S m alley, the lxndon comes" pondent of the New York Tribune, sum marize the English view of our Presi dential campaign very clearly w hen he nays: "I have not met a single English man who does not wish for Mr. Cleve land's election, not one w ho doea not take it for granted, and not one w ho doea not believe that English trade and man ufacturers will benetit by his triumph." Twenty-five years ago it would have been equally dllicult to meet an English man at home who did not believe and hope and pray that the war for the pres ervation of our I'nion would be failure. But the rebellion was put down and Mr. Cleveland w ill lie defeated in spite of British opinion. The announcement of the sudden death of General Sheridan, w hich occur red Sunday evening, was received with great sorrow and surprise all over this country. Although the disease from w hich he was suffering w as of such a na ture that death might come at any time, the recent bulletins issued from his bed side were of so encouraging character that hopes of his ultimate recovery w ere everywhere entertained, and thus the sorrow at the receipt of the new was in tensified. In his death the country knes another of the three great figures of oar civil w sr. He was one of the greatest soldiers of modern times, and Lis fame will be as enduring as the history of the period in which he lived. Et-iioVEKVIB PuRTCk's deeisMill not to enter llm lb as a candidate for the nomination for Governor of Indiana seems to be irrevocable. His sjeech on Saturday night must settle the matter fi nally. In view of his previous declara tions be believe that he cannot, as an honorable man, yield to the prepare that is being put upon him. There is no lack of men to choose a candidate from, and a ticket can easily be named that will help take Indiana out of the list of doubtful States this year. Imvu.bation from Europe is on the in crease, notwithstanding the discouraging pictures of our tariff-ridden country that free trader have been draw ing for years past. The arrivals during the year end ing June SOth were 539.81H; an increase of 56,702 over those of the preceding year. Nearly half of these 243.CS2 left homes in free trade England, Ireland, Norway and Sweeden, to endure the bur dens cast on the workinguen of this country by a protective tariff. A large number came w ith means furnished by relatives in this tariff-taxed country, and many of them, while cruhed by tariff robbery here, w ill send money to pay the rents and maintain the existence of oth er relatives who are still enjoying the blessings of free trade. The Mills bill is purely sectional. The interests attacked by it are Northern in terests, and the interests protected are Southern. The interests that are in dan ger of destruction lie north of Mason and Dixon's line. This is a fact that w ill not be overlooked in this campaign. There is not alone, therefore, in this fight on the part of the Smth for free trade a de sire to enforce a mistaken principle, but there is also the intention if jNjscible to injure the section of the country through w hose efforts the integrity of the coun try was ireserved. It is a fight for ven geance. In proof of this Honry Watter son, a year or more r.go, promised the Southern laborers that they would be profited by free trade or low er duties in that the difference of w ages would close the Northern furnaces and light instead the furnace fires of the Smth. And again, sugar, that is a Southern product, is protected, while wool, a Northern in dustry, is made free. These facts ought not to lie lost sight of. They are the key to the situation. They ought also to lie finger-boards indicating to the Northern voter w hat he should do. The Harrisburg Tr-i-yraph says : The attention of the whole country is just now directed to the investigation of for eign pauper immigration, of the impor tation of the cheap latior of Euro;e to compete with American labor, and Iem ocrat and Republican alike condemn it, and declare that it should cease. Tlie objections of Republicans seem to us to lie consistent with their principles. But w hy should Democrats object ? Why should Democrats oppose the coi!ieti tion of the cheap labor of Euroiie ? They are now advocating a policy that means more even than this, if it means any thing. They are advocating a reduction of the duties on some things and tlie making free of duty other thing, and thus entering the American laborer and workinginan into competition with the foreign workman and laborer. Is this not so? And is the imortition of for eign laborers any worse, or even as bad, as the importation of the product of cheap foreign labor? If a thousand em igrants are landed in New York, is that as bad to our workmen as the shipment to this country of the product of a thou sand laborers produced in some pauper mill on the other side of the water ? We do not think so. And yet this is what the IieiiKK-ratic party, and Mr. Mills, mean when they declare in favor of pro ducing an article at the lowest possible cost. " Americans do not want the foreign em igrants and neither do they want the product of the cheap mills of Euro). But free trade is worse even thau free emigration. Talks on the Tariff. There is a good tariff talk in Mr. Charles E. Buell's letter in the New Haven ratlaii nm. It shows how the Southern free traders absolutely give their own case away w hen their own iiidiLtries are concerned : " Henry tlay said., fifty years ;;o : ' Ia-I me fix the value of (lie foreign niercliaiMliae and 1 do not care what your duty i-.' " During the ?riod Ironi 1M" lo Isin the South managed to keep the duty on foreign rice at JU lT cent, ad valorem, w lucli means a duly of 3 icr cent, on a price lixed by the producer. " This would lie satisfying protection to any Northern manufacturer, but the Sr.it h had still an additional protection ly the op eration of a law of naluae that i immutable. They bad slave lalior, which is a po-itive prohibition to foreign imports, and it takes tlie place of a protective tariff in every free trade country, for only cheap labor can cotu ete with cheap lalur on cijtiat terms and with ejual chance fur jnlits ill tlie markets of the world without the aid of legMative protection. This show the ehsract-r of latior tliat is best adapted to free trade. "This year's reiiort of tlie Rice Association Snrnnnah ii this a rice trust T) gives points of interest and shows liow carefully tlie ground was looked over by So.itheru protec tionists before attempting to foroe reduction of tariff and free traile upon evtry Northern industry. "The rejiort snyi that 'the per diem of slave labor did not much, if at all, ei.-eeJ twenty cents." Again it say: Since the cmanciation of slaves the ;ot of labor in tlie rice district ranges from forty to sixty cents for field labor and t f.r skilled la'rur per day. So that at no time since V couid rice have been cultivated a a staple product without the protection afforded ly import duties onon tlie foreign grain.' "This is orthodox protection and is com mendable. Why? The l'ii:ted States Minis ter at I'ekin in his report gives the reason. He says: 'Coming now to the field hand whom tlie farmer hires, the average wages for able bodied meu is iVl per annum, with food rice, straw Slid shoes.- Here is the terror to the Southern rice gardener.. He know that a deadly law will optrate ag-.iinst him if legal protection is not given to his iet product. He shows some of the same instincts of self preservation of his Northern brother when put face to foe with a rice producer w ho can pet labor at four cents a day, and this too. in presence of a fact which is affirmed by cxeriein that s'ave labor in tlie SiHith, when t lie sytem was at the zenith of its glory, 'exceeded taenty cents per diem." " The report goes on: 'In Kurnel tlie high est permanent wages are fifty cents a month. On the basis of twenty six working days in a month here is a rate of scarcely two cents a day for rice producing. - But this is not all. This reirt recites that, 'in Uorat men employed by the year get eighty pounds of rice a mouth and forty-five cents to $3 ier annum.' "The rejiort concludes: The contrast in this element of cost should render unneces sary any further comment than that without tlie intervention of the existing import tax on Asiatic rice competition would seem im possible.' " This is true, and no fair minded person In tlie North would object to tlie protection which this Southern industry asked for. and because it was Southern, obtained it." PRESS COMMENTS.

It may be nec essary to lock the back door. Milwaukee .Senin.- Mr. Cleveland's dis position is something like that of the little girl who. with her hands and mouth full of candy, was crying bitterly. When asked what was the matter, she wailed: "This candy is making me sick and nobody won't make me stop eating it ?" Boston Trwicr : The (aople recognize s true gentleman intuitively and they put their estimate upon him. General Harrison is growing steadily in tlie confidence and admi ration of the American people, and this is partly due to bis very striking and appropri ate speeches tn reply to congratulations and visitations. Springfield (Miss.) Umok : The Rev. Dr. John A. Brooks, tlie Prohibition candidate Air the Vice Prletiry, talks in this allur ing style : I have been a reliei, a slaveholder, and a fire-eating Ieniocrat, but thank God I have never been a Republican, and I have not that sin to answer ftr. This is a little rough on Ceneral Fisk. the head of Dr. Brooks' ticket, who if guilty of the uiitiardonable sin of having once been a Keimhlicar,. New York Vail W Espra : The tremen dous Republican demonstrations that will greet and honor Mr. Blaine will not be what our Ieniocratic friends wish they might be, a signal that the I -arty is waiting for him to breathe into it the breath of life, hut a proof that the iwrty is already so united and har monious and full of fWht and faith, it de dcliglits in the anticiieitioii of tlie prmid welcome it will give to its old and honored leader. .Vne York Trihnne : The conn try is com paratively new, true. It was newer in when IVmocratic free trade had its latest test. a country gets old. according to free trade theories, wages fall. As this coun try gets old the fact is that wages rise ; they are per cent, higher, to say the least, than tiny were when the Iemocratic policy ceas ed to govern. The advance has been in spite of the most marvelous migration of labor everknownin human history. Over 8.9it.M workers have come to th;s country, and yet wares have risen ; something like half of them have come from Great Britain, and yet waires there have risen comparatively not at ail. Buffalo .Vor: Democrats can no longer close their eye to the fa-t that a tidal wave has set in against the free trade platform an a candidates that is growing larger instead of smaller as election draws nearer. Right here in Krie County there w ill be a s'ltiicteot change to overcome Cleveland's Uate major ity of four ytars ago. and it is not unlikely that in projmrtion to their tjp other coun ties will show a still greater break. As an offset to these hundreds of prominent lVmo crats who have openly declared for Cleveland hat have the Itanucracy to offer? Well, there is ex-Mayor Seth !.' an 1 his brother of Brooklyn and two or three of their chums and these are all the conversions that have been reorted. In truth, the outlook for the party is a very misty one. Chicago 7ier Orr.m : The Knglish press continue to maul away at tieneral Harrison and the Republican party and applaud i ro ver Cleveland. The London .Wan makes the fallowing poiul: " The man whom the Ite publicans hare chosen will not win. His name has been received with laughter. Mr. Cleveland's election is practically certain. He has helped to purify the civil service, has dignitied the foreign poiicy, and has, above all, made himself the proiogator of free trade principles." People had not observed out Wot that Doniocrats are convulsed with "laughter." Then comes the Birmingham I'uft and says " we are to some extent direct ly concerned in the result of the contest. Mr. Cleveland is the standard bearer of free tra'lc." England is "directly concerned in the result," but it so happens that American la'oorers and business men ate also. Atlanta Cviutilnlinn : The hysterians went into convulsions when it was proposed to invite Major McKiniey to the Chautauqua, and by the time they had begun to arrange their disordered garments and straighten out their disheveled bangs they heard a rumor to the effect that Brother Blaine had been invited. At this the hysterians. who l.ave taken up the alisurd idea that they consti tute the Iicniocratic party and are the custo dians of its principles, went off into another series of convulsions and tried to shake the atmospliere with their horrified cries. If the directors of thcCoatitaurpia feel that it is desirable to extend an invitation to Mr. Blaine or lo any other American citizen, they will not take the trouble to consult with the hysterians about it. At tlie same time, there is no reason why the hysterians should cut up any unnecessary capers. The weather is hot and convulsions and comii tion fits are wearing the system. It will be time enough for the contortionists to throw themselves out of joint at the ankles and knees when tiny discover that Mr. Blaine lias Ixvn invited to the (liautaiK)iia and has accejiteil.

General Sheri dan died to-night at 20 minutes past 10 o'clock of heart failure. fte death was unexpected, a General Sheridan had been constantly improving and strong hopes of his final recovery w ere en tertained. He had been resting easily and expressed himself as feeling much better in tlie evening. This was nothing to indicate a fatal termination, and Co apprehensions were felt. When the final catastrophe came there were but two or three persons in the room. There came a stulden paroxysm of pain, the heart ceased beating, and all was over in a few minutes. Dr. McKee was the. only physiciaiu in atlendauceC'anJ it was impossible for him to do anything. OEK. SHEEIDIS'i STCCESSOB. 'Washimgto, Aug. S. With the death of General Sheridan, the rank of Lieutenant General lapses. The command of the army of the Cited Stales falls to the ranking Major General. There are now three Major Gener als, Schofield, Howard and Crook, Gen. Sehofield t being the ranking or senior ap pointment. If Congress sliould create the position of Lieutenant General, the appoint ment thereto would be made by the Presi dent from the list of Major Generals. Tlie illness which ended the lifeof tieneral Sheridan began in May of this year, and in a few days became alarming. His main ail ment was what is technically known so val vular heart disease. As a result of this he was also affected dropsically. From the beginning of his illness its dan gerous cliaracter was recognized, and, al though the physicians in attenance never admitted that they rxjiected death at an early date, they held out no hopes that he would ever recover sufficiently to arstin as sume command of the Army of the I'nited States. Tlie tieneral also recognized his critical condition, and before the end of May made his will and gave himself up to the last battle iu which he was to engage. During the last days of May and all through tlie month of June he was subject to frequent attacks of heart failure. During all this time his death was expected almost hourly and bulletins were issued by his physicians at short intervals. On several occasions he was so near it seemed iniiossibIe for him to rally, and once, it is stated on good author ity he actually ceased to breath fir some mo ments and was only restored to life by the perserverance and skill of his attendants. After the middle of June the bulletins issued by the physicians became more en couraging. The attacks of heart failure were less frequent, and the tieut seemed to gain ill strength and spirits. While resigned to his fate, the General's indomitable will was exercised to the fullest extcr.t, and this, as much as any other circumstance, was respon sible ior the improvement. A few weeks ago it was decided to remove funeral Sheridan from Washington to a cottage he had built at Nommitt, Mass-. The removal was effected without apparent in jury to him, and from the dtte of his arrival at his cottage to last Saturday night the re ports of bis condition were uniformly en couraging. Tlie latest bulletin was iarticu larly ho)'fuI. Dr. Pepjier. who visited the tieneral on Saturday, issued 'his bulletin : "Thereisnodoulitas lollic decided though gradual improvement of (ien. Sheridan s condition. He has gained flesh, showing improved assimilation of food. His breath ing is easier, ami the condition of the lungs is eminently satisfactory. The action of the heart is stronger and more regular, and there is a progessive deiTease in the frequency ami violence of congestive symptoms. His ner vous force is, of course, enfeebled, but yet there is in this respect also a grateful im provement. I' (ion the whole his condition and prospects are as encouraging as could possibly be hoped for under the circumstances and if no untoward complications ar'ce a gradual return to better health may be count ed upon." DEVTH's St tlllEX SI MMONS. Noxoi itt. Mass., August 5. fien. Sheri dan's death occurred at 10;2rt this evening. Previous to the sudden appearance of heart failure, at about :SI, there had licen no pre monition to-day of any unfavorable change in his condition. The weather has beeti warmer than usual and the General w as at times a little restless, but seemed generally bright and cheerful to-day. His voice was strong: he look a full supply of nourish ment. slej occasionally, as usual, and the doctors and his family were in hopeful spir its. At 7 o'clock Mrs. Sheridan and the doc tors went to the hotel for supper, and soon after their return the usual preparations for the night were made. At about t.3 Colonel Sheridan said "Good night" to his brother and went to the hotel, there having l-eu through the day no sign whatever of any in favorable change in his condition. At !. symptoms of bean failure sudden ly apeared and Drs. O'Reilly and Matthews, who were with him at the time, immediate ly applied the remedies which had proved successful in all similar previous attacks, but this time they were without effect, and despite all that could be done the tieneral gradually sank into a condition of complete unconsciousness, and at 10:20 he breaiht-J his last. Mrs. Sheridan, the Sisters I'tluin and Justinian, and the laithful body serv ant, Klein, were also at his bedside through out his dying hour. No arrangements hxs yet been determined uKjn iu regard to the time or place of the General's burial. The following official bulletin was issued at midnight : tieneral Sheridan died at 10:20 this even ing. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. The remote cause was disease of the mitral and aortic valves, the existenc e of which was known to his physicians, to himself and lo his family in November of last year. Tiie complimtiotis which have occurred have been nervoasexhaustion, pul monary insarctions. pneumonia, pulmonary oegeria. anasaca and hemorrhages. The last day of his life was somewhat restless, but not more so than he has been several times since his arrival at Xontpiitt. At about 0:.'!0 symptoms of heart failure suddenly apiiear ed. The remedies which had hit herto been successful were vigorons!yap;!ied. but prov ed ineflectual. and he sank mpidly, dying painlessly at the hour named. Roeeet M. O Kkii.lv. Surgeon, 1". S. A. Wasuisotos Matthews, Assistant Surgeon, V. S. A. LITTLE I-UIL's BBI'iBD. On February 9, l$'i3, the thanks of Con gress were tendered to a man for the gallan try, military skill and courage displayed in a series of victories achieved by his army in the valley of the Shenandoah, especially at Cellar run. This man was Philip Henry Sheridan, at the time of his death iu com mand of tlie Coiled States Army. He was born in Somerset. Perry county, , in ls.U, and was admitted to the military academy in ls4S where he graduated in Is.-.;. Entering tlie I'nited States artillery he serv ed in Texas and Oregon until IVs:, when he sailed for San Francisco, in command of an escort to a surveying expedition sent out by the Federal Government. From that time until lwU he commanded a hotly of tr.mris among the Indian tribes, when be Was pro moted to the rank of Captain. Tpon tlie breaking out of the Civil War he was appointed Quartermaster of the West ern dejrtment and Colonel of the Second Michigan Volunteer Cavalry. At Itoone ville, in July, lsiii, be was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers and look command of tlie Third division of the Army of the Ohio, distinguishing himself by his defense at Iauisviilc. Sberiilan won great distiction on the batiks of the Stone river Deoemlier 30, at which time he was pro moted to the rank of Major Genera! of Vol unteers. He was appointed in April, istt. to the command of the cavalry corps of the Army of the Patomac. In September, ls4, he was appointed Brigadier General and in November of the same year Major tieneral of the I'nited Slates Army. He was in com mand of the various military divisions of the army from June 3, 1S751, until SeiMember 2. lSio. On March 4, he was appoint ed Lieutenant General of tlie I'nited States Army, aud the same month took the co tu rn in. 1 of the military division of tlie Mis souri. He was in command of the Western divi sion, with headquarters at Chicago, until 170, and commanded the forces which were sent to quell the Lonsiana difficulties. The cavalry branch of the Federal tiros under his able direction acquired an efficiency aud gained a reputation such as it liad never borne before. General Sheridan succeeded General Shernranin command of the army and during his illness was promoted to the full rank of General. Perhaps no soldier in the country was equally popular with "Utile PhiL" The tieneral married somewhat late in life. He was a devoted husband and father. . His lit tle girls and he compauioiiated together a good deal in tlie streets of WasliitrgtoB. Noscttt, Miss,, Ang. . It Was this morning substantially arranged that General Sheridan' remains will be transported to Washington in a special ear, to leave New Bedford Wednesday, and that the funeral service will be held in St. Matthew' as soon as possible thereafter. Thursday or Friday. General Sheridan lias repeatedly expressed a strong dislike of display at funerals, and in acconlance with his wishes and those of Mrs. Sheridan, the ceremonies in Washington are to be as simple as possible. The funeral, however will of course be a military one. The interment will be made at the grounds of the Soldier's home in Washington, if the assurance can be obtained tliat his wife and children may be given a resting place beside him. Messages of condolence to Mrs. Sheridan are arriving at Nonquitt from all parts of the country. They are forwanled by tele phone from New Bedford, the nearest tele graph station. When the doctors declared General Sberi ilan dead, his faithful wife could not believe it. She took him by the shoulder and im plored him to recognize her, but in vain, and as tiie cruel truth fonul itself upon her, the devoted wife was overwhelmed with grief. I'listoirs the children slept ignorant of their father's death. They had bade him good night for the last time. When they awoke this morning Mrs. Sheriden told them of their father's death, and the scene became pitiful. The father always petted the chil dren, and little Phil can hardly comprehend what has happened. Mrs. Siieridau has borne herself nobly through all the sickness, and now she bears herself as a brave man's wife should. THE PALLREtBCbS.

Afraid of Free Trade. LorisviLLE, Kv., Aug. 3. In view of the rejiort that a jute trust was formed at St. Iiuis rovntly. a r'jsjrter interviewed W. J. Trapp, the head of the only jrile bagging manufactory here. His answer was not of the kind to please the free trade people. Mr. Tapp has shared thesympathy of all South ern jieople for the democratic party and has usually voted that ticket. In answer to a question he said : - " There is uo jute tntst anywhere in Amer ica. Five or six men. representing many millions of dollars, have simply bought up all the bagging in the country, as they bad a right to do since they paid for it." "Did they buy your goods among the rest?" " Yes, they lsitiht all I had and have paid for it all, except one payment, which they will make next month. I closed on July 3 because I was tired of operating to let these cotton men make 100 per cent, off what I was losing money on. I don't care to be re duced to tiie condition of asteel puddler. and if the Mills bill becomes a law I might as well sell my factory fir old iron." Wiien will you open your mills again?" asked the reporter. ' Wheu they get through fooling with the tariff." The Blaine Reception. New Yosc, Aug. 3.

"The handkerchiefs have an adhesive border, so that they can be stuck on to sticks and waved as flags at a moments notice. All the preparations for the reception are goin:.' on vigorously and every honr there is new evidence that the demonstration will be of the greatest of modern times. Regulation of Immigration. Wn.KEsctRSE, Pa., July 31. 31. At a meeting here to-night General Master Work man Powderly, in a lengthy address, made a strong argument against unrestricted immi gration, and proposed as his plan that any European desiring to come to America lo re side, must tile with a consul, two years in advance, his dcclarat'on of such intentions; tliat within five years after his arrival here he must be able to read the Declaration of Independence and tiie Constitution of the United States or be sent back. The Rasult of High License. The Bio iks High-I.icen: law went into ; effect June 3h, 1"CS7, mid its resnlLs tinitigh-' out this State have been most remarkale. From the time of tlie adoption of the law ' the temporanc "peopleln the various coun ties commenced a determined fight against the promiscuous granting of tii-enses, and this tact, together with tha high tax upon the basi; less, drterred many hitherto pros perous saloon" Tteep rs from applying for a renewal. The effect of mw on 1 tiom were especial ly notable in a Urge decrease, in the number of applications for renewal of licenses in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and other cities where a class of drinkirrg planes known as doggeries tl MirLshe-L In Philadelphia over one-half the'Iii:wr aellers declined to apply for licenses ender the Brooks law, and in rittsbur and Allegheny county one-third dropped out. Notwithstanding this, how ever, 11.SX) applications for license to sell li quor were made throughout the State. The applicants everywhere employed able attor neys anl bro-ij'it every other influence at their command to bear upon the courts. The result of the contest, now givey to the public, is astonishing. Of the 11, applicants for license only 7,7'il were granted, as against JI.SoS granted under the old law in 17. In nine popu lous counties of the State Armstrong, Forest, Greene. Hnntinglon. Indiana. Pot ter, Somerset, Warren and Washington no retail licenses were grant&l. and three others Fulton. Juniata and Mercer are almost dry. Pittsb.irj and Philadelphia each have only one-fourtb of the number of licensed drinking places they had a year ago. Near ly every county shows a heavy falling off, aud only one Dauphin an increase in the number of places where liiptor is sold legal ly. Yet the 7.721 licenses grantel in yield a revenue of fl.S'K.IXid, while tho 11, .Vi licenses grantel in I', unler the old law yielded a revenue of only C.17!. The interpretation of the Ifr.iefcs law by the judges throughout the State were in many cases widely at variance In some counties all retail licenses were refused aa 1 those who applied for wholesale licenses were referred to the county treasurer. This was the case in Washington county. Just what the decrease in saloons and the increase in revenues to the State under the new law is can be imagined when it is stated that in one year the number .of drinking places have dropped off oil per- cent, while the revenue has increased I'M percent. In Allegheny county in lS? there were l.lSo licenses granted, at a revenue of I'ioO.Si'J; in IsiM, "lis applicatisns were granted, the rev enue for which is t-'l 7, """. In 1 leaver coun ty this year there were but twenly-eight ap plications, nineteen uf which were granted, the revenue being $1.'JH as against $oli in 1HS7, when tiiieen saloons were in oieration. Butler county ha 1 seventeen saloons in I7 and has the same number this year, but tiie revenue has increased from $1,110 to$2,C7o. Washington county has fourteen wholesalers this year, for which she gets 91 ,." against $.M last year, when tiie county had nine teen liquor stores in all. The total revenue from the granting of licenses in Pennsylva nia this year was $l.U,.7t;. as against '.7. 170 in 17. Of the revenue derived from licenses is sued tfhder the Brooks law the Slate receives onc-lifih. The balance is divided between the county and the city, borough or town ship in u hich the license is granted. In Pittsburgh and iu other pars. of the State many violations of the law are retor ted, but the courts show a disposition to deal so sternly with offenders that it is con fidently predicted infractions will soon lie few and far between. ILtrrifhurij Trlr'tmph. An Insult to the G. A. R. W.vsiiiMirox. Aug. 2. The latest piece of Democratic campaign strategy apt wared to day in the shajie of a brass imitation of parody of the Grand Army bad'i. In ship- and size it is an exact copy of the genuine badge, which is so familiar to the eyes of everybody and lies Rear to the heart of every old sol di r There is the cogle on the pin, and the star pendent on a little string of red, white and blue ribbon. In the center of the star, in stead of raised figures representing " Fra ternity, Charity and loyalty," the emblems which typify the principles ot the Order, there ft pi -cars the pictured face of the last man on this continent, save t-rhups the old man of IVuuvoir, whose f.tce any Ciiion veteran would take pride in wearing upon his breast. It is a broad fat fate, with heavy jowls, over which the eyes are barely visible the face of the Democratic candidate for President and Chief of the Democratic IVtec tivc Bureau for tiie arrest of extravagant pen sion legislation not even the facj of the substitute wlio answered to the the name of i rover Cleveland on the muster roil of a New York company, hut the face of Grover Cleveland himself. Whatever penalty there may be for counterfeiting a Grand Army badge is cleverly cval.sl by making these badges nut of brass, which, when it liecomes tarnished and dirty, will have much the same apjiearance as the bronze of tlie genu ine article. They can bo readily distinguish ed, however, either by the difference in the decoration of the center of the star, or by tlie difference in the sort of the men who wear them. These badges are m sale at one of the stands in the House corridor, and have occa sioned considerable comment among theold soldiers who occupy seats o:i the west side of the House ot Representatives. An indignant group was discussing them to-day, and the denunciation of wiiat they consider a sacri ligioiis act was pretty sharp. " The idea of that brutal face being spread over a Grand Army badge," said Mr. Allen, of Michigan. "The man who conceived an idea so infa mous ought to lie court-martialed by the loyal men whom he expects to befog in this way," said Colonel Fnupinr, of New York. "It is an insult to the Grand Army, which tber will resent if they still pissess the same spirit that won the victory for us when once before the re.l, white and blue emblem was desecrated." said Boutelle, of Maine, at the boiling point. " It is a curjed outrage," said General Ken nedy, of Ohio, emphasizing the opinion by the aid of words not permissible in parlia mentary debate. Many others sjioke in a similar vein. Covemor Porter's Speech. LsuuXAroLU, I5D, Aiiji. 1. In his fieech t- the Terrc Hrr.ite Railroad t iub to-night, ex-Governor I'orter reiterated his absolute withdrawal from the guliernatoria! contest. Touching the sincerity of his withdrawal which has been questioned" by some, the llovenior said . " I think I value my integrity more than I Talue anything else, and I have talked on this question with those who are nearest and dearest to me in life my own children. There are five of them, all grown. They and I cannot perceive, afier what I have said, how I could i-nsi-i1 in competition with any one of t'iee gentlemen in a race for the nomination for iorernor. I feel that I must stand fast liy my integrity I can not afford lor any public honor that could be put upon me to have it said j.istly by any living man that for the sake of popularity or otlioe I would not stand by my word. My simple integrity reiiuires that I shall not be in the way of any of the gentlemen whom I have mentioned. Cries of "We want Porter." 'You'll be put there anyway," and great cheering. Oovenior Porter coinhiditl : " I therefore feel, gentlemen, that I must declare to you that I do not see how, ns an honorable man, 1 can accept the nomination for I Jovernor. But let me say to yon this, in onler tliat all ilefamen may be hushed there is no lend between Benjamin Harrison and myself. Applanse. I will support him zealously and heartily in this canvass. Applause. There: have lieen some tilings said about (ieneral Harrison pulling me throuirh. and about my pulling (ieucral Harrison through I have known (Jenera! Harrison a great many years, but have never known the time when anybody had lo pull him through." Cries of "Good, good," and cheering. "Elinky" Morgan's Crime. Con MRts. Ohio, August i -Blinky" Morgan was hanged after midnight to-night in tlie iiemtentiary. He refused lo U-ll who his acmip:ices were iu the Ravenna crime when promised a reprieve for the, informa tion, and possibly commutation of hisileath sentence to imprisonment lor lifa if they were convicted. Yesterday Morgan madcont an order turn ing "his body over to Dr. Clemmer, tlie phy sician of the prison, with the request that it be used for the benefit of science and after ward cremated, though he did not want it used in a way which would cause notoriety. After giving this order, however, lie received a letter from Nettie bowrry. of Cleveland, who is repu'ed to have been his mistress, asking that his body be sent to her. She had been refused the privilege of seeing him alive, and said it was uo more than right she should see bis bee after death. Morgan changed his mind and asked the physician to relinquish his claim, which was done. Morgan and hU gang rubbed a Cleveland fur store in Sanuary, 137, of $3,000 worth of goods and got away to Pittsburgh with the booty. Detectives in that city succeeded in arresting Harry McMunn, a noted criminal, as one of the guilty parties. I"or.ce Captain Hoehne and Detective W. C. Hulligan, of Cleveland, went to Pitsburg to take McMunn to Cleveland. In returning at night the prisoner was handcuffed to Hul ligan. and all three took seats in the smok ing car. There were eight or ten people in the car, and at Alliame. Ohio, three other men came on board, taking seats in the smo ker. When the train stopped at Ravenna the three passengers who had got on at Alli ance stood up and demanded the surrender of the prisoner. The detectives attempted to draw their pistols, but the rescuers were too quick, and Hoehne fell with bullets iu his shoulder and thigh, (me of the gang kicked him until he was insensible, while the others shot at Hulligan until he had seven bullets iu his Usly and his head split open. The men then escaped with McMunn. Hulligan died, bat Hoehne recovered. The latter traced the gang to A'jiena, Michigan, where Morgan and two alleged confederates were captured. No case could be made against the other men, but Morgan was con victed of Hulligan's murder. A Holocaust in New York. New Yobk. August 4. Twenty or more miple were bunied to death in a six-story brick tenement house in the rear of No. 1M7 Bowery, New York, yestenlay afternoon. Several others, burned so badly that they will probably die. were removed to various hospitals. In the building lived about I'm jieople. K n il of the six floors wxs occupied by a sin gle family, the head of which was a tailor, and each made clothing for the cheap w hole sale clothing-houses and employed from fif teen to twenty m.-n, women and children, in addition to his own family, in making up the clothing. They were all Polish Jews, and employers and employed worked, ate and slept iu the crowded room of the dingy tenement. The dwellers were caught as in a trap. Many of the frightened inmates rushed down through the flames and escaped to the narrow court yard with clothes ablaze and hands and bodies burned. Six of them were so severely burned that they were taken to the hospital and may die. There were fire escapes on the front and rear of the house, perpendicular iron ladders running down the front and rear of the building, but before any of the inmates had tried lo escape by them the flames had ascended through the house and were reaching from the windows, so that descent by the fire-escatics was iniios sible. line man, already half burned to death, leu;ied from a fifth story window, and fell a mangled mass of flesh in the little court-yard. Others jumped from the second story windows and escaped with bruises. A woman with her hair and clothing al ready ablaze apfieareil at the window, aud a man called to her to cross over the ladder. She cried back that shecoul l not leave her two children. The man tried to cnisM over on the ladder, but the flames drove him bat k, and he could not save her. Afterward the charred bodies of the mother and two chil dren were found in the building. Several of the Us lies were burned so badly that they fell apart when moved, and the firemen were obliged to lower them from the windows in nets. New Yoke, August 4. Three more liodies have been found in the burned Bjwery ten ement. A Judge Suicides. iVokcksTEK, Mw., August 4 Hun.
