The great Tammany demonstration in t New York Tuesday night following on the heels of the ovation to Cleveland last week, ] has struck terror into the hearts of the j Blaine-Elkins crew. They see that New , York is lost to them, and while keeping up a ! show of fight in that state they are, in reality, | transferring their efforts to Indiana, New : Jersey and Connecticut. This virtual abandonment of New York is equivalent to ] acknowledging defeat, for if the Democrats carry New York they are sure to win, ! whether they carry Indiana or not. But it is not within the bounds of proba- I bilities that the Doreey experiment of 1880 can be repeated in Indiana. It is hardly likely that the government printing presses will be used by Arthur's subordinates to sup ply the sinews of war. Gov. Hendricks' personal popularity and the feeling that in | his person he stands as the victim of the j great wrong ef IS7G, insures him Indiana beyond any reasonable peradventure. With this outlook it only remains for Dem- j ocrats everywhere to loyally stand together and march in triumphal column to victory This is no time for laggards or defections anywhere. Those who would enjoy the fruits of success must loyally aid ie win ning it. GOXEJIXOJt CLEVELAND. Gov. Cleveland reached Albany at 7:45 p. j m. Oct. 18th from his visit at New York and , Brooklyn, and was met at the depot by a : large crowd who had assembled to greet him. He was loudly cheered as he walked to bis car- i riage from the cars. He appeared to be in ex cellent spirits, and expressed himself much j impressed with the inaptitude of the demon- , strations in New York and Brooklyn, and at the earnestness and confidence that prevaded | the Democracy. The Governor and his pri- ! vate secretary were driven at once to the ! Executive mansion, and later in the evening they worked several hours in the Executive chamber. Governor Cleveland's devotion | to the discbarge of every official duty is a j maiked trai} in his character. A working man himself, why should be not be a friend of working men, as he is. During the evening be was made the re cipient of the gold headed cane which had been voted him at a Catholic fair in Illinois, be having received a majority of votes over Blame, as the most popular candidate for the Presidency. Shortly after his arrival at | the Executive mansion, the Governor was waited on by a committee consisting of the Bight Reverend Thomas Dcvaney and Frank T. Kean, from the Catholic church of Gil man, Illinois, who presented him with the handsome gold headed, ebony cane, which bore the inscription, ''Voted to Hon. Grover Cleveland at the Catholic Church Fair, Gil man, Illinois, September, 18*4." Father Devaney, who is an Influential Catholic and pastor of the church, in a short presentation speech referred to the high esteem in which Grover Cleveland was held by his church people in Illinois, and ex pressed the belief that the great majority the Governor had over Blame in the contest for the cane was but a prestage of the result in November. Governor Cleveland responded happily, saying that it gave him great pleas- | ure to receive so flattering an assurance of I the esteem of his western Catholic friends, I and he appreciated especially the honor done j him by Father Devaney and Mr. Kean in waiting nearly two days at Albany to present in person the gift voted. The gentlemen ■pent some little time with the Governor and were handsomely entertained. A STAKTLIXG ItECORJ). A few days since we gave a long list of manufacturing enterprises which under the high protective tariff of the Republican party have within a few weeks failed or suspended operations. To-day we wish to present to the advocates of the principles of the ruling party some few points in relation to the pros trate furnaces throughout the land. These facts arc reliable, and are obtained from the Iron Age, the best authority in the land on all questions relating to that and ksndrcd sub jects. More than half of the blast furnaces in the United States are reported idle. The table prepared for the Iron Age shows 69 charcoal furnaces in blast and 175 out. The capacity of the idle ones is quite double the capacity of those at work. Nearly all of these fur naces are in southern or western states. Pennsylvania has a great majority of the anthracite furnaces. Of the whole number in the country 86 arc in and 141 out of blast, the capacity of the former being 23,539 tons per week, and of the latter 32,400. The bitu minous or coke furnaces arc scattered through many states. Of these seventy-nine are in, and 146 out of blast. A nail factory in Chat tanooga, Tennessee, either had to suspend or reduce wages, and so the men employed therein arc now working for less than $1 a day . What has produced such wide spread demoralization in the Industries of the coun try} We are toil that the Imposition of high duties gives to our laboring men constant work and high wages. Now at this very time there are more than 300,000 men out of employment, raauy of whom have wives and children. The cold winter is upon them and how they are to subsist un til business revives is a matter of great con cern to them as they already have their chil | dren calling for bread. Absolute suffering must be endured before relief comes. The country needs protection, but it is protec tion from the bad p.uiey of the Repub lican party. The workingmen of the country have it in their power to apply the remedy by repudiating on November 4th the party which has controlled the destinies of the nation for twenty-four years. After twenty yean of profound peace we are paying war taxes and these will never i be reduced under the Republican manage ment The leaders of that party say tnat it will never do to change, for then hard times, | such as have never been known, will come I upon the people. Away With such nonsense. Is it possible to make it worse than it is! Would not any i change be an improvement? If the time i shall ever come to throw the Republican party overboard that time has come now. Our in : dustries ire demoralized, our people are out ; of cmpii'Vi" rnt and it Is proposed to elect Wain . :..:.: a devoid of honesty as shown by his dai:;i.;nc record, and place him with Us big protective ideas over the destinies 'of the people for four years, leaving ■ us to the mercy of the Star route thieves. ;It must not, it cannot be that i the American people have descended so low ! as to prefer Blame to Cleveland, to prefer a I man so universally condemned by the hon | orable men of his own party, to one who is the I type of honorable manhood. Cleveland has , been tried and has proven himself honest 1 and capable. Blame has been tried and ; found guilty of the worst kind of frauds. I In this land, favored by God beyond any other, shall it go forth to : the world that honesty is not require] | of our rulers! What a terrible example to ! the young men of the country if the masses of the people should elevate the autbor of the Mulligan letters: the man who without in vesting a dollar made more out of the Little Rock railroad than any of his confederates, to the highest and most honorable position in las known world. But such we believe : will not be the case- We feel sure that | the working men and the business : men in view of oar prostrate ; enterprises and consequent demoralization of every branch of industry will see relief ; only in the change of administration and cast their touts for Urover Cleveland, the THE ST. .PAUL DAILr GLOBE.

New York World: Not less than 2,000 Re publican outsiders were sent to Ohio to act as Deputy Unite 1 States Marshals. Many of them were Federal officials In distant states. They were ordered to report to Col. Dudley. who armed them with hnll-dos; revolvers taken from the War Department in Washington. Their bnMnees was to bulldoze and intimidate Democratic voters. They did their work well in Cincinnati. Can the game be played in New York? It will be tried. Utica Observer: Corporations may have no souls, but they are never ungrateful to their tools. When lUaine voted in the Senate against Thnrman's great anti-monopoly measure, he won the lasting gratitude of every railroad corporation in the country. It is now pretty well established that at least a million dollars were contributed by the railroad kings to the debauchery of Ohio. But Mr. Blame will find it a fleeting reward. A gentleman* from Cincinnati, after reciting some of the nefarious means adopted to carry that city for the Kepnbliruns at the election Oct. 14th, remarked very emphatically: "Look ont for a big change in the November election. If that city elves less than 10.0. • majority for Cleveland I will be greatly mistaken." Wales has long wanted Buckingham palace to live in and the Queen at last reluctantly gives him the use of it, but her consent carries the condition that Wales shall boid semi-royal recep tions at his own expense in her behalf, which will plnnge the poor Prince deeper than ever into the slough of debt.

Geo. W.

Mr. Warren is so much alarmed over the in- | roads of the Prohibitionists that he wants ; to have Blame come here Immediately and ! ride up and dawn the state showing his plumes, particularly in counties i where . the , Prohibition strength. is the greatest. Elkins says no: New York is Irretrievably lost, and the thing to da is to descend with lull pockets upon New Jeiscy and Connecticut, while keeping a desperate grip upon the doubtful western states. The Rev. Jas. Freeman Clarke's manly reply to the seven Buffalo clergymen con cerning the exploded charges against Gov. Cleveland, in which he clearly shows that not a word of proof of the accusations has been pro- | duced, after all the vaporing of the accusers, | has had a salutary effect in shutting up the j windmills. Senator Thurman was seen at the Metro- j politan hotel to-day. Speaking of . the Ohio j election, he said it could not be controverted | that the Democratic vote was the largest ever polled in the state, aud that the Republicans after such a struggle, as they had never made . before, failed in holding their i own - for a presidential year, He thought the Democrats would win in In diana by making a vigorous tight, and as to the general result he declared that Biaine's defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Henry Ward Reedier* Great Effort. New York, Oct. 22.— Rev. Henry Ward j Beecbcr, in the course of his political speech ; to night in the rink at Brooklyn, said: , "The air is murky with the stories of Mr. Cleveland's private life. Lies so cruel, so j base, so atrocious, have never before been j set in motion as the cockatrice's eggs brooded and hatched by rash and credulous clergymen. They couldu't go to Mr. Cleveland with honest inquiry, but opened their ears to the harlot aud the drunkard [sensation] and promulgated a slander to poison the faith of holy men and ! innocent women. Do timid ministers ever j reflect that the guilt of the vice or of the i crime measures the guilt of him who charges it falsely?" (Cheers.) Mr. Beecbcr then paused and stepping to the desk read in trembling tones, thus: My honored and beloved wife, quite un known to me, made cuttings from newspa pers all of which were in respect to the life of i Gov. Cleveland in Albany. She. sent them ; to him with a letter that will not be pub lished, but which would be a gem in En glish literature if it were published. As quick as mail could return she received this letter from Gov. Cleveland which I have had between ... two and three weeks, and which he infant to be and marked pri vate, but such a complexion has the canvass taken that I telegraphed him two nights agj to nsk if I might use my discretion with re gard to it. His reply was, "'Certainly, if it is your judgment." Now I read Gov. Cleve land's letter: i Private.] Executive Mansion*, \ Albany, Oct. 7, ISB4. ) My Dear Mrs. EL'ecber: Your letter, as you may well suppose, has affected me deeply. What shall I say to one who writes ! so like my mother? I say SO like my mother, j but I don't altogether mean that; for she died in the belief that her son was true and noble as she. He was dutiful and kind. I am shocked and dumfounded by the clipping that you send me, because it purports to give what a man actually knows, and not mere report as the other lour or five lies do, which I have heard about my life in Albany. I haver seen any living woman whom I have any reason to suspect was in any way ba.l. Ido not know where any such woman lives. In Albany I have not been in any house except the executive mansion, the executive chamber, the First Orange club house, twice at receptions given, and on, I think, two other occasions, the residences of perhaps fifteen or twenty of the best citizens to dine. Of course I've been to Cblcairo. There never was a man who has worked harder or more hours In the iv. Almost all my time has been spent in the executive chamber, and I hardly think there has been twenty nights in the twenty-one months I have lived in Albany, unless I was out of town, that I have left my work earlier than midnight to find my bed at the mansion. lam at a loss to know how it is that such terrible wicked ness and utterly base lies can be invented. The contemptible creatures who coin and pass these things appear to think that the affair which I have not denied make me defense less against any and all slanders. As to my outward life in Buffalo, the manifestation of confidence and attachment which was there tendered me must be pro-if that I have not led a disgraceful life In that city, and as to my life in Albany, all statements that tend to show that it has been other than laborious and correct are utterly and in every shadow untrue. Ido not wonder thai your husband I was perplexed. I honestly think that I de serve hie good opinion aud any aid he is disposed to render me. i don't want him to think better of me than 1 deserve Cannot I arrange to see him and tell him what I cannot write. I shall be in New York on Wednesday, and Thursday af ternoon an.l evening I shall spend in Brook lyn. Having written this much it occurs to !to me that such a long letter to you is unnecessary and unexpected. It is loneer than any I have ever written on the subject referred to, ami I besr you to forgive me if i your kind and touching letter has led me j into an impropriety. Yours very sincerely, Guover Cleveland. I have marked this "private."" You mas! not infer that lat all doubted your proper u*e of it. G. C. Mr. Beecbcr added: When in the gloomy night of my own sufferings In the yean gone by, I sounded every depth of sorrow, I vowed i: God would briuir the day star of hope Ito me, I would never suffer a brother, friend or neighbor to go uu- ' Mended should a like serpent seek to truth him. Th.-.t <::th I will regard now, became I know the bitterness of these venomous lies. I will stand again*! the infamous lies tiiat seek to BST to death a man and magistrate worthy of a better fate." The speaker then said Mi bold speech on the subject was in spite of friends who ad- '< vised silence lest he stir bis own sorrow. He concluded thus: ••If I refuse to expose to shame the swarm of liars that nestle in tbe mud or sling ar rows at Mr. Cleveland from ambush, may ■ my toncne cleave to the roof of my mouth ; and my right hand forget its cunning." _______ The County Democracy.

Roseerans, Senator Pendleton and other distinguished Democrats ate to speak at Detroit, Mich, .to nig t. Tiie chairman of the committee of arrangements issued the following call for the meeting, and it is mighty interesting reading. 1 head the call for this meeting by the following announcement, clipped from the Post and Tribwieot Sunday, the 19th instant. We here thank the boodle organ for the free advertisement: THE DEMOCRATS DARE NOT RISK A COMPARI SON. The Democrats announce that Gen. W. S. Rosecrans and Senator Geo. 11. Pendleton will arrive in Detroit next Thursday, and the committee is trying to arrange for the ap pearance at the same time of T. A. llen dncks, Dan Voorhees and Gen. Bragg. In consequence of the expected coming of these gentlemen the local Democracy is .on the ragged edge. To have these distinguished men visit the most populous city in Michigan and not recognize their presence by a fitting de monstration was hardly to be thought of calmly; and yet to get up a blowout that would not throw a shadow on the recent Re publican demonstration meant chagrin for the leaders and the party. That they cannot do. True! We shall not compete ! When men and women are going about seeking In vain for work! When farmers cannot find a market for their wheat, and when the winter is coming on and the poor cannot get bread ! ..When the unexampled commercial depres sion is bringing the saddest suffering to the doors of the many, the party of the people in its great struggle with the representatives, of monopoly, extravagance, corruption and wastes has no money to squander on tinsel, torches, oilcloth, cushions and carriages! None for gaudy imitations of Lord Mayor's shows ! None for calico effigies (expressly ordered from the manufacturers) of our candidate ! None for cotton feathers (made to order!) None for costly trappings and gewgaws, and none for luxurious entertainments! Our candidate is at bis post of duty as a servant of the people, and can spare no time and will waste no public money in royal junketings through the country! So far from distracting attention from the candidate of monopolies, of the star routers, of the stock jobbers, of the Goulds and the onc-bundred-milllonalrcs by noise and glare, we call marked and especial attention to the record of James G. Blame] But while we have abundant means (thanks to the people) for legitimate uses in the campaign, we feel that we should not be blameless if we expended it in mere dis play. Citizens are not asked to expend money in decorating residences and places of busi ness. Funds that might be so expended should be reserved for the dire needs of the coining winter, when the calls upon kindly human nature will be many and pressing. Public buildings or public offices occupied by Democrats belong to this whole people, and will not be decorated. But we ask the people to turn out in a plain and homely WSJ to discuss the evils which threaten the country, to declare their sup port of Cleveland and Hendricks, to express their opinion of the unspeakable man from Maine!!

Oct. 22. — An hoar ; before the time when Mr. Blame was to leave Indianapolis tois morning there was perhaps 2.000 people gathered around the rear of bis train and in the depot, who kept calling for him to come out, and in order to engage their attention until Mr. Blame should ar rive from Senator Harrison's, brief speeches were made by Fred Douzia-s, Governor i Camsback, Governor Porter and Wm. Cat sins Goodloe, of Kentucky. When Mr. Blame appeared on the rear plat form some . one. in' the crowd shouted: "Hats off." Instantly every hat was removed, and then there was a great and prolonged outburst of cheering, during which Blame stood bowing to them. He held out his hand to command silence. When he got a chance he said: I am very glad to have an opportunity this forenoon as 1 am about to depart from your city to express to so many people of Indian apolis the great obligation I feel, the great thankfulnesf I offer for the magnificent reception offered to me here, yesterday. It is one of the events of my life, and will be cherished in my remem brance as long as life lasts. There were small crowds at every little station, but the first large meeting was at Martinsville, twenty miles from Indianapolis. Here there, were elaborate preparations to receive Blame. He was conducted to a stand through an avenue guarded on each side by little girls dressed in white, who . strewed flowers in his path. He spoke briefly on the tariff, and was followed by McKinky. Evaxsville, hid., Oct. 22. The route to day was through a less densely populated portion of the state and the crowds generally were not so large a those yesterday, but they were still very large, and as eager as possible. Some of the stops were longer than the pro gramme contemplated, and it was almost dark when the train arrived at Evansville. The reception here was the one' at Indian apolis over again, perhaps not quite so large, but even more enthusiastic. Mr. Blame was driven across the city through the main street accompa nied and followed by a great cheering multitude. When he reached the stand he was introduced by Mr. D. B. Mum ler, and wheu order was restored he made a speech, in which, after urging the import ance to Indiana and the whole country of continuing the protective policy, he said: "A very respectable member of the society of friends spoke to me in ludianapolis yes terday in commendation of the proposition for a peace congress of American nations, as originally designed. Such a movement as that' I consider myself to be the basis of a sound and wise foreign policy. We Beck no intervention in the struggles and contentions of European gov ernments, but we do seek expansion of trade with our neighbors, and as the perquisite thereto we seek friend and peaceful rela tions with all the countries of North and South America. .We seek more than that, we desire not only to be peaceful and friendly with these nations, but we desire that they shall be peaceful and friendly with each other. I confess I can imagine no more impressive spectacle than would presented by all the nations of the new world meeting in the cpital of the'great republic and sol emnly agreeing that as between themselves war shall cease, and that ever}' difficulty that may arise shall be submitted to un partial arbitrations for just and friendly settlement Almost every republic of North and South America has indicated its desire to meet in such a congress in the city of . Washington, and every in stinct of justice, every consideration of philosophy, every teaching of Christianity suggests that such a congress should be held though it Would embrace in its membership only the nations of America, it could not fail of success in its great design to affect favorably the public opinion of the world. I confess I should wish no prouder distinc tion for the United States of America than to instigate a movement that might in* the wide sweep of its beneficient influence in corporate the principles of friendly arbitration as a permanent part of the international code of the world. Without further ' intermeddling in the affairs of other nations, we can exert upon them the influence of a lofty example, and commend to them a policy based on the eternal principles of justice. . From the meeting Mr. Blame was driven to the house of Hon. Win. A. lleilman, whose guest he will be during his stay in Evans ville. About 9 o'clock he went out to re view a torchlight procession. To-morrow he will go to Lafayette, stopping at intermediate points. Logan at Feoria— Dastardly Attempt to "Wreck His Train. Peokia, 111., Oct. 22.— The demonstration in honor of Gen. Logan to-day was the largest and most imposing ever witnessed in this city. He was met at Galcsburg by a re ception committee numbering over one hun dred, from various organizations, and escorted here. At a point one mile west of Knoxville a dastardly attempt was made to wreck the train conveying the party. The train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour, and upon rounding a curve the engineer noticed an obstruction on the track. He put on the brakes immediately, but did not succeed in bringing the train to a stand until the engine had run over two of the four ties which had been laid across the rails. The news of the diabolical attempt on the life of Gen. Logan and escort spread rapidly, and aroused the most intense indignation. Tin- arrival of the train shortly after 3 was announced by the blowing of whistles along the line an i wild cheers of the assembled thousands. Local and visiting clubs formed in line and escorted Gen. Lojran to the hotel, where he took dinner. The line of march was thronged with people, who cheered enthusi astically as the carriage containing Gen. Logan passed. An immense crowd was awaiting Gen. Logan at the wigwam, and when be entered the band was playing and the vast interior rang with cheers. When the escort had filed in there secmrd not an inch of standing room to spare. Fully 4,000 people were crowded together. Iv a graceful speech Miss Belle Minor, on behalf of the Union Veteran club, presented Gen. Logan with a large square floral emblem, with his name in letters of blue on a white ground, and on behalf of the Young Men's Republican club with a basket of flowers. Being Introduced with a few eloquent remarks by Hon. Washington Cockle, postmaster of the city, who has been a voter for over fifty years. Gen. Logan thanked the clubs heartily for their floral of ferings, and paid a handsome compliment to the young lady who made the presentation I speech. Gen. Logan was very hoarse, hav ing made thirteen speeches yes terday, and having spoken al ready three times to-day, but with an effort he brought out his voice and 'made himself heard all over the wigwam, speakinc for more than an hour. lie first reviewed the tariff question, to which most of his speech was devoted, he then replied to certain remark! of Thomas A. Bcndricks. The latter, be said, had declared the Repul< lican party had been robbing the country by ' piling up a surplus in the treasury. Gen. ' Logan said if they l.ad piled it up it was be- ; cause they had money to pile up, while if the , Democrats bad not it was bees they had i not had the money. Replying to the state- i incut of Hendricks thai the surplus amounted to £400,000,000, he said that $139,000,000 • was the res rye fund for the redemption of tin greenbacks, and €240,000.000 silver cer tificates nnd certificates of de posit. The latter circulated every day among people as money. '1 1 c balance he said, was held to pay the bonds and inter H« gupposr-d, he said, that when Gov. Hendricks said, 'turn the ras cals out," he meant the Republican party. If «o, should they be turned out because the Republican party had prevented the spread of slavery in territories, because they had achieved national honor, glory and success; because when the rebellion undertook to strike a death blow at the republic they main tained it had power inherent in itself to save itself ; because they had given the country I the best currency the world had ever known", and because they had raised four millions of human beings out of the deep gulf of dcs- : pair into free American citizenship. The Democratic party, he said, were treading six- | teen years in the rear of the Republlcans.and had always Opposed everything they had ever '■ done until it Lad been accomplished.

Special Telegram to the Globe,] DtXTTTH, Minn., Oct. 22. — The Democrats of St. Louis county held a grand and entbu elastic meeting in the Grand opera hon?« here to-night, and the commodious building was filled from the stage to the door. It was expected that Col. L. L. Baxter would ml dress the meeting, but owing to i sudden attack of illness' h« was unable to attend. The lion. Mort Wil kinson, however," made an address, which for vigor of thought and energy of expres sion has rarely been equaled in Duluth. Senator Wilkinson was introduced by Alonzo YVijiteman, the Democratic caudidato for the legislature for the Forty-sixth senatorial district. Whiteman's speech was short but pithy, and elicited much applause. On the subject of the tariff he said that he did not believe this was a proper issue in a national campaign. lie regarded it as a sec tional or local issue, and had no right to be injected into the campaign. He very ably showed the difference be tween Henry Clay's and Blame's tariff views, and showed that the latter was only posing in a false position and sailing under a false flag. Talking of protection he said he would not paralyze the farmer to protect the iron mines, but he would throw the protecting arm of the government around the agriculturalist as well as th« manufacturer. The Chili people should be protected. Mentioning the letter of Horatio Seymour on the tariff he said that its doctrines were the true ones. Seymour's name brought down the house. The" im portant issue of this campaign is honesty and integrity of government administration. He explained the Fisher letters so clearly that the dullest in the audience could not ail to see their meaning. The speech was eloquent, earnest and thoughtful. He said that he was in congress with Blame and knows the latter to Le in league with such fellows as Bill King, of this state, and Steve Dorsey. Wilkinson has apparently lost none of his fire and old time vigor. The audience ltstened with breathless attention" for more than an hour. Donnelly's Masterly Canvass. [Special Correspondence of the Globe. l Wacoxia, Oct. 20.— Hon. Ignatius Don nelly, candidate for congress from this dis trict, spoke to a large crowd in this place t:>is evening, upon "Civil service reform." "Opposition to rings and monopolies," and the "tariff." Mr. Donnelly was introduced by Hon. J. Wessbecher, a hard fisted farmer, in a short and eloquent speech. Mr. Donnelly spoke tor two hours, his speech re ceiving loud and continued applause. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a large number of farmers came from a long distance to hear their candidate •peak to them on subjects that interests each and every farmer in the district. In talking with many of the citizens this afternoon about the' congressional question in this district, and in asking them what Ma,f;>r Strait's chances were for votes in this town, they replied: "He'll get the postmas ter's . vote and perhaps about six of his im mediate friends." They also say that Mr. Donnelly will carry this county by a large majority. 1 met a traveling man on the train this morning on his way from Aberdeen, Dak., to Minneapolis, and he said the people aIL along the line of the Hastings it Dakota rail road, clear out into Dakota were all inter ested in seeing Mr. Donnelly elected for he i-> a farmer, and will took after the interest* of the farmer. In his speech to-night Mr. Donnelly no ticed the last brand new scandal of the Pio neer Frm, that he had sold property to Gov. Miller in 1557 to which he had no title, be cause it was under a mortgage, and that he was now pursuing Miller in iiis grave for the amount claimed on notes for which no con sideration had been given. Mr. Donnelly said it was sufficient to refer to the fact, proved by the records of Ramsey county, that that mortgage had been paid oil by him in L 859, before Miller had been sued upon the notes; that the existence of the mortgage was known to Miller when he bought, and in fact was recited in the deed from Nininget to Miller; that Donnelly bad Bold the notes given him by Miller in good faith and had l endorsed the same; that Miller had failed li. p. iv one cent upon them, had become utterly bankrupt, while he (Donnelly), had been; sued as" endorser, his printing office levied upon for Miller's debt and he compelled to pay over $1,200 for the same; that ho had put in a claim against Miller's estate: us any other man would have done under like circumstances; and now he is charged with swindling Miller by giving him no title. The purchasers of Miller's notes und mort gage not only got 11,200 out of Donnelly,bul now own the property mortgaged by Miller, worth about 815,000, and they think they have a perfect title to it. Mr. Donnelly said he had wrttten to his at torney in St. Paul to begin another libel suit against the Plonerr Prrim for charging him With swindling. He would see which would end first — their lies or their ppeketbook. He expected to own their establishment before be got through, and when he did he would wash it out by turning the Mississippi river through It, and deodorize it by burning a. million tons of disinfectants in It. At the end of a few years of such cleansing he thotight it might be brought to compare fa vorably in the purity of its atmosphere with any cloaca in the country. Just think of the number of speakers em ployed by Strait to counteract Donnelly! I can remember that crank of cranks S. L. Pierce, Gen. (?) Lc Due, another crank. Archtander, of Chicago; Patty (p°ronounce< with the c sound of a), of Northileld; Kcve, of Faribault; Gov. Austin, land officer "of D ..kola, who ought to be in better buslaess, Win. Pendergast, of the state department of Education ; Harrison Pendergast, bis brother, ex-miller of Collingwood, who, they say, used! to swap ground screenings to the farmers for their wheat; the infinitesmal Nordin of the state house ring, St. Paul; Jim Baker, rail road commisssioner; Bill Windom, ex-sena tor; Severance, who is so ashamed of Strait that he denies that he is his clerk; Swans trom, Osborn, Judge liea, of Minneapolis, and a horde of smaller creatures, if anything could be smaller than some of these. AH these are making war on one solitary man, who without speakers, organization; com mittee or money, is lighting all alone against Immense odds, with the foul-mouthed J'if/M«j /•/■■ making the air blue with lies. An ! yet Mr. Donnelly Is going to win despite all these influences. The farmers arc for him, and they constitute three-fourths of the voter* of the district. Dodge County Convention.
