding States,
the six States that border upon her, can settle
the Presidency. I want to remind you,
especially on Republicans who honestly differ
from the great body of your party, that every
one of these States at present is In Democratic
hands Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia. The decisive
point of the struggle of 1892 may lie in Penn
sylvania and in those States, and how any true
friend of the Republican party, how any hon
est believer in the doctrine of protection can
put to hazard the strong position of Pennsyl
vania at this critical time, I fall to discover.
I impute motives to no -man. and yet I must
remind every man that be is morally responsi
ble for the plain results of bis actions. If
Pennsylvania, under a pretext, can, at this
time, be drifted from her lifelong allegiance to
the doctnnehf "protection, and shall elect a
gentleman of whom I Know nothing politically,
except that be isiranked with the free traders
if they can to-day elect as Governor of Penn
55 Iranians 'ardenra free trader as President
Cleveland "himself, there may be no balm in
Gilead that can heal that wound.
led From New York.
I speak strongly on this question; I speaR
strongly because I do not want to see this State
mislead by the free traders of New York City.
Even the blind can see that the free traders of
New York City, with their powerful organ,
are leading the van for the Democratic candi
date in this State and against the Republican
candidate. The source and inspiration of the
Democratic canvass in Pennsylvania comes
from that source. The crushing blow, if they
succeed, is upon Pennsylvania. The issue
itself is concealed under this mountain of abuse
of the Republican candidate for Governor.
Its object is plain. It is for Pennsylvania uuw
to show that the results of this campaign shall
not bo enjoyed by the enemies of protection.
We have had some little experience of late
with the Democrats in Congress. Merriment, 1
There is undoubtedly in Republican ranks somo
difference as to the character of the new tariff
bill. Lot us be frank. There was a difference.
But of the 62,000.000 or tB.OOO.OOu of people that
now inhabit the United States, every man can
not have his say in making up a tariff bill.
1 hat duty was remitted to the Congress of the
United States.
Stand by the Compromise.
The bill which was finally passed was the re
sult of compromise,and I come with confidence
to plead before the people of Pennsylvania,and
specially before the people of Philadelphia,
no; to differ on detail. It was in this great
city that compromise gave us the Declaration
of Independence. It was in this creac city
that compromise gave ns the Constitution of
the United States.
And if those great men who controlled those
great historic events conld compromise on
issues pertainlnc to the very foundation of the
Government, can we not as Republicans even
if we differ on the dotting of i or the crossing
of t in a line or a section can we not. forego
our differences .audas-qneman. support the
measure that our repiesehtatives have enacted?
Cheers. I have a little personal grievance
myself but not against Republicans. Merri
ment and applause. During the considera
tion of the tariff law a discussion grew up on
the question ol attaching to the bill or incor
porating with it
A Principle of Reciprocal Trade.
As I have said before, elsewhere, for the little
part I took in that for the first four or fire
weeks I was the most popular Republican with
the Democratic party in this country. Laugh
ter. They thought 1 was trying to divide the
Republican party on the doctrine of protection,
and I was soon patted on the back and encour
aged by the Democratic party. Continued
laughter. Well. I could stand that sort of
tbiag while I was laboring, as others were
laboring more earnestly than myselr, to bring
the Republican party to reciprocity.and finally
as one man we incorporated the doctrine of
reciprocity in the tariff bill.
Just as soon as the Democrats fonnd that
thM had been done, they did not want any reci
procity at all. They said in effect: "Reciprocity
is an excellent measure if it will divide the
protectionists in two, but if you go to incor
porate it into the Republican platform and
make it a part of the political system we do not
want any of it, and besides tnat, it is unconsti
tutional." Laucuter. Nearly everv Demo
cratic Senator who spoke sought to prove that
reciprocity incorporated in the tariff bill was
unconstitutional.
The Cry of Unconstitutionality.
Did you ever stop to reflect, my friends, what
this country would have been to-dav if we had
been balked by the cry of unconstitutionality
every time that it was made by the Democrats,
We should not have been able to defend the
Union when it was assaulted; we should not
h ave been able to issue greenbacks for its sup
port; we should not have been able to organize
a national bank; we should not have been able
toimprove a river that did not have salt water
in it; we should not have been able to improve
a harbor in the interior States; we should not
have been able to give freedom to a slat e. and,
as tbo next point, we should not be able to
secure reciorocity in our international trade.
By everj attempt, gentlemen, serious and
sober, individual and associated, in every form
in which political actlou can be taken, the
Democratic party expects to wound and de
stroy the doctrine of protection; and I have
come to raise my voice in Pennsylvania to ask
the mother ot protection to see that ber off
spring shall not be strangled. It my voice can
have any influence with a single man amnnz
tlio-e who are dissenting from the regular
organization, I appeal to him not to think that
It will be all well next year.
The Independent Republicans.
It has been said to me within the last month,
very frequently: "Don't be disturbed about it,
this tight of ours is merely local, and next year
we will all be back."
My friends, taction is the offspring of discon
tent. Faction leads to defeat, and defeat leads
to mutual hostility and disorganization. If this
ngui is continued witn a disastrous end, it will
be a longtime, I tear, before jou will oee the
Republican party ot Pennsjlvama come forth
in its original strength and its invincible power.
Now is the time to stand forth. It is in the
power of every Republican in the State to join
with the great throng on behalf of the issue of
protection, upon which Pennsylvania, as I hare
said before, is the leading State of the Union.
J don't mean to imply at all, gentlemen, that
the result of the elections for Congress
whether we lose it or whether we gain it will
in any great degree affect the Republican
party. I believe that fiom the Presidency of
Andrew Jackson', with one exception down to
the time of Abraham Lincoln cueers let
me repeat that name, for I liko to bear it
cheered continued cheering I go back
farther, from the time of John Qmncy Adams
to Abraham Lincoln, with one exception every
administration
Lost Its Second Congress.
So I have not come here to raise a wail or to
sound any alarm upon the possibility of the
loss of the House of Representatives. I hope
we shall not lose it; I believe there is a good
chance that we will not, but it is easily recov
ered. It is one of nature's reactions that
comes between the two Presidental elections
four years apart, and.as I have said,bas been so
frequent that it creates no disturbance on the
one sid& and no elation on the other. I am not
speakmc of that.
What I deplore is a popular vote in Pennsyl
vania that shall encourage New Jersey in -tier
Democracy; that shall lead the dissenting
branches of the Democratic party in New York;
that shall cripple Ohio in her effort to throw off
Democratic power in the executive and gerrv
mandering power in the district; that shall
throw back Delaware in her Republican pro
gress: that shall make Maryland a hopeless, in
stead of a hopeful State, and that shall take
from us the power to establish the Republican
standard in the new and advancing State of
West Virginia.
The Charges Are Masks.
Every one of those considerations confront
you in the vote that yon cast In Pennsylvania
on Tuesday next. It is not a question of
scandal, of abnse, or detraction; it is none of
these: those are merely tho masks that hide
the free trade behind them.
It is not generally considered In the best
taste fc a member of tho Administration to
eulogize the President under whom ho serves;
but in Pennsylvania where, you will excuse
me for saying, I alwajs feel at home you will
pardon me for saying that the administration
of President Harrison cheers, so far as that
eminent man controls it, has been a modest
administration, a working administration, a
conscientious administration, an efficient
administration. Tho country has been
peacefnl, industrious, prosperous. It
has gone forward in a quiet career,
such as a Republican government should al
ways exhibit. I ask you, in easting your bal
lots on Tuesday next, to remember that vou
can sustain the administration of an able, con
scientious ana independent President, or you
can set the seal of doubt upon it; you can do
much to perpetuate Republican administra
tion, or you can do much to destroy it. It is in
your hands. I have come here not with the
purpose of eulogizing the administration, but
to bear my testimony and give you a warning
that as Pennsylvania votes on next Tuesday,
the nation votes two years hence.
Wanamaker to the Fore.
At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine's speech
there were cries for Mr. Wanamaker from
all parts of tho house, and the Postmaster
Genera, upon walking to the front of the
stage, was greeted with prolonged applause.
Mr. Wanamaker thanked those present lor
giving both Mr. Blaine and himseli such a
welcome reception. He said:
I am sure that Mr. Blaine, although they
charge him with being a monopolist, has a very
large place in vour hearts, for the crowd upon
the outside of the Academy is every bit as
large, if not larger, than the one on the Inside.
That man must be stone dead who would not
appreciate the welcome which has been be
stowed on secretary Blaine. I know it has
been said that this was only to be a pleasure
excursion; that Mr. Blaine would not speak on
the issues of the day. Was there uncertainty
about his words? Cries of "Not any."
No, that is true; there was not a single un
certainty about what he said and I already
feel the victory which is sure to come to the
Republican party in Pennsylvania on Tuesday
next.
Lond In His Praise.
No man in this country deserves more praise
than does James G. Blaine. You can always
find tho right way if you find Mr. Blaine, and
so to-day, when you heard his words, I could
hear you say, "I will vote as James G. Blaine
votes." It has been said, and U still being said,
that wages in this country are notkeepinc pace
with protection. This is not true. Neither is
it true that all the wages will or can be raised
at one time. There are other things that are
far more important. Plenty of work is what is
wanted and no stoppage of mills.
Mr. Wanamaker indorsed what Mr.
Blaine had uttered in reference to President
Harrison's administration, saying:
I have watched closely every step during these
last two years, and I never saw any set of men
more devoted to the interests of any cause than
the chiefs surrounding the President.
Mr. Wanamaker closed with the declara
tion that he had "come home to vote,"
which produced much applause.
EITBBING IT EJ.
In a Second Speech Blaire Says the Dela
mater Attacks Are Shameful.
ISrECIja. TELEOUAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Philadelphia, November 1. Before
speechmaking was over in the Academy
to-night Mr. Blaine was driven to the
Union League. It was with difficulty that
the party could enler, owing to the large
crowd. A lunch was served him in the
secretary's room, after which, in reponse to
calls, he went to the balcony and addressed
the crowd as follows:
1 come to Philadelphia to-day to urge the
election of George Wallace Delamater I want
to say that when a man is treated as be is tbe
people should resent. The attacks that have
been made upon htm should appeal to your
hearts, Grorgn W. Delamater has been foully
a.ttackrd. I look to tbe manliness of Pennsyl
vanians to rebuke it. Go do your duty. That
is all 1 have to say. Goodby.
After this Mr.-Blaine received for two
hours in the large reception room of the
League. He was assisted by Postmaster
General Wanamaker, President W. C.
Houtou, of the League, and President J.
M. Gnzzira, of the Pennsylvania Club.
Mr. Blaine returned to Washington on the
7:10 train. Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Dam
rosch went on a shopping tour during the
meeting with Henry B. Tyler.
DELAMATEB AND PBOHLBITIMr.
A Mysterious Letter Alleging That He Sup
ported the Amendment.
fSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBE DISPATCH.
Erie, November 1. The editor of the
Graphic says there is in this city, locked up
in the safe of George L. Siegel, a flour and
feed merchant of 15 West Twelfth street, a
letter from George Wallace Delamater,
the Republican nominee for Governor,
in which he states that he was in Meadville
on June 18, 1889, the da,y" the prohibitory
amendment was voted upon, and that he
voted for the amendment. The fact that the
letter exists is known by scores of prominent
citizens of Erie who have seen if, and who
can and will, if necessary, take oath to its
contents. It is written on a letter head of
the firm of Delamater & Co., bankers, of
Meadville, and reads substantially as fol
lows: George L. Siegel, Esq;., Erie, Pa.:
Dear Sir You will pardon my delay in an
swering yours of . I have been away and have
but jnt returned home. I was in Meadville on
June 18, 1883. when tbe probibitory amendment
was voted upon and voted for the amendment.
Respectfully yours,
G. W. Delamater,
JOHN BULL'S HEW GOBBLE.
Great Britain Secures an Immense Territory
in South Africa.
ISrEClAI. TELEQRAM TO TBE DISPATCH.
New York, November 1. A dispatch
from Mr. Bhoades, the South African
millionaire, who is managing the British
South African Company, says that the
Barotse who live on the Upper Zambesi
have accepted tbe protection of Great
Britain and an immense territory embrac
ing about 225,000 square miles has thus
been added to the dominion of the company.
These natives live above the famous Yicoria
families on the north side of the Zambesi
river.;Mr.F. Amot.the Scotch missionary who
visited there eight years ago, was the second
white man among tbe Barotse since Living
stone made them known to the world.
Livingstone thought their land was a fine
country.
Mr. "Bhoades says that the King of the
Barotse have solemnly promised to abolish
the killing of alleged witches and the ter
rible custom of human sacrifices. Among
these people such a promise, if the whites
succeed in enforcing it, means tbe suppres
sion of a great deal ot human buffering.
ILLINOIS MINE TE0UBLE8.
Some Mining Operators Will Yield to tho
Men, Others Will Not.
Springfield, November 1. All tbe
miners in the Springfield snb-distnet left
their work to-day and held meetings in the
Court House, where speeches were made by
John B. Rea, of Ohio, President of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
others.
A conference was held to-night between
Mr. Rea and Secretary Howells, of the
United Mine Workers of America for
Illinois, on the one hand, and the coal
operators on 'the other. Mr. Rea made a
demand for an increase in the price of min
ine in the Springfield district from 50 to 62J
cents. The operators did not give any
answer then, and later a majority ol the
operators held a meeting, but arrived at no
conclusion. It is probable that about one
fourth of the operators will pay the ad
vance, and that tbe remainder will refuse
and their men will remain out.

Philadelphia, November 1. There
was not a vacant seat in the Academy of
Music this evening when the Democratic
mass meeting began its proceedings at 8
o'clock. The doors were opened at 7 o'clock
and in half an hour the lower part of the
house, the balcony and dress circle were
completely filled and persons who did not
care to ascend to the fourth tier were oc
cupying standing-room in the parquet and
orchestra.
Soon the amphitheater filled up and tbe
vast crowd, among which were many ladies,
enjoyed themselves listening to the music
of the band while they wuited for the open
ing of the meeting.
PROMINENT MEN PRESENT.
On the stage were seated a large number
of gentlemen prominent in Democratic
circles, many of whom had been selected as
vice-presidents and secretaries of the meet
ing. At precisely 8 o'clock Chairman Don
nelly, arm In arm with Lawyer George W.
Biddle, appeared in the background on the
stage, and the great audience broke into a
tumultuous burst of applauseas they walked
down toward the front row of chairs facing
the footlights. Following them came
Sheriff Charles H. Krumbhaar with Shriev
alty Candidate Frank A. Hartranft, City
Commissioner and Candidate for re-Election
J. P. J. Sersenderfer, and Recorder qf
Deeds Candidate C. Oscar Beasley. together
with others of the Vice Presidents and
Secretaries of the meeting.
A SHOT AT BLAINE.
It was necessary for the band to day a
lively air to drown the noise of the applause
that greeted these gentlemen, and when the
strains had died away Chairman Donnelly
arose and introduced Hon. George W. Bid
die. Mr. Biddle delivered an eloquent ad
dress, and introduced ex-District Attorney
Purman Sheppard as the first speaker. A
round of applause greeted Furman, Shep
pard: He said:
Tbe gentleman who called this afternoon and
lett his card and who will call again in 1SV2, w?s
not able tc add anything new.f -'ItTCasXt&liaine
old story of protection, but he was not Able to
eathuse anybody. I am glad, however, that be
come to speak in this Commonwealth,. Rlad he
overcame his refusal at tbe last moment.
When you chose a Governor, you consider his
character and his ability. Tariff and free
trade shall that be the scarecrow when you
arc asked who is the proper man for Governor?
Thn McKinley bill, said the great speaker
this afternoon, is in danger. How is that? It
took months to pass it; it ought to live a few
months. Why thrust it here as a scarecrow? I
say it is a false issue.
SCHEMING SENATORS.
You've had a high Federal officer here this
afternoon trying rally his scattered forces, and
another Is managing things who is credited
with wanting to own a Government. You are
called upon now to choose a man who for four
years shall have charge of this great State.
Shall this State be sacrificed to the schemes of
Senators seeking re-election? (Cries of
"No. neverl") Here is a man you
have tried who for four years stood
on Capitol Hill, Harrisburcr. and protected
your Interests conscientiously. Choose between
a man tried and tested and experienced in that
high office and the Republican candidate. A
Btain rests upon bis official record. When the
Republican party attempted to besmircn him
what did your candidate do? When traduced,
without waiting five months or five days, he
canght his accusers by the throat and smote
them with tbe hand of the law. Enthusiastic
applause. He did not fizzle about so called
confidential communications applause to
Harrisourg. Great enthusiasm.' His own
tall, manly form carried aloft the most con
spicuous figure imaginable.
OVATION TOR PATTISON.
Assistant District Attorney Jamea M.
Beck and others followed in interesting
speeches. Then ex-Governor Pattison en
tered the hall. The tumnltous applause
that he received reminded one of tbe recep
tion to Blaine in the afternoon in its en
thusiasm, and it was far more continued.
When Mr. Pattisony advanced to the
speaker's table,after Mr.Bnowden's terse in
troduction, "I will now make room for the
next Governor," he was again greeted with
cheers. The audience arose and applauded
to the echo. It was fully two minutes be
fore the candidate could proceed. He said:
There is every indication of a magnificent
triumph on Tuesday next In behalf of popular
government. Tbe lines in this contest are
distinctly drawn. On the one side are the peo
ple, on the other tho bosses. All the evidence
has been presented: all the arguments are
about in, Tho people, through their repre
sentatives, have not hesitated to meet evory
charge. There is no question as to the out
come of the struggle.
BOSSISM THE ISSUE.
There is bossism in our midst. It is known to
all men. Popular government has never been so
assailed as at present in Pennsylvania. It ap
pears in our municipal legislation, is dominant
in tbe State legislature.vand in the public ad
ministration of our office. It appears in tho
primary elections, at the general elections, at
every corner. On every hand bossism has not
hesitated to show itself. The result of Tues
day, I am satisfied from observations
1 have made, will be a decisive overthrow
of bossism. And it is to be hoped that
it will never appear again renewed ap
plause; that it will be Bucha destruction of
the root that life will never appear again. All
the power is vested with the people. I do not
believe that in this lattor part of the nine
teenth century men will concede to any indi
vidual tbe fundamental right which belongs to
them. Attempts have been made, bnt I don't
believe they proved successful, to inject other
questions into this controversy. Tho people
apprehend that if we win we will have in Our
midst what we so dearly love home rule, self
government and clean politics.

below some of the minor candidates on the
Republican ticket Taking tbeqrote at this
election as a basis, the outlook seems to be
about as follows:
Districts surely Eepublican: The Sec
ond, Tenth, Twelfth, Eighteenth, Nine
teenth, Twentieth and Twenty-first. This
would give seven Republican Congressmen.
It must be borne in mind, however, that the
Cleveland and Cuyahoga county have often
turned out very uncertain quantities and
they form the Twenty-first district.
Districts surely Democratic, the Third,
Fifth, Sixth and Fllteenth undoubtedly;
the Eighth, Ninth, Thirteenth and Four
teenth pretty surely; the Fourth, Seventh,
Eleventh, Sixteenth and Seventeenth close,
but chances in favor of the Democratic can
didates. One district is surely doubtful,
namely, the First district.
This estimate would give: Certainly Re
publican, 7; certainly Democratic, 4; prob
ably Democratic, 4; Democratic not so cer
tain, 5; doubtful, 1; total, 21.
These estimates mado on the basis of last
fail's election give a wider margin of
majority for the Democrats in the Con
gressional districts than, if they had been
made on the vote of 1888 in the same dis
tricts. As to the effect of the McKinley
bill it may be remarked that the great
manufacturing regions of Ohio are
comprised in the Republican districts,
and tbe strongest Democratic districts are
almost wholly agricultural. It must be
borne in mind also that the fight by the Re
publicans McKinley in the Sixteenth,Fos
tcr in the Eighth and by Ashley in the Sev
enth has been so determined as to render
ths outcome in these donbttul, to say the
least As to the State ticket, it seems sure
for the Republicans by a good round major
ity. Senator Sherman, in a chatty way speak
ing of Ohio politics, said with an air ot con
fidence: "There is not very much' enthusi
asm in this State, but it is safe to say that
Ryan and the Republican ticket will have
about 20,000. We will elect nine, possibly
ten, Congressmen."
Speaking of the probable acts of the next
Congress he said: "I think it will pass the
Federal election bill in some shape. It is
not altogether satisfactory to me as it is."
It was remarked that there was gossip of
strained relations between Harrison and
Blaine. The Senator said: "Oh, that's
becanse they are not tbe same kind of men.
Blaine is impulsive and genial, while Har
rison is very sedate."
STILL ON THE HOVE
Senator Delamater Talks to tho Voters of
Oil City.
IsrECIAI. TXLEOBAX TO THE DISr ATOR.I
Oil City, November 1. Notwithstand
ing tbe roost strenuous efforts of the Re
publican managers and the Standard Oil
Company to hold a big Republican blow
out on account of Senator Dela-mater'-s
-visit here to-day, the event
was a- dismal failure. Only a cor
poral's gnard met the Crawford county
Senator at.the depot, and escorted him to
the Arlington Hotel. Late in the afternoon
a meeting was held in --the Opera House,
which was only two-thirds filled, and the
majority of those present were independent
Republicans and Democrats. Mr. Dela
mater wound up his remarks with the
statement: "If you don't think I am an
honest man, don't vote for me."
The Standard Oil Company have served
notice on all their employes that they are to
have a holiday on Tuesday.
GOVERNOR HILL'S PLEA.
He Asks Democrats to Stand by Their
Party in Local Contests.
Kew Haven, November 1. Governor
David B. Hill closed the Democratic cam
paign in this State in a speech in this city
to-night. He said in reference to the im
portance of municipal elections, that the
Republicans have everything to gain and
nothine to lose by combinations with any
Democratic faction.
A united front of all the friends of true
and genuine Democracy against the opposi
tion is earnestly demanded everywhere. Put
no Democrat on guard whose Democracy is
not above suspicion. Those who encourage
factional contests should go to the rear in
times of public peril, like these, when the
integrity of the Republic is assailed.

10:30 this evening, while C. P. Moore, agent
for Wells Fargo Express Company, was sit

making out his report lor last month's busi

Moore went to the door, opened it and two
men walked in. Alter a short conversation
one of the men drew a revolver, and posh

and led him to the company's big safe,
which they requested him to open at the pis

into a satchel.
wouldn't take his watch.
After a' thorough overhauling of the safe,
the robbers searched Mr. Moore. They
took out his watch and other valuables, but
after chrtnoghim about their worth re
turned them to his pockets. Tbe money
which Mr. Moore was counting when the
robbers knocked at the door, and which he
placed in a drawer in a table, amounting to
over 5600, was overlooked.
The robbers then quietly took their leave,
after remarking that the next time they met
they hoped it would be under more pleasant
and favorable circumstances. A half hour
afterward Mr. Moore succeeded in freeing
himself and gave the alarm.
WAT TJP IN THE THOUSANDS.
Mr. Moore describes the men as follows:
One large, middle-aged, dark complexion
and wearing a flowing black beard, evi
dently false; the other robber a young man
apparently 21 years old and sandy com
plexioned. The agent places tbe company's
loss in cash, checks and negotiable paper
at between $5,000 and $15,000.
This may vary on account of Mr. Moore's
condition. When seen by a reporter, he
was in a very nervous state, and was shortly
atterward taken to his home. Police and
detectives are scouring the city in search of
the robbers.

two agreeable men on the pier and one of
them carried a satchel which he assured the
Philadelphian contained $50,000 in bills.
The strangers walked around awhile with
Veranto and then took him into the restau
rant at No. 10 Atlantic avenue. They in
duced him to give them bis money, amount
ing to 610, for safe keeping, and pretended
to put it into the satchel with the 50,000.
The satchel was handed over to Veranto,
and soon the two men left him with it in the
restaurant promising to return in a few
minutes and exacting from him a solemn
agreement to remain until they returned.
The men did not come back, and it was
found the satchel contained only a lot of
waste paper. The 610 of Mr. Veranto had
disappeared with the well-dressed strangers.

mantic contest was finally settleb Jay by
the decision of the Supreme Court again
affirming the decision of Judge Tuley, of
Chicago, in the case or Charles F. Fox
against the heirs of George W. Hobbs.
In 1849 William H. Price owned a plot
of Jand and a factory at the corner of Clin
ton and Randolph streets, Chicago. He was
also the owner of other property, which has
Bince increased in value enormously. Mr.
Price had two children, Mary W. and Miss
Eliza M. Price. Lice many others in
1849, he caught tbe gold fever and
started for California. Before leaving he
turned over tbe factory and other property
in trust to his right hand man, George W.
Nobles, but deposited the papers and deeds
with his wife. From that time nothing
more was heard or seen of him. Nobles,
however, learned that Price died while
crossing the isthmus, bnt this in
telligence he carefully kept from
Mrs. Price and the family, and continued
to administer affairs. He managed to se
cure the papers in Mrs. Price's possession,
and when she died in 1867 he claimed to
have bonght the property lrom William H.
Price, and to be the absolute owner. He
himself died in 1885, willing his property to
his brothers and sisters.
About this time H. W. Price began to
look matters np in the Interest of himself
and Cnarles Fox; the son of his sister. The
case has been bitterly fought The result
is a fortune for tbe plaintiffs, estimated at
$250,000. H. W. Price is President of the

wealthy, bnt Fox, until to-day, has been a
clerk on salary.

One wheel was lost in the runaway, and
Senator Stanford, Tom Fitch and Judge

PORTER'S PATHETIC PLEA
For Hard Work and Harmony Among
the Eepublican Hustlers,
CSIKG THE AMERICAN MECHANIC?.
Attempting to Convert the Order Into a
Campaign Weapon.
LAST APPEAL OP THE WDEPE5DE5T8
The quivering chords of the politicians'
nervous systems, and every American citi
zen and many a citizeness is a politician,
are vibrating like the strings of an tcoliao
harp in a wind storm. The gamut of their
emotions has been rnn time without num
ber as the outlook for their candidate dark
ened or lightened, but through good and
evil report they have put on a bold front to
the world and confidently claimed victory.
The campaign is nearing its close. la
three days the battle will have been fought
sud won. The last meetings of the County
Committee were held yesterday, tbe workers
at tf" polls kid in tbe districts received
their last instructions, and big Bundles of
tickets and posters were being hustled
through the county. Around the different
headquarters all were expressing themselves:
as feeling relieved that the suspense was so
near over.
It was a day of claims yesterday. Any
body and everybody was willing to make an
estimate of tbe majority or lack of majority
of any candidate. While they were unani
mous in this, their figures were widely
varied.
FLIKJT DUBIOUS ABOUT THE COTTSTY.
The Eepublican County Committee met
and listened to Mr. WilllamFlinn's claims.
That gentleman said: "Tbe tide has turned
during the past week and 3,000 Kepnblicans
who were for Pattison have drifted back to
us, and they are still coming. What tha
result will be in the county I am not pre
pared to state. Every member ot the com
mittee must put his shoulder to the wheel
from now until the election is over."
This brought a pathetic speech from
Chairman Porter. He said: "This com
mittee is composed of a representative from
every election district in thecounty, and the.
election returns will be closely watched to
see how they have borne themselves. 'By
their fruits ye shall know them.' " This
scriptural quotation evoked a round of de
risive laughter.
Mr. Porter continued: "Each one can da
something if he tries, and I hope you will
all try. There has been very little bitter .
nes in this- campaign. Very 'ew straight
Republicans have tried to stab the ticket.
An endeavor has been made by people who
cannot be considered straight Kepnblicans
to introduce dissension into this committee,
but without avail. Around headquarters
we have found no treachery. It is nnwiso
of us to suspect our associates ou the com
mittee until we have evidence of their
treachery, and I hope no members of tha
committee will foment dissension in our
ranks or suspect their associates."
WHY DEMOCRATS AEE ELECTED.
J. 31. Kennedy( of Allegheny, followed
with a speech intended to arouse enthusi
asm. Among other things, he said,
although, perhaps, he did not mean it
quite that way: "These Independent Be-
publicans are the men who in off years
always want to vote for the best men, and
this has filled your Councils and school
boards with Democrats. This is an im
portant election, and the result no one cam
foretell; but if we stick together the Eepub
lican party will be successful."
'Squire Douglass rdse to his feet, crushed
the enthusiasm and closed the fleeting by
stating that the Bepublican forces in Eliza
beth township were entirely demoralized,
and closed by saying, "I don't believe thera
will b: enough Bepublicans at the polls to
take care of the tickets."
Chairmen Blair and Ayres were holding
a jubilation meeting yesterday alternoon at
Independent headquarters. ''This has been
the most remarkably encouraging day we
have had yet," said Mr. Blair. "Old-tima
Bepublicans whom we had no hope of com
ing over, are coming in for tickets and vol
unteering to work for us at the polls."
At this moment a man came in from tha
Fourteenth ward and said: '1 have al
ways been a Bepublican and I'm an old
soldier, but I'm lor Pattison."
ISDEPESDEifTS' BIG CLAIMS.
Mr. Blair claims the connty by 5,000 int
Pattison, but Mr. Ayres is prepared for at
10,000 majority. The Independents expect
to split even or better in Allegheny City, to
carry Pittsburg by a large majority and to
capture most of tbe townships and boroughs.
The Democratic County Committee met
yesterdiy and arranged lor tbe distribution,
of tickets. Chairman J. Krause predicts m
big Democratic vote for an off year, and con
siders Pattison as good as elected.
Mr. W. M. Gibbs, who knows a great deal
about Allegheny politics, insists that that
city will give Delamater from 1,500 to 2,000
majority, which he thinks will counter
balance whatever Pittsburg may do for
Pattison.
Beserve township is said to be for Pattison,
although it has heretofore been Bepublican.
James A. Both, of Finleyviile, reports,
that Union township, heretofore Bepublican,
will give irattison a majority.
