tEriCIAL TELEGBAM 10 THE DISPATCH.
XrT York, Sept. 30. Mr. Cleveland.ac
companied by Daniel G. Griffin, of the
Democratic State Committee, and Eichard
Watson Gilder, arrived in town this morn
lng'on the Fall river steamboat Pilgrim.
The ex-President and his literary friend
breakfasted at the Victoria. Breakfast was
scarcely over before W. C Whitney, chief
raanaeer of Jlr. Cleveland's campaign in
Hew York City and State, came to confer
with the candidate- The consultation -was
necessarily brief, as Hon. William R. Grace
was expected.
Mr. Whitner lelt the hotel in time not to
see Sir. Grace and the ex-Mayor and the
ex-President had an hour's talk with no
body else around. Mr. Grace said alter the
interview that the subject of a local anti-
- Tammany Hall Democratic ticket was not
broached Dy either Mr. Cleveland or him
self. Accepting this statement abont his
interest in the machine of the "wet feet,"
the two gentlemen must have discussed the
beautiful autumnal morning and exchanged
social confidences.
Cleveland Doesn't Fancy a Fight.
Mr. Cleveland himself would not discuss
with outsiders the topics he had talked
over with Mr. Grace, but immediately after
Mr. Grace left the hotel, and after Mr.
Cleveland had been greeted by Mr. Harrity
and Mr. Dickinson, and seen a second time
by Mr. Whitney, the word went out that
the "Web Feet" would not nominate a can
didate if they had any regard for the per
sonal wishes of Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Harrity and Mr. Dickinson were
feeling better. They appeared to be re
lieved of an embarrassing situation. Mr.
Whitney was uncommunicative, but he
looked like a man who had accomplished
his purpose. Jn a word, the programoe
adopted at Mr. Cleveland's last visit, that
the regular State, the Tammany and the
Brooklyn machines are the recognized
powers of the party in the State, will not
be changed. The "Wet Feet mustxsome
intojine if they want any of the loaves and
fishes. - """
Cleveland's Hotqp Nearly Beady.
Mr. Cleveland gave some time to his
personal affairs, and learned that his new
home at 12 West Fifty-first street will be
ready for him and his family in about a
week. It is his intention, meanwhile, to
emain at the Victoria, or at least until he
is satisfied that the political business ot
this trip is at an end. He declined to say
whether or not he wonld address the con
vention of Democratic clubs in the Academy
of Music. Tuesday.
Mr. Cleveland, entertained at luncheon
Mr. Harrity, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Whitney
and Mr. Quincy. At sundown Kepresenta
tiveW. Bourke Cockran came, and an
hour or so later he was followed by Edward
Murphy, Jr., Lieutenant Governor Sheehan,
Richard Croker and Hugh McLaughlin.
Mr. Cleveland dined with Mr. Whitney at
the hetel and passed the evening with a" few
personal friends.
The situation in the State of Louisiana was
the principal matter considered at the
Democratic National headquarters. J. J.
Bichardson, the National Committeeman
of that State, has been for several days in
the city urging that special attention be
paid to that State as one of those ot the
Northwest likely to be carried for Cleve
land and Stevenson.
Hill Has a Regiment or Visitors.
Senator Hill had a regiment of visitors at
his hotel. Lientenant Governor Sheehan
and the State Committeemen went up to
grasp his hand. In the afternoon the Sena
tor conferred with Mr. Murphy at the Hoff
man House. The Hoffman House is two
minutes' walk from the Victoria. He re
turned to the Kormandie, dined with per
sonal friends, and passed a quiet evening
with them.
Shortly after Senator Hill's conference
with Mr. Murnhy it was made known that
the State Committee would not nominate a
candidate for Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals at its meeting in the evening.
The meeting of the Democratic State
Committee at the Hoffman House in the
evening was over in no time. Mr. Murphy
presided. A resolution referring to the
question of the eligibility of Presidental
electors in the State to Mr." Cockran, James
W. Eidgway and Mr. Beckwith was
adopted, and the meeting ad
journed subject to the call of Mr.
Murphy. Hesitations as Presidental elec
tors were read from Erastus Corning, Presi
dent of a national bank in Albany; Charles
A. Sweet, President of a Buffalo national
bank; John H. Graham, of Brooklyn, and
A. McCall, of New York, directors in na
tional banks, and Benjamin L. Swartwood,
postmaster at Cayuta, Schuyler county.
Mr. Swartwood is a Cleveland holdover.
Anti-Snappers to Have a Ticket.
Whateves impressions the national com
mitteemen may have derived from inter
views it remains the fact that the anti
snappers are bound to run an anti-Tam-
Hxaany local ticket this fall. It mav be the
futme ticket that the County Democracy
nominates, but it will possess the merit
in 'the anti-snapper eye of being
opposed to the regular Democracy of the
city. The determination to run such a
ticket was readied to-night at the ad
journed meeting of the Committee of May
Movers. The same committee which con
ferred with the Democratic national
campaign managers regarding the
best means to be employed
by the anti-snappers to " help
the cause of Cleveland and Stevenson was
continued and v instructed to confer with
other Democratic organizations for the pur
pose of securing a union Democratic ticket.
Chairman A. D. Parker, of the committee,
said there will be no conference 'with Tam
many Hall on this subject
The convention of leaders was enthusias
tically in favor of the ticket, and would
have nmped into the field last night if it
had not been ior-the restraining influence
of the passive Mr. Grace. As it was,
speeches-were maOe in wh'ch William E.
- .Grace was mentioned as one who would be
acceptable as a Mayoralty candidate.
The passive Mr. Grace prevailed against I
the eager men who would nominate a ticket
at once. He let them know that he was In
favor of the ticket, but asked that the com
mittee be allowed to go through the form of
conferring with other organizations and re
port next Friday evening, when the whole
matter will be satisfactorily settled. Before
all this was arranged, areporthad been made
by Chairman Parker, of the committee
which had conferred with Messrs. Harrity,
Dickinson, Smalley andQoincy, of the
National Campaign Committee, on the best
means of helping the national ticket So
far as news was made pnblic there was
nothing in the report' beyond what has
already been published.
Mr. Grace is renorted to be in doubt
about the attitude of the German-American
voters in the local contest Mr. Grace has
been told that the German-American Cleve
land Union has secured the enrollment of
nearly 95,000 German-American voters in
this city, men who will vote for Cleveland,
and wlio may vote for a local ticket other
than that nominated bv Tammany. Mr.
Oswald Ottendorfer, wlio is its President,
said to-day that the union has 65,000 en
rolled members in the city, and not 95,000.
Mr. Grace sat for his photograph at
Saronv's immediately after his interview
with "ex-President Cleveland to-day, out
this fact is said not to sijrnifytany intention
on his part to be the anti-Tammany
Mayoralty candidate.
Croker Burdened With, a Secret
After the adjournment of the State Com
mittee, Eichard Croker, accompanied by
Commtsioner of Accounts MichaelX Daly,
hurried over to the Hotel Victoria and im
mediately went to Mr. Cleveland's room.
He remained there for about half an hour,
and started down stairs to leave
the hotel. On his way down Mr.,
Croker encountered Don M. Dick
inson going up. He suddenly turned
around and followed Mr. Dickinson back
again to Mr. Cleveland's room. On his sec
ond appearance Mr. Croker was questioned
regarding the nature of his hurried visit
He replied that he had an important matter
to be given out, but he wished first to get
Mr. Cleveland's consent When asked if he
had received the required permission he re
nlied that he could sav nothing about it at
present He was also asked if it had refer
ence to any action taken by the State Com
mittee. This also Mr. Croker refused either
to affirm or denv. After leaving the hotel
he met Messrs. Murphy and Sheehan, and
it is reported that Senator Hill was also at
the conference.
If Mr. Whitney, who is generally recog
nized as Mr. Cleveland's representative,
sneaks his sentiments, the ex-President will
not oppose a third ticket Mr. Whitney is
of the opinio that the more Democratic
local candidates there are the fuller the
vote will be lor the national ticket
CIc eland Not Drinking Just Now.
An incident of ex-President Cleveland's
trip to New York on the steamer Pilgrim
last night is reported here to-day as fol
lows: While seated at the dining table he
uas approached by a waiter who brought
him a glass of wine from Mrs.
Goddard, a Kentucky lady who was
traveling with her four daughters.
She sent her compliments with it and ex
pressed a wish for his continued good
health and success. The ex-President arose,
bowed his acknowledgements and touched
the glass to his lips, but he did not drink.
He asked to be excused, as he had decided
to drink no intoxicants during the present
struggle. The announcement was greeted
with enthusiastic applause.
A CRUISER'S CLOSE CALL.
The Warship Philadelphia 'Narrowly Es
capes Being Blown Up.
NirwYOKK, Sept. 30. The arrival 'of the
United States ship Philadelphia at this port
has brought new information regarding the
recent accident on board the vessel -while
storming Fort Henry. The accident came
near blowing up the ship and its comple
ments. When the explosion took
place, the chute leading to the, magazine
was.open, and charces of powder were in
course of passing to the, men on deck. This
cii life lies immediately in the rear of the
gun, and so close that particles of ignited
powder- were driven down the ohuto
ami into the magazine proper.
The ponder division was in charge of
Lieutenant Fremont, who did all he could
to suppress the disorder that resulted. The
men composing the powder division, with
two exceptions, fled. Before the fire could
reach the copper cases of the projectiles,
stored on all sides, Lieutenant Fremont and
the faithful two extinguished it with buck
ets of water. The Captain said the brave
Lieutenant had saved the vessel from a
terrible disaster.

Hotchkissville, Conn., Sept 30.
Special Inspector Pendleton, of Boston,
yesterday arrested Miss Cora Isbelle, the
assistant postmistress, for opining letters
belonging to George Thompson. ,Miss
Isbelle is a very pretty young woman, 25
years old, and belongs to a good family.
She has held a position in the office for two
years. Some time has been spent in work
ing up the case. Decoy letters addressed to
Thompson were sent and forwarded from
New Haven to this office. Other clerks
were suspected, but they could not be de
tected. Finally Inspector -Pendleton
watched Miss Isbelle, saw her lay aside a
letter addressed to Mr. Thompson, and
finally caught her in the act of opening it
There was no money in any of the letters,
and Miss Isbelle only explains her actions
as a mania for prying into Mr. Thompson's

BRIDGES KNOCKED OUT.
An Act of Congress Now Necessary to Build
One Across the Monongahela.
McKeespobt, Sept 30. Special The
promotors of new bridges here on the Monon
gahela, according to a prominent attorney,
have received a black eye. He says: "The
act of Congress of 1830, which was hereto
fore supposed to place the Monongahela
under the care oT the War Department, has
recently had a surprising interpretation by
the department This was in one of four
similar cases. The department decides that
it nas no jurisdiction in the matter of
approval ce disapproval of such bridge
schemes, inasmuch as the act says that no
stream navigable in more than one State, as
is the Monongahela, can have a bridge
unless chartered by act of Congress.
The bridges now built on this stream
were under way before the act of 1890 be
came a law. But bridges now proposed,
such as the Fast End bridge at McEees
port, the Elizabeth bridge, the Carnegie hot
metal bridge at Duquesne and many others
now in contemplation will have to be pro
jected on a new basis.

THE EUH0R8 OF HANI TRADES DENIED
Ctboh x. staff coBBisroiroKirr.i
Washington, Sept 3ft The echoes of
the political cenference of yesterday be
tween Secretary McComas, of the National
Republican Committee, Secretary of War
Elkins, Messrs. Kerens, Mahone and
others, are comprised in a denial of some
of the immaterial points of the news sent
out in regard to it and in an admission of
all of the important assertions that more
attention" is to be given to Western States
which are alleged to be in doubt, and that
the utmost efforts are to be made to break
up the Democratic combination in the
South, especially in Virginia, West Vir
ginia, Tennessee and Alabama.
The gentlemen also held a consultation
with Secretary Edward McPherson, for so
long the alert and sagacious wheelhorse of
the Republican Congressional Committee,
in regard to the situation in the Congres
sional districts, and mapped out a pro
gramme in accordance with developments
upon the present time, for assaults on the
Democrats in those districts where there is
the best chance to wrest members from the
other side, aud thus reduce the extraor
dinary majority which now rules the House
to something like fair proportions, and if
possible to wipe it out altogether.
A Kew Light on an Old tToulem.
One of the gentlemen interested as an
active worker in the Republican harness
threw a new light on what has been consid
ered a strange apathy of the Beoublican
Committee in regard to the result in the
silver States. He does not believe that it
is good policy to spend any great amount of
time or money on those States. They at
best entertain a very indifferent friendli
ness toward the Republican party on the
tariff question, and on the silver question
tbey plaoe much more faith in the Demo
crats than in the Bepublicans. He asserts
that the amount of money wanted in the
silver States, if spent in the Democratic
States of the East and South that are now
largely in sympathy, with the tariff
policy of the Republican party, would
be productive of far greater good
than if it were spent among the sparsely
settled States of the Rocky Mountains,
whose representation in the electoral col
lege and in Congress is so insignificant In
the Democratic Slates where manufacturing
is rapidly increasing there is a correspond
ing increase in the feeling in favor of the
tari0, and in his opinion it is only a ques
tion of a,few years, if it'does not occur in
the immediate future, when the judgment
in support of a strong protective tariff will
make it impossible for a tree trade -party,
under the guise of "tariff reform," to carry
States that are fast following in the wake
of Pennsylvania in the development of
mining and manufacturing; such as the two
Virginias, Tennessee and Alabama, which
now have an aggregate of 40 electoral votes.
The Smartest Tiling to Do.
In the small States a political organiza
tion is almost as expensive to maintain as it
is in the most populous, and this strategist
of the party argues that the smartest thing
to do is to concentrate everv effort on the
big States which are in the doubtful column,
and not only in the way qf spasmodic move
ments, but to maintain constantly a small
standing army of agents to agitate and to
sow broadcast the literature of the .party
and the theory of the high tariff that it
benefits the masses as well as the manu
facturers, notwithstanding, apparent low
ness of wages at times with the accompani
ment of strikes, none of which phenomena
are at all traceable to any lack of virtue in
the tariff
"The Democratic party," this gentleman
says, "lives and thrives simply on the lies
that it is able to thrust on the people as
truth, and if we can only constantly present'
the truth to the masses in any of our States
where prosperity of the wage worker and of
the farmer, as well as of the manufacturer;
depends upon the prosperty of mining and
manufacturing, we will ocenpy impregnable
ground, and the perpetuity of the Re
publican party will be assured. With all
the astuteness of our politicians we have
been to a great extent working at Tandom
in our methods of campaigning, and I think
from this time on a new policy will prevail,
and that we shall pnt into operation a ma
chine so scientifically arranged that it will
always do its work smoothly and success
fully." Humors of All Kinds of Trades.
Secretary MoPherson, of the Congres
sional Committee, figured out to the gentle
men who have been in conference with him
that no less than 23 Republicans could be
elected from the Southern- States, with
proper effort, and that a large gain will be
made in the North. Mr. McPherson does
not specify lor publication the. districts iu
which he hopes to make a sufficient gain to
reverse the majority in the House.
In this connection it may be stated as
one to f the many rumors "that one hears
every day in regard to party movements,
that the Republicans are making extensive
preparations to trade Republican votes for
Democratic electors for Democratic votes
f t Republican members of Congress. This
is probably of a piece with the assertion
that Great Britain is about to revive the
"corn laws'' in retaliation against the Me
Kinley tariff act, which is said to havo
emanated from the fruitful imagination of
Chairman Harrity, along with the reports
of a widespread preparation on'thepartof
the Republicans to colonize Voters in In
diana and New Jersey.
Possibilities of the People's Movement.
One of the possible results of the Con
gressional elections which is freely pre
dicted, is that the balance of power in the
next House will be held by the representa
tives of the People's party. This will be
more- satisfactory to the Republicans than
if the majority is'held by the Democrats by
ever so slender a thread, as it will prevent
the organization of the Fifty-third Congress
by the Democratic party.
Such a condition would surely culminate
in the election of a People's party Speaker,
who would treat the Republicans" with spe
cial friendliness, as the supporters of the
People's party in the South detest the Dem
ocrats with a cordiality tenfold greater than
the feeling of opposition they entertain for
the Republicans. The "situation" in that
event would be a decidedly novel one,
without its counterpart in the previous his
tory ofthe I House. It is, possible' that
Tom" Watson and "Jerry Simpson are
already training themselves for" the nerve
destroying position in the chair that has
been made so famous in recent years by the
occupancy of Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Reed.

A PROHIBITION POINT.
Harrltj'a Answer to the Letter of Chairman
fPatton The Cold Water People Will Be
Given a Show on the Official Ballot
Their Chairman Pleased.
Lancaster, Pa., Sept. 30. Special
In answer to Prohibition Chairman Patton's
letter to Secretary Harrity, Recently given
in The Dispatch, the following reply has
been received:
Inasmuoh as the form of tlio official ballot
was nrepaied for tlie First Representative
district of Philadelphia, it Delng necessary
to take some one Representative distrlot of
the State to use as an illustration, and Inas
much s the candidates of the Prohibition
party in thS First Representative district in
Philadelphia did not poll 3 per cent ot the
largest entire vote for any office cast In that
district, it was necessary tbat Its form
should contain by way of Illustration the
names of Prohibition candidates who had
beenplaoed thereon by virtue of nomina
tion papers.'
As above indloated, the form of official
ballot submitted is not the form to be used
In any one of the Congressional, Senatorial
or Representative dlstrlots referred to in
your communication of September 23, and It
has not been practicable to prepare a form
of official ballot for each one of the districts
of the State.
When It becomes necessary to certify to
county commissioners and to sheriffs, the
action of the State Department will be suoh
that the names of all candidates who are en
titled to be placed upon the official ballot by
virtue of certificates of nomination will ap
pear thereon, with party descriptive- worus
or political application at the head of each
group. Y-ours truly, Wn. F. Habbitt.
In speaking of the matter Mr. Patton
says: "The answer assumes what I cannot
see to be warranted, "namely, tbat in foro
ing the sample ballot some district had to
be taken. I think a fictitious ticket would
have answered. Again, as Prohibition
nominations come under two classes by
nomination papers and certificates and as
the purpose of a sample is to afford infor
mation to County Commissioners as to the
manner of making up the ticket, it was an
Inexcusable blunder for the department to
send out samples that failed to aSord infor
mation either by a real or fictitious
"group," showing that Prohibition nomi
nations by certificate would have a place.
However, we have gained our point"
ME. MAGEE WITH THE PRESIDENT.
He Calls to Report on His Work of South
ern Disruption.
Washington, Sept 30. Special.' C
Iu Magee, of Pittsburg, arrived here this
evening and went at once to the White
House tor a consultation with President
Harrison. Mr. Magee has been for several
weeks past engaged in missionary works in
Alabama, Georgia and other Southern
States in the interest of the Republican
Alliance opposition to the straighout De
mocracy. It is understood that Mr. Magee
will give the President a detailed account
of what he aud the other ReDublicans have
accomplished in the South in the way of
disrupting the"Democratic' organization.
It is significant that P. T. Bowman, the
young and very clever manager of the Kolb
wing of the Alabama Democracy, also ar
rived here to-day, and has already been in
consultation with Magee. President Har
rison has been assured from every source
that the Republicans have an excellent
opportunity to carry Alabama and Tennes
see this year, and, according to the state
ment of a friend of tho administration, Mr.
Harrison has been persuaded into believing
these rainbow reports.

Ticket, Making a Speech
IN MIKE HARTER'S BISTRICT.
Why He Thinks the Republican Policy
Will Be Sustained.
GOOD WORDS FOR POLITICArj ENEMIES
Cleveland, Sent 3a Senator John
Sherman spoke at North Fairfield, Huron
county, to-day. It was his opening speech
in the campaign, and be went into the Four
teenth Congressional district, where there
is a bitter fight with Congressman Harter,
Democrat, on one side, and E. Q. Johnson,
Republican, on the other side. About 5,000
persons were at the meeting.
Senator'Sherman first reviewed the ma
terial progress ot the United States under
protective tariff since 1861, claiming tbat
all the prosperity was dne to the Republi
can policy. Then he said: "We stand by
this policy. We maintain and defend It as
constitutional and right, as beneficial to all
classes of our people, and as one of the best
results of Republican policy." He "then
read the Republican and Democratic tariff
planks, and said:
They say it is a fraud: upon labor for the
benefit of the few. The best answer to this
is to compare the position of the laboring
man now and In the old Democratic ' ante
bellum times. While there are now.as there
ever will bo as long as human society exists,
great differences in the condition of indi
viduals in any country or clime, yet the
conditions of the laboring man in our conn
try are confessedly better in every respect
than iu any other country In the world In
ancient or'modern times. In the ways of
his labor, in the enjoyment of civil and po
litical rights, in tbe education of his chil
dren, in his social standing and position and
in tho possibilities of the future, there is no
laborer of any race or of any time that com

The poor of to-day are the rich of to-morrow.
Tbe fluctuations of human life make
this unavoidable, but wherever the law or
pnblic opinion oan In any way promote or
advance the Interests and condition of the
laboring man that will surely be done in a
Government like ours, founded upon the
free choice and vote of the people. To say i
that this policy of protection, theprincipal
design of which is to promote the interests
of the laboring man, is a fraud upon him is a
falsehood which every reasoning being can
detect
.But it is said it i3 for tho benefit of a few.
This also is equally erroneous, for there is
not a protected Industry where any discrim
ination is made in favor of tbe employer as
against the laborer. There may be a differ
ence of opinion between them as to the just
rate of wages, but bere the laboier is as free
to choose his mode of employment as the
employer. The disputes between them no
doubt often lead to evil results and it is tbe
hope and aim of good men of all parties to
Solntout some way of adjusting tbe fair
ivlslon in the results of production be
tween labor and capital and to secure to the
laborer fair wages and prompt pay for
honest services; but as yet no scheme has
been adopted except to leave tbe matter
entirely to the free will of both the laborer
and manufacturer and to protect each in
the enjoyment of his undoubted rights.
Constitutionality of Protection.
Senator Sherman then discussed the
Democratic declaration tbat protection is
unconstitutional, and said he conld quote
the opinions ot Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson in favor ot protection by tariff
laws. ' John C Calhoun, he said, first pro
mulgated the dootrine that protection was
unconstitutional in the days of nullification
in 1833, and General Jackson said if Cal
houn tried to carry out his ideas he would
"hang him as high as Haman."
The Senator said that while the Demo
cratic and Republican parties occupied the
same position on their national platforms
on the silver question, it must not be for
gotten that a majority of Democrats in
both the Senate and House of tbe present
Congress frequently voted last winter for
the tree coinage of silver. He said the re
sult of free coinage would be disastrous to
all industries, and would be especially se
vere upon the laborer and the poor.
The Senator took up the Democratio'dec
laration in favor of the repeal of the tax on
State bank circulation, and reiterated his
well-known financial views. He said next:
Sherman Won't Vote for Harter.
And now, fellow citizens, something as to
your local politics, and I am done. Tou are
to elect a member of Congress to carry out
your views in national policy. It is not
merely a choice between two men, but is a
choice of principle. Ton, as BepuDlicans,
are taught to believe in a protective tariff,
in sound national money, and in coin of
eaual intrinsic value. Now. on these Ques
tions you know the Republican candidate is
sound. He agree with his party and with
you. You nfust know that the Democratic
candidate Is not in sympathy with you on
these great and controlling questions. His
views on the subjects ot free trade and a
protective tariff are exactly the opoosite of
yours. I know him personally. He is my
neighbor and ray friend, but I have no hesi
tation in saying to you that I cannot vote for
him.
Nor do I concur in the views of Mr. Ilarter
as to State banks as I understand him. He
intioduced one or more bills in tho House
ot Representatives to enable tbe State to
charter banks to issue notes. I believe that
circulating notes issued by State banks are
forbidden by the Constitution of tbe United
States. And, asiSe from this, I believe they
are vicious in principle, dangerous in prac
tice. I do not object to them as banks of
depositor exohamre, but as banks or issue
they are in plain opposition to tne hitherto
avowed principles of the Republican and
Democratic parties. As to the silver ques
tion, I wish heartily to commend the ac
tion of Mr. Harter. Upon this both parties
were divided and he took the right side and
maintained it with vigor and ability. I be
lieve that Mr. Johnson will faithfully repre
sent your opinion and conviottons as a
Republican on all these questions, and
therefore is entitled to your vote.
Harrison the Man for President
As to your vote for President I do not be
lieve any Republican has any doubt. It does
not follow that because a man is President,
or nominated as such, he ought to be lauded
to the skies. We have in this republic no
gods or deinl-gods. I know General Harrison
as ell as one man ever knew another after
an intimate acquaintance for 10 years. He
Is a man of fine character, so far as I under
stand without blemish or reproach. His
ability Is marked and Is now recognized by
all parties I may say in all parts of the
world, tie has tne lawyer's habit of taking
the opposite side of a Question, but before
lie acts he is apt to be on the right aide.
When in the benate he did not show tbe
versatility of talent he bus exhibited as
President. All hl.i utterances have been
marked with dignity suited to his high posi
tion, yet with delicate appropriateness and
precision tbat will admit no criticism.
I havo no controversy with Mr. Cleveland.
I think ho is better than his party. On Im
portant and critical questions he has been
firmly right, But In the choice between
them for the High office to which they aspire
no Republican should hesitate to vote for
Harrison, and an honest Democrat should,
in viow of the tendencies of the Democratic
party on the questions I have discussed,
decide to go and do likewise.

COMING TO AMERICA.
The toce Making Trade Bnlned In Eng

This Country Will Be Benefited by the
Depression Over the Water,
Scranton, Sept, 3a Superintendent
Mosley, of the Scranton Lace Curtain Man
ufacturing Company, has just returned'from.
England, where he went to secure skilled
labor for his works. He says he had o
trouble in securing all the help he desired,
and almost every lace maker in Nottingham
is anxious to come here.
"The McKinley bill has worked sad
havoo to English industries," sad Mr.
Mosley. "Everywhere I went I fonnd ma
chinery lying idle, men ont of work, and
industries fairly paralyzed. There is hardly
a branch of industry that has not suffered,
and in many cases ruination has been the
lot of tbe manufacturer. The town of
Saltire, which is virtually owned by Sir
Titus Salt, whose cloth and plush mannfac
turles located there are known the world
over, is now literally dead."
"How is the situation in Nottingham?"
was asked.
"It is as bad there as anywhere, es
pecially in the lace making industries.
The factories had big orders in anticipation
of the McKinley bill, and now having the
markets stocked they have nothing to da
When the time arrives for jobbers to again
make purchases the industry will have so
matured in this country that the, American
factories will be able to supply the demand
here, and as the English factories cannot
now compete with those of this country,
their largest market will be closed to
them."
"Do you think the McKinley bill has
worked a corresponding amount of good in
this countrv?"
"From observations which I have made I
can assuredly say it has, and in my own line
of business I can emphatically testify that
nothing but such a protective tariff' as is
provided by the McKinley bill would make
lace manufacturing possible in this coun
try." Some Important Positions Filled.
Washington, Sept 30. The following
