Dknvkk, J-'ku. 10. The Groystone ban quet, given (it the Hro.-nlway theatre last niht, proved to be an atlraet ion that filled the unllcries with thrones of people. The proceei'.niKs had a convention air about them, as it was uroierst jk1 that Governor Boies, of low, the principal speaker of the evening, would sound his first slogan for the coming campaign. When the march was lu-min into the banquet hall, which presented the picture of a bower of plants and roses, the applause and cheers shook the building. State Senator Alexandvr H. McKinley, of Colorado, and Governor Uoies, of Iowa, were in the lead. Notable Men W ho Were Present. Before the governor was permitted to take his seat, at the head of the centre table he was compelled to bow to his ad mirers. Oa his left sat Senator McKiniey, and on his ri ;ht Hon. Caldwell Veanian, of Denver, (. hers who sat at this table were Hon. Thomas I. Crittenden, ex-governor of Missouri; Hon. L. Ci. Kinne, of Iowa: Hon. Thomas M. Patterson, of Denver; Mayor lingers, of Denver; lion. Charles A. Cullierlson, ex-attorney gen-i-r.-il of Texas, and other distinguished guests. The Governor Kises to Speak. The banquet was disposed of and the last of the cig;irs bad curled away in smoke before the speeches l.guii. Sena tor McKinley made the address of wel come in In-half of the club and the mayor in behalf of the city. Kx Governor Alva Adams, of Colorado, responded to the toast "The West in Politics;'" Hon. Charles A. Culhertson to "The South and West in Politics;' Hon. J. I). tVUryau, of New Mexico, paid a tribute to "The Indies, " tnd then, amid great applause. Governor Holes arose to respond to "Democratcy of IN'-." He bowed repeatedly to the audi ence lwfore he lieirnn. Duty of the Democracy. Governor Iloics began with a brief re view of the work of building up a great community in this far western country, and then proceeded to the topic of his dis course, which was the tariff almost ex clusively. He said that in n broad sense the Democratic party "must continue to stand as the champion of " the personal rights of the individual," and applied this principle to the obligation of the party to promote tariff reform by saying that each individual has the right to he as fairly and justly treated by the country's laws as is every other member of the same. TARIFF THE SUPREME ISSUE. The f.overuor Taken the Cleveland View of the Coming Fight. He said it was not difficult to foresee the supretne'issue in 1892 the tariff. Said he: "Xo doctrine was ever more thor oughly imbedded in the creed of a politi cal organization than that asserted by modern Republicanism that the powers of this government may be used to promote the pecuniary interests of distinct classes of citizens, and no result was ever more certain than that which follows, if this lain be done, that the same powers may be used to retard like interests of other classes.' He argued the question on the tariff for revenue only line, but said that such a doctrine did not necessarily imply that American manufactures were to re ceive no benefit. The Farmer Must He Considered. He declared that nearly as many people were engaged in agriculture as in all other industries combined, and that protective tariff worked their financial ruin, and that the laws should be changed in simple jus tice so that they would be permitted to buy in markets where prices were fixed by competition, as they had to sell in that sort of market. He closed with the dec lara tion that- "We must not falter. This is the issue, and this alone will lead us to vic tory." Senator Vest Significant Letter. Several letters of regret were read, the most significant lieing from "Senator Vest. He said: "The nomination of Cleveland is, in my opinion, impossible. The man agers and tacticians in Xew York have de termined that, he shall not, and I know enough of them and of conventions to be certain that, ihey will achieve their pur pose. Now York is neccessary to the suc cess of the jiarty. If Hill is nominated he will be defeated. If the nomination comes from New York Flower is the strongest candidate. My personal preference would lie W. K. Mor rison, of Illinois, but Palmer, Carlisle, Gray or Uoies could command the full Democrat ic vole." WantH to Investigate John Sherman. Coi.lMIUS, O., Feb 10. A Democrat is member of the house of representative has prepared a resolution reciting that Hon. John Sherman has been charged with se curing his re-election as senator of the United States by duress, frauds, threats and promises in violation of the law, and asking the senate to investigate. THE WISCONSIN "GERRYMANDER." Argument Kegnn In a Notable Political Law Mi it. Madison, Wis., Feb. 10. Argument in Ihe famous 'gerrymander" case was begun in the supreme court yesterday. The re pondent moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the complainant had no staudiug in court; that the court had no jurisdiction, and that no violation of the constitution bad been shown. Ex Congressman Kdward S. Bragg appeared for the respondent, the secretary of state nominally, but the Democracy of Wiscon sin in fact, and made a strong argument. Concluded to If ear the Cats. Ex-Attorney General C. K. Estabrook, who. with Colonel Georae W. Bird and u- pienator .-pooner, represented the Kepuo lic.tii party in this proceeding, made a long affirmative argument on the right of the court to assume original jurisdiction. The court took the matter under advise nient at the noon recess, and on meeting again announced that for the purpose of this argument the court would consider the motion of General Bragg to dismiss in the nature of a demurrer, and would hear all proceedings which might belong to such. Spootirr liegan his argument, but he only spoke for shotl time when recess was taken until t.idav. BLAINE TO RESIGN HIS OFFICE. A Report Kent to New York on Alleged High Authority. Xew YoitK, Feb. 10. The Press this morning prints a special from its "Wash ington correspondent in which he says that Secretary Blaine's resignation from the cabinet will, after a reasonable inter val, follow his letter of withdrawal as a presidential possibility. Only the date at which this action shall be taken remains undetermined. The reason which Secretary Blaine will give to the president for retiring from the cabinet will be that of physical inability to continue to perform the arduous and exacting duties of his present office. The I'ress correspondent says he has authority second only to that of the secretary him self for the above statements. A (ieorgia Man for Hill. Atlanta. Feb. 10. The Rome Tribune created a sensation throughout the state yesterday by the announcement in its edi torial columns that henceforth the paper would advocate the nomination of David 15. Hill for the president. The paper has heretofore f vored Cle v ?land. Hon. John .1. Seay, the proprietor cf the paper, is one of the strongest, political leaders in Georgia. THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT OPEN. Points from the Proceedings ami Legisla tion lrooe!. I.omkiv, Feb. 10. Contrary to general expectations the attendance at the open ing of parliament yesterday was unusually large. Kverybody hail predicted that there would be a scanty showing of members of the commons, but by actual count there were over MX) present, which is said, to break the rcord for the first day of a ses sion. The lobbies and galleries presented a seene of much animat ion, and the al most universal tenor of the expression of opinion on the subject was that a dis solution of parliament was not far off. Both bouses assembled in the house of lords to hear the queen's speech. Just be fore the assembly of parliament the Irish factions met separately and held short meetings. Points from the Oneen's Speech. The principal features of the session as laid down by the queen's speech will b a bill applying to Ireland the local gov ernment system already adopted in Eng land: also some additional provisions for the English system: also a measure to in crease the number of holders of small farms in England: also a bill to extend as sisted education in Ireland, and some mi nor measures for England and Scotland. The speech opens with an expression of gratitude for the many evidences of sor row from all parts of the empire at the death of Prince Albert Victor. Har court Attacks Salisbury. Harcourt criticised the measures pro posed anil denounced Salisbury's speech at Exeter. Feb. 2. crediting to his lordship the assertion that the Roman Catholic priest hood in Ireland had always been on the tide of England's enemies. Balfour warmly defended lrd "Salisbury against what he classed as the 'distortions and misrepresentations"' of the Liberal press, claiming that the words Ixinl Salisbury really said and the words attributed to him were widely different. An Ancient Ceremony. At alnint 11 o'clock in the morning a de tachment of "Beefeaters'' arrived from the tower of Ixindou. Headed by a ser geant they made a search of the vault of Westminster hall, a custom that has pre vailed at the opening of every session since the discovery of the tJuy Fawkes plot to destroy the houses of parliament. REMARKS OF ENGLISH EDITORS. They Take OfTeiike at Our Immigration Commissioners Report, London, Feb. 10. The Standard And The Globe contain articles denouncing the report made by the American Emigration commissioners, in which, among other things, it is said that convicts are system atically sent from Great Britain to the Vnited States, nd that there has been for eleven years a thoroughly organized movement here encouraged and patron ized by the government of Great Britain for the purpose of of sending couvicts and ex-convicts to the I nited States. The Standard says it is doubtful whether a more untruthful statement was ever made in an official report. The report, The Standard adds, is another instance of the absolute inability of many citizens of the I'nited States to exercise in affairs con nected with Great Britain either imparti ality or common sense. "Scandalous and Prejudiced Remark." The ljceds Mercury, referring to the subject, says that the commission came to establish a preconceived grievance, and that there is little to justify the scandal ous and prejudiced remarks just issued. The Mercury says that it is humiliating to condescend to answer the charge which the report practically makes againt Great Britain. Touching upon the same sub ject the Manchester Courier says that after English spi-culation has built up America she closes her doors to commerce and to the poor. Taken a Vhurk at Kgnn. The. New Castle Journal also has a fling at the emigration commission report and expresses the opinion that it will stimu late the flow of sl.illed labor to the I'nited States which, it says, admits convicts not sent out by the British government, Patrick Egau, according to The Journal, is one convict not sont out by the British government and, it adds, his career will show how the Coiled Suites fostered and encouraged him. The American Kagle Scream. The Times publishes a letter from "George Winter, late Brigadier General of Volunteers, New York," which that paper puts under the headline, "An American Blusterer." In bis letter Britrndicr ticii- erai winter menaces war bit ween mo United States and England in the event of England interfering in the dispute be tween Chili and the I'nind Suites, and declares that the result of such a war wonld be the reduction of England to the tonflition of a fourth rate powef. Com rjenting on the letter The St. James Ga aette says: -With Happing wings and shrifl screams the American eagle is in great form today." ; The Royal Hotel Disaster. " New Yohk, Ib. 10.-Five more bodies were recovered yesterday from the Hotel Royal ruins. Three mote bodies have been identified Mrs J. Cohen, Lewis Ivy, and Sarah Blake.
