liLAINE SPEAKS OUT. HE PLEADS FOR THE ELECTION OF HARRISON AND REID. The Kx-Secretury Speaks nt a Meeting at Ophir Farm and Makes a Special Ap peal for th< Irish Vote on the Question of the Tariff. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Oct. 15.—James G. Blaine has spoken. The magnetic man of Maine has thrown the weight of his ut terances into the campaign. He has si lenced the Democratic claim that he was disgruntled by earnestly and with much of his old time vigor proclaiming the Repub lican cause and advocating the election of the Harrison and Reid ticket. Mr. Reid invited a formidable gathering to dine with Mr. Blaine. There were pres ent Chauncey M. Depew, Charles W. llack ett, chairman of the Republican state ex ecutive committee; William Hrookfield, chairman of the New York county eom- Opnittee; National Committeemen Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey, B. O. Kerens of Missouri, W. A. Hahn of Ohio; W. 11. Robertson, ex-collector of the port of New I York; Solomon Hirsch, ex-minister to Tur- I key, and Patrick Egan, minister to Chili. ' While at dinner a large crowd surround- j ed the house from the surrounding towns, • and Mr. Blaine said he would speak to the 1 people and said that Depew should speak also. Mr. Blaine was very loudly cheered j when he was introduced by Mr. Reid. The ex-secretary said: Mr. Blaine's Speech. FELI.OW CITIZENS OK NEW YOUR— I should , bo churlish indeed if I did not make response , to your call after you have come several miles to this beautiful homo of Mr. Reid on a pleas ant October evening. At the same time I am not making speeches in the canvass for reasons which are well known to my frieuds and which . have no connection whatever with politics. Generally administrations in a presidential election are challenged on account of the con- i dition of the business of the country, and I sub mit that the Republican administration of , President Harrison can triumphantly endure such a tost. 1 doubt if since the government of the United States was instituted anybody at any time has seen what wo call "good t lines" so general, taking in so many interests and spread ing prosperity throughout the whole domain of trade. 1 might appeal to New York if the city | has ever passed through a season more satisfac tory in financial results than for the past two i years, in which the general effect on capital and labor has been more prosperous. The opponents of tho Republican party nl ways represent New York as a commercial city and not a manufacturing one, and yet the j>rod uct of the manufacturers of this city alone is >700,000,001). Anything that would cripple that great iuterest would cripple the metropolis seriously and to a very hurtful extent. More men in Now York get their living from pursuits protected by tho tariff than from any other source. I know New York is the center of our commerce - the great entrepot of our trade but all the men engaged in commercial affairs in and about New York are smaller in numbers than the men engaged in manufactures. The Democrats la the West. We learn from the Democratic party that these western states are in a desperate condi tion. Tho amount of their farm mortgages roll up into the millions. You would suppose it fabulous that the amount of money they em brace could ever have been invested. This is not so among the farmers in New York. It is not so among the farmers iu New Jersey. It is not so among the farmers of Connecticut. It is not so among the farmers of Pennsylvania. It is not so among the farmers of any state near by whose condition can be easily learned, but by a singular fatality it is the western states that have got all these farm mortgages burden ing them and taking the life out of tho people. I do not like to state that these geutlemeu have voluntarily misrepresented tho facts, but be fore accepting thorn as such you will do well and wisely to demand the proof. The tariff, so Democratic papers say, is the origin of a plutocratic government, when wealth shall rule and j>oor men shall not get their rights. I shall venture to challenge nil statements of that kind, and I shall make the Democratic accusers the judges in the case. A careful examination of tho list of wealthy men in the country has been published and has demonstrated tho fact to be quite the reverse to such an extent indeed that in tho city of New York, taking the first I">U great fortunes, not three, not two, not moro than one, would be considered as derived from manufacturing investments. About the Irish Vote. 1 have a word to say about the Irish votes. 1 see it stated that the Democrats boast of hav ing tho moss of them in thoir ranks. This year it isoue of the mysteries of politics that a ques tion which interests England so supremely, which is canvassed almost as much in London as it is in New York, should have the Irish vote on the side of Great Britain. If the Irish voto were solidly for protection they could defy all the machinations of the Democratic party for free trade, and throw their influence on tho side of the homo market of America against the side of the foreign market of England. I know this appeal has been frequently made to the Irish voters, but I make it with emphasis now, for I am unwilling to believe that with light and knowledge before them they will de liberately be on the side of their former op pressors. I think I shall roly on my good friend Egan, the brilliaut and successful minister to Chili, whom I feel especially glad to meet at Mr. Hold's table this evening—l think I must rely on him to intercede with his countrymen—his countrymen in two senses—not to aid the Dem ocratic party in lowering tho standard of tho wagosof American labor by their potential votes and their ]>otontial numbers. WHITELAW REID'S LETTER. Ills Official Acceptance of the Vice Pres idential Nomination. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. —Hon. Whitclnw Reid'B letter accepting the Republican nomination for vice president has been made public. It is addressed to Hon. W. T. Durbin, Anderson, Ind., and is dated Ophir Farm, N. Y., Oct. 18. In it Mr. Reid Bays: ' It is obvious that, in the common judgment bt the people in all parts of the country, the Toally vital issues which this year divide parties And demand a popular decision arc those relat ing to the tariff and the currency. Fortunately loth sides have statod their positions on these subjects with directness, simplicity and frank ness. The issues thus made between the rival candidates for the popular suffrage are especial ly sharp and distinct. Mr. Reid then goes into an extended argument on the protective tariff, its con stitutionality and its effect on wages, and devotes considerable space to a discussion of the llnancial question. Mr. Reid, speak ing of the alleged force bill, says it scarcely calls for notice, and continues: The very title of tho bill referred to pro claimed its object to be to prevent the nse of foroe at eleotions. It failed anyway, and tho southern white men who wore lately its chief as they wero its most interested opponents now Iwgiu to wish it revived, to protect them from being themselves counted out of elections they Lave fairly won- as the other day in Alabama - by their own white fellow Democrats. It la well, howevor, to say that the denuncia tion in tho Demoeratic platform of tho princi ple that the federal government may supervise the eLeotion of federal officers is grotesque. That principle has been long recognized and it has been sustained by the courts. It now stands undisputed on tho statute book, and it was en forced at recent elections by Grovor Cleveland, then president of the United States, through his order of Oct. 5, 18Hti, to Mr. Garland, his at torney general. But it is not to be disguised that the recent elatnor against the principle, if it means any- ! thing, moans a purpose to nullify the twenty- j fourth and twenty fifth articles of the const!- j tution of tho United States. Mr. Reid next refers to the revival of , Arnericau shipping, and repeats his ad- ; hesion to the resolutions of the Republican national convention as a whole. In closing be pays a high tribute to the administra- , tlon of President Harrison. He says: The administration of President Harrison i has l>eon generally recognized as honest, able and safe. Considering the number of important ! subjects of both foreign and domestic policy it | has been compelled to deal with and tho satis- j faction that has attended the results, it may in- ' deed be prouounced brilliantly successful. Not to enumerate further, it may be fairly said that tho present condition of the country and the general public confidence in tho admin istration combine to form tho strongest protest ; against subjecting the people to the shock and needless risk inevitable in such a change. A sudden reversal of policy is not what either the suggestions of ordinary business prudence oi the obvious aud general oonteutmont of the people call for. 1 beliove your declaration of principles aud your renomination of a prudent, spotless and successful president will command the populai j approval at tho polls, and will under God inure to the continued benefit of our country. Very j respectfully yours, WIIITEI.AW REID. 1 NEW YORK'S REAPPORTIONMENT. ! The Law Declared Constitutional In the Court of Appeals. ALBANY, Oct. 14. —The court of appeals , i hits sustained the apportionment, law ot I 1892 and declared it constitutional by a J vote of 5 to 2. The two Republican judges, I i Andrews and Finch, dissented. The court j was unanimous in its opinion on all qties- i I tions involved, except those discussed in I • Judge Andrews'opinion. This decides all ! I three of the apportion men t cases and the , ! Democrats are jubilant over their victory, 1 ! The two main points of the cose were: ! First, whether the adjourned session, at j j which the apportionment law was passed, i ; was a second session within the terms of j i the constitution, and second, whether the j division of districts by the legislature, not j ! being in exact ratio, was equitable, j On the first of these points the Republic- | an judges agree with their Democratic col- ' i leagues, but the second forms their only j j point of disagreement. The opinions were written by Judges j i Peckham and Gray. Earl, O'Brien and 1 Maynard concurred, and Andrews dissents i on the question in which Finch concurs. . Judge Peckham wrote the majority opinion I ! of 11,000 words. It covers forty-six pages I of typewritten copy. The only question upon which the judges ; differed is thus referred to: "Fourth—lt is finally objected that the act is invalid because the senate districts do not contain an equal numlier of in- I habitants as nearly as may be. This ques | tion of inequality contains, in my judf ment, the only debatable proposition aril f ing in these cases. "We think that the courts have no pow A i in such case to review the exercise of a dis- j cretion intrusted to the legislature by the constitution,unless it is plainly and grossly 1 abused. The expression 'as nearly as may j be,' when used in the constitution with ref erence to this subject, does not mean as { nearly as a mathematical process can be followed. It is a direction addressed to the | legislature in the way of a general state- { ment of the principles upon which the ap portionment shall be made." THE MINER LAW STANDS. Michigan's Electoral Vote Will lie Split ly the Supreme Court'a Decision. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The United States supreme court has affirmed the ruling ot the state court of Michigan in the case in volving the constitutionality of the Minei election law. This decision is in favor ot j the Democrats. By the Miner law, which 1 this decision upholds, presidential elector. l ; j are chosen by districts. The supreme court holds that the law ol I Michigan dividing the state into districts j for the election of presidential electors is j Invalid only so far as it conflicts with the act of congress of 1887, relating to time of , meeting of the electors. The act is not oh ! noxious to the provisions of the constitu- 1 tion conferring upon the state legislature i the power to fix the manner of choosing electors. The view of the court will' be written at length later by Chief Justice ; Fuller. The decision means that Michigan will j east in all probability four of her fourteen votes for Cleveland and Stevenson. Some of the Democrats claim that they will net seven votes. Each congressional district will choose an elector and each party will have as many of the district electors as it I carries congressional districts. The two ! , electors at, large are also to be chosen by districts, but by great districts taking i" half the state instead of congressional (lis- | tricts. The Republicans insist that they will carry both of these greater districts and no fewer than eight of the congression al districts. JUDGE ANDREWS NOMINATED. Indorsed by Democrats for Chief of New York's Court of Appeals. NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The Democratic state committee met at the Hoffman House to nominate a candidate for chief justice ot the court of appeals. The name of Judge Charles F. Andrews, Republican nominee, was placed before tho committee by William B. Kirk, of Syra cuse, and seconded by W. Bourke Cockran on behalf of Tammany Hall. Judge An drews' nomination was also seconded by District Attorney Ridgeway on behalf of the Kings county Democrats. Mr. Ridge way made a speech referring to the fact that Judge Andrews was nominated by the [ Democrats in 1884. The nomination was I then made unanimous. A letter was read from Judge Wheelei H. Peckham, who was himself a candidate j j for the office. In the letter Judge Peek , j ham stated that if the Republicans had de- I cided to recognize Judge Andrews' twenty five years of service on the bench by tender ing him the nomination, the Democrats could not do better than indorse him.

NEW YORK TALKS TO CHICAGO. | The Long Distance Telephone Is Now In Successful Operation. | NEW YORK, Oct. 19. —The long distance J j telephone line between this city and Chi cago was formally opened at 4 o'clock yes- j terday afternoon. The line operated in the I most perfect and satisfactory manner. The i I line was opened by a conversation between • | Mayor Grant in New York and Mayoi | Washburne in Chicago. Mayor Grant | offered his congratulations to Mayor Wash- j j burne upon the approaching celebration, and also upon the opening of a telephone communication which brings the two | cities so close together. Chicago's re pre 1 sentative returned the congratulations, j Professor Bell then took possession of the telephone, and held a conversation with ! William H. Hubbard, of Chicago, who as- . I Misted Professor Bell with his first public exhibition of the telephone in 1870, at the | centennial, when the emperor of Brazil and I Sir William Thompson first heard the tele- j I phone. Professor Bell sent his congratula j tions to the officers of the company in Chi- j cago on the completion of the line. While j I talking a photograph of Professor Bell was . taken by flash light. The ladies were then given an opportunity j of talking to Chicago, and pronounced it "just too lovely for anything." A man in Chicago recited "The Charge of the Six j Hundred," and every word was distinctly j I heard at this end; in fact, much better than 1 j it could he heard over the average local telephone. The line to Chicago will be opened to the j public today. It runs through Easton,' llarrisburg, Pittsburg and Newcastle, Pa.; i Cuyahoga Falls and Mauinee, 0., and South Bend, Ind., to Chicago, and is what is known as a "metallic circuit," or two j wires, there being no ground connection. The wire is copper and considerably lieaviei ! | than the ordinary telephone wire. HORSE THIEVES LYNCHED. Nine of Tlicm Shot Down and Then Strung : Up by ltunrhnieii.
