MEETING OF TKOI HILL DEMOCRATS
Political meetings were held all over the
two cities last night The Bepublicans had
demonstrations in Lawrenceville and the
Southside, while the Democrats captured
Mt Tror. At the Lawrenceville meeting
Hon. John Dalzell took up the Homestead
trouble.
He opened bis address with a reference to
the two great issues ot the campaign, tariff
and money. Taking up the subject of tariff
he proceeded to discuss it from the ground
work of levying duties on imports to secure
revenues up to the present protective tariff
gvitem. He said there isn't a nation on the
lace of the earth to-day that hasn't a tariff,
and all but one have a protective tariff
That one is England, and she has a revenue
of$100,000,000andher tariff percentage is
65 per cent, while that ot the United States
is but 20 per cent. Mr. Dalzell was pro
ceeding wjien a man in the audience ex
claimed: "How about Homestead?"
Mr. Dalzell 111 tell you in a little bit
Another voice Mr. Dalzell Why does
tariff protect the manufacturers and leave
free trade in labor?
Tariff and Immigration Distinct Questions.
Mr. Dalzell My dear sir, the tariff has
nothing to do with the .question of immi
gration. They are separate and distinct
questions entirely.
Voice Then hy not wipe out the tariff?
Mr. Dalzell I'll tell you why, if you
will listen.
He was about to proceed when another
man exclaimed: "Why is it that a certain
kind of glass made in Liverpool which is
the only place it can be made, is the high
est taxed article in the tarifi?"
Mr. Dalzell The tariff is not high enough
on it to protect the American manufacturer
in making it
Cries here went up for Homestead infor
mation, and Mr. Dalzell said: "I have no
objection to talk on the Homestead situa
tion. I understand that at Homestead
here has been a conflict between employer
and employe. It was as to a difference in
regard to the wage rate. The employe did
not believe he was receiving a lair share of
the profits of the joint product of his em
ployer's capital and his labor. The employer
also objected to dealing with a labor organ
ization. Ko intelligent man in this coun
try would deny to the workingman the
right to organize for his own protection.
Not Antagonistic to Labor.
"There was nothing in the principles of
the Republican party that was antagonistic
to organized labor. Labor has as much
right and more necessity to organize than
captal, because labor standing alone is
weaker. Each has a right to organize and
make its demands on the other. Capital
can say we grant or we will refuse; labor
can accept or decline. That is as far as
either can go. Neither party had any right
higher than law; neither can go beyond the
law. Any other doctrine means the sap
ping of the social foundations and the de
struction of the State." Continuing, he
said that as to Homestead, whether any
man got sufficient wages or not he would
not say because be was not conversant with
the facts; but no one would say that em
ployes in Homestead or anywhere in Alle
gheny county do not set higher and better
wages than in any .other country on the
globe. The strike at Homestead, he as
serted) has no political significance; there
are more strikes in unprotected industries
than in protected ones.
Ko Tariff, No Strikes.
"To-night," he said, "200,000 hollow-eyed
men tramp the streets of free-trade Eng
land striking, not for higher wazes, but for
any wages at all." He said further, if we
had no tariff we would have not strikes, be
cause we would hare nothing to strike
about; we would never have bad the
magnificent plants at Homestead, Braddock
and elsewhere but for tariff;
Mayor Gourley spoke next. He said:
"Whatever may be the result of the elec
tion, I know that I speak the sentiments of
every man in this house wben I say that
the sympathy ot the 65,000,000 of inhabit
ants of this country goes silently out to
President Harrison in his bereavement In
the solemnities of this hour I had rather
be silent than make a political speech.
In his four years of office President Har
rison has discharged every duty that has
devolved on him faithfully and well. I
admire Benjamin Harrison because of his
Independence. He has had no rope around
his neck, no shackles on his feet He has
not always done as the politicians told him."
Mayor Gourley thenjdealt with the issues
of the campaign. In his pleasant way he
touched on the monetary question and pro
tection. Hon. A. C Bobertson discussed the prin
ciples of the Republican party, lauding it
highly, and denounced the' Democratic
party for the negative position it has al
ways taken on great questions.

UNCLE JERRY'S VIEWS.
Secretary Busk Would Like to See Now
Tork Knocked Out as the Pivotal State
He Is Afraid or the Heavy Registra
tion in the Metropolis.
Uncle Jerry Busk, Secretary of Agricul
ture, passed through the eity yesterday
afternoon bound for Washington. He in
tended to stay in Wisconsin until after the
election, but was called to the capital by
the death of Mrs. Harrison. He was sched
uled to make a speech in Milwaukee, but
he didn't get a chance to deliver it Con
cerning the political outloot in the West
he said:
"Wisconsin isa Bepublican State, and
will support the President It is conceded
that we will lose three electoral votes in
Michigan. We lost Wisconsin through the
school issue two years ago. Its influence is
still felt, and is an uncertain element I
am convinced that all the Lutherans have
been won over to the national ticket and
at least one-half will support the State
ticket Ex-Senator Spooner, our.candidate
for -Governor, always opposed the school
law and is popular with the people. I met
Governor Bouck, of Colorado, at Chicago,
and he assured me his State would give
Harrison 10,000 of a majority. At one
time Colorado was considered doubtful, but
the people are feeling better now. I
haven't paid any attention to Nevada, but
Senator Jones says the Bepublicans will
carrv it
"I am alittle afraid of New York on ac
count of the heavy registration. For that
matter the registration is large in all the
cities. In Milwaukee the increase is 20,000
and it is bic in Chicago. We have the bulk
or the increase in the "West I think we
will carrv Milwaukee, which is Democratic,
by 10,00d I wish it were possible to make
acombination that would leave New York
out as a pivotal Slate. The people over
there dominate both parties and Democrats
and Bepublicans alike are tired of it Year
alter year the iorces must be concentrated
in New York. II we could only break up
the South and change the political com
plexion I would be clad of it, but
ihat seems to be impossible.
I would like to see the Bepub
licans come down to Kings county with
115,000 votes to spare, and wipe the Tam
many crowd from the face ot the earth.
Connecticut is another Slate that ought to
be Bepublican. The tanners are great
tobacco raisers, and the McKinley bill has
helped them very much. In fact all their
benefits were received from the Bepublican
party. I received a letter from a tobacco
grower the'other day who told me that the
tariff had advance'd prices 50 per cent
They must be a queer people if they don't
want to continue a policy that has helped
their business."
Mr. Busk hadn't heard that Senator Quay
was in New York, and wben informed of it
his face lit up with a significant smile. He
remarked that Quay was a great leader,
and knew how to conduct a campaign. He
asked about the arrangements for Mrs.
Harrison's funeral. He said the President
is a man of remarkable physical strength' or
he could not have endured the long vigil by
the bedside of his wife. He added that
Mr. Harrison stood the effects of the Cali
fornia trip better than anybody in the
party.
BEED, OF HAUTE, TO-KIQHT.
A targe Audience Expected to Listen to
the Great Parliamentarian.
Great preparations .are being made by
the Bepublican County Committee for the
mass meeting at Old City Hall to-night to
be addressed by Thomas B. Beed, of Maine.
It is not likely that there will be any
demonstration prior to Mr. Beed'a appear
ance on the platform. He does not know
what time he will reach the city and con
sequently no reception committee will meet
him.
Mr. Beed will bs the only speaker of the
evening. His leputation as a bright,
witty talker has caused a great demand lor
seats at to-night's meeting, the headquarters
being beseiged with persons anxious to
secure tickets ot admission. None are
being issued except to ladies land vice
presidents. The latter will have seatB on
the platform and the ladies will be pro
vided with reserved Beats.
The meeting will be called to order by
Chairman Gripp, and after the selection of
a President lor the evening the Maine
statesman will begin his speech without
other formalities.
PASTY NOMINEES WILL WIN.
Colonel Hawkins Thinks Acheson Will Be
Slashed a Little.
Colonel A. L. Hawkins and Dr. W. 8.
Grim are stopping at the Central Hotel.
Thay -are defendants in the lams' case,
which comes up in court to-day. The Colo
nel thinks Acheson will be elected to Con
gress. He says Acheson will be cut a little
in Greene and Washington counties, but lie
will make up for it in Allegheny and Fay
ette. "I tell the people in Greene county,"he
said, "that they want the earth and a
little more besides. My regret has always
been that I was born near the border of this
county. I was through the eastern section
lost week, which is the Bepublican strong
hold. I met some emocrats who will vote
Acheson, and I found the rank and file of
Bepublicans in line. The Greene people are
great kickers.
DEMOCBATS MAECH IN ALLEGHENY.
The Sit Troy Democratic Association Has a
Big Parade and Mass Sleeting.
One thousand five hundred men paraded
over the streets of Allegheny last night
amid fireworks displays and the assembled'
multitude. Many Pittsburg clubs were in
line. The parade was a preliminary to a
mass meeting held under the auspices of the
Mt Troy Democratic Association in Bhein
hart's HalL The parade consumed so much
time'that the meeting did not open until
nearly 11 o'clock. John P. Kunkel pre
sided, with a long list ot vice'presidents.
Speeches were limited to five minutes and
the meeting adjourned after 12 o'cloek.
A LAWYER CONFUSED.
George A. Jenks Will Engage a Lawyer to
Help Him Vote.
George A. Jenks, ex-Solicitor General of
the United States, came to Pittsburg yester
day from his Brookville home. He will
appear in the Supreme Court on Thursday
in a partnership cose in which he is con
cerned. "What do yon think of the Baker ballot
law?" was asked Mr. Jenks. "It is a pe
culiar piece of legislation," he replied.
"If lean find a bright lawyer I will engage,
him to assist me at voting when election
day comes. The only thing I can say for
the Baker ballot law is that it is an imita
tion of the Australian system. It has its
head poinred in the right direction and
from it ballot reform will surely come. I
have read the Baker act, but I really don't
understand it The Australian system is
the purest and best election law I have ever
seen."

THE PETTSBURS
TWO' NOTED DIVfflES
Tendered a Brilliant Reception by
the Presbyterian Union.
JDDGB EWING IS T0A8THASTER.
Drs. W. C. Toung and Bobert Christie tbe
Gnerts of Honor.
MANY CLEVER SPEECHES ARE MADE
A large and distinguished company of
ministers, -judges, manufacturers, mer
chants and business men in general joined
in the reception at the Monongahela House
last evening of the Presbyterian Union of
Pittsburg and Allegheny, given in honor of
Bev. Dr. William C Young, Moderator of
the last General Assembly, and Bev. Dr.
Bobert Christie, recently called to the
chair of didactic and polemic theology in
the Western Theological Seminary. It was
a representative gathering, and many were
accompanied by their wives and invited
guests.
The union is an organization among local
Presbyterians to cultivate sociability and
good fellowship among the members of the
church in this vicinitv. It meets frequently,
and the aim has been since its formation
three years ago to have banquets at stated
periods during the year. Judge Ewing is
president and Ber. E. R. Donehoo secre
tary. The last feast was given about three
monlhs ago in the Kenmawr HoteL But
the reception and collation last evening were
the crowning work of the union so far. The
arrangements had been made and were exe
cuted on a grand scale.
Both Prominent Presbyterian Clergymen.
Dr. Christie has recently come here from
St Paul and Dr. Young happened to be in
the city supplying the pulpit of the First
Church, and it was decided to give these
two brilliant preachers a reception. Before
the time of Dr. Purves in Pittsburg, Dr.
Young was called to the pastorate of the
First Church. He declined, preferring to
be a teacher as well as minister. He is
President of the theological seminary at
Danville, Ky., and is enthusiastio in his
work. He preaches frequently in Cincin
nati and Louisville, and often before the
boys, as he calls them, in the school.
"I wouldn't want," he Baid, "a better
audience than to talk to 300 or 400 intelli
ceut young men between the ages ot 16 and
2o years. It titer are moving on the right
track, what a power for good they are, and
if they are wrong ho much of evil thev
can accomplish 1 A theological teacher is
sowing seed that will be widely dissemi
nated. I am settled in Kentucky, and
there my lite work is located."
Covers were laid lor 250 people, and 248
by actual count were present Previous to
the banquet a reception was held in the
parlor ot the hotel. All the guests were
introduced to Drs. Young and Cnristie.
Bar and Pulpit Do the Honors.
Judge Ewing and Bev. Mr. Donehoo
were, yie masters of ceremonies, and did
the honors lor the occasion. Dr. Christie
in his speech afterward, said preachers usu
ally do not receive such public receptious,
and while the introductions were in
progress he was reminded of a picture that
appeared in Earper'i in connection with
Grant's tour around the world. It was
when the lamous soldier had finished his
globe trotting. A hand resting on a cush
ion of the softest down appeared in the
illustrated paper. It was weary looking
from the snaking it had received. Dr.
Christie was no donbt tired, but he
appreciated the courtesy extended to him.
The time around 'the board was snent in
pleasant conversation. Judge Ewing, as thev
presiuing omcer, was nanneu oy tne two
guests ot the evening, and nearby sat Jus
tices Williams and Heydnck. A short dis
tance away was Judge Slazle, and in the
crowd were noticed a number of prominent
lawyers. Among the guests were T. C
Lazear, James B, Scott, Charles Speer,
cashier of the First National Bank; Calvin
Wells, J. McFarland Carpenter, Dr. Mur
dock, G C. Mellor, Dr. W. H. Cook, mod
erator of the Washington Assembly; Dr. J.
D. Moffat, President of the Washington
and Jefferson College; Bev. Dr. Holmes,
Dr. J. Guy McCandless, Bev. Dr. Bobinson,
James B. Mellon and wile, Dr. J. B. Suth
erland and wife, Dr. W. J. Holland, W. P.
Potter, W. A. Booth, Alex. Murdock, Dr.

Smith, Dr. H. W. Fulton, & A. Duncan
and wife, Dr. J. A. Libbey, W. H. Cook,
Bev. W. W. McKinney and others.
Introduced by Judge Ewing.
Judge Ewing demonstrated that he is a
good toast master, as well as an able and
impartial President of a court He was
witty, and put everybody in a good humor
with his frequent sallies. In introducing
Dr. Young he said they met as Presby
terians, with a strong respect and regard tor
other denominations. Thev loved their
church, and were working 'to spread its I
principles ana teachings. The Judge paid
Dr. Young some very fine compliments,
and as the Moderator of the last General
Assembly he is the head of the Presby
terian Church
Then followed the treat of the evening.
Dr. Young made a masterly speech on
"Christian Enthusiasm." He acknowledged
in a delicate way the piaiseol JudgeEning.
The brilliant minister resembles Henry
Wattersou, and like most Kentuckians he
is eloquent, an orator of no mean ability,
His brow is broad, evebrows heavv and his
-;t, rru.A' ; ;n:.s r . I
projective forehead is indicative of great
perceptive powers. It was a. metaphysical
eliort, ana much enjoyed by his hearers.
The drift of his 'speech was that
enthusiasm in religious and Becular
affairs, when guided by . reason, is
a potential ' factor in tbe development
ff mankind and in promoting the physical
progress of the world. Enthusiasm should
not be fanatic. It is dangerous when it
runs riot like fire that leaps its barriers,
and lays waste beautiful dwellings and de
stroys the work of man. An inseenre dam
may result in the destruction of a Johns
town, but that is no reason why men could
et along without water. They must build
ams higher and stronger. Fire lies at the
base of the industries that has made Pitts
burg famous and prosperous. The human
race could not live without it The same
reasoning will apply to enthusiasm.
The Power of Enthusiasm.
"Enthusiasm has to do with imagination.
This is one of the grandest faculties given
man, no less beneficent than memory. The
best of men believe in enthusiasm as
to secular affairs. The material growth of
Pittsburg is the result of enthusiasm.
It is the lorce that guided
a Morse, Fulton, Westinghonse and

DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY,
Carnegie, as well as a Milton, Byron
and a Hawthorne. Their work has been
the result of enthusiastio hearts. There is
as much difference between the alphabet and
the In Memoriam' as between a
ton of the shapeless iron ma
terial that comes to this city
from tbe lakes, and the delicately formed
instrument used by tbe surgeon in the most
dangerous operations." He referred to Sena
tor Beck, as an example, who went to Lex
ington as the humble builder of stone
fences, but who by bard study became a
United States Senator 15 years afterward.
Tbe history of human progress is the work
of enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm In Material Blatters.
It should be fervent and burning If the
object is good and beneficent Enthusiasm
should be impassioned, but always reason
able. This is tbe test They should go
hand in hand. Jesus and Panl were enthu
siasts. The Church needs fiery zeal in the
prosecution of its' work.
Dr. Young concluded his speech by refer
ring to the founding of the theological
seminary in Kentucky. Daring the height
of the Revolutionary War Virginia set
aside 10,000 acres tr the school in the
wilderness of Kentucky. Many people
laughed at the scheme as visionary, but the
college has done a great work.
Dr. Christie intended to speak on city
evangelization, but as the hour was late and
many of the guests were compelled to catch
trains, he confined himself to making a lew
general facetious remarks. He hoped to
discuss the subject at some length in the
future. He was born in Scotland, and
is blessed with tbe Scotchman's rugged
wit He thanked the people for his re
ception, and added that, like the poor, they
would always have him with them. This
made the guests laugh, and Dr. Christie
made a very favorable impression on all his
hearers.
In conclusion Judge Ewing called on Dr.
Guy McCandless to" lead in the singing of
the Doxology, in which all joined. Bev.
Dr. Bobinson pronounced the benediction.
ROBBED HIS FRIEND.
Julius Doerr Takes the Savings of His
Boom-mate to Tisit Ills Old Home He
Returns to Make Amends and Is Ar
rested. Yesterday afternoon while Officer Kim,
of the Allegheny lorce, was patrolling his
beat along Sycamore itreet, he jaw Julius
Doerr, a German, who he thought was
wanted, and he concluded to interrogate
.him. After a short conversation with him
and not gaining mueh'information, he con
cluded to send him to the Central station.
After he had been placed under arrest,
Doerr confessed that he was wanted for a
robbery he had committed last July. He
said to Supsrintendent Moth that up to
July 11 he was employed at the Leggate
Spring and Axle Works, as . was also his
roommate, Sylvester Schnethers. For
some time he had had a longing to visit his
native land, but he was short of the neces
sary money to pay his way.
Doerr and his roommate boarded on
Buente street, in Beserve township.
Schnethers, by nard work and frugal living,
had saved up $105. Doerr had often looked
with a longing eye on the small hoard, and
finally he succumbed to temptation. On
July 11. last be secured a leave of absence
from the works on a plea of being sick, and
at once went to his boarding house. Secur
ing an axe he broke open Schnethers' trunk
and searched for the savings, which he
finally found. He also found a silver watch
and some valuable ppers.
He then disappeared. He told Superin
tendent Muth yesterday that he had ' satis
fied his desire by visiting his old home in
Germany. After the money was all gone
he began to think of the friend he had
treated so cruelly in America, and con
cluded to return and make amends. He
sold the watch tor a small sum and started
back. He had a hard time of it, but finally
managed to reach New York by working
his way across the ocean. He then started
for this city, which he reached, after a long
tramp, on last Sunday. He said that when
he was arrested he was looking for his
friend, and it was his intention to make
what amends were in his power, and he was
heartily sorry for what he had done.
BIDS OPENED T0-M0RR0W.
The Contract for the Erection of the New
City Home to Be Let One Contractor
Has to Torn the Building Over Com
plete. To-morfow afternoon the contract for
erecting the buildings on the new Poor
Farm will be awarded. The bids will be
opened by Chief Elliot in Common Council
chamber.
There are four or five bids in, and prob
ably no others will be received. The man
or firm who gets the contract will have a
big job. Chief Elliot does not intend to do
any sub-letting, but one contractor must
do -the whole work. Hp thinks the build
ings will cost (300,000 or $400,000 and the
lucky bidder must give $500,000 security.
The idea in having one, contractor putting
the building in readiness to move into i a
novel one. Contractors say they never
before had a similar job to bid on. Chief
Elliot arranges 'it this way so the people of
Pittsburg will know from the beginning
just what the buildings are to cost Then
with but one contractor, Mr. Elliot will not
be responsible if the work is not com
pleted at the time specified.
'xne nttings ana arrangement ot tne
buildings are to be the most modern,
There will not be a gaspipe in the entire
structure. Electric light is to be used ex
clusively Three dynamos will be put in,
and in this way one can always be held in
reserve. A 1,200 horse-power engine will
furnish the power. This will not all be
needed, but the idea is to have it in case the
buildings should be enlarged at any time.
A feature in the new home will be the bath
room. Chief Elliot intends to have this J
apartment so arranged that the inmates can
be thoroughly cleansed. The Datns win be
constructed that there will be no danger
from contagious diseases.
from contagious diseases.
Chief Elliot will either personally or em
ploy some one to superintend the erection
of the structure so that his idea will be
carried out to the letter.

THE SHERIFF IN A HOLE
He Will Have to Enstle to Get Bis
Election Notices Posted.
THEY MUST BE DP 10 DAIS BEFORE.
Ihe Official List or rolling riaces Not
'Compiled Yet.
MORSE SCHOOL DIRECTORS E'CKIXG
Sheriff McCleary expects to receive the
official list of candidates, for the coming
election some time to-day. It was learned
indirectly yesterday that during the day
the Allegheny county list, exclusive of , the
Twenty-fourth Congressional district can
didates, would be mailed from Harrisburg.
Under the Baker law the Sheriff is to re
ceive this list ten days before election and
he must also post notices and advertise the
polling places by proclamation ten days
before election. If the list comes to-day be
will barely be able to get his notices printed
and distributed in time. If they should be
delayed longer it will be impossible to fully
comply with the law. The notices should
be posted by Thursday. According to the
law the official list should be in the hands
of the Commissioners ten days before the
election, but they have not heard anything
about it
A question which is now agitating the
Commissioners is where the Sheriff will get
his list of polling places. If every place is
not properly designated in his proclama
tion, and a contest should be made, each
election district not properly located by the
Sheriff will be thrown out This has been
done repeatedly in the past The Baker
law makes no provision whatever for a
record of the polling places by which the
Sheriff can be guided. Section 19, provides
that the Commissioners must provide a
room in each district large enough to ac
commodate all tin paraphernalia required
by the Baker law.
Old Polling Places Too Small Now.
Most of the polling places used hereto
fore are too small for this, and many
changes will be required. The Commis-
Lsioners have authority to erect temporary
buildings for the purpose, but as the struct
ures cost $225 each, they are endeavoring to
avoid that expense by changing the polls to
larger buildings where possible. In every
case where such a change is required and
the Commissioners find it out they have the
court petitioned to make an order, for the
purpose. Forty such orders have been
made thus far. But it is considered certain
that proper arrangements will not
be made by the officers in many districts
uniil it is too late to get them into the
Sheriff's list or to have them changed by
the court Under tbe old law the Clerk of
Courts kept a record of polling places, but
no record is provided for in the Baker law.
The Commissioners were yesterday served
with a notice to appear in court to-day to
answer a bill in equity filed by the direct
ors of tbe Morse sub-district school of the
Twenty-fifth ward, which asks for an in
junction to prevent the use of the school as
a polling place. The Court granted a pre
liminary injunction. J. S. and E. G. Fer
guson are the attorneys for tbe board.
School Directors Are Kicking Now.
The ground for the suit is that under the
Baker law it wonld be necessary to tear out
the school furniture to provide room for the
booths, guards, eta, and it would close the
schoolroom used for several days besides
annoying and interfering with the work of
the whole school. The board notified the
Commissioners theycould not use the build
ing; but the notice was disregarded and the
materials for the election have been placed
in the building ready to set up. The board
claims the Commissioners have authority to
secure another place or to erect a building
and that they must do it
The board consists of Messrs. C. Lode,
John McKaine, M. M. Felker, John Shook
and W. S. Jones. Last spring they ap
plied in court for a decree requiring' that
the polling place be removed from the
school, but Judge Ewing in a rather caustic
way gave them to understand a school
house was a proper place for a polling
place and refused to make the decree. The
petition was ridiculed outside the court at
the time, and the x board members were
chafed about it The Commissioners have
nothing to say about the suit, maintaining
that Judge Ewing was right before and
they expect to be upheld this time.
THE XATOB OPPOSES A C0HTBACT,
Wants the Removal of Dead Animals Made
Part of a General Garbage Contract
Mayor Gourley intends to confer with
Chief Brown about the five-year contract
with Dr. Czamecki for the removal of dead
animals. His Honor thinks this should be
included in a general contract for the dispo
sition of garbage. A city official is quoted
as saying that there, are persons who would
pay lor the privilege for which Dr. Czam
ecki is to receive $3,500 a year, making far
more than that from the hides, bones and
carcasses of the animals. The chief says
that if any person had bid under Czamecki
they would have received the contract, but
the doctor was the only bidder.
