THE POLITICAL BOOM.
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS HOLD A
GENUINE LOVE FEAST.
riutt. Miller ami Depew All Insl.lc the
Breastworks Together—New York Dem
ocratic Clubs Re-elect Mr. John Hoyd
fhaclier as President of the League.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Tho first big Re
publican meeting of the campaign was held
last night at Cooper Union. The news that
tx-Senator Warner Miller, ex-Senator
Piatt, Chauncey M. Depew and Whitelaw
Re id were to speak attracted a large crowd.
Mr. Piatt was introduced as chairman.
Mr. Piatt, after the applause had sub
sided which his appearance had evoked,
thunked the audience for its kind reception
and said he must protest against being
stigmatized as u prodigal son. He was a
Republican, and never expected to be any
thing else. He then referred to the lively
contest which took place at the last conven
tion between the friends of the different
aspirants for the presidential nomination,
and continuing said:
Only two conventions have occurred since
the republic was founded in which tho fiercest
strife has not been engendered, and these were
the conventions which nominated for the sec
ond time tho Father of his Country, George
Washington, and tho savior of his country,
Ulysses 8. Grant. [Applause.] Tho Republicans
who supported the different candidates at Min
neapolis have nothing for which to apologizo.
Any one of them is qualified to rulo this nation
In the darkest hour of trial or in tho golden day
of its prosperity. [Applauso.]
in his last letter of acceptance Mr. Cleveland
has been forced to wrestle with a condition, not
a theory, viz., ho has been forced to spit upon
the platform and to expect to rate as a consist
ent Doinocrat. Again, ho overlooked that em
barrassing condition which was embodied in
the recont report of that excellent Democratic
official known as tho commissioner of statistics
of lal>or. Ho should have definitely settled the
question whether Peck should bo crucified to
appease the wrath of tho free trade mugwumps,
and thus be put ou the list of martyrs to the
holy cause of protection. Ho has been drtvon
to embrace the tariff ideas of his arch enemy,
and to humiliatingly adopt the imaginary issue
of tho journalistic statesman who has stigma
tized him as "a stuffed prophot." In tho ex
pressive language of that same Democratic
oraclo, "Tho tariff part of Mr. Cleveland's let
tor is full of carefully considered maxims and
is as elastic as caoutchouc." [Laughter and
applause.]
Democratic newspapers have persistently
for months past spread through their columns
all sorts of incendiary appeals and bogus infor
mation in regard to this alleged force bill.
There never has been a force bill which was in
dorsed by the Republican party, and tho infor
mation furnished on that subject is of tho same
charactor as tho cablo dispatches of interviews
with Bismarck and imaginary discoveries in
tho geography of Mars. The issue is forced,
fictitious and fraudulent. The Republican par
ty, however, believes in a free ballot and a fair
count, and that we will have. [Applause.]
In introducing ex-Senator Warner Miller
Mr. Piatt spoke as follows:
There is harmony everywhere, not only in
New York, but all over the state. [Applause.]
This is a veritable love feast. [Laughter and
applause.] There is nobody tonight outside tho
broastworks. [Laughter and applause.] I was
there myself and speAk feelingly. [Laughter
and cheers.] Tho next orator of tho evening is
one whose name is as familiar to you as A house
hold word. I tako great pleasure in introduc
ing to you the Hon. Warner Miller.
Warner Miller spoke as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, 1 stand bore as an
other representative of tho class that has been
described to you by our president. All differ
ences in the Republican party ended when the
convention at Minneapolis declared its choico.
Tho Republican party has always allowed the
greatest liberty in the choice of candidates, but
when onco chosen evory Republican has been
loyal to the cause, loyal to party principles and
loyal to party candidates. And tonight, in tho
state of New York, whatever differences may
have existod have passed away, and tho Re
publican party has only one cause to command
its attention and efforts.
Mr. Piatt then introduced Dr. Chauncey
M. Depew, who received his usual ovatiou.
Ju part he said:
I came hero for the purpose of convincing the
skeptical Democratic newspapers that thoro is
harmony in the Republican purty. [Applause
and laughter.] Brother Miller and Brothor
Piatt aud 1 [laughter] got on the opposite side
of tho fence in Minneapolis, but we are now the
friskiest lambs in the same lot. [Applause.]
The Democratic literary directors are in
debted to mo. I have furnished a document of
which they are printing ln.ooo copies where
they print 100 of Cleveland's letter of accept
ance. It is the alleged speech that I made at
the Astor House dinner describing Mr. Cleve
land as a typical American.
After reading Mr. Clevaland's letter of ac
ceptance I want to say there are two things
about that speech—one is, tho gentleman I de
scribed In that speech as the typical American
is not the man who wrote the letter of accept
ance [appluuce], and the othor is that I did not
make that speech.
THE LEAGUE OF DEMOCRATIC CLUBS
Chauncey F. Black Re-elected President
of the National Organization.
NEW YORK, Oct. s.—The second quadren
nial convention of the National Association
of Democratic Clubs met in the Academy 1
of Music. The business of the convention
was transacted with great expedition ami
amid a whirlwind of enthusiasm. At the
front and center of the stage was the desk
of the presiding officer. There sat General
Patrick Coiling, of Massachusetts, chair
man of the convention. Behind Chairman
Collins was a semicircle of chairs, on which
Bat the visiting leaders and invited guests.
Ex-President Cleveland entered escorted
by Chauncey Black, president of the league,
aud William 1). H. Washington, chairman
of the local committee. The whole audi
ence rose en masse to receive him, and a
pandemonium of cheers and college yells
was raised to which both hands contri
buted. Mr. Cleveland stood for some min
utes until the enthusiasm subsided, and
as he took the chair "Three cheers
for the typical American, Grover Cleve
land," wore called for and given with a will.
As Mr. Cleveland took his seat amid wild
cheering and excitement President Chaun
cey F. Black stepped to the front of the
stage and opened the convention with a
speech eulogistic of the association and of
the Democratic ticket. He said the Demo
cratic party demanded greater freedom of
trade and denounced the protective tariff.
He then introduced Mr. Cleveland to the
convention. The ex-president said in sub'
stance:
; Your meeting Is tho council of war which
precodos a decisive battle, and your delibera
tions should be tho preparation for stern con
flict. All your weapons and all your equip
ments are soon to bo tested. You havo organ
ized and labored, and you have watched and
planned to insure your readiness for tho final
engagement now near at hand.
Your designs and purposes, as declared by
your association, are: The preservation of tho
constitution of the United States, the autonomy
of the status, local self government and freedom
of elections, opposition to tho imposition of taxes
beyond the necessities of the govornmont, eco
nomically administered, and the promotion of
economy in all brunches of the public service.
Those professions embody tho purest patriot-
Ism and the loftiest aspirations of American citi
zenship. Though at all times they should suggest
to us the strongest obligation to political effort,
their motive force, as incentives to political
activity and watchfulness, should be irresistible
at a time when the constitution is held in light
esteem as against the accomplishment of soltlsh 1
purposes, when state boundaries are hardly a
barrier to centralized power, and when local
self government and freedom of elections are ,
the scoff of partisanship. Those who subscribe
to the creed of this association and make any !
claim to sincerity can hardly excuse themselves !
for lack of effort at a time when the necessities :
of the government, economically administered, ;
have but little relation to the taxation of the .
people and when extravagunce in tho public j
service has become a contagious plague.
In this viow your assembling together is most I
important, in so far as it promotos this har
mony and unity by conference and a consid
eration of methods, and in so far as It inspires !
that zeal and enthusiasm which will make more
effective your work at home.
These temporary officers were chosen:
General Collins, chairman, and Hon. Mar
tin A. McGinniss, of Montana, vice chair
man. A resolution conveying the sym
pathy of the convention to President Har
rison on account of Mrs. Harrison's illness |
aud expressing hope of her speedy recovery |
was unanimously adopted. Letters of re-;
gret from Adlai E. Stevenson, Hon. Wil- j
liam M. Springer and Governor Flower I
were read.
The committee on credentials reported !
that there were 5,200 clubs on the rolls, j
The temporary officers were then made j
the permanent officers of the convention. ,
The resolutions adopted warn the Ameri- j
can people of the danger which menaces |
their common liberties in the manifest pur
pose of the munagers of the monopoly party
to debauch the suffrage, ami to purchase
another lease of the presidency and an
other majority in congress, and ultimately
to take permanent possession of the federal
government through the provisions of an |
unconstitutional and partisan force hill j
designed by corrupt and unscrupulous con
spirators, and indorsed by Benjamin Har- j
rison and a Republican convention of office '
holders and monopolists.
They also denounced as un-American 1
and unconstitutional the pillage of the peo- j
pie for the benefit of the few by unjust tax
laws; the squandering of the people's 1
money in profligate expenditures, in sub
sidies and in jobs, and demand a return to
lower and more equal taxation, more frugal j
expenditures and purer government, which
can be accomplished only by the election
of Cleveland and Stevenson.
Mr. Chauncey F. Black and Lawrence
Gardine were elected president and secre- '
tary for the ensuing year, and Governor ;
Roswell P. Flower was appointed treasurer. I
Then the convention permitted a motion
to adjourn to be declared carried, and the !
delegates passed out to the tune of "Four
Years More for Grover" vigorously played ;
by the hand.
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
John Hoy<l Thaclier Elected President ot
the League of Clubs.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—The convention of
the State League of Democratic Clubs at !
Chickering hall had a much smaller at- j
tendance than was anticipated, hut the !
hotly made up in enthusiasm what it lacked j
in numbers. Hon. William Sulzer, of New
York, was made permanent chairman. j
The platform indorses the principles of
the Democratic part* and commends the !
tariff plank in the national platform In a j
few words, saying: "We deem it unneces- I
sary to add anything further regarding
the paramount issue, since no exposition
of it can be so masterful as the admirable
letter of acceptance of Grover Cleveland
and the great Brooklyn speech of David
B. Hill."
Considerable space is devoted to the fed- 1
eral elections hill, which is denounced in 1
unmeasured terms.
The action of the national Republican
committee in bringing David Martin from
Philadelphia to this city is vigorously de- j
nounced and Martin described as a dis- i
I reputable rascal, a ruffian at the polls, a
manipulator of ballot boxes and a dispenser
of corruption funds.
The platform then denounces the extrav- i
agant administration of Benjamin Harri- j
son, indorses the administrations of Grover 1
Cleveland, David B. Hill and Roswell P.
Flower, charges the loss of the World's fair
to New York to Republican tricks, and
concludes thus:
Wo heartily indorse tho candidates nomi
nated and the principles announced by the
Democratic national convention at Chicago,
and we pledge the earnest support of this league
to Grover Cleveland and Adlai .Stevenson.
The convention then proceeded to the
election of officers for the ensuing year.
Bartow S. Weeks placed the name of John
Boyd Thacher, of Albany, in nomination as
president, and his election was made by ac
clamation. John 11. V. Arnold was elected
by acclamation OH first vice president. For
j second vice president, Bernard J. Degnan,
of Kings county, was elected. Herman
Ammend, William E. Gross and Hon. I
Ferdinand Levy were elected third, fourth I
and fifth vice presidents of the league, re
spectively. The other officers elected were: j
Secretary, Edmund G. Stanton; assistant j
secretary, Frank E. Johnson, of Brooklyn;
treasurer, Hon. Perry Belmont.

NEW YORK'S REAPPORTIONMENT.
The Three Test Cases Argued Before the
Court of A||'HlH.
AI.BANY, Oct. 5. —The three apport.ion
i niout cases involving the question of the j
constitutionality of the new apportionment
law came up in the court of appeals.
Mr. Sutherland opened for the contest
ants, making a general argument to cover
the three cases. He held that by the act
under consideration representation was
unequal. He held that Monroe county
was justly entitled to four assemblymen,
Whereas the act of 1892 gave but three.
Albany county, with a population of 150,-
748, has four assemblymen. Monroe's popu
lation is 181,239. Said Mr. Sutherland:
If the apportionment of 1893 can be tolerated
by tho courts nothing stands in the way of
Borne future apportionment, in response to any
sudden wave or popular sentiment, which
would reduce tho county of New York to fif
teen members, give ten to the county of Mon
roe and five to the county of Erie, and if the
Thirteenth senatorial district may constitu
tionally comprise more than twice tho number
of people in the Twelfth, then thoro is no rea
son why an agricultural county may not have
throo senators to every one given to Now
York for tho same number of people.
The next point urged was that the spe
cial session at which the apportionment
bill passed was not the "next session after
the return of the enumeration" content'
plated by the constitution.
The legislature which adjourned sine die
April 21 was the same legislature when it
assembled April 2">, and its doings on both
dates were the acts of the legislature at its
115 th session. The last point made was
that the apportionment of 1892 was void
because not based on a census taken as the
constitution provides.
Attorney General Rosendale in bis reply
held that the constitutional provision for a i
census every ten years was directory, not
mandatory.
Inasmuch as the legislature of 1885 and
its successors had neglected to obey the
command of the constitution by the pas
sage of an enumeration law, it became the
duty of the legislature of 1892 to conform I
to the constitutional requirement and pass
the law.
As to the "next session" point Mr. Rosen- I
feld said the constitution was also merely
directory and said:
An act apportioning members of assembly :
by tho legislature is not within tho power of j
the judiciary to review. Rosting, as tho power j
does, in legislative discretion, it cannot bo re
viewed by tho courts, except iu cases of fraud '
and gross in justico. Tho courts cannot insti- |
tute an inquiry into facts to sot aside a law as !
unconstitutional. Tho court ought not to do
clare tho act unconstitutional. Only when re
quired by tho most cogent reasons, or indeed |
unless compellod by unanswerable grounds, |
will a court declare a statute to bo unconstitu- j
tional.
It is believed that the court will be ready I
with an opinion by next Tuesday.
ANOTHER SUICIDE CLUB.
A Wealthy Young Man Kills Himself Ac
cording to Compact.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4. —Upon the very J
threshold of his early manhood, the posses- |
sor of a large fortune, with hosts of friends,
J. Barlow Moorehead, twenty-one years (
old, sent a bullet into his heart in his room
at 56 West Thirty-fifth street, where he !
boarded and where he was found lying dead
upon his bed. A revolver lay by his side,
and on his breast, as if he had cast one last,
fond look at it liefore he fired the fatal
shot, lay the picture of the young man's
mother, who died soma years ago.
Young Moorehead comes of excellent
family. His father, Charles H. Moorehead,
is a wealthy resident of Bridgeton, N. J.
He was a nephew, too, of Mr. G. C. Thom
as, of the banking firm of Drexel, Morgan
& Co., of Philadelphia.
From his grandfather, a retired western
mine owner, who died several years ago,
the young man is said to have inherited a
fortune estimated at $1,000,(XX).
Several letters were on the table in tho
suicide's room. These were severally ad- :
dressed to the coroner of New York city;
G. C. Thomas, care of Drexel, Morgan &
Co., Philadelphia; Charles H. Moorehead, i
Bridgeton, N. J., and Cabby No. 841, city, j
The letter to the coroner, which was dated |
Oct. 3, 1:45 a. m., read as follows:
I have committed suicide as per club. Ploaso
give verdict to such effect and oblige yours
truly, J. B. MOOR. [
N. 13.—My proper namo is J. B. Moorehead,
Jr., of Philadelphia. G. C. Thomas, of Droxol
& Co., is my uucle. Please notify him.
The coroner began probing into the mat- !
tor, and learned that Nestor Ivennon, an
actor, could probably explain the curious
epistle he hail received. Ijennon was sum
moned and told the coroner that there was
a suicide club in this city. Moorehead, he
said, was a member and he also belonged ;
to it. He said that was the reason Moore- i
head shot himself, and added that the dead
man was compelled to do it.
In speaking of the workings of the club
Lennon said: "Each member on joining is
compelled to fix the date at which they are I
to take their own life. Moorehead's hour 1
had arrived. By a special rule of the club
he was offered a ten year parole, but he re- j
fused to accept it, being determined to keep i
his agreement."
