When it was first an nounced at noon to-day in a rather mysteri ous manner that the life of Charles S ewart Parnell had come to an unexpected end last night, there were many wild rumors ns to the manner oi his death. It is probable that the recent dramatic suicide ofl'ou langer had mnch to do with these reports, which appear to have absolutely no founda tion in fact. Whatever else may be said of him, Parnell was not the man to flinch from any fight, and no one who knows him be lieves for a moment that he would take his own life. In this city particularly the news of Mr. Parnell's death came down like a thunder holt upon the clubs and in political circles. Nobody, so far as at first known, was even aware that he was indisposed. As the day wore on, however, it leaked out from the statements of his intimate friends that Mr. Parnell had complained to them recently of not feeling as well as usual, but it was not thought by anybody that there waBauything serious in the symptoms referred to by the late member for Cork City, though he was thinner than he was last year. " His Last Appearance in Public The last time Mr. Parnell appeared in public was at Creegs in Ireland, on Septem ber 27, when he delivered a long speech upon the attitude andalieged inconsistencies of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien. Upon that occasion Mr. Parnell stated that he was speaking in defiance of the orders of the flociors who were attending him, and who had expressly ordered bim to keep to his room. While Mr. rarnell was speaking at Creegs it "a as noticed that he was very pale, and that in other respects he was not the same man be had been in the past. In addition to his pallor, Mr. Parnell upon the occaon referred to carried his left arm in a dine. His fri. -ds upon asking him the cause of this were informed that he was suf fering from rheumatism. Mr Parnell, Mr. Parnell's stepdaughter and the servants, according to the latest ac counts of the death of Mr. Parnell, were the only occupants of the house on Wnl singliam terrace, when the Irish leader ex pired. The end, these later reports state, was one of intense agony for the si;k man until the moment when he became uncon scious and eventually died without pain. Death came shortly before midnight, and is stated to have been indirectly due to a chill which he caught lat week, and which at first was not regarded as being of a seri ous nature. Mr. Parnell, however, grew worse and a physician was called in, .with the result that the patient was ordered to tak"c to his bed. This was on Friday last and from that time Mr. Parnell lost strength and finally succumbed. Expired in Ills Wife's Arms. From the day he took to bed the state of his health was such as to necessitate the constant attendance of two physicians, but in spite of their incessant and untiring efforts to prolong or to save his life, Mr. Parnell gradually sank lower and lower until he expired in the arms of Mrs. Par nell, who is utterly prostrated by the shock experienced through her husband' death The son of Dr. William Itichard Powers, P. 1L S., theauthorof many important med ical work, on dNea-.es. of tiie brain and of the spinal cord, who Ins been attending Mr. Parnell, was the physician who watched the closins hours of his life. Tiic great leader's condition was so bad throughout Tuesday that Dr. Powers was unable to leave his bedside from early that morning until Mr. Parnell breathed his last. This evening Mrs. Parnell is receiving a large number of telegraphic messages from apparently all parts of the world, all of them containing words of condolence with her in her bereavement. A dSpatch sent from Brighton at ." P. M. to-day says that Mrs. Parnell continues in a couditiou too prostrated to be able to see anyone. Her eldest daughter is with her. 5ecret!irnrs5 or the Physicians, The death of Mr. Parnell has not been registered. None of the local authorities of Brighton have been communicated with by the attending physician. Both the cele brated Dr. Power and his son refuse to make any statement as to the cause of his death or as to the progress of his sickne.-s. Tiie physieians refuse to make a statement on these subjects on the ground that no member of the Parnell familr has as yet ac corded them permission to sav anything on the iubject, and that until thcV receive sucli permission the physicians will under no circumstances say anything in reference to Mr. Parnell's death. An interview is published with a gentle man who accompanied Mr. Parnell to Kil kenny at the time of that memorable politi nal contest when his, candidate, Mr. Yin cent Scully, was so badly defeated bv the late Sir John Pope Hcnncser, theanti Parnellite candidate. This interview fur nishes some interesting reminiscences of the dead lea er of Ireland. The person inter viewed says that he has seen Mr. Parnell tilting with folded arms, eoid, calm and in scrutable dnriug the sittings of the Com- NOW. mission at Kilkenny. Necessity alone, he says, compelled Mr. Parnell to doff his habit of sphynx-like silence and made him disclose all his strength. His bearing upon that occasion surprised even his most inti mate friends. He continues: Tireless In Campaign Work. "To outsiders having the unpopular nega tive conception of him, this strong, fierce man wilhan imperious will was a revelation. He put his whole force into every word he uttered and into every blow he struck. No effort was too great if only something, how ever small, resulted from it. One very fatiguing day when he (Mr. Parnell) had been speaking in remote parts of the con stituency (North Kilkenny) in the even- 1 ing alter dinner he unexpectedly resolved to start out again with the object of address ing a meeting which was to be held in a re mote little village. "It was a bitterly cold night and a biting wind was blowing. Fastening a bandage over the eye which had been injured bv having lime thrown in it by one of the Kil kenny anti-Parnellitics, " Mr. ParnelU in spite of the weather drove 10 miles in a januting car to the little hamlet, where the political meeting was to be held. So bit terly cold was the wind and so sharp the frost that the reporters in attendance upon Mr. Parneli were utterly unable to hold their pencils. But the cold did "not seem to worry thelrish leader. As he stood tip in the jaunting car to address the electors Mr. Parnell's beard was white and sparkling with hoar frost and ice. In spite of his courage he found that the cold had hurt his voice so he said so hoarsely, "Give me a cigarette." Speaking to an Audience of Ten. "After lighting the cigarette handed to him and taking several puffs at it, just suf ficient to enable him to control his utter ance, he spoke for fully half an hour to an audience of perhaps ten people present outside of his immediate entourage. And, out of these ten people present, possibly three of them were voters. But Mr. Parnell thought that even these few voters were worthy of all effort. To any other man it would have seemed ridiculous to be perched upon a jaunting car in the -wilds of Kil kenny at night time, in bitterly cold weather, shouting to au audience composed of a few men and children, his de termination not to be put down by English dictation. But the fiery energy of Mr. Parnell made this seem natural enough. "He must have known from the first that he would fail in his efforts to elect his can didate, Vet he fought on with a desperate fierceness throughout thecampaicn. Hisen- croaching personality dwarfed his strongest lollowers into notmngness. A man joininc the Parnellite party became a cypher. MrT Parnell's followers only dared to speak to him with lowered breath His authority over them was as complete as that of a head master over a number of bovs." DETAILS OF HIS DEATH. AN UNSIGNED MESSAGE STARTED THE SUICIDE THEOKT. How Captain O'Shea Received an Early Intimation of His Rival's Demise The Excitement in London Mrs. Parnell's Emphatic Denial. London, Oct. 7. During the morning Captain O'Shea, Mrs. Parnell's divorced husband, who lives also at Brighton, came up to the city as is his daily habit. Upon arrival in London Captain O'Shea called upon his solicitors. At their office he was shown a telegram that had been sent by Mrs. Parnell, in which she requested that a clerk of the law firm be dispatched at once to her home at Brighton. While preparations for compliance with Mrs. Parnell's message were being made, and soon after its receipt, another dispatch this one without signature was received by the law firm stating that Mr. Parnell had committed suicide. By driblets this crept forth upon the streets and people who heard would ejaculate, "What, another?" Tims an added interest was lent to the fact of Mr. Parnell's demise, and public in terest ran high until after midday. At 1 o'clock this afternoon, 13 hours after the event of Parnell's death only 52miles awar, detailed news came to London. And thus, in brief, the story ran: The leader's system had become enfeebled by anxiety, irregu larity and exposure duringsome weeks past To the enfeebled svstem a cold attached itself on Thursday last during Mr. Par nell's return from'lrciand. He took to his bed and there remained. The symptoms grew alarming Fridav and Saturday. Sunday his difficulty was desig nated as acute rheumatism, and the patient grew more ill, suffering much, it is said, un til exhausted and unconscious, he is said to have expired at 11:30 o'clock last night in his Brightou home. The early report that Mr. Parnell died by his own "band spread far, and among the persons whom it reached was Mrs. Parnell. To-night she re quests that an emphatic denial bo given ru mors that her husband committed suicide. She states that he had long suffered lrom rheumatism.which developed into the fever that killed him. It appears that Mr. aud Mrs, Parnell fully pBpmtsg PITTSBURG-, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 8. intended having a religions marriage cere mony performedj but the vicar of Steyning refused to officiate on the ground that Mrs. Parnell was a divorced woman. The vicar, however, offered to lend the use of his church for the ceremony, if Mr. Parnell found a clergymen to officiate. The bishop of the diocese then forbade the ceremony as the parties were already civilly married. Finally, through Mr. Parnell's perseverence it was" arranged that Rev. Mr. Penfold, of St. James, should officiate and Mr. Par nell intended to seek a license when the Bishop of Chichester, who was on the Con tinent, returned. HIS HEALTH WAS FRAIL. HE WAS UBGED IN VAIN TO TAKE MORE CAKE OF HIMSELF. Parnell's Followers Declare They Will Con tinue Their Independent Fight The Arrangements for tlio Funeral Grief at the Irish Capital Finds Full Sway. Dublin, Oct. 7. Now that Mr. Parnell is dead it is said that it was a matter of notoriety among his intimate friends his health has been rapidly declining for months past. His friends and doctors, they sayi urged him in vain to be more careful, bnt all theirremonstranees -were unavailing. Mr. Parnell continued' toTvork at the high est'pressure and underwent constant pri vations and fatiguing journeys which would have ruined the health of the strongest man. After the Sligo election, when Bernard Collery, the anti-Parnell candidate, defeated Mr. Parnell's candidate, Valentine B. Dil lon, it is privately admitted that Mr. Par nell was greatly depressed and ho felt him self obliged to resort to stimulants in order to sustain his nerves. At Creggs, September 27, Mr. Parnell complained of suffering from a peculiar pain in the region of his heart, which he said had never troubled him before. This was in addition to the rheumatic trouble in the arm. The Arrangements for the Funeral. The members of the National League now in this city are making arrangements neces- ary to attend the funeral. The members of Parliament and ""others who remained followers of Parnell in spite of evervthinir. at a meeting held to-day appointed Pierce Mahoney and John Redmond a committee to proceed to Bricbton to-night in order to be of all the assistance possible in making necessary arrangements for the funeral. The corporation of Dublin has been sum moned to a meeting for to-morrow, at which sympathy with Mis. Parnell will be ex pressed and where a call will he issued for a public funeral. There was really tremendous excitement in this city when the report of Mr. Par nell's death spread among the masses. The offices of the National League were fairly besieged with an excited concourse of warm hearted Irishmen, who had forgotten all about the divorce troubles of Mr. Parnell in their desire to express sympathy with the great leader of the Irish people. Many tear-stained faces were seen among the crowd. The Factional Fight Will Continue. Prominent Parnellites who have been in terviewed upon the subject of Mr. Parnell's death, declare that it will not affect their position and that they intend to continue in independent opposition to the party which has fought against their leader. The first news of the death which was re ceived in this city was through Mr. Par nell's brother. in-law, Mr. McDermott, to whom Mrs. Parnell telegraphed the news. The Mail to-day, commenting on Mr. Par nell's death, says that of the manv enemies Mr. Parnell had in Ireland even the most bitter will be shocked at the suddenness of his death. "For months past," the Mail adds, "he has looked as if he was breaking down under a stress of battle too severe even for a strong man. Though his cause was helpless, he was still a thorn in the side of Mr. Gladstone, and might still have in fluenced elections. Now the battle for home rule must be fousht on its merits. All th same, every generous heart will lament the tragio career of the Irish Rienzi." PARNELL'S AHTAGOrTISTDEAD. Sir John Pope Hennessey Who Gave Ex-Leader His First Defeat. the Cork, Oct 7. Sir John Pope Hennessey, M. P., for North Kilkenny, died at his resi dence, Rostellan Castle; Cloyne, about 15 miles from here, at 8:30 this morning. He was born in Cork in 1834. He was a mem ber of Parliament for Kings county from 1859 to 1865, voting as a National Conserva tive and a member of the Irish Independ ent party. Sir John acted with the Irish party on Irish questions, but supported Mr. Disraeli on imperial questions. He has described himself as advocating the rights of labor, public competition for public em ployment, the independence of Poland, de nominational education, tenant right, home rnle and the independence ot the Sovereign Pontiff, and as opposing Irish coercion bills. Sir John was Governor of Lebuan, in 16C7;'of the West African settlements, 1872; of the Bahamas, 1673; of ,Barbadoes and the Windward Islands, 1875: of Hong Kong, 1877, and of the Mauritius, 1882 to 1889, when he resigned. He. "was made K, C M. tx. in 1880. He received the freedom of the city of Cork on December 22, 1890. Sir John was elected member of Parliament to fill the seat for North Kilkenny, made va cant bv the death 'of"Mr. Mardml As a re sult of a most exciting election, Sir John, as the candidates of the anti-Parnellites, received 2,527 votes as against 1,365 votes cast for his opponent, Mr. Vincent Scully. PARNELL'S SUCCESSOR. PARTISAN SAYS REDMOND CONTINUE THE FIGHT. WILL Other Opinion at Cork Is That the Fac tional Struggle Will Now Cease Un feigned Sorrow Among Political Friends and Foes His Projected Amer ican Visit. Cork. Oct 7. The announcement of the death of Mr. Parnell produced here a feel ing of stupefaction. It was at first received with incredulity. When later and confirm atory dispatches were received groups of people gathered in the streets and discussed the sad event, many showing poignant grief. The feeling was shared by the polit cal opponents of Mr. ParnelL Mr. Par nell's Parliamentary connection with Cork during tiie greater part ot his career was so entirely in harmony with the people that even tfiose who were latterly bitterly op posed to him express great grief at the sud den and tragic close of his brilliant career. Current opinion among the McCarthyites agrees that his death ends all national feud among Irishmen, and the consensus of opin ion is that it will increase the weight ot the Irish vote. Prominent members of the Nationalist party at Liverpool, upon beiug interviewed, declared that nothing can sever the partv at the next eeneral election, and that they will make a clean sweep of all the Irishdistricts. Mr. Scott, the Liberal candidate for the Commons for East Manchester, said that . ingiistimen and Irishmen alike preler to forget his miserable aberrations of the past few months. Parties' and politics would now settle themselves apart from the dis turbing element of Parnell's powerful and restless perversity, and the split in the Irish party would be healed. The Secretary of the Newcastle branch of the Parnellite League says that John Red- mona will succeed to the leadership ot the Parnellites and maintain the struggle. Mr. Parnell continued to attach the greatest importance to the support he re ceived from America. He only abandoned his proposed trip to the United States this autumn when he was convinced that it would be fatal to be absent from Ireland. He had decided, however, at all risks to go before the general election took place to raise funds. HIS AGED MOTHER'S GRIEF. THE NEWS FIRST BROKEN TO HER BY A NEW YORK REPORTER. She Becomes Hysterical Parnell Was a Good Son to Her Having Given Up Her Children to Ireland Sho Is Through With HerCanse. Bordentown, N. J., Oct. 7. The news of her son's death was first made known to Mrs. Parnell bv a reporter this morning. When the reporter was announced, Mrs. Parnell evidently divined that he had some Information relating to Mr. Parnell, for she exclaimed: . "What has befallen my son?" Seeing that the reporter hesitated, she continued, "Is he ill, pr worse; has he been shot, or did he shoot himself?" The reporter broke the news to her as gently as possible, and when he at last an nounced that Mr. Parnell was dead, the white-haired mother reeled backward and fell upon the floor. "Oh, my son! Oh, my good, kind Charles, they have killed you," she shrieked. Her grief was heartrending. She was seized with hysterics, and by turns she laughed and wept "That viper!" she exclaimed, after she recovered, pointing a long bony finger at the house of her half-brother, Edward Stew art; "that viper over there kept me away from him. He began a suit for ?15,000 against me to dispossess me from my home, and I spent my all defending it. He Was Good to His Mother. "When Charles wrote to me asking me whether I needed anything I told him the crops were brincinjr me in plentv of moner. That cheered him and it pleased me to ray so, although I was in poverty. Oh, he was a good and dutiful son and never neglected me. Lies, lies, lies all lies, when they sav he refused to provide for me. I sav it's slander foul slander." Then the old lady paced up and down the room sobbing con vi lsi vei v. "It's Michael Davitt and the Irish World's persecution and the politicians that have killed him," she criei. "I knew this last trouble would be his death, and to think that I could not be near him at all on ac count of these vipers. For 50 years I have besn trying to do something for the Irish people, and my reward is the death of my children. I have lost three daughters, twb grandsons and now a son." "His death," said she, after a moment's pause, "has been caused by the persecution of his enemies. I believe that as fully as I believe that I am here at the present mo ment The troubles have not come on him singly, but so thick and fast that his grand heart has at last been able to bear no more. His heart has been broken, and that was the cause of his death. In the death of my son Ireland has lost her best friend. No other would have done or could have done so much for the people as he." Doubted His Death Was Natural. At intervals, Mrs. Parnell's voice was chokd with sobs, and in each instance it was some moments before she could pro ceed. "I do not believe he died a natural death," she said at one point. "If he did it was because his heart was broken, and there was no other cause whatever, no mat ter what physicians say." At present the old lady she is 76 years of age lives alone, with the exception of the presence of one friend, in what is left of the big house known as Ironsides. The peculiar title came to it because it was the one bv which old Commodore Stewart was known in his time. Mrs. Parnell says that with the death of her son she has done with her efforts for Ireland. "He gave his life for her," she said, "and that is enough. "All I ask is to be permitted to see his body laid away in the grave, and I hope they will embalm and keep the body until I can be present at the services." Although Mrs. Parnell claims that she is not in want, she is living here in abject poverty. PACTIONS Witt BETHITE. Only the O'Shea Matter Dimmed a Glory Equal to O'Connor's. Cincinnati, Oct. 7. J. p.

It will be protection against free trade. The long-looked-for event in the Ohio campaign is about to take place at last. Already cor respondents from the great journals be tween New York and Chicago are on the ground. It will be many a day before this little college town will be honored again with such an assemblage of people as will swarm in her streets in the morning. Preparations haye been made to entertain 25,000, and this number is expected. Ten thousand is a mighty big crowd, and will fill up the average town. The debate will occur in the fair ground, where a grand 6tand has been erected and seats for 7,000 have been provided. The decorations are of a strietly non-partisan character. Neither Democrat nor Kepublican objects to the flag, and both wrap themselves around in its ample folds. The stars and stripes are most frequently seen. HONORS ARE ABOUT EVEN. Several arches have been built across the streets. On one is the simple word "Wel come;" on the other is "Our Leaders." Pictures of McKinley and Campbell abound in the windows, but the citizens have been careful to have one as well repre sented as the other. The Campbell and the McKinley clubrooms are close together, and judging by external appearances, one is not any more elaborate than its competi tor. The candidates, when they get here, will find nothing offensive staring them in the face, so far as the Ada people are con cerned. It remains for the partisans in both parties to demonstrate that they will be as equally fair and considerate. It is very cold to-night, and the raw air and threatening weather will probably keep away a great many people who intended to come. So much the better for Ada if this be true. Nearly all the railroads in the State will run special trains and both sides will be well represented. A. MONOPOLY or MUSIC. I am told the Republicans have hired all the bands for miles around, but the Demo crats won't be behind them in making music The conntrv folks must not be forcbtten. and when --all the farmers and their sons reach here their vehicles will, swamp the town. President Lehr, of the Ada Normal School, who arranged the debate, has made great preparations for the event and there will De ample provisions lor evcrjruuu. The ladies and churches have put np tables and booths to feed the crowd. This was done at Niles, where all the congregations expected to make enough mony to build ad ditions to the parsonages, and the trades men laid in supplies of food,and then fondly figured on profits that never came. When the crowd left the town at night the vendors of provendor were disgusted. The bulk of their stock remained, and it is said for the next week the river was black with ham sandwiches that were thrown away. The same fate may be awaiting the kind Ada people. BOTH PRINCIPALS ARE READY. I saw Governor Campbell and Chairman Neal at the Union depot in Columbus this morning. The Governor expeefs to arrive here about midnight, and McKinley will reach the place from Canton about noon to morrow. Mr. Campbell has been preparing for the debate since Monday. He is loaded down with free trade facts and documents. McKinley laid off to-day to get his matter in shape. N either candidate nas anything to cive out in advance. The Governor is very angry over the at tacks made on his credit by some of the Republican newspapers. Some of his friends are advising him to make a state ment on the platform and then ask McKin ley what he thinks of such campaign meth ods. It is not likely the Governor will heed this advice. It was rumored that Campbell telegraphed the Major to learn if he had anything to do with the recent assaults made upon him. There is nothing in this story, either. The Governor and McKinley are warm personal friends, and the latter has never hesitated to condemn the nse of abusive methods. The Governor, however, is in a very defiant mood, and he is deter mined to make the papers retract. REPUBLICANS CONDEMN IT. The sudden change in the Republican policy was the chief topic of conversation in political circles in Columbus to-day. The Republicans in the main regretted "that the attacks had been made. They said they were unnecessary, and marred the success ful and decent fight that had been made. They realize that such a plan, if pursued, will only make votes for the Governor. In the debate Mr. Campbell intends to take a decided stand on the tin issue. He claims tin plate is not and can't be made in America. Col. W, A. Taylor, Chief Clerk oi tne senate ana a lormer newspaper writer, has had specimens of the Piqua tin analyzed by Professor Keffer, Assistant Chemist of the Ohio State Universit v. The composition was found to be, tin, 9.274; lead, a0"2; iron with carbon, 87.654; zinc, un weighable. The Colonel says the analysis shows it is not tin plate at all. To begin with the basis of tin plate is steel and that anybody can coat iron. He claims the American rolling mills don't turn out steel plates fine enough for ordinary tin ware. NO DEMAND FOR THEM. There is no demand for the plates, and, according to the scale of wages, it would cost 58 per day for rollers. "He savs the Yankees can't roll the plates cheap enough, even wini me tarin on tin, to compete witn the Welsh. The Colonel adds that the Demmler and Apollo tin plate is of the -same composition and not a whit better than the Piqua article. Governor Camp bell expects to score a big point agaiust tiie Major when he reads the analysis of the Piqua tin plate. Colonel Taylor is. the man, in connection with the legislative committee, who drafted the new ballot law. In speaking of it this afternoon he said: "It is not as complicated as the Republi cans claim, but very simple. The uominit tees digested all tho ballot laws in the country, and then adopted the best features. X don't think there is, a State that has a fairer or better law. The Republicans, however, are mortally afraid of it. They fear it more than anything else in this cam paign. It will put a stop most effectually to all bulldozing, and for once citizens will vote as they think.-not as they are-driven. COLORED VOTES FOR CAMrBELL. "There are 30,000 colored voters in Ohio ADA Xjjaj and I know that Campbell will get more of them than he did two years ago. I allow 1,500 votes as Campbell's loss in Hamilton county, on account of the disaffection there, but he will come down to Hamilton with a majority of 10,000 votes. McKinley will have a plurality in Hamilton county of 5,000. The Democratic kickers will not cast their ballots for the Major. "I will wager that half the People's party vote in the State will come from Hamilton county. Five weeks ago the new party would have polled 100,000 votes, but on election day they will do well to eet 5,000. In Cincinnati the disgruntled Democrats will vote for Seifz. This is only a half instead of a full ballot off Campbell. At present I think the candidates have even chanaes. It is not one-sided, as the Repub licans believe. Why, I remember when men like Pendleton and Thurman couldn't draw a corporal's guard to hear them speak in the Western Reserve, but look at the meeting Campbell had over there. A -VOTING SCHOOL STRAW. "The Republicans fail to take into consid eration the strong tendency throughout the State against the tariff. "Here is a signifi cant fact: In the Cincinnati voting school just closed 3,500 votes were cast Of these 300 cut the Governor, and 130 slashed Mc Kinley and substituted Campbell's name." To-morrow is the first registration day un der the new law, and everybody who wishes to vote must register over again. The voting schools established in the State by both parties are doing good work. Next week Major McKinley will go over the ground traversed by Campbell in the West ern Reserve. The Republicans are not rattled, but they don't want to take any chances with the stronghold. Next Thurs day will be a big day at Dayton, when Mc Kinley, Sherman and Foraker will mee,t on the same platfr-m at the fair. Israel. V A, , VX CANT0IT. 7 ".

AN ORGANIZED EFFORT WILIi MADE TO DETHRONE QUAY. BE An Address Sent Oat From Headquarters In Philadelphia Denouncing the Senator A Strong Attempt to Be Made to Defeat Him for Senator. Philadelphia, Oct 7. Special X strong independent high tariff Republican organization has been forming in this State since the meeting of the late State conven tion for the purpose of dethroning Senator Quay from the party leadership and defeat ing his election to the United States Senate by the Legislature which is to be elected next year. This movement reached one of its important stages to-day when an address signed by-350 leading Republicans of this city and State was issued. The address goes over the old Quay domi nation story; denounces, him. for the present demoralizecLcondition of affairs in the State; declares that, he 4s. .'responsible for the McCamant and Bardsley issue; declares that, he has been proven to have himself looted the State Treasury in years gone by, and that he fought ballot reform. The address closes thus: The object of those who have signed this address is to secure the recognition of com mon honesty and the establishment of sound political methods in the management of tjie aflairs of this Commonwealth, and to restore Pennsylvania to her original position of honor among the States of the Union. To accomplish this end, and as a natural out growth of the protest, an organization will be formed to break the power of spoils poll tics in this State and to obtain a fitting representative of Pennsylvania Interests in the Senate of the United States upon the termination of the Incumbency of 'Senator M. S. Quay. The address is signed by Herbert Welch, Chairman; Francis B. Reeves, Walter Wood, John Rodman Paul, George E. Mapes, George E. Strowbridge, M. D.; Fin ley Acker, Charles Richardson, Hampton L. Carson and 300 others. Among the oth ers are some of the most prominent Repub licans in the State, like Charles Heber Clark, Rev. W. M. McVicar, rector of Holy Trinity; George Burnhamand John H. Con verse, of Baldwin's Locomotive Works.

SOME INTERESTING POLITICAL GOSSIP C. L. Magee returned on Tuesday night from an extended visit to the East. Mr. Magee never looked more robust in his life. When found at the entrance to the Freehold Bank yesterday afternoon he looked a picture of contentment and ease. Around him were gathered a number of business and political friends. As a rule Mr. Magee is not given to talk. He is a delightful listener, however. He has not been heard from so far in the pres ent campaign, and he said more yesterday for'publication than he is likely to say again before the November election. "How did you find politics in the East, Mr. Magee ?" was asked. "I found everything moving along quietly," he answered. "I spent consider able time at the Republican headquarters in Philadelphia, and everything seemed to be working to the entire satisfaction of all concerned there." "Are you for the Republican State ticket?" "I am sir, heartily." MAGEE tVILL GO INTO THE FIGHT. "Will you take any part in the cam paign?" "Yes, sir. In the contest I will take the part I usually take in campaigns," saying which Mr. Magee laughed heartily. "Will the Republican ticket be elected in Pennsylvania this fall?" "I don't think there is any question of it The Bardsley affair has created some stir throughout the State, but this contest is of the greatest importance to the Republican party, and I think we will have the usual Republican majority. This campaign hears directly on the Presidental fight of '92. It is of much greater importance than was the contest of a year ago, aud I see no reason for alarm," "What do yon think of the proposed Constitutional Convention?" "I don't think there will be any Consti tutional Convention, and that's about all X know on that subject" "Tell me of the extra session of the Senate?" "There is-little-toteil." I am, entirely satisfied that Governor Pattison was prompted by political purposes when he called-for the extra session of the Senate. I tell you," Mr. Magee went on with some warmth, "good government is the best ser vice any offiicial can render to his party but manipulating the state's affairs for iarty profit is not good government, and will be of lit tle service to the Democratic party. If Mr. Pattison had been prompted by a de sire for pure government or an ambition to thoroughly investigate the grave charges made against our State Treasurer and Audi tor General he would not have demanded the investization in the heat of a State campaign when an unprejudiced inquiry is impossible. No, he would have waited until after the November election. Then the investigation would have been com plete. If the Republican officials are cor rupt, as alleged, the Democratic party would have profited by the investigation. As it is, the Republican party will lose nothing, and the Democratio party can gain nothing by the proposed investigation. DENIES TROUBLE IN THE PARTY. Is there any disaffection in the Repub lican party in Pennsylvania on account of the nlleged corruption of the State affairs?" "Not that I know of. There may be, however, but I think the people will vote their party convictions this fall on account of the approaching Presidental fight" "What do you know of the straightout movement in Allegheny county?" "I don't know anything about it" "What do you think of the proposition to purchase the old postoffica and erect on the site a citv hall building and devote the present Citv-Hall to police purposes?" '!I think it is a joke. The city is not pre pared for the outlay. There is plenty of convenient property that can be purchased upon which to erect a Central Police station. The leasing of the old Central station build ing to other parties is not a serious matter and the city will be able to lease or purchase another building and will go along as though nothing had happened." CE0WDED BY CALLERS. The Republican Headquarters Lively Dor. Ing Yesterday. The rain and the gloom that depressed the outside world rather enlivened Republican headquarters in the DisrATCH building yesterday. The place was crowded with callers nearly all day. The report that State Chairman Watres was expected in the city and the hope that he would be found at his party's headquarters brought many of the leaders ont to see him. County Commissioner Mercer had drop ped inhe said, "just to see the boys." He held a protracted conference with Chair man Gripp, however, and left the place smiHntr. Register Samuel Conner delayed the clerks bv telline stories, and Recorder Von Bonnhorst entertained the crowd by reciting bits of poetry. Gamble Weir said he was there to give the place police pro tection if necessary. John Ennis, the straightout Democratic leader, spent part of the afternoon chatting with Secretary Georce W. Miller and all thinzs considered the day at the headquarters was a decidedly busy one. The Democratic headquarters in the Bur gwin building at Cherry alley and Fourth avenne were opened last night, and the Sec retary of the County Committee and his as sistants will be at work there this morning. i A W0ED FE01I WESTMOBELAND. John Y. Wood Talks on the Constitu tional Convention. John Y. Wood, one of Westmoreland County's Democratic candidates for dele gate to the proposed Constitutional Conven tion, attended yesterday's session of the Supreme Court in Pittsburg. Mr. Wood is an ardent Democrat, but he is decidedly in dependent at times. He is earnestly in favor of a constitutional convention and he has no mercy in denouncing the Legislature for its (ailure to provide for the tickets and blanks necessary to hold such an election.
