rfrlCIAI, TFLrGRAM TO TIIE DHPATCH.1
Philadelphia, Oct 2a The Times to
morrow will print the following dispatch
from Colonel A, K. McClure, the editor in
chief, now in New York:
"I now regard it as safe to aay that New
Xork is irrevocably settled in the Cleve
land column. Every development of the
last ten days in this State, as elsewhere,
Las shown a positive and growing drift to
Cleveland, and now there is no reasonable
possibility of a revulsion against him. The
fact that this steady tide toward Cleveland
has been more general during the present
week, when the sincerest sympathies of
the whole American people have gone out
to President Harrison in his sore domestic
bereavement, is an unerring index of the
sober sentiment that is about to revolution
ize the tanffpolicy of the Eepublic
Expectations of the Democrats.
"It is now confidently expected by the
Democrats here that Cleveland's majority
in this city will be increased to figures
which will more than overcome the majori
ty against him in the State four years ago,
and Brooklyn will increaschis majority of
1883 fully 5,000. The reports from the
rural districts now unmistakably indicate
that Harrison will be fortunate if he shall
maintain his former majorities, and he is
likely to come to Harlem bridge with from
10,000 to 15,000 less. Such is the estimate
or the most careful and best-miormed lead
ers at Democratic headquarters, and they
have not reckoned without the most sys
tematic and exhaustive inquiries into every
district of the State.
"The Republicans now practically con
cede the loss oi New York, and it is an
open secret that Senator Quay, after a full
review of the situation from the inside
standpoint, anuounced to the party mana
gers that New York was hopelessly gone
from them.
lion- the netting Is Scaled.
"Election betting has been rare in the
contest until lately, but bets of 100 to 70,
.ail etn at greater odds, are now offered
on New York voting for Cleveland, with
out takers. It is now the apparent hope
lessness of the Republican cause in New
York that has made the party managers as
sault Connecticut, Delaware and West Vir
ginia bv every known method of political
debauchery and coercion. The violent
prostitution of the Federal election law by
supervisors in Delaware and Connecticut
gives the people of those States, and of the
countrv generally, a loretaste of what a
force bill would mean if enacted; but it
seems next to certa.n that the very vio
lence of the assault made on Connecticut
and Delaware will recoil upon the Repub
licans. "The Democrats of Connecticut are fully
prepared for the boodle campaign that is
upon them. The Republican boodle dis
pensers v ill find plenty of Democrats in
the market ready to deal for spot cash.
This method of meeting the boodlers has
been considerately adopted and system
matically organized in the centers where
money has been used in past contests, and
the ballot debauchers who are to expend
thousands of dollars in Connecticut between
this and election day will find plenty of
customers.
3ot Exactly Ideal Folitics.
"The boodle w ill be taken, and the peo
ple who take it, as a rule, will vote lor
Cleveland and be safe against detection by
the new secret ballot law. This is not ideal
politic, but it is the only policies that can
cheat the boodle cheaters in their raid upon
the integrity of the ballot
"Four years ago the last fortnight of the
campaign exhibited a steady line of breaks
from the Democratic ranks to Harrison.
Not only manufacturers, but farmers and
business men oi prominence maintained a
continuous tide from Cleveland to Harri
son. The country was terrorized by the
phantom of free trade, and with very rare
exceptions the changes were in favor of
Harrison. Now, even the blindest Repub
lican leader must see that the popular drift
is reversed; that the most conspicuous po
litical changes ever witnessed since the or
ganization ot the Republican party are in
progress and all in favor of Cleveland.
From college professors to workmen in
shops, mills, mines, fields or forests, there
is a constant and ever-crowing tide for
tariff reform, for equality of taxation and
for relief to our industries by removing the
present oppressive and wanton taxes on the
necessaries of business and of life.
Blows Considered Most Staggering.
"Seven Republican Cabinet Ministers,
goins back to Abraham Lincoln's Minister
of Finance, are now supporting Cleveland,
and the most staggering blow'of the cam
paign has just been delivered by General
Rae.late National Commander of'the Grand
Army of the Republic and ex-Congressman
Clark, of New York, a maimed soldier and
until now an earnest Republican. The
notable feature of their revolt is the fact
that they oice the honest veterans of the
nation in supporting Cleveland's pension
policy, that would make our pension roll a
roll ot honor. This is the first break in
favor ot honest pensions to honest soldiers,
and against staining our worthy pensioners
with the slime of the skulker and the thief.
"I witnessed the largest Cleveland mass
meeting at Bridgeport, Conn., last even
ing ever held in that, city, and just an hour
bejore the vast assembly gathered Dr.
Watner, "one of the largest manufacturers
in the State, a lifelong and active Repub
lican and until yesterday on the Harrison
electoral ticket lrom that State, publicly
announced his withdrawal from the ticket.
Warner Is a Bank Dirctoer.
"The reason given to the Republican
State Committee was that as he is a bank
director his eligibility might be questioned,
but to his home neighoors he publicly
stated that he cherished the highest respect
for Cleveland, and that the McKinley tariff
was prejudicial to the industries of
his State. He has been one of
the most active party men, as well as one
of the most liberal contributors, and his
withdrawal lrom the Harrison electoral
ticket and his declaration of faith in Cleve
land and his denunciation of the McKinley
tariff, came upon the Republicans like a
X
thunderbolt from an unclouded sky. If he
were singular in his action, great as his in
fluence is, it would be ot comparatively
little moment, but when he is Only ona of
many ot lika intelligence and power, all
drifting in the same direction, it must mean
revolution.
"The final political roundup of 1892 is
now in progress, and it must be obvious to
all intelligent and unbiased observers that
the strays are all making for the Demo
cratic herd, and unless all signs shall utter
ly fail, Grover will be elected by a large
popular and electoral majority."

DEPEW'S SIZE-UP OF GROVER.
He Thinks the Ex-President
Man of
Firmness and Egotism.
New Haven, Conn., Oct 28. Yale
University, particularly that part of its
undergraduate forces w.hich advocates the
doctrines of the Republican party, to-night
testified to its regard for a distinguished
graduate in the person of Dr. Chauncey JL
Depew, who was the principal speaker at a
Republican rally here. The doctor said
that he knew Mr. Cleveland when very few
outside of Erie county did. He knew he
was a man of directness of purpose and
egotism. He admired him, however, not
for his discretion of wisdom, but because
of his determination to have the right of
way, and'if neces;arv, to die fighting as
he did in 18S8.
There was one thing about Mr. Harrison,
the speaker said, that was in opposition to
the common view ot Grover Cleveland he
did not deem himself a bigger man than
his party. He was a simple, patriotic
representative of the grandest party in the
history of this country.
CAEPBELL PULL OP CONFIDENCE.
He" Looks on Cleveland's Election as a
Foregone Conclusion.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct 2a Specia'. Ex
Governor James E. Campbell returned
home to-day after a three-weeks' tour on
the stump in New Xork and Indiana. He
will return to IudiaDa for four days' speak
ing next week. "I look for Cleveland to
carry the State of Indiana by over 10,000
plurality. Tne Democratic party is thor
oughly organized and the registration and
ballot box laws give them confidence, which
borders on a'certainty. The campaign has
not been so lively as it usually is, but I
found the real enthusiasm and big meetings
were all in Democratic districts. I only
made one speech in Illinois but lrienos
who have been over the State tell me that
the honors are even, and the chances of
Cleveland are as good as those of Harrison.
"It has been ten days since I was- in New
York. Then every indication and promise
favored Cleveland. Tammany will give
Cleveland as loyal support as their own
candidate for Mayor. I look upon Cleve
land's election as a foregone conclusion."
WISCONSIN'S PRETTY SHAPE.
A Few Samples of the Manner in Which It
" Has Been Gerrymandered.
Madison. Wis., Oct. 2a Special As
a little more than a week remains before
election cay, it is hardly possible that legal
proceedings can be instituted in time to ob
tain a decision on the new Democratic
apportionment bill. In the new apportion
ment a itepublican county with a popula
tion of 9,000 is denied a Senator, and a
Democratic county with 42,000 is given one.
Two Democratic counties with a combined
population of 48,000 are given a Senator,
and twoKepublican counties with 48,000
people are denied Senatorial representation.
To three Republican counties with a joint
population of 64,000 one Senator is given,
and to one Democratic county with less
than 43,000 people one Senator is given.
The Xtepublicans, however, will make a
strong fight even against these odds, and
with nb small prospects for victory.
THE CABINET IH SESSION.
A Meeting at Indianapolis to Decide Where
Lach ShaU Speak.
Indianapolis, Oct. 28. The members
of the Cabinet held an informal meeting to
night, at the Denison Hotel, for the purpose
of deciding upon a course of action with
regard to their participation in the political
campaign. As a result of their deliberations
it was decided that Secretary Rusk should
speak in Wisconsin, Secretary Noble in
Missouri, Attorney General Miller in West
Virginia, Postmaster General Wanamafcer
in Fennsyhania and Secretary Charles
Poster in Ohio, Secretary Elkins will also
speak in West Virginia, and probably else
where. Secretaries John W. Foster and Tracy are
not likely to take any part in the campaign,
although it is possible tiie latter mav be in
duced to speak in New York before the
election. Tne President, it is said, knew
nothing of the meeting.

tCOrT EIGHT 1692 BT TIIE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
London, Oct 24 That section .of the
Cabinet having any influence whatever with
home rule proposals has long been so
versed in both the leading principles and
the details of the measure that the presenta-
f-tion of a draft of the bills, if the presenta-
tion occurred at all, must have been consld
ered a mere formality.
Immediately after the Government was
formed, Mr. Gladstone constituted several
committees, each charged with preparing
the leading measures of the coming session
of Parliament The Home Bule Committee
consisted of Mr. Gladstone himself, Earl
Spencer, Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
John Morley and Sir George Trevelyan.
Supreme confidence prevails in the inner
most ministerial circle regarding the abso
lute unanimity of the Cabinet Committee
on the home rule Bcheme. With the com
mittee in unison, dissension is impossible.
And it is certain that the bill will be pre
sented in Parliament, without the remotest
chance of any Minister breaking loose from
his colleagues.
Three Other Great Measures.
The Government measures next in im
portance before the Cabinet are electoral
registration reform, publicans' licenses and
parish councils bills. All of these have
been drafted, and it can now be announced
that they will form the bulk ot the business
of the session.

The currency agitation, radiating from

the commercial and financial circles of

lution affirms that the best remedy for the
depression in trade is a broad, international

the Government co-operate with the coming

Michaal Davitt, writing in Tlie Speaker,
characterizes Dr. Le Caion's book of remin

bad invention." With reference to Dr.
Le Caron's assertion that lie brought a
sealed package lrom John Devoy to Patrick
Egan, who was then in Paris, Mr. Davitt
says that he has obtained from Mr. Egan
the identical sealed packet, a iao simile of
which appears in The Speaker, and instead
of containing a Clan-na-Gael document,
which Dr. LcCaron declares he could not
trust to the mails, it proved to contain only
an ordinary letter of Introduction. Jfr.
Davitt denounces Le Caron's statements
generally as palpable yarns.

of confession, and has proffered no state
ment whatever relating to his guilt or inno
cence. Neill is regularly attended in hfs
cell by the Protestant chaplain attached to
the Newgate prison. He treats the chap
lain courteously, and listens to his admoni

absolute reserve.
Neill is perfectly wide awake regarding

quarters to purchase Neill's clothes, es
pecially the suit which he wears at the time

yet been struck, the prisoner apparently
waiting for increased competition. Neill's

A FEEHCH PBETEHDER SUED
By a Woman Who Always Conducts Her

London, Oct. 2a Mrs. Weldon, who
has gained considerable notoriety through
her lav suits against M. Gounod, her hus
band, and a number of other persons, in
which suits she always conducted her own
case, has commenced an action in the
French courts against a Dutch officer named
Nauenuorff, tvho claims to be the heir to
the French throne through Louis, Charles
and Philip de Bourbon.
Nauendorff is the most celebrated of those
who pretend to be the Dauphin who disap
peared at the time ot the Revolution. Mrs.
Weldon met Nauendorfi at a spiritnaiistlc
seance and lent him 131 on a revelation
made by a spirit that he was the personage
he pretended to be. Nauendorft said he
wanted the money to buy family documents
by which he could prove his claims. As
he has not produced the documents, Mrs.
Weldon has sued him to recover the money
she loaned him.

Pabis, Oct, 2a Deputy Basly called at

to the recent conflicts between French and
Belgian miners at Lons. He accused the
mining companies of discharging their
French miners because they had votes aud
replacing them with Belgian miners, and
he demanded the adoption of measures
against foreign miners. M. Viette, Minis
ter of Public Works, denied tbat the dis
missal of the French miners at Lons was
due to political considerations.
M.Laf argue, amid incessant interruptions,
maintained that capitalists were conspiring
against universal suffrage. He proposed
that masters who employ foreigners be re

Paris, Oct 2a The situation at Car

AGNES HUNTINGTON'S LOVE.
A Philadelphia lawyer's Narrow Escape
From a Breach of Promise Suit
Philadelphia, Oct 28. Aparfai
The announcement in to-day's newspapers
that Agnes Huntington, the sweet-faced
American actress, is engaged to be married
to Paul i. Cravath, a New York lawyer
and a member of the firm of
Cravath & Houston, brought a sigh
of relief from a well-known member of
the Philadelphia bar, also a millionaire.
While in this city, capturing hearts and
ducats by her charming impersonation of
Paul Jones, Miss Huntington met H. La
Barre Jayne, a well-known and highly re
spected lawyer, and a son of the late Dr.
Jayne.
Mr. Jayne's acquaintanceship with Miss
Huntington filled him with the greatest re
spect aud admiration for her womanly
qualities. Their relationship became ot the
most friendly character, but nothing more.
Miss Huntington, however, evidently took
a different view of the matter, and
when, in the natural course of events, Mr.
Jayne's attentions ceased, she felt ag
grieved and professed to believe tbat the
Philadelphia lawyer had been1 guilty of a
violation of faith. Accordingly she placed
her complaint in the hands of her counsel,
ex-Judge Dittenioeffer, of New York, with
instructions to institute a suit for breach of
promise of marriage.
The announcement of Miss Huntington's
engagement of marriage is tantamount to a
notice that she has abandoned the contem
plated suit

Only a short time ago a young man named
Hatch from Derry station was shot down in

foul play. Mr. Girard, pit boss at the
Smith coal mines, had his face grazed a few
evenings since by a pistol'shot in the hands
of a reckless shooter, awl the release ot a
