known in political circles, and is especially
imtireablo in the present course of

In iVf.'itleiit Cleveland's famous Free

iln- President was particularly careful |
to l?e silent respecting the enormous
tariff on sugar. Out of Si'li',000,0001
collected on importation of every kind
last year over $58,000,000came from sugar
alone, which is equivalent to more than
one-fourth ??f the Custom's revenue for
the year. Wiien Mr. Cleveland penned
his 'nn.HSjiL'e he knew that one of the I
largest trusts ever organized in the
world, the sugar trust, was in full operation
ami that if a Protective tariff was
helpful to that trust he was Riving it all
tin- ai<lt hoth official and personal, in liis
jfiwvr. Ii the. words of his message arc

these countless millions upon the

country for an article of universal use
among'the families of the land? Or
was

and active Democrat of New York City, |
m?jieared before tho Ways and Cleans
Committee, and according to the statement
made in open Senate by Mr. Alii-'
sun, of Iowa, obtained such an arrange-1
nientof duty as was equhalent to $0,fVKWHNl
in the j oekets of the trust.!
[Sensation.] If, therefore, the price of
sugar has been unduly advanced
t.? tlio consumer, the responsible
parties, according to tho
President's doctrine, are theJI'resident
himself and the Ways and Means Committee,
who concocted the .Mills bill in
tin; interest of that trust. 1 think, moreover,
that wherever you find one of the
iK'iT&sitics of life cornered and controlled
by an association of men for tho
of reaping undue profit, you
will fin*i the supporters of Mr. Cleveland
at the head of the movement. We all
know that a salt trust exists in
this country and tho man who is
now at the head of*it, openly and
avowedly conducting its fl flairs is Wel,
v lington U. Hurt, the present Democratic,
.stndidate for tiovernor of Michigan.
.Mr. Hurt is earnestly advocating tho removal
of all duties on salt. This would
twin another form of contradiction of
the President's theory that Protection is
the ilr*t cause of all "trusts, and it likewise
hilly justifies the ground taken
daring this canvass that trusts exist

that has :i strong bearing, I think, on
Mr. Wellington It. Hurt's salt trust. I
hold in my hand a copy of the London
of September f?, from which I
learn that they are forming a "salt trust"
in England. The statement in the Times
as quoted from the Kugliah papers locally
interested is this:
"The ellorts to form the great salt
trust l?as succeeded beyond the most
sanu'uino expectations. All the Che?l?ire
salt works have been provisionally
acquired bjr a London syndicate represented
by Messrs. Fowler A Co., solicitors,
Westminster, and negotiations
are proceeding favorably to |>ur base
all the extensive works in Worn-stcrshiro
ami Durham. The capital
required is fixed at three million pounds
*U>tling ami has been subscribed in advancc
many times over. In consequence
"f Jthe mononly thus created, it is expected
that the price of common salt
now sold at 2 shillings ('? pence will rise
to 10 shillings."
Let me ask now if any man in Indiana
Wttw that Mr. Wellington 11. Burt's
Bait trust in the United States and this
xreatsah trust in Euglaml are likely to
prove rivals to each other? Do you
thiuk they will cut down prices and deprive
I'nrli other of their respective
profits when the English trust points
out the way to increase the price of salt
four folds at a single jump? Do you
tliink Wellington K. Burt is the modest
man to say no to a proposition to unite
the two trusts? All stockholders on the
cruund flooraro both united in an agreement
to advance salt :UKJ per cent to the
onsuiuir in Great Britain and the
United States. [Applause anil lattghtir-l
Thus you see the danger apparently
without a remedy that will follow
international trust organized on the
basis of free trade.

Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 10.?Information i
reached this city to-night of a terrible *
accident which occurred on the r
Lehigh Valley Railroad nt a place called ,
Mud Run, the iirst station above a
Penn Haven. A grand parade of Catholic
societies took place at Hazleton to- j
day and a largo excursion was run y
from Wilkcsbarre for the occasion, fl
composed of lodges, bands and j
sight-seers froui Wilkcsbarre, Nanticoke c
and other points along the line. The t
excursion train was run in two sections
and upon their return trip r
, to-night, the rear section ran
into the forward section about

the Stt'niuer Queen. t
Nkw York, Oct. 10.?The National
Line steamer Queen, which arrived to- B
day from England, collided with the fish- I
ing schooner Madeline and twenty per- \
sons perished. * t
The collision occurred at 2:80 o. m. i
Friday last, duriug a fog off the banks of t
Newfoundland. The Queen struck the t
Madeline Amidships, cutting her in two j
and sinking her immediately. The cap- ]
tain, first and second mates and steward
of tho fishine schooner, were rescued r
after they had been in the water nearly 'j
an hour, but the rest of tho crew, num- t
bering twenty, were lost. In the col- t
lision, the Queen lost her bowsprit and {
foremast. Tho Madeline was a French ]
fishing schooner. ,
Tho captain of tho Madeline was seen j
on board tho Queen soon after sho was
docked. He said that his vessel sailed
from Granville eight months ago. They
had a very good tishing season along the 1
hanks of New Foundland and tho night i
before tho collision hud weighed anchor
and set sail for Havre. They expected
to arrive there in two months. A few
minutes before 1 o'clock on the morning
of last Thursday the Madeline was head '
east northeast, and was sailing with a '
light breezo at the rato of three or four 1
miles an hour. The weathf r was very
foggy and they could only see a short 1
distance .ahead: "Tho first I knew 1
about the steamer being near was see- ,
ing her lights," the captain continued,
"the Queen seemed to be coming up
at full speed. The next moment came

how struck the Madeline on the starboard
side, directly amidships, and cut
her dircctlv in two. Before wo could
lift a hand togettho boats the vessel had
sunk. The next thing I know I was
' struggling ill the water, Two boats were
lowered from the Queen and 1 was
taken aboard. Twenty-one of tho crew
. perished. They wero asleep in their

New York, Oct. 10.?Tho following
neaty letter explains itself:
AVasiii.voto.n City, D. C., 1
Octobers, 1888. /
My Dear Sir: I aui asked to make u
itatement of the history of contract labor
egislation, respecting which your repretentative,
lion. William I). Bynum,
nade in tjio House of Representatives,
August IS, 1888, an incorrect and incomplete
statement.
In 180-4, July 4, a bill became a law,
the principal section of which declared
ralid in law ull contracts made by immigrants
to the United States from foreign
countries whereby inunigrunts shall
iledgc the wages of their labor for a term
iot exceeding twelve months to repay
he expenses of their immigration, and
provided that such advances, if so stipuated
in the contract, and the contract be
ccorded, shall operate as a Hen upon
my land thereafter acquired by the imnigraut.
It was also provided that no
uch immigrant should be eompnlsorily ,
enrolled for military service during the
txisting insurrection, unless ho relouueed
voluntarily his allegiance to i
he country o! his birth ami declared
lis intention of becoming a citizen of
be United States.
The passage of such a law was recotunendeu
in Mr. Lincoln's message of
X'ceinbcr, 18<k'{. Tho reason given was
that the Nation is beginning to need
ifc" ifiuler the sharp discipline of war
vhich depleted our workshops and maerially
lessened the supply of labor in
very department of industry and meehlni8m.,
It was, therefore, recommended
is a war measure, and passed as such.
TIIEOKIUISAL BILL
Missed the Senate March 2,18(54, without
lissent. In this body at that date were
itich Democrats as Charles K. Buckalcw,
if Pennsylvania, now a Representative
.. nnnnwrnu. c..nnrn Iiead Kiddle and
iVillard Saulsbury, of Delaware, now
Chancellor of that .State; lleverdy John*
ion, of Maryland; Messrs. Powell and
jarrctt Davis, of Kentucky; Thomas At
Hendricks, of India, late Vice-President,
md Mr. McDougall, of California. On
he 12:id of April, 1804, a like bill was
maniiuously reported from a select
rommitteo of the House and passid
that body. The members of
hat committee representing the
Democratic minority were John Law, of
Indiana, and James S. Rollins, of .Mislouri.
Some differences between the !
iU'o bills were reconciled in a committee
if conference, and the hill as reported by
ho conference committee passed both
louses without opposition. In the
louse were such Democrats as Samuel
5. Cox, Fernando and Benjamin Wood,
iml James Brooks, of Now York; James 1
3. English, of Connecticut; Alfred P.
Silver ton and William S. Ifolman, of
nuiana; John K. Edeii and William II, |
Morrison, of Illinois; Samuel J. Randall,
>f Pennsylvania, and GeorgeII. Pendleon,
of Ohio. .Most of these are yet in
mblie life and in good standing in the
democratic party. Of the entire memtership
of the Congress the only person
vho expressed any opposition to the
ncasure was .Mr.Saulsbury, of Delaware, ,
vho said that he did not think the
Jevernmcnt of the United Suites had
imv nnwni* nvnr this Sllbicct.
On the 4th day of July, 1804, Abra- '
iatn Lincoln approved the act. This i
>ill remained in operation three years
tnd a half, and on the 30th duy of March,
S(J8, was repealed by the fourth section
if the Consular aud Diplomatic act of
lint year. (Seo United States Statutes, |
olurae 15, page 58.) These are simple
acts.
UYNUM's MISREPRESENTATIONS.
The Honorable William I). Bynum, of
?onr city, in his recent speech iu the
louse, declared< that the Iiepublicans
done were responsible for this measure.
The record shows this not to bo the fact.
It was recommended by a Republican
^resident and enacted by a Kepublican
Congress, but with the concurrence of
bo entire Democratic minority, except
Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, whose quesion
was as to the power to nass, and not
is to the expediency of tne act. Mr.
iynum further states that thu repealing
aw did not pass until 18S5. I suggest
hat he study the statutes of the United
states, lie will find that it was repealed
leventeen years before, and by the
inaninious vote of the two houses composing
the Fortieth Congress, which was 1
Itenublican in both branches.
The increaso of immigration consequent
upon this act was very slight.
L'he averiigo immigration per annum for
he ten years from 1851 to 1800, incluiivc{
was L'5!),884. The average immigration
for the ten years from 18(11 to
i870, inclusive, was 240,075. The aver
IgO lor 1110 VCfare Ol m1u uaibwuw v? una
aw was only 200,(133.
FACTS OF HISTORY,
Tho history of tho act of 18S4, pronibiting
tho importation of foreign contract
labor, to which also Mr. Bynum
refers, is this: It passed the House of
Representatives unanimously Juno D,
IS84. When it caino up in tLe Senate in
the second session of tho Forty-eighth
Congress, February 17, 1885, the record
shows a considerable Democratic opposition.
Mr. Bayard moved to striko out
the third section, which was the penalty
section. For that twelvo Democrats and
no Republican voted. Mr. Coke, of
Texas, moved that labor to bo employed
in agriculture and stock-raising should
not bo included in the prohibitions and
tenuities of tho act. For this thirteen
etnoerats and one Republican voted.
Mr. Morgnn moved that the act should
not apply to the agent of a State seeking
to induce immigration to such State from
any country in Europe, or from Great
Britain, Canada, Mexico, or any Central
or South American State. For that
sixteeu Democrats and no Republican
voted. For a provision that tho act
should not apply to any person who in
good faith should assist persons and
families to come from any of those countries
for the purpose of permanent settlement
in any State or Territory of the
United States, sixteen Democrats and
one Republican voted, * orn suusuuue
offered by Mr. Butler,of South Carolina,
materially weakening the bill, fourteen |
Democrat* ami no Republican voted.
On an amendment by Mr. Blair, of Now
Hampshire, to strengthen the bill by
directing that the District Attorney oj
the proper district should ho charjrea

Of teen Democrats and no Republican

of the bin eight Democrats nnd one KepublicAn
voted negatively, the Republican
becauue ho thought the bill would
be ineffectual. The record shows that

Senate in the second session. It provided
that in the erection or construction

Xi:\v Yomc, Oct. 18.?The registration
in Now York and Brooklyn thus fur
shows a largo increase over last year and
preceding years. That of yesterday was
larger than ever before. The increase is
fur beyond, proportionately, the growth
oi those two cities, and shows a pheuominal
interest in the political situation
this fall. Whenever ? condition of
this kind has existed it has been followed
by an increased Republican vote and
u lessening of Democratic majorities
here that has had a decided bearing
upon the result in the .State.
New York being one of the .States
which the Democracy have insisted
upon calling their own in this campaign,
the registration would show
what the Republican managers have
all along held, that the sentiment in the
State is most decidedly for the Republican
candidates and the principles which
their candidacy demonstrates. The
three Republican districts show as much
gain as the six Democratic districts,
with the exception of less 255) votes.
This would indicate an increased Republican
registration of about fifty per
cont over that maule by the Democrats.
John I. Davenport, who is more famil
iar with registration statistics in iiiks
city than any one else, says that it
showed intense activity in U publican
circles and comparative apathy among
the Democrats. c. it.

purso of $1,000 and the Police GaztUc'diamond
belt, took place early this morning
in a barn not over 100 miles from New
York. After eleven fierce and desperate
rounds wero fought, lasting 42 mmutes
and 40 seconds, McAulifFe knocked his
man out by a terrific left-hander on the
stomach, und a right-handed swinging
blow on the car, thus winning the battie.
Dacey was completely overmatched
from the start, but made a fair showing.
McAuliflo gained first blood in the ?
second round by one of his terrific lefthanded
smashes on Daeey's nose, lie
did most of the leading and his repeated
rushes were too much for Dacey to stop,
lie repeatedly sent bis left at Dacey s
face with terrible force, the latter ducking
in a vain eflort to get away. MeAuliflb
would then upper-cut him unmercifully.
Dacey landed some savage
right-handed swingers on MeAuli U'e's
jaw, and in the sixth round the crimson
was trickling from McAuliffe's nose from
a visitation of Daeey's left. w
Not more than lifty of the most select
sporting men witnessed the contest.
McAulille was in the pink of condition
and looked ns if he could fight for a

Chicago,Oct. 10.?TlK^trikinj? north
ride car men had a secret' meeting last
night. The committee which conferred
ivitli President Yerkea reported and its
let ion vras approved. It was resolved to
invite 110 further conferences with Mr.
Verkes. After tho secret session tliere
was a public meeting.
Tho Chicago .Seamen's Benevolent
Union adopted resolution# expressing
sympathy with the strikers and ottering
aid.
Some of the men who came here from
Philadelphia aud havo since gono over
to the strikers, claim that the situation
kvsuj misrepresented to them; that they
understood they were to ho employed
on a new cable line and not that they
ivere to take striker's places. They profess
to have left good places in Philadelphia
and express themselves as very
mgry at the treatment they have received
from the company.
Tho Knights of Labor Council, in
vhieh are represented all the Knights
)(Labor in Cook county, at a meeting
ast night adopted resolutions endorsing
he action of the striking street ear men
md promising tlieui moral and financial
support. Tho ollicers were instructed
inform the General Kxecntive Board
it Philadelphia of the trouble in the
assembly composed of the North Side
ar men, and the Kxecutive Board of
he Council was autlioriml to investirate
tho facts and report on them. The
liscussion proceding the adoption of
his resolulion*covered the entire case,
rom the time when about three mouths
igo the matter was lirst brought ui> by
lie Council. A feature of the debate
vas that although the Council is in its
nujorityeom nosed of the most conserva*
ivo among the Knights of Labor, the
inly fault they had to find with the editors
of the earmens' assembly was that
hey did not strike n week ago instead

ire vails, however, that the public will
lave much more trouble in preserving

No attempt has been made as yet to

A SEKIors MOT.
The first attempt to run a car on the
iVest Side was mado this afternoon and
esulted in a serious riot. It was be
ween '.i anil 4 o'clock when n single car \
vas pulled out of the Western aveiuc
barns, guarded by a half-dozen po- ,
icemen headed by Captain Aldrich, of (
he West Side. The crowd Blood twenty

loliee were arranged on the inside of ,

vindow before the car had proceeded

he Moor, while a shower of stones '
>elted the sides of the car. The driver
icld the reins bravely, though his face
vas as white as a sheet. At the second
hower of stones a half brick struck
lim on the teniplo and he fell
ichind tho dashboard. lie iiu- |
uediately arose and once more took
ho lines. The car wm stopped for the
bird tune at Warren Avenue. Oapt. 1
Udrich was hit and his scalp [cut open.
I'hns far the police had used only their
lubs. The car advanced to the intersecion
of Madison street and there the poico
arrested a man, but in less than a
ninute 100 strikers had piled on the no*
iceman and rescued tho prisoner. The I
;ar now turned the corner and started
lown Madison street. Tho infuriated
nob followed, throwing stones. At :
-.eavett street a mob rushed out to the
itrcet and boarded the car attempting to
Irag the driver from his position. A
latrul wagon load of policemen rode in
rout and behind the car. They
Unmounted and charged on the crowd.

From that time on there was not

Lynchers Indicted.
Ciiaulesto.v, III., Oct. 10.?The inlictment
by the Grand Jury of nine citzens
of Mattoon for tho lynching of
William Moore on June 23, is the sennaion
here. Those under indictment are

Hie social standing of the defendants
und the unusual procedure have led to
onjectnres as to the result. Moore was
arrested for an alleged assault upon
Mary liautngartnor, who, it is claimed,
was of immoral character. At lOoclock
at night one of tho Sheriff's deputies received
n telegram from Mattoon stating
that a mob was beinp organized there

When the mob, to the number of 150

jail, they found the iron doors fastened,
but alter much difficulty succeeded in
breuking down the barriers. Tbev soon
had the prisoner out and hanged him to
a water tank half a mile from the jail.

Outcome of Clevelnmri ProroUes-K?|iort
ot live Civil Service InvcutlgiiUou Committee.
Washington', Oct. 10.?The special
coinmitteo appointed under the resolution
of the Senate, several months ago,
to investigate the operation of the Uivii
Service law, lias completed its work;
The report of Senator Hale and the
majority of tho committee, which is now
ready, tills liftv pages. It is divided
into chapters devoted to the different
States in which the committee made investigations,
viz: New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Indiana.
Tho testimony taken from time to time
at New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington is reviewed. ' The testimony,
which was publicly taken, has
all been published. The "Widow MeGuinness
j>ig rattle" is fully described,
and in this connection tho committee
states its conviction that the surveyors'
department iti New York "contains I
what the President has described as a
'horde of o/licc-holders with a zeal born
of benefits received and fostered by the
hope of favors yet to come, standing!
ready to aid with money and political
services/ "
The report accuses the New York offlcials
of political discrimination and offensive
partisanship; says that drunkenness
among the New York employes
while on duty is a common failing; and
that civil service examinations are not
'Pi,,. "in innlr
ing inquiry as to t le condition oi the
civil service in the State of Maryland,
and more especially the city of Jlaltimore,
it was touud that tliero was a very
Reneral impression among all classes
that the federal service had been controlled
altogether hv political influences
under the present administration, and
tho testimony taken by the committee
confirms this view."
In conclusion the committee summarizes
the civil service situation as
follows:
"The investigation nmdo by tho committee
and the facta therein brought
forth establish these things beyond con
trove ray:
"First-?That partisan changes have
been made in the Federal offices in a
wholesale way, under no pretense that
the good of the public service demanded
Hitch changes^n most mnrktil instances
these changes have been followed by
scandals in the public service.
"Second?That Federal officials
throughout the country, contrary to the
directions of the President, as found in
his letter of July 14, 1880, have freely
and openly participated in political conventions
and primary movements, using
their official iufluence. In no case does
the committee Hud any Federal officer
has been disciplined or punished for
such interference in polities, but on the
other hand, such interference has been
repeatedly recognizcd and rewarded.
"Third?That the system of levying
tolls and assessments upou Federal officeholders
for political purposes lias continued
without interruption since the
administration came into place. The
committee is persuaded that at present
throughout the country office-holders
are being generally assessed and called
upon to contribute from their salaries to
swell the campaign funds of the iJcmocratic
party.
"Itis not to be expected that subordinates
will feel justified in consult ring
as sincere declarations of policy which
uro so palpably repudiated lSy their
author, and the fact that the President
of the United States, in a campaign in
which he has a great personal interest,
contributes notoriously, one-llfth of u
year's salary for political uses, is fairly
to bo taken by those who depend upon
him for their tenure of office as not simply
an invitation hut a command to do
likewise." The committee suggests that
this subscription was in violation of
law.
In conclusion, the committee quotes
the civil service promises of the President.

Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 10.?Geueral
Master Workman Powderly, it is claimed
bvr prominent Knight of Jy.ibor in this
city, has not been so busy looking after
the interests of the order during the last
two or three years but that he has found
considerable timo to devote to the reading
of BlacksUme mid other lejral text
books.
He has about completed his preliminary
legal studies, and will soon apply
for admission to the bar. It is also said
that he is now taking lessons in languages
from a private tutor. As he has
been drawing a salary of $5,000 a year,
including traveling and other expenses,
iiniounlinj; to at leust half as much more,
many of the Knights art; inclined to
think that he should have devoted his
whole time to building up the order.
District Assembly No. 1 in a striking
illustration of tho decay of the order
under Mr. l'owderly's management. In
1880 tho District bad 00,000 members,
tiud sent fifty delegates to the Rfchuiond
convention. Now the Assembly has
only .'5,000 member. To the Jndianapolis
convention it will send but one delegate,
and the treasury is so empty that
lie will have to pay his own expenses,
or stay at home.
The rumor that LUcUraau is plotting
to overthrow Powdcrly is wholly unfounded.
It is probable that tho exGeneral
Secretary will not attend the
General Assembly.

a year the Stato Board of Labor Statistics
has been collecting information on
the Bubject of mortgages in Illinois, and
will shortly complete its tabulations for

claimed to be the first thorough collection
of statistics made in the country ot?
the subject, and will show the status of
tho mortgage records for three periods,
1877, 1880, 1880. Tho total on lands,
lota and chattels is now about $ 102,000,
000; of this amount $142,000,000 is in
farm mortgages. It has been found impossible
to ascertain accurately what
proportion of these instruments is
owned by non-resident*, but so far as
tho records show the non-resident holdings
are less than $37,000,000.

London, Oct. 10.?Politicians are discussing
the effect which the death of j
the venerable King of Holland, who will
doubtless be the next European ruler to
follow his departed brethren of Germany,
will have upon the situation. Ruinor
has already betrothed his daughter,
notwithstanding her tender years, to
half the eligible princelings of Europe.
Prominent among these was the heir to !
the throne of Kussia, whom the especially
well-informed gossips also afllanced
to the oldest daughter of the Prince
of Wales in defiance of their relationship
and the tenets of the Greek Church
forbidding marriajjefe within the limits
of such consanguinity, and other sections
of royalty with decidedly more
liberality than judgment.
There could probably he no nuptials,
the bare announcement of which would
cause so much opposition in every cabinet
on tho continent as those of the
Czarewitch and Dutch Princess, since
tho marriage, would virtually odd to the
greatest military power of Kurope a
country possessing some of tho finest
ports and several of the most profitable
colonies in the world.
Holland is a prize which tho young
German monarch longs above all others
to grasp, and those restless spirits who,
dissatisfied with the present peaceful
outlook, arc wishing that Wilhelm'seld- .
est sou could have a dozen years added
to his age, that lie might pretend to the
hand of the little Dutch heiress. It
would be dillicult to imagine a liner
pretext for a war which would end
by altering the map of Eurone
and likely might inaugurate the
rallying of tho tax-ruined and
soldier-ridden jieoplcs against their oppressors.
What makes Holland a particular
object of euvy to the neighboring
nations is the enormous development
within the hist ten years of the 2
tobacco growing facilities of .Sumatra, i
lIH'llllJKirUlllUIIMUl .UIIPl'-l'I.Wll ilMll'llill*
ed last year to nearly ?3,000,000 worth of
this product, of which more than one* '
half toutid its way to the United States. \
The dividend* of some of the companies
have heen almost incredible, and as '
much acreage i'h being put under culti- '
vation every year, the value of this staple
to Holland in the near future can 1
only he conjectured.
KKXNA AT 31UUNDSVH,1,K i
And at Iti-nuuml?The Hnmo old Speech
over ngfilii.
The Marshall county court room at ?
Moundsville was well filled yesterday to
hear Senator John E. Kanna discuss the
issues between the two great political ,
parties from a Democratic standpoint.
The audience was about the size of that
which greeted Mr. C. B. J fart on Saturdry
night last, at which the Regwler reported
about seventy-live as having
been n resent. Probahlv it \vxia u little
larger. Tho Democrats had anticipated '
ail immense crowd to hear Kenim, but i
they were badly left. From the prison
walls the guards inquired of persons i
passing by if tho town was full of
{people, and the answer invariably
! was, ' No; what is going on ?" "Why,
| Senator Kcnney is going to speak at tho
Court house, and tho town is going to
be full of people. All tho Democratic
clubs in the county are coining in. 11.
T. Anshut/. is going to ride in at tho
head of five hundred horsemen; all the
country is coming in." They had great
expectations, but the countrymen did
not get there. The average Marshall
county farmer don't run nfter free wool
politicians, and yesterday ho staid at
homo to look after his sheep. Mr. Kennil's
si>ecch was tho average Democratic
stump speaker's argument and misstatement
of fact, lie declared that he was
not a free trader; that Mr. Cleveland
was not ft freo trader. Ci rover had said
ho was not, and tho neonle ought to take
Lis word for it. Ho held the Uepublican'
jarty responsible for John Chinaman's
presence in the Uuited .States. He beg
god for cheaper clothing, cheaner blankets,
etc., ana declared that all that would
be brought about by free wool; yet wool
would go up in price if put on the free
list. Mr. Hart, of the Istelmuesckk,
he said, was starring about over West
Virginia in a $9 suit?a suit made of
ram.
But his funniest break was in his peroration
when he said that it was surprising
how littlo most of our great
men become when you get close to
thorn, and that Allen G. Thurman was
tho only man he had ever met whoso
greatness increased the more he knew
him. Many of his hearers remembered
that Mr. kenna is quite intimate with
Mr. Cleveland, and drew the infcrenco
inai u rovers groainess was oi tno

Kcnna disappointed the people.
