The Liveliest and Host Telling Meeting of
the Opening Campaign.
The telegraph failed to report (as is fre
quently tht: case,) the great Irish meeting in
New York last Thursday night. The Herald
of Friday devotes a page to the meeting
from which we extract the following:
"What a glorious reveille of the campaign
it is! What a grand muster of Irishmen and
Irish women ! And what destruction it has
wrought to the Boap bubble of the Irish vote
for Blame!" was the truthful comment made
by a gentleman who witnessed the proceed
ings at the Academy of Music last evening.
The demonstration of Irish citizens was
great in every sense. From the opening
note of the Sixty-ninth regiment band to the
closing cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks
it was a continual ovation to the Democratic
candidates and the Democratic party. An
audience, which filled every nook and corner
of the great building and overflowed into and
filled the neighboring streets, came early and
showed no intention of going away until the.
flow of oratory and music had ceased, over
three hours later, It was a splendid audi
ence, one which any orator might be proud
to address — keen and wide awake, quick to
appreciate humor, ever on the alert to catch
and respond to a good "point;" particularly
responsive when Irish 1 sues were brought
into discussion, and boiling over with enthu
siasm whenever the ■ Line of Cleveland gave
it a chance to display lung capacity. It rose
to Mrs. i'arncll, upon her arrival, in a whirl
wind of enthusiasm which lasted for several
moments, and again look pains to empha
size its feelings when Mr. William .T. Bines,
the ex president of the American branch of
t!ie Land League, came forward to speak for
Cleveland and genuine protection fur alien
born citizens, and marked that he had
come lest ins absence might be misinter
preted at the present time. As for that newly
pledged friend of the irishmen, James G.
Blame, he met with Bad treatment at the
hands and voices of those who could remem
ber the favors which were not performed at
a time when he might have been a friend in
need.
The one great question of the campaign
was emphatically settled by the meeting.
T.i ■ irisu vote is not for Illume, and the
Democratic vote will bo solid for the party
candidates. That is definitely settled.
The speakers of the evening were for
most part happily chosen. Senator Jones
opened the speech making. Congressman
Patrick A. Collins, of Boston, especially
found hi way deep into the hearts of the au
dience. II:- speech was like a litany almost,
for every sentence brought forth a thorns of
appropriate responses from the great throng.
In clear, plain language he checked oil the
leading issues of the campaign most Inter
esting to men of Irish blood. The climax of
his speech was the contrast drawn between a
Bi'crttary of state refusing to help American
citizens cast into foreign prisons and a young
Buffalo lawyer freely defending the Irishmen
in trouble til Fort Erie with British authori
ties. When he had completed the picture
tin- audience stood up as one man to huzza
lor tin! then young lawyer, G rover Cleveland,
until voices grew hoarse and their owners sal
down from sheer exhaustion. Gen. Bourke
and Mr. Mines spoke pithily and to the point,
mid held the people hi full numbers at an
Lour when audiences are usually growing
thin.
orcxixn i he meetixo.
A medley of Irish airs, doubly encored,
accompanied the assembling of the audience.
Men who wen not in reserved seats at eight
o'clock lost them, for the house was then
thrown open in every part. Commissioner
('■ cm n called the meeting to order and
nominated Mr. Eugcno Kelly chairman,
who « .is elected by acclamation and made a
•hurl speech. Col. O'llyrae then rend the list
nt vice presidents and secretaries, and the
audience wore heard from at the sound' of
each fuvorite name, which as followed by
liners -and often by .■ amusing catch word
from 'OHIO witty Irishman in the house.

ley, secretary; Robert Manheimer, of Minne
sota; State Senator Murray, Sheriff Davidson

THE PARTY OF TIIE PEOPLE.
Congressman P. A. Collins, of Boston, ex
president of the Land league, was one of the
speakers. "It is a very warm night," be
said, when the cheers which greeted him
were over, "but unless all signs fail we shall
make it very much warmer for the old enemy
before November. [Applause.] lam glad
to find that notwithstanding the cajolery and
attempted if not contemplated bribery to get
the Democratic vote of this state divided, the
Democratic party of this city are united, as
you indicate to-night. [Applause.] It is the
party which on this continent has made hu
man freedom possible. It is the party which
has seen the birth and witnessed the death of
every other political organization save one,
and for that the grave yawns 'vide in No
vember. [Applause and laughter.] No
other political organization formed by man
on this continent survived a great defeat.
We have been out of power for twenty-four
years. We have stood up against calumny
and opposition of every kind and against the
money power of this country, with the labor
of the country as our basis, and we propose
to exist as a political organization until the
triumph of our party is written In November.
[Applause.] And why! Because every
other party represented something else than
the peopi". The Democratic party repre
sented nothing but the masses of the people.
When the federalist party went down it went
down for good. On its ashes rose another
party called the Whig party. It was emi
nently respectable and the aristocracy was
always on top. The Democratic party op
posed that organization, and when the Whig
party went down it went down forever.
Upon the ruins of the Whig party came the
party that Jim Maine did his best to found
in Augusta, Maine, the Know Nothing party.
[Groans.] It bad three short years of lift:
and then merged with the free soldiers Into
the Republican party. The Democratic
party went down in 1860, but it didn't go
down to stay. It is here to-day, a majority
of the people of the country. [Cheers.] If
the Democratic voters of this country /ota
the Democratic ticket every man knows that
Cleveland and Hendrieka will be elected.
[Cheers.] The Democratic party cast its
lull vote eight years ago and the Republi
cans stole the presidency. [Hisses.] Four
years ago the Republicans bought the presi
dency In Indiana. Now they prspose to
wheedle us out of the presidency! [Laugh
ter.] You never saw in all your experience
such excessive love for their Celtic brethren
as is shown by the Republican party mana
ger!*, and especially by that great
old friend of ours, the New York Tribune.
We are told it is about time this solid vote
was broken up, and they would divide it be
tween the purtlcs with impartiality. [Laugh
ter.] Well, when I get ready to leave the
Democratic party and join some other or
ganization I want to vote for a decent man
Cor president. [Applause.]
'•I am here as one of yourselves. I am
here as an American. [Cheers.] Anybody
reading my front name mlgi:t suppose I was
Irish. Bui lam DOt Irish. Twenty years
ago] was a man without a country, and if
James (I. Maine and his old Know Nothing
party and his new Republican party had their
way I would be a man without a country now.
[Applause.] I happened to be born in Ire
laud. It i-> a circumstance for which I am
not at all responsible— [laughter] — and for
which I make no apology. But I took an
oath of allegiance to the United States of
America, and, by the grace of God i will
keep that oath and remain a true American.
[Enthusiastic cheers.] [shall never be a
party to the creation of an Irish section of
the Democratic or Republican parties. Wo
are here as a component part of this groat
composite nationality. We ask no
special privileges or advantages
on account of our blood or religion,
and, with the help of God, we will take no
advantage on account of either. [Cheers.]
liut we are singled out for cajolery at this
time, and we are told that we should desert
our party and vote for the Republican party
—[A voice — won't do it.] Of course,
we wont, because, forsooth, the Republican
candidate is friendly to the Irish Interest —
[ironical laughter and cries of "Oh, dear!"]
III. AINU'S OKI).
"Now, suppose it were proper to discuss
American politics from an Irish standpoint,
let us see where we would land, Take the
record of the man. Thirty years ago Jam?:
G. Maine turned up In Augusta, Me., and
adopted ii fashionable religion. A good
friend of mine, Father John Bapbatt «a
tarred and feathered there, and 1 believe
ridden on a rail. The Kcunebec Journal,
Mr. Maine's >paper, instead of denouncing
the outrage, said there was groat provocation
for It. The only provocation for it was that
Father Ba| bsi performed the holy otllce of a
religion different from that practiced by the
readers and editors of that paper. Nine yean
. ago my friend James ('. Madigan was a can
didate for congress in the Fourth Maine
district. James G. Blame was the editor and
publisher of the Kennebee Journal, and
■ chairman of the Republican State
committee. That committee issued
' a circular which I can't but
. characterize as dastardly. It purported tc
i be published by a "Protestant Democrat.'
, It was charged upon Mr. Blame that he cir
. culated that document. Mr. Madigan was
called a 'lay Jesuit.' It was said that ttu
Catholics wanted to have their repirseuta
tives in congress, and charged all gooc
I Protestants to vote against him and hit aaj
. Catholic head wherever they saw it. Tat
authorship of that document was never dis
, avowed until the present canvass. I have s
friend in Boston, an editor. Mr. Blame sen:
' a confidential messenger to him, statin;
upon hi* honor as a man be had nothing t«
do with the Madigan circular, so-called. The
circular was printed in the oiilce of the Ken
' nebec Journal, Mr. Blame's own paper; it
i was printed with the same type as that paper
. and circulated by the state committee, o
I which Mr. Maine was chairman, and whost
' bills he audited. And Mr. Blame said hi
knew nothing about it: The printer, no*
; out of the state of Maine, who set up th<
i circular, says it was in the badwriting of Mr
Maine's amanuensis. To-day we have th<

THE LAND LEAGUE.
''Now, the time came when . the son of
that lady in yonder box — (the speaker
pointed to Mrs. I'aruell and the whole au
dience rose and cheered, hats and handker
chiefs were waved and it was more than a
minute before quiet was restored, Mrs. Far
nell bowing in recogcition of the demonstra
tion meanwhile) — in my judgment the
ablest young man in Europe, came hither for,
I hope, the last time, carrying the contribu
tion box, but he came also to found an or
ganization that with the help of God will win
for Irishmen free action, . and from the time
he came, up to this hour, though James G.
Blame was invited at different times to par
ticipate in those meetings for charity or for
agitation, he never deigned to recognize or
respond, to the invitation. (Groans and
hisses.) Ah, but, our Republican friends tell
us, Mr. Blame will change all that
when he becomes president of the United
States, and give us a vigorous foreign policy.
Well, that shows that the policy must have
been very languid up to the present time,
He will make war with England. Will he?
What can he or will he do as president that
he could not do as secretary of state if he so
desired ? Everybody knows that while Gar
field was president Blame dominated him;
and besides that the constitutional laws of
the United States put the foreign policy of
the government in the hands of the secre
tary of state. And while we stood upon
platform after platform all over this country;
while the press teemed with indignant re
monstrances against the American citizens
whowere languishing in British pris
ons, Lowell — (hisses) — was kept at
his post in England by James
G. Blulne, and Blame himself never
said three manly words in behalf of those
men. (Groans.) That's the man who is
going to give us a vigorous foreign policy.
We had sympathy for that cause and paid
out money for it. We showed in everyway
our appreciation of the situation on the
! other side. James J. Blame was dumb and
playing into the hands of the enemy.
IRISHMEN AIDED BY CLEVELAND.
"Where was one candidate on that issue?"
As long ago as the attack on Fort Erie, when
a number of our people were arrested for
violation of the neutrality laws, a young law
yer of Buffalo, then somewhat obscure, chiv
alrously came forward and volunteered to
defend them without fee and without reward.
His name was Grover Cleveland. [Prolonged
cheers'.] He has been a consistent but not
intrusive, honest, gentlemanly friend of
those in difficulty, with a hand ever open to
any good cause; with an honest government
as his ideal of the duty of the magistrate,
and above all he has made it his rule that a
public office is a public trust, and that
public money is to be expended for public
use only. ,
HONEST GOVERNMENT "WANTED.
And what on the other side; Gentlemen,
whoever votes in this election has the choice
of voting for an honest government In this
country, controlled by the old Democratic
party, whose record is known to all men, or
they have the privilege by their votes of
turning the United States government over
to the plunderers. [Applause.] All other
questions are subordinate to this. Give us
■ good Democratic government in this
country and all the rest will be counted unto
us. Give us a stable administration of our
public affairs, give us economy in the ex
penditure of the public money and a reduc
tion of taxation. Labor will be rewarded,
speculation will cease, dishonesty will dis
appear, speculation will be at an end, the
people of this country will be prosperous and
satisfied. [Applause.]
Are we different from any other element
in the community? (Cries of "No, no!")
Don't we want an honest government, low
taxes, a country prosperous at home and re
spected abroad as well as anybody else?
(Cries of "Yes, yes; certainly.") Are we
different from any other people that we can
be played upon by demogoguesj fooled by
flattery, bought by bribes, cheated by news
papers that we have been foolish enough to
trust? (Groans.) What we want is a plain
administrative system for plain, common
sense people. Applause.) We are all in
terested in that. First, let us puthiiuaet men
In office ; let tu apply Democratic principles
to the administration of this government.
Let us not vote us Irish, not as Danes, not
a* English or Germans, but let us vote ac
cording to our oath and according to our
conscience as citizens of the United States."
(Cheers.)

CHICAGO. i
I
(Special Telegram to the Globe. I
Chicago, Sept 1. — The gain markets
showed a fair degree of activity, but the feel
ing was nervous and values unsettled, both
bulls and bears making strotg efforts for
victory. Each at times had the iscendency,
the former, however, securing * slight ad
vantage at the close. Wheat showed the
largest degree of animation, and nay be said
to lead the deal. The influences calculated
to control prices were fairly divided, the
strengthening factors being smaller receipts
than were expected at St. Louis and other
leading points in the west; more favorable
advices than have been received fron Europe
for weeks, and higher prices in Ncy York.
Brokers who handle the export tnde were
talking more encouragingly. On tie other
hand, the bears were encouraged by the
heavy receipts, a email outward increment,
bright weather and a small shipping
demand, which was closely restricted
to winter. Corn shows many features of
strength for the near future, the shipping
demand being good, receipts only fail and
the demand higher. Values for the dataat
future hinge on the weather for the next
fifteen days and those who buy or sell such
options should consider the contingent^ of
frosts. October wheat closed where it i did
Saturday at 81% c; October corn }£c higher
at 50% c, and oats for the same month j Hi:
higher at 26% c. Provisions were less active
than grain and the closings, though not at
the highest points of the day, showed a jain
over Saturday, pork closing at $19 for Sep
tember and October, a gain of $1. Lard
closed at $7.57^ for October, a gain of ! sc,
•ad ribs for the same month at $10.05) ■
gain of sc. Among provision men the fend
of the Armour corner was still a fruitful sub
ject of discussion. \
Said a close observer of the markets : "The
deal was a very remarkable one. If Mr.
Armour had not in May last had his cellirs
full of cured meats, and put to the necessity
for that reason, of giving a tremendous rap
port to the market, there are intelligent uiul
conservative people here who are firm In tlio
opinion that the panic of Wall street wouli
have overtaken Chicago. Immediately npo»
the failure of Grant & Ward and the ooOapM
of the Metropolitan National and Marine
banks alarm was general here lest the values
of grain and provisions should be cut in
wain, grain carriers overwhelmed, and per
hup* some of the banks cripplud. The big
professional traders at New York felt certain
that this very thing would happen here. Not
able to sell as fast and to as good advantage
at Gotham as they desired, they became sel
lers in all other markets. Petroleum was
sold down by them nearly to 50c a barrel,
and they became furious sellers of hay pro
duct and of wheat. It was a fortunate thing
for Chicago and Chicago traders that when
the panic began in New York Alexander
Mitchell was backing 'Bill' Young in a great
wheat deal, but still more fortunate, infin
itely more fortunate, that Phil Armour was
loaded up with cash product, and was deter
mined to protect it with all his money anil
his brains. Alexander Mitchell was, as ev
erybody knows, scared out of wheat by the
terrible catastrophles which followed one
after the other at Gotham, but the first was
just before be ordered Young to
pell, and the grain market ha.d been
given all the support it needed. But
I Armour did not show even a tremor of
nervousness from the moment he began his
purchases. The terrific onslaughts made
upon the market were coolly met. The efforts
of the speculative bulldozer, Nat Jones, to
create popular sympathy for himself and his
customer, Wocrlshoffer, of Wall street, did
not gain a single concession. It was an
Armour deal from start to finish; well con
ceived; carried out calmly to the last detail,
and no changing of programme, am
altogether without fury and fuss. It wif
without any sarcasm, one of the few corners
where raiding speculators were alone mulcted,
and where the outsiders were actually gain
it? rather than losers."
Exports from the principal Atlantic port!
for the past week were 2,742.000 bushels o
wheat, 257,000 bushels of corn and 128.000
barrels of flour. This is an Increase ovei
the previous week of wheat and flour equal
to 500,000 bushels of wheat.
Hereafter two days' receipts will be poste<
on Tuesday instead of on Monday, as has al
ways been the custom, Sunday and Mondaj
being posted together instead of Saturday
and Sunday.
Wheat was quoted firm in the English sea
board market, and the receipts at many o
the interior American cities fell below the
anticipation. The; e facts and the taking o
freight room for 102,000 bushels formed th<
chief bull arguments; bat the receipts hen
were fair, aggregating 309 cars, of which 2.
were winter, against a total of 234 cars Sat
urday. The withdrawals were also small,
aggregating only 30,762 bushels, of which
25.154 were winter, and the shipping de
mand was small and strictly to:
the latter. Bat the strong tone of foreign
markets and those in New York, coupled
with an inclination on the part of the bears
to sell cautiously and then cover on the
slightest sign of an upward turn, caused a
strong feeling at the opening. October was
the fsvorife future and }>i®%c over Satur
days close, or at Sl^^Sl^c. When th<
first anxious buyers were filled, bidding was
slow and prices declined under fair offer
ings to Sl'-j'c. when there was some steady
buying by Hobbs, Com stock, MeHenrv.
Baxter and Dunham, which, with the increas
Ing strength on the New York exchange,
caused a rise to S*2c. Tee character of th«
: buyers, who are supposed to be doing only i
i scalping business at present, failed to inspirt
confidence among a large class of operator
and prices receded and closed on the regnUu
session at SI " A c. which was also the las!
figure on the short afternoon board. Septem
ber opened at 7S*ic and closed at 7SXc, «
gain of s,c.
Said A. M. Wright this morning: "Tbt
markets are dragging on the bottom and i
1* impossible to tell whether the/ will cob
inuc to drag or advance 3 or 4 cents. There j
b a growing belief, however, that prices are
00 low, and for the . present I think that
udicious purchases made on tho breaks are
ikely to pay a profit. I confess, however,
,hat I see little to encourage an opinion that
prices are likely to undergo any very large I
ldvance in the near future. In case prices
ihould remain where they are farmers will •
De disposed to hold back their grain from I
;he market, but if there . should be an
ldvance of 4or 5 cents there will probable
be such an influx of grain that prices would I
De forced to a point lower than they have yet j
reached." |
Corn was in good demand and the market !
»-as firm and higher. Receipts were fair,
but the out inspection was large, which about
equalized each other. English advices
tailed to oiler any encouragement to buyers i
and the weather *-as in every way favorable
to the growing crops. The market opened a
shade higher, but a strong pressure to sell
all futures beyond this month was soon de
veloped, and the demand being light prices
receded %(a%c. Among the free sellers
were Wheeler & Gregory, Lester, Schwartz
& Dupee, Mead & Beach and other leading
houses. October was the trading future and I
opened at 50^c, declined to 49%e, but' a I
good shipping demand soon developed and ■
freight room was taken for 263,000 bushels. I
These facts started the shorts to covering I
freely, among the principal purchasers being I
McHenry & Balding, Baker, Pool & Sher- I
man, Bliss & Cantber. ' This
sent prices upward, and the buying
was increased by a report that a professional
statistician, who makes crop reports to order,
had announced that the yield would be much
less than previous estimates. Prices ad
vanced to 51Jj,'c, but, a3 corn had followed
wheat all the day, it weakened, when the lat
ter broke and closed at 50% con the morn
ing board and 50% con the afternoon board,
the same as the close on Saturday. Septem
ber closed at 51% c, the same as on Satur
day.
Oats were quiet and the opening firm, but
they receded and covered about the same
range as on Saturday. Bob Wallace tried to
get rid of Rome of his long oats early in the
day, but with only partial success. He is
popularly supposed to be long on September
some 600,000 or 800,000 bushels. Elevator
charges are % c a bushel every ten days, and
as the receipts are heavy Mr. Wallace is re
ported to be not in the happiest frame of
mind possible. Cash, September and year
closed at 25% c and October at 26% c.
In the provision crowd there was the
usual dearth of business. Hutchison was
buying September lard and selling October.
He has great faith in the prospects fey an ac
tive demand for the cash product in the next
few days, hence was ready to take all tllfc
September lard the crowd hud for sale. The
feeling in a general way was firmer, not
withstanding the unfavorable reports from
abroad and closing priced higher on all
articles. Trading in pork was limited and
the only feature worthy of "note was an ad
vance from $18 to $19 in the September and
October options.
Lard was in fair demand and higher, tb*
closing on the morning board being at $7.02
for October, against $7.47 Saturday, but the
feeling was weeker on the afternoon board,
and the market fell off to §7.57. November
closed the same as October and September
10c lower.
Short ribs were stronger, and the decline
noted Saturday was fully recovered. The
closing figures were the lowest of the day,
being $10.20 for September, a gain of 15c;
810.05 for October, an advance of 5c and at
$10.05 for November.
Among the fresh receipts of cattle were
alput 0,000 western rangers, and about 1,000
T«xans. The quality of the westerns was
tl»: best for any one day so far this season.
Good natives were scarce and sold at equally
as strong prices as last week, and the best
may be quoted at tfl.so<g^7. Stockers and
feeders are scarce, demand fair, and prices
steady. There were no thorough Texans on
the market, but they arc quotable at «■:;..">' ■
$1.25. One big drove of wintered sold at
$4.25. The Snow Land and Cattle company
bad about 600 Wyoming sold that averaged
about 94U and brought •*'.. The Swan Land
an 1 Cattle company had a train of thirty cars
r>f Wyoming! that averaged about 1,140 and
jolil for $5.15.
! The hoir market opened strong. One of
the first sales was to a speculator at ?6.75 for
a choice lot of heavy, and that was the high
est price of the day for that sort. A few
Pnlladelphia.«, it was reported, sold as Ugh
as ffJ.SO. The market generally was active,
and prices a strong 10c higher on all aorta.
In some In stances there was an advance of
15 to Me. Llirht sold .at $5.75®G.60, the
bulk at t6.55Q16.40. The best heavy sold
at *•• '■ ■ ' 75, and mixed at [email protected]. I
(hasten sold at .*4.7.". «:>.7.->. I
The average gross weight for August was I
239, against 23G for July.
G. S. Bverlnghan & Co. say: "On mod
erate receipts of corn and a continued active
demand for shipment, the market has been
strong and higher, but it must be borne in
mind that the price is already high, and that
while manipulation can force a sudden ad
vance, if nothing happens to the growing
crop, lower prices must 'prevail on the long
futures."
McCormick, Kennett & Day say: "With
ordinary speculation a corner in September
and October corn might be looked for, but
there Is no prospect of any." l
Milmine, Bodman & Co.: "The feeling
in the wheat market was much better, and
it look* as if the markets were in condition
to make a sudden advance to-morrow should
the visible supply show over 1,000,000 bush
els reduction, as many suppose it will.
t Some of the strength noticeable to-day is due
to this (act. Receipts for the balance of the
week, we think, will show lighter. The
September deal in corn is being watched
with much interest, as there is a belief gain
ing ground that there is some manipulation
1 in it. We think it a good purchase on
breaks."

Milwaukee, Sept I.— Wheat is steady to
day at a slight advance of say about half a
cent from Saturday's closing. English mar
kets were quoted with better tone with 6
pence per quarter advance on California
wheat to arrive. Here the exports for last
week from seaboard figured up large, and a
liberal redaction in the visible supply is ex
, pected in to-morrow's report. These condi
tions made the market firmer, though trade

1 SEW YORK.
I (Special Telegram to the Globe.]
I New York. Sept — Wars and rumors of
. wan between the trunk lines on passenger
business caused a weak opening for stocks
this morning. A break to 48 In Union Pa
cific was a trifle demoralizing also. Later
there was a sharp decline, in Northwestern
on a report that the earnings were showing
up anything but favorably, and by midday
the whole list looked as weak as the most
sanguine, bear could wish. There appeared
to be no support from any quarter and every
body was selling stocks. The Grangers were
attacked quite savagely. The bears were in
the ascendency through the whole day. A few
feeble rallies oc&irred, but at the last North
western was selling at 98 and the feeling was
heavy throughout. The declines in several
6tocks have been quite severe, varying from
Ito 8 % points. , A few properties, such •as
Rock Island and Chicago, Burlington &
Quiney were affected but little. The market
closed weak and unsettled, and unless the
cliques come to the rescue to-morrow we may
be treated to still lower figures before the tide
turns.
THE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.
London, Sept. I.— The Mark Lane Ex
press, in its weekly review of the English
corn trade, says: "The English corn har
vest began and ended under unusually fa
vorable conditions, although the yield of the
wheat crop is reported variable. The condi
tion of the crop is excellent. "Wet and
colder weather has somewhat improved the
tone of the market to-day. The sales of Eng
lish wheat the past week were 57,824 quar
ters at 35s Id, against 30,017 quarters at 43s
2d for the corresponding week last year.
The market for foreign wheat is unimproved.
The demand is at the lowest possible ebb
and the values nominal. In the off coast
trade during the week seventeen cargoes ar
rived. Seven were sold, seven withdrawn,
and six remained. Trade is forward but in
animate." . .
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
An Interview with Hon. P. H. Kelly-
Confidence in Democratic
Success.
Hon. P. H. Kelley, member of the Demo
cratic National committee for Minnesota,
arrived home yesterday noon from a busi
ness trip east. Mr. Kelly's visit east was
largely upon private business, but at the
same time he combined matters of a public
character with attention to his private affairs.
While in the east Mr. Kelly was brought
more or less in contact with leading politi
cians, as he is one of the best known busi
ness men of the west, aside from his promi
nence as a politician, and be
ing so v well known he had
exceptional advantages for learning how
the political outlook seemed to a western
man, and hence his views arc worth more
than ordinary newspaper reports which are
given frym day to day through the means of
newspaper correspondents and the garbled
reports of the Associated Press. A repre
sentative of the Globe called upon Mr. Kelly
yesterday afternoon and found him at
his private desk surrounded with a bushel of
letters and a small army of employes, each
waiting his turn for recognition and instruc
tions, but with his usual courtesy, Mr. Kelly
laid aside his accumulated private busi
ness and accorded the Globe man a few
moments of his time.
Mr. Kelly — "Well, my boy, what do you
I want to know?"
Reporter — "You have just returned from
i the east Mr. Kelly, and rumur has it that you
went east upon important political matters.
Is that a fact?" x
Mr. X. — I went east upon matters con
nected with the business of our house mostly,
but while there I had the pleasure of meet
ing with the Advisory, as well as the Execu
tive, committee of the Democratic National
committee, and matters were talked over in
a general way in regard to the campaign, but
no action was taken of public interest thus
far.
R. — It has been reported that the Demo
cratic National committee has sent a large
amount of money into Maine to influence
the state election next week for political ef
fect. Is such the fact!
X. — There is not a word of truth in the as
sertion. Not a dollar has been sent to that
state. The committee decided to allow Maine
to fight its own battles, and we will abide by
the result of the vote of the people.
R. — How about the Irish-American meet
ing in New York on Thursday ni<;ht last*
X. — It was the grandest demonstration I
ever saw. It was presided over by Hon.
Eugene Kelly, one of the leading bankers of
the city, and among the ten thousand
present were the representative men from
Tammany hall, Irvinsc hall, the county
Democracy, and in fact all the leading socie
ties of the great city. The meeting was ad
dressed by Senator Jones, of Florida; Con
gressman Collins, of Massachusetts; General
Burke, of New York; General llynes, of
i Chicago, and other eminent men, all of
whom were loudly applauded. Mrs. Parnell
was present, and she raised an ovation
which has probably never been accorded to
a woman in any public gathering on the
, globe.
R. — Were you at Sarytoga?
X. — Oh, yes! I was there and met
Speaker Carlisle, W. L. Scott, of Pennsyl
vania; Com mack, of New York city; N. S.
; Jones, of Chicago, and others, all of whom
were confident of the election of Cleveland
i and Hendricks, Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania,
being especially confldentof success.
R. — How about Tammany hall, Mr. Kelly?
What will they do?
X. — My impression is, judging from con
' versations with many of Its leading members,
1 that when its regular meeting is held on the
i 15th of this month, that it will, by an' over
-1 whelming majority, decide to support the
. regular Democratic ticket.
R. — How about the Butler movement?
X. — It is hardly worth a mention. I was
disappointed in regard to the strength his
1 friends claim for him.
5 R. — What does the New York Democratic
L State Central committee think of the out
- look?
1 X. — I called at the headquarters of the com
i mittee at the Hoffman bouse and saw Hon.
Win. E. Smith, tl(e chairman of the com
mittee, and others. The committee is doing
excellent work and express the utmost con
fidence in carrying the state by a majority
which will not require going behind the re-
P turns.
B R. From all yon saw and heard, Mr.
* Kelly, during your visit east, what is /our
- judgment in regard to the outlook for the
c campaign?
K. lam not given to wild expressions of
my views upon any subject, but yon can say
that in my judgment, unless all outward and
visible signs fail, Cleveland and Kendricks
will be elected. I might — bat excuse
* me.
t Here the reporter was Interrupted by one
. of Mr. Kelly's importunate friends who had
, been waiting to shake him by the hand, and
the reporter found himself out, satisfied,
1 however, that Mr. Kelly had an abiding faith
1 in the success of the Democratic ticket this
» fall.
