.THE. P1TTSBUKG DISPATCH. -SUNDAY. DECEMBER 11, 1892. ECDNOMY IS URGED By President-Elect Cleveland as the Corner Stone for His Party TO BUILD SOLIDLY UPON. k Conservative Speech Delivered Be fore the Reform Club. LITTLE OP HIS POLICY OUTLINED, But Enough to Indicate That Ho Fully In - tends for HIi Partj TO LITE UP TO ALL OF ITS PLEDGES Kbw York, December la Statesmen dined a statesman to-night in the con cert hall of the Madison Square Garden. It was the Reform Club's dinner to President elect Grover Cleveland, but the dinner, exquisite as it was, is an after consideration, though it came first on ths regular pro gramme. The speeches delivered by the statesman and the statesmen atter the din ner had been disposed ct were the attrac tive features of the occasion. It was the prospect ot brilliant oratory and wise counsel that filled the boxes and galleries with men and women interested in the welfare of the Government It was not the dinner that attracted them, and the audience was not disappointed. A nnmber of the leading statesmen of the Democratic party, and ot the nation, lor that matttT. spoke, and they spoke well and to tin point Thev said brilliant things in a brilliant wav and gave wise counsel, and the people who crowded the boxes and the calleries were immensely pleased, judging bv their approval in the way of vigorous applause. 'ilie statesmen and patriots who spoke, aside from President-elect Cleveland, were Carl Schurz, Senator Kojer Q. Mills, of Texas; ex-Governor James E. Campbell, of Ohio; Governor-Elect Stone, of Missouri; W. C. Breckenriilge, of Kentucky; Senator Carlisle, and Congressman Thomas L. Johnson, ol Ohio Hon. "William It Mor rison, of Illinois, was to have made an ad dress, but death in his family prevented his attendance. Sir. "tt liltney an Honored Cues. Everything was in readiness for the guests "at 7 o'clock. Flowers and foliage plants from the tropics were lastefullv ar ranced about the hall. The honored and distinguished guest came half an hour later. He was accompanied bv ex-Secretary AVhit nev, -E. Ellery Anderson and one or two others. As the President-elect entered the hall ther was a general clapping of hands, to which he gracefully bowed. A noticeable feature of the dinner was the nnmber of out-of-town statesmen pres ent Almost every State was (represented. At least oue-third of the 575 who sat down at the dinner were from out of the citr. The speakers" table was on the platform of the hall, so that not only the diners but the people in the boxes and galleries had no difficulty in seeing and hearing the speakers and speeches. Fourteen other tables were arranged on the floor, in rows seven wide and two deep, the eight aisles extending lengthwise ot the halL At each table were seated 37 persons. An additional table was placed in the assembly room, at which 20 members of the club sat There were no toasts on the menu cards. W liat Mr. Cleveland liad to Say. The presiding officer announced the ipeakers. The first was the one for whom all were most anxiously waiting Presi dent elect Cleveland. He spoke in a tone that reached every part of the hall, and was often interrupted bv applause. He said: Mr. President and Ladies s.nd Gentlemen: I Uave nothing new or startling to say to you, and I hope to do little more than re mind ton of the meaning and significance of tlii occasion. As we are here pat!e-el together we represent those who have oeen ttillinc to risk all consequences in a battle Tor principles w hlch are jrrounded on purest patr otism, becauso they accord with the purposes and objects of our free institu tions. A plain feature or this gathering, whlcu'I am sure wauns the hearts of all ot us, is our celebration of one of the grandest and most complete vlctoues ever achieved in the strucele for n? lit and justice: and our glad greeting of the brightest liht of triumph our generation has seen, bursting lroin the clouds or defeat and discouragement. Let me su ".rest to you, however, that we can contemplate nothing moio gratifying in connection with this assemblage than the pi-oof it affords that the American people can be trusted to manace the Government w Inch has been given into their keeping. Faith and Confidence Must Be Kept. irthere are those who have been disap pointed and disheartened bv the extent to w hich onr people havQ been deceived and misled, or who, witu fear, have seen heed lessness of the duty o citizenship open wide the door or corrupting influences, or who, with tad foiebodings, have beheld popular rule nearing the .atal rocks or a debauched suffrage, or ho have mourned because ap peals to selfishness and promises of unequal advantages were apparently undermining that patriotism wbicb alone Justifies our liopeot national prospeilty, let this occa sion and the events wlilcli have led to it re instate their iHith and their confidence in their countrymen. It it has seemed to those striving for tet ter public sentiment that the disposition was growing among our people to regard their Government as a. depository of indi vidual benefits, to be importuned and threatened and despoiled, let them take heart from the evidences before their eyes, that thrre is still abroad in the land a con tiolllng belief tha our Government should le a nource of just and beneficent rule. E loudly supported by free men, protected j- their care and watchfulness, and return ing to all our people, with equal hand, the safety and happiness it holds in store for tUeml Deceit Sore to Overreach IteelL If w e have learned that an appeal to the patriotism of our countrymen, and an hon est pi csentation of political principles to their intelligence and judgment are not in vain, the thouzht'must not escape us that while our people a! 11 in the end repay with tl.eir support the political party which ad-dru-ses their understanding and reason, in stead of their prejudices and selfish inter ests, they will surely revenge themselves upon tho-e who deceive or betray them. Tho National Democracy and its allies In political principle rejoice over the defeat of those whose late is full of instruction and warning. While we find in our triumph a result of popular intelligence which we have aroused, and a consequence of popular vigi lance winch we nave stimulated, let us not lor a moment forget that our accession to powr will find neither this intelligence nor this vigilance dead or slumbering. We are thus bioujbt face to lace with the reflection that if wo are not to be tormented by tho spirits which we ourselves have called up, we must hear above victorious shouts the call of our fellow countrymen to public duty, and must put on a garb befitting pub lic servants. .... Tho sentiment suggested by this occasion which should dw arf all others has relations to the responsibility which awaits those who now rejoice in victory. If w redeem the promises we have made to the voters of our land the difficulty of our task can hardly be exaggerated. All Mast Be on an Equal Plane. Conditions involving most important in terests must be reviewed and modified, and perplexing problems menacing our safety mut be settled. Above all, and as the ultimate object of all wo do, tho rights and the welfare ol our people in every condition In life must bo placed upon a more equal piano or opportunity and advantage lam confident the wisdom of the Demo cratic party will be equal to tho oinergepcy, and I base ny confluence prion the belief that ft will be patriotically true to its prin- I doles and traditions and will follow the path marked out oy true American senti ment. Wo should not enter npon our work In the least spirit of resentment nor In heedless disregard of tho welfare of any portion of our citizens. The mission of our party, and tbo re'orms we contemplate do not involve tho encouragement .of Jealous animosities nor a destructive discrimination between American interests. In order that we may begin with freo bands, we should vigorously oppose all delusions which have their origin in undem ocratic teachings or In demagogic attempts to deceive the pepnijj"sre catch words, which, if they mni90HsHmgi have no rela tion to sound policy, ana phrases, invented to please the ear of the victims or cunning greed, ought not to stand in our way. Look ing beyond all these things we shall find Just principles, furnishing a vantage ground from which we can lay out a safe course of action. A Flea for Rigid Economy. VTe should strive to lid ourselves and onr countrymen or the idea that there is any thing shabby of disgraceful in economy, whether in public or private life. If ex travagance in public expenditure has pre vailed in the past it affords no excuse for its contiuuance; and there is no breach of duty so palpable as the waste of money held by public servants lor the people's uses. Our Government was founded In a spirit of frugality and economy, and its administra tion should .not depart from those lines. We need no slitter nor show to divert onr people Irom turbulent thoughts. We have a more substantial guarantee against "dis content rh a plain and simple plan of rule in which every citizen has a share In or der that this should do its perfect work, it is essential that there' should exist among our people a wholesome and disinterested love for their Government for its own sake, and because it is a heritage belonging to all. Tho cultivation of such a sentiment is not only a hljh duty but an absolute necessity to the consummation of tbo reforms we enter upon. Wo shall utterly and disgrace fully fail if we attempt these reforms nnder the influence of petty partisan schemlnz or the fear or jeopardizing personal political fortunes. They can only be accomplished when unselfish patriotism guides the aspi rations of our people and" regulates the notion of their chosen servants. We who are to be charged with the re sponsibility of making and executing the laws should begin our preparation for the task bv a rfcrid seir-examination and by a -el r-purgation from all Ignoble and unwor thy tendencies threatening to enter into our motives and designs Then may we en Join UDon all our countrymen the same duty and then may we hope to perform faithfully and successfully the work entrusted to our glands by a conndlng peoDle. Tom Johnson Demands Free Trade. Hon Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, spok? as follows: The Democratic party has been long used to defeat. Now it faces the responsibility of a sweeping victory. Only party honesty and party courage can guide it safely. The rea, danger is not from without but from within.no? Irom open enemies, bnt from lialr-bearted friends: not that we may go too fast and too far in abolishing protection, but that we may not go fast and far enough. What the masses demand of the Democratic party is that It shall conform practice to profession; that its action shall be as radical as its platform. It is not the people, but the leaders, who now need education on the tariff question. The people indicated their will in the Con gressional election of 1S90. thoy again indi cated it In Chicago by forcing the nomina tion of Mr. Cleveland against the politicians and a radical platform against a piotection ist majority report. And again they have spoken, and with a determination that will btook no delay. We must do something commensurate with our victory. A gre it Idea Is again beginning to move in. American politics. The Democratic ava lunclie has started. It will rend the party that tries to piny with it; it will crush who ever Keeks to block its way. 'What a Con gress can do is controlled by its organiza tion. The will of the people will be thwarted and the next Congress paralyzed if we azain put halt-hearted men in the lead. In organizing the new House let us remem ber that '"party honesty is party duty, and party courage is party expediency," and put in the lead men who will not palter with protection. We need not fear the free trader or the slnxle taxer. 'the man whom theDemocratic party has to fear in its councils Is tho susar-coated protectionist. The quicker be goes elsew here the better. We neeu his room. The masses trust non estv and love courage. They despise a trim mer and hate a coward. ' We should not be Xrightened by a deficit nor hampered by any supposed necessity of continuing the extravagance of protection ist profligacy. Nor need we fear that the people will not submit to direct taxation. iV lmt thoy w ill no longer submit to are the taxes on consumption, which throw the burden on those least able to bear it. Mills Says Labor Must Be Emp'oyed. Hon. Roger Q. Mills spoke after Mr. Johnson and Car Schurz, saving, among other things on tariff legislation: In proceeding to prepare the measure which is to be substituted for the present law ot taxation one subject" roust stand prominent, overtopping And overshadowing all others: that, one is -that we must see that whatever measure or taxation we adopt shall not Only not impair the right of Ameri can people to labor and to market the prod ucts or their labor, but to see that the em ployment or the labor of the whole country sluill be a prime object of the Democratic party when it prepares its measures for adoption. Applause. The next speaker vas ex-Governor James E. Campbell, of Oiiio, who said: "Party success comes not irom principles without men, nor from men without principles, but. from the union of men and 'principles." Mr. Campbell's speech was witty, and heartily applauded. William J. Stone, Governor-elect of Missouri, voiced the sen timent of the West thns: The Western Democracy means to reap thb fruits or this great victory. They mean to have the wall which greed has built circling the Republic torn down, to re-establish the largest possible intercourse with the world, and to restore the merchant navy. Onr Western Democracy is in serious earnest. If any man there be in public life who now desires to hesitate, let him be damned. SECURE desirable boarders by a cent-a-word ad in THE DISPATCH. BOW IN A B5HVEE CLUB Over a Set of Congratulatory Resolutions to Be Sent to Clevel md. Denyeb, Dec. 10. .Special The Grey stone Club, the leading Democratic organi zation of the West, is going to send to President-elect Grover Cleveland a congrat ulatory aadress written on a scroll of Colo rado silver. It will be in a silver case of the most beautiful design. The address is signed by A. B. McKinley, President of the club, and Ellis B. Spencer, Secretary. The People's party faction of theDemoc racy, of which Hon. X M. Patterson is the leader, object to the Greystone Club con gratulating Mr. Cleveland on his success. They say that no partisanship is admitted into the club, and that this effort on the part of McKinley is a snub to Patterson, who ostensibly opposed the election of Mr. Cleveland. They say further, that it was not the gift of the club, but of a few friends of Mr. McKinley who are anxious for office. FBESHHEN FEEL LESS FTJHHY. New Haven Detectives Claim to Be' Able to Convict 15 or-20 of Them. New Haven, Conk., Dec. 10. The ex citement among the Yale undergraduates over the arrest of several of their number for indulging in last Saturday night's dis turbance was renewed this afternoon. Shortly after 3 o'clock, Detective Sergeant Cowles arrested Fred Wyrehauser, a mem ber of the Freshman class, whose home is Minneapolis. He was charged with breach of the peace, and released a- few minntes alter arrest under $150 bonds. Other arrests are expected. Detectives have been employed during the past week, gathering evidence, and it is said they have secured witnesses enough to convict 15 or 20 of the students.

Nine Searching Parties Fail to Find the Missing YoungLady AFTER LOOKING FOR MANY HOURS. Fears That She Has Committed Suicide, as It Is Learned SHE ONCE TRIED TO DBOWN BER8ELF HFZCML TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New Canaan, Conn, Dec. 10. Soon after dark this evening the last of the nine searching parties, who hare been scouring the country south, southeast and southwest of here, returned, and none of them re ported having found even a clew of the missing Miss Julia H. Hall, daughter of Banker Russell L. Hall, of this town. The search to-day was pursued in the directions only of Stamford, Darian, and along the Branchville road, because in formation that seemed almost positive came to the family last night that Miss Hall was seen within three hours of her disappear ance yesterday afternoon walking south on the Marine road, 'about two miles south of here. To-night that clew turns out to be of a very doubtful character, and there is absolutely nothing now to guide the search ers, who will start out again to-morrow at daylight. Soon after Miss Hall was found at New EocnelleJ after her Thanksgiving Day dis appearance, a Miss De Wolff, of Hartford, came to visit the Halls and remained until yesterday afternoon. Good Effects of Companionship. She had been an intimate schoolgirl .friend of Miss Hall at the Connecticut Normal School, and her companionship had a beneficent effect upon Miss Hall, raising her spirits to such a degree that the family thought all danger of a return of the mental depression from which Miss Hall had suffered had entirely passed. Within a few days Miss Hall had re sumed her old place 'in the evening family gatherings. Yesterday, however, she did seem depressed at the prospect of Miss De Wolff's departure, and this relapse was un fortunately aggravated by the undisguised curiosity expressed abont-her condition by two women who called and were seen by Miss Hall. When Miss De Wolff left the house Julia was lying on a lounge in the dining room, and did not go to - the door to say goodby. Mrs. Hall did, and then busied herself about some household duties. At 4:15 Miss De Wolff having left at 4 a neighbor, Mrs. Raymond, called. She was shown into the sitting room, adjoining the the dining room. The Last Seen of Julia Hall. Mrs. Hall stepped into the dining room and asked Julia if she would see Mrs. Ray mond. Julia said she preferred not to do so, and as Mrs. Hall returned to her guest she halt closed the door so that the lounge whereTulia lay would be hidden from Mrs. Raymond. That was the last her mother saw ot her. It is the last, so far as is posi tively known, that anyone saw of her. When Mrs. Raymond left, at about 4:30 o'clock, Mrs. Hall" went to the dining room, and missing her daughter, made a hurried, search of the house, and then went around the neighborhood with the news that Julia had again disappeared. One of the first places searched was the well jnst ontside the back door of Mr. Hall's house by which Julia left The search was made for a reason that is made public now for the first time. Three weeks before her first disappearance, Julia came into ner house with all her clothes saturated with water. She explained to her ' amazed mother that she had just tried to drown herself in the well. An Attempt to Brown Herself. The well bucket is drawn by a chain. Letting the bucket down to the water she had lowered herself by the chain and crouched in-tbe bottom of the well. There was only a foot of water there then, and she could not get her head under, althongh by crouching down she had brought the water up to her throat. Failing in her attempt to drown herself she had climbed up by the chain to the surface. This story was told by Rev. Mr. Bowers, who added that for a slight, delicate woman, incumbered with clothing heavy with water, to-clinib up a small chain out oi a deep well seems to him an almost snperhnman feat. This, connected with the facts regarding Miss Hall's previous 'disappearance, has created a general belief here that the un fortunate woman, manifestly afflicted with a suicidal mania, has provided some sure means of doing away with herself. Miss Hall is pretty, popular and 33 years old. Last spring, owing to ill health, she was obliged to give up a position she had long held in the borough postoffice and also that of librarian of the free reading room. She is a lady of culture and education, a prominent and active member of the Meth odist Church and the Epworth League, and a leader in the societv ot her native town. Music Boxes for Christmas.

Senator Teller Opposed to the Repeal of tho ' Sherman Xatr. Washington, Dec. 10. Senator Teller, one of the warmest champions of silver, is very decidedly opposed to the repeal of the Sherman silver law, and looks npon the bill introdnced by Mr. Hill as a menace to the white metal. "I am opposed to any in terference with tbe Sherman act," said Mr. Teller to-day, "for any repeal of that law means the further depreciation of silver. Of course the law .is not rfhat it ought to be, and we have always looked upon it as a temporary expedient, but it affords some relief. Until something better and more permanent is given us, the silver men would naturally be opposed to its repeal. The Hill bill, or any similar measure, wouiu ueprecime suver even lower than it now is, and increase the evil instead oi remedying it." . Mr. Teller thinks there will be no at tempt at silver legislation this session, cer tainlvnot until after the Brussels confer ence lias reached some conclusion. "If that conference," continued Mr. Teller, "does not do anything looking to reljef, then we must do it I am hopeful, however, that conference will accomplish something, although it seems probable that it will adjourn over until spring." Referring to the President's message, Mr. Teller said he could not understand what the President meant by saying we could meet the European demand for our gold by legislation. "We are the debtor nation," observed the Senator, "and cannot dictate terms, much less legislate to suit ourselves in the matter. We owe several hundred millions to Europe, and our securities are gilted-ged. When they come due and are dumped upon' us we have no choice but to pay them, and pay them in gold, too. Europe has two ways o'f getting our gold; the one is by securing the balance of trade and the other by demand ing the payment of our bonds and obliga tions as they fall due. If we have unfavor able legislation on the tariff that permits the unloading ot vast amounts of imports this balance of trade may' go to Europe. I sincerely trust that this will not be tt e case, but the incoming Democratic Congress has its own ideas about this matter, and they may revise the tariff so th'at we will find before us a condition we have not experi enced for years the balance of trade on the other side of the ledger, and the con sequential demand of 'Engiish tradesmen for gold in payment for commercial debts, largely over-balancing our exports." The'remedy for this condition which Mr. Teller thinks may, under certain condi tions, arise, he finds in the broader use of silver for monetary purposes. "If we could secure the nniversal increased use'of silver as money we could decrease the demand for gold," said Mr. Teller, "and this is wiiat we ought to have. An enlarged use of sil ver theoretically increases 'the volume of gold, and would make the demand for that metal very materially less than it now is." A POKES PLAYER'S EEVENGE. He Brings Suit for 823,000 for Being Ar rested While la a Game. St. Louis, Dec.. NX Special Louis A. McGinnis, lawyer, filed a suit to-day against Chief of Detectives William Des mond, Chief of Police Lawrence Harri gan, Patrick Reedy, George Muller, James Grady, Patrick Scullv Michael W. Kelly, John a Bruce, Patrick M Stead and James Dunn. In his petition he alleges that Stead is Sheriff and Dunn one ot his deputies, and that tbe'rest of the de fendants are members of the police force of tbe city. November 26 a warrant was issued from the Court of Criminal Correction for the arrest of Oscar Raymond and delivered to Sheriff Stead. Deputy Dunn, accompan ied by Kelly, Scully and Brnce, went to Raymond's and broke open doors and ar rested Lawyer McGinnis, who was at the time mentally estimating on the par value of three kings and a pair of fours. He was taken to jail and locked up from 5 o'clock p. M. November 26, until 8 o'olnck A. M. November 27, without being permitted to. see counsel or give bail., There was sioknesa in- his family at the,' time, and much Worry and uneasiness were caused by his absence, and he claims $26,000 damages for illegal arrest and imprison ment.

Washington, Dec. 10 The Post will say to-morrow: Ex-Secretary Blaine, who was thought to be on the niena, was reported worse last night The relapse from his more favorable condition of a few days ago was so gradual, and his attendants felt so confident that it was only a temporary set back, that no statement of his symptoms was given out Mr. Blaine has seen no callers for several days, and nobody but members of the house hold are admitted to the sick room.

A' FATAL SLIP-KNOT; Patrick- llannan Is Crashed by Lnm-- ber Falling on Him WHILE IN IN ELEVATOR SHAFT. Hii Stomach Forced ('at and His Intestines Protruded. ME IXJORED MAN CANNOT EEC0TER There was a frightful accident in the Maeee bnildin: yesterday, and Patrick Mannan will lose his life by it The building is not entirely completed and Architect Balph 'still has a force, of men working there. Yesterday some of his employes were pulling lumber up the elevator shaftl(nd Mannan was among the number. He was stationed in tbe cellar tyingarope around the boards. The material had been pulled up without accident all day until along about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time Mannan tied two boards to the rope and started' them on their upward journey. The lum. ber had reached the third floor when the knot loosened. The boards dropped straight down without the least bit of noise. Mannan was standing directly underneath them. He was struck on the left side, opening the abdominal cavity. Man nan's stomach was forced out by the blow and a couple of feet of his intestines. Two ribs were broken also, and one of them was run through the lung. Mannan was removed to the Homeo pathic Hospital as quickly as possible. He was suffering awfully. The accident is con sidered by the physicians there as a most remarkable one. It is very rare that the stomach is forced out by such an injury. When taken to the hospital the man was breathing through the hole in his side. Ho will die. Mannan lives on Mt Washington and is 40 years of age. There was a force of men Working in the building last night They were hois'ting lumber by the same means. About 8 o'clock the knot slipped again, dropping several boards to the basement, but no one was hurt A GUARANTEE CAMPAIGN FUHD. Eepubllcan Leaders to Formulate' a Flan for Permanent Work.
