VOL. XIV. AMONG OLD FRIENDS. President - Elect Cleveland Given a Royal Reception in New York. lie Was th 9 Honored Guest of the Brilliant Manhat tan Club. Very Few Were There Who Were Not Personally Known to Him. C!r. Cleveland Calls to Mind a Former Reception by the Club. rfi-.AY Yohk, Nov. lit.— President-elect Cleveland was given a reception by the Manhattan club tonight. It was a most memorable affair, the magnificent club rooms being finely decorated. Soon after 7 hundreds of guests began lo ar rive and the balls were well thronged with people when Mr. Cleveland, ac companied by members of the club, ar rived. Mr. Cleveland stood on a dais In front of the central window, which was draped with silken American flags. Very few of the guests had to be formally presented. Mr. Cleveland rec ognized nearly every one, and had a bearty grasp and smile for all. It was a most brilliant and Influential assemblage. Invitations had been sent to all the governors and senators of the Democratic slates, the judges of the supreme court of the United States and or the court of appeals of New York, members of the national Democratic and New York slate committees, and nil who could possibly do so responded. In the main dining room Mr. Cleve land had the Beat of honor, under an oil painting of himself. The walls were Draped With Flags nnd the banners of the Democratic zlubsof New York. It was' announced that no speeches would be maue, but, nevertheless, every man present eagerly awaited a speech from Mr. Cleveland, nnd they were not disappointed. At 11:15 President Coudert arose and intro duced the truest of theeveninir in a neat little speech. Mr. Cleveland arose Blowly and was cheered and applauded Borne minutes. Be sain: '•I can scarcely do more than assure my fellow members of the Manhattan club and their guests, representa tive of the American Democracy. in Scriptural phrase, that it is good for me to be here. This is with in a few days of an event which 1 re call with a peculiar gratification; Ten years age, after 1 had been elected gov ernor of the state of New York, 1 was tendered a reception by the Manhat tan club similar to the one at which we are present tonight. Then 1 know how generous was the Democracy of the Manhattan club aud how kind and friendly were its" members personally to myself. The recollection awakened a lively sense of gratitude and apprecia tion," which has been ever present with me. '•This new evidence of your hospital ity and kindness is not only in keeping with your reputation, but is peculiarly lilting and appropriate as legardsthe time selected. On the first occasion you encouraged me as i began my pubiic career and now you n Bid Me Godspeed as" I enter on this last stage. [Applause.] Ail xhis time 1 have been a citizen or this state, loyal to her interests, proud ,of her career, and jealous of her su premacy. [Cheers.] The applause ' which your greeting affords me is largely enhanced by the fact that this courtesy I receive comes from the hands of my fellow townsmen, who 1 am proud to call friends. Since the occasion which I have re called events which have transpired cannot help suggesting that political candidates are now ematly Changed. he American people have become po litically moie thoughtful and more wist ful than ten years ago. They are. con sidering now vastly greater questions than then. Party policy has been the important thing in contradistinction to party spoils. The distribution of party rewards for party action is no longer Hie mainspring of political campaign. '1 he situation must be gravely and in telligently met by those in charge of our political organization. No party, I care not whether Democratic or Re publican, can get the support of the mass of the voters by merely promising party rewards for party supremacy. People will be satisfied with nothing less than the redemption of The Sacred Pledges to them collectively, the administration Df wise policies, and the carrying on of nn honest government. [Great cheering.! •'1 would not have this otherwise. 1 Din willing that the Democratic party Bhould see that it may only hope suc cessfully to retain the con-deuce of the people in meeting the situation by being absolutely and patriotic ally true to itself and its professions. This is the assured guarantee of suc cess. 1 know no other. [Cheers.] What ever the future may have in store for me— whatever niny be— l shall always carry with me .md cherish a lively and comforting remembrance of the kind ness of the Manhattan club." There was uproarious applause at the conclusion of .Mr. Cleveland's speech. "Three cheers for the next president" were called for by President Coudret and given with a will. Among those piesent were Gov. Russell, of Massachu- M-tts: Go v.Abbott, of JSew Jersey; Gov.- Klect \Vert7.,of New Jersey ;ex-Gov.Beal, New.lei>ey;MayorGrant,Mavorßoodie. ol Brooklyn; Bishop McDonnell, of Brooklyn: Congressman Hen T.

New York. Nov. 19.— The speech of [inner Cleveland at the dinner given by Henry Villard has just been made public. It was in part as follows: "Mr.\ ilia ret and Gentlemen: 1 find it Impossible to rid myself at this moment Df the conflicting emotions which stir within me. 1 see here assembled good and staunch friends who have labored incessantly and devotedly for the success which has crowned Dem ocratic effort in the canvass just closed, and 1 cannot fQijjet how greatly those efforts J_ rt ve been characterized by person attachment mci friendship Jot the candidate se tected to cnitj the Democratic banner. . This awakens a sense of gratitude which it is a great pleasure for me to thank fully acknowledge. I should not. per haps, introduce anythingsomberon this occasion, but I know that you will for give me when I say that every feeling of jubilation, and even my sense of gratitude, is so tempered as to be al most entirely obscured by a realization, nearly painful, of the responsibility I have assumed in the sight of the Ameri can people. "Wnen 1 consider all that we have to do as a party charged with the control of the government 1 feel that our cam paign, instead of being concluded, is but just begun. If we see nothing in our victory but a license to revel in partisan spoil we shall fail at every point. If we merely profess to enter upon our work.and if we make apparent an endeavor to do it as a cover for seek ing partisan advantage, we shall invite contempt and.disgrace. If we attempt to discharge our duty to the people without complete party harmony in patriotic action we shall demonstrate our incoinpetency . "I thank God that far above all doubts and misgivings we may constantly see the lights of hope and safety. The light we see is the illumination from the principles of true, honest and pure Democracy, showing the way in all times of danger and leading us to the fulfillment of political duty and the re demption of all our pledges. Let us not be misled to our undoing by other lights of false Democracy which may be kindled in broken faith, and which, shining in hypocrisy, will, if allowed, lure usfto the rocks of failure and dis grace. My belief in our principles and my faith in our party constitutes my trust that we shall answer the expecta tions of our countrymen and shall raise high aloft the standard of true Democ racy, to fix the gaze for many years to come of a prosperous, a happy and a contented people." DISCUSSED THK CABINET. Mr, Cleveland Informally Talks to Democrats. New York, Nov. llh— President-elect Cleveland has discussed informally tiie cabinet situation with several "Democrats during the past few days.

Prominent Leaders of the Al liance the Organizers of the Order. Intended to Carry Out the Principles of the Omaha Platform. Macune Charges the Gideon ites With Compassing His Defeat. Memphis, Tenn.,Nov. 19. -An organ ization styled "The Industrial Legion of the United States" has been formed here today by prominent leaders of the People's party, who are also prominent in the Farmers' Alliance, the object of which is to carry out politically the measures embodied in the declaration of principles of the Omaha platform, togetiier with free speech, a free ballot and a fair count. The Industrial Lesion is composed of three classes, the first to consist of male members over twenty-one years voters—to be Known as the senior class; the second will bathe junior class, which will consist oi male mem bers under twenty-one aud over four teen years, who shall be educated and trained to become voters: and the third class will be known as the Woman's Aid corps, which is intended as an aux iliary to the senior legion. The founders of the Industrial Le eioo are prominent leaders of the seven great industrial organization, composing the People's party, together with the foremost People's party members. Among The Charter Members are Hon. A. E. Taubeneck, of Illinois, chairman of the executive committee of the People's party; George F. 'Wash burn, chairman of the Eastern division of the People's party, Boston; Congress man C. Otis, of Kansas City; W. W.

Tiiese, together with our four highest officers, will Constitute the Council. Of the officers of the Women's Aid corps, two were elected by that body as provisional officers to organize' that de partment, being Mrs. Anna L. Diggs, of Washington, 1). C, and Mrs. Marion Todd, of Michigan. Mr. Taubeneck said in an interview, after the organiza tion of the league, that the work of the organization would be promptly begun, and inside of thirty days they would be established in very state in the Union, and by next year this time would have a million and half of members. When the friends of Mr. Macune, the defeated candidate for the presidency of the Alliance, began to compare notes, they found every plan made by them had been circumvented by means they cauld not fathom, unless tlie enemy had been posted by one of their own mem bers. Every secret movement and every other move" they made was checkmated. Macune had been marked for destruc tion by the Gideonites, so say his friends, immediately after the national election on account of his Democratic tendencies. Some mouths ago it was charged that there was A Wheel Within a Wheel ill the Alliance, to which only the lend ing lights belonged, and these did not Know one another, but were controlled by a supreme committee. The Gideon ites were organized for the purpose of making a fight in doubtful congressional districts for the third party candidates. They operated in the Alliance, but were not controlled by its leaders. The Gid eonites, so the Southern friends of Ma cune charge, acted as spies on them and made reports to Taubeneck, who gained his point of manuing the offices with third party people. On the day following: the night's ses sion, in which the tight was made on Macune, which ended in that gentie man's name be'.ng withdrawn from the presidential contest, and when a West ern delegate came near braining George Buchanan with a base ball bat, it was thought that, even though Macune's name had been withdrawn, a rally might be made by his friends. Before balloting begun Taubeneck became very nervous and fearful of the defeat of Loucks, and turned these men loose in the convention hall, who at onco began to browbeat the obstreperous delegates. G.N. Blood, of Mount Vernon, 111., was approached by one of these men and informed that he, in case he failed to vote for Loucks, would be deprived of any political pre ferment in the order or out of it,andthat the third party people would Throw Him Overboard. Blood was forced to obey the injunc tion and voted accordingly. After the election he informed Macuue why he had deserted his colors. Dr. Macune informed the United Press reporter that all of his movements were watched by t'uese oath-bound people and reported to their chief. Macune did not leave until tonight, devoting his time today in consulting with the promoters of the cotton plant ers' co-operative scheme as to the best plan of perfecting the organization and details of the work. President Loucks was m session all day with tlie members of the newly-elected national officers. It was agreed that the headquarters of the executive committee should be re tained at Washington, and the commit tee will attempt to secure legislation favorable to their doctrines. Mr. Loucks said this evening that the future was very bright for the Alliance, and-lhat it would accomplish wonders within the next four years and wonld go into the national campaign in 1895 more powerful than any political party. He made light of the threatened bolt and slid that as soon as the delegates cooled off they would all be in liae wirii the leaders. ' Mr. Loucks' opinions are not snared by his other Northern col leagues, and the Southern delegates generally expressed themselves doul>t iul as to the continuance of the order until the next presidential election, FAVOKED BY LYNCH. A Badger Congressman Who Wants an Extra Session. Milwaukee, Nov. 19.— Congressman Lynch, who lias just been re-elected In the Ninth district by a handsome ma jority, is decidedly in favor of an extra session of congress to be called as soon as President Cleveland takes his seat. Mr. Lynch was in the city to take part in the Democratic jubilee. He said: "1 am heartily in favor of an extra session. It is due to the people who supported the Democratic ticket in the late election in order to have a change of tariff laws. We must keep our prom ises to them. A tariff bill can be pre pared at a special session just as well as to wait until the winter of 1893. It would not injure business interests in a particle. 1 think it will be found that the majority of the Democratic party is in favor of an extra session of congress ana a prompt redemption of our promises made to the people." OUTWITTED HY GLEASOJJ. Lonj* Island Cily's Famous Mayor Is Counted In. Long Island City, L. 1., Nov. 19.— This city is in a fever ot excitement today through the bombshell Mayor Gleason threw into the political camp this morning. The city, which had ac cepted the election returns as final, and had considered Gleasou's defeat for re election as mayor settled and Sanford's triumph over him complete, now finds its calulations overthrown. City Clerk Burke, who is a Gleason, appointee, sent in the official returns to the county cierk this morning, showing that Mayor Gleastm had been re-elected. The majority accordingtotiie.se figures is 742 for Gleason. City Clerk Burke issued a certificate of election to Glea son. and the mayor went to the county clerk's office in Jamaica county to be sworn in. The supreme court will be appealed to to prevent Mayor Gleason from asrain taking office. It is under stood that Gleason claims the office on the ground that nearly a thousand de fective ballots were* cast for his oppo nent, Sanford.

The Ex-Paymastep's Divorce Set Aside by a North Da kota Judge. This Leaves the Countess De Zichiinske in a Peculiar Plight. She Is Duly Married to Mr. Yorke, but Cannot Live With Him. A Philadelphia Story Regard ing- the Parties to the Strange Case. Faijoo, N. D., Nov. 19.— .Judge Mc- Connell yesterday heard arguments on the motion of Attorney Rose to set aside the divorce granted Oct. 15, IS9I, in the case of Yorke vs. Yorke, on the ground of fraud, because due legal notice had not been given to the de fendant, Mrs. Yorke. so she was unable to appear and defend the suit. A di vorce was chanted on the petition of the husband, who was formerly paymaster of the United States navy, charging his wife with desertion and adultery. The husband's attorney was M. A. Hildreth, of this city. The first thing Mrs. Yorke knew of the divorce being granted was through a dispatch from Farsro. Mr. Yorke married again about a week after the divorce was granted. Mrs. Yorke at once took steps to have the divorce set aside. Judge McConnell granted the petition to set aside the divorce. The lady Mr. Yorke married after the divorce and who is now de clared not to be Mia Lesal Wife is Countess de Zichlinsko, and is very wealthy. They have been living n3ar Bismarck. The grounds on which the charge of fraud is based are as follows: Attorney Mahnken, of Fargo, first commenced an action for a divorce on the part of Mr. Yorke two years ago, before Judge Rose at Jamestown, alleging desertion, and Mrs. Yorke's attorney, Sprague, of Philadelphia, filed an answer denying the allegations. This action never came to trial, and Mr. Yorke's attorney wrote Sprague that he would be notified before further action was taken. In June, 1890. Attorney Hildreth filed an order at Jamestown naming himself as Mr. Yorke's attorney instead of Mahn- Ken, and on the same day filed papers dismissing the suit. He then at once commenced another iiction before Judge McConnell, at Fargo, Alletfliiic Adultery as well. _as. desertion. In tiie former suit Mrs. Yorke's residence had been given as Jirya Mawr, Pa., and Sea Girt, IN. J., and thu name of her attor ney as Sprague, of Philadel phia. Notwithstanding these facts Hildreth hied an affidavit, alleging that Mrs. Yorke's residence was un known, upon which the court allowed service to be made by advertisement, which was done by publication in the Fargo bun, a small weekly paper of a few hundred circulation. Great care was taken to prevent the newspapers get ting knowledge of the case, the com plaint and affidavits being removed from the court hies by Hildreth. When the case came on for hearing the di vorce was granted, there beinsr no ap pearance on behalf of Mrs. Yorke. A few days after Mr. Yorke married again, and tlien papers in the case were re turned to the files. This is believed to be the hist case in the state where di vorce has been set aside after the par ties had married again. It is not yet known whether any action will be taken against Attorney Hildreth. THEY WKKK ALL GAY. Story Regarding Some of the Par- ties to the Case. Special to the Globe. Philadelphia, Nov. 19. — In 1872, Assistant Paymaster Louis A. Yorke, U. S. N., was stationed at Philadelphia, awaiting orders. lie resided at the Colonnade hotel, and was a conspicuous member of a rather gay s>et ot Philadel phia society bloods of that epoch, among them George F. Leland, after wards surveyor of the port of Philadel phia, under President Arthur; J. Bolton Uulme, noted as beinir the Adonis of the famous City troupe, a swell local cavalry company, and at one time en gaged to Lotta. the well-known sou brette; Richard 11. Townsend, who subsequently married the only daughter of William L. Scott, the Erie, Pa., millionaire; and a number of others of like conspicuous bloods. Yorke was a handsome, dashing officer of Southern birth, and created considerable havoc among the fair sex. At that time there was a certain noted "Bill" Whitney living In Philadelphia, married to one of the daughters of Smith, the well known Philadelphia brewer. Whitney was a rather wild son of a well known Philadelphian. His pal was the famous handsome John Tobin, since deceased, and they regu larly made the Quaker City howl when they cot started on the rounds. Madame Whitney was "neglected," and she found consolation in the society of the handsome paymaster. It was a case of mutual love at first sight, and when Mrs. Whitney secured a divorce they were married. Paymaster Yorke soon thereafter left Philadelphia on a three years' cruise on the United States sioop-of-war Yantic. He returned in 1875. He was separated from his blushing bride a short time after his return, and her family exerted their influence so successfully towards Yorke's undoing that he was either dis missed or resigned from the naval serv ice. H« met the lady whom be subse quently married, and they went to Bis marck," N. D., about two years ago. The news of Judge McCounell's -action in setting aside his divorce from Mrs. Yorke, nee Whitney, nee Smith, was received by the Smiths with unfeigned satisfaction, and they will probably leave no stone unturned to assure the ex-paymaster's further punishment. Further developments are awaited here with considerable curiosity. WHERE SHALL THEY KNIT? A Northfleld Company Talks of Coming to St. Paul. Special to the Globe.

Sage Counsel and S unl Ad vice by Citizens Wao Weigh Words. Loyalty and Confidence in the , City's Destiny Inspir ing- All. A very successful, thoush somewhat long-drawn-out affair, was the dinner given lust night by the Commercial club at its rooms to the executive committee of the Business Men's union. At the six tables laid out in the banquet hall were seated a large number ot the solid men and hustlers of St. Paul. At the elbows of the capitalists proper sat the trained handlers of men. money and machinery that make capital pro ductive of good to the community. And in every chair almost sat men who have made their mark in the wholesale or retail, the commercial or industrial fields of effort. At the main table, Btretehing the full length of the ball, sat President J. J. Corcoran, of the Commercial club, ami on his right and left respectively were Mayor Wright and (Joy. Merriam. El bowing the.se gentlemen on either side vyeie the distinguished guests of the evening and Commercial club mem bers, who were to respond to senti ments set forth on the back of the menu. Stretching away at right angles to the main table were five smaller ones, and around tnetn were grouped many of the men most promi nent and active in the business life ol St. Paul. There were merchants and bankers, jobbers and manufacturers, lawyers and a judge of the supreme court, editors and business managers, owners and agents, real estate boomers, and quiet men, whoso confidence in the prosperity and ultimate grandeur of tiie Queen City of the Northwest has never wavered for an instant. In fact this feeling ot deep loyalty to the city and its material interests was the under lying sentiment of the evening, ami was plainly the inspiring: factor in every one of the many admirable speeches made. It was a good-looking gathering, too, individually and collectively — with enough of youthful animation to nicely temper U»e dignity and reserve of the older heads. There was not an atom of stilted ceremony visible anywhere. Every one was there, apparently, to en joy himself and the good things set be fore him; to contribute his mite of honor to the men who have triven so much of their money, time and energy to the up building of St. l'uul in a substantial and tangible direction, and they were pres ent, withal, to evince an abiding faith in the real merits which underlie St. Paul's claim to immediate prosperity and future greatness. Increased usefulness to themselves, their neighbors, the common home, the state at large and the nation was the spirit animating the hearts and inspiring the counsel of the men who feasted not only on good viands, but on sound reason as well, at the Commercial club last night. And only good results can come from such a gathering with such a purpose. It was nearly '.) o'clock wjien Presi dent Corcoran, to the strains of an or chestra. led the way into the banquet ing hall. For something over an hour the wants of the inner man were prop erly and generously supplied, but that most enjoyable of social converse which is the best accompaniment of a well-ordered dinner was not neglected. The merry <juip, the neighborly greet ing, the passing jest, the courteous ex change of information and compliment, the revival of pleasant memories, re newal of old companionships, friend ships pledged anew, all these found pleasant expression and fruitful ground while the assembled company ably dis cussed and disposed of the following menu, served under the watchful eye of Secretary Danforth without a skip: Peerless »t.

President Corcoran read letters of regret from several prominent citizens who had been invited but were unable to at tend, • and then introduced. Major Wright, who delivered a brief ad dress of welcome. After rapidly sketching the" inception and organ ization of the Commercial club, his honor called attention to the fact that its main purpose is to foster and for ward the interests of St. rani, especially in the direction of local aid to home in dustry in all lines of trade. He drew the lesson that much good had been ac complished, that steady progress is be ing made in the desired direction, and that the possibilities ot the future are practically limitless. The mayor's wel come to the executive committee of the union was neat and haDpily worded, his short address be nig exceedingly well received. Gov. Merriam was warmly greeted when he arose to respond to the address of welcome. He was in good voice and excellent humor, and at times grew quite eloquent. Alluding to the work of the Business Men's union he enumer ated some. of the difficulties it has had to encounter, and in passing paid ear nest compliment to the work and worth of the Commercial club and similar ,bodies. In this age of rapid industrial advancement, said the - governor, the aesthetic has given way to k the, practical, and if we desire to NO. 025. be in accord with the spirit of the age in which we live we must be up ami doing. No laggard gait, in the Individ ual or the city, will suffice to keep in touch with the moving forces of mod ern life; no waiter on hidden opportu nities can hove t;> inan-h in the van of those who score tne most lasting suc cesses. The governor's effort cannot he properly treated in an emasculated, form, but his closing words were fraught with earnrstness, almost redo lent of prophecy, and created a deep impression. Jesse A. Gregg ably responded to tin* subject, "Encouragement of Home Man ufacturers," in the absence of W. li. Dean. The speaker pointed out very aptly some of the many ways by which manufacturers in other cities and in the East could be encouraged, then changed l the example and clearly defined some of the methods by which every man in St. Paul could aid and encourage and' develop the industries and the business of his own city. Mr. Gregg's speech was stromr, pointed and practical. — ol Hon. Albert Schell'er spoke of "The. Business Men's I'nion — Its Object?. Achievements and Future." While Mr I Scheffer's talk was largely tinged wit:', humor iiwassaturmated all thtoocbwitn the spirit of "get there," and from bid experience in behalf of the interests o£ this city he was able to give many valua ble suggestions and much sound advice, lie counseled untiring effort, nnflagj trim: zeal, unwavering determination ;». accomplish the ends aimed at, and tln-r•' could be no question of the command ing position of St. Paul as the years go by. L. K. Merrill cleverly handled "The Retailer's Duty." The best foot fore most at all times was his plea; better lighting of dingy stores; more tasty dis plays ofgoods; more of the optimistic spirit in talk and in work; more of hope and less »f growling; more working of opportunities and less waste of energy. Following these lines of thought,' the speaker took his bearers along wiili him, and was given generous commen dation when he closed. ('. \V. liackett told "How You Cm Help Is," witli especial reference to the work undertaken by the Business Men's union, (apt. Haekett's speech, was in the quiet, conversational vein, and he overlooked no point worthy at tention; he neglected no part of the theme. Everything was stated in a business-like way, and his suggestions, if adopted and followed, must be pro ductive of the best results. "What United Effort Can Do" was significantly set forth by T. A. Abbott. Using a map of the territory tributa ry to St. Paul as an object lesson, he devel oped an argument that cannot fail to find good roll in the mind ot every thinking man who listened to him. M. D. Muiin spoke ot ••The Creation of Public Sentiment." He treated i tie theme in a vigorous manner, taking the ground that St. Paul people had always been backward in asserting themselves; that they are too prone to take all the cuffs and slaps that may be given, with out attempt at retaliation. The num ber of employes in St. Paul shops, fac tories and manufactories, ' v ' said, could be doubled In a reasonable time it , proper steps were deeidiHl on and taken in good faith. In this connection he suggested an Industrial exhibit at the union depot, and a bureau of infor mation for the use and beuelit of visit ing stranuers. The fuel question also was touched upon, and Mr. Munn said he hoped to see the establishment, at no distant day, of a railroad thftt would haul it from lake ports to our city at cost price. E. S. Warner touched on the jobbing trade of the city, ami by a few signifi cant figures demonstrated its solid growth and encouraging increase year by year. Mr. Warn-i- nad mastered his subject thoroughly, and made his re marks not only Instructive but deeply interesting. "To what line of manufactures is St. Paul best adapted ?" was set down tot 1). D. Merrill, but he challenged any man to answer, at the start. \V«,o I Working and the boot and shoe indus tries might be named, he said, but there were so many other possibilities in the future of this yet undeveloped Northwest that it would be idle lor any man to attempt to enumerate on the lines suggested by the subject assigned him. Many practical liinTs were given by thespeakerand some well-considereil views expressed of the duty Incumbent upon all to develop the best that in iia lies in ail legitimate directions. E. Vanish etosed thespeechmakipg in a thoughtful ten-minute talk on "Loy alty to St. Paul." He approached the subject in n broad, liberal spirit, and dwelt earnestly on the need of everlasting confidence in the city and its resources, not only at home but abroad. The spirit of stead fastness should inspire all hope and strengthen every effort Knowing our gi'eat advantages, realizing the Impossi bility of hailing or turning b.ick. even if we would, forward should be the watchword, loyalty the moving power and success tUe goal.
