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 !

The outlaws killed several horses, mak- j
ing a breastwork of their carcasses, and an j
hour's fight at long range failed to result !
in. a death on either side. The ranchmen i
then set the grass afire, shooting down six j
of the outlaws who broke through the
flames, and hanging the bodies beside the
three wounded men, badly burned, who
had been left in the outlaw camp.
