Major Hewitt In 1680, THE ADUT5I8TBATI0H. A Boodlers' organ has tho Impudence to in. timato that tho Administration has mixed in our local fight against thieves to tho extent of expressing a hope for Fellowh's election.

With the Btaats.ZeUung, tbo Evening Tost, the Times, Harper's Weekly and Puck all uUnch defenders of the Pres identearnestly supporting Nicoll and de manding tho -withdrawal of Fellowh, is it likely that tho Administration is on tho other sido -with Mr. Cleveland's gross libel ler and foul contemnor ?

(rZCIAL TO TBE EVXKIMO WOBLD.J Philadelphia, Oct. 31. Sympathetic Knights of Labor aro raising a groat deal of monoy for tho unfortuuato miners out of work in tho Lehigh region. Nearly 91,800 was colloctod In Itcadiug yesterday and rep. resontativos of moro than 2,000 employees of tho Beading Iron Works docidod to dovote a day's wages to the strikers' rolicf fund. This will approach $3,600. If noccssary n similar amount will be contributed monthly until tho fitrlko is ondod. Bovoral other towns are making similar efforts, Fottsvillo raised ovorJjllOO yosterdoy. Meanwhile tho scarcity of cool continues hereabouts, wliile speculators -with a grip on tho Wyoming Valley minos aro sending tons of it out West. Horeabouts retail doalers have tho groatest difficulty in getting sufficient to stocK their yards. Tho coal barons help ono another by allowing coal from tho Reading's mines to find Kb way into tho Lehigh Vnl loy, thus assisting tbo Lehigh operators to hold out aznlnst tbo strikers and supply clamoring customers with small quantities of fuel. There is no telling how long tho strlko will lost. The operators and tho men doelaro that they will never yiold. Last week thero were somo signs of discontent among tbo men. Threo collieries in tho whole region wore making a show of work. But thero wero only o fow men thoro, most of thnm " bosses " colloctod from other minos and farm hands from the lowlands, A few Knights woro said to be among tho workers. Tbo induranco of tho mon dopends entirely upon the amount of outsido support they rocelvo from tbo or conization. Promises of moro help within the last fow days have ohoored tbe strikers. Tho general impression among peoplo In the coal rogions is now that tbo strike will outlast tho year and that thoro will bo violence bo foro it ends. Tho operators own most of tho miners' homes, and, now that they aro unable to pay their rent, aro punishing thorn for striking by oviction. Tho bosses and coal and iron policemen set tho scanty furniture in tbe streets, while shivering wives and ohildron took refugo in neighbors' bouses. St. Louis, Oct. 31. The President and Ex ecutive Committee of the Consolidated Coal Company, whioh controls tho output of tho St. Louis district, met yesterday and consid ered tho demands for on incrcaso of wagos made by the miners. Tho Minors' Federa tion of Ob,io and Pennsylvania, 7.000 miners, aro represented. The demand was for an in crease from 50 to C1K cents per ton for hand mined coal, and on udvanco to mnchiuo minors from $2.25 to $2.7G per day, and to helpers from $2 to $2.40 and laborers from $1.75 to 92.1S. Tho delegates intimated that if these tonus wero not acceded to thero would bo trouble. The ooal operators agreed upon an increaso of GK cents a ton to hand miners, which falls short of tbo domand by 5 cents ; an increase of 22 cents a day to maohino miners, -which falls short moro than 20 cents, nnd 16 cents to helpers and laborers, which is Bhort 80 and 25 cents, Tho miners will meet this week, nnd tho indications are that they will roject the offer. If a striko should occur St. Louis would experience a great coal famine, ns the output of tbe whole district is consumed as fast as it is mined and there is very littlo coal now in tho hands af the dealers. Tho coal agents in this city are beginning to feel tho plnchod supply very seriously. There is already talk of nnother odvanco in rates. There was an informal conference of coal agouts down-town to-day, which will probably result in a meeting to further n rise in prices. Tho recent odvanco of thirty cents a ton by western dealers hns drnwn so much fuel in that direction thnt eastern men cannot begin to till their orders. e BWORD BEARER ON THE WARPATH.

AVithin a few days the bobses and their candidates have becamo alarmed. Thoy aro thinking moro of us than thoy did. Why, nearly every ono of tho candidates on the ' combino ' ticket has approached us with propositions. They hnvo begged us to mako somo deal or arrangement to run out of our boxes and to bunch their tickets with ours. Why, tho offers wo have received from tho candidates of tho bosses to bunch thoir individual tickets would foot up $30,000. We have had one offer to pay an assessment of $10,000. It camo from a candidate for a prominent offlco on tho 'combine' ticket You may depend upon Irving Hall being straight. Our salvation is in defeating tho bosses who havo tried to throw us out of tho party. Irving Hall will havo a box on election day in every election district from tho Battery to the Bronx. We will havo four mon at each box, and that alone will form an army of over three thousand. We are not blowing when we say that wo aro good for 10,000 votes at tho low est calculation, for Nicoll. I do not beliovo that tho ' combino ' ticket will get 70,000 votes." POWEn DEr-ENDDia ON A DEAL. Although yestorday was Sunday tho bosses woro very busy. Boss Power spent tbo en tiro afternoon with ex-Mayor LdwardCoopor, at tho 'latter's resideuco on Washington bquare. Lust night ho was in conference up to a late hour with his leading subjects at tho Now Amsterdam Club. Thero is no doubt whatovor that Powor is depending upon deals and "othor arrangements'' to cleot Col. Follows, He is getting more frightened etery day. He knows that only tho machine Democratic voto can be counted ou for his candidate for District-Attornoy and to offset tbo heavy Demooratio voto that Nicoll will got, ho will try to obtain tho maohiuo Republican voto in downtown dis tricts for Fellows. Then Power has his eye on tho voto of the Labor partv. Ho lias been trying to cut into it, but his overtures havo been indigunutly refused. Tho leaders of tho Labor party have in formed Power that they and their followers cannot bo bought. Mr. Louis F. Post, tho Labor candidate for District-Attorney, is a bincero friend of tho Labor cause, nnd is well known mid immense, ly popular with tho United Labor peoplo. Ho is nbout tho last man they would dcbert. Then tho workingmen who aro mem bers of the United Labor party hate Tam many Hall and tho County Democracy nnd thoir bobsus. No trade, bargain, salo or money can deliver thoir votes to the can didates of Tammany Hull nnd County Democracy. The Labor party w us organized to ocrthrowbobscs and their political prin ciples, Tho workingmen also know that Mr. Nicoll's platform is " oppression to npuo i justico to all." Ho knows no law to protect tbo rich and to convict tho poor. Many friends of Mr. Nicoll predict that ho will re. cuivo thousands and thousands of votes from tho United Labor party. A cry bus gouo up nil over tho city from Democrats who havo tho interest of tho party lu tno city, stato and ntitiou at heart, for Col. Fellows's withdrawal from tho ticket. Democrats who nro not Demo, cruts for tbo sake of office are almost unanimous in their opinion that bo should resign his candidacy. If he does not withdraw tho cflect, it is hold by ninny of the most tiromiliout Democrats in the city, will bo disastrous to tho Btato ticket and may result iu New York being carried by the Republicans in tho Presidential coutost of next year. Mayor Howitt, ox.Mayor Cooper nud Boss Powor are receiving de. snatches every day from Democratic chiefs In oil parts of tho Btnto and nation asking for Col. Fellows's withdrawal. Boss Power, howovcr refnses to givo tho word, and Col, Fellown is afraid to hint that bo would like to get out of u race in whioh he is doomed to an inglorious and nn ignominious do. feat. The wish of the State Committeo is for bis withdrawal. Gov. Hill wishes him to withdraw. Tammany Hall would bo i&sifkk-, "In 'lis" lirtl'Tfti'VIf'iAlkVViltfirftiP,ikwTi?lMI'iftrtsl more than pleased nnd bo would all tho can. didates on tho Union ticket if ho would gracofully retire. The general opinion is that if ho docs not withdraw tho cntiro Btato and county tickot will be beaten. The headquarters of the Independent Citi zens' Committee, in tho Hotel Bartholdi, aro tho most commodious and handsomest in the city. Thero is a suite of seven rooms, tho two largest fronting on Broadwiiy. There is no gathering of office-holders nud " work ers" thoro, but there is tho constant coming and going of citizens and business luon.
