Tbe simplest plan would be to turn the whole scheme over to Quay and Dudley. Thk large and representative attend ance at the democratic county convention yesterday, is an earnest that the party is in a pretty healthy and active condition hereabouts. A. boy down in Georgia wears a No. S hat. President Harrison would give great deal for thit boy's head. lie might then come somewhere near to filling out tbe grandfather's hat that now over whelms him. The republican party is carrying on a campaign against free trade. We must bear tbis in mind, for it is the easiest fact in the world to forget. The free traders who are being vigorously pursued are those persons who thiok that an average rate of duty of from 50 to 69 per cent is too high. Old-time protectionists were satisfied with 20 or 30 per cent. Henry Clay would now be a free trader. Whf n a man objects to paying a duty of 150 per cent on bis woolen coat or bis wife's dress, he is a free trader, and tbe repub licans are after him, for to this complex ion they have come at last. The manner in which the legislative nomination was left yesterday by tbe county convention is far from satisfaclo ry. It was clearly the duty of the con vention o designate by ballot its prefer ence between tbe two gentlemen seeking tbe position. Now tbe fight will be car ried to the senatorial convention, and aF over a month will elapse before tbat body meets, the interval will be one of veia tion and anxiety not only to the cumli dales and tbeir friends, but also to tr delegttes. There is nothing, either, in terfering with other gentlemen announc ine themselves as candidates, and tbe final result may be tbe selection of "dark" boise. Tbe Chicago Tribune, whose republi canism can surely not be doubled, states the following facta in reference to tbe McKinlcy bill: On women's and children's dress goods costing 17 cents a yard the duty is in creased 34 per cent; on goods costing 15.05 cents, 33 per cent; on cotton an wool goods costing 15 cents a yard, 34 15 per cent; on fine all-wool dress goods costing 22 cents a yard, 21 per cent; on silk plushes costing f 2 50 a yard the ad vance is l.j per cent (let tbe women make a note of this); on worsted, which have for clothing purposes largely re placed woolens, and which now cost cents a yard, 624 per cent; on all silk and cotton velvet costing 45 cents a yard tbe duty will be 08 per cent, but on tbe all-silk velvet costing $2 25 a yard tbe duty. is only advanced per cent; on unbleached tablecloths cost ing 23 cents a yard it is advanced 30 per rent. ; on lawn for women's dresses costing cents a yard it is advanced 2 per cent. On linen collars and cuffs tbe duty is made prohibitory, and the tbree or four Amen can manufacturers can charge what they please and quickly become millionaires Tbe duty on bottons is double; on corsets it is largely increased, though the manu facturers are making money fast. Tbe duties od china and glassware are raised both by the tariff and by the admin Istraltve bills from 24 to 160 per cent. On table cutlery tbe duty is beav ily raised on all grades and doubled on some. Tbat on razors is put up from 50 per cent to 75 and 130 per cent. On spectacles costing f 2 a gross the duty is raised from 45 to 335 per cent.; on those costing $12 a gross it is raised from 45 per cent to 85 per cent. Tbe duty is more than doubled on wondpulp, which needs, no protection because it is made cheaper in tbis country than abroad, but the new duty will support a nice trust monopoly to he soon formed. Tbe taxes on window glass, lamp chim neys tbe cheaper the quality tbe higher tbe tax on chemicals, photographers' supplies, dextrine, and a hundred other articles are all pushed up. Placing tbe increase of prices under the bill at the underestimated average of 10 per cent., the total net loss will exceed 167 millions; but at tbe moderate of 15 per cent tbe net loss to tbe consumers under tbe Mc Kinley bill will exceed 300 millions of dollars per year! Tbe bill is a rank rob bery of the west. Obltnary. Joseph Young died at the residence of Capt. W. J. Hanson, 1420 Fourth avenue, at a few minutes before one this morning.

The City Dreaaed In the National Colors and Crowded with. Visitors President Harrison and Gen. Sherman on Hand A Thronged Reception Closing- Events of the Lee Statue Dedication Extracts from the Eloquent Address of CoL An derson Incidents of the Event. Cleveland, O., May 30. When the inn went down last night everything was in readiness for the dedication of tbe Garfield memoriuL The decorations of the city are both elaborate and artistic. Throughout the entire lengths of Euclid avenue and Superior street, the two principiil thor oughfares, there is hardly a store, building or house that has been neglected, while on the side streets and out to tbe residence suburbs the display of festive tokens is very general. Tens of thousands of flags flutter from windows and roofs, streamers depend from the tops of eight-story build ings clear to the sidewalk, and store win dows for blocks have had their contents removed to make way for artistic devices ppropriate to the day. A Meinmahle I'tterance. Pictures of (re n. Garfield in military and civilian attire, framed in immortelles, can be counted by the hnudreds, while there are numerous counterfeit presentments of President Harrison, Vice President Mor ton, and Grover Cleveland. .Not a few pictures of tbe late Gen. Grant are also displayed. The front of one business block has tbe memorable inscription upon can vas in letters nearly two feet high: "God reigns and the government atr Washington still lives." Some of the emblems of last presidential campaign have also been resur rected, and here and there visitors are re minded that the battle cries of uTippecanoe aud Harrison too, and also "Protection to American industries, have not been for gotten. Arrival of the President. President Harrison and party arrived at 2 p. m. yesterday, and the carriage in wbich the president was drawn to the Euclid avenue residence of Commodore Eels could hardly maka its way alone tbe streets, so easier were hundreds to shake bauds with the chief magistrate. The ar rival was heralded by a salute fired by the U. S. steamer Michigan, and the pres ident was welcomed by the local reception committee, headed by ex-President Hayes and ex-Congressman Charley Foster. The escort was a detachment of the Forest City troop, of which Webb C. Hayes was in command. (irand Rush to the Reception. Over 15,ono people attempted to partici pate in the public reception given last night by Presideut Harrison. Less than one-third of that number succeeded. The reading room of the Stillman house. which had been tendered for the event, was transformed into a floral bower. Vice President Morton stood on the rigbt of the president with Attorney General Mil ler, Postmaster General Wanamaker, and Secretary Kusk standing iu line in the order named. Behind the rank was bank of roses three feet in heigbth. Out side, the lawn, as well as Euclid avenue for a couple of blocks either way, was blocked with struggling people. A de tachment of the Brooks cadets managed to restore a semblance of order out of the chaos of the lawn, the doors were opened and the populace commenced to pour in. They kept at it for two hours at the rate of forty a minute. Firnt Retreat for "Old Tern nip." Gen. W. T. Sherman, who bad been smuggled in by the kitchen door, was as signed a place next to Secretary Kusk, but tbe latter insisted on the veteran going between the vice president and Attorney General Miller. Uncle Billy stood the hand-snaking just two minutes and then beat a retreat and was seen no more. Hon. Amos Townsend did the introductory hon ors. For an hour and tbree quarters the five firms worked like puiuphandles and five hands took on a decidedly red and flabby appearance. Every now nnd then an extra enthusiastic grip would bring an involuntary twitch iuto either Attorney General Miller's or Mr. Wanumaker's face. It Was Thoroughly Iemoertic. No partiality was shown in the matter of admittance. Laborers crowded on mill Ion aires, bootblacks were intermingled with babies; the rustic and the congress man both took their chances in the gen eral crush. At the end of the period named United States Marshal Ramsdell suggested that the president had probably bad enougn. Ine chief executive, how ever, said that he could stand it fifteen minutes more, and the lnponr was re turned. Five minutes later, however, all nut tne president, naa given up, and con tented themselves with bowing to those introduced. Tbe reception came to an end at 10 o clock, about 4,500 people having passed through the room. The Town Fall of People. Grand Army veterans. Knights Tem plar, Knights of Pythias, and other civic bodies and visitors unclassified poured Into the city throughout yesterday and to day, and lodgings were at a premium. A score of detectives from New York, Phila delphia, Buffalo, Pittsburg, and other points are here to look out for about five times that number of knaves, who bave centered here in the expectation of reaping a harvest. THE LEE MONUMENT UNVEILING. Salient Ioint of the Speeches, nnd Inci dents of the Event. Richmond, Ta., May 30. There never was such a gathering in this city in all its history, in point of numbers, as that of yesterday. Old residents liken it to that memorable springtime of 1SA1, when the gray uniformed troops began to gather for the long and bloody struggle. It does not need a vivid imagination to nee that the two pictures, if placed side by side, would bear a close resemblance, for then, as yesterday, tbe busy thoroughfares were filled with soldiery and the stars and bars had already been flung to the breeze as the symbol of a new confederacy. But yes terday there were 100 Confederate em blems where then there were but one. Jnbal Early Introduces the Orator. After the procession was over and the vast throng had been brought to some sort of order, Gen. Jnbal Early arose and Introduced the orator of the day, Col. Archer Anderson. Early referred briefly to tbe beginning of tbe movement to build a monument to Gen. Lee, and in tbe coarse of his remarks said that be was particu larly glad to welcome the private soldier who did his duty before the war, during the war, and who bad been doing bis duty and remaining faithful to bis colors ever since. The Dedicatory Oration. Col. Anderson's oration . was an elabor ate panegyric, eloquently delivered; a comprehensive analysis and a brilliant portrayal of the character and career of the famous Confederate general. It delin eated his social, moral and intellectual traits, his military achievements, and bis life work, which, in the opinion of tbe ora tor, amply justified lavish admiration. Comparing Lee to Washington, he said: "It is the singular felicity of this great commonwealth of Virginia to have pro duced twoucb stainless captains, and millions of our countrymen.- will this day confirm our solemn declaration tbat the monument to George Washington has found its only complement and companion in a monument to Robert Lee." Tbe speak er said tbat Lee had been offered the com mand of the Union army, but that "in manifest sacrifice of all his pecuniary in terests, he determined tbat duty bade him Bide with his beloved Virginia." The Day of Appomattox. Coming to the end of. tsaVwarCoL An- derson said: "In those hsft solt-n .n scenes, when strong men, losing all self-control, broke down and sobbed like chi dren, Lee stood forth as great as in the da y of vie-1 tory and trinmph. No disaster crushed j bis spirits; no extremity of danir rnfned his bearing. What a ca strophe! What a moving and pathetic contrast! On the one side, complete and dayjding tri nmph, after a long succession of humiliat ing disasters; on the other, absolute run and defeat. But the magnanimity of the t onqueror, not less than the fortitude of tbe van quished, shone ont in the sole nn scene, and softened its tragic outrfue f fate and doom. Gen. Grant's Example. "The moderation and good sense of the northern people breathing the large and generous air of onr western world quickly responded to Grant's example, and though the north was afterward betrayed into fanatical and baleful excess on more than one subject, all the fiercer pa sions of a bloody civil war were rapi'lly extin guished. There was to be no Poland, no Ireland in America." The orator closed with an eloqent peroration, prefaced with Demosthenes' words applied to Lee s course: "I say tbat, U the event had been manifest to tbe whole world beforehand, not even then ought Athens to bave for saken tbis course, if Athens hd any re gard for her glory, or for her past, or for the ages to come." Gov. McKlnney's Remarks. After tbe statue had been nn,-eilcd Gov ernor Mc-Kinney said it was his- desire not to perpetuate animosity or ex ite bitter ness of feeling in any portion oi tbis coun try, but to express the love anc adoration of the people of tbe south for those who had fallen in their behalf. Tl at feeling was unconquerable and eterial. Ap plause. Amid all tbe southern states there existed a feeling of love fir the Con federacy, "which," he said, "is now dead." He named each state and the chief repre sentatives which it had sent to the exer cises. As he named in siiccessi m Reagan, Longstreet, Gordon, Holt, Haiapton and Johnston, each name was gp-eted with prolonged cheering. "Not with sorrow do they come," said he, "but as conquering heroes they are here." Clotting Events of the D jr. - The day ciosed with a shim battle, which went off with but two accidents, neither serious, and at night, banquets and receptions were bld in great num ber. A pyrotechnic display w is given in the field opposite the monument, wbich was witnessed by 50,000 people. There were some evidences cf Confeder ate enthusiasm visible that were not in as good taste as the regular j rogramme. Some one climbed up the statue of George Washington in the state house grounds and put Confederate flags on tbe figure. Protests were made, but no one interfered. The Evening States has "Ko Tert E.

ELECTION OF BASKS AS SPEAKER. Nine Week's of Anrrv Debate Whleh Came Near Being a Riot Pasaago by the Senate of the Original Far a. ages Bill Over 0,000,000 Appropriated by the Hoose for Public Buildings The Senate Financiers Get to Work on the Tariff. Washington City, May 80. A reunion of survivors of the 103 members of the Thirty-fourth congress who voted for, and at last succeeded in electing, Nathaniel P. Banks speaker of the honse of representa tives, tendered him a banquet last night at tbe Arlington hotel in this city. There were present ex-Speaker Banks, Senators Sherman, Morrill, and Dawes, ex -Senator Cragin, and ex-Representatives Cumback and Dodd. Tbe contest began Dec. 3, 1855, and continued nntil Feb. 2 following. Thomas T. Flagler, of Lockport, N. Y., who was one of the 103, relates the story of the struggle ns follows: "This great contest," said he, "was one of the four links of prominent events which brought about the war. Tbe repeal of tbe prohibition of slavery ip Kansas and Ne braska was the first link bv the Thirty- third congress. This had so disrupted tbe parties that not one of the many candi dates for speaker was able to secure a ma jority in his favor. . now the Fight Was Won. "After nine weeks of fruitless effort, on Feb. 2, lSnri, a resolution was adopted by a majority vote of 113 to 103 that a plural ity should constitute an election. Un der this resolution another, the 134th and last ballot was taken. The result was Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts, 103; William Aiken, of South Carolina, 100: Henry M. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, Iewis O. Campbell, of Ohio, 4; Daniel j Wells, of Wisconsin, 1. A resolution was then passed by a majority vote declaring Mr. Banks duly elected by a plurality vote, and at 7 o'clock p. m., after an ex citing and boisterous session of seven hours, lie was escorted to his seat by Messrs. Aiken and Fuller. PiHtols and Revolvers Drawn. I never passed through so exciting a time. I have seen the days when pistols and revolvers were drawn, and many a time during those nine weeks did I take my seat expecting to see some one killed before the day s session ended. The southerners were unusually bitter, and the speeches, filibustering and florid speecbniaking which they indulged in but made the northerners more determined to carry their point. 1'oliticai difference were set aside. big and Democrat from the north were arranged against the south and southwest. Some of the Men in the Contest. "The bouse was crowded daily, and the press teemed with pictures of the scene en acted there, written by some of the ablest journalists of our country. The last ses sion, at which the 134th ballot was taken, lasted seven hours, and we virtually elect ed Banks twice to the chair before we dare make the move to place hi in there. The personnel of our number includes John M. l'errv, of Maine; Aaron Cragin and James Pike, of New Hampshire; Nathan iel 1'. Banks, L. I Collins, C. 1 Knapp, C. C. Chafee, Mark Traftin. of Massachu setts; Sidness Dean, of Rhode Island; Russel Sago, Guy K. Peyton, J. S. T. Stranahan, R. King, and Francis K. Spin ner, of New York; William Cumback, of Indiana: John Sherman, John E. Bing ham, P. Bliss, of Ohio; G. A. Grow, Joseph A Campbell, 1 Todd, and J. Pierce, of Pennsylvania; J. S. Morrill, of ermont, and myself. "Of the above John Sherman and J. S. Morrill have lieen senators and ex- speakers. Banks is now a member of the house. The others are not in public life. Morrill is now the oldest senator in con gress." SENATORS AND THE TARIFF BILL. TSet finally Agre I pon a Plan for Con itiderlng the Measure. Washington Citv, May 30. The senate finance committee met yesterday and be gan the consideration of tbe tariff bill. There was a full attendance, and Carlisle took bis seat and entered into the discus sion of the bill with earnestness. A prop osition by Sherman was agreed to, that the committee take np the bill by para graphs and either pass them for future ac tion, or agree to them as they stood in the bill as it passed the house. The proposi tion was adopted with the understanding that any paragraph, which was agreed to might lie recalled for f nture action. Tbe first thing the committee did was to vote against free alcohol for the arts. It then proceeded with the chemical list and made a number of reductions in the tariff, none of them significant or important, but all adopted by the vote of the Republican making the motion, aided by the solid Democratic vote. Voorheea States the Issue. Most of tbe items gone over in tbe four pages of the bill considered were passed without action, which seems to indicate that the senate committee had hit upon tbe way bow not to do it, and take the most time for it. During a dis cussion of future meetings Sherman want ed to meet and work ten hours a day until the work was completed, but Carlisle and Voorhees said it would be waste of time, the place for discussion was In the sen- ate. Said oorhees: "The Republican party wants a tariff constructed on tbe lines of protection; the Democrats want it on the lines of revenue." The way to do it was for tbe Republicans to go ahead and complete their bill, and tbe Demo crats would either draw up another bill or not, as they deemed advisable. Made a New Arrangement. The result of all this talk was the adop tion of a proposition turning the matter over to a sub-committee on each side, the Republican sub-committee to prepare schedules and submit them to the Demo cratic, and rice versa. Sherman and Vance voted against this. Later the committee decided to give bearings to flu porters Tuesday night, and still later tbe Repub licans got together and made considerable progress on the chemical schedule. The Democrats bave decided not to prepare bill. They will submit a minority report and content themselves with offering amendments to the hill in the aeuate. Bock Island as a Port of Delivery. Washington City, May 30. Among the bills ordered reported to the senate favor ably by the committee on commerce, yes terday was one to provide for the estab lishment of a port of delivery at Rock Island, Ills. The bill establishes Rock Island as a port of deliv ery in the customs collection district of New Orleans, and provides for the ap pointment there of a surveyor of customs at the salary of fCOU a -year and tbe usual fees. . TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS. A Lot of Money Appropriated for Fablla Baildinga. Washixgtox Citt, May 3"). Stewart seized an opportunity yesterday in the sen ate to give Maj. Powell, of the geological survey, a piece of his mind. He said the major kept a big lobby at work to control congress and said the bureau of geology was a great lying-in hospital for lame docks. And all this because Powell had animadverted rather severely on an irriga tion scheme proposed by Stewart. Teller introduced a joint resolution declaring that' the United States will never, never desert tbe double standard. After two or three amendments had been adopted that only the legal mind could find any differ ence between, the anti-original packages bH! was passed, with but ten votes inJD negative, among them Turpie and Voor- bees. 1 he river and harbor bill was re ceived from tbe bouse, a short executive session was held aud the senate adjourned to Monday. In the bouse Payson re "ported back the senate bill for general .forfeiture of rail way, land grants. The agricultural appro priation bill was repined, appropriating 1,154,400, (45,000 of wbich is for state ag ricultural experiment stations. Then in committee a raft of public building bills, tbe appropriations aggregating $6,200,000, were favorably passed upon, among them being those for Milwaukee; Davenport, la,; Rock Island.Ills. (475,000); South Bend, Ind. (f75,000): Madison, Ind. (0,000); Sioux City, la. (t300,OHO); Blooniington, Ills. (100,000); Racine, Wis. ($100,000); Rockford, Ills. (flOO.OOO); Fort Dodge, la. (75,000), and Sheboygan, Wis. (50,000). The committee rose, and Turpin of Ala bama, stating that he had beard tbat he wasto be "fired'' pretty soon on a contest case, asked unanimous leave to pass a public building bilL Objection was mode, and Turpin had his revenge when the next bill came up by making the point of no quorum, which was sustained, and the house adjourned to Monday. COMFORT FOR PROHIBITIONISTS. The Senate Anti-Orisrinal rack are Bill as Finally Adopted. Washington City, May 30. The text of the anti-original packages bill as passed by tbe senate is as follows: "That all fermented, distilled, or other inxtoxicating liquors or liquids, transported into any state or ter ritory for use, consumption, sale, or stor age, shall, on arrival in such state or terri tory (or remaining therein), be subject to the operation and effect of the laws of such state or territory, enacted in the exercise of the police powers, to the same extent and in the same manner as though such Honors or liauids bad been produced in such state c- territory, and shall not be exempt therefr Jm by reason of being intro duced therein in original packages or oth erwise." The vote was yeas, 84; nays, 10, and the ayes were: Allen, Allison, Blair, Call,Casey,Colquitt,Cullom, Davis, Dawes, Dixon. Dolph, Fimunds, (ieorge, llawley, Hiscock, Hoar, Ingalls, Jones of Nevada, McMillan, Mitchell, Moody, Morrill, Pad dock, riatt. Plumh, Power, Pngh, Saw yer, Spooner, Stewart, Stockbndge, al- thall, Washburn, Wilson of Iowa Tiot Comprehensive Enongh for Vest. Before the final vote was ordered Vest moved an amendment, which only re ceived five votes Vest, Call, Morgan, Payne, and Stewart. The amendment provided that the law should apply to fresh beef, veal, mutton, lamb, and pork. Then Voorhees had his "whack." He pro posed to amend the bill by making it read: "A bill to overrule tbe decision of the supreme court of the United States in Us interpretation and construction of the constitution on the subject of commerce between the several states, and thereby to relieve the state of Iowa from the couse qnencesof her own misguided legislation." This only rweived six votes. The Rase Rail Scores. Chicago, May 30.
