New York, Oct. 19. — A special from Bal
timore to the Tiiiics: The Butler movement
has gone to smash, owing to positive inform
ation having come to the knowledge of the '
head of the organization here that Butler is I
acting under orders of the Republican na
tional committee, and has his expenses paid
by the Republicans, who control his move- ,
ments. A few days ago Gen. W. H. Parsons,
who is chairman of the national Greenback
labor committee of Maryland went to New
York to get Butler to come here and speak.
He was referred to the Butler managers in
New York by the Republican, committee. He
went to the committee, and was told that the
Republicans could not afford to send Butler
to Maryland, as it was not a doubtful state,
and they had do money to spare in experi
ments. What Gen. Parsons learned in New
York he tells in a letter, to be published, in
the course of which be says:
"Step by step, after persistant effort and
awaiting the movements and decisions of
(Jen. Butler and bis political managers, and !
careful observations "of the movements and
decisions of Mr. Blame and bis political man
agers, we are forced to announce with all the
responsibility of our ollieial obligation to
those whom we represent that we have most
unexpectedly unearthed the deepest political
intrigue in the history of presidential
campaigns, and that Gen. Butler is
using us and those who sympathize with the
principles be assumes to champion, labor
finance, solely for the purpose of defeating
Mr. Cleveland in New York by drawing to
himself a sufficient number of voter- V-ri'to
fore Democrats to secure its thirty-six elec
toral votes (or Mr. Blame."
George Stewart, the head of the Butler
movement here, made the following state
ment to-night:
••I am very Bony to say that the bottom
has fallen out of the labor movement. Gen.
Parsons has taken Considerable interest in
the movement. Be is a Knight of Labor,
and hailed Butler's nomination with joy, es
pecially as lie has been a member of the con
vention when Butler voted ho many times
for Jefferson Davis. Gen. Parsons went to
New York to secure Butler's attendance at
a labor meeting to be held here. He called on
Col. Noah Plympton and Mr. Fowler. Butler's
lieutenants. The latter said that Plympton
was in Indianapolis, nut it transpired after
ward be was in western Massachusetts.
When charged with the falshood by a friend,
Fowler became very indignant. Gen.
Parsons then waited in New York for two
weeks in order to sec Butler himself. The
latter said he was in the bands of Fowler and
Plympton. As Gen. Parsons wits about to
leave he was told that the Bepublican Na
tional committee desired to see him.
Calling upon them be was told that the com
mittee controlled the movements of Gen.
Butler and bad aright to say where he should
speak, Inasmuch as they paid his expenses.
They thought it possible that they might per
mit Butler to speak in Baltimore after the
Ohio election. Gen. Parsons, becoming dis
gusted, broke off all negotiations. He is con
vinced that Butler is not running
in the Interest of laboring men.
but has sold out to Biaine in
order to avenge himself upon Cleveland.
The Republicans propose to keep him en
tirely in New York. New Jersey and such
northern states as arc naturally Democratic
or doubtful, in order to draw votes from
Cleveland. They also have no intention of
endeavoring to break the solid south. In
fact they prefer to keep the solid south, as
they deem that the best way to hold the
north within the Republican ranks is to
arouse and intensify sectional feeling.
The Butler party was to put an electoral
ticket in the field next Wednesday night.
The meeting will not now be held.
Butler's Denial^
Syracuse, Oct. 19.— Gen. B. F. Butler tel
egraphs to-night from Batavia as follows re
garding the statement of one Parsons, of
Baltimore, in the New York Time* awl Brook-*
lyn Eagle, that the Republican national com
mittee bad paid the expenses of the Butler
campaign, and therefore controlled his
movements:
"1 have read Parsons' statement. There
Is not one work of truth in it. He applied j
to me some weeks aso for money
the organize Maryland, and I
declined. I told him my plan of campaign
bad been placed in the bands of Mr. Piymp- ■
ton. whom 1 warned against him. After
wards 1 refused to see Parsons. Plympton
told me be had refused to have anything to
do with him. 1 had heard of Parsons be
fore, and that lie was a fraud. I found a
letter from Mr. Boron, marshal of Maryland,
a member of the national committee of the
Peoples party, of that state, asking me to
come to Baltimore, to which I replied this
BBOrning, putting him in communication with
Mr. 1' \ m] I •:■. and referred the letter to him
to see if be could not find occasion so 1 could
go to Baltimore, as some chance h*d been
made in my engagements In Ohio which
might give an opportunity. This was done
lea hours before I bad seen Parsons article in

Ai-baxt, New York.. Oct. 19. — CarlSchurx
addressed ■ large mass meeting of German-
Americans and Independents last eveninsr.
Fully 2,500 were present The mcetiug was
organized and officered by Republicans, all I
of whom will support Clevclaud.
A letter was read from ex-Senator I
Matthew Hale, a prominent lawyer, \
and always heretofore a staunch Re- |
publican, declaring against BLaice j
and in favor of Cleveland. After earnest •
reflection, be says he has reached the conclu- :
»ion that the so-called "Plumed Knight*' is a !
false knight, untruthful, deceitful and un- i
sound, utterly and conspicuously unfit to hold
«*«« -aw first filled by one "who could not j
JDaihi # (KlnbE.
tell a lie," and in mora recent times by one
whom the American people respected as
"Honest Old Abe." Mr. Hale says he can
not . conceive a greater misfortune to
our country, than the election to
the presidency of such a man
as Blame. The great question, infinitely
more important than the tariff or material
growth is the question : Shall office be held
as a trust for the benefit of the whole people
or as a means of acquiring wealth for an
office holder and his friends. In conclusion
he wrote: "Upon this question we see Jas.
G. Blame and Gtover Cleveland on opposite
sides. We in Albany know how faith
fully and firmly Mr. Cleveland,
as the governor of this
state, has maintained the right side of this
question. We who have witnessed his quiet
and ostentatious life here, aud his con
stant devotion to the duties of his office,
know how vile are the slanders which the
baser of his enemies are industriously sow
ing broadcast through the land. Though we
who are Republicans regret that he is a
Democrat, we rejoice to know that he is an
honest and independent man."
Again "My Dear Fisher."
(Special Telegram to the Globe.]
New YORK, Oct. 19. —Warren Fisher lias
given to the public some more very interest
ing and Important letters from Blame to him
in 187(5, when the Plumed Knight was M
fortunately "sunstiuck" Curing the oongrea
sional investigation into his Little Rock
deals. They are as follows:
[Private.]
Augusta, Saturday evening, July I, 1876. —
My Dear Mr. Fisher : I write from my
sick bed. I want very much to
see you. lam very sorry you did not come to
Washington when I requested. Can't yon come
to Augusta by train Monday? Express train
leaves eastern station at 9 o'clock, reaching here
at 4p. in. You can return same evening, or if
you can't conic by 9 o'clock train, there is a
train that leaves at 12 or 12:30 noun and get here
about lip. m. Yon can return the same night.
Do come quickly. Say nothing to anyone. But
do come. Yours sincerly, James G. Blaise. ,
(See over.) Important to you as well as myself
that you come, '.:•*■■'./*
[On the other side : |
Don't let any human being except your wife
know yon are coming down, but do not fail to
come. Whatever you do, do not fail. You will
regret it if you don't come.
On the following day Biaine wrote again as
follows:
Augusta, Sunday evening, July 2. 1870. —
My dear Mr. Fisher: If you have not started
when this reaches you, 1 pray you leave for
Angnsta at once lam very sick, but I know
what lam talking about, and, it is largely for
your sake that I desire to see you, and to Me
you at once. Don't delay. It may be too late.
Don't refuse a sick man. J. G. B.
You can tio back on return train. ' One hour
will do here. Come directly to my bouse.
Don't go to a hotel.
"It was an outrage," said Mr. Warren
Fisher, "that Mr. Blame should have taken
those letters in the way he did. Mr. Mulli
gan has never forgiven him and he never
will. Nothing within Mr. Blame's power to
give a promise could have bribed or induced
him to give up the remaining documents,
which he held with the tenacity of
a terrier. Mr. Blame's denial that he
over offered to pay Mulligan for those letters
is absolutely false. When in 18S0, just be
fore the convention, he sent for me through
Elisha Atkins to come and see him in New
York, I went and we had a long conference
at the Fifth Avenue hotel. He then asked
me what I thought Mulligan would take to
give up the letters he still held. I told him
that I did not believe there was enough
money in the country to buy them. He
told me that he was willing to pay any
price, but that he must have them. I asked
how much he would pay. He said, "any
thing, but get them." I said: "Well.there
must be some limit," and this was what
prompted him to name $10,000 as the sum
that would be forthcoming in the honor of
Mr. Cummlugs, Elisha Atkins partner, for
the return of the letters then in
Mulligan's possession. I came back
to Boston and laid Mr. Blame's offer
before Mr. Mulligan, but he was immovable.
He spurned the proposition, and seemed? to
be more settled than ever in his determina
tion to hold the letters."
It has generally been considered that the
settlement between Blame and Fisher in
September, 1872, included the return of all
the correspondence. But Mr. Fisher
to-day said that no such re
turn was contemplated. The
settlement related to their money differences
entirely, ahd was completed by inter;-;
of receipts. It was found that Mr. Blame
was Owing 138,000 to Mr. Fisher, and the in
debtedness was met by notes. Fisher an 1
Mulligan were therefore rightfully and hon
orably the possessors of Mr. Blame's corres
pondence.
The In<lt'!H'iiiiili-!it Revolt.
[Special Telegram to the Globe.]
New Your, Oct. 19. — The Independent
New York state committee has just com
pleted a thorough canvass of the state in
order to ascertain by actual figures the real
strength of the Independent movement.
The result surpasses the expectations of the
most sanguine Cleveland men. The numer
ical strength of the Republican revolt in this
state, outside of the cities of New York an.i
Brooklyn, is shown to be 130,000. The can
rasa of this city and Brooklyn la not yet
completed. Of course they will add very
largely to the number of dis
affected Republicans who will vote
for Grover Cleveland on Nov. 4.
Brooklyn itself is the very stronghold of the
Independent movement. The influence
there of Henry Ward Beecber will greatly
augment the strength of the revolt. Said
the chairman of the Independent committee:
"There is no doubt whatever that the gov
ernor will come down to the Harlem britlire
with a majority. If there is no Democratic
disaffection, or if what feeling there is against
Cleveland does not cost him 50,000 votes,
he will carry the state by a
large majority. We have no means
Of estimating either Cleveland's strength or
weakness in other directions. Since the
campaign opened we have dealt exclusively
with the Independents. There is no doubt
that 75,000 Republicans will go over to the
governor direct. Perhaps 50 per cent, of
the remainder will give St. John a vote.
Many of them will either Stay at home or
content themselves with voting local tickets.
It must, be understood that our calculations
have no reference whatever to the two great
cities." ■. ;\C'";
"You think the Republican bolt thai y«j.ir
is almost as extensive as that which buried
Mr. Folger?''
'•The figures will show that to be the case
upon election day, providing the Democrats
can hold their party vote. Of course, it is
impossible to say what changes in the situa
tion may occur between this time and the
4th of November, bet if the people were to
goto the polls on Tuesday next it would be
found that the feeling against Blame is sub
stantially a duplicate, of thai which over
whelmed Mr. Folger. So far as iU
results are concerned. Of course the origin
of the feeling in this case is very different to
that which roused the party two years ago,
but the consequence to the candidate will be
the same, unless the situation changes quite
materially before the ballot boxes are in posi
tion. . N.

state, and has had sufficient experience as a
campaigner to give his views some weight.' He
thinks the Republicans seriously injured
themselves by making claims about Ohio im
mediately after the election there which were
not fulfilled when the returns began to come
in. In every town in which he has made a
I speech he has found a spirit prevailing which
has not been manifested in any presidential
year sinc^ ISsG with one exception — during
the . . Tiiden campaign. He finds I
that ' the Irish vote has lost ;
but little of its loyalty to the party
and thinks that the claims made by the But
ler men are rather amusing. He believes
that Mr. Butier will be doing very well if he
gets 15,000 votes in Brooklyn and New
York, and is quite satisfied that St. John will
| more than make good whatever inroads upon
i the Democratic vote may be made by the
j Massachusetts statesman. This, he submits,
! will make the disaffected Republicans vote |
for Cleveland a clear gain and will Insure I
him a clean majority of 100,000 in the state.
Foljper's Opinion of Itlaine.
[Special Telegram to the Globe,]
■VVAsinxGTOX,D.C.,Oct.I9. — The New York
Blmine and Logan organ is trying to offset ,
the effect of James B. Butler's statement M
garding the late Secretary Folger's opinion I
j of Blame, by publishing a statement from
; Mr. Burrell, superintendent of the bureau of
engraving and printing, of a contradictory
; character. It is true that Mr. Burrell was a
j friend of the secretary, but everybody in
Washington knows that there was no such
intimacy between them as there was between
Secretary Folger and Mr. Butler. Every
; body acquainted with the treasurer
j for the last three years knows how absurd it
j is to offset Butler's statement of what he
knew by Burrell's statement of what he did
; uut know. Butler has said that Judge Folger
I told him that he believed Blainc wished him
i beaten two years ago, and wrote a
letter to Dick Harrington, which was
printed during the. campaign, for
the express purpose of leading - his
friends in New YorK to vote again Folger
or not to vote. Mr. Butler having stated
this, nothing that Mr. Burrell can state is of
j any account. There is no sort of comparison
of the means the two men had of knowing
! Judge Folger's opinions, besides Mr. Butler
has ceased to be an officeholder, and Mr.
Burrell is still a Republican officeholder.
Dudley to "Soap" Indiana.
[Special Telegram to the Globe .J
Washington*, Oct. 19. — The tactics that
the Republicans employed in Ohio they are
going to repeat in Indiana. Commissioner
Dudley is going there, and on his native
| heath will be able to accomplish a great deal
more than he did In Ohio, where he and his
subordinates put in a good deal' of work,
though they did not do all the mighty things
that the Democratic ' pres3 charged.
By the way, it is reported, on fur
ther good authority, that Deputy an*d
Acting Commissioner Clark has declined to
approve the pay rolls of the pension office
employes whom Commissioner Dudley took
to Ohio with him, # and there is a prospect
that Col. Dudley will have to perform that
ceremony himself. In Indiana Commis
sioner Dudley know 3 every foot of the
ground, having really done four years, ago
most of the work for which Dorsey got the
credit, which he took good care to appropri
ate to himself, not because he was there, but
because -he had business reasons
for wishing the grand old party
to feel itself under - obliga
| tions to him. There are only four cities in
i Indiana large enough to have deputy mar
shals, but those cities will be liberally sup
plied, and it is intended to have the deputy
marshals shoot a few Democrats early in the
day, by way of preserving order and render
ing the polls a little too exciting
for timid persons whose politi
cal opinions could not secure
for them the protection for the deputy mar
shals. The Republicans will have a good
deal of money to spend in Indiana, and
they will spend it. All the Republican re
sources will be concentrated in New York
and Indiana, and Indiana will get a very
liberal share of attention. It is true that
Oiiio cost the 'publicans a good deal of
money, but they are bleed
ing the manufacturers, who are
deeply interested in protection,
and the success in Ohio makes the money
come easier. The Clapp-Raum committee
has issued another appeal to the clerks, and
it will get a good deal of money. The Ohio
Victory brought a good deal of money into
the Clapp-Raum treasury before the appeal
for more money was put forth and more will
come in now. The app reminded
the clerks that the Ohio snecess
did not decide the presidency,
though Republican newspapers have been
insisting that it did — that the November elec
tions will cost a good deal of money, that
Republican defeat will put executive power
into the hands of a party that "shove no
mercy to Republicans." This is a hint that
the Republican clerks can understand, and
tl rearer the election approaches the more
jai^ js they have been on this point. The
§dpnl>iieans feel that they may win without
New York, but that they must have Indiana,
and the campaign there will be the Ohio
campaign over again, only a little more no.
l:i:»iu<-'« Speech at South Rend. .
South Bend, Ind., Oct. 19.— The follow
ing i* Mr. Blame's speech at South Bend:
Men of Indiana — The straggle in all hn
man society is first for bread. There Is no
use in propounding fine theories to a man
«ho is hungry; (here is no use in commend- i
in C a political principle to one who is in j
need of shelter; there is no use in talking '
philosophy to oue who is naked. Food anil
clothing arc the primary requirement* of :
human society, the primary elements of hu
■an progress, ami to secure this you mu?t
i put the people in the way of earning good [
wages. I never saw any man moved
to enthusiasm by silently contemplating the
prosperity of another, while tie himself was
in need. To move him you vant to mike
I him feel hie own prosperity. The begin
-1 ning, therefore, and the end of wise legisla
-1 tion, i? to give every man a fair and equal
i ch.ißco. and to leave the race of life open and
free for all. What aireney will best accom- !
plish that! What legislation will most tend j
to that end? Certainly it will not tend to i
that end to throw open ocr ports and *ay,
' "send ye all here your fabrics, made by the ;
I cheapest and most distressed labor of" Eu- j

are just opening their shops |
t and building their factories, for if
you do that you cannot spin a wheel . or turn !
' a lathe in these factories at home unless you i
i can get your labor at the European price. •
We begin right there. From these consid
erations we deduce, the . conclusion that the j
! protective tariff is primarily for the beuefit |
of the working men. because if you take in i
your hand any manufactured article, or cast
your eye upon anything which cannot be i
taken in the hand, you find that the chief j
constituent element in its cost is labor. la I
many cases the .material is but 1 per cent,
and the labor is 99 per cent, In
i the cost of the article. There
! fore, all legislation of a protective
' character is and must be mainly for the ben
: efit of labor, because labor is the principal j
I element in the cost of the fabric. Hence if •
i there be snv man who is pre-eminent'yand I
; above all others interested in the tariff it is •
the laboring man. If you compere the two
great political parties in relation to this qne»
--t lion roc ua4 that the Republican party lives, [
moves, breathes and has its being in protec
tion. A protect! tariff was one of the first
fruits of the election of Mr. Lincoln. We
have bad it for twenty years -on the statute
books, with various amendments which have
been added from time to time to make it more
protective, and the result is that all history,:
ancient, modern and medieval, may be
challenged lor a national progress like unto
that we have made since IS6I. . I am merely
reciting the facts and. figures of your asses
sor's books and or the United States census
tables, when I say that in the last twenty-live
years of the history of this country we have
added more wealth, double . over, than we
had acquired from the discovery of the con
tinent by Columbus down to ths election of
Abraham Lincoln. There must have been:
some peculiar and potent agent at work to |
produce this great result. That agent
was the protective tariff, operating to nerve
the arm of labor and reward it | fairly and
liberally. Whether that policy shall be con
tinued, or whether it shall be abandoned, is
the controlling issue of this campaign. All,
other questions are laid aside for the time.
There are many which are worthy of con
sideration, but two weeks from, next Tues
day we shall have an election in every state
in the Union to determine, ,\vith reference
to the question, the character of the next
congress and the future policy of the gov
ernment You have before you the Republican
party, pledged to sustain the productive tar
iff, and illustrating that pledge by a specific
and consistent, example extending through
the last twenty-three years. You have, on
the other hand, the Democratic party which
in fifty-one years, since 1833, has never in a
single instance voted for protection, and
never controlled a congress that it did not
oppose protection. I say, therefore, to the
laboring men and the mechanics, some
may do me the honor to listen,
your unions, your leagues, all those
associations which you haye forme;! for your
own advantage and your own ■"advancement
are well and proper in their way. It is your
right to have them and to administer them
as you choose, but they are not as strong as
a rope of sand against, the ill-paid labor of
Europe if you take away the protective tariff
which is now your background . and support.
So do not be delude! by the idea that you
can dispense with the protective tariff and
substitute for it your labor unions. I do
not district yodft attention . with any
other question, I not stop to dwell upon
the great issues that have been made and
settled by the Republicans within the last
twenty-three years. That party has made a
deeper and more glorious imprint in history
than any other political organization that
ever was charged with a great responsibility,
and it is the patriotic pride of every man
who has belonged to it, that he has belonged
to it and has shared its labors, its responsi
bilities, its triumphs, its honors.
McSweeney Speaks.
The New York paper* of Saturday morning
gave the speech made Friday evening by
Daniel MeSweeney, the famous Irish sus
pect, at the New York academy, to a very
large audience. The following is a synopsis
of Mr. McSweeney's speech:
Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens: . I thank
you from the bottom of my heart for the warm
welcome you have given me. lam inexperi
enced in the arts of speech of • which we have
just had such a brilliant example, but there are
limes when the diffident summon confidence and
the outraged heart finds confidence in convincing
tones. lam here to relate the story of the cruel
injustice indicted upon me by the English gov
ernment, and, what I feel much more keenly,
the manner in which a naturalized American cit
izen was. abandoned to that injustice when I ap
pealed to .lames O. Blame and bis subordinate,
the American minister to the English court,
James Russell Lowell. In accordance with the
advice of my physician, I left San Francisco in
the year 1877, and moved with my family to Ire
land, solely oa account oi .my health. Mr.
Blame now says that he will protect those who
go abroad on a lawful errand. I went on a law
ful errand, and always expressed my intention of
returning as soon as I regained my health.
MY FIRST ACT •
on taking up my temporary residence there was
to hoist the American flag over my dwelling, and
on every subsequent day that was suitable for
the American nag to be hoisted in the United
States — for instance, the Fourth of July, the Bth
of January, and the -'id ol February to show
my love for my adopted country. The deputy
lord lieutenant of the county lived' opposite my
house, and on seeing the flag inquired why I did
those things. "Did you not come here to live
among us and are you not one of us?"
No, I said, I came here to remain temporarily,
and expect to be protected by this flag. I re
fused to vote at their elections, or take any part
in their political affairs, though repeatedly urged
to do so, giving my reason that I was an Ameri
can citizen. I was summoned to serve as a juror,
and I refused on thu time ground. For this re
fusal I was fined, and paid the fines under pro
test on two occasions. I was carefully watched
by the government, a detective being appointed
to dog my every step. Under an oppres
sive and unconstitutional law I was
SEIZED IN THE DEAD HOUR OF THE NIGHT,
torn from my family while suffering from a
severe attack of illness, dragged . a distance of
two hundred mile?, and lodged in a cold, damp
dungeon in Dundaik jail, where I endured seven
teen or eighteen month.-*" imprisonment without
trial by judge or jury, without charge or accusa
tion.
As I said before. in going to Ireland and tak
ing up a temporary residence there, I believed
that the American government would protect me
in the rights guaranteed to the citizens of this
Republic. On the night of my arrest, my little
tin year-old boy ran oat and hoisted this em
blem of liberty (displaying a small Americas flag)
and *houted to the police: "If you take my pa
you will suffer for it yet." On the very after
noon that I entered Dundnlk jail I sent for the
American vice consul at Belfast, bid my case
before him. claimed protection' as an American
citizen, denied emphatically having been guilty
of any crime, demanded the cause of my arrest,
and, if there was any charge against me, to be
confronted with my accusers and have an im
mediate trial, a* was my right under international
law. That gentleman, *>!r. Sims, communicated
at once with Mr. Lowell, our representative at
tho court of St. .).vnr-, and Mr. Lowell answered
that my case had been
REFERRED TO HIS '-DBA« GRAN VI ME."
Four months passed sway, during which I re
mained in jail, and I heard nothing of him. On
August 3. iSU, my wife wrote a letter from
Ireland to Mr. Blaioe himself, asking that the
department of state see justice done to me. and
ttating all the circumstances concerning my ar
rest. This letter was receive.! i?. Washington

President Garfleid was lying ill from the effects
of Guiteau'a pi.-tnl .-sot. but Mr. Blalne. who

secretary of Mate, took ao notice of her appeal,
acid n-'u-i-il to interfere.
Tbe speaker then gave the voluminous corres
pondence bstween himself. Mr. Lowell, and Lord
GranviHe. The latter declined to interfere in i
his behalf. Itemising; Mr. MeSweeney »aid:

appear that a new departure in international re- I
lations of the American state department was '
made manifest to the British home office, and I
received my unconditional release at the hands
of the lord lieutenant, acd once more regained
my liberty. Then it was that I learned that even
tbi» tardy action • n tbe part of the Republican
administration at Washington was only ender
taken when it vm» made manifest by the elo
quence of Mr. Hoc: and by the counties* indig
cation meetings held throughout the United
States that the people of the foiled States did
cot Indorse the action of -fame » G. B]aloe &ad I
James Re -sell Lowell in their ideas
of the richt* of Americas citizen*, and
that my indignant fellow citizens - demanded the •
unconditional release of Americana imprisoned
in Ireland. Lately, to ay amusement, I learned
that a few of my fellow countrymen in tbe
United States were being deluded into voting for
James G. Biaine. the man who was
«T OFFICIAL 2x11.Tß
dorms those eigbtee* acaths. I fcsme&iatelj de
termined. at any sacrifice, to come back to my
adopted country and lay, before my countrymen
the ■ jhanietul treatment ? I ; bad received at the
hands of James G. Biaine and his subordinate,
Lowell. I have to-night laid before you the
plain story of my. wrongs, and I leave It to the
good sense of •my fellow countrymen to say
whether, after hearing the story of how an Amer
ican citizen of Irish birth has been treated by
Sir. James G. -Blame, when he had the power to
protect me, I leave it to their common sense to
bay whether they will trust him In the future with
the power to again assist' the British government
in administering the outrageous and tyrannical
provisions of the coercion act on their unfortu
nate countrymen in the beautiful island which
they all claim as their motherland.
.It is ssid that the administration of James Q.
Bialne will insist that every American in foreign
lands who has been accused of an offense, or is
sought to be pressed into the . military service of
the land he abjured when he became an American
citizen shall be given a fair and immediate trial;
that he shall be given an opportunity to use his
own means in his own defense, and that the
nearest American consul or minister (hall be in
formed immediately of any man who is or claims
to be an American citizen, that the power of the
government may be used to secure for him com
plete and immediate justice. But did Mr. Blame
carry out this policy in my regard? I am a living
witness that he did not. In my case he was
aware that I had committed no crime. I was an
American citizen beyond all question, proof of
which I famished to him. I committed no act
at home or abroad by which 1 forfeited my right
to claim protection; but did he enforce this doc
trine in my case! No. On the contrary he
B At ELY DESEKTED ME
and indorsed the views of Mr. Lowell, who said
that naturalized citizens had no rights that Eng
land was bound to respect.
Now in conclusion I call on you to requite at
the ballot box in November the indignities which
Mr. Biaine heaped on all naturalized citizens of
whatever nationalities by the treatment I and my
fellow Irish-American suspects received at his
hands when we asked for the protection guarao
teed us by our oath of citizenship.
Address of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Headquarters National Democratic Com
mittee, No. 11, West Twenty-fourth Street,
Oct. 10, ISS4.— To the People op the United
States: The result of the elections on Tuesday
last in the states of Ohio and West Virginia is
before you. Ohio chose Republican electors in
1863, 1872, 1876, and 18S0. West Virginia chose
Republican presidential electors in 137 Gaud
138' J. Garfleld obtained a plurality in 1830 of
34.327 votes. The Republican candidate in the
late election for secretary of state was a gallant
soldier and a reputable man. The vote of the
Republican party in that electi in was broken
down by the weight of Mr. lilaine, a factional
seeker after the presidency. The people then
elected a Democratic majority of the congres
sional delegation of the state. We may confi
dently expect a majority in Ohio for Cleveland
and lleudriclfs in November. West Virginia
has by its splendid and decisive majority for a
Democratic governor at the October election al
ready declared its purpose to give Its electoral
vote for our candidate in November. The Biaine
managers
EMPLOYED EXTRAORDINARY METHODS
in both states. They expended not less than
5500,000 in Ohio and more than $100,000 in West
Virginia in their political work. They did not
use money only. They called from every state
the officeholders best fitted to do the work at
which they were put, They crowded these two
states with such men. They employed on poli
tical jobs the men engaged in the postal service
of the United States. They left the veterans
who had saved the life of the nation without
the pay to which they were entitled, under the
pretense of having an insufficient clerical force
in the" pension bureau, and then used the com
missioner of pensions and a great number of his
clerks as parts of the political machinery in the
late elections in Ohio and West Virginia. It ha*
been openiy. charged without denial, that the
payment of the veterans by the commissioner of
pensions has been delayed by him for the pur
pose of coercing them to vote for Biaine. These
abuses of political power have been committed
under the overlooking eye of Mr. Biaine and
with his full sanction. They show the manner
in which if he were elected public offices would
be subordinated to his personal service and the
bounty of the country be made the means of
advancing his personal interests. They made
the marshals of the United States and their
deputies, who ought to be guardians of the
rights of every citizen of the United States, a
part of their machine force.
t::. ARMED them,
and incited them to violence and outrage. They
expect to pay for the weapons and services of
these men out of the tieasury of the United
States. They made Mr. Biaine one of their
county and ward workers in Ohio and West Vir
ginia, and he centered with zest upon the famil
iar duties. They devised with his knowledge
methods of compeling workmen to vote as their
employers dictated. They kept him in daily as
sociation with the- worst elements of their politi
cal organization. They made him their counselor
in every disreputable plan which they devised to
promote bis success. He could not have been a
stranger to their purpose to make gains in Cin
cinnati at the election on Tuesday last by using
armed deputy marshals and armed negroes to
drive voters from the polls. The methods of
their campaign in Ohio and West Virginia and
the chare of their candidate in those methods
have added to the opprobrium already resting
upon bis Dame, and have assured his defeat at
the general election in November.
Mr. Blame has been a member of the hodfe of
representatives, a senator in congress, and a sec
retary of state of the United States. He has been
nil or CORRUPTLY I SI. NO
his influence as speaker and as a member of the
house of representatives for his individual profit.
Hie misconduct has been proved by his own let
ter). These have confronted him wherever he
ha» gone. He attempts no explanation. The
phrases cf these letters are bo well known that
they are by-words on the streets and jests upon
the stage. As speaker of the house of rcprcsen
talives or a member of that house who would
barter his influence for money or property might
avail himself of the larger opportunities which
the office end powers of a president afford.
These are not words dictated by party rancor.
They win up the judgment of that Independent
press which is and always will remain the bul
wark of good and con*titntioni;l government.
They eiprese the convictions of the leading Re
publican journals and the Belief of those distin
guished Republican statesmen and citizens
whose love sf country has forced them to declare
that the nomination of Mr. Blame was one not
fit to be made.
There Is reason for our confidence that we
WILL ACHIEVE A VICTORY
in November. The army of the officeholder* en
gaged for a month past in the business of ma
nipulating votes in Ohio and West Virginia must
now disband. Each ican of the number must go
to his own place. The commissioner of pensions
aud his bureau clerks can not be concentrated
for political me* In the November elections.
When they are acting lad ividually in their sev
eral states they will be n liable to do mischief.
The marshal* of the United States, by reason of
th • powers which ttey exercise, may again do
barm in November. They ought to understand
thn: for what they have dose and for what they
may do they will be hereafter held to the strict*
account by a justly indiimant people. The hopes
of reward and the promises of indemnity which
have been held cut to them will not avail them
in the days which are close at hand.
THE MOOR IS FfLLT ABOUSSn.
It If alarmed by tbe corrupt Influences surround
ing Mr. Biaine, and will reject him as president.
Mr. Blame ha» grown rich. The men around him
have grown rich. The speculators whom be has
aided by framing laws to rait them are rich. The
corporation* which he helped have monopolized
the pab!ic land* Bat trade is stagnant. The
commerce of tbe country ha* decayed. Mill* are
standing idle. Where wages have not been stop
ped they are reduced. Mechanics and laborers '
go about peeking employment in vain. Women
and caildern are

These circumstances afford conclusive proof
