TELEGBAM TO TBI DISrATCtI.1 Kew Yoke, Sept. 19. "It's packed from hell to heaven." A Democrat was sitting on the edge of the platform of the Brooklyn Academy of Music at 7:05 o'clock this evening shot this expressive comment over the footlights. Five thousand persons "were packed in the ;reat building and thousands stood utEide. It was the gala nickt of the Brooklyn Democrats gathered to hear Senator David Bennett Hill open the na lonal campaign in Kings county. It was . turn out of Democrats such as has not oeen seen in a generation. It was far away ahead of any demonstration of similar char acter since the Tilden campaign. The vast audience on the main floor and in the gal leries was dotted with ladies, and the nod ding plumes on their bonnets kept rhythmic time to the tumultuous app'are. "When at last the Senator appeared in full view, the great billow of applause broke and crashed and thundered. Con temn swung his baton like a sabre. His men responded with "Hail to the Chief. The Nolsa of tho Band Drowned. They played nobly, but the echoes of the historic air were scarcely audible above the tumultuous cheering. The Senator, hold ing a r.ew silk hat and dressed in a frock coat and gray troupers, stood calm amid the din. He bowed modestly in all directions and advanced with Colonel Pearsall to a seat in front. Near by sat District At torney Itidgway, Colonel James E. Jones, Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, ex-Judge Beardseley, "William C Dewitt and every Brooklyn Democrat ever known to fame. Even as Hill sat down, the great cheer ing was continued. The ladies on the floor and in the boxes waved their handkerchiefs and fans at the bachelor statesman. The ringing welcome was carried upward among the galleries and rolled back again and was continued, the band pounding away all the time. Senator Hill's face was in a broad smile. A long Wait Tor Silence. At last the audience was ready to listen to Colonel Feared), and, raising his hand for quiet, introduced the speaker. Repre sentative Combs made a short speech; then, turning to where Senator Hill sat, said: "It was not necessary for him (nodding his bead toward the Senator) to say I am a Democrat. His whole liie on that question is more eloquent than words. I shall not delay the enthusiastic reception which awaits the Hon. David B. Hill." 1 Inslantlv tho tumult broke forth again. The scene on the Senator's entrance was re pelled. Bowing and smiling in all direc tions, the Senator pulled ont his watch, and laying it on the table in front of him, waited for order. It did not come. Hen stood on seats and roared, the women flaunted handkerchiefs, and at every cessa tion voices roared, "Three more cheers for Datid B. Hill." It was one of the greatest w elcomes in the Senator's career. Finally Colonel Fearsall raised his hand and quiet came. The Senator then spoke as follows: The Senator Is Still a Democrat, "I am reminded of the fact that it was in this edifice upon a memorable occasion in 1S85 that I had the honor of expressing to the intrepid Democracy of Kings county the sentiment, 'I am a Democrat,' and under the existing political situation, I know of no more appropriate place or presence than here to declare that I was a Democrat before the Chicago convention, and I am a Democrat stil). "The National Democratic Convention of 1S92 has passed into history with its record, its triumphs and its disappointments. The wisdom ol its action is not now to be ques tioned. It was the court of last resort, established by party usage as the final i arbiter to determine the conflicting inter ests of claims of candidates, States and sec- , tions, and its dccibion will be accepted with oal acquiescence by every true and patri otic Democrat w bo recognizes the necessity of party organization and discipline and ; respects the obligations which he assumes in its membership. "From this time forward.imperative duties are imposed upon us. Factional appeals should now cease; the spirit of resentment bl.nuld be abandoned; State pride should be subordinated to the general good; real or fancied grievances should be dismissed; personal ambitious should be sacrificed, and individual disappointments should be for gotten in this great emergency, which de HUI GROVER'S N A , v 1 -Sl. mands from us all the exhibition of a wide spread and lofty party patriotism. He Quotes Ills Fourth of July Speech. "Permit me to repeat what I had the honor of expressing to the Tammany Soci ety on the Fourth of July last, before the echoes ot our National Convention had scarcely died away, as follows: " 'Oar course at the present tlmo Is plain. In tho approaching struggle the Democracy of Now Tork should present a solid front to tho common enemy. Loyalty to cardinal Democratic principles and to regularly nom inated candidates la the supreme duty of tho hour. "I reiterate those sentiments now. "We are entering upon the twenty-seventh Pres idental election since the organization of our Government. The good citizen, de sirous of discharging his full duty in this crisis according to his conscience and his judgment, uninfluened by selfish consider ations, will discover two great parties ar rayed against each other, struggling for tho control of the Government and appealing to the people for suffrages." He reviews the history of the two parties and continues: "If I were asked to define the one funda mental difference between the two parties, I should state that one believes in a strict construction of the Federal Constitution and the other in a loose one. Divided by the General Welfare Clause. "One party believes that the general Government's powers should be confined to those which are specifically granted, and that nothing can be done under the general welfare clause except the exercise of those functions which are incidental and necessary to the carrying out of the expressed powers, while the other believes that under that clause the powers ot Congress are substan tially unrestricted and limited only by its wise discretion. "Starting out with different vlewsj of the constitution, the two parties naturally have enunciated different theories of Govern ment, especially upon the all-important subject ot Federal taxation. "A division upon the tariff question was inevitable. The Republican party advo cates the doctrine that the Government has a constitutional, as well as a mora), right to impose tariff duties for the purpose of en couraging the building up of private indus tries, by the imposition ot duties sufficiently large enough to prevent foreign competi tion, irrespective of the question ot the needs of the treasury; while the Democratic party believes that the Government has only a constitutional and moral right to impose such duties as may be necessary to raise sufficient revenue to support the Gov ernment economically administered. This is the precise issue squarely stated. The Platform States the Question. "The Democratic national platform cives forth no uncertain sound upon this subject and correctly states the true position of the partv. It denies the constitntional power of the Government to impose taxes for other than public purposes. It correctly and substantially states the Democratic faith. "We have always insisted, and now insist, that no warrant can be found in the Constitution for the imposition of tariff duties to aid private industries, but wheth er such a tariff is constitutional or not, or whether it is practicable to have the ques tion properly raised or decided, the system itself is vicious in the extreme, unjust to the people and contrary to the spirit of our free institutions. "A tariff bill upon its face usually de clares that its object is 'to provide ways and means for the support of the Government;' and whether the duties are high or low, reasonable or exorbitant, prohibitory or otherwise, it is impossible for the courts to Ear that the purpose of the measure was not solely to provide revenue for the Govern ment", no matter what the true objects of its frauiers -ere. or whether omot the Treasury may already be oierCowing. Ko Itemed- in tlio Courts. "resides a law is not always held uncon stitutional although it may in some degree violate the spirit of the Constitution. The Constitution, as well as an act of Congress, can sometimes be successfully evaded with out adequate immediate remedy on the part of the people. Whether by reason of these difficulties it is ever practicable to obtain a determination of the constitutionality of a revenue law, ostensibly framed for the pur pose of raising revenue, but in fact intended for other purposes, it was competent for the National Contention to declare the position of the partv upon the subject. ".Republican protection does not consti tutionally exist, but is imposed upon the people by fraud, false pretense, evasion and gross abuse of the taxing power. All the so-called protection for which our op ponents have clamored and which they have obtained iu recent years, has been secured, not by Constitutional sanction, but by the abuse of the conceded taxing power ot the Government." He cites authorities in support ot his arcument and says: "In the light of these authorities, and under the arguments presented, fair-minded men will arrive at the conclusion that the Democratic party w as right when it declared that "Taxation lor private purposes is un constitutional.' Dill Believes In Incidental Protection. "I have read with all care the arguments urged oy tne two very able apostles or pro tection, Governor McKinley and Senator Aldrich, but I lail to discover that they present a single tenable ground upon which protection, pure and simple, can be consti tutionally defended. "Incidental protection, on the other hand, is unobjectionable. Tariffs should be imposed for the express purpose of revenue, and not for any private purpose. "We be lieve in revenue with incidental protection, and not in protection with incidental reve nue. In so far as the tariff is necessary to meet the necessities of the Government, it mav be imposed, and any other benefit whichniay be legitimately derived from its imposition may and does necessarily ac company it. If the burden imposed would operate to prevent foreign competition, the benefit is indirect and unobjectionable. "President Harrison, in his ingenious letter ot acceptance, endeavors to place our party in a falseattitude by calling attention to the fact that while our platform in 1884, readopted in 1888, contained an express plank upon this question of the equaliza tion of wages, yet it was omitted in 1892, and asserts that we have changed our posi tion. I beg to differ with him. There has been no chance. It is not hIwrtk nr&rti. cable to plaoe in a platform the details of proposed legislation. An Excuse for Dodging an Issue. "The platforms of 1881-8 were elaborate and lengthy, and it was desirable to simplify them. General principles were stated in 1892 rather than particulars as in 1884. There is no conflict between them. There was no necessity for the repetition of that plank, as the party's position upon it had been evidenced by the Mills bill, which had not been paed before the National Conven tions of 1&84 and 1888 were held. Parties are to be judged as much by their records as by their platforms. We stand not only upon our platform of 1892, but upon the Mills bill, which was the latest general Democratic legislation upon the tariff sub ject. That bill was as good an exposition of our principles as auy elaborate platform could possibly be. "If I were asked to define as concisely as possible the whole Democratio policy, I should state it substantially as follows: "We favor a tariff for revenue only, limited to the necessities of the Government econ omically administered, and so adjusted in its application, as lar as practicable, as to prevent unequal burdens, encourage pro ductive industries at home and afford just compensation to labor but not to create or foster monopolies. Thes$are the cardinal principles upon which the details ot all tar iff legislation should be based. "Our opponents profess to be disturbed PITTSBURG, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. because we have in our platform denounced 'Republican protection as a fraud. What else is it? It is a fraud for these conclusive reasons: 'First It Is secured by a palpably abuse of the taxing power of the Government. "Second It innies to the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. "Third It is based upon favoritism of the worst species. "Fourth It tends to create fictitious pros perity, to be followed by subsequent busi ness depression. "Fifth It la dcceptlvo In its promises and unsatisfactory in Its results. "Sixth Its principal beneficiaries con stitute a privileged class, and their im portunities for Governmental aid lead to public scandal and demoiallzatlon. "President Harrison and all the other great and small advocates of this vicious system, diligently seek to create the impression that the Democratio party has assumed a bolder attitude than formerly and become an advocate of absolute free trade I said in the campaign of 1888, in my open ing speech at the Academv of Music in New York City, that if I believed the Demo cratio party favored absolute free trade, I should not advocate its cause, and 1 repeat the statement here to-night, A Pine Distinction on Tariff Reform. "I insist that neither the Democratio party nor I have changed our position upon this question, but we stand where we have ever stood. Tariffreform does not mean free trade. Our opponents misrepresent our po sition now as tney have ever done since the famous tariff message of 1887. In that bis torio message our candidate expressly re pudiated the suggestion that he was enter ing upon any crusade of free trade. He did not demand that our tarm laws snouia do wiped out of existence." The speaker then quoted from ex-President Cleveland's message, and then takes up the McKinley bill, of which he says, in part: "It is undoubtedly true that in this State the aggregate amount of nil wages paid the year after its passage may have been greater than the aggregate amount paid the year preceding, but that does not prove any in crease in the rate of wages paid, and only shows that some new industries have been established or additional men employed in others. And it docs not appear that such increase has been any more than the usual natural increase occasioned by the steady growth of the State. Explaining Away More of Peck's Figures. "It may, possibly, also be true that there have been a few less strikes during the past two years than during the preceding two year's, but this may be attributed to the moderation and good judgment of our labor organizations, rather than to the effect of any tariff law. I know this much, that the Democratic party will be entirely con tent to permit every workiugman whose wages has been increased since the passage of the McKinley bill to vole the Repub lican ticket, if our opponents will consent that all those whose wages nave not oeen increased shall vote the Democratic ticket, and upon that basis we will carry the country by 1,000,000 majority. Coming to the force bill he says: "There is another issue in this campaign of equal, if not greater, importance than the tariff, which affects tho rights and liberties of every citizen. The Republican party seems to be irrevocably committed to the pasMage of the Federal elections bill, generally known as the "force bill," and although it must be evident to the most patriotic and thoughtful of men of that organization that it is a piece of political foolishness, only equaled by its mendacity, there has appeared for them no escape lrom its advocacy. Why Democrats Hato the Force DHL "I have not the time to-night to enter into any elaborate presentation of the de tails of this bill. It is sufficient for us to know that the only purpose ot the measure is to control for 'partisan advantage our elections, State and Federal. Federal elections cannot well be regulated and con trolled without interference with State elections they arc almost inseparable where thev are held at the same time. The existing Federal election law, bad as its provisions are, together with the danger of the enactment of the force bill, have already compelled several States to separate their State elections from Congressional and Presidental elections at the expense of and great inconvenience to the people. Our election machinery is costly enough already, and our elections should not be needlessly multiplied. "The proposed bill usurps the rights Ttnd prerogatives of the State, breaks down all the safeguards which have existed tor a century and place all our elections at the mercy of Federal officials who hold their offices for life. The bill is a desper ate attempt to prop up the failing fortunes of a once great political party. It was con ceived in political animosity, is urged from the narrowest and worst of motives and is unworthy a place among the statutes of the American Republic. Tho Democracy for Tree and Fair Elections. "The Democratic party desires free.honcst and fair elections everywhere. It desires them, not merely because they would inure to its benefit, but upon the unselfish and high ground that they are essential to the preservation of our free institutions. Our party has suffered much in the past from the corrupt and tyrannical election methods of our adversaries. "The Republican party is the party of wealth, ot plutocracy, ot corporate influ ence and of protected monopolists. Ours is a party of- the plain people, the men of moderate means, the 'bone and sinew' ot the country. "We have neither the disposition nor the means to corrupt our electors, and our party has been foremost in all the laud able efforts of recent years to place upon our statute books those re'orm election laws under which corruption, bribery and in timidation arc rendered difficult, if not im possible. , "There has been no such condition of af fairs at the South as to justify the enact ment of the Davenport measure. It is true that the colored people in large numbers are there voting the Democratic ticket, but this affords no sufficient reason for taking away from them, or from us, the control of their own elections. The colored people were not freed from slavery to become the slaves of the Republican party. The speaker then goes into State matters and closes as follows: "Fellow-citizens, I need not urge you to the performance of your full share in this campaign. Kings county was never known to falter in its duty. The interests involved demand the greatest sacrifices and our high est and best efforts. It is the welfare of the old Democratic party, which we all love so well which is at stake. I nlead not for in dividuals, but for the cause. In a great contest like this men are nothing, but principles are everything. Our candidates represent our principles, and our principles cannot prevail without the election of our candidates. The contest may be a severe one, but so much more glorious will be the victory if we win. Tammany Will Be at tho Front. "You need have no uneasiness The Old Guard' will do its duty. Look out for the raw recruits. "I believe that a large majority of the people of this country are convinced of the rightfulness of Democratic principles and want them to prevail; but the election will not win itself, and there must be complete organization. I repeat the injunction I uttered before the Democratio State Con vention at Albany, in February last: 'It is our duty to organize, organize, organize." "With this motto inscribed upon our banner, 'Public office is a public trust,' supplemented by the other sentiments which I have endeavored to present to you to-night, 'No public taxation for private purposes,' and 'No force bill,' let us close up our ranks and buckle on our armor for the fight, with the determination to do all in our power for the triumph of our nartv and the election of our honored standard bearers, Cleveland and Stevenson."

The health officers were called last evening to No. 4 Extra place, in a double house, where a case of cholera had been reported to them. The house has more than 250 boarders. The patient is Louis Weinhagen, 35 years old, a coachman employed by William Schlemmer, a hardware merchant. Wein hagen spent the summer with the Schlem mers at Bayside and returned to the city a week or bo ago. Then he went to the big boarding house in Extra place. On Sunday it is reported he had an attack of diarrhceaand vomiting accompanied by cramps. He appeared to recover alter a time, but had a relapse. His condition be came so bad this afternoon that a doctor was called in, and he said it was a case of cholera. He would not undertake to say that it was Asiatic cholera, but he notified the Health Board. Two inspectors were sent to Extra place at once, and had Weinbagen removed to the reception ward. It was believed that he would not live through the night. The rooms were disinfected and the house was quarantined, and to-morrow the usual examination will be made by the ex perts to 'determine whether the disease is Asiatic cholera or not. Late to-night it was officially announced from Camp Low, Sandy Hook, thatFran cisco Mereno died of Asiatic cholera at 9 o'clock and the plague had broken out in camp. A widow, tho mother of four small children, was stricken at 10 o'clock to-night and she and her children were promptly isolated. Dr. Baucht, sanitarian, attributes the development of the disease to the heat of the day. A peculiar fact is that both were passen gers on the Normannia. Mereno's body will be removed to Swinburne Island in the morning for cremation. JtJs feared that a panic will occur when the new case is known in the morning.

The members of the Health Board were in a very cheerful state ot mind to-day.

The official report will be made to-morrow. An autopsy was made. Meanwhile the pier and the ship have beon disinfected, and by order of President WiUon, a quarantine of the ship is being maintained. More than 700 complaints of nuisances were received through the mails at the office of the Health Board to-day as a re sult of the call to the publio to co-operate with the Health Board in keeping the city clean. Beal Nuisances Are Scarce Now. Of the 3,000 complaints received last week, over 1,600 were found to be made on sufficient grounds, and notices were sent out to have the nuisances abated. Legal steps will be taken to have these notices enforced if they are not complied with within three days after they are served. A proof of the increased confidence of the publio is the diminution of the scare cases. One of the inspectors said to a re porter yesterday, "We have had more rest to-day than at any time since the first case of cholera appeared." The girl, Mary Conarty, will be dis charged from the reception hospital in a few days. It is generally conceded in medical quarters that Mary was not a cholera victim.

Day nnd Night Torces or Corpse Carriers Kept Bnsy little Ceremony After the Shadows of Night Fall The Record Con tinues to Show Decrease Hamburg, Sept 19. A correspondent, describing the method of burial of cholera victims, recently wrote: To convey 200 or 300 corpses from the hearse, the beer wagon or other vehicle to the grave in 10 hours, requires.from a dozen to 18 corpse carriers. To each litter six carriers are attached. The body is taken from the hearse and placed on the litter. The latter is lifted to the shoulder by the six carriers, the word is given by the leader, and the march to the grave begins. During the day this march is slow and solemn. At night it is brisk. Time is more valuable at night than during the day in the Ohlsorf Cemetery. Arrived at tho edge of the trench, the "corpse carriers" put the litter on the cround and lift the coffin from it to the bottom of the trench. They climb out of the trench, taking care not to allow their black frock coats to come in contact with the mould; pick up the litter, and march off for another body, slowly during the day, briskly in the night, in the fantastic shadows made by the trees under the glare of the flaring petroleum lights. Never before in the history of Hamburg have there been so many "corpse carriers" on duty as at present Temporary quarters have been built for them iu the cemetery. These quarters are simply wooden huts, tarred black. On nails which are stuck in the boards inside and outside, hang the official garments of the "corpse carrier." On an improvised table is a book, ink bottle and pens. A man sits at the table. He is very busy. He is putting numbers in a book. Each number represents a cholera victim. He tries to put all the numbers down. Some times the lreight arrives too rapidly, aud he simply does the best he can. Outside ol the wooden hut, on the ground, there are a dozen lanterns. These are used by the night "corpse carriers." Also out sfde the hut are two buckets. One of the buckets is filled with water that has been disinfected. The other contains a liquid disinfectant. Whenever the "corpse car riers" return from duty to the hut, they are expected to wash their bands and disin fect their frock coats. These buckets and the placards that keep them company are to be found at every turn. In the hurry and confusion many of the victims have oeen designated by numbers that do not agree with the numbers painted on stakes stuck in the ground at the head of the corpse in the trench, and many people will never know exactly where the remains of their loved ones are buried. There were reported in this city vester new cases of cholera and 82 deaths, day 1G9 ne a decrease ol 117 cases and 40 deaths com pared with the returns of yesterday. The returns of removals to the hospitals are also decreasing. So much less is the de mand for hospital accommodation that many vehicles used to transport hospital patients were dispensed with to-day. The total returns up to Saturday give the num ber of persons attacked by cholera as 15,00.) and the deaths as 6,701. IMMIGRANTS MAY COME. President Harrison and Secretary Poster Decido Not to Act i'uitlicr. Loon LAKr, N. Y., Sept. 19. It h learned to-night lhat Secretary Foster's visit to the President to-day was on the general question of the cholera quarantine, and that the conclusion was reached that no additional restriction in the matter of immigration are required under the exist ing conditions.

Anarchist Alexander Berkman is now within the great walls of tho Western Peni tentiary. Last night he slept away the first hours of his 22 years' sentence in one of the top tier of cells that line the interior of the main building. Dressed in the convict's stripes he turned on the keeper that locked him in his cell and snapped his fingers in defiance at everyone and everything. As patrol wagon No. 2 started from the jail Berkman hissed curses through his teeth on the heads of all connected with his prosecution. He vented his hatred upon ALEXANDER BERKMAN, THE ANARCHIST. Mr. Frick and the company of which he is chairman; on the police and the prosecut ing attorney, and upon Herr Most and his associates. Handcuffed to him, and seated by his side, was Frank Shea, the South side burglar, on his way to serve out a term of 11 years in the penitentiary and one in the workhouse. It was 2:15 r. M. when they left the jail. No friends were present at the de parture to say goodby to either man. A curious crowd lingered in front of the building and gave vent to their feelings of satisfaction at seeing Berkman on bis way. Tlio Dcpartnro From tho Jail. Berkman had little to say to Warden McAleese, not even a "thank you" for tho many kindnesses he received from that official. The Warden satisfied his last de sire in the way ot indulgence with a pack age of cigarettes. With the stain of nico tine on his fingers, he calmly lighted one, while Shea whiffed from a strong "toby, and both went on their road. Berkman scarcely opened bis mouth until the Seventh street bridge was crossed. In the wagon were Police Officers James Glenn and Hugh Madden, Deputy Sheriff Robert Johnson in whose charge the prison ers were, big Tom Pender, of the Sheriff's office, and a DISPATCH reporter. The latter was the first to break tho silence by askiug Berkman if he were sorry for what he had done. The convict's answer was a string of oaths coupled with the as sertion, "I'm sorry I didn't kill him." Berkman then repeated the story of how he had watched Frick for a couple of days, of the ruse he employed to gain admittance THE PRISONER READING HIS DEFENS& to the Chairman's private office and of the attempted assassination. As to any at tempt to assault Mr. Leishmann, he denied positively. He saw the man, he said, when lie entered the office, but paid no attention to him. He knew Frick well and opened fire on him the moment he entered after swearing at him. He said Mr. Frick bad told an untruth in his evidence when he said that the second shot missed fire. It was the third that missed and then he used the knife Blade the Knife Himself. At this point Tom Pender suggested that Berkman must have brought the knife with him from New York. "Oh, yes," replied the would-be assasln, I made that knife myself a long time ago. I made handle and alL" Here McElroy produced the revolver with which Berkman endeavored to kill 11. C Frick, and asked the prisoner if he knew it In an instant he attempted to take hold of the blood-stained barrel, end stooped to kiss it In answer to a query from the reporter Berkman answered that he bad received no word of any kind from Emma Goldman. Having said so hs pulled from his pocket half a dozen letters which he destroyed one by one. He admitted having written several letters to New York, having addressed them anony mously to "Beer Saloon, 209 East Filth street, New York City." Occasionally ho received some money from his friends, never more than two dollars at a time, but the donators never signed their names.
