Tho audience was about oqunlly divided botweon tho two races. On tho stago woro many of tho loading Hopubllcans and gold Democrats, and nlso a sprinkling of sllvor Domocrnts. Gonornl Hurrlson'8 wlfo was prosent. faho was accompautod by sovornl Richmond ladles. Tho ox-prcsldont was loudly applauded when ho mado htsnppcarauco on tho stago. City Chairman N. J. oung called tho authoring to order and Introduced lion. Li. L. Lowls, Republican nomlneo for con gress, to preside. Judge Lowls nmdo no speech, but In a fow words presented Gon ornl Harrison. Tho speaker was In good voice. Tho rival npplauso for Mckinley and Hryan Interrupted him sovornl times. There were n fow disorderly persons pros ent, and tho police arrested somo of theo and pullod them out of tho building. Onco tho lights wont out and tho building was In darkness for ilvomlnutos during which General Harrison suspended his remarks. iVs tho general proceodod and wanned up ho received bettor attention. His compli mentary references to Virginia and tho south wcro all most lllcrally applauded. General Harrison said In tho courso of his address : 'I have como horo nt tho request of v lr- giula frionds to speak on questions now agitating us nil. Virginia is not tho ene mies' country to mo. It is my ancestral homo, and its children nro my fellow citi zens. 1 do hollovo that Virginia has as largo a nuinbor of great and good men under ground as any stato out. I never said that sho hnd no good men nbovo ground. There wns a time when tho north and south wero arrayed against each other iu battle line. That time is now only a memory. Wo nil nro again ono united loyal pooplo. This great stato and all thoso statos that participated in tno civil war hnvo sworn nllogianco to tho flag and constitution, and Virginia stands as firmly and united for their defense ns any stato In tho federal union. "More than that, not only do her citi zens, but tho Confederate soldiers, stand now for tho old Hag of Washington. If it shall bo tho had fate of this country to bo involved in war, if any foreign foo at tempts to tramplo on our Hag, Indiana und Virginia will charge together, and who shall stay that onslaught? Tho army of Gettysburg and of Appomattox will forco us not to stop until wo are on thoin sido of tho breastworks of tho enomy. Wo nro hero tonight under ono union. AVo are hero to cluim for our statos thoso rights which tho federal constitution gavo thorn. Wo uro hero to say that tho constitutional powers of our national government shall not bo trampled upon. "I regret to notice tho recent assault upon our just constitutional powers. Tho incident I refer to Is tho groat Chicago riot. Mou in doflunco of low, in great or ganized bodies, went through the street with lire and sword, destroying property, stopping railroads, blooklng tho moils and preventing commerce, Theo acts had their origin In railroad strikes.and wero tho work of men under tho red Hag of anarchy. Mr. Cleveland felt it his duty to opon tho way of tho mulls. It was as plainly his duty as was any duty that devolves upon the president of tho United States. Ho was tho Instrument as commaudorof tho army and navy to restore tralllc and tho movo mont of trains. "Tho courts wore appealed to and a writ of injunction grunted to euforco tho law. Violation of tho order of tho court re sulted In contempt proceedings and pun ishment of the offenders, which was right. These courts proceodod on a lino that was legal, that was uphold by tho constitution, and yet tho presldout und tho supreme court nro denounced In tho Chicago plat form." Tho speaker hero referred to .Senator Daniels, and scored him for being a party to tho Chicago platform, when ho had in tho souato fathered a resolution indorsing I'rosldont Cleveland for sending troops to Chicago. Ho hold that tho upholding of tho constitution and law was tho most Im portant of all duties of citizens, Ho argued that tho Chicago platform meant to chaugo tho supreme court body bo as to accom plish tho ends of anarchy. Ho said that Virginians hud just as much at stake in tho preservation of tho law as tho people of any other stato, and urged thorn to vote to prevent It. Tho hocond question that General Har rison discussed was tho money question. Ho had exhuusted over half of his time in speaking of tho lmportuuco of maintain ing law aud order. His arguments against free silver wero along tho lino of thoso ho has used In other speeches. In closing he udvooatod protection to American Indus tries, l'rotcctlun would bo a great boon to tho south, ho said. Ho mentioned Mc Klnloy only once and that was In his ilual appeal for "Law and order, sound money, protection und McKinloy." At tho close tho general was vociferously cheered and many pooplo rushed forward to shako hands with him, Tho ox-prosldont and Mrs. Harrison loft Immediately for Charleston, W.

Cuppy, despite his split hand, stnyod In tho pitchers' box throughout the nlno Innings, und pitched a gnmo which undor ordinary conditions would havo car ried his nlno across tho string a winner, but tho homo players outdid themselves. Tho game, however, wns closo until the eighth inning, when four lilts, an errot und somo good base running, gavo the champions threo runs and put tho result almost beyond doubt. Tho feature of tho gnmo was tho brilliant outfield work ol both teams, ovory man greedily accepting nil chances and making tho plays In fine stylo. Tho only exception was n poor throw by Durkott, which allowed HoITcr to score In tho third.

THE OUSTED JUSTICES BARRED OUT Under the Decision the Dauphin County Court Is Sustained and the Question of Constitutionality Is Set at Rest. Other Proceedings Are Fending. All doubt about tho constitutionality of the law which provides that boroughs In Pennsylvania incorporated under the Act of l.il are entitled to but two Justices of the Pence, is dispelled by a decision rendered yesterday by tho Supremo Court of this state. The decision is an important one, as it now only all'icts the boroughs of Shenan doah and Mahanoy City, which wero directly represented iu tho suit wherein tho decision was given, hut It allicts every borough In the state incorporated under tho sumo Act. How many of such boroughs thcro nro and what advantage will bo taken of tho decision Is not known nt present. Tho history of the case is that nt the Inst spring elections in this borough and Mnhanny City a eertnln number of votes were cast fur tho election of Borough Justices. In this town Justices M. J. I.-iwIor and John J. Cntdiu, who already held commissions as wnrd Justices, were elected. Tho other then existing Justice's contested tho constitution nitty of the law. Justices hawlorand Curdin carried the mutter to Pottsville and teemed certificates of election. Thoy then applied to tho court of Dauphin county for writs of ouster ngainst those clniiniug to hold ollice as wnrd Justices nnd niter some delay the enso was argued and tho writs ultimately granted. The wnrd Justices then appealed to the Supremo Court aud nfter argument tho e-ase hung fire in that court until yesterday, when a decision was handed down nilirming the decision of thu Dauphin county court und declaring thnt the only legal Justices of tho Peace iu Shonandonh nro Messrs hawlor and Cardin. and in Mahanoy City tho only legal Justices nro Messrs. Coylo and Jones. Xono of the wnrd Justices have been exercising thu functions under their commissions sine o Inst July, when tho writs of ouster wero issiud by the Dauphin county court. Seventeen Jii-ticcs of this town nnd Mah anoy City aie ail'ected by the deciion. They are Jeremiah Toomcy, First wind; William H. Shoemaker and Charles W. Dcngh-r, Sec ond ward; T. T. Williams and P. ,V. liicr stein, Third ward; Picree Walker and Walter 1'yukawic., Fouith ward; nnd Daniel li.iiley, Fifth ward. Dcnglcr and Uierteiu wero re elected Justices in their lespeitivo wards last spring. The other deposed Justices aie in Mahanoy City, nrnong them being Messrs. Dochney, o'liricn, Ketncr, Sherman, Morgan and May. While tho decision icferred to settles tho question of constitutionality, it docs not dis poso of controversy in tho matter. In addi tion to milking the contest in the Dauphin county and Supremo courts tho ward Justices instituted proceedings in the courts of this county attacking tho legality of tho election under which tho IJoruugh Justices claim otlice. They based their attack on many points under tho linker ballot law. The liorough Justices made answer to this case, but thu ward Justices then applied for a rule for judgment on tho ground that the answers wero not only insutlicicnt, but also admitted tho illegality of the election. Argument on this rule was had at Pottsville hist Monday before Judgo Pershing. If tho rulo is granted, aud sustained on appeal to the hiuhcr courts, it will practically ho nn ouster of tho liorough Justices aud tho peoplo of this town and Mahanoy City will then be obliged to re-elect olllcinls to fill tho places. It will ho many months, and pos sibly a year or more, before the case will be settled, however, as both sules seem de termined to appeal, nnd an appeal this tune will mean battles iu both tho Superior and Supreme Courts, so that it is hardly prob able, should the rule bo ultimately upheld, that the peoplo will ho called upon to elect liorough Justices again before tho spring of 1808, und that the present incumbents hnvo many months to serve, regardless of the rule. Hut there is still another movement on foot whereby tho ousted Justices hope to gain moro direct relief than another election would afford them. Tho next Legislature, which meets next Janunry, will bo asked to pass a law providing for tho election of nt lenst two Justices iu each ward of boroughs. Should this law bo passed tho justices who aro now ousted hope to 1)0 appointed and elected tu their old positions. Umbrellas re-covered while you wait at Ilrumm's. A .Menu Ti lck.
