f THE MORNING NEWS. 1 J Established 1850. Incorporated 1888. > J. H. ESTILL, President. ) CLEVELAND IN JERSEY. A RINGING APPEAL TO THE DEMO CRATS OP THE STATE. Senator McPherson Follows the Ex- President on the Stump—Chairman Harrlty SDealcs a Word of Bncour* Utterances of All the Speakers Liberally Applauded. Jersey City, N. J., Nov. 4.—Ex-Presi dent Cleveland spoke here to-night. Neither the drizzling rain nor fog that hung over the city dampened the ardor of the loyal Jersey democrats. With the glare of lireworks, tne blare of brass bands and the marching of political clubs they celebrated the last grand rally of the campaign. They yelled and cheered and applauded with the ardor and vociferation of sturdy Jersey lungs. They rushed and eddied in thousands to the Oakland rink, Jersey City’s largest audito rium. This hall was fairly swamped with humanity a few minutes after the doors wore o’pened. Ex-President Cleveland came from New York in company with Senator John R. McPherson and Chairmau Harrity of the democratic national committee. Ex-Senator William hriukerboff pre sided, aud on the platf rra were many dis tinguished democrats from all parts of the state. CLEVELAND’S SPEECH. Mr. C leveland was most enthusiastically received, lie said: Fellow Citizens —Two considerations have had much to do with my acceptance of the kind invitation tendered ine to be with you to-night. 1 did not feel quite like allowing the campaign to without visiting my native state, and I desired to meet again face to face representa tives of the democracy of New Jersey, one of the bravest and most steadfast divisions of the grand army of the national democracy. Eight years ago when another presidential campaign had ad vanced nearly to the precise stage the present one lias reached, l came to your state and de clared it to be my understanding of the demo cratic creed that all taxation should be limited to the requirements of an economical govern merit, and that every cent taken from the pockets of the peoule beyond these requirements was no better than robbery. 1 need not recall to your minds the result of that campaigu With a democratic President and House of Hepresentatives, you know how faithfully we attempted to engraft these doc trines upon the policy of the country, and how constantly we worked to relieve the people from the burdens of taxation, which had their origin in the exigencies of a terrible and wasting war, but had bam continued through many years of peace to serve the purposes of private and eelfish interests. We fought for the people's rights and welfare as agai; st taxing of the po.;r to increase the fortunes of the rich. You reinember that the measure of relief passed by our democratic House of Hepresentatives was defeated by the republican Senate, thus demon strating bow far the majority of that body was removed from sympathy with the needs of the people. THE DEFEAT OF FOUR YEARS AGO. From the recreancy of the S.mate we appealed again in another presidential election to the jieop.e, with a pledge that if intrusted with the power, we would still continue to struggle to rectify the wrongs of an unjust tariff. lathe campaign of 1888 we still followed the banner upon which was emblazoned the leg nd ‘ Un necessary taxation is unjust taxation." It is needless to remind you of the agencies which operated to defeat the democracy in that cam paign. ne feature of the canvass, however, is interesting. t was impossible for our opt o nents to overlook the fact that our contention in the cause of the people had arrested the at tention of the Veters of the laud to such an ex tern that there wa> dauger in further insistanee that the burdens then resting upon the plain men and women who toiled for the scant neces saries of life were fair and just; aud they awoke to the fact that partisan success demanded a promise on their part that these burdens should be made more easy. Then it was that the concession was made by them that our tariff laws ought to be amended and readjusted; and then it was that the party whose representatives in the had defeated our plan of relief, implored the people to trust tueni and rang the changes on the delusive cry, ’’Let the tariff be readjusted b> its friends.' Of course this involved a pre tense that the Republican party not only com -1 rised the friends of the tariff, but also the friends of the people. Thus pledged, they gained the ascendancy in every branch of the government. THEIR RECORD. Four yi ars have passed, and in another presi dential campaign you are asked to judge of the manner in which these pledges have been kept and to determine, in the light of present coudi t 'ns, whether the benefits promised at the last national election as a result of republican supremacy have been realized. The tariff hus i'-. '.i amended, if not by its friends evidently by the friends of those who grow rich under its mi— ju t opportunities. Certainly it is not the handiwork of the friends of the people. Has the party which promised to he their friend light nod the burden el life iff the ho nes of our land l Do you and Jour wives and your children enjey the com forts and advantages your labor snould supply? Where are the increased wages of our working men, which they were assured would follow the amendment of the tariff by its friends? You know that broken promises and violated Pledges are scattered all along the path of the Republican larty, since four years ago, they came to the pcop.e with fair words. The Democratic parly, "ith no faithlessuess to excuse and no sh >rt comiugg to explain, appeals to the voters of the land for their suffrages and declares its con tinued adhesion to the doctrine that the govern ment has no right to burden the people by taxa tion beyond tile necessities of its economical administration. OOU.NTINO OH NEW JERSEY. New Jersey has never faltered in her support of this doctrine since the struggle in the peo ple's cause began. Her voters have been stead fast at the polls in spite of every blandishment, and the valiant tight of her senior senator on the floor of the Senate for honest tariff reform has arrested the attention and provoked the applauueof thedemocracy of the country. Your state is now asked to repeat the verdict she has twice rendered, and why s lould not this verdict he forthcoming? The evils of tin* present tariff are greater than those you condemned e ght years ago. You have now absolute proot of me falsity of republican promises, which four years ago you refused to believe. Tuess conditions and your democratic traditions, still in ttie keeping of brave and sturdy men, and the steadfastness of your slate In the cause of democracy, maintained in many bard fought battles, forbid your faltering tow. The national democracy rests its hope for success upon the people's intelligence *nd patriotism, and upon the confident trust mat the principles of our voters will not be bartered away. In the front rank and in the thickest of the fight we shall still look for the banner of New Jersey and In the din of victory shall listen for the familiar shout of New "Jersey's democracy. United States Senator JloPherson fol lowed Mr. Cleveland. He was warmly re vived and his speech was liberally punctu ated with applause. In response to calls, Chairman Harrity •bid the demooratio national oommitteo re tailed the outlook as exceedingly bright, ud confidently believed that the election P e *t Tuesday would result in Mr. Cleve land's triumphant success. Loud calls for Grover” followed. Mr. Brlnkerboff announced that Mr. Cleveland would see his friends at the rink * or five or six minutes. Capt. Newton and bsq ad of police escorted Air. Cleveland, o' hntor McPherson. Chairman Hurrlty aud < thers to the door. The guests were driven *u the democratic social club bouse, where " r, v. Abbett and Judge Wens awaited them. Mr. Cleveland, Senator McPherson, Gov. "bbett, Judge Werts aud Chairman Har nty reviewed the McLaughlin association find German democratic clubs of the Fifth district. Bupper was then served in the °fub house. Wst. lining AN APPEAL TO PREJUDICE. Egan Asks Irish-Americans to Vote for Harrison. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4.—Minister Egan, who for many year* was a resident of Lin coln, has sent a letter to the republican state committee as follows: When in 1881 H had the honor to be named United States minister to Chile, the entire mug wump, aud a very large pro-British section of the entire democratic press, foully and falsely assailed me. aud assailed President Harris >n and his administration for having appointed me, and for no other reason than because I was an irishman who dared to be independent, and then last year, when in conformity "ith my duty and with my instruction*, an t with the full approval of my government, 1 was engaged In sustaining the American honor and dignity in protecting American rights and in defending the American flag and American uniform in Chile those attacks were unscrupu lously renewed. Not content with all this a Wayne MacVeagh, business partner of Grover Cleveland, was put forward a few days ago at a great democratic meeting in Cooper Union in this city. and. as reported in the democratic press, amid loud cheers of Ills audience, he dared to assail my good name; to repeat the Pigott slanders about the Irish Land Leaguo funds, and to stigmatize me as a fugitive from criminal justice. A BI.ATHKRSKITE STATEMENT. If I were American born, or bad I been born in Sweden, Belgium, Germany, France, or, in fact, anywhere else than in Ireland, those mug wumps and democrats would never dare to as sail me in this manner Now let me ask, will Irishmen allow to be heaped upon them, from such quarters, such know-nothing abuse as this! I would appeal to every loyal Irish Amer lean, who, in the glowing words of President Harrison, though he has given the concentrated loyalty of his honest heart to the starry Hag and his adopted country, has uot forgotten and ought not to forget the land of his nativ ity, to consider dispassionately those plain, simple facts before be casts his ballot on Tues day next. I do most sincerely hope the Irish- Americans at the polls will know how to punish those who have wantonly insulted the honor of their race, and that they will vote for the re election of President Harrison and for the republican ticket. MRS. LEASE IN A RAGE. She Resents an Attempt to Suppress Her at a Fusion Meeting;. Chicago, Nov. 4. —A speoial dispatch fyom Topeka Kan., says; “The democratic tlambeau club, while marohing in the Weaver prooession last night, was egged. J. 8. Ernest, president of the club, was spattered with eggs, and Janies Fltzgib bous, a contractor,was hit in the baok of the head and badly injured. A half dozen others were more or less bruised. The club marched the entire length of the line of march, notwithstanding the volleys of eggs which were thrown at them all along the way. Chairman Jones of the democratic state central committee left the Weaver meeting because of a misunderstanding with llrs. M. A. Lease who demanded per mission to speak. During the altercation ) etween the two pandemonium reigned. After Gen. Weaver had concluded his speech of two hours he introduced J. H. At wood of Atchison. The crowd waited to hear Mrs. Lease and began calling for her. Chairman Jones announced that Mrs. Lease had left to catch a train, but no sooner had he done so than an indignant populist appeared from behind the flies of tne opera house, and shouted in a loud and melodramatic voice: “Mrs. Lease is here and demands permission to speak to the people of Kansas.” Senator Teffer and Gen. Weaver tried in vain to pacify her and sho began her speech to the crowd amid w ild enthusiasm, .‘-ho denounced the poli ticians who were running the fusion cam paign, and declared that the people must assert themselves. After the moeting Mrs. Lease hunted up Chairman Jones and de clared that she would cancel all of her Kan sas dates.” MARSHALS TO BE RESISTED. The Democrats of Arkansas Don’t Propose to Be Bulldozed. Little Rock, Nov. 4. — The democratic state committee has issued to the Arkansas eleotion officers a circular defining the rights of United Btates supervisors and deputy marshals at elections, which, after outlining those rights and duties, continues: It is said that United States deputy marshals will be appointed at various precincts in this state to take charge of the elections. There is no authority in the federal statutes which au thorizes this, except in cities of 20,000 or more inhabitants. Hence the only places in Arkan sas where deputy marshals caD be appointed is in the city of Little Rook, it being the only city in the state with as many as 20,000 inhabitants. Therefore, if any deputy United States marshals suouid be appointed anywhere except in Little Rock it would be without authority of tue law, aud it will he the duty of the peace officers of the county to uphold and maintain the state law in keeping the peace at the voting precincts, and a deputy marshal can exercise no more authority at an election precinct or voting place than any otbor citizen. ARREST ADVISED, If they should undertake to take charge of a voting precinct or booth, or attempt officially to do anything in controlling or influencing the election or vote in any manner they should be arrested by the sheriff, whose duty it is to pre serve the peace at election precincts and see that a fair expression of the will of the people is had. MAGEE'S WORK IN ALABAMA. He Fails to Claim That the Fuslonists Will Carry Alabama. Washington, Nov. 4. — Chris Magee stopped over here to-day a few hours, on his way back from Alabama. He was able to tell President Harrison that he had in duced four republican candidates for con gress to withdraw from the canvass in favor of third party men, if he did not succeed in accomplishing anything else. He did not claim that the fuslonists would oari*y Ala bama. He said nothing about his extra ordinary contract with one of the with drawn republican candidates for congress uuder which, in consideration of the man’s withdrawal, Chris Magee is to seoure him a $1,300 clerkship iu one of the departments here or pay him SIOO a month for four years. STEVENSON AT BELLEVILLE. A Tremendous Outpouring of the En thusiastic Democrats. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 4.—Gen. Adlai E. Stevenson, the democratic candidate for Vice President, spoke at Belleville, 111., to night. He was met by a tremendous out pouring of democrats of St. Clair and the surrounding counties. Before the speaking began a torchlight procession marched through the streets, 5,000 being in line. The speakers were, in addition to ben. Steven son. John C. Black, democratic candidate for congressman at large; W. 8. Foreman, demooratio candidate for the Eighteenth Illinois district; J. N. Perrin, William R. Morrison and John B. Gill. The meeting was the largest ever held in Southern Illi nois. Oregon’s Democratic Ticket. Portland, Ore., Nov. 4.— The demo cratic state central committee has issued an address to the voters of Oregon, saying that the deinooratic electoral ticket would not be withdrawn, but would remain in the field, and asking all those favoring the eleotion of Cleveland and Stevenson to rally to its support. The democratic elec toral ticket is now composed of three dem ocrats and one populist. SAVANNAH, GA„ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1892. DAVENPORT’S DEVILTRY. ARREST OF 6,000 GOTHAM DEMO CRATS ONE OF HIS SCHEMES. The Democratic Committee Calls on Him to Maks the Arreete Before Election Day so os to Not Deprive Them of Their Votes if They Have the Right to Cast Them. New Yohk, Nov. 4.—At the democratic headquarters to-day a statement was given out of an investigation of Supervisor Dav enport’s methods, closing as follows; “The most important fact disclosed is that Super visor Davenport has his plans all laid to arrest some 6,000 men at the polls on elec tion day. His work is being couduoted with all possible seoreoy, and he is leaving no atone unturned in hie effort to help the Republican party In its desperate attempt to carry New York state. “No apprehension Is felt, however, by the democratic national committee that Daven port’s taotics can accomplish inuoh. The democratic organization of the city of New York is fully alive to the situation. It has met Supervisor Davenportjand rendered his sohemes abortive and the national commit tee has full aontldenoe that it will do so again this year.” TAMMANY APPOINTS LAWYERS. A committee of lawyers appointed by Tammauy Hall last night to proteot voters against Mr. Davenport, met this morning in the office ot David W. Leventritt, in the Stewart building, to consider the situation. There were present, besides Mr. Leventritt, John M. Bowers, David McClure and H. D. Hotchkiss. Mr. Hotchkiss remained but a few moments and Mr. Leventritt was called to appear before Commis iouer Deuel. Messrs. McClure and Bowers apent an hour discussing the situation and prepared a letter to be sent to Mr. Daven port. Mr. LeveDtritt returned about noon and said that the letter would not tie sent until the committee had another meet ing this afternoon. “One thing is certain,” added Mr. Leventritt, “we will adopt measures to protect all oltizeus from inter ference with their rights on eleotion day. Give this statement the widest possible pub lication. These bluffs may frighten some people, but we will prooure ball and defend every voter in the exercise of bis rights.” THE TEXT OF THE LETTER. Following is the letter referred to above: New York, Nov. 4, 1892. John I. Davenport, Es'j., Chief Supervisor of Sleciiont, Ftc. Dear Sir -IVe (understand that it is contem plated by you to make certain arrests of elec tors In this county for alleged illegal registra tion. If such offense of Illegal registration has been committed by any person, it was com mitted either as early as Got. 11, 1892, the first day of the registration, or in any event, not later than Oct. 29, the last day of registration. The lists of each day’s registration are at once placed in your hands and you must have long since completed your work of inspection of such lists It has frequently happened, however, that you have withheld making arrests for alleged illegal reg istration until election day, and, as we are in formed, have held the person so arrested until the election was over, thereby causing the elec tor to lose his vote, even though entitled to cast it. As you can just as well execute your war rants for illegal registration now as on election day, we have to request that you will forthwith issue and execute any warrants you may intend to issue for illegal registration, in order that an elector, If entitled to his die charge, shall receive the same in time to cast his vote. Assuming that the intent of the law under which you aot was not to interfere witli lawful voters, but to punish and restrain illegal voting, we take it Tor granted that you will co operate with us In determining all such ques tions in advance of the uay of elec tion, and that you will therefore comply with our request. In this connection we will call your attention to a decision rendered by ttie United States oirouit court for the Southern district of New York in the matter of Spooner, reported In volume 9, In Abbett's New cases, page 491, In which case it was held by Justices Ldatchford and Üboate, that it is au offense within the United Statee Revised Statutes, section 6515, if au election officer intentionally delays executing a war rant for the arrest of one charged with illegal registration until eleetion day in order to pre vent bla voting: and, also, that it is equally so to threaten arrest for the purpose of deterring from voting. The opinion of Judge Choate, in that case, is couched in the followug lan guage: “Purposely omitting to serve warrants until election day for the purpose of preventing people from voting would be a breach of duty on the part of the chief supervisor or deputy mar shal." And we further quote from the opinion of Justioe Blatohford the lollowing language: “It makes no difference whether this marshal bad these warrants or not, it is just as much an offense for him to threaten to arrest people on election day to prevent their voting as it would be to keep hack a warrant and execute It on that day for that object. We (referring to himself. Justice Blatchford, and his associate, Judge Choate, both agree that where a man can be arrested before election day at well as not, he ought to be so arrested. If "there is anv delay in arresting him where he could have been arrested before that day. It must be presumed to be for the purpose of pre venting him from voting and consequently un lawful.” Respectfully yours, David LsvEt tritt, Henry D. Hotchkiss, David McClure, John M. Bowers, Charles H. Knox, Committee on behalf of the Democratic party for the city and county of New York, The oommittee called upon Mr. Daven port with the letter, but he had gone up town, and it was seut to him. THE SHERIFF ON THE ALERT. Sheriff John J. Gorman has begun the work of swearing in a oorps of special dep uties in caso of an emergency. “I have re ceived no official communications,’’ said Sheriff Gorman to-day, "but from what I have read I behove that tho situation war rants mo in making preparations to main tain tbe publio peace. lam responsible to the state for the peace of this county, and I will see to it that the peace is preserved. The police wilt be on special duty, and I there fore think that more deputies are needed. I will appoint every respectable person who applies to me who is properly recommended. If a sufficient number of persons does not apply and I think that a greater force is needed, I will exercise the power the law gives me and order the assembling ot a posse ooraitatus." DAVENPORT’S THOROUGH SYSTEM. The following statement was given out at democratic headquarters to-day: Full information as to the proceedings of John I. Davenport and his plans for election day has been placed lq the hands of the dem ocratic national committee from an author itative source. Mr. Davenport has practically abandoned his regular office In the postoffico building, and lias established hivoampaign head quarters over tbe Columbia National Bank, on tbe fourth floor of the building at the corner of Forty-second street and Fifth avenue. At this place he has spacious quarters, containing 7 af ferent rooms Thirty typewriters and a large force of clerical assistants are kept constantly at work. A card list has been made out of every registered voter iu the city of New York, and these are arranged in tin boxes upon shelves. Kach card has open it the name of the voter and his residence, and also his polities, democrats being marked "dem." and republicans "rep." The cards also contain secret numbers and marks for the information of Mr. Davenport aud bis confidential assistants. Commissioner Deuel, who has bis office in the postofflee building, does most of Mr. Daven port's private work for him and close com munication is maintained between them by messengers. A CIRCULAR FROM JACOBUS. United Htatee District Attorney Mitchell to-day sent to Marshal Jacobus aud Chief Inspector John I. Davenport a letter, in which he takes up section by eection Lieut. Gov. Sheehan s “inflammatory proo- tarnation,’’ disputes all his assertions of fact and of law, and then adds: Will you kindly instruct each supervisor of election and deputy marshal that whenever there is any conflict between the law of the United States and the law of the state, the law of the United States is paramount You will also please inform all such supervisors of elec lion and deputy marshals that the United Stales intends to carry out the provisions of section 2, title 19, of the United States Revised Statutes, and see that every supervisor of eleotion and every deputy marshal, if requested to support him bv such supervisor of election, shall be allowed to take a position bouind t lie guard,rail upon election day and that any person interfering with them in any way while they are in the performance or their duty behind the guard rail in any polling place on election day can at ouoe be arrested without grecess, under section 6522, United States ©vised Statutes. 1 would suggest that a copy of this letter should be furnished to each super visor of election and deputy marshal. COURT TO BE HELP OPEN. The Tammany Hall oommittee of lawyers called upon Judge Wallaoe this morning and received a promise that he would hold the United States court open all day next Tuesday, so as to be ready to at once attend to any oomplaints made to him concerning the action of United States commissioners and marshals in the arrest and dotoutiou of those attempting to vote. The state courts, it is said, cannot stand opeu on election day, though there is no law to prevent United States oourts from being open. TRYING TO BUY OFF VOTERS. Republicans Want Three Democrats to stay at Home in Each Precinct. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 4.—Daniel J. Campau, chairman of the democratic cen tral committee, to-day issued an address to •‘Honest Voters of Michigan,” of whioh the following is part: In the exercise of the duties and functions which the law, both state aud federal, Imposes upon you, the greatest caution should bo taken to do nothing rashly or outside the law, aud special pains should he taken to prevent any disturbance or breach of tile peace. At the same time no willful violation of the law bv parties acting under the assumed authority of a United States marshal should bs tolerated. We have positive information that the repub licans have Instructed all the county and subor dinate committees in this state to see to it that at least there democrats in every school district In the state are induced to stay away from the polls. If this plan were successful it would mean the absence of a very large number of democrats from the polls on election day. The methods to bo adopted to secure this abstention can safely be judged from the wavs and means adopted iu the past to deliver votes In blocks of five and floaters generally in the doubtful states. Every possible effort should be made throughout Michigan to counteract the effect ot this disgraceful work. I urge every friend of an honest ballot and every foe of incorporated encroachment upon individual rights to see that noDe of his friends are absent from the polls. An offer to bribe you to refrain from voting is as much a crlui i as a bid for vour vote, if the infamous suggn-tion is made to you by any one, in the name of manhood, knock him down. „ RANDALL’S ISLAND VOTERS. The Democrats Will Show That They Are Not Paupers. N ew York, Nov. 4.—The oases of twenty eight men arrested on Randall’s Island yes terday and looked up all night in Ludlow Street jail at the instigation of John I. Davenport on a charge that the men were oharity patients in the hospitals, and wore going to be voted contrary to law by Chanty Commissioners Simmons and Sheeliy, oame up before Judge Wal lace in the United States circuit court to day Lawyer Wheeler, appointed by Com missioner Gilroy to look after the men s in terests, moved for a reduction of ball from *1,500 to $250, claiming that the men anted in good faith when they registered and bad no intention of breaking the law. Assistant United States District Attorney Evarts opposed the motion vigorously. The judge finally reduced the bail to SI,OOO, and the lawyer said bail would be giveu and the men would be released during the day. The two commissioners are already out on bail. It is claimed by the commissioners, who are democrats, that the men arrested wero employed in the institution, working for their board and clothes. There are 18,000 people to be cared for, and the appropria tion being insnflicient, they were hired on these terms. It is claimed that they were on the pay roll and were not oharity pa tients, and that, therefore, they had a right to vote. QUAY LYING LOW. He is Not Betting a Dollar on Har rison’s Re-election. Washington, Nov. 4.— Senator Quay said this evening that he would not leave before to-morrow. He caught cold while out driving this afternoon and said he must stay here to nurse himself. He said he did not think he should go to New York now. He did not thiuk it would be worth while. Everything had been done on both sides that could be done. Senator Quay deolines to be interviewed on the outoome of the eleotion. HU friends do not gather from his private conversation that he is confident of President Harr.son’s election. On the contrary they seem to think that Chairman Carter put it too strongly when he quoted Senator Quay as saying before he left New York that President Harrison was prac tically elected. The fact that Senator Quay has made no bets whatever on the eleotion is more eloquent to his friends than the statement Chairman Carter put out for him. He has always made wagers on presidential and on other elections. Four years ago he wagered and won a large sum, said to be between $50,000 and SIOO,OOO on the election of Harrison. This was in private wagers and was quite independent of the money furnished through Chairman Quay to Col. Swords by the national com mittee for bluffing purposes. This year, say Senator Quay’s frieuds, he evidently does not think enough of President Har rison’s chanoes to risk a single dollar on his re-election. A TRUCE IN DELAWARE. Htops Taken By the Rival Parties to Prevent Disorder. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 4. —The chair men of the democratic and republican com mittees aud Sheriff William Simmons, who is a republican, united in an agreement this afternoon for the conduct of the elec tion in this city and appended their signa tures thereto. The agreement set forth that four deputy sheriffs, two chosen from each party, shall have paramount authority aud that constables ami marshals shall not take part un necessarily so long as the sheriff can keep the peace. Detroit's Election Inspectors. Lansing, Mich,, Nov. 4.— The supreme court to-day denied the mandamus asked for by D. J. Carnpau, chairman of the democratio state central oommitteo, to compel the Detroit common oouncil to rescind their appointment of eleotion in spectors In that city. The court bolds that the council bad full power in the matter. Reid BD6aks at Albany, Albany, N. Y., Nov. 4. —Herrmann’s Bleecker ball was taxed to its utmost ca pacity to-uigbt, tbe occasion being the final rally of tbe republicans of the city of Albany, aud au opportunity to hear the republican vice presidential candidate, Hon. WhiteLw Reid, disouss tbe issues ef tbe campaign. RULED BY A PLUTOCRACY AN ADDRESS FULL OF STARTLING FACTB. The Country In the Clutches of 1,000 Greedy Capitalists Use of Money and the Army of Offloe Holders the Power By Whioh They Seek to Per petuate Their Control of the Govern ment. New York, Nov. 4.—The democratic national headquarters to-day gives out the following address: To the People of the United States: The presidential campaign will soon end. It is right and neoessary that we should now say a few words to you. There is no man, woman or child In the United States who Is not affected by our tariff laws They enter Into and reg ulato the expenses of the daily life of every Individual. Since 1865 loss than 1,000 men In this country have bean, by means of individual or corporate wealth under their control, masters of our tariff system. Their power has been sufficient to enforce continuance and Increase, in time of peace, of taxes on the necessaries of life, origin' ally imposed In time of war. only because of the actual needs of the governmeut. Under the system of war taxes thus continued the con ditions of lifo in this country have essentially changed. The classes engaged in industrial life have centered in the hands of a few. These have accumulated fortunes unequaled In any European state, and set an example of prodigal luxury of the civilized world. The masses of the people, who toll in the fields or gain their bread in the rural districts or in towns aud cities by the labor to their brains and hands, straggle on wearily, looking to your united actiou for relief. You know that this is true, nri.ltn nv the thousand The feeling strongest in your breast to-day is a conviction in each of your minds that every man and woman among you is forced every day to pay from his earnings or accumulations a price for the very neo ssnries of life which ought not to be paid, and a great proportion of which does not go to the government, but to a small number of favored people who to-day control the government. Yon know that this class controls and uses the government. It is a band of moneyed men, combined for sordid purposes and aotually ruling the Republican party. The federal office holders are part of its ma chlnery. Its method of operation is Intimi dation of workmen and corrupt use of money. It succeeded, in 1888, in defeating Grover Cleve land by such methods before you became aware of the danger. You ar > not now Ignorant of the periL In no couniry in the w hole civilized world in whioh people have a right to vote has a purpose to carry an election by the use of money have more plainly Hhown The enormous sums, shainelaHslv gathered In broad daylight from contributing thousands, tho characters of the men who are openly selected to put this money where, in their vulgar speech. It will do the most good, and the prostitution of tho publio service to the lowest political work, is daily seen of all men. Y’ou will rtot remain passive spectators of this scene. RALLY OS’ TUB STATES The people of the state of New York, remem berlng the high character and public services of Grover Cleveland, and knowing that his election is a certain guarantee of wiser, purer and better governmeut. will rally to his support. Those republicans in the state of New York, and there are many, who love their country and despise the men now oontroling their party, will come to his aid, and he will win an overwhelming victory lu his well beloved state The farmers of Indiana, cheated more than onoe by the base metb ids wuidh are being used once aga n to control that stale, will show that tho thousand beneficiaries of federal legislation cannot again, by fraud, knavery and purchase, obtain the electoral vote of that state. The substantial yeomary of Now Jersey, justly irritated at an attempt to defeat their will by opeu bribery of the basest elements of their population, will teach the thousand con tributors on the day of the presidential clectiou a lesson they will never forget The farmers an l workingmen of Connecticut, robbed of their rightful state government by the methodH now sought to he practiced against Grover Cleveland, will remember their wrongs at the polls in November, and the people of Delaware aud West Virginia, reseutlng the at tempt now made to corrupt and intimidate many of their number, will follow their example. THE FORCE #II,L. You will I tear in mind that you owe to the few men who maintain the present corrupting ami iniquitous tariff, the initiation and con tinuing threats of a force bill. That wns a measure introduced for the purpose of further ing republican partisan schemes. Un ter if, they could have used ttie federal Judiciary for political purposes, and have employed an army of federal officials, paid for out of the public treasury to control the coming presidential elec tion and all eloctions for members of congress. Failing in that nefarious plan, they have again put their hands in their pockets and raised the campaign fund, which the govern ment, uuder the force bill, would have supplied them with. But do not deceive yourselves. President Harrison Is In favor of the easy method of carrying federal elections, which that dangerous bill supplies. The silence of tbe republican leaders, who are conducting this aampalgu, does not, we are sure, deceive you. You must, on Nov. 8, make a choice which will vitally affect the interests of your couutry. The individual vote (of each one of you is of supreme importance. Under Grover Cleveland as President the highest and controlling motive and rule of his administra tive action—and the whole democratic aud in dependent vote should he united inhtssupport— will bo the greatest good of the greatest num ber, and public office will bo sacredly regarded as a public trust. A RAP AT HARRISON. The civil service will not be dragged against Its will through the mire of nominating con ventions. but the lows regulating it will honeHtly be enforced. Agriculture and com merce, growing steadily side by side, under wiser laws, will greatly increase our national prosperity; our manufactures will keep pace with our population and commerce and Indi vidual producers possess a greater measure of prosperity;the individual workingman, in field and in shop, will find tiiat his wants are more taken into account, and his reasonable demands more readily listened to. No combina tion will be able to dictate laws to Grover Cleve land or to tbe democratic majority in congress. The party which we represent, the candidates whom we support, the cause whten we advo cate have only one end in view and that is good government. We ask every one of you, each acting in his own election precinct and election district, to labor, without oeasing, for tbe elec tion of Grover Cleveland and Adial E. Steven son and for good government under a dem ocratic administration. On the day of the elec tion lay aside all duties except the duties of that day Protect your respect ive polls ugalnst bribery, fraud or intlmidatlorv. No badge of authority canem powej any man to interfere with the lawful casting of your rightful ballots. There is be hind eacli one of you the force of public opin ion aud the power of actual law which will as suredly bold to strict account the men who are now endeavoring to defeat the fair expression of your will. Right Is with us, and we are cer tain of victory. Make It an overwhelming triumph. William F. Hah-iiy, Chairman Democratic National Committee. Dos M.

Mobile Appeals to tbe North. Mobile, Ala., Nov. 4.—A meeting of 300 Influential citizens, representing all classes, adopted to-day an appeal to uortb ern friends of southern prosperity, in pre cisely similar terms to that adopted by the* meeting of business men at Birmingham yesterday. HILL ON HIS TOUR. He Stirs Up Great Enthusiasm at Cortland and Elmira. Cortland, N. Y„ Nov. 4.—Senator D. B. Hill addressed an audience of 3,000 peo ple at the Cortland opera house this after noon. The audience Included a large num ber of republicans. The speaker was fre quently Interrupted with applause. His speooh was devoted to the tariff question mainly. The senator olosed with a itrong appeal to all democrats to stand by ex l’rusldent Cleveland. The speech was pro nounced by all to be the ablest ever deliv ered in this section. A RIG HURRAH AT ELMIRA. Elmira, N. Y., Nov. 4.—The democratic mass meeting to-night was the largest po litical rally bald in this city so far during tbo present campaign. In spite of the in olement weather hundreds came from Corn ing, Hath, Watkins, Ithaoa, Cortland and other places, and long before the hour set for the meeting tho streets in the vicinity of the o|iera bouse, where .Senator Hill was to speak, wore thronged. The senator ar rived from Cortland at 6 o’clock and was met at the depot by a delegation of prominent citizens and esoorted to the Kathbuu house, where he had supper. His arrival here was the signal for the firing of oannon, aud although there was no parade nor pyro technic display, tho greatest enthusiasm was noticeable, evidencing the unbounded popularity of Senator Hill among the democrats of the southern tier. Upon hit appearance on the opera house stage loud oheers arose all over the house, which was crowded to overflowing in every part. Senator Hill was introduced by Judge Taylor, and it was several minutes before he was able to be heard. Cheer after cheer arose from the vast audience, and hats and handkerchiefs flew In tho a’r, the ladies as well as the men taking part In the demonstration. As soon as order was restored Senator HUI thanked the audience for their llatteriug reception, aud said It gave him groat pleasure to again address tus old friends in Elmira, saying he did not take the magnificent demonstration so much as a personal compliment as for the great oause he represented, settling contests in court. “Before touching upon the great issues of the campaign,” hs said, “I wish to call your attention to a matter whioh has not baen spoken of as yet to any great extent I re fer to the constitutional amendment which propose* to take ooutested election oases from tbs legislature and give them nvor to the court. The legislature naturally ds oidsa such oases not so much upon their merits as iu acoordanos with the political feelings of the party in power. I think such a movement would deolde the muoh-vexed question and it worthy the support or all parties. I believe it It a reform measure, and while Ido not pretend inyteir to bs a reformer in the sense in whioh the word is used now, nevertheless, I believe that the adoption of this measure will be productive of good to the people ot the state, and will insure better treatment of this great and important matter in the future of this state and In many other states. In Great Britain, where that system has been tried, there are now less ooutested seat* than ever before.” The senator then spoke at length on the tariff, McKinley and form bills, his remarks being frequently inter rupted by applause. In conclusion, ne urged all democrats to vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. Senator Hill left at 10:30 o’olook for Albany. BETTING ON THE RESULT. Plenty of Money at Even Going Up in the Metropolis.

New York, Nov. 4.—An Irlsh-Arnerloan mass mooting, under republican auspices, In Cooper Union to-night brought forth plenty of enthusiasm. Patrick Egan, minister to Chile, was the drawing card.

Among {he resolutions patsod were tbe following: Resolved, That we repel with vehement In dignation the lying pretense of tbe so called Democratic party to “own ’’ or to "control” ttie Irish vote, and that wo resent with scorn and contempt tbe vile Insult offered to our race by that renegade from bis party, and whose sorry reputation caused Senator Hill to repudiate him as dangerous to any party who would trust him—Wayne MacVeagh.

Tho Premier Proposes a Reduction In the Number of Irish Members in the Imperial Parliament—Retention of the Veto Power in the Imperial Parliament Also Proposed. (Copyriaht. 1892. hy the .V. Y. Associate t Press.) London, Nov.4.—When Mr. Gladstone, soon after taking the reius of office, held a oonforonoe with Justin McCarthy, John Dillon and William O’Hrieo, on home rule, he gave them a distinct impression, if not an absolute assurance, that the forthcoming bill ot the liberal government would provide for full representation of Irish members In the Imperial parliament. The determina tion of the Irish party to retain ail of its representatives at Westminster or to have none at all, was made known to the premier ns an slisolute condition ot their aoceptauce of nny homo rule bill. The prog ress of the bill in the cabinet councils dur lug the present week hew darkened tbs pros pects of Its approval by the nationalists. Supporters of the ministry in a position to possess precise information upon the suhjeot say that the cabinet is discussing favorably the clause to retain an Irish representation In parliament, but to reduoe the number of members entitled to vote on Imperial ques tions only from 103 to 78 under the new scheme of the redistribution of seats. To define what constitutes an "imperial ques tion" is now taxing the collective skill of the cabinet oommittee. the veto power. Another point regarding whioh the Irish leaders are likely to come luto collision with the ministry is the decision that tho imperial parliament shall, by a two-thirds majority, have power to veto all bill* passed by the Irish parliament. The Irish nationalists demand that tha dole right to veto such bills shall be vested In the crown under the direct advioe of Irish ministers. The McCarthy ites are better pleased with the amendments giving ths Irish parliament oonlrol over the polios and judiciary, and liberal provisions to settle the laud questions after the fundi uuder tbs existing purchase acts have been exhausted. Though tho main feature* of the bill ara settled on, the dstatls evidently bristle with difficulties. A FARMERS’ PARTT. Both the liberal and conservative wire puller* are trying to seize the advantage in the agitations springing up because of ths depression of agriculture to form a farmers’ party. The conservative* have a little tho best of the liberals just now, because they have a majority in the oouucil of the central chamber of agriculture that is now organ izing a conference whereat remedies for the existing depressions snail he discussed. If the o >unuU succeeds in manipulating the appointment of delegate the bulk will bo tories, with leanings toward protection ami slow to advooato a reduction in rents. Thu agitation seems certain to result in the springing up of a farmers’ party, with a platform having a strong liberal bias. .Such a platform is already b*iug o instructs 1 aud is being discussed at fanners’ meetings. a tariff on grain. ' The agricultural pre*s puts aside the ques tion of Imposing a tariff on grain a* it is impossible to obtain sufficient support for it. Tbs demands Include readjustment of tha rats* tanners pay for holdings, the forma tion ot laud courts, a reduction of tithes and income tax, and reform of the garno law. This programme is very uninviting to the landowners, but the difficulties in the situation appear to battle their ingenuity to solve. The farmers are now faoing the worst year known to ths present generation and are seeking relief iu immediate legisla tion on these hues. FEMALE SUFFRAGE. Woman's suffrage aud women’s work are other questions of the day that have been pushed to the froDt. James Htuart, M. I’., presiding at yesterday's meeting of the women’s suffrage society, took a gloomy view of the prospect of parliament's pass ing a bill conceding their claims. Ho re gretted that sinoe Rt. Hon. James Htansfold had been excluded from tbe ministry there was no one in the liberal government who could be relied upon to advocate the causa of women's suffrage, and no one prominentia the party to depend upon. Mrs. Htanbury and other women spoke, taking a more hopeful view and basing their opinion upon promises made by a number of members of the House of Commons; whom the women suffragists mean to whip into the right lobby when parliament divides on the bill. The treatment to which female employee of the aerated breud company have been subjected has just bo u made publio and has aroused indignant publio criticism. Many hundred girls work sixty hours weekly for from Bto 10 shillings a week, often In overheated, badly ventilated under ground rooms. As the last dividend de clared by the oompauy was 43 per ceut., a ■mall section of the shareholders proposed that the workers should aDo profit by the prosperity of the compauy and rooeivo a slight increase in their wages. The bulk of tbe shareholders were thunder.true* at such a proposal. They howled it down. The chairmau declared that tbe company could get girls at half tbe prtoe now paid; denounced workiogmen iu general fir crav ing for what was call and leisure, and com plained that pride iu labor was lessen ing. The Women’s Trade Union Associa tion has takon up tbe case of tho girls and proposes to organize them for their own protection and make things warm for tho companies. THE BII.VKR CONFERENCE. Now that the membership of the monetary conference is fully made up, it la evideut that the advocate* of a single standard are in the majority. England, Germany, Aus tr a and Belgium will send delegations having u prepondoranoe of monometalUsts, yet the growing belief in London finanoial ciroles is that tbo conference will etfect aoma arrangement. The talk formerly indulged in about the futility of the congrats is no longer heard. The president of the institute of bankers, in his inaugural address, referred to the eurroucy question as urg ently demanding reasonable settlement. The duty of the government, he said, to tind a practical remedy for the existing di'Acui ties could never he inet by theoretio discus sion. This declaration nad great signifi cance as a distinct advance oil the ‘•lai.-aea fairs” treatment of the subject. The alli ance of the Euglish delegates is expected to guide the decision to a great degree. They have as yet received no definite instructions. It is reported that the government is consid ering a suggestion made by influential Arms of Manchester. Liverpool and London to settle the question upon the basis of reotprooal concessions, the gold standard countries taking silver ooius at par, and the sliver countries giving in turn reductions in tarlif. A leading expert on thg subject told the Associated Press correspondent that re ciprocity upotfla silver coinage basis would be impracticable. BIRTHDAY OF THE FlttNC*.
