POLITICS LITELIEK IN ALL SECTIONS tSFKCIAI, TELEOEJUt TO THE DISPATCH. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. & Tc-day has been a 'Waterloo for the People's party in Georgia. Tie returns as they come in are simply astonishing when the previous state of affairs are considered. Governor North en and the whole Democratic ticket is elected by a majority of not less than 70, O00, and the reports to come may even run it up to 100,000. In Fulton county, for instance, the small .and admittedly Alliance precincts return such figures as 58 for Northern to 12 for Peek, 51 to 13, 55 to 5 and so on. Colonel Peek's own home gives a majority of 2 to 1 for Northern. Marion county, the home of the People's party candidate for Secretary of State, gives 1,000 majority for the Demo cratic ticket Figures of this tenor come in from every section, all going to prove that the People's party has slumped out of existence, so tar as Georgia is concerned. The only sec tion in which the party exhibited strength was Tom Watson's Congressional district, where the fight was close and bitter, with the general results in favor of the Democrats. Returns from 75 counties out of s total of 137 give the Democratic ticket a majority of more than 30,000. There seems to be no possible doubt that the majority will reach at least 0,000 when the vote of all the counties Is in. The third partyites will probably carry six or eight counties for the Legisla ture, and it is estimated that their strength will be about 20 members of the House out of 175. The Third party leaders concede not less than 30,000 majority for the Democratic ticket at this hour, and are raising their concessions at the rate of about 5,000 an hour. Chairman Atkinson, of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee, estimates the majority at about 60,000. Vice Chairman Charles B. Northen, who has been one of the most active managers of the campaign in behalf of the Democrats, says the majority will be between 50,000 and 60,000. Richmond county will go Democratic by over 4,000 majority. Governor Northen s majority in the Tenth district will be prob ably 4,000. This is Congressman Watson's district, and is recognized as the stronghold of the Third party In Georgia. Northen's majority over Peek indicates that the dis trict will go Democratic in November. RED) IN MASSACHUSETTS, Where lie and McKinley Speak to an En thusiastic Audience. Springfield, Mass., Oct 6. White law Beid and Governor McKinley arrived here from Boston this morning, and were met by a citizens' committee, who escorted them to the Massasoit House, where a re ception was held and dinner was taken. The Bepnblican uniformed organizations escorted them to City Hall, which was crowded beyond its capacity, and the utmost enthusiasm was shown. fix-Governor Bobinson Introduced Mr. Beid, who spoke 1 briefly, and then Governor McKinley de voted his time entirely to the discussion of currency and free trade. The Democratic party has been financially unsound from the beginning ot its history, said he. and that unsoundness broke outJat'Chlcago in the plank advocating a return to the State bank system. He gave a graphic description of the condition of things under the old sys tem, when every merchant had to study every note with the help of a "bank de tector," to see whether it was bogus, below par, or drawn on a defunct bank. The Bepublican party pays the working men with an honest dollar, continued the Governor, and has also brought down the prices of the necessaries of life. The Dem ocratic party takes its stand on free trade, or tariff for revenue only, which is the same thing. The Bepnblican party lays its taxes only on products in which there can be home competition. For a time the im porter pays the tariff, but as soon as the home factories can be built the price is de termined by home competition. It gives revenue just as surely and also protects the workingman. The farmer is also protected by the law of 1890, and is farther benefitted by the development of manufactures, whioh gives him a home market tor his crops. His speech was warmly received and he was in terrupted by frequent applause. TEMTSOFS END HIGH. Death Approaches Gently but Is Only a Question of Hours. HIS PHTSICIAN8 ABANDON HOPE. A I onion Correspondent's Recollection of the Laureate. THE LIFE W0EK OP THE GREAT POET POOR L0 JS POLITICS. South DakotaTtcpublicans Getting an Early Letter on Indian Voters. WON'T ADVANCE THE SUIT. Indiana Politicians'Surprlsedatthe Action of the Supreme Court. Indianapolis, Oct. 6. The State Su preme Court has refused to advance on its docket for an early hearing the suit re cently appealed from the Circuit Court of Henry county to test the constitntionality of apportionments of 1885 and 1891. The suit was brought at the instance of the Be publican State Central Committee. It was given a hearing in the Henry county Cir cuit Court, Judge Bundy declaring both acts unconstitutional, folding that the election for Bepresentatives and Senators this year must be held under the act of 18)9. To-dav the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the suit filed a motion with the Supreme Court asking it to modify its order in rela tion to its refusal to advance the cause for hearing. They claim that if the matter is not disposed of at once the people of the State will not know under what apportion ment act to make their nominations for the offices mentioned. Following the filing of the motion to modify their order Attorney Smith filed a motion to dismiss the case. The Court ordered that, inasmuch as the case was one of great importance to the people of the entire State, the Attorney General should appear in tneir behalf. As the Attorney General is Green Smith, the Democrat who forcibly kept Colonel B. S. Bobertson out of the office of Lieutenant Governor in 1887, a new 'feature is brought into the contest. The action in postponing the hearing of the motion to advance is taken by politicians to mean that the case will not be decided before election. London, Oct. 6. A dispatch from Hasle mere, the house of Lord Tennyson, timed midnight, says: "The house at Aldworth was locked up soon after 11 p. M. No call ers are admitted. Except for the light streaming from the sickroom windows, the house is in darkness. All seems hushed to silence. It is understood that Sir Andrew Clarke and Dr. Dobbs are in constant attendance, and that Lord Tennyson's con dition is unchanged." In an interview at Haslemere at 4 p. M., Dr. Dabbs said he had just left Andrew Clarke at the bedside of Lord Tennyson, who was then quite oonsoious and who dia LORD TEKNTSON. FL0PPERS FROM THE PEOPLE. SlSSETON Agenct, a D., Oct C.

It is for the Indian an event that marks his advent into a new life the life of American politics. It is wonderful how apt they are proving themselves. Some are especially noticeable from the hustling they are doing, and a close examination shows that schemes are on foot that would do credit to the most experienced of poli ticians. The Indians have met to take counsel as to their future course in politics. When the council was called, Bev. B. B. Craw ford, who is, perhaps, the most influential man among the Indians, stepped forward and spoke at some length of their birth as citizens. Mr. Crawford was followed by others of the leading Indians. Senator Pettigrew spoke to them at some length. It there is any one white man in whom the Indians have unbounded confidence it is Senator Pettigrew. Other speakers fol lowed. There are nearly 400 voters on this reservation, and this council, which was really called by the Bepublican County Committee, is their initiation into politics. F0RAKER IN ILLINOIS. Ohio's Ex-Governor Slakes a Battling Speech in the Sucker State. Steeling, III., Oct. 5. Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, was the distinguished guest of Sterling to-day. The city was desorated with bunting and flags, and everywhere the public 'buildings and private residences on the line of march were illuminated. Ex-Governor Foraker said he came to Illinois as a private citizen, not as a candi date for office. "I am an American citizen," he said. "I believe in American products, American money, American tin, American patriotism, American morality, American heroism. You can't have that by electing an old-time copperhead, or a man who hired a substitute or one who insulted patriotism by fishing on Memorial Day, especially when you have to elect them over such a man with .such a record of patriotism as Harrison." The speaker dwelt at length on the force bill and the tariff, and closed his two hours' address by urging Democrats to leave the party of "cant" and come over to the Lord's side for once. A big torchlight procession was held at the conclusion of Governor Foraker's address. GOOD TUXES AND THEIB CAUSE Dwelt Upon by Senator Allison In a Speech in Minnesota. Mitchell, Minn., Oct 5. Senator Al lison, of Iowa, to-day delivered the only speech he will make in. this State during the present campaign, in this city, to one of the largest political gatherings in this section. For an hour and a half he discussed the currency and tariff He maintained that the financial system of this country at this time was stronger than at any other time in its history. He stated that there is to-day more money In circula tion in this country for every man, woman and child than ever before in the history of the Government High interest rates in sections of the v country and their canses, taxation and other related questions were discussed. The present prosperity ot the conntry as a whole was spoken of as a result of the wise and beneficent policy of the Bepublican party. Senator Allison left this evening for Iowa. Says Republicans Will Have. Washington, Oct 5. J. S. Clarkson, of the Bepublican National Committee, is in the city to-day. Mr. Clarkson said he came here largely on private business, "for we have to give a little time to our private affairs, you know, even if these are polit ical times," he added. Mr. Clarkson's re plies to inqniries about the political out look were such as one would expect from so sturdy a Bepublican. "Are there any per sons whose names are to come out as having changed from the Democratic to the Be publican side' in the line of offset to the de fection of Gresham, Cooley and Mae Veagh?" was asked. "Oh, noj our changes are all among the common people," was the response, followed by the remark that the changes of the gentlemen did not amount to so very much, afrer all, in view of at tending circumstances." Mr. Clarkson had an interview with Sec retary Foster, of the Treasury Department From the fact that Garrett A. Hobart, Be publican National Committeeman from New Jersey, is in town, it is probable that matters relating to politics in and around New Xork City were discussed with Secre tary Foster. FLORIDA SWEPT CLEAN. . The Democrats Capture the Entire Legisla . ture In Their Victory. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct 5. Com pleted county returns come in very slowly, and there is nothing in them to warrant a change in last evening's figures. Mitchell has beaten Baskin by a majority that will hardly fall short of 23,500, and may reach 25,000. Out of the precincts heard from not a dozen gave Baskin a majority, and in none of those that did was it more than 50 votes. On the other hand, whole counties went as a unit for Mitchell and the State Demo cratic ticket Baskin's vote cannot possibly go above 8,000, and the latest figures place it below 7,000. Hawley, the Prohibition candidate, has probably polled less than 600 votes in the entire State. So far the returns show an aggregate vote for Mitchell of nearly 33,000. Beports from 42 ,out of 45 counties show that their Senators and Bepresenta tives will all be Democrats. In the re mainin g three counties (Liberty, Holmes and Walton) the vote is close, but the in dications are that these will also send Dem ocrats to the Legislature. not seem to suffer in the least Throughout the afternoon the patient intellectually was quite clear, he said, and occasionally he conversed with his son, Hallam, and others who were near him. Several times he in quired as to the time of day, and he made frequent illusions to his illness. Being asked whether there was not a slight chance for the poet's recovery. Dr. Dabbs replied decisively: "There is abso lutely no hope. Lord Tennyson has always enfoved a vigorous constitution, which ena blesliim to make a prolonged struggle with death. He has slept a good deal during these final hours, but only for short periods. He is nourished with beef tea, brandy and milk." On being questioned as to whether Lord Tennyson appeared to know that his end was near, Dr. Dabbs replied, "I cannot say for certain, but I think he does." The laureate is passing away slowly and quietly, and may linger tor hours. His ill ness dates from September 27, when he be came chilled while driving. A severe cold resulted, which developed into influ enza. THE DYING LAUREATE. BUIIs Again Able to Slake Speeches. Coesicana, Tex., Oct 5. Senator Soger Q.

This evening the skating rink was crowded to hear General Stevenson speak. He confined his remarks almost exclusively to the tariff, denouncing the McKinley bill, which cut oft the reve nues by its high tax on imports so that the surplus left by Cleveland is now a deficit and the National Treasury is threatened with bankruptcy. The Democratic party, the speaker said, is not for free trade, but lor a tariff for revenue. The legitimate expenses of the Government must be met, and import taxes are necessary. He condemned the granting of bounties to the sugar growers as robbery, and demonstrated that on all imports the. tariff was paid by the consumers. Bayard on the Floppers. Wilmington, Del., Oct 5. In an in terview to-day ex-Secretary Bayard said: "The declarations of men like Judge Walter Gresham and Wayne MaoVeagu furnish a clear diagnosis of the political situation. They illustrate the operation of a perception of the truth upon the minds of two men of wholly independent modes of thought, living far apart;' and who, inde pendently acting, arrive at the same con clusion and are impelled by similar con scientiousness to give it utterance, aaak ia his own way." A Sketch of Alfred Tennyson The Quiet of His Declining Years. Alfred Tennyson was born on August G, 1809, at Somerby, a village in Lincolnshire, about half way between SDilsby and Horn castle. 5i He was one of the 12 children (of .whom seven were sons) of the Bev. G. Clayton Tennyson, LL Director of Sumerby and vicar of Grimsby. Alfred was taught the .rudimentary subjects, Dtirtly at home and partly at "Eadney's Village School," Alfred Tennyson's first verses were written upon the model of Thomson's "Seasons." In 1828 he went to Trinity College, Cam bridge, and in 1829 gained a gold medal for a poem on Timbuctoo. He published his first volume oi poetry about this time, and in 1832 his second volume was published by Mr. Edward Moxon. The story that "Lock sley Hall" was based upon personal-experience is said to have not the slightest founda tion. " In 1850 he was married to Miss Emily Sellwood. and in the same year succeeded Wordsworth as poet laureate, and produced on the day of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington (November, 1852,) his immortal "Ode." The Crimean war exerted a de pressing effect on the sensitive genius, as evidenced by his poem "Maud." After a silence of several years the first series of Tdvls of the IHnp. embracing fnnr Ktnripn in blank verse, drawn from the Arthurian legends, restored the poet's waning popu larity, and was generally accepted as his greatest poetical effort, "a verdict confirmed ten rears later when the cycle was com pleted by the publication of the "Holy Grail and Other Poems" (1869). In the in terval between the publication of the sec ond parts ot his Idyls Tennyson had issued "Enoch Arden" (1864). 'He has sinee then published the "Window, or the 8ongs of the Wrens" (1870) and several dramas, lyrics, ballads, etc A Picturesque Old Gentleman. A London correspondent writes in a re cent letter: Speaking of Tennyson's prede cessors and possible successor, I had the rare pleasure of seeine the old coet in Lon don recently rare, for the reason that as he grows older ho seems to dislike the city more and more, and he never visits it ex cept when Borne important business takes him there. It was at the Athenreum Club, a group of men were chatting, when their attention was drawn to two men who were slowly passing on the opposite side of Pall Mali. One of these was a sturdy enough man approaching middle age, but looking young indeed beside the man who walked arm in arm with him, for the latter was a .veritable, patriarch in appearance. He was .more over a man whoiwould attract attention in any assemblage. His tall frame was bent with years and covered with a wondrously ill-fitting suit of some gray material. He wore a hat like, and yet unlike, the American slouch. His boots were wide and stout, almost coarse, his cellar ill-fitting and his cravat carelessly ar ranged. But yon forgot all about his dress when yon looked at his face, so calm and strong; it was set off by a great shaggy head of white hair, and a beard such as the patriarchs are supposed to have worn. "Picturesque looking old chap that," one of the loungers in the club window remarked carelesslv. Another of the loungers, who had been watching the pair closely, turned and looked closely and curiously at the speaker. "Perhaps," he said, with just a trifle of sarcasm in his voice, "you don't know who that picturesque old chap is." "Haven't the slightest idea," the other one drawled. "Well, that picturesque old chap, as you call him, is Alfred Tennyson, and that is his son Hallam with him. Take a good look at the laureate while you have a chance. He doesn't come often to London now. and at his age any ot the trips may easily be his last one." Witnessed a Bare Sight. And the group did look at the old man with all their eyes, until he slowly passed beyond their gaze leaning on the arm of his son. . The idlers in the window had witnessed a sight rare indeed in London, lor it is only at long intervals that the poet laureate allows himself to be drawn within heariug of the noise and din of the great overgrown city. All his life he has loved the hills, and long low downs, the sea and the soli tude of the country far more than he has cared for towns. Indeed, it is doubtful if the old poet would give up his beautiful noaM at Haslemere, on tJie Isle of Wight, for the costliest palace London could offer him. " Beside, the poet is now a very old man. He is 83 years of age and he has been writ ing poetry nearly 70 years. Not for five centuries has any English poet of renown lived to such an age. But one, indeed, has lived more than 80 years. That was Will iam Wordsworth, Tennyson's Immediate predecessor in the laureatship. He lived 16 days beyond his 80th year. Bat Words worth at 80 was but the wreck of a man in mind and body. Tennyson at 83 is still comparatively a vigorous old man. True, he does not sing with as full a throat as he once did, but that we may well overlook. No Trappist monk ever lived more out of the world than Tennyson lives now, and yet in all London, and tor that matter, in all the three kingdoms, there is no man who is so sought after as is the laureate. He knows little of this and cares less. It is the constant core of his family to keep him from all care and annoyance.' It is the sole work of his son to see to this. Letters of all kinds pour in upon the poet, by the cart load almost There are Invitations from the highest in the land to dinners, receptions and what not, where he would be the lion of the lions. There are requests for autographs, there are books that the authors hope the poet may find it in his heart to notice. Indeed there are all sorts of letters, some from wise men, and a great many from fools. His Companions Not Numerous. Tennyson himself sees none of these. His son opens and reads them. He an swers such as call for an answer, and throws the rest in the waste basket It must be an important communication. Indeed, that reaches the old poet himself. As for visitors, he wants none, and sees none except a few very close friends. He has never been over-companionable. His pipe, his books and his thoughts have been enough. One of those who are num bered among his friends now tells how he won Tennyson's esteem. It was on the occasion of his first visit The poet re ceived him in his library. He was sitting by the fire, his huge jar of tobacco by his side, his beloved pipe in his mouth. Without Bpeaking he waved his visitor to a seat on the other side of the fire, at the same time handing him a well filled pipe. Then without speaking he went on smoking. The visitor knowing of noth ing else to do, fell to smoking, too, and for two long hours the two men (at there over the fire, sending up clouds of tobacco smoke until they could scarcely see each other's face, and all the while saying not a word. At the end of this time the visitor arose to go. The poet went to the door" with him, shook him heartily by the hand and assured him that he had rarely passed a more pleasant even ing. And he doubtless meant it, for he took the visitor into his friendship there after. Probably he looked npon him as a man of tact and .sense, who could pay a visit and smoke a friendly pipe without annoying with useless conversation. Uutside visitors Tennyson will not see. They journey from all over the world to the Isle of Wight in the hope of obtaining an audience with the laureate, but they are disappointed. They may, perhaps, get a glimpse ot him walking in the shaded lanes near his home, for he is still a famous pedestrian, but even in these walks he is accompanied by bis son, who sees to it that he is not approached by the curious rabble. Sinking to Sleep in Quietude. Such is the greatest living master of song, the poet who stands solitary and alone in his greatness at 83. His life work is done. He has written more continuously and with greater and more unwearying ex cellence than any other poet of his time. To use the language of the poet critio Gosse he "has not headed a single moral re form nor inaugurated a single revolution of opinion; he has never pointed the way to undiscovered regions or tnougnt; he has never stood pn tip-toe to discover new worlds, that his fellows were not tall enough to discover ahead. In all these di rections he has been prompt to follow, qnick to apprehend, but never himself a pioneer." Still the English1 people look upon him as being the greatest master of English verse with a single exception since Milton. All his life he has been arpoet, for we are told that from the time when he, a mere youth, chose the making of poetrv for a pro fession, he has done not one day's work of any other kind for his living, and yet he was poor enough at first He is living very quietlv now. His wife is still with him and spends much of her time in setting her husband's verses to music. And, indeed, these lyrics form the most interesting feature of London drawing room entertainments nowadays. Meanwhile the glorious old man sits in his quiet study at, Haslemere, surrounded bv his books, Jtiis tobacco jar by his side, his beloved pipe near, where he can look out through his open window over glen and wood and hill to where the sea glistens'sil-ver-like in the distance. And, perchance, he may light his pipe and through the clouds of smoke see visions beyondour ken. So let us leave him calmly living out the evening of his lite. When it closes, all England may well mourn, for it may be long before his like may again be' seen. The Laureate's Own Poem on Death. As the days of the poet seem to be num bered his admirers recall one of the most beautiful lyrics of the English language, written by the poet in his 80th year, on this very subject of death. It forms a fitting song for nis own going out It is entitled "Crossing the 'Bar," and is as follows: Sunset and evening star, And one dear call for met And may there be no moaning of the bar When! put out to sea; But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, Wben that which drew from ont the bound less deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bells, And after that the darkl And may there be no sadness of farewells WhenleinDark; For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The floods may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot lace to face When I have crossed the bar. THAT CHICAGO PLANK. George Ticknor Curtfs Writes the Absurdity of on THE DEMOCRATIC TARIFF IDEA. Why and How Ha Widely Differs With tha Yierra pf Senator Hill. A FEEAMBLB TO BJJ BEMEMBERE0. rSPECIAI. TEMEQBAM TO THI DISPATCH.! New Yobk, Oct 5. George Tioknor Curtis, .the eminent Democratic constitu tional lawyer and author, in the following letter, made public to-day, gives his reasons for repudiating the tariff views of the Democratic platform and the candi dates who stand upon it: Bichfield Springs, N. T., Sept 19. To the Editor of the American Economist! Sib That a protective tariff is unconsti tutional is not genuine Democratic doctrine. It is Calhounism, and rank Calhounism, too. Bui even Mr. Calhoun did not at first ques tion the constitutional authority of Con gress when laying duties on foreign prod ucts to discriminate in favor of American industries. He voted for the tariff of 1816 which was highly protective, and it was not nntil 1830 that he adopted the idea of a pro tective tarifl being unconstitutional. I differ entirely from Senator Hill In re gard to the proper method of interpreting the Constitution of the United States. It is true that it does not say in so many words, "the Congress shall have power to protect American manufactures." But it does say in express terms that "the Con gress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises." An Expressed Constitutional Power. This is one of the express powers of the Constitution, and it is to be interpreted by the application of the rule which is applied to all the other express powers. The ex- Sress power is a power to lay taxes, uties, imposts and excises to de fray the expenses of the Government The incidental power is a power to so lay them as to protect and encourage our own industries. The express power would be useless without the incidental power, for without the exercise ot the latter, the peo ple of this country could not be in a condi tion to meet the expenses of their govern ment Senator Hill) like many Democrats of the present day, supposes that because the Constitution does not say in express terms that "the Congress shall have power to protect American manufactures," a pro tective tarin is not witnin its constitutional power. This is what comes of interpreting the Constitution without having the knowl edge necessary to interpret correctly. Ap parently, Senator Hill has never read the first revenue law of the United States, passed in 1879, or the debate in the first House ot Bepresentatives when it was under discussion. In that House there, were ten members who had been members of the convention which framed the Constitution. Mr. Madi son was the leader on the floor, and he con ducted the first revenue bill through the House. Washington was President of the United States, Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury, Jefferson was Secretary of State, and Edmund Randolph was Attorney General. It those four men did not know for what purpose the first revenue law was enacted, and why it was made a highly pro tective tariff, I beg to ask, Who did know? The record shows. The Deadly Parallel. Let me now place side by side the anti protection plank in the Democratic plat form, and the preamble of the act of 1789; and here let me ask my Democratic readers whether ex-President Cleveland, Senator Hill, and other leaders of the Democratic party, at the present day, are better expo nents of the Constitution than Madison, Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Ran dolph and the generation oi men who es tablished it: Preamble of tho first NO. 94 FIFTH AVENUE. Antl-Proteotlon plank of the Demo cratic Diatiorm. We denounce Re publican protection as a fraud npon the labor of the great majority of the American people for the benefit of a few. We declare it to be a fundamental princi ple or the Democratic party tbat the Feder al Government has no constitutional power to impose and collect taiiS duties, excent for the purpose of revenue only. We de mand tbat the collec tion of such taxes be limited to the necessi ties of the Govern ment when honestly and economically administered. Tariff act passed July , 1769. Whereas, It is neces sary for tho .support of Government, for the discbarge of the debts of the Uni ted States, and the encouragement and protection of manufactures. that duties be laid on good", wares and mer chandises imported: Be it enacted, &c,thut from and after the first day of August next ensuing, the sev eral dntles hereinaf ter mentioned shall be laid on the followlns goods, wares and mer chandises Imported into the United States from any foreign port or place. ' THE C00LEYS' SUCCESSORS. A Boad Supervisor in Fayette County Turns Detective With Good Results. . Uniontown, Oct 5. Ibpeeidt. Hen Sullivan, Bill Hill, W. H. Cunningham,' Neff McClellan and William and Newton Lucky were arrested to-day on a charge of Bobbing Nat Murphy and Isaac Wood's meat shop last June. When this robbing was done the crime was charged to the Cooley gang, but Mr. Murphy believed that the Cool Spring gang were the guilty parties, and set about to run them down. Murphy is' Boad Supervisor in . North Union town ship, and hired three of the suspects to work for him. He managed to get them drunk, and they then revealed all they knew, even criminating themselves. Murphy immedi ately had them arrested. Some of the suspects have already earned a reputation at the business and will make worthy successors to the Cooley. Sullivan has not been long out of the penitentiary, where he served a six-years' sentence for robbing the paymaster at the Beeson works, and Hill was imprisoned for harboring the notorious McClellandtown gang. Only One Iron Firm a Bidder. Washington, Oct 5. Bids were opened at Ihe Treasury Department to-day for a vessel of the revenue marine strvlce to be named. William Windom, and to be placed on the Chesapeake Bay station. There were seven bids received, but the only bid within the appropriation, 6100,000. was that of the Iowa Iron, Works, ot Dubuque, at 598,500, and the contract will undoubtedly bo awarded to that firm. Dntles Always Protective. Bequestmg my readers to keep this pre amble before them, I shall, in future com munications, show that in every instance in which there were already existing manu factures with which foreign products came into competition, the dnties were so laid as to afford proper encouragement and protec tion to onr own manufactures, and that many duties were laid for the express pur pose of raising up manufaotuies and agri cultural products tbat did not then exist in the United States. Since the foregoing was written, Mr. Cleveland's letter accepting the Democratic nomination, and planting himself squarely on the anti-Protection plank of the Demo cratic platform, has been published. I shall speak of it in my next In the mean time I remain very truly yours, . Geo. Ticknoe Cuetis. STOP Watches Without Apparent Cause.
