Tammany General Committee Meet and Submit Their Report. An Address Adopted in Which it is Deoided to Stand by the Democracy. Ex-Senator Grady Renounces the Party and Declares for Butler. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—An hour before the doors to Tammany Hall opened this evening a great crowd of people assembled on the out side waiting to go into the meeting of the Tam many general committee, where was to be de cided whether the organization would indorse Cleveland and Hendricks. When an entrance was obtained the committee took seats on the main floor, and very few prominent members ere absent. hen .John Kelly took his seat directly in front of the platform the enormous «rowd chcered time and again. When quiet had been restored Kelly said that owing to ill ness Sidney P. Nieholls, chairman, was neces sarily absent. As vice-president, it was his duty to call upon Senator Foster, of the Twenty-fourth district, to preside. After read ing the minutes of the previous Electing, Gen. F. B. Spinola, chairman of the sub-committee appointed by the committee on organization to draft an address to the people, made his re port. The address commences with a sketch of 'the history of Tammany llali, which the address says is the oldest political body in the United States. The assertion is made that Tammanv never swerved in its allcgiauee to the partv. nor faltered in support of the candidates nomi nated aud the principles enunciated by the platforms of the national Democratic convtn tions. and in but one instance iu all its history did it oppose the action of the partv or its nominee in the state, and that only "after due notice was given, and in response' to nature's lirst law, when the existence of our organiza tion was threatened and the personal and po litical rights of our constituents denied. Here follows an extended report of the ad dress, from which we make the following ex tracts There is but one alternative left us, sever our connection with the Democratic party. This we cannot anil will not do. Iu justice to our constituents aud our own judgment, we cannot pursue that course. We beliuve time will dis connect the great Democratic partv from the leadership of tlje men who have' used their power unwisely and detrimental to its success. We acquiesce iu. although protesting against, the unwis" and injudicious course which thev pursued. We say. with John Q. Adatcis, that there is no goodgovernment but wiiat is Re publican, for a republic is an empire of laws and not men. The mistakes of men cannot blind us to the beauties and immortal prin ciples of the Democratic party, and for the per petuation of these principles our organization was established. WE lSELIEVE IX THE DEMOCRATIC PAKTY and its immortal principles. Men make mis tnkes. Its representatives and leaders may be inconsistent, time-serving, and lack strength of their convictions, but in it is liberty to be found: freedom of thought: freedom of "speech and action, and protection to even' citizen alike. For the reasons herein set forth we recommend this organization to the support of the nominees ef the Democratic party for President aud Vice-President, made at Chi cago, Friday, July 10. 1SS4, and submit for its consideration the' adoption of the following resolution: Resolved -'That we the Democratic-Republi can general committee of the city and county of New York, in Tammany hall assembled, hereby ratify am! indorse the nominations made by the national Democratic convention held support of the candidates so nominated. APPLAUSE AND XI.SSB3 OltEETEl) TIIE KEADINO OF TIIE ADDKESS. For some time it was doubtful which pro vailed tinaliv the cheers had the best of it. "f1°P-t"n tl!L Gfn into line, Tammanv hall would secure the election of the Chicago candidates. The country must also wheel into line, aud if possible, even at this late date, snatch victory from the ja.vs of defeat." GKADT'S SPEECH. When Gen. Spinola sat down, ex-Senator Thos. P. Grady demanded the recognition of the chair. Grady was cheered even more than Kelly had been earlier. He reviewed the whole political career of Cleveland and quoted freely from the columns of the Times aud Her ald in the past in support of the position he (Grady) had maintained. In the course of his speech Grady said: The expressed design of the men who urged Cleveland's nomination was to CONCILIATE DISGRUNTLED REPUBLICANS, not to please Democrats. Preserving to my self the supreme right of a citizen exercising the right of sovereignty, I decline to prostitute my prerogatives to the" purposes of the party managers. Suffrage has been best»wed upon me bv the institutions of my country that it may be exercised for the country's welfare. To posterity aud the benefit of this land 1 dedicate it, aud I cannot reconcile, without desecration, any disposition of it that would result in the support of a political nondescript, clothed in the outward garb of a Democrat, ignorant of tlw cardinal principles of the political faith which he assumes to profess, and ac cepting from Democrats their votes that he piay delight Republicans and Indepen dents by the manner in which he will exercise the powers conferred upon him by the be trayed and deluded party but iny vote will not be lost to the Democrat-}. It will be cast for the candidate whose followers Will be num bered by hundreds of thousands: whose mo tives cannot be impugned, for their action can be inspired bv no selfish hopes of reward. It will be registered fur the urineiplcs which the Democratic party professed when it held popu lar confidence, and for abandoning which they lost popular support. It will be given for "a candidate who kas no hope of election, anil no desire for sordid benefitsfor political preferment but who braves fatigue abuse and pecuniary loss that true Democrats may find his candidacy a channel through which they may express their sentiments. I turn my back on the Democratic party, captured and betrayed by Know-nothing dem agogues, hungry for places and sp.iils, to join the pure Democracy which struggles for the principles which the party organization has abandoned. I denounce the candidate whose only merit is his obscurity, that I may follow a statrsman whose life has made glori ous the historv of his country. I decline to bow down before a graven image, because I prefer to follow the teachings of an apostle of true political faith, preferring shining ability to dull mediocrity: the true retormer to the sham reformer the statesman to the hangman", the illustrious citizen to the political adventurer. I decline to support Cleveland for the Presi dency, and here and now. in the presence of a leader whom I have always regarded as my po litical sponsor in the midst of brethren and comrades with whom I shared many hard fought political fields, and before ttie eves of all the country to whom I have this ni'ght laid bare my motives and purposes, I declare myself in favor of Benj. F. Butler, the soldier," jurist, statesman and patriot, and I appeal to time for my vindication." [Prolonged cheers and applause.] w. noi'RKE casniuNE, who it was expected would also pronounce against Cleveland, followed Gradv. He said: "There is a duty which every Democrat lus to perform at tkc present crisis. He. must, subordinate his actions to the interest of his parly. No person contended more vigorously than I did against the nomination of Cleveland. No one opposes more earnestly the folly of passing over in silenee and indifference the heroes of the party in order to nominate a man who was forced UjMjn the attention of his party merely by the press and a few refractory Re publicans who had never failed to express their abhorenee of our principles and their contempt for ourselves. Had such a man as we wanted been nominated we would have given him a majority such as we arc asked to give Cleveland. near a cry of distress throughout the country, and that cry calls me to arms for the Democratic ticket. 1 y% 5 6 4 a 5 3 4 25 (tb 30 @17 00 Fine Green.

Marshalling- of the Foroes for the Great Political Struggle. Hendricks Opens the Bail at Tole do, Closely Followed by Logan. SHARP WORK AHEAD. TOLEDO, Sept. 11.—Gov. Hendricks ad dressed 4,500 people at the fair grounds yester day afternoon, the subject being, "Importance of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts." In the evening he spoke to a Democratic mass-meet ing in the Fifth ward. An audience of 3,000 was present. In the course of his speech he said: The Democrats declared In their platform that the revenue must be reduced to the re quirements of the trovernmcnt, economically administered. What do you say to that Are you a Democrat, a granger or Independ ent "whatcvcr may be your party relation, wiiat do you say to that! [Applause]. If you do not like that, don't vote with the Democ racy, for when the Democracy comes into pmver I undertake to say that the machinery will be turned for nwhilc—backward, did say! No, forward in favor of reform, reducing taxa tion to be wants of the government, economi cally administered. What are you going to collect any more for? [A voice: '•Stealing."] Why should we have extraordinary taxation twenty years after we have passed away from the coinlition of war! Passing from this subject, he said: The Ilcpublicans, under the leadership of the chieftains who are at their head, nave i.u» abandoned substantially their friends, the Germans, and are laying Hold of my Irish friends with a zi at absolutely beautiful. [Cheers]. What has the German done that he should be abandoned by the Republican party thus? The only fault I know of the German is that he says where he lived in Germany beside the Hhine lie had a right to decide for himself what he would eat and drink, and wherewithal he should be clothed. What snv rou, my German friends? Is pro hibition right or wrong? [A voice: "Wrong."] Wrong? Of course it is. In my state our Democracy have fought this battle well out upon the idea that whether a man shall take a drink of tieeror ivhiskv it belongs to himself. The governor then recited at length the Koszt.i case in the administration of Tierce, and the .NlcSweeney case in 1881, when Blaine was secretary of* state, as tending to stiow which party was the true friend of the foreign bora citizen. He closed with a strong appeal to the Democrats to carry Ohio in October, as that would decide the eoiitest iu November. TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 11.—Gen. John A. Logan was present this afternoon on the grounds of the inter-state fair association and made a speech to an audience of 7,000 or 8,000. He spoke about half an hour upon tlie com mercial, manufacturing and agricultural in terests of Ohio and their wonderful growth. Gen. Logan spoke at the League park to night to one of tlie largest audiences ever as sembled at a political meeting in this city. Previous to this meeting there was a parade of the Plumed Knights aud other Republican organizations, numbering nearly J,000 torches. Gov. Clias. Foster was present and opened the meeting with brief speech. afUr which Gen. I.ogan was introduced to the audience amid great cheers. Gen. Logan began by briefly rev ft-wing the HISTOltT OF THE ltEPl'Itl.ICAX AND DEMOCRATIC PARTIES, from I860 down to the present time, claiming that the only monument ereetcd bv the Dem ocratic party in this country hatf been its course in relation to free trade. "I will not say." said he. "that they are acting Ihe part of agents of the British government, but I do say. misguided though they are.that they performed the same service for the British government while they had the power iu this country that the lords "of Kngland would have performed if they had wats its the Congress of the United States of America." [Applause.] As another Democratic monument the speaker cited, he ntioned slavery and its attendant evils, in cluding the war. The Democratic party of the north and south had been a free trade" party. After tht war, when reunited they coutinucd to be a free trade party and becamc one in all things elgc, In reply to a portion of Gov. Hendricks' icecli last night, Gen. Logan said! "Mr. Ill ndriclis, last night, if he is correctly report 1 in tlie newspapers, stated to his party that the Republican party had been derelict in its dutv toward foreigners in our land, who had been permitted to sufTcr because of failure on the pa ft of the Republican party to perform their duty. Now, I am eorrv that Mr. Hen dricks made that statement. "Fof forty years, ns is well known to every reader of political historv in this countrv, and I speak of that time, because of the fact that the Democratic partv controlled this government nearlv all the time, foreign governments, led by England, announced the doctrine that once a citizen al ways a citizen. That THE DOCTRINE OP SELF-EXPATRIATIOX was not the correct doctrine: that a citizen did not thereby sever his allegiance froln the mother countrv, and if lie returned to his na tive land they had no control over him as a cit izen of their "own government. While the Dem ocratic party stood in control of this country for the length of time mentioned let my friend Hendricks point out one (tingle statute that was enacted by the Democratic party declaring that a citizen of the United States should lie miiected, whether he was native or foreign joi-n when he passed back to his native coun trv. Now I tell vsu to-night it was left for the Republican party in 1865, after the war hail concluded, to pass the law that a citizen of this country foreign lorn should be protected on his own mother soil in person and property the sine as if he were a native-born citizen, and never was that doctrine enunciated In a statute of tills country by the Democratic party, nor was it ever done until, as I said, the Republi can partv announced that doctrine, and it was because "of the fact that persons of foreign birth who had taken the oath of allegiance to this country, returned to their former homes and were impressed into the armv. Now, then, why should Gov. Hendricks say here last night that the Republican pa'ty had failed to per form its duty toward foreign-born citizen*! ining high office that he is make such a statement when he must kn«w that lie can be contradict ed by the vcrv statutes on'the books, and the date's given, 'that the Republican party per formed an act that hw claimed never was per formed bv thetn. "Let me return again to the fact, passing back to 1800 and 1801, aud speaking of the Di'inoiTiitic partv failing to support the Rc publican party in the proper way in sustaining tlie armies of the United states. I should like to call vour attention to the fact that when the proclamation was issued suppressing slavery in this -ountry the Democratic party everywhere opposed it in Congress, and out of Congress, and no act has ever been passed yet lit favor of human freedom, aud in favor of the libertv that God intended man should enjoy by the Democratic party in or out of Congress." [Applause.] The opposition of the Democratic party toward the amendments to the constitution, was further eitei in illustration. In replv to the statement by Gov. Ileniricks in his speech at the fair grounds yesterday as to the passage of the homestead act. Gen. Logan recited the history of these laws during Buchanan's administration. Said he: The homestead act was passed—and it was left to a Republican Congress 111 tlie administration of President Lincoln—to pass this bill, tttd the bill for lands given apicultural colleges was signed by Abraham Lincoln. Gen. Logan discussed at some length the tariff plank in the platform, insisting that it meant free trade, notwithstanding some Democrats claim to the contrary but he said, it was impossible to tell from the reading of the instrument itself what it meant, and he would propose to his frletid, Gov. Hendricks, that he refer it to the supreme court of the United States in order to obtain a proper construction of the instrument. [Laughter and applause.] Neither the letters oi the Democratic candi dates for President or"yice President interpret ed it. We were then compelled to go back to the history of the party itself to know what it meant. The party was a free trade party be fore the Wal', and When the southern states se ceded and established their confederacy and the confederate constitution, in section 8 it was provided "that no tariff should be levied to foster industries and no bounty should be had In other words they declared in favor of free trade, and the moment they did that they received the sympathy oi England not ouly the sympathy out the English furnished them with munitions of war, arms and ships to destroy this country. Why Because the eleven"seceding states would have been open to commerce and manufacturers, and it was for that reason, in my judgment, that England lent her support to the great rebellion against this country. The Democratic platform of 18S0 demanded a tariff for revenue only. The confederate constitution a tariff for the expense of the government only no tariff for the fostering of industries, and the platform of 1884 demands a tariff »nly for the economical administration of the government. They mean the same thing, the only difference being one was a constitution and the other a platform. In contradiction of this, Geo. Logan then proceeded to discuss the POSITION OF TUB REPUBLICAN PARTT OS THE TARIFF QUESTION, and to a discussion af this question the greater part of his speech was devoted. He closed his Bpcech with a brief discussion of the political situation at present in the southern states. Who Shall Own It? CHICAGO, 111., 8ept. 15.—The fight for the possession of the Chicago Times having «ome up in the probate court, Mr. Patterson's affi davit was filed, expressing readiness to have mentor the paper ipartial and compi the work.

A Plea for Barb Wire Fenoes. A correspondent of the Iowa Home stead writes: I want to ente.r my pro test against the complaints of certain sentimentalists that barb wire fence barbarous. Why of course it is it was intended to be. While there may be differences of opinion as to its value as a "Sister of Mercy Society" or as "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals," everybody knows that as a fence, there is nothing equal to barb wire. It will be noticed that of those who have indicted barb wire feuce the most have done so on the ground that their own stock was more or less maimed or mutilated. Now, these persons cer tainly know that the present barb wire was never invented for the owner's stock, but for his neighbors. If they want one for home use they can easily get a kind of a "home protection" wire, constructed with the inside smooth and the barbs all on the outside. And then, any farmer believes that the golden rule "Do unto other people's cattle as you would that other people should do unto yours" should be applied to stock matters, all he has got to do is to reverse the wire and turn the smooth side out. Of course there's one class of persons that we always expect to find opposing the barb wire fence, and that it is the class of fellows living on the clay banks and who can't raise watermelons and who, therefore have a predisposition of their neighbor's patch But this class is afraid to say much for fear it would criminate them. They are afraid peo ple would say of them, like they say of a man who rails against the "wheel of fortune" at the county fair, "he's tried it and found himself wanting." On the oilier hand, there is a class of citizens, equally large and more re spectable, who live on the sandy loam soil aud who raise the watermelons. And they are enthusiastically in favor of barb wire feace, because they know no man, however supple, was ever yet able to get over one, when hard press ed, without leaving a piece of the hem of his garment big enough to identify him. No discovery has ever yet soothed more anxious hearts or brought from exile "balmy sleep" to more swollen eyes tli an the discovery of "Barb Wire Fence." Formerly there was no more fruitful cause insomnia or sleepless ness among fanners than uneasiness as to whether his fences were "all right." At night he was either tossed about by apprenensions that the board fence was not strong enough or the worm fence was not high enough or that the cattle had gotten a "rider" off, or he fell into a fitful sleep only to be tor mented by dreams of invasions of the corn or a stampede in the wheat. Now he can sleep as securely as though en closed by moat and walls. Formerly, if the farmer went shop ping long enough for his wife to buy a pair of garters and get her last yeafs bonnet upholstered, and there came up the least "blow" he was in a fever ish hurry to get home for fear "some thing would get in the corn." Now he can put some "sheaf oats" in the wagon for the team, and take his fami ly and go to the circus and stay all day. Formerly, if he happened to hurry off some morning to get his wife's city relations to the train, and forgot to lay the "top bar" up, here came the cows of that miserly heathen that shaves himself and pastures his cattle in the lanes, and when he came home he found the Brahma hen's "setin' of eggs" broken up, the bottom eaten out of the salt barrel, the clothes' line down and one blanket looking like it had been swallowed. Yes, sir, I'm in favor of barb wire, steel-pointed and extra line. Of course, if a fellow's got on a linen duster that buttons up behind and he's cutting cross-lots to get to the school picnic for the "first table," he runs some risk, but then he should get over the fence tenderly and not be too rash. The old rail-fence, while it was safe, as a "summer resort" was too exhaus tive to the hired hand's pants, and this expense will be saved altogether by the use of tlie wire variety, tlie employ er thereby gaining more hours work in a day. Taking it all in all, if they could only invent some way for getting a woman with a gossamer over a barb wire fence in time for the 2 o'clock accommodation, I'd be satisfied. But as it is, I don't believe thern's any fence that "combines so many good points." Farm Axioms. From the Western Plowman: Let him plow deep who hath not a shallow mind.

Proportion of Foreign-Born Oltl zens—The Colored Vote*$l INTERESTING FIGURES. WASHINGTON, D. C., September 18.— In view of the probably close vote in numbers of the states in tlie coming Presidential election, some facts and figures recently obtained hero regard ing the voting population in those states are especially interesting. This is particularly the case in those states where the foreign element, the colored element or any other special class of voters arc expected to have much to do in turning the scale, one way or tho other. The figures given here are estimntes of the voters based upon the actual number as shown by the census, but increased by the rate of growth which the Census Office estimates "un officially" that the population has In creased about twelve per cent since the census was taken in 1880. Estimating the increase of votes at the same ratio, it is found that the number of male in habitants, twenty-one years of age and over,in the United States, omitting the territories, is in round numbers, 14,000,000. Of this number 9,000,000 are native white, 3,500,000 foreign born, and 1,5000,(K)0 are oolored. Of course the colored vote is almost ex clusively Republican. It is the foreign vote which is this year attracting most attention. The state having the larg est foreign vote is New York, which has 600,000 foreign-born males over twenty-one years of age. Next in the list, comes Illinois and Pennsylvania with 300,000 each. A good deal is said about the German vote in Ohio, but, in fact, it stands fourth in the list of foreign-born voters, having but 200, 000 of that class. Wisconsin has near ly as many the number being but a fraction below 200,000. Massachusetts and Michigan have nearly 200,000* each California, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri about 130,000 each. The State with the largest number of color ed voters is Georgia, which has nearly 150,000 males above twenty-one years of age. Mississippi has nearly as many, and Virginia has 130,000. West Virginia has a less number of colored voters than is generally sup osed, the number being no more than ,000 or 8,000. Taking the doubtful states in their alphabetical order, Connecticut has 56,000 foreign voters out'of a total of a population of 200,000. Probably con siderably more than fifty per cent of the foreign voters of this state are Irish. Whether or not they are for Blaine this time, as has been claimed, can be better told after the election. This statement is intended to deal really with the facts and not with ques tions as to- how different nationalities will vote. Florida, which is consider ed by some to be a doubtful state, has about 70,000 voters, .of whom nearly one-half are colored, and 4,000 foreign born. The foreign-born vote of Flori da is largely Cuban and is very un certain in its vote usually, however, Democratic. Illinois, which has been called a doubtful state, has over 760, 000 voters, of which 300.000 are foreign born* and 15,000 colored. Among the foreign-born citizens of Illinois the German and Irish are about eaual in numbers, with a small sprinkling of Norwegian, French and Italian. Maryland, which has been spoken of as possibly a doubtful state, has 250 000 voters 50,000 of them colored and 40,000 foreign-born. Massachusetts has 550,000 voters—about 190,000 of them foreign-born and 6,000 or 7,000 colored The majority of foreign-born in that state are Irish. In New Jersey there are 330,000 voters 10,000 colored and 100,000 foreign-bora probably more than 50 per cent of the foreign clement being from Ireland. .New York has 1,500,000 voters, 600,000 be ing foreign-born, the majority, of whom are from the Emerald Isle. There are also in that state over 20,000 colored voters. North Carolina has in its 300,000 voting population 120,000 colored voters. South Carolina, which has 225,000 votes, has 125,000 colored and 4,000 foreign-born. Ohio, out of 900,000 voters, has 200,000 foreign-bora and nearly 25,000 oolored. The large majority of the foreign-born element of Ohio is German. Pennsylvania, al though perhaps not in the list of doubt ful states, is worthy of mention in this cpnnection because it is the only one, besides New York, which has over 1, 000,000 voters. It has 1,000,000, about 360,000 of them being of foreign birth and 25,000 colored. Tennessee which has 300,000 voters, has about 90,000 colored voters and 10,000 of foreign birth. Virginia has out of 370,000 votes 140,000 colored and 10, 000 of foreign birth. West Virginia has 150,000 voters, 10,000 of them foreign-born and 7,000 colored. Wis consul has over 200,000, a largo pro portion being Germans and a consider able percentage Scandinavians. The eolored vote in Wisconsin is very small, being no more than 8»000 out of tb© 400,000 voters in that state. The.state with the smallest number of voters is Nevada, which supposing to have in creased double the general ratio, will have in the selection less than 40,000 voters, while Delaware has but 45,000 Oregon but 70.000 and Rhode Island S|0|X Natioiai -A VnttMl Slaut iii CAPITAL, "rij jt little over 75,000. Painting Shingled Roofls. More shingle roofs are painted now than ever before in the history of build ing in this country. It is mostly seen in citie- and suburban towns, although in the country it is by no means rare. Considerable inquiry has led to the con clusion that many have their roofs painted to add to their appearance, which in many cases it certainly does, while others labor under the impres sion that the paint acts as. a preserva tive to the shingles The latter are probably right, provided the p»int renewed a8 often as It needs to be. If ,, the roof is allowed to remain with the paint partly worn off the shingles will retain more molsturc»and consequently decay sooner than they would were they not painted at all. On the score of durability, however, little 9an be^galn ed in cost by painting.
