The County Democracy Will Stake Its Hopes on Hewitt. As a Consequence There Will Be a Triangular Fight. Bombastic Blame's Voice Pe ters Out and He Cancels Michigan Dates. Special to the Globe. New York, Oct. s.— Tammany Hall to-night nominated Sheriff Hugh J. Grant for mayor. Previous to the con vention, a conference committee had proposed five names to the County De mocracy, for a joint candidate, but all five were rejected, namely Sheriff Grant, Judge Dugro, Rosweil P. Flower, J. J. O'Douohue and S. S. Cox. Gen. John Cochrane presided at the convention. The nominations made are: For mayor, Hugh J. Grant; sheriff, James A. Flack; county clerk, E. F. Keilly; president of aldermen, George H. Forster; coroners, Drs. Schultze. Hanly and Levy. The speeches made and resolutions adopted pledged Tammany to the support of Cleveland and Hill, and contained de nunciations of Knownothingism, which were interpreted as an attack upon Mayor Hewitt. A special resolution recited that the county Democracy had disregarded all overtures and called for the nomination of an independent ticket. The resolu tion was adopted. Congressman Will iam Bourke Cockran then mounted the platform and received a hearty welcome. He said it was the duty of the people alone to nominate candidates, free from the dictation of newspaper editors. He alluded to Mayor Hewitt as a man so palsied in mind and narrow in views that he would well-nigh disfranchise aliens. Mr. Cockran concluded with the words, "All who prefer Hugh J. Grant to Abram S. Hewitt tor mayor of this city 1 know will second his nomina tion." PRESS OPINIONS. Of the nomination the Tribune (Rep.) will Bay editorially to-morrow: The nomination by Tammany hall of Hugh J. Grant for mayor unquestionably means a triangular contest for that im portant oflice. Tammany had the power to name a candidate that would put Mr. Hewitt out of the field. Mr. Hewitt had said so repeatedly. But he will not refuse to run against Mr. Grant. Personally, Mr. Grant is an amiable gentleman, and he has made a good sheriff. But he possesses no par ticular strength as a candidate for mayor. He will be loyally supported by the Tammany organization, of which he is a leader. That is all that can be said. The Sun (Dem.) will to-morrow say editorially: We had hoped that the leaders of Tammany might see the way to put Mr. Hewitt in nomination once again and to give him their support; but such was not their view of the ques tion, and they have followed their own judgment, as they had the most perfect right to do. They confidently expect to elect their candidates, and no intelli gent man can deny tha#if they suc ceed, they will elect competent, up right and trustworthy men. It will be a most interesting contest, and while we have believed that Mayor Hewitt would be the strongest Democratic candidate that could be nominated, and while we expect him to win the fight, we rec ognize the merit of this ticket nomi nated at Tammany Hall, and appreciate the reasons, more especially the feeling of a large body of Irish-American citi zens, which have led Mr. Croker and his associates to the determination at which they have arrived. GOT 'EM ON THE LIST. Gotham's Democracy Is Prepared to Thwart the Republican Scheme of Fraudulent Voting. Special to the Globe. New York, Oct. .s. Receipts from the popular contribution to the Demo cratic campaign fund to-day were larger than those of yesterday. Several remit tances came from Republicans, who state their intention of voting for Cleve land and tariff reform against the senate plan to alter the tax laws with out giving relief to the people. This sentiment will find expression in the business meeting to-morrow in front of the sub-treasury, which will be ad dressed by Secretary Fairchild. The Republican scheme of fraudulent vot ing is now almost completely dis closed, and Democrats ha\*e made arrangements to arrest and punish the colonizers as soon as the first overt acts are committed by fraudulent registra tion on next Tuesday. Nearly 100 men are already spotted as heads of as many gangs, but as they will probably not register until the last day. Their associ ates are under surveillance, with a view to their apprehension immediately after their registration. The scheme of fraud includes the casting of votes by the same colonizer- in Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City, and some of the posted talent who recorded false names and residences in Brooklyn last week will be surprised to find themselves nabbed on their first appear ance before New York boards of registration. The game is almost the same as that played with success in 18S0, but which was baffled in 1.84 by the vigilance of the Democratic district attorneys. The discovery of the plot against the suffrage has been facilitated by the jealousy entertained by the New York machine men toward the Pennsylvanians who have been brought here to take charge of the campaign. lt is certain that no fraudulent votes will be permitted to be cast in New York this year, and the exposure of the scheme of fraud will prevent the success of similar conspiracies against the votes of other states. TIRED OP HIS JOB. The Plumed Knight Cancels Two of His Dates in Michigan. Detroit, Mich., Oct. s.— ln conse quence of a 6light cold and hoarseness which developed since his speech in the open air yesterday, at Adrain, Mr. Blame determined this morning to give up his trip to East Saginaw and Ish peming. This determination was strengthened by the heavy atmosphere in this part of the stato and reports of on Icy temperature in the northern peninsula. Mr. Blame is at the resi dence here of Gen. Alger, where he will remain until Monday, when he will fill his engagement at Grand Rapids, and from tbat point he will proceed to Indiana. He has just declined the pro posed reception tendered him by the Chicago Union league. He will arrive in Chicago about the 17th or ISth of Oc tober. I here is nothing at all serious in his present indisposition, and his can cellation ot the East Sagin w and lsh peming dates was caused simply by a desire to husband his voice Mr. Maine did not arise from his bed until late tliis afternoon, when he took dinner with Mrs. Alger and the family. This evening he received James F. Joy and a number of other callers. Walker Blame said to a reporter to-night that his father would undoubtedly be able to keep his Grand Rapids appointment on Monday next. TRIBUTES TO THURM.W. Rousing Receptions Tendered the Old Koman Along the Line of His Route to Washington. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. s.— Judge Thurinan and party left Columbus quietly, and until Bellaire was reached at 5 o'clock there was no attempt at a demonstration, only a few people about the different depots being aware of the judge's arrival. However, at Bellaire a couple of hundred enthusiastic Demo crats, with a band to help give expres sion to their enthusiasm, had climbed the three ilights of stairs to the plat form to greet their chosen candi date. The special car stood too far away on the bridge for then to reach it, but as the train pulled through they cheered heartily while the judge stood in the door and bowed his acknowledgement of their greeting. At Benwood, on the West Virginia side of the river, a number of railroaders and others were ready with their greetings. Wheeling was ready with a lively and enthusiastic greeting. As the train pulled along from Ben wood, the people by the way cheered heartily, and when the Wheeling depot was reached the crowd of over 1,000, with fireworks, bandanas and strong lungs gave greet ing to the judge. They crowded up to the car, and at the appearance of the judge they SHOUTED THEIR LOUDEST. They insisted on a speech and the judge spoke briefly, expressing his sincere thanks for the reception and his desire to make a speech, but time did not allow him to do so. At the con clusion of his remarks the crowd cheered enthusiastically. A delegation of local Democrats waited on the judge to get him to promise them a speech be fore the election, but he was unable at the time to give an answer. As the train pulled through the city the people waved and cheered by the way, all being distinctly seen in the strong light of the fireworks. At Claysville a crowd cheered heartily as the train hurried through. The party took lunch and dinner on the train During the stop at Wheel ing little Starling Loving, the bright two-and-a-half-year-old son of Allen W. Thurman helped his illustrious grand father out by shaking hands, through an open window within reach, much to their satisfaction. Washington, Pa., turned out a cheering enthusiastic crowd of over 2,000, whose torches and fireworks cast a bright light on the strong face of the judge as he appeared on the plutform. He briefly returned thanks and expressed his desire to speak if time permitted. The crowd gave the judge a parting cheer as the train left the city. Other towns along the way gave hearty greetings. At Wheeling Judge Thur man had a short, but enjoyable talk with Mr. Hobbs, the great glass manu facturer and later, on the train cordially received Dr. Thomas J. Turner, of the United States navy. When the train rolled into the Pittsburg depot at 10:15, an hour late, a small crowd was waiting to meet the distinguished judge. He at first refused to go out of the car, but after some persuasion stepped out. and after three cheers had been given him, thanked the crowd lor the reception. Mr. Thurinan then retired and a few minutes later the train started for Washington. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Cleveland Sure to Carry New York, Indiana and Connecticut. Milwaukee, Oct. s.— After a night spent in a sleeper sidetracked in Ohio on account of a railway accident, James Morgan, the candidate of the Demo cracy for governor, arrived home this moriiing from his trip to New York, and chatted freely. "My trip- was entirely a business one," said Mr. Morgan, "but I took oc casion to call on a number of the lead ing members of the Democratic party, in order that I might personally satisfy myself in reeard to the political out look in the East. Among the gentle men 1 visited was Mr. Brice, chairman of the Democratic na tional committee, and his state ments coincided with those of every other Democrat in a position to have re liable information, all agreeing that there was not tne least doubt about Mr. Cleveland carrying New York, Indiana and Connecticut, and by good majori ties. So positive is this feeling, not only among the rank and file as well, that considerable odds are offered in bet ting circles, and in fact the Republicans are unwilling to accept even bets, feel ing that the chances are too decidedly against them. There is a marked and unusual degree of interest manifested among all classes of business men in re gard to the outcome of the election in the Northwestern states. By the way, the defection of the stalwart Republi cans in and around Syracuse, who were adherents of Mr. Conkling during his lifetime, is much more general than it was first supposed it would be. and tiiey are comine into the Democratic party in large numbers." THEY CAMS IX DROVES. Hoosiers and Badger Statesmen Call Upon Gen. Harrison. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. s.—Thir teen hundred of Fountain county's citi zens came here to-day in a lavishly decorated special train to call upon Gen. Harrison. The delegation was composed largely of farmers, but among the visitors were a number of Tippe canoe veterans and an organization of first voters from Attica. Three bands accompanied the crowd, and Capt. Ben Hegler, of Attica, came a 9 the spokes man of the delegation. At 2:30 o'clock 500 citizens of Madison, Wis., arrived on a special train, having left home at 1 o'clock this morning. Accompanying this delegation were leading citizens of Janesville, Beloit and other places. At the hall the reception given Gen. Har rison was unusually enthusiastic. His speech, too, covering points heretofore mentioned, was received with great ap preciation. Brooklyn Democrats 1 Blowout. Special to the Globe. Brooklyn, Oct. s.— The Academy of Music was crowded to-night at a Demo -1 cratic ratification meeting. Mayor Chapin presided, and the principal speech of the evening was made by Secretary Vilas, Congressman W. C. P. . Breckeuiidge also spoke. Harrisonians on Dress Parade. ; Special to tbe Globe.

Manitoba's Railroad Commis sioner Wants to Legally Scalp an Editor. He Vigorously Denies the As sertion That He Is a Boodler. The National W. C. T. U. De nounced in Strong Lan guage by lowans. Special to the Globe. Spokane Falls, W. T., Oct. 5.— About dusk this evening a short, but fierce, battle occurred between a posse of police and citizens and a horde of drunken Indians. The latter were rais ing a disturbance in the woods one mile down the river. An attempt to arrest the leaders resulted in the police being fired upon. One Indian sin gled out from the band and returned the fire. He fought desper ately, and, after emptying his Win chester, jumped into the river. His body was riddled with bullets and he sank. The posse gave the other Indians an hour to leave town. They left. No clue has been discovered as to the mur derer of the young German, whose body was found in the brush west of the city. Deceased was shot while sleeping. MARTIN IS MAD. Manitoba's Railroad Commission er Wants the Scalp of an Ed itor. Special to the Globe. Winnipeg, Man., Oct. Winnipcg ers were somewhat startled to-day when Attorney General and Railway Commissioner Martin swore out crim inal information against C. Acton Bur rows, manager of the Call newspaper, which for the past few days has been charging that both Martin and Premier Greenway were boodlers and corrup tionists, and stating that they made a corrupt bargain with the Northern Pa cific and received funds which they dis tributed among members of the legis lature to induce them to vote for the rat ification of the contract. Martin says that Messrs. Oakes. Kendrick and McNausrht have offered to come to Manitoba and pledge their oath that the charges of corruption are a malicious libel upon both himself and Greenway. Premier Greenway, who has been in Ontario for a month, returned to-night. He de clares he wili immediately institute pro ceedings against the Call, and also against the Free Press, which has charged him formally with entering into a bargain with the promoters ofthe Manitoba Central railroad to give cer tain legislation in consideration of $12, --500 to be used as an election fund. He says the Manitoba Central people made an attempt to bribe him, but he gave them a wide berth, knowing their char acter. The Free Press charges are said to be backed by an affidavit made by J. B. McArthur, a Minneapolis lawyer formerly of Winnipeg. Martin, in an interview, dares the Free Press to make charges against him backing up its in sinuation, and characterizes its action in refusing to give him a chance for an action as cowardly in the extreme. Sen sational developments are expected. LOG RULE PREVAILED. The Rawkeye W. C. T. U. Gets Hot and Scores the National Body. Special to the Globe. Dcs Moines, la., Oct. 5.— A breeze was created in the Woman's Christian Tempejance Union convention to-day by the presentation, by Mrs. A. M. Smith, of a memorial. The paper peti tions the National union to recede from the positition of identifying itself with a political party. The memorial recites many acts of partisanship on the part of the national body and it's officers, quotes a by-law of the National union forbidding political discussion, de nounces the devotion of the time of officers, paid for by the union, to the interests of a political party, and char acterizes the method adopted by the national body in this direction as un chrlstianlike and calculated to be dis astrous to the organization. An effort was made to discuss it, but Mrs. J. El len Foster, who was in the chair, called everybody down who attempted to op pose it,- and it went through with a rush. Mrs. Foster was asked if she had de clared that she would stick to the Re publican party whether it inserted a temperance plank or not. She replied that she was happy to say that she had.

The Hoosier Republican Boss Practically Declares Against an Honest Ballot. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. Anent the proposition of Chairman Jewett, of the Democratic state central committee, to Chairman Huston, of the Republican committee, that each should name forty five members and the Prohibitionists ten members to constitute a committee of ICO, whose duty it shall be to prevent illegal voting, Chairman Huston makes ' reply to Chairman Jewett, wherein he ■ says : i Yon are doubtless aware that there Is now existing a committee of 100 which ls non partisan in its character, having for its presi dent and chairman of its executive commit tee Democrats, its attorney a Prohibitiouist, and lis secretary and treasurer Republicans. The committee is made up euually of Dem ocrats and Republicans, and has for its ob ject the prevention and punishment of il legal voting and of election fraud of every description. Being already org»nized and having had valuable experience in the work it was organized to accom plish, it can certainly be mot effective than any new committee that might be formed at this lime. With the consent and hearty approval of our commit tee, I have forwarded to the treasurer of this committee my check for $500, which sum shall be expended under their direction in giving rewards for the apprehension of any persons violating the election laws of this state. I can assure you that the Repub licans are now. and ever have been, in favor of an honest ballot and fair count. T. P. Sheerin, secretary of the National Democratic committee, in au interview this evening touching Chair man Huston's response, said: "I regard Chairman Huston's reply as a most ex traordinary one and a public declara tion that the managers of the Repub lican campaign are not only not in favor of an honest election, hut absolutely op posed to it. There can be no such thing ' as a non-partisan committee for the pre vention of or prosecution of fraud at : elections, the majority membership of; which, and the entire control of -the ; organization of which, belong to one political party. We do not demand any-; thing: from the Republicans for which we are not willing to give a full equivalent. It is not so with Mr. Huston, who speaks for the whole Republican com mittee. We want a fair and honest election, and will go to any extent to bring it about. There can be no satis factory or honest effort in that direc tion unless each political party is fairly : represented, and whether or not it is fairly represented is a matter that their' ' committees should be permitted to de cide." Mr. Sheerin continued: "Chair-,' man Huston's statement is untrue that this committee is made up equally of- Democrats and Republicans. The truth is that two-thirds of the local committee of 100 are active, working Republicans, and the re mainder Democrats, Independents and Prohibitionists, and that its execu tive committee, which has full control • of the whole business, is composed of fourteen members, only five of whom have ever claimed to be Democrats. ' The facility with which Chairman Hus ton, after the receipt of Chairman Jew ett's letter, dumped $500 of the Repub lican campaign fund into the treasury of this local committee. It seems to me, is proof positive that whatever the in tentions of that committee may be, Chairman Huston's intentions are to make it a convenient excuse for his positive refusal to enter into an organ ization for the enforcement of the law without fear of favor." HONIED WITH HOUNDS London Police Will Utilize Bloodhounds to Track the Whitechapel Fiend. Eccentric Mrs. Paran Stevens Says Her Maid Stole Her Diamonds. One Who Stands Near the Throne Lauds Young Em peror William. Herr Yon Tisza, Hungary's Loud-Mouthed Premier, Re ceives a Snub. London, Oct. s.— Sir Charles Warren, chief of the Metropolitan police force, has decided to employ bloodhounds in bis efforts to discover the perpetrator of the Whitechapel murders. The police place confidence in the story of George A. Dodge, a seaman, who states that in August last he met a Malay cook named Alaska, with whom he had previously been acquainted on shipboard, in a music hall In London, and that Alaska told him he had been robbed of all he had by a woman of the town, and threatened that, unless he found the woman and recovered his property, he would kill and mutilate every White chapel woman he met. The police are searching everywhere for the Malay. Acting on information which has been furnished them, the police who are in vestigating the Whitechapel murder have seized and occupied several houses in that vicinity. - THE STEVENS SPARKLERS.

Count Douglas Lauds the Youth ful Monarch of Germany. Berlin, Oct. s.— Count Douglas, a prominent member of the Prussian landtag, in a speech to his constituents to-day said that when William I at tended the Russian military manuvers in 18S6, he successfully used his in fluence against the policy then predomi with the Russian government. The greatness of Germany and the preservation of her monarchal principle, he declared, were the sole ob jects of the present emperor. Owing to the confidence they felt in the em peror the people no longer asked what would become of Germany when she should be deprived of the services of Prince Bismarck. Emperor William did not favor the extreme political re ligious views of Dr. Stoecker. He was in no way identified with the high church party, and certainly deprecated anti-Jewish agitation. The speech cre ated a great sensation on account of Douglas' close relations with the court. VICTORIOUS BRITONS. Tbey Attack and Slaughter Two Hundred Natives, Special to the Globe. London, Oct.

Hungary's Premier Snubbed. Vienna, Oct. 5.— A tremendous sen sation has been created In Vienna owing to the fact that Emperor William neglected to confer decorations upon the Hungarian premier, Tisza, while several minor otticiuls were unexpect edly decorated. The cause of the kaiser's snubbing "lisza is a mystery, unless it be the recollection of his old speeches in sympathy with the young man's father, the late Emperor Fred erick. _ Colliers Threaten to Strike. London, Oct. s.— The situation in the collieries is nearing a crisis. The price of coal has increased largely and prom ises to increase to a still greater extent in consequence of the early setting in of cold weather, which has created an un equaled demand for fuel. The miners insist upon a ten per cent increase of wages, and 300,000 colliers 'threaten to strike unless the demands are complied with. Preferred Death to Disgrace. Vienna, Oct.

Its Head Got the Money and Its Mem bers the Costly Experi ence. Special to the Globe. New York, Oct. s.— One of the big gest swindling schemes that have been worked in this city for many years has been brought to light by the disappear ance of one William H. Ingham and closing of the brokerage office of W. H. Ingham & Co., No. 83 Broad As yet no accurate estimate of the swind lers' profits can be made, and very pos sibly tlie extent of the fraud will never be known. But, from present indica tions, losses of the victims of the specu lative mania will run well up into the thousands, and may aggregate more than $100,000. The man who has so suc cessfully played upon the gullible calls himself William H. Ingham, though his real name would probably not sound like that. According to all accounts he made his appearance in this city the latter part of April, 1887. and opened the office of W. H. Ingham & Co., at No. 40 Broadway. His entry on the scene was soon followed by the . appear ance of advertisements in sundry Provincial papers calling , attention to the immense profits to be gained by investing in W. H. Ingham- A Co.'s "speculative syndicate." The "syndicate was briefly described as a mutual pool, whicli was to operate in stocks, bonds and grain, under the direction of W. H. Ingham & Co. At the end of the first month a printed statement was forwarded to all stock holders, for "members" as they were termed, showing that the profits for the month of May, 1887, were 52 per cent. The statements Issued by the firm taking them for what they were worth go to show that the "profits" for the several months from June down were: July, 43 per cent; August, 24 per cent; September, 67 per cent; October. 46 per cent; November, 56 per cent; Decem ber, 42 per cent; January, 1883, 29 per cent; February, 30 per cent; March, 18% percent; April, 22 per cent; May, 21 per cent; June 26 per cent; July, 25 per cent; August, 15 per cent; Septem ber, about 25 per cent. Of course these "profits" were all purely imaginary, and such dividends as were paid were paid out of the money INVESTED BY THE DUPES. How many of the nominal dividends actually were paid cannot be ascer tained, but since December at least tbe dividends indicated have actually been paid. While Ingham's business was booming along, and letters, telegrams and visitors daily pouring in, he was making preparations to close up shop. On last Saturday he mailed a card to his victims, i vie wing the career of the syndicate and aim juncing that In con sequeuee of members' solicitations he had met with heavy losses which had ferced him to "suspend with the loss of the entire syndicate membership's capi tal, and all its business and offices are closed." The card goes on to signifi cantly remark that "we only hold your names," and concludes in this way: "As soon as we can get matters ar ranged and our accounts straightened, with full details and figures of tbe losses and trades.and open offices again, we will notify you. By the word of the Co. after the name of W. H. Ingham Is meant each and every syndicate mem ber constitutes the company of the firm. Yours truly, W. H. Ingham & Co.". According to the stories of the otber occupants of the building at No. 38 Broadway, Ingham was last seen ' at his office Saturday. He had had a Yale lock put on the outer door when he re moved to his new office, and as he took the key with him no one can now get into the room. A glimpse through the letter slit, however, shows a big accu mulation of mail lying on the floor, where it has - fallen through the slit. Scores of undelivered telegrams for Ingham are also lying at the adjacent telegraph offices. Ingham would never allow the janittess or an.v .one else to see both of his rooms at once, and, ap parently, removed important books and papers to the.rear room and locked the door when the woman cleaned the front office. His residence is given in the di rectory as No. 38 Broadway, and THERE IS NO CLUE to either his actual residence or him self. He is not a member ot either the New York stock exchange, the consoli date exchange or the produce exchange, but he had entrusted an aggregate of about $500 worth of mining stock to the open stock and grain board, of New York, (limited), at No. 38 New street, to sell for him. All his checks were drawn on either the Seaboard National hank or the United States National bank. They were always careful to look up his account before cashing his checks, but he never overdrew them, and apparently paid for all services, etc.. In cash. Judging from the bank officers' statements. Ingham has al together withdrawn his deposits, or has but a small balance on - hand. There are some reasons for thinking that he came to New York from Chicago. AGITATED CANUCKS.
