Applauded President Cleveland.
Richmond, Va, Oct. 0. Ex-Prcsldont
Honjnmin Harrison ppoko hero to nbout
0,000 pooplo lust night. Tho meeting wns
hold In tho Auditorium building nt tho
opposition grounds. 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. Va., wliero ho speaks
toduy. Murut Hulstend Is with them.

IIAI.TIMOUE, Oct. 0. Tho Orlolos took
tholr third straight game In tho Tomple
cup series from tho "Spiders" yesterday
nftornoon by dint of brilliant playing,
both nt tho bat and in tho Hold, togothel
with a bit of good luck hero and there.
Tho price of admission wns reduced to the
old time scnlo, but tho attondanco wns not
materially lncreasod thereby, althougt
tho weather was porfoct and other condi
tions nil that could be wished for. Tho at
tondanco was nbout 0,000. Clovoluud'j
mon nro woefully put out at tho rosult,
nnd tho Daltlmoro contingont look very
glum whon thoy talk about It. All hands
left for Cleveland today, and tho Orioles
say thoro will bo but ono game in that city,
which thoy export to win and thereby set
tle tho contest for tho trophy.
Captain Tobeou wasngain unablo to got
Into tho gomo yestordoy. Ho sat on the
plnyors' bonch wrapped In a big winter
overcoat. 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. Pooro by innings:

A Decision Rendered by the Supreme
Court Yesterday.
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.
