THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK Preparations lor u Mass .Meeting in Carnegie llall"Chcering News Come from the South. Major Xv Kinley's Letter of Acceptance Is Finished. New York, Aug. 20. The big Repub lican muss meeting to be held in Car negie Music hall, at which ex-President Harrison will be the chief orator Is now attracting the attention of Chairman Mark Hanuu and the mem bers of the Republican national com mittee. They expect good results to fol low from the published utterances of the ex-president. .Mr. Manna said to day that he expected to remain and at tond the meeting. His opinion Is that it will be a great event, and produce a salutary ettect similar to the Bourke Coekran meet ing at Madison Square Harden. The speech that will be delivered by Mr. Harrison will be sent broadcast throughout the country ami especially to the state of Indiana, where there are about 7.000 floating voters. The people In Indiana have great faith .In the soundness of Mr. Harrison's views and they remember the prosperity they en joyed during his administration. Cnauncey Depew's speech as presiding officer will be short, but full of .political meat. Mr. Ilanna arrived at headquarters at 10 o'clock, and when questioned about the solid youth he said he hoped to carry several stutes. He declined to go into particulars. Mr. N. B. Scott and Senator S. li. Klklns, who are the big Republicans In West Virginia, how- ever. are sanguine that their stale will go Republican. They carried it last year and Mr. Klklns was elected sen ator. The senator does not belong to the pessimistic school, and he has more enthusiusm than uny Southern Republican. Ills .enthusiasm and en ergy elected him to the senate. When ever he sees Mr. ilanna he never con cedes that the Denim-rats can carry that state, tie knows whut he Is talk ing about, because he has canvassed for several years In the state, and knows even the mountain trails CHEERINC. WORDS FROM SOl'TH. Maryland Is also another state that is doubtful and leaning toward Repub llcuiilsni. Uenerul Felix Agnus and the present Republican governor of the state, Mr. Lowndes, both think that the McKInlcy ticket will huve a ma jority of the votes in this once strong Democratic stale. As to Kentucky, it is also considered debatable ground, and the national committee will muke an effort to assist the Republicans there in their tight. General T. Michener of Indiana, Con gressman R. W. Taylor of Ohio, and W. D. Babcock. chairman of the Re publican uutUuial congressional com mittee, called on Mr. Hunna today at headquarters. F.x-Cohgressinun Ben jamin Butterworth, the great Quaker orator of Ohio, was also a. visitor. They all lnuke encouraging reports without the usuul exaggerated general ities that are given out for publica tion. Canton, O., Aug. 20. Major McKlnley worked on the last proof sheet on the letter of acceptance most of the day. The letter will contain several thousand words and will be Very explicit on the money question, but the tariff will not In any way be neglected. Citizens of Kllwood and New Castle, Pn., are to call tpon Major McKlnley Saturday. This will he the largest del egation that has visited Canton, a de spatch received tonight says there will be between 1,'iUO and 1,800 in the party. A delegation of a thousand farmers from Western Pennsylvania and Mary land is announced for the middle of September. Major McKlnley had a talk this af ternoon with T. J. Morgan, who was commissioner of Indian affairs under the Harrison administration. Mr. Mor gan is traveling a good deul and asserts that the Republican prospects are Im proving. The usual number of telegrams from various sections of the country, an nouncing the formation of McKlnley clubs were received today. POLITICS DESTROY A FIRM. Don Dickinson Forsaken by His I, aw Partners. Detroit. Mich., Aug. 20. The law firm of Dickinson, Thurber and Stevenson, which is comprised of Hon, Don M. Dickinson, Henry T. Thurber, private secretary of President Cleveland and Elliott O. Stevenson, late chairman of the Democratic state central committee, has disolved on account of political dif ferences, which liu-ve arisen between Alesrs. Dickinson and Stevenson since the Chicago convention. Thurber will remain with Dickinson. , In the Chicago convention Mr. Ste venson posed as the mouthpiece of Mr. Dickinson, who represented the admin istration. Stevenson wan chairman of the Michigan delegation and also chair man of the state central committee. He declared he would resign from the latter position, not on account of the platform, but because of the treatment of the Michigan delegation In the con vention. Mr. Stevenson did resign, but his resignation was not accepted, which was considered merely a personal vic tory rather than one for gold or the administration. Later Mr. Stevenson resigned again and made way for Mr. Baker, a rabid silver advocate, retain ing a place on the committee, however. Mr. Stevenson has been taking an act ive part in the campaign in the inter est of Bryan and Bewail. This action on the part of Stevenson so incensed Mr. Dickinson that the re lations between the members of the firm became greatly strained. Ar ticles of dissolution of the dim were signed Saturday. PLATT-MILLER FIGHT. Tne Factions Hold Separate Conven tion in Herkimer. n Herkimer, N. T.. Aug. 20. The Piatt and Miller factions of the Republican party held separate conventions here today and each, nominated a candidate for congress from the Twenty-fifth dis trict. The Piatt convention nominat ed John S. Sherman and the Millerltes Seth G. Heacock. Both conventions were characterized by vociferous cheering and applause on the paft of the supporters on each side. There will probably now be a smug gle before the courts for recognition and the contest will be carried on with bitterness till election day. FISHERMEN'S GHASTLY KIND. Kodyofan I uknowu .Man in the Sus quehanna Kiver. Wilkes-Barre. Aug. 20. A- party of fishermen found the body of an un known man In the Susquehanna river near this city this afternoon. In the man's pockets were found a prayer book in which the name of John Smith, born in New Kuglund, April 1", 1S71, was recorded. He had red hair and his face was shaved smooth. From what can be learned It Is thought he came from Ellzabethport, N. J. KENTUCKY G0LD MEN. Tbey Hold a Convention at Louisville. Colonel Breckenridge One ot the . Delegates to Indianapolis. Louisville. Ky.. Aug. 20. The sound money Democratic convention held In Music Hall this afternoon was attended by really ever" leading Democrat in the state. Kx-I.leutenant Uovernor lames It. Hindmnn was elected tempor ary chairman and then there was a loud demand for ex-Congresmnn W. C. P. Breckinridge, who sat on the stage with his wile. Tlie silver totigued ora tor came forward and addressed the convention at considerable length. He began by saying that he could not stand the Chicago platform nor support the nominee. He felt worse when he was driven inlo the Confederate army, to maintain his convictions than he did now when he was driven Into op position to the regular nominees of his party. Bryan, Mr. Breckinridge said, was an undeveloped and emotional young fel low. He thought liryun believed ill his platform and would try to make that the law of the land. By the help of (iod he should not have the opportunity. Speaking for himself alone, he believed the election of Bryan would be the greatest calamity that could happen. The duty of the Democratic party was to defeat Bryan. Just as Mr. Breckinridge was bring ing his speech to u close, some one in the gallery yelled 'Hurrah for Bryan." The police escorted the fellow through the door. Colonel Breckinridge closed with a Idea for money good the world over and tariff for revenue only. After the transaction of minor busi ness, the convention adjoin net! at 4.15 to 5.1ft. when the convention reas sembled and took action on the differ ent committees, arid again took u re cess until S o'clock. When the conven tion reassembled at 7.40 A. J. Carroll, of Louisville; ex-flovernor Buckner. vV. C. P. Breckinridge, of Lexington, and R. C. Browning were chosen as dele gates at large to Indianapolis. The roll call showed that 114 out of the lis coun ties were present in the convention. R. H. Taylor, of peducah and Judge J. Vuincy Ward, of Paris, were named as electors at large. On motion of Colonel Breckinridge the delegates to Indianapolis were Instruct ed to vote for ex-overnor Simon Boli var Buckner for vice president, as long us they deemed it advisable. The report of the committee on resolu tions was adopted unanimously. Af ter endorsing the teachings of Jeffer son. Jackson, Benton, Tilden and Cleve land, the report demands a currency measured by the existing gold standard, which shall consist of gold with a bank currency well secured. The Chicago convention is condemned for its refusal to endorse the adminis tration of President Cleveland. The convention adjourned at U o'clock. forIStallism. Suggestions of General Qrosvenor as to the Best Plan of Fulfilling Repub lican Party Pledges. Cincinnati. Aug. 20. Th Cincinnati Post publishes today special letters from Senators Sherman, Lodge. Thurs ton, General C. H. Grosvenor, Con gressman Burtholdt and others, as to how the Republicans will fulfill their party pledges to promote international bimetallism, Mr. Sherman writes: "I do not think It advisable to prophesy for the future, based upon contingencies that I do not know will hapiien." Mr. Lodge advo cates a compact through the regular forms of diplomatic negotiation. Mr. Thurston wants a monetary conference convened. General Grosvenor proposes that the president himself upon the very thresh hold of his administration, should, in diplomatic, but most earnest language, suggest to the great nations of the earth the propriety of such an adjust ment to the relative valines between gold and silver as money, and that congress should pass an act authoriz ing the president to appoint a commis sion to draft and submit to the great tinanclal nations a plan for a bimetal lic agreement and call upon these na tions to respond by the appointment of like commieisons.

VERITABLE MESSENGER OF PEACE The Kuglih JurUt Wives an F.urue.t Appeal lor Arbitration in the Mettle meat of International Disputes. The Warmest I'eeliug Should Al ways F.iist Between -. F.uglisb Speaking Nations. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 20. The feature of today's session of the American Bur association was the address of Lord Russell, of Killowen. the lord chief Jus tice of England. As Lord Russell step ped forward the vast audience broke into unrestrained applause, which con tinued fully a minute. Throughout the delivery of his paper, which was more of an address than a forensic effort, the closest attention was given by the nu dlence. When Lord Russell concluded an In formal recess was taken, during which all that could possibly do so crowded to the platform und clasped his hand. The thanks of the convention was presented to him for his luminous and eloquent address. In touching upon the subject of ar bitration Lord Kussel said: Kxperlence has shown that, over a large area. International differences may honorably, practically and use fully be dealt with by peaceful arbit rament. There have been since 1K15 some sixty Instances of effective Inter national arbitration. To thirty-two of these the I'nlted Slates have been a party and Great Britain to some twen ty of them. There ale many Instances aiso of the Introduction of arbitration clauses In to treaties. Here again the I'nlted States appear in the van. Amongst the lirst of such treaties If not the very lirst is the Cuudaloupe-Hldalgo treaty of IMS between the 1'nited States and Mexico. Since that (late many oilier countries have followed tills examule. In the year 1ST:! Signor Mandril recommended that, In ull treat ies to which lialv was a party, such a clause should be Introduced. Since the Treaty ot Washington such clauses have been constantly .Inserted In com mercial, postal and consular conven tions. They are to be found also In the delimitation treaties of Portugal and Great Britain and with the Congo Free state made in lsiil. In lx:r. the Belgian senate. In a single day. approved of four treaties with similar clauses, namely, treutles concluded with Den mark, Greece, Norway am! Sweden. APPLICATION' OF ARBITRATION'. It Is hardly too much to say that arbitration may iilly be applied In the case of by fur the largest number of questions which lend to international differences. Broadly slated, wherever the right In dispute will be determined by the ascertainment of the true facts of the case: and where, the facts being ascertained, the rights depend on the application of the proper principles of lute; national law to the given facts in such enses. the matter is one which ought to be arbitrated. So long as war remains the sole court wherein to try International quarrels, the risks of failure are so tremendous, and, the mere rumor of war so paralys es comnien lal and industrial life, that pretensions wholly unfounded will rarely.be advanced by uny nation, and, the strenuous efforts of statesmen, whether immediately concerned or not, will be directed to prevent war.' But If there be a standing court of nutlons. to which nnv power may resort, with little cost and no risk, the temptation may be strong to put forward preten tious and unfounded claims, in support of which there may readily be found, in most countries, (can we except even Great Britain and the I'nlted States?) busybody Jingoes only too ready to air their spurious and Inllammutory pa triotism. In dealing with the subject of arbi tration 1 have thought It right to sound a note of caution, but It would, Indeed, be a reproach to our nineteen centuries of Christian civilisation. If there were now no better method for settling In ternational differences, than the cruel und debasing methods of war. May we not hope that the people of these states and the people of Mother land kindred peoples may, in this matter, set un example, of lusting influence, to the world'.' TRl'FJ CIVILIZATION. We boast of our advance and often look buck witli pitying contempt on the ways and manners of generations gone by. Are we ourselves without re proach? Has our civilization borne the true marks? Must it not be said, as has been said of religion itself, that countless crimes have been committed In Its name? Probably it was Inevit able that lhe weaker races should, In the end, succumb, but have we always treated them with consideration and with Justice? Hud not civilization ton often been presented to them ut the point of bayonet and the Bible by the hand of the filibuster? Ami apart from races we deem barbarous, is not the pasison for dominion and wealth and power accountable for the worst chap ters of cruelty and opnresslon written In the World's history? Few peoples perhaps none are free from this re proach. What Indeed Is true civiliza tion? By its fruit you shall know It. It Is not dominion, wealth, material luxury: nay, not even a great litera ture and education wide spread good though these things be. Civilization is not a veneer: it must penetrate to the very heart and core of societies of men. Its true signs are thought for the poor and suffering, chivalrous regard and respect for woman, the frank rec ognition of human brotherhood, irre spective of race or color or nation or religion, the love of ordered freedom, abhorrence of what is mean and cruel and vile, ceaseless devotion to the claims of Justice. Civilization In that, its true. Its highest sense, must make for peace. We have solid grounds for faith In the future. Government is be coming more and more, but in no nar row class sense, government of the people by the people and for the people. Populations are no longer moved and manoeuvred as the arbitrary will or restless ambition or caprice of kings or potentates may dictate. And although democracy Is subject to violent gusts of pasison and prejudice, they are gusts only. The abiding sentiment of the masses is for peace for peace to live industrious lives and to be at rest with nil mankind. With the prophet of old they feel though the feeling may find no articulate utterance "how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace." Mr. President. I began by speaking of the two great divisions American and British of that English speaking world which you and I represent today. and with one more reference to them I end. Who can doubt the Influence they possess for ensuring the healthy pro gress and the peace of mankind? But if this influence is to be fully felt, they must work together in cordial friend ship, each people in its own sphere of action. If they have great power, they have ulso great responsibility. No cause they espouse can fail: no cause they oppose can triumph. The future is. in large part, theirs. They have the making of history in the times that are to come. The greatest calamity that could befall would be strife which should divide them. Let us pray that this shall never be. Let us pray that they, always self respecting, each in honor upholding Its own flag, safeguarding Us own her itage of right and respecting the rights of others, each In its own way fulfill ing its high national destiny, shall yet work In harmony for the progress and the peace of the world.

HIS DOWNFALL IS PREDICTED The New York Statesman Hemmed in by Ditliciilties He Cannot Overcome. Would Like to Hedge ou the Cur. rency QucstiouA Cumpaigu on Fnith. New York, Aug. 20. At the headquar ters of the silverites at the Bartholdi hotel they have little hope that Senu tor Gorman will convert Senator David B. Hill to the Popocratlc faith. Sena tor Gorman Is spending his vacation at Saratoga, which Is within an hour's ride by train from Albany, where Sen ator Hill lives. The senator has left Normandle-by-the-Sea, and is conven iently near Mr. Gorman ut Wolfert's Ri iost. Four yelirs ngo Senator Hill was a snapper. His partisans held early In February a so-called "snap convention" at Albany, which selected seventy-two delegates to the Chicago convention to nominute Hill for president. Then he was live months ahead or time, now he is a couple of months behind time, ac cording to the Bryanltes. He Is con demned on one side for not taking de cisive action for sound currency, and on the other hand he Is accused of back sliding anil cowardice for not taking a bold stand In behalf of Bryan and free silver. His position Is a most unpleas ant one in either case, and his enemies enjoy his predicament. They can see the hnndwriting ou the wall which fore tells the passing of Hill from the politi cal arena as a leader of men. They think that Mr. Hill will be a living Illus tration of the old axiom that "he who hesitates Is lost." But Mr. 11111 wavered, is wavering and Is likely to keep on wobbling in this enmpaign. Ho thinks it Is cruel to press the Issue. Mr. Bryan ought to he satis fied with nn endorsement without men tioning the platform. For Is not an In dorsement of a candidate paramount to the acceptance of the platform upon whic h he stands? WANTS TO HKDGE. It Is cruel and humiliating to make a man declare himself when he wants to hedge. Here, a grave and dignified. United Staes senator is asked to become a lightning-change artist of the comic stage variety, who conies out before the public costumed in the rpleridor and glory of gold In one minute, and hab ited In the garb of shiny sliver the next. These pesky politicians have long memories, and they draw the deadly parallel on a poor fellow at the most unexpected times. In a case of this kind there Is only one thing for a man to do, and that Is to wait, see and hope. And Senator Hill Is industriously en guged In dedng this. Senator Gorman and his colleagues will undoubtedly have a very pleasant chat, and the one will go back to the sad ea waves by Normandle and the other will take to the waters of Saratoga. Then they will tell an expectant public: "Walt until the convention meets. We have nothing to say." If you want an Illustration of what sublime faitli Is, go to the Bartholdi headquarter. Their treasury is empty there, and you think that an empty pocket would discourage the average man. But not so Mr. "Sinjitn." He says money is no object In this campaign. When the free silver millennium comes the people will have So much money that they don't want any now. They are going to vote for Bryan and live on expectations meanwhile. But Mr. Sinjun does not explain how expecta tion is going to buy a hungry mun a meal. The faith cure Is a new Idea in politics. FARMERS TURN WHITE CAPS.
