Irish Voters.
White Plains, N. Ym Oct. 14.?James
G. Blaine has spoken. A big crowd
from tho villages of West Chester
county went to Ophir Farm to-night
and heard tho inun from Maine. Politicians
hud tried to obtain the same result,
but failed. Tho ox-secretary, howcvor,
yielded to popular enthusiasm
and spoke. The demonstration was
spontaneous and arrange J on short
notice.
Tho idea was started this morning
and by nightfall the news that such an
affair would take place had spread over
the southern part of tho county. Tho
Republicans gathered in all their
strength and went to Mr. Reid's home.
Delegates wore present from Port
Chester, Rvo, White Plains, Mumaroneck,
Rye* Neck and the other towns
along tho Sound.
Uuon arrivinc at Ophir Farm, the
bands which accompanied the parly
played several selections, and .Mr. Keid
appeared upon the veranda. He was
followod by the distinguished party
which had gathered to meet the exBecretary.
After a few words of introduction.
Mr. Keid presented Mr. Blaine. As the
popular son of Maine stepped forward
lie was greeted with round after round
of cheers. When sufficient silence
could be restorod to permit him to be
heard. Mr. IJlaino spoko as follows:
Fellow Citizuns or New Yohk:?I
should be churlish, indeed, if I did not
make response 10 your call after you
have come peveral miles to this beautiful
home of Mr. Keid, on this pleasant
October evening. At the same timo I
am not making speeches in the canvass,
for reasons which are well known to my
frionds, and which have no connection
whatever with politics. Cicncrally administrations
in presidential elections
are challenged on account of the condition
of the business of the country, and
I submit that the Republican administration
of President Harrison can tri
umpnantiy enuuro sucu u iesi. l
plause].
I doubt if since tho government of
tho United States was instituted anybody
at any time lias seen what wo call
good timoa so general, taking in eomany
interests and spreading prosperity
throughout tho whole domain of trade.
I might appeal to New York, if the city
has overpassed a season more satisfactory
in linancial results than for tho
past two yenrs, in which tho general
effect on capital and has been more
prosperous. (Applause.)
Tho opponents of tho Ilopublican
party always represent New York as a
commercial city and not a manufacturing
one, and yet tho product of tho
manufactures of this city alone is $700,000,000.
Anything that would cripple
that great intorost would cripplo the
metropolis seriously and to a very
hurtful oxtent. Moro men in
Now York got. their living from
pursuits protected by tho tariff than
trom any oilier source. I know that Now
York is tho centro of our commercegreat
ontrepot of our trade; but all the
men engaged in commercial affairs in
and about Now York are smallor in
numbers than the men ongaged in
manufactures. Nor, if you go west,
whoro tho Democrata tins voar are
making considerable ofl'ort and doing a
vast amount 01 boasting (laughtor), will
you find it different.
Take Ohio, take Michigan, tako Indiana,
take Illinois, and the products of
manufactories arc greater in pecuniary
amounts than tho products of agriculture
in those tour great agricultural
states. So that I think when it happens
to Democratic orators who are on
the wing trying to arouse tho hostility
of tucso states against the protective
tsrifl, they will oncountor a sentiment
of which they have not dreamed. Wo
learn from* tho Democratic party
that those western states are
in a desperate condition. Tho
amount of their farm mortgages
rolls up into tho millions. You would
suppose it fabulous that the amount of
money they embrace could ever have
boon so invested. This is not so among
tho farmers in New York. It is not bo
among iho farmers in New Jersey. It
is not so among tho farmers of Connecticut.
It is not so among the faimors
of Pennsylvania. It is not so
among tho farmers of any state noarbv
whoso conditions can bo easily learned,
but t>y a singular fatality it is tho
western states that have got nil these
mortgages burdening them ana
taking tho lifo out of the people.
I do not liko to say that gontlcmon
huvo voluntarily mi.sropresentod tho
facts, but before accepting them as such,
you will do well and wisely to demand
the proofs.
The tarifl, so Democratic papers say.
is tho origin of a plutocratic government.
when wealth shall rule and poor
men shall not got their rights. I shall
venture to challenge all Htatomonta of
that kind and I shall make tho Democratic
accusors the judges of the case.
A careful examination of tho list of
wealthy men in tho country has been
published and has demonstrated the
fact to be quito tho rcverso to such an
extent, ir.deod. that in tho city of Now
York, taking the first 150greatYortunos, I
not threw, not two, not more than one
would be considered as derived from
manufacturing investments.
1 havo a word to cay about the Irish
vote. I see it stated that tho Democrats
boast 01 having the mass of them in |
their ranks this year. It is one of the
mysteries of our politics that a question
which interests England so supremely,
which is oanvased- almost as much in
London as it is in Now York, should
have the Irish vote on the side of Groat
Hritain. If the Irish vote wero solidly
for protection they could defy the
machinations of the* Democratic party
for freo trade and throw their influence
on tho side of tlie home market of
America against the tido of the foreign
markets of England.
1 know this appeal has been frequently
made to the Irish voters, but I make
it with emphasis now, for I am unwilling
to believe that, with tho light of
knowledco boforo them, they will deliberately
bo on tho sido of their former
oppressors.
I think I shall rely on my good friend
Egan, tho brilliant "and successful minister
to Chile, whom I feel especially
glad to moot at Mr. Itoid'a table this
evening, I think I must roly on him to
intercede with his countrymen?his
countrymen in two senses?not to aid
! tho Democratic party in lowering tho
standard of Amoricnn iabor by their
| potential votes and their potontial mini

Clarksduizo, W. Va., Oct. 14.?At 7
o'clock this evening the First Regiment
band paraded down Main and l'ike
streets, densely packed with people, to
the Walker house, whore for a few minutes
they serenaded the speaker of the
evening, lion. V. B. Dolliver. Thence
he wan escorted to the court house,
where a vast audience with pent up enthusiasm
way waiting to hear the brilliant
Iowa orator.
After several patriotic airs by the
band, a select quortetto sang "We'll
vote for our dear Bennie," and the
house was called to order by lion. C.
W. Lynch, and Mr. .Stuart F. Reod, of
the 'Jcleyraui, was introduced.
It Mr. Dolliver had hunted a week ho
nrobably would not have found anyone
who could get his audience into a bettni.

about half an hour and outlined in a
general, but very pleasant und comprehensible
manner, the platform und
principles of the party that is saying all
over this state "l we Wilson can't count
us out tins time."
Mr. Dolliver was then introduced
nucl spoke for an hour and a half, holding
tho attention of the vast audience
during the en tiro time. He began by
paying a glowing tribute to this his nutfvo
state, to which iio declared himself
indebted for a rugged constitution,
sound health and a hearty appotite. In
glowing terms he next contrasted tho
record of the two great parties, and
showed that the Itepublican party can
boast of a glorious past, present and
bright prospects for the future, while
tho Democracy can boast of no past
record, has no "present claims, and absolutely
no show for the future. Mr.
Dolliver is an orator and scholar and
Clarksburg has nothing but words
of praise for his magnificent speech of
thin ovnninrr. mid tlin noonlo of tho
atalo may well feel proud that his education
was begun in tho free bcIiooIs of
West Virginia, when they had just
been established by Republican pluck
and enthusiasm.

Baltimore, Md., Oct. 14.?In tho
house of deputies of tho triennial gonoral
convention of tho Protestant Episcopal
church this morning, Rev. Win.
Jones, of Arkansas, oliorod a resolution
providing that a clergyman convicted
of a serious offence, such as drunkenness
or immorality, be prohibited from
officiating tor at least ono year after
the commission of such odonce. It was
apparent that the house was not ploased
with this motion -its necessity was
questioned?when the threatening muttering
and expressions were stillod by
a motion to lay it on the table. Dr.
Jones said ho had known many instances
during his life in tho west, of
clergymen boing drivon from their
posts in ono diocese, and immediately
assuming their clorical functions in another
diocosc.
Tho report of tho committee on
hymnal which had boon made tho order

for the vast crowds that will as-1
Boinblo at tho World's Fair dedication
exorcises in tho colossal structure
I known as tho manufacturers' building
wore rapidly nearing completion to|
day. There will bo seating capacity for
GO,000 poraons, with scarcely one-third I
of the building occupied for the purpose,
so that nearly 200,000 will find
room in the aisles and other parts of
tho vast structure. Forty-seven car
loads of new chairs for the spectators
have arrived.
The lighting facilities consisting of
250 electric lights of 2,000 candle power
each were being suspended this afternoon
from the massive roof in clusters
of four and six. A force oi 700 mon
were employed in tho manufacturers'
building preparations alone. Down

loaded with decorating material and
everywhere along the curbs, oxpressmen
were unloading bundles ol flags
and bales of bnnting, while decorators

manner that loft no doubt of their calling.
The committee which has charge of
the arrangements for the dedicatory ball
hold a meeting at Genoral Miles' oiiice
this aftornoon and decided to sell no
more tickets for admission.
All along Michigan avenue windows
are being otl'ered for rent for the day of
tho parades. Prices that seem astounding
are demandod for tho privilege of
peering through one tenth of a window
for a couple of hours. In one place $o0
was asked for the use of a small room
with two windows fronting on the lino
of march. It was explained by tho
loesee of tho building that twenty persons
could view the parade through
these windows, and that after all, $2 50
per person forsucli accommodation was
not exorbitant.
With a fow exceptions tho hotel
keepers have not taken advantage of
tho demand for accommodations to
raise rates. It is tho custom for tho
first class hotols to charge a uniform
rate throughout tho house and first
come lirst servoU. mat is, 11 mo nrao
class rate is $1 per day on- the- parlor
floor, it would be tho same on tho top
floor. However, to the disgust of the
reception committee, one ot the largest
of the hotels has taken advantage of
tho situation and is charging^m exorbitant
price for accommodations with
four beds in a room.
A pleasant relief to disagreeable feattures
was afforded by Chief Tomlins, of
tho music department, who to-day orderod
that all band* marching in the
civic parade should play in unison, ana
that all tunes liko "Turara-boom-de-ay"
should be discarded. Only tho very
best patriotic airs aro to boused. Another
agreeable announcement is that
with good weather people will bo taken
out on I.ako Michigan tho night of tho
fire works display. Arrangementshavo
been completed to sond a number of
ptoainers to anchor oil Lincoln and

London, Oct. 14.?The fact that tho
Princo of Walos absentod hiinsolf from
tho funornl of Lord Tonnyaon on Wednesday,
in order that ho might attend
tho New Market races, is provoking considerable
comment. Ilis ac:ion is especiallv
dilated upon by certain radical
journals, which appear anxious to make
a sensation similar to that occasioned
by the baccarat scandal in which the
princo was involved. Tho Prince of
Walos, accompanied by the . Duke of
Cambridge, visited Now Market oil
Wednesday and saw the race for tho
Czarewitch stakes. Ho was made tho
object of a popular ovation when his
horse Virgil won tho stand nursery
plate, a handicap, of 200 sovereigns.
This rare immediately preceded the
one for the Czarewitch stake?. His absence
from Westminster Abbey would
havo been loss remarked upon but for
the fact that not a singlo royal personaire
was present at tho funeral, though,
as tho defenders of tho royal family
strongly emphasize, they wore represented
by two generals and two colonels.
besides numerous splendid
wreaths.
Tho efforts being made to arouse
feeling against the prince will fall flat.
It is generally felt that his partiality
for tho lighter side of national life is eo
marked that to show regret over tho
death of Lord Tennyson would he mere
hypocrisy.
Those agitating against his absence,
however, contend that his presence
was necessary, ndt as an expression of
his own personal feeling, out as tho
next head of the nation assisting at a
national event.
lawson'h defeat.
The defeat yesterday of Mr. Lawson,
the Gladstonian who contested tho Cirencester
division of Gloucestershire
with Colonel Master, Conservative, is
keenly felt by the Liberals, who, though
they expected a tough tight, hoped to
retain tho seat. This ia tho lirst lo3s
the Liberals have sustained since the
tioneral election. Following their re
(iucod majorities in tho By-elections in
Leeds and Bedfordshire, it is certain to
make a marked impression on tho public,
while it will stimulate tho Conservatives
to contest every election whore
tliero is tho smallest chance for victory.
Tho local Liberals refuse to believe that
theA were defeated- Lhey insisted
upon a recount, which was made during
a sccno of feverish excitement, enormous
crowds surrounding the hall.
Tho Conservatives were ovorjoycd
when the result was anuounced.
AGAINST AMERICAN* CATTLE.
A movement is on foot among cattle
breeders to promote a bill praviding for
the quarantining of all foreign live stock,
except such as are intondcd for slaughter.
Tho movement is chielly directed
against admission of American store
cattle.
A CONTINUED DEADLOCK.
The proposal made by tho Parnellites
that the Paris fund bo placed in tho
hands of a commit too ot tnreo mombora
from each section of tho Irish parliamentary
party, which, it was thought,
would bo accepted by tho McCarthyites
in view of tho speeches made by proininont
members of the section favoring
it, has fallen to tho ground, owing to
the action of tho l'arnollitoH in insisting
that a claim bo admitted of charges,
which consist of law costs and debts of
tho National League amounting to over
jCl'0,000. The McCarthyites insist that
the claims of tho evicted tenants bo the
first charge on tho fund. Neither side
seems disposed to yield in this matter,
and thus tho long deadlock continues.
KNILL'S ELECTION.
Londoners, who oppose Mr. Knill's
election as Lord Mayor on tho ground
hot Im iu u ftothnlirt hnvfl decided to
make a final attempt to prevent his assuming
the oftice.
The anti-popory association has prepared
a petition to tho queen, praying
her to refuso to confirm tho selection of
Mr. Knill, on tho ground that he has
publicly declared that he owes iirat
allegiance to the Pope. Thoro is not
the slightest chance ot the petitions bein^
granted and the petitioners will
probably receivo a woll merited snub,
a workmen's manifesto.
A manifesto has been issued, calling
upon workmon out of employment to
march in procession behind tho Lord

A motif; tho passengors on tho White
Star lino steamer Germanic, which
sailed from Liverpool on tho 12th insl.
for Now York, wero Col. A. L. Conger
anil wife, of Akron, Ohio. Colonel
Conner, who is president of tho American
Tin Plate Company, spent a fortnight
in Walos examining various tin
plate plants, and ho goos hotno convinced
that within two years American
will mako all tho tin plalo that will bo
required, nnd at less than tho averngo
murket prico of tho last five years. In
an interview at Liverpool, Colonel Conger
said:
"II America Bnouiu 1101 prouueu u
single ton of nig tin it would lie no disadvantage
to her, as of tho 54,000 tons
produced in 1881. Cornwall produced
9,000 tons, Australia 0,000, Saxony 1,500
tons and the South Sea Inlands the remainder.
Wo can produco block
plates as cheaply as W ales can. Wo
get tin in tho South .Seas at an eoual
advantage with England. Tho chief
question is workmanship and wages.
Metal workmen lire paid the highest
wages received in Europe ior uiuuuwr
work; yet we pay double the wagos
paid hero and there will be no difficulty
in getting plenty of men. The smartcst
manufacturers in Wales are removing
their plants to America, which ie a
good movo for both countries, relieving
the over production here and giving us
tho experienced men and the business
wo need.
Regarding tho political situation,
Colonel Conger said ho felt conlident
that President Harrison would bo reelected,
and that the only issues were
protection, reciprocity and honest
money. He gavo .Mr. lilaino tho sole
crodit for the policy of reciprocity.
Tho Welsh newspapers in commenting
upon Conger's visit pay that tho tin
plate industry has failed to talco root in
tho United States in spite of the government
nursing and coddlinir, and that
tho poople there are boginninir to hog
that while tho tariff hai severely hurt
Wales it hurts tho tin consumers in tho
United States much more.

Lo.vno.v, Oct. 11.?Mr. Andrew Carnegie
ami his wife arrived in this city
yesterday from Scotland.
Referring to the business prospects
of this country, Mr. Carnegie said that
the outlook for Great Britain was dark.
He daily saw at least half a dozen noticos
announcing reductions of wages
and hours of labor and the closing of
works.
Tho exports wero falling lower and
lower each month and one of tho worst
winters which the poor had experienced
in thirty years seemed inevitable.
Owing to tho poor crops in Kuropo
the United States would find good markets
for all its surplus products. That
country would therefore remain prosperous"
and tho masses would bo enabled
to obtain full employment and to
live in comfort, although at present tho
prices for manufactures continue low.
The capacity for production of tho
United .States was beyond any possible
permanent requirements for some timo
to come, and the country was therefore
enabled to send its surplus products
abroad and undersell even tho" British
in their own markets.
"Look where you will, there is but {
ono truly prosperous country in tho y
world, and that is tho republic of tho
United States. Cod bless her. She deserves
it."

Iii consequonco tho city will bo
deprived of a daily water supply of 36,000,000

for its construction. City officers
in chargo of tho water department profess
not to fear a famine. They admit,
however, that tho limited supply will
cause a scarcity in outside parts of tho
