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.

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

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. Dickinson,
Chairman Democratic Campaign Committee.
Another Republican Cornea Over.
Danville, Va., Nov. 4.—Judge John D.
Blackwell, for years past an influential re
publican. and a few years ago toe repub
lican candidate for congress from the Fifth
Virginia district, addressed a democratic
audience to-day and declared his intention
to support ax-Fresident Cleveland.
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.

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. Tbe hail was
well filled, os It has been at all of tbe big
meetings of tbe campaign, nearly 4,000
people being presout. The speeches were
well punctuated by applause. 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.
Resolved, That we heartily commend the en
ergetic action of the present administration In
behalf of the Irish political prisoners who are
held on perjured evidenoe iu Irish prisons.
Resolved, That we hereby reiterate our con
fidence In Hon. Patrick Egan, and express our
acknowledgments to President Harrison for his

GLADSTONE’S IRISH BILL.
ITS APPROVAL BY THE NATIONAL*
I -.T3 DOUBTFUL.
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.
