cance of the Tariff and Force Bill
Issues Proclaimed.
New York, Not. S.— The announcement
that Tammany Hall was to hold another
mass meeting to-night to ratify the nomi
nations of Cleveland and Stevenson at
tracted an immense throng of people to the
vicinity of the wigwam in Fourteenth street.
The same scenes as were witnessed at Tam
many’s meeting last week were repeated to
night. and if anything the outpouring of
people was larger than at the previous meet
ing, when it wat estimated that 100,000 per
sons were gathered to testify their loyalty
to the democratic ticket. The streets were
ablate with gas, eieotricand calcium lights.
The explosion of bombs and screaming of
rockets, the blare of brass bands, the march
ing of uniformed clubs and the ooustant
cheering of the multitude made a scene
which could not but send a thrill through
the heart of every democrat present. There
were ten meetings going on at onoe. It
was exactly 8 o’clock when several well
known Tammany men and United States
Senators Eustis and Carlisle filed on the
platform in the maiu ball of the wigwam.
A LETTER FROM GOItMAN.
After a speech by i. J. O’Donohue, the
i-hairraan, the secretary read a letter from
Keuator Gorman of Maryland. It wca re
ceived with much applause. Following is
the text of the letter:
New York, Oct. 31, 180-2
TANARUS" Hon. Richard Oroker, Tammany Halt. Hew
York:
My Dear Sir—lt would have given me great
pleasure to have acoepterl your kind lnvitatiou
to partieipatein the meeting at Tammany Hall,
nn Thursday next, but the duties assigned to
me during the campaign have made it impossi
ble for me to take part in public discussion of
the questions involved in the campaign. I can
not, however, permit the occasion to pass wlih
nut saying that the completeness of your union,
snd the manly and eloquent utterances of Sen
ator Hill, and your efforts and enthusiasm,
have made It absolutely certain that the elec
toral vote of New York will be cast for the nom
inees of the Democratic party.
The Democratic party In other states hereto
fore considered doubtful have taken courage
from your example and will show upon the day
of the election that they have learned from you
bow to achieve victory. Believe me in this, the
people in this country who live by the labor of
i heir bands aad brains, who have accumulate I
no wealth, whose only pride is their love of
home and country, and whose only power con
sists of the us of a free ballot, will not he over
powered by the methods practiced at the polls
bv tbe beneficiaries of any system of legislation.
They will overthrow the party which
created that system. They will. In a
spirit of perfect fairness, modify the system
Itself until the greatest good of the greatest
number is Secured, and they will drive the
bribers and their candidates from the field of
politics. The people of this country slowly
awaken to a sense of wrong, but when awakened
exercise judgment which is swift, clear and
exact in its oonclusions and never fails to mete
ultimately to men and parties the fate which
t hey deserve. The people are turning to that
ma i whose official life closed without
a stain upon its crowded pages, Grover
t leveland. tie has said that he has
neither friends to reward nor enemies to punish
ami his history in office affords a sure guaran
tee of an honest and wise administration of the
high duties of the President of the United
states. They are turning to him in such num
bers in ali the states that all the wealth con
trolled by all th 9 members of the Republican
party cannot, I believe, alter the result, if you
and I and all earnest democrats give ourselves
uii from now until the close of the day of the
election to the support of the candidates of the
great Democratic party. Its life Is involved in
me issue and you and w e must defend it. This
is a duty which we owe to our country, our
party and ourselves, Yours very truly
A. P. Gorman.
EUSTIS THE FIRST SPEAKER.
The first speaker of the evening was
Senator Eustis of Louisiana. The auestion
presented, be 3aid, is whether a few persons
who have acquired great wealth, or the
great body of the American people shall
control this country; whether we shall have
a democracy or a plutocracy. Referring to
th McKinley bill the speaker said it had
b*en devised to aid the Republican party
in perpetuating Itself in power by provid
ing itself with a gigantic corruption fund
t 'be drawn from the prote ted manufact
ures. Speaking of the fores bill, Senator
Kustis said It tvas impossible to describe the
"lartu and excitement it created in the
south. It was framed to enable the repub
licans to disfranchise the democrats of the
country and to enable them to oarry the
election Iby fraud aud force. Its passage
would enslave tbe American people and dig
tbe grave of American liberty.
The next speaker was Senator Carlisle of
Kentucky. He was received with en
thusiastic applause. He said he had no
prejudice against the gentlemen who are
* ngaged In what are known as the pro
tected industries. They were men who had
contributed largely to the broth of the
country by intelligence and enterprise. He
wanted to see them succeed on
tneir own merits and not
at the expense of other members of the
community. Protection has now become a
moral question. The American people
have begun to ask, is it right, is it just?
" hen the people begin to do that the re
sult is not doubtful. Protection is as sure
to be overthrown as was slavery. Just as
soon as the people elect a majority of re
publicans to the next House you will have
* foroe bill. Then it will be useless for ui
to make speeches and useless for yon to
listen to them, for the federal government
will control the suffrages of the
electorate. Whatever you may think
of Mr. Cleveland i can say
deliberately that if he is not sound I am not
a sound democrat. [Loud and prolonged
•'hsers.j He may cot be bs much of a
partisan democrat as I am, hut on all funda
mental questions that have distinguished
’he Democratic party from tbe beginning
down to this time Mr. Cleveland is as sound
* democrat as ever lived. He believes that,
"ffloial power should never btxprostituted
'or base partisan purposes; the.*is the kind
of man I have found Mr. Cleveland to be—
* sound, constitutional, old-fasbioned, Jef
fersonian demoorat.” [Loud cheers.]
There were several other speakers and
•hen tbe meeting closed.
RILL EULOGIZES CLEVELAND.
*he Senator Speaks at Canandaigua
and Syracuse.
Canandaigua, N. Y., Nov, 3.—Senator
Hill addressed an immense meeting here
’•ns afternoon. His reoeption was an ova
hon from his entranoe into the bail until
™ appearance upon the opora house stage,
Horn which he addressed the throng. The
•vnator said:
. 1 ‘emembtr in 1884 they traveled about with
faces, crying that if the Demooratir
T* r tv got tbe presidency the country would
mther up under a succession of fearful calami
■*•- First, it was tbe southern war debt that
would he paid; slavery would be re-established
*ysin; federal sanctity would be violated. .
' “ would be at war with all foreign countries;
"urindustries would bs destroyed. These were
uhl.v a few of tne things tbev said But now
°*e their predictions oime to aught. Instead
H-l yt IRofning JfrtJMS.
of all that woe we had one of the Itest adminis
trations of the government in the history of the
Country.
Mr. Cleveland s administration Senator
Hill eulogized in the highest degree: it was
dignified, cleau. honest and sought to do
something for the good of the people. After
the meeting Senator Hill went to Syraouse.
THE SPEECH AT SYRACUSE
Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 3. —Senator Hill
SDoke here to-night to an immense audience.
Every inch of space in the large Alhambra
: rink was taken long before the senator ar
rived and thousands went away disap
pointed. An overflow meeting of at least
I 2,00(1 was held in front of the rink, whioh
was addressed by local speakers. The
senator came from Canandaigua at 8
o’clock and was escorted to the hall by the
democratic phalanx through streets lined
with people and illuminated with fire.
Senator Hi 1 was introduced and his
\ appeurance was the signal for another
i outburst of applause from the magnifioent
audience. After order had been restored,
Senator Hill said:
I think my position in this state entitles me
to sav that we are going to hare a good old
splendid administration like that R P. Flower
ts giving us. Let us rally: let us not alone
oarry New York. What is ttie matter with car
rying the union? We can do it next Tues
day. I feel that the democracy
1 will rise into complete ascendency
I again. Let me warn you, however, as 1 have
I warned others this week. This is not a cam
paign of candidates, but one of principles. Do
your duty like true, good democrats.
The senator’s voice ns he spoke these
words thundered. He continued :
And when next Tuesday is over we will have
in this state au old- fashioned democratic vic
tory for Cleveland and Stevenson. Only
remember this is not a time to show
a grievance If 1 had any 1 should
not show them now. [Cheers ] We will have
a national democratic administration once
more. Do your duty to your party.
Senator Hill will speak to-morrow at
Corclandt In the afternoon aud in the even
ing at Eirnira, bis old home.
STEVENSON CONFIDENT.
He Thinks New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut Will Go Democratic.
Chicago, Nov. 3.—Adlai Stevenson has
returned from his eastern campaign tour
and will devote the little time remaining
before election day to work in Illinois. “My
two weeks’ trip in the east,” Gen. Stevenson
said to a reporter, “has been most enjoy
able, although it was attended by hard
work. I found everywhere that the dsm
oorats were hard at work aud the cause of
tariff reform has obtained a mighty hold
on the people. No matter what might be
tbe condition of the people or the obaracter
of the industries in the placet visited, I
found that the idea has been firmly estab
lished in the minds of many republicans, ns
well ts all democrats, that revenue reform
is needed. The members of the campaign
committee are very confident of victory,
and feel certain that New York, New Jer
sey and Indiana will be demooratic. Con
necticut and West Virginia are close states,
but the democrats in both are making a
strong fight, and I believe they will win.
Then, too, there are the states of Illinois,
Wisoousin and lowa, in which the demo
crats have been making aggressive cam
paigns and in which they have the confi
dence of obtaining the electoral votes. So,
taken altogether, I think the situation
promises success for the demoorat*.”
STEVENSON SPEAKS.
At 8:30 o’clock Adlai T. Ewing, president
of the Iroquois Club, introduced Congress
ma t William Springer as chairman of th*
evening. After a brief opening address Mr.
Springer Introduced Adlai E. Stevenson,
who was greeted with much applause as he
advanced to the speaker’s desk. Ho said
substantially-. It is provided in tbs federal
constitution that once every four
years the supreme power of this
country shall be returned to the
people. It is now in their hands. The
adminisrration of Grover Cleveland
[cheers] was pure and honost. Dnring bis
term of office no additional burdens were
laid upon the people for tbe benefit of mo
nopolists and railroad barons. When be
left the presidential chair be left behind him
$100,000,000 in the treasury and the queition
was what shall be done with thesurplus reve
nue? We have now had 3% year* of re
publican rule and tbe question is where
shall the money come from to run the gov
ernment, and this oondition of things is
due to the working of the McKinley bill
and republican rule.
DON’T WANT FREE TRADE.
The Dem-cratm party realizes that suffi
cient money mint be colleoted from Import
duties to pay the expenses of the govern
ment but wheu more than that is collected
it is no less robbery because it is done und*r
the name of legislation. The constitution
says that when you have colleoted a suffi
cient sum of money to run the government,
you have no right to touch another dollar
of any man’s money to make rich one set of
men at the expense of others.
The speaker then referred briefly to tbs
history of the low tariff period of 1846 and
then resumed.
The average increase of the tariff taxes dur
ing the early years of the war was 35 per cent.
After the conclusion of the war tariff taxes
were increased, and have since been Increased
to 47 per cent. Then the people deolared the
time had came to repeal tho war tariffs. The
Republican party was pledged to remedy this
evil and kept its pledge hy passing the Mckiniey
bill, which sent tne tariff higher yet. They tell
you that this is for tbe benefit of
the laboring man; they claimed that a vote for
the Republican party meant a good bucket of
bread and be *f, out now many months was it
before they taxed the poor bucket and held the
bread and beef- Tbe Republican party has
claimed that a high tariff meant high wages.
Now let tne ask you whether your wages have
gone up as that tariff bas sailed skyward?
[Loud cries of no, no !j
THE FORCE BILL.
Then passing from the tariff to the foroe
bill, the speaker said:
The republicans have said that tbe force bill
Is a dead issue: I do not trust them That bill
proposes to grant power to federal supervisors
to depose your state officers at the elections, to
invade the sanctity of your homes, and If you
refuse to answer their questions you are
liable to indictment aud imprisonment.
This bill vat aimed at the south,
but holds good throughout the country and,
put in effect, it calls forth 300.000 iederai suiter
visors to oversee tiie casting of your ballot.
These are gome of the Issues upou wltich you
are to pass next Tuesday, and 1 ask nobody to
stand with us for the sake of party. Let him
stand hy his own home and fireside, and he
must be with us. He will not be against us.
John I'. Altgeld.the democratic candidate
for governor of Illinois, aud several local
politicians also spoke.
Judge Lawson on the Stump.
Washington, Nov. 3. —Judge Lawson
spoke here Tuesday to a large and enthusi
astic crowd of democrats. His address was
an appeal to the reason and Sound judg
ment of Ins henrerr, and was most forcible
and logical. Since our county rose and
treed hereeif from the incubus of third
partyism to the tune of 1,500 majority, pol
itics have been very quiet. The heart* of
tbe people are with Black and the demo
crat iof the Tenth in their fight for good
government against anarchy.

SAVANNAH, GA„ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1892.
CZARS OF THE ELECTION.
ABSOLUTE POWER CLAIMED FOR
DEPUTY MARSHALS.
Acting Attorney Genera! Aldrloh Is
sues a Statement of Hfs Sweeping
Claims—Men Who Issued Opposition
Instructions Declared Amenable to
tbe Criminal Statutes of the United
States.
Washington, Nov. S.—The aoting At
torney General, Mr. Aldrich, to-day made
an important statement with reference to
the authority of tbe United Status deputy
marshals to supervise election!, in which he
announces shat all parsons who attempt to
interfere with these offloers bring them
selves within the scope of Che criminal stat
utes of the United States, regardless of
whether or not they aot under any state or
municipal statute. He says that in view of
these statutes it is not thought that any
person or combination of persons will
seek in any way to interfere with the
marshals in tbe discharge of their duties,
but that suoh interference will be grossly
prosecuted.
Tbe statement begins by saying that the
attention of the department of justice has
been called to certain alleged instructions
to police and state offloers in Alabama, Ar
kansas and New York with reference to
their conduot toward deputy United States
marshals at the polls It declares that the
marshals are there as peace office:*. and
that their instructions are not to allow dis
crimination for oragalnst any party, but to
secure * ‘an honest ballot and a fair count.”
It denies tbe doctrine of the tupremaev
of tbe states over the United
States in this matter of elections,
and says that the impression that tbe fed
eral government Is a foreign power should
he obliterated. It says that the statement
that section 2031 it the only seotlon author
ising the appointment of deputy marshals,
and therefore that such appointments can
be made only in cities of 30,000 Inhabitants
or upward, is not the view entertained bv
tbe Attorney General or himself, nor has
suoh a view teen held by any preceding
Attorney General.
With reference to the queition whether
deputy marshals havs a right to be within
the guard rail of the polling placet It is saiil
that it hat been answered in the Attorney
General’s oircular of 00l 31 last, and that
the statutes are so clear and explicit that no
room It seen tor discussion.
The statement oonoludes; “The lawn mutt
be enforoed. Marshals are warned under pen
alties of the law against any interference
with tbe rights of citizens and at the tame
time they will guard and protect such rights
at whatever cost.” Instructions in accord
ance with these views will be sent to United
States marshals in all parts of tbs country.
TEXT OF THE STATEMENT.
Following is ths text of the statement:
The attention of the department of justice
has been called to certain alleged instructions to
police and state officers In Alabama. Arkansas
and New York with reference to their conduct
towards suoh deputy United States marshals at
may bs in aMendasce at tbe polling places.
Such instructions bring tbeir authors and all
persons attempting to carry them into effect
within the provlsioas of sections 8518 and real
of ths criminal statutes of tbe United States,
which follow:
Rio. Ml 9. If two or more persons in any state
or territory conspire to prevent, by foroe, in
timidation or threat any purson from aco >pt
ingor holding any trust, or plaoe of con
fidence under tue United States, or from dis
charging any duties thereof, or to induce by
like means any officer of the United States to
leave any state, district or place, where his
duties as au officer are required to be performed,
or to iujure him In his person or property on
ncoount of his lawful discharge of tbe duties of
his office, or while engaged in the lawful dis
charge thereof, or to injure bis property so as
to molest, interrupt, hinder, or impede him in
the discharge of his official duties; each of such
persons shall he punished by a fine of not 1 -as
than fWO nor more than 15,(XX), or by imprison
ment, with or without hard labor, not less
than six mouths nor more than eix years,
or by both suoh fine aud imprisonment.
TRX S ECHOS REFERRED TO.
Sec. CSK Every person, whether with or with
out any authority, power or process; or pro
tended authority, power or process of any stare,
teqritory or municipality who obstructs, hin
ders, aseaeltsor by bribery, solicitation or other
wise Interfere# with or provent* the supervisor*
of au election, or either of tbein, or
a marshal or bis general or special deputies,
or either or them, io the performance < r any
duty required of them, or either of them, or
which he or they, or either of them, may be
aucnorlzed to perform by any law of the United
States, la the execution of process or otherwiie,
or who by any of tho means before mentioned,
hinders or prevent* free attendance and pres
enoe at sues places of registration or at such
poll* of election, or full and free access anil
egrets to and from any such place of registra
tion or poll of election, or In going to and trnin
any suon place of registration or poll of elec
tion; or to and from any room where any such
registration, or election or canvass of votes, or
of making any returns or certificates thereuf
may be had; or who molest*, interferes with,
removes or eject* from any such place of regis
tration or poll of election, or of canvassing votes
oast thereat, or of maxing returns or certificates
thereof, aoy supervisor of election, marshal,
or bis general or special deputies, or either of
them: or who threatens, or attempts, or offers
so to do, or refuses or nnglects to aid and assist
any supervisor of election, or marshal or his
general or special deputies, or either of them,
in the performance of his or their duties, when
required by him or them, or either of them, to
give such aid and asfistance, shall be liable tu
instant arrest without process, and shall he
punished by imprisonment not more than two
Sears, or by a fine of not more than $3,000, or by
oth such fine and imprisonment, and shall
pay cost of prosecution.
RESISTANCE TO BE PUNISHED.
In view of these provisions It is not thought
that any person or comb nation of persons will
seek In any way to interfere with marshals in
the dlsobarge of their duties. Any such inter
ference will be rigorously prosecuted. Mar
shals and tbeir deputies are at such polling
places a* peace offloers, and not as partisan*,
and tbeir Instructions allow no discrimination
for or against any party An honest ballot
and a fair count is what the law was designed
to provide, and its constitutionality has neen
so strongly upheld and the paramount
power of the federal government so clearly as
serted by tbe supreme court, that it would be
idle to Discuss that queation. The idea that the
United States Is not as much an object of the
people's love and patriotism as any state Is
utterly mischievous, although implied in the
circulars referred to. A peace officer of the
United Urates who seeks to prevent Illegal vot
ing no more invades the rights of American
citizens than does a panes officer ot a slate.
Tne impression that the federal government is
a foreign power should be obliterated.
THE POWER OF APPOINTMENT.
The statement that section 2021 Is the only
section authorizing the appoiatment of deputy
marshals, and therefore, that such appoint
ments ean be marts only in cities of 20,000 in
habitant* or upward. 1* not tne view of the law
entertained by the Attorney General or myself,
nor has such view been held or expressed by
eey Attorney General since the enactment of
the law. 8o far as I can discover the instruc
tion* given by Attorney General Taft in his
ciroular letter of Sept. 4, 1870.
have been continuously acquiesced in.
In this ciroular be said: “You
will observe that the ‘special’ deputies men
tioned in section 2021 of tbe Revised Statutes
have peculiar duties assigned to them, duties
which otherwise do not belong to tbe deputy
marshals Such special deputies cau be ap
pointed only in cities of 20,000 Inhabitants or
upward. But tbe duties assigned to mar
sbals and tbeir deputies by section 2022, or
other lixe statutes, belong to all duly appointed
deputies whether they be general or be ’special’
within the meaning of that and the preceding
section. Deputies to discharge this latter class
of duties may be appointed to any number
whatever, aocording to the discretion of the
marshal, ia all state* In which tbe sheriffs have
a similar power."
THE RIGHT TO IS WITHIN THS RAIL
The question whether deputy marshals have
s ngbt to be within the guard rail of polling
i places is answered by the Attorney General s
circular of < ct 31, lews?, mtlw affirmative. As
will be observed, section 5.123, Revised Statutes,
prescribes a penalty of imprisonment and fine
against any person wno, with or without au
thority of atiy state, or municipality, interferes
with or prevents a marshal or lus general or
special deputies from the performance of any
j duty, or hinders or prevents their “full and
j free access and egress to and from any such
] place of registration or poll of election.”
i * * * or to aud from any room where
j any such registration or election or oativass of
| votes “**•* may be had.” The statutes
j are so clear and explicit that I really cannot
| see any room for discussion. I do not behove
that any attempt will be made to violate this
I law, or carry out the revolutionary and dan
gerous policy announce in the dispatches re
ferred to. If such action Is attempted,
of course, trouble will come, as, the
same law prescribes penalties against any
deputy who fails to do his duty, Such a result
all good citizens. Irrespective of party, would
deplore, and the consequence would fall upou
tboga whose rash course led to Bitch unwar
ranted reßistenco to the power of the federal
| government, a power which the supremo court
of the United States has declared paramount
when a member of congress or a presi
dential elector is to be voted for, to
any state law or authority upon this
suoject. 1 will add that this is not a partisan
question and they are noi good citizens in my
opinion who seek to make it one. No party cau
justly hope to deserve or >m Bucees- hy’ defi
ance or violations of the law of the land How
ever that may be, our duty is plan. Tim laws
must be enforced. Marshals are warned under
penalties of the law against any Interference
with the rights of citizens, and at the same time
they will guard aud protect such rights at what
ever cost.
BROOKLYN’S DEMOCRATS.
MacVeagh and Ex-Gov. Campbell
Speak at Their Last Rally.
New York, No 7. 3, —The stage of the
Brooklyn Academy of Music was set for a
forest scene to-night when ttie last great
rally of the democracy of Kings
county for the national ticket was
held The academy seats about 3,000
people, but over 5,000 enthusiastic demo
crats were crowded into tbe building to
night to hear Y) ayne MacVeagh of Penn
sylvania and Ex-Gov. Campbell of Ohio.
Mr. MacVeagh sala, in referring to his
recent change of political faith, that when
he published his letter he fell lonesome, but
now, not only the woods but tbe
streets are full of good republicans
who were opposed to corruption, and that
at several meetings at which he had te
oeutly spoken he was afraid that he was
not iu good demooratic company.
Ex-Gov. Campbell of Ohio met with a
most cordial reception, nod it was several
minutes before tbe applause ceased aud he
could be heard. Hia speech was in a semi
humoroua veiu and the audience was fre
quently moved to laughter. He de
picted Wayne MaoVeagh as au ob
ject lesson, and said that when It
was taken into consideration that Mr. Mao-
Veagh, Judge Gresham and others repre
sented Binaply the returns from the repub
lican cabinet to tbe democracy some feeble
idaa might be formed of the cyclone that
shall strike the Republican party between
now and election day.
AN APPEAL TO TBB WES r.
Business Men of Birmingham Ask
Votes for Cleveland.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 3.—Over 100
ot tbe leading merchants aud firms of this
city, iiioludittg representatives of all bauks,
have signed and protr cLpatad an address to
the business men of the north. It reads as
follows:
We, bankers and merchants of Birmingham,
ALa., hereby express our deep concern iu the
presidential election of next Tuesday. Nov. t>,
and when we recall the unparalleled develop
ment and prosperity of the whole country dur
ing the four years of President Cleveland's ad
ministration, and when we recall the un
paralleled depression of tha last three years
throughout the south, and believing, as we do,
that our former prosperity was largely due to
the confidence of tbe whole eountry iu govern
mental politics, whioh were strictly ad -
fcered to and followed by President Cleveland,
and to the confidence of the business
world in his wise, conservative and impartial
administration of affairs of the government,
and believing that our present condition is
brought about largely by the continued menace
of the force bill, to which President Harrison
and his party are unqualifiedly oommittad, we
do hereby appeal to tue bankers and merchants
of tbe western states who deal with us and who
are oqr friends to assist us in preventing such a
dire disaster to American liberty os tne force
bill or any other bill of like import; and that,
therefore, we urge upon our brethren of the
north to use all legitimate means to procure the
election of Cleveland aud Stevenson.
TWO POLITICAL ARRESTS.
New York Commissioners Charged
With Registering Paupers.
New York, Nv. 3.—Considerable ex
citement was created among democratic
politicians this afternoon by the announce
ment that Commissioners Ed ward C. Sheehy
and Charles C. Simmons of the board of
charities and corrections had been arrested
by United States authorities for induoing
paupers on Ward's and Blackwell’* islands
to register illegally. The two commission
ers wore brought down to the federal build
ing by a deputy United States marshal.
The warrant on whioh they were
arrested was issued by United Slates
Commissioner Shields on the complaint of
United States District Attorney Mitchell.
The charge is that they knowingly and will
fully induced certain charity pationts who
were paupers in the oare of
the city to register fraudu
lently. When the two commissioners were
arraigned before United States Commis
sioner Shields they each pleaded not guilty
and were held in $5,000 bail for examination
to-morrow. Judge McAdam qualified as
bondsman for both of the commissioners.

RIOTING AT GRANADA.
Tbe Row Caused by tbe Queen’* Fail
ure to Visit tbe City.
Madrid, Nov. 3,—The populace of
I Grauada were greatly disappointed at Queen
Regent Christina’, refusal to visit the city
witfi King Alfonss after great preparations
had been made to receive them. The feel
ing of disappointment ohanged to ons of
anger, and a large mob went about tbe city
anti destroyed the handsome triumphal
arohes that had been erected. The mob
also set fire to the Ootrol offices and stood
by while they burned. Then the mob pro
ceeded to a stand that had been erected for
the use of the royal party during ttie un
veiling of ths statue of Columbus and com
pletely demolished it, together with a
platform built for publio use. Finding no
other memories of the Colambus celebration
on which to vent their anger, the orowd went
to the houses of tbs leaders of the conserva
tive party and assailed them with etonee,
smashing windows and doing other dam
age. While attaoklng the bouse* soma one
in the crowd started the cries of “Down
with the government," "Long Ilya the re
public.’ The cries were taken up by the
iuot> and for a long time it looked as though
a serious disturbance would occur.
ATTACKED WITH SWORDS.
The revolutionary cries attracted the at
tention of the civic guard, as the rioting
had not done, and a body of them made a
charge upon the mob, slashing right and
left with their sword*. A number of tbe
rioters were severely injured. The mob
made no resistance. All who could do so
made off at the top of tbeir speed. Thirty,
however, fell into the hands of the oivio
guard and were locked tip.
Iu consequence of the disturbance the.
mayor of Grauada has resigned. Th# min
ister of war, the minister of publio works,
and the minister of jusiioe, who had ar
ranged to go to Grauada to assist at the un
veiling of the monument, have decided to
postpone their journev, as they fear a hostile
demonstration. A third of the Granada
municipal authorities are republicans. The
absenoe of the|queen regent is due to her
desire to spare King Alfonss fatigue after
his recent Illness.
Tbe nlvilgovernor of Madrid has resigned
in ooneequenoe of the recent rioting in the
prado growing out of the prohibition of au
open air concert. It is expeoted that tbe
mayor will alto resign to-day. The public
is still highly excited because of tbs stopping
of tbe couoert.
