John Sherman's return to the United

fiitifitied with the nominee for the Legislature,
bnt they oujht to bo willing to waive
a matter of personal feeling for the welfare
of their party, their State and theii
country. John Sherman is needed in the
Senite. The opposition is lighting him
even more bitterly than it is Foraicer,
The opposition must not be allowed to gain
fa point. Republican votes must block
the way.

Cincinnati, Oct. 10.?Kight thousand
f people we present at tno Music Hall to- <
night to hoar the joint debate between f
Governor Hoadly and JuJge Foraker. 1
4 Judge Foraker opened the debate in the
following speech:
> I will begin by brielly reviewing the a
Toledo discussion. At that place Judge 1
. Hoadly devoted his entire opening speech [
to the discussion of personal liberty, and c
argued in favor of license. He led the (
' aiwlianna In think that, iltn nnlir muatlnn 3
between the parties was prohibition. In j
, answering him I pointed out that there a
, was no such issue, except such as existed
in the vivid imagination of one who lireci v
' 100 guns in honor o( Cleveland's nowina- t
nation. I pointed out that the issue was r
wholly* different?that the Republicans t
> proposed to do something practical with
I the liquor question, while the Democratic j,
, plan was to do nothiog- I pointed out
' reasons why the laat Legislature was not u
worthy of endorsement. When Judge y
Hoadly rejoined he manifested displeasure f
I because prohibition was not made aii issue. ^
s The party had BOt put in the platform
what he had asked them to; but he in &
speeches had made the issue. t<
Governor lloadly ended by an abuse of c
the Republican party, hence I will now
I" say something about that party. True, it ci
, was out of power, but it did n.t go out as c
did the Democratic party in 1800. Instead u
of being condemned, the Republican party tl
> enjoys the unqualified approbation of the g
people. tl
He tben reviewed the leading achieve- h
i raents of the Republican party, which had t]
been accepted and approved eveu by the p
Democratic party. Even Mr. Hendricks 8I
aaid there were no issues, only corruption n
i and fraud, but the books and the money, f<
; when examined and counted, showed the tl
, greatest victory o! all. He bogged Judge H
Hoadly in the presence of this audience to i
utter no more slander against the c
GRAND OLD REPUBLICAN PABTV. b
Referring to charges that memories of Jj
war were being recalled by the Republican \(
, party, he faid: ?
If that is true, then Ohio is behind Vir- I
ginia, for there the Democratic party is r
1 carrying on a campaign with only General
Leo's memory as an issue. But what Re- a
publicans in Ohio moan by reviving issues c:
i of the war was the injustice of ono man in t<
Ohio only having one-seventh the political u
, power of a Georgian. Bui 1 prefer to talk p
' about State politics and rrfer again to the &
1 charge of corruption in the election of n
i Senator Payne. The only answer of Judge U
i Hoadly was equal to a confession and b
avoidance?be only said that when Demo- tl
crats did wrong there was an outcry,while n
Republicans kept still. p
1 l)uriug tbis part of his remarks the in- t*
terruptiona were such that ho stopped, a>
. and Governor Hoadly, riainir, said: "Any S
, Democrat who interrupts Judge Foraker S
1 is acting badly." The house became still, U
1 and afterward maintained better order, h
1 Judge Foraker then went on to repiat in f(
i some degree bis charges made before ai
t against the record of the last iitate logis-. w
lature, and said: * n
Although it had been guilty of much
extravagance, I wish it had made ono ti
. mora expenditure, that of the cost of tak- ei
ing Governor Hoadly and ataf? to attend oi
tho funeral of General Grant. [Applause ] ii
Referring to the bonded indebtedness ti
' of Ohio, and tho refunding coutract at c!
> 3.65 percent, which Governor Hoadly dis
aproved, Governor Hoadly said Secretary
, Robinson had approved the contract.
I Judge Forakorsoid: 81
I have a telegram from Secretary Rrb- tl
1 inson saving that Governor Hoadly had ?
i approved that contract in the first place _
at 4 per cent.
Referring to the reorjjan'zition of Cin- a
cinnati by taking the police from the T
Mayor, he said it wis done that Lien ten- ci
ant Mullens might have full bwijt. [Oon- u
, fusion.J He charged that the disposition ai
to have the Lieutenant Mullens, in power
waiiurther shown by the refusil of the q
Democrats to sustain the fiction of the ta
Committee of One Hundred, which is 8.
; trying to prevent fraud at n?xt Tuesday's a,
I election. Judge Foraker said, returning w
to tbs temperance issue: CJ
license cud not he had under three years h
1 at the earliest. Judiis Hoadly is as much [<
a Prohibitionist as Dr. Leonard, the only
i difference being Leonard wants absolute t{
prohibition, while Hoadly wants to con- C)
trol by licensing the exclusive few and ?
prohibiting all the rest. tl

At Toledo, Judge Foraker brought in n
I questions not in this campaign?ouestionR 0
of religion, in which Judge Tait and I
1 agree, and I leave Judge Forakor to argue 1
them with Judgs Tflft. As a Judge. Mr. ai

' that he could not occupy a position of a
neutrality?that he could not l>d n .?her ft
1 for nor against. I ask him to say now J1
? whether he ifl for or sgainst prohibition. l(
The Democratic partv has never cheated
the people on the subject of tomperauce.
Referring to Judgo Foraker's statement Jj
that the Republican party lies been
proven honest by tho examination of tiifi ?
9 treasury books, ho only said that it did "
not take a very sharp man, whore he kept P1
both the books and tin money, to wake

and every Democrat was present anu
voted in favor of it; but three recreant
Republicans, who had before declared in
favor of iicenso, backed water, and in obe
iliance to a Republican caucus refused to
vote r.t all.
As to Glansdorff, the friends of Glansjorff?and
they nro numbered by the
thousands?would hardly feel friendly to
Judge Foraker for Raying that they were a
lawless and troublesome set. I hardly
think Judge Foraker was responsible for
t, as the information was handed him by
Mr. Swan, of Toledo.
lie then cited two townships in Auttlaise

As to the last Legislature, they gave

at their votes, but I know enough to do
decolored man justice. The lastLegisiture
did away with the scrip business
tat was burdening the miners. They
rovided for fire escapes in factories; for
?at3 for women in stores; for the settlelent
of all labor disputes by arbitration;
>r more mine inspectors. They extended
le work of the geological Burvey. and I
ppointed Judge Taft's brother-in-law,
idward Orton, a good Republican, to take
barge of the work I did this, perhaps,
ecause a Republican knows more about
urrowingin-the ground than Djmocrats
o. You never heard of any Bteal in the
iat Legislature. It was said they would
teal the canals, - but they still are ours,
t was said they would steal the Cinciniati
water works, but we still have them.
The refunding echeme was killed by me
(ter advice was given by the best fiianiera
in Cincinnati. As to giving positions
) soldiers, there are more soldiers in oflice
nder me twice over t^an tiudftr any Keublican
administration. The State's priju,
under Democratic management, nad
ot made any money, but convict contract
ibor bad been abolished. It is impossile
to change from the contract system to
le system of State account, and make i
loney during the change. The piece
rice plan is better than the contract sys- j
ira for two reasons. It furnishes more
icurate information on whtah to bise
tato accounts, and secondly it gives the
tate more control over the men and betsr
change for humaue*treatraent. We
ave put Ohio in the front of prison reirrn
States. Now my time is about up,
ad I wiali to say only one thing more. I
ant Jiidgo toraker to tell us whether or
ot he is for or against prohibition.
J udgo Hoadly devoted a good deal of
me to anaweringquestiona from tho audiaco.
There was no chance given Foraker
r Hoadly for argument. Qmfiulon and
lterruptlons by the audience were connual.
Tumultuous cheering followed his
lose.
80MK OV llOADLY'S MJKTAKK8.
When quiet was restored, Judge Foraker
Ud Governor Hoadly began by admitting
lathe had made a mistake at Toledo by
lying Lincoln died a Democrat, lie
ished to Bay that it was just aa much a
ilatake to say Seward died a Democrat,
he mistake arose perhaps from the same
iuse? that while Lincoln was killed by a
einocrat, 8oward was almost killed by
anther Democrat at the same time.
Referring to Auglaieo county, which
overnor Hoadly has referred to as confining
a model township, Judge Foraker
lid: I was in Auglaise county two years
40, aad was told of that township that
bile it had the waloons and tho Demorats
of which tbetrovernorspeaka, it also
ad not a single solitary school house.

He read a note sent him by a man in
ie audience who lived in Auglaiae
Dunty, saying that that township had
tore drunkenness and violation of law
jan any township in tho oounty. H4irring
to Governor Hoadly's clumpionjip.of
the colored race he asked:
How he could reoonoile with that friendliip
what he had done for this man Mulm,
who perpetrated an outrage on
jlored people at the last election ? How
juld Judge Hoadly be silent, if he !b the
iuuuui me uuiuicu inuu, wticu no kuunn
mt colored men south of the Ohio river
re prohibited from voting?
Toe question being frequently asked by
urgons in the audience; "How about
robibltion?" Judge Foraker said:
I told you iiLthu outset that the Hepubcan
party is in favor of taxation and
filiation, and opposed to the nonsense
f being in favor of what cannot be acjroplished.
It is in favor of the practical,
have cot felt called on to reply to the
rguments Governor IJoadly has made by
ppealing to the appetite and the lowest
ppetite. Governor Hoadly does not
uijprfitftnd the men of the German wards
he hopes to win their f*vor by catering

In conclusion let me say; Twenty years

New York, Oct. 10.?The blowing up
of Flood Hock to-day wan a magnificent
and wonderful spectacle, and was witnessed
by hundred* of thousands of peO?
pie. The shock felt like an earthquake,
and was perceived throughout Brooklyn
and New York, making the houses tremble,
and shaking down a few ceilings near
.the scene of the explosion, but doing no
serious damage anywhere. The crowds
that flocked the Astoria ferry boats made
the Long Island polico hold up their bauds
and dubs in mute surprise. But the
crowd that went to Astoria was as nothing
compared to the crowd that turned out
and went somewhere else. There was a
general impression that a spot far from
tho rock, but not out of sight, was a good
enough place to he in, and all conceivable
fpita ffat been chosen tarly in the day.
The little yellow house on the Astoria
landing was the fdace from which the
electric park was to be sent to fire tbo
mine, and from Jhese a good view could
be had of the different ideas entertained
by the crowd as to what was safe. There
were people everywhere, from solitary
mortals sitting on the banks of the liver,
almost out of sight, to a multitude struggling
on the New York side, which covered
the green hill just below Ninety-3econd
street, and made it look like a monster
mound of huckleberries?all berries, with
not a sign of a leaf or a twig showing
through. Looking back of the hill, and
up and down to the right and left, one
could see something like a black Arena run*

anything was visible.
TUB CENTRAL SCENE OF ACTION.
Around the little yellow house wero
gathered the lucky few who were to see
the touch that would blow tho big rock to
pieces. No busier place was ever seen
than that little spot while tho last work
was being dono. But at last the end of it
all began to be seen. The big scow which
bas teen hugging the rock for nine years
was tugged away, with its powerful crane
and with the last fragments of the dismantled
machinery. The (stars and stripes
that had been floating above the old
wooden frame towering above the shaft
wore hauled down, and then everything
over there was black.
An experiment was made with the
cftbles. A fuBe on the rock was promptly
discharged and the wires were found to
be in flue working order. Then there was
only one thing left to be done?to make
the couoectioriB with the explosives in the
rock. It was not a very pleasant task,
lor once the connection was made, if anyone
should happen to touch the instrument
on shore, good-by to the rock and
anyone then on It General Newton
thought it was his business to make that
connection, and after seeing to tho safety I
of the instrument, he set out once more on
the steamboat Runaway, with bis son, a I
Ud of 15. Lieutenant Derby, who knows
all about the work, and who seoms rather i
to like dynamite, went along too. When
they came back all right, the people bf gan
, to think about themselves. Nothing remained
but to touch a button, and then
that 280,000 pounds of dynamite and rnkaroek
in the boweU of the rook yonder
just 1,000 feet away would goolFand do its
worst. .
General Hancock,with abroad-brimmed
hat-, stoad calmly beating his legs With a
very small cane, while a still sinallw boy
[ held on to one of his knees, apparently
I firmly convinced that he bad a good
refuse from whatever danger. A dozan
'ladies, friends of General Nwwton or mem
bera of his family, remained also, because
the Ganeral had said it was sifr, and they
believed him. Finally, General Newton
told the little crowd to get ready, that the
| rock was going up in two minute. Every
man braced himself, and the yotiug
I women took an extra hold on the arms
nearest tneia. The photographers, who
1 were aimiii^ at the rock from evtry conceivable
point of view, bent their entire
(souls upon their work.
TUB MINK TOUCHED OFF.
In the meanwhile General Abbott was
delicately and gingerly bringing out into
the open air the telegraph instrument
which was to send to the dyuamite tho order
to get away with that roc it. Close to
him, with one hand olinj?ing to his coat
tails and the other reaching for tho instrument,
was a young person with p blue
dress, a big hat aud big eyes, full of the
desire to make thinvis roar. It was Miss
Mary Newton, tho General's 12-year-old
daughter. When she was 3 years old she
blew up llallet s I'oint reef, and now that
she was (our times ai o\\\, her father had
provided her with an explosion four times
aibig, and she seemed anxious to make it
go?
General Hancock said: "Ha! ha!
You're going to make a big noise, considering
your site," and then stopped, because
he could not hear himself any more.
General Abbott had stooped down. The
small forefinger of my lady was poked
vigorously down upon the key and tbe 140
tons of dynamite wero let loose. There
wai a {ambling, growling noise 83 though
a thousand bulh with brass throats were
having a pow-wow away down under the
earth, and then a trembling of ground
that recalled earthquake days. Hundreds
of thousands of eyes, fixed steadily on the
island, first saw the water tremble like a
shaken blanket, and then the stream
oponed.aud a huge black mass roeo into
thf air, as though the bot(otn of the river
were t.eiog pushed upward.
Uafore the upeotators, dazed by the
ranid nliAni'Pfl. coilld dunidii vhathor if
was mud or rock, it was lost to eight, and
there rose into the air a beautiful raoun- j

where they are needed. They found that
the channels were as clear as before the
explosion, and that no buoys were needed.
General Newton and the other engineer
say the explosion was a complete succeps,

throughout the whole extent. The.work
will be to remove the millions of pieces,

of natural gas in a pit at Godfrey & 1
Clajk's paper factory, Tarentum, Pa.,
this afternoon, three men named George !
Henden, William Garlick and Samuel ,
Abompson were seriously and probably
fataljy injured. The accident wa9 caused
by a leakage in the pipep, which tilled
every crevice in th-j pit with odorless gas.
The men not being aware of the
pressure of the gas went down into
the pit to oil the pump, takiug along
a small lamp. As soon as they
reached the bottom of the pit the gas
ignited from the lamp and in an instant
the pit was filled with a belching sheet
of flame. The report was not loud and the
was out almost as suddenly ss it came, }
but it left the three men lying on their backs
terribly burned about the face, arms
and limbs. They were removed to their
homes, where an examination of the in- i

masked men entered the house of Samp- i
son Harris, colored, on the pretense of a
looking for another man, but it id report- *
cd one of the men siezed Harris saying: a
"You are the man we want," and shot a
him twice inflicting wounds from which
he died. It is reported Harris was killed *
because he bad threatened to expose cer- 6
tain persons for whipping some negroes in t.
that neighborhood. The affair of whip- r
ping caused great indignation on the part 1
of many white people in the neighbor- t

o( their State ticket by 8,000, with the
lower House of the Legislature in doubt,
but the Senate surely Democratic, and
they expect to have the legislature on

At the Republican headquarter* they
claim Forekcr'a election by 15,000 and
eat of their State ticket by 20,000. They
laim 25 majority in the lower House, and
onceded that tiio Senate will he very
lose, making Bure of a Republican major;y

are greatly concerned for the

commercial summary Bays: "Jobbers,
manufacturers, agents, atul the commercial
claws generally, as reported by wire
this week, very generally recognize not
only that the fall spurt in business has
about spent its force, but am inclined to
concede that there is no likelihood whatever
of a boom this year. With the exception
of a few Southern cities, where
the receipts of cotton have been heavier,
and where trade' has been stimulated
thereby, there is a noteworthy check to
the late freer purchases of staple goods.
At Boston money is easy and some lime
of trade are quieter, while a few are
active here as at the East ganera'ly. Dry
roods staples are in lighter demand than
during August and September, though
some better than during the corresponding
period of last year. Jloots and
shoes continue in active request. Philadelphia
markets are not as a rule quite so
Arm, as dealers are a shade less confident.
Retailers are moro active there, as at
many other points, piinclpally Chicago,
where it is recognized that it will take
some time for the consumptive demand to
lessen the interior wholesale purchases
made within the last two weeks. A
otnnifinanf (natiiM {a //Allnr) !n tlm Vn?
York and Chicago money markets, lu
Chicago trade circles talk is lees confident,
although opinion inclines to the belief
that the improvement is here to stay, and
that "another wave of buying'' will follow
the last
There is no improvement in the iron
market. At some centers there is less demand
for pig than there whs lent w? k.
Old rails are firmer and in fairly active
demand. Anthracite coal retains the features
of improvement noted last week.
Petroleum ia dull and provisions are lesa
improved thsn was to be expected considering
the firmness shown by Indian
corn and wheat. Corn stocks are iipht,
and no new corn c*n get Eist in quantities
until December or January, wbch contributes
to the advancing tendency noted
in prices. The excessive output of Hour
points to confidence on the part of millers
is to the course of wheat prices in the
near futuro. In the less important grocery
staples there is a slightly improved demand,
but tea, eugar, ana coffee are still
iull."

veek is the total absence of speculation,
fhe reduced demand from manufacturers
s beyond all dispute, and is even less than
he sales reported would indicate, as
nany of them have been made for some
ime, and have only just been delivered.
Fhe quiet spell has enabled dealers to
nake deliveries, and the change in the
situation is aptly put by a broker, who
remarked thereupon: "No longer do we
iave to take our hat in our hand when
we go into the stores of dealers after
wool." The larger mills are well supplied
with wool and will be so for some
Lime to come, but the smaller manufacturers
have not been free buyers, and
have questioned the stability of the extreme
advance in some wools. There certainly
have been good reasons for the adwince
in medium wools, for not only have
they been scarce, but a large amount of
machinery is now running on them. The
jxtreme advance in Ohio and Michigan X
wools has hardly been realized, and a
t*ery slight tendency to weakness is noticeable;
