Some of -Mr. Cleveland's visitors at the ictoria said that the ex-President and Mr. irrity and Mr. Dickinson were somewhat taxed over the publication that Wayne acYeagh, of Philadelphia, Garfield's At- orney-General, and ex-Judge T. M. Cooley, of Michigan, formerly President of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, were to join Judge Gresham in supporting Mr. Cleveland. Some Secrets Tliat Can't Be Kept Ex-Secretary "Whitney was philosophical over the difficulty of keeping a political secret known to half a dozen persons. Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Harrity and Mr. Dickinson believed that the announcements should have been made a sort of a sequence. First, it was to be made known that Judge Gres- bam was to support Mr. Cleveland, and afterward, at proper intervals, the word was to go out concerning Mr. MacYeagh and ex-Judge Cooley. Gentlemen in charge of Mr. Cleveland's campaign say that Jndge Gresham is not expected to come out openly in a letter or other communication and announce his in tention to support the Democratic candi date. He was merely expected to tell his friends. Neither is ex-Judge Cooley ex pected to proclaim his determination from the housetops. BlacYeagh to Speak for Grover. Mr. MacYeagh, though, from the non debatable State of Pennsylvania, will come out openly and declare for Cleveland. The ex-President and Mr. MacYeagh have been personal friends for several years. On Mr. Cleveland's retirement from the White Mouse, March 4, 18S9, he established a residence in New York City and entered the law firm or Bangs, Stetson, Tracy & Mac Veagh, in the offices at Pine and William itreets. Ex-Attorney General MacYeagh ivas a special partner. Mr. MacYeagh came from Philadelphia -.his morning, talked with members of the National Democratic Committee and re :nrned to Philadelphia in the evening. A nember of the National Campaign Com nittee said that Mr. MacYeagh is booked "or one speech in support of Mr. Cleveland. He did not know whether the speech would e made in New York or in Pennsylvania, )ut the indications are that it will be in Sew York. How Gresham Was Won Over. Judge Gresham is on intimate terms vith Mr. Whitney, Franklin MacVeagh, aid to be a nephew of the ex-Attorney Jeneral and Judge Lambert Tree, Mr. Cleveland's Minister to Belgium. Secretary Sbeerin, of the Democratic Na ional Committee, said to-day while talking .bout the effect Judge Gresham's act would tave in Indiana: "'In my letters to-day I ound two from Indiana. Each irings very important informat ion aboat another man of large nfluence'who has previously acted with the tepublican party, but who is now out very trong tor the Democratic ticket He is on. Daniel P. Baldwin, who was elected Vttorney General of Indiana in 1880, the ear in which the Legislature that elected Senjamin Harrison to the United States lenate was elected. Last Saturday night, t a meeting in a crowded theater in Log nsport, Mr. Baldwin came out straight rom the shoulder for Cleveland and Stev nson. Republicans Make tight of the Flopping. Chairman Carter and his brethren of the ational Bepublican camp made light of he news concerning Jndge Gresham, Mr. lacYeagh and ex-Judge Cooley. It was heir opinion that Judge Gresham had .een running after strange gods for a nnm cr of years, that Wayne MacVeagh had .een politically dead for ten years and that x-Judge Coolej had been a mugwump for some time. Judge resham, they, said, had a email personal following in Indiana, bat wai unable to secure a delegate to the Minneapolis convention. The Judge has not been on cordial terms with President Harrison for ten.years, and the final break came when General Harrison was nomi nated at Chicago in 1881 Ex-Judge Cooley, it was added, was ap pointed President of the Inter-State Com merce Commission by Mr. Cleveland, and the relations between the two gentlemen bid ripened into personal regard. Carter Joined by His Colleagues. Mr. Carter has been Joined by National Committeemen W. J. Campbell, of Illinois, and William Bradley, of Kentucky. Many ot the committeemen are on the field, and nearly all will be here soon. All will re main until after the fight Mr. Carter and his associates conferred with Mr. Piatt to-day on the battle in New York State. The State is simply to be flooded with Bepublican speakers all the month. Ex-Senator Henry W. Blair, candidate for Congress in the First district of New Hampshire, came to town to-day to talk with Mr. Carter. Blair i3 an enemy of Harrison. Blair's candidacy for Congress is obnoxious, and Chairman Carter will try to induce him to withdraw. A NEW TAMMANY HATER. 2f cw York Democrats to Have Another Fac tional Fight on Their Hands. New Yoek, Oct a SpiciaL What promises to be one of the political develop ments of the week is the organization of an entirely new local Democratic faotion, which shall be distinctively an anti-Tammany machine, and which shall declare it self such in its name. The gentlemen who have the project nnder advisement say that there is a Democratic opposition to Tammany Hall in the city of at least 40,000 votes, and that there should be a local organization into which these anti-Tammany Democrats can be received and a local ticket which they can support They agree that the County Democracy as an organization is in bad odor, and will not attract all the anti Tammany element of the party to any ticket which it may nominate. The Yoor- his, or Ivewlork Democracy, they accuse of being a tender to the Wig'wam machine, and they have come to the conclusion that the crying necessity for a new party which can and will unite all opposition to Tam many Hall must be met The men who have this project nnder consideration are some of the New York Democracy leaders and ex-leaders who have been disappointed in their efforts to make that faction a consistent anti-Tammany ma chine. Nominations will have to be made by this new party by petition this year, but its projectors believe it will secure enough votes to entitle it to nominate In conven tion next year and eventually grow so strong that it can drop the words "anti Tammany" from its title.

Boise Crrr.jDAHO, Oct a Special To-day in the office of Secretary of State 'Pinkham-s certificate was filled by Chair man Tillinghast, of the Democratic State Central Committee, showing that the Demo crats had withdrann their three nominees for PiesiJeglnl electors and had substituted the names of the electoral nominees' of the People's party. Knowing full well that neither Cleveland nor Weaver conld swerve Idaho from the grand old Bepublican col umn, this ttision deal was hit upon. Some claim it was done in obedience to orders issued by the Democratic National Com mittee. The idea of the Idaho Democrats is that if Weaver should win in Idaho the Presidental election might be thrown into Congress, insuring a Democratic victory. But thev reckon without their host Half a hundred ex-Republicans living in -Boise have announced their determination not to vote for the nominees of the party. They had gone over to the People's party, whose leaders say that they had neither sought nor desired Democratic indorsement Frank Harris, Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor, withdrew from the ticket as soon as he learned that the Demo crats were afraid to stand alorre. George V. Bryan, one of the withdrawn electoral nominees, was then nominated for Lieuten ant Governor. PECK MUST STAND TRIAL. Jndge Clnte Defuses to Quash the Indict ment Against Him. Albany, N.

New Yonk, Oct a Special General Daniel E. Sickles will not go on the stump for Harrison in the present cam paign. He n-jde that declaration to-night, and shattered tie hopes many Republicans had entertained. This hope had been based on published reports of General Sickles' speech to his boys of the Third Army Corps at their reunion in Washing ton. "There was nothing of a political character in that speech," said the General to-night "My only reference to General Harrison was not as the candidate of the Republican party, but as a soldier, a com rade, and as President of the United States." Referring to the rumors that he might take the stump for Harrison, General Sickles said: "For the first time in my life I find myself a sort of Mugwump. I look down with serene indifference upon political parties and partisan contention. No, I shall not go on the stump for either Candida te." STEVENSON BARKS OR OHIO.

Most of the persons in at tendance In addition to the delegates were attracted to the place in the hope of seeing and hearing ex-President Cleveland, who did not attend, however. The platform adopted was a document of some length. A firm belief was expressed in tarff revision as absolutely necessary to the continued prosperity of the country. The cost of the necessities of life should be reduced. The principles embodied in the force bill were believed to be fraught with the greatest danger to the na tion.

Sec retary Charles Foster will devote consider able space in his forthcoming speech in New York to the subject of State banks. He will gather a considerable portion of his data from the report of Assistant Register of the Treasury Smith, who is preparing a statement on the national banking question nnder an order from Congress. Mr. Smith bad an engagement with the Republican Committee to prepare a campaign document on the subject, but after Secretary Foster received an invitation to speak in New York on the 17th inst he concluded that he might find some interesting material in Mr. Smith's report, hence the latter was re quested to withhold the publication of any extracts from said report until after the Secretary has had an opportunity to pre pare and deliver his New York speech. By appropriating Mr. Smith's material, the latter may be deprived ot the privilege of supplying'ths committee with the state ment, with which he expected to create a political sensation.

Briden thal, Chairman of the People's Party Central Committee, arrived in town last night The Populist executive is inclined to laugh at his arrest for violating the State banking law, and has an air of easy confi dence when speaking of the campaign that may come from ignorance of what Re publicans are doing or from a better knowl edge of the fusion strength than any one else possess. The Populist Central Committee will at once begin to close lines and shape its vote regardless of what the Democracy may do.

CLERKS ATTEMPT ARMED RESISTANCE Erie, Pa., Oct a iTemendous excite ment was caused in Erie to-day by the dar ing attempt to rob the Keystone National Bank. Frank Kepler, the faithful assis tant cas'hier of the bank, had been laid low, and four yonng men branishing revolvers emerged from the bank followed by at least a hundred excited pursuers. The uproar was almost indescribable. "They have killed Prank Kepler;" "Kill them hnng them" shouted the angrjr crowd as they came nearer and nearer to the fleeing men, but drew back directly as the muzzles of four revolvers were threaten ingly uointed at them. It was about 12:30 p. M. and no customers were in the lobby of the bank. Assistant Cashier Prank Kepler and Clerk Charles Liebel were busy btlancing their books and counting money and checks, when suddenly a quartet of tongh-lookinc strangers burst intb the room, revolvers in hand. E&ch of the strangers took positions at one of the windows aronnd the desks within, and pointing their revolvers at the two clerks, said: "Throw up your hands." Instead of holding up his hands as di rected the cashier snatched up 'a paper weight and was about to deal the, fellow nearest him a blow on the head when two shots were fired by the intruders. One of the bullets struck Mr. Kepler in. the left cheek. The unfortunate young man fell to the floor. After the robbers fired the shots they ran west on Eighth street, hotly pur sued by a number of angry citizens. Among them was John Zeidler, a machinist work ing in Jarecki's factory. He was twice fired at by one ot the robbers but escaped unhurt Special Officer William Doehrel, anew man on the force, ran out and joined the crowd of pursuers. Hailing the driver of a passing wagon Officer Doehrel jumped in, and had the driver pursue the robbers at top speed, and finally got ahead of the fugi tives. The officer jumped out, and with drawn revolver commauded the men to throw up their hands. The aniwer was a shot from a huge army revolver by one of the desperadoes. Ab Officer Doehrel was in the act of return ing thefire the four men thought better of it and surrendered. Thev were handcuffed together and marched to the police station, where they were locked up .in separate cells. On being searched nine revolvers of different calibers were fonnd ofi them, also a collection of knives and brass knuckles. Yery little money was found on them, how ever.

Bishop Johnston Says It Is Not the Church for Americans. BE SCORES NEWARK'S CONGRESS And Objects to the Sentiments of the Eccle siastics There. STRONG WORDS OYER A CORNER STONE NewYobk, Oct a The Tana to-mor-tow will print the following: A stirring cry of warning against Catholicism was uttered by Bishop J. L Johnston, of Texas, to-day in Calvary Church. It was heard by more than a dozen of Dr. Johnston's fellow Bishons of the Episcopalian Church, coming from all parts of the country, by more than 100 Episcopalian clergymen, and by more than 1,000 of the laity of that church. The occasion was the laying of the corner stone of the new Episcopalian mis sion house. Bishop Potter presided. Bishop Tuthill was the first to speak. Then came Bishop Hare, of South Dakota. Following him Bishop Johnston was introduced. . Bishop Johnston started off by declaring that this should be an era of rejoicing for the Protestant Episcopal church. After speaking briefly of the great growth of the Protestant Episcopal church, Bishop Johnston went on to argue that his church, more than any other; was the church which could with truth proclaim itself to be a National church, in the sense that it recog nized no section, race or condition. He continued: Not an American Church. I know that this statement will be contra dicted by the Church of Borne, bnt I deny that it is any sense either an American church or a cbnrch for Americans. It is dis tinctively a foreign church, ruled by a for eign autocrat, believed to be Infallible by his followers, who can dictate the policy of his church to his partisans and they dare not, nnder penalty of purgatory, the keys of which they believe he keeps, disobey his mandates. He pulls the strings at Borne and his puppets jump in America. When Borne speaks that settles all questions so tar as the faithful to Borne in America are concerned A great convention was held last week in Newark. Thousands assembled nnder the leadership of prominent Roman Catholic ecclesiasts. For what! It was to carry out the beliefs of some society of St. Bapbaels which recently held a convention in Ger many. The pui poses of this society, we are informed, are first, to keep the emigrants true, to Old World traditions and to warn them against American traditions; second, to centralize solidify and isolate the foreign Soman Catholics coming here and so secure them' against American ideas. This policy is ac cording to teveial well Informed authorities, responsible for the fact that in the West and Northwest we .find large foreign colonies made up of Koman Catholics wbo refuse to become Americanized, persisting in retain ing their languages and local customs. A Warning to the Foreigners. He said that if conventions of this charac ter are to continue, some day some one will say something tbat will produce consterna tion. He cited the Wyoming riot, where an American oitizen had the temerity to de liver an address upon the influence of the Catholic Church in the Government schools. The statistics made it look as it 'there was some reason for objection. Out of $3,767, 951 appropriated for sectarian schools, Borne got ?2, 336,41(3. Jesuitism, he said, had never failed to meddle in politics. After referring further to the danger of allowing the Jesuits to get a foothold, he concluded: Fray that our simple American Catholic Church may become a rallying point not only for Protestant Christlans,dlstracted by a hundred blaring trumpets of discordant doctrines, but also to all loyal Americans, who, lor the love of country, may do, even as men of their own blood, JMshops and Archbishop, as genuine and ns -worthy as any whoever wore a mitre, 300 years ago in England did. throw off the galling yoke of a foreign, meddling Bishop, bidding him mind his own business on the Tiber. A TEST AGAINST TIME. New York's Apportionment Must Be Settled Before October 10. Albant, N.

"When I was on the scene of riot several months aijo," said General Snowden, "I suggested personally to the attorneys, Knox & Reed, who appeared in the prose cution on hand, that the Advisory Commit tee was guilty of treason and should be tried on that charge. To use a colloquial expres sion, they turned me down. But evidently they thought better of my wisdom, for three weeks ago Mr. Knox met me in this city and suggested that I assist in the preparation of briefs. I said that, as General of the State forces, it would hardly be proper for me to appear as counsel for the Carnegie Steel Company, so Mr. Knox left me. Briefs Submitted to the General. "When the brief was prepared, however, it was sent on to me to be passed upon and for ten days or so I bad it in my office here. You know a charge of treason is something of a rara avis in this Commonwealth and the preparation of the brief is a matter of the utmost importance. I was hardly surprised, you may imagine, when the papers told of the arrest Yon know that treason Is an attempt to overthrow the Commonwealth itself. It is, therefore, the most serious offense tbat the courts survey, and in my judgment should be vikited with the most serious penalty, death. The statutes, how ever, I believe, limit the punishment to 52,000 fine and 12 years' imprisonment" Seven more of the Homestead men charged before Chief Justice Paxson with treason appeared before Judges Kennedy and McClung yesterday and furnished the required bail. Four of these were among those arrested Friday night; the balance made their first appearance yesterday. Of those arrested Friday who gave the re quired $10,000 bail and their bondsmen there were: W. H. Caches, sureties, Wm. Ramsey, David Anderson and A. B. Troth; George Ryland, sureties, Peter Fay, P.. C. Wagner and J. F. Schmitt; John Dirnken, sureties. Jacob Dirnken, S. B. Harsh and John Osborne; Thomas J. Crawford, sure ties, Edward O'Donnell and Catharine Nan. Arrested in the Court Boom.' Those who put in a new appearance yes terday were David Lynch, who was. ar rested by Constable Pat Farrell in the court room, and T. W. Brown and Thomas H. Bayne, who surrendered themselves. Lynch'g bondsmen were Patrick O'Niel, Charles Bossert and Vincent Woselefski. Brown's bondsmen were William Wlehe, President of the Amalgamated Association, G. Davis, Thomas J. Crawford and Patrick Sweeney, and Bayne's sureties were J. S. Hollingshead, Jacob Gilleland and Robert McWhinney. At the adjournment of court all who had been arrested on the charge of treason, except those already in jail on the charge of murder, Jhad been released on bail. . Evan Jones was arrested last night by Constable Mills, of Alderman McMaster office, on a charge ot riot in connection with the Homestead trouble. Evans' home is at Homestead, but it is said he has been in hiding at Braddockfor some time, and the constable was informed of his where abouts. He was brought down to jail last night. The return of the Imprisoned men was cause for much rejoicing in Homestead last evening. The aceuled were given an ovation in a sense; that is, everywhere they went crowds gathered to cheer them and to show that nothing for months has so aroused the people here as the treason suits. A Meeting or the Advisory Board. A few members of the old Advis ory Board and other, leaders met in secret session last night and it is probable that as a result the Amalgamated Associa tion will scatter broadcast circulars detail ing the treason suits and urging working men to rally to the support of the locked out men with financial aid. The men feel that they have strong ground for an appeal to the country "and they propose to make the most of It Yesterday was pay day in camp, and as a result there is a general jollification there.
