AN OBSERVER at Richfield Springs notes that the tennis players, especially the young men, appear in the gayest . and most highly colored garments im­ aginable.

CONGRESSMAN CULBERTSON'S trouble Tecalls the fact that in all the history of Congress suicide attaches alone to Kentucky. Elijah Hise, who was a can­ didate for re-election to. the House at the time, shot himself at home in a fit of despondency, and ex-Speaker of the House, John White, killed himself upon being accused of having "cribbed" the brilliant val£lictory which he delivered upon leaving the chair, and which the press and public had greatly praised. A PHILADELPHIA hotel clerk nays there is a queer class of travelers who are al­ ways expecting letters and telegrams, and yet have never been known to re­ ceive a single one. There is an import­ ant look about a fellow who steps up to the register and puts his name down, and then with a pompous air inquires: , •"Any letters for me?" He.knows as veil as the clerk does that he never ex­ pected any, but then it impresses the man behind the desk with the idea that lie has a great man under his roof. A SEAMSTRESS was arraigned in a 2sew Haven, New York, Court, last . week, on a charge of having stolen three gold coins from her employer. She blamed the theft on her babv. In order to find out the truth of her story, the baby, which was 11 months old, was brought into the court room, and the three coins were placed on the ta­ ble near its mother's chair. The baby looked at the coins for a moment, and then clutched them with a miser's oagerness, refusing to give them up. The seamstress was allowed to go. MOLTKE the Silent, as he is called, at $4 is the tall, slender, erect, with a sal­ low, beardless face, stony grey eyes, and yellow hair, wearing a cap and long military coat Unattended by oven a single servant he walks through the streets of Berlin slowly and noise­ lessly. Saluted by every soldier he meets, he returns the courtsey, but apparently without noticing to whom, and everywhere he retains ftxe cold, absorbed, mysterious manner which he did not allow to be broken even at Sedan. THE revival of drooping flowers o by an application of kerosene from an atomizer was unconsciously attempted by a lady at the Ocean View Hotel, Providence, R. I., the other day, with naturally bad results. It appears that a large stock of flowers and plants were on hand for decorating the ball- loom, and the lady undertook to sprink­ le them. She gave an atomizer to a bell-boy and requested him to fill it The boy, unacquainted with the use of the thing, mistook it for a lamp, and poured it full of kerosene. The lady had not sprinkled long before she de­ tected the offensive odor, but a large number of the plants were so saturated that they were useless for the purpose of the evening. H. C. PEDDER a few weeks ago was •widely paragraphed for his versatility. He was a leader in the great house of Arnold, Constable & Co., was a success­ ful business man, and to this was added great literary ability. He was one of the proprietors of the Manhattan, and also one of its leading contributors, and his articles on Booth and also on "Hamlet" was mentioned with great ap­ proval. He had also published a life of Grant, which was highly successful. Now, however, this wonderful man is only mentioned as a defaulter, and his literary life is probably one aspect of Lis turn for fraud. His life of Oen. Grant is supposed to be the work of some Bohemian, and was published at a loss. His article on Booth had proba- ° l>ly the same origin. While practicing literary fraud on the public, he was al­ so carrying on a financial fraud against Lis employers, and was at last detected. THE making of wood flour, which is similar to wood pulp, is the chief indus­ try in the Catskill Mountains, New York, and it bids fair to demoralize the forests. It was first manufactured in the Catskills about nine years ago, and now over twenty mills are in full blast Any soft-wood tree--poplar is the fa­ vorite--is felled and drawn to the mill. { The bark and boughs are removed, and the trunk put in a machine, which is nothing but a leadpencil sharpener on a large scale^ with lour or more knife- edges instead of one. On starting the machine the pencil sharpener revolves with great swiftness, and in a few min- 1 utes converts the log into a hundred miles of fine, clean shaving. These arc ground and bolted exactly as in a flout mill. The product is a soft, fine yel­ lowish white flour, similar in appear­ ance to a very well ground, corn meal. It possesses a slight woody smell, and it almost tasteless. It is put in large bags, and then is dispatched, unmarked, tc the buyer. Two GENTLEMEN entered a Ohicagc restaurant and set down at one of the tables. Presently one of them com menced sniffing, and said he observed a peculiar smell of fire. The other man sniffe I also, and agreed that there must be lire somewhere. Shortly afterward* both sailed down the street and were talking politics very earnestly, when suddenly they heard a hu'e and cry be­ hind them, and looking around observed a crowd of men and boys gesticulating at them and shouting, "Fire! Hi, mister, you're on fire!" One of them turneJ around and observed his coat-tails were in a blaze, whereupon he danced into the TuiJdle of the street, tore ofl his coat, and jumped upon it like a maniac performing a 1 breakdown. When he held up the smoldering gar­ ment and ruefully beheld it worse ofl for appendages than a bob-tail nag, he swore dreadfully at the half- smoked cigar that he had thrust into his pocket just before he entered the restaurant Then a fat red-faced police man came up and said, "Didn't you smell the fire?" "Yes, I did," was the reply, "but I thought it was some other fellow, and was sorry for him." "Well," remarked the officer as he mopped his face with a fac simile of Thurman's red bandanna, -"guess, young fellow, it's hot enough without settin' yourself afire and walking through the streets like a lost lomet" AN old man sat yesterday in a chair in the New York Ophthalmic Hospital, say The New York Mail and Express. Few men would have known him, and nothing in his personal appearance would have indicated that he was 71 years old. His clothing was not only neat, but it was that of extreme neat­ ness and of a man habitually neat. His gray beard swept with the wind, which seemed to come cool through tlie win­ dows without bringing the hot air with it Had he died in 18G0 the newspa­ pers would lia*e given as much space and attention to him as they would to Gen. Grant should he die to-day. This man, dropped out of sight for twenty years, was the editor and owner of Gra­ ham's Magazine, which, in the days when it was known, was, by long odds, the most popular periodical in the country. George Rex Graham, whose writing was wonderfully good, and whose magazine was afc one time read by the whole country, is blind. Double cataracts have covercd his eyes for three years, and while it is almost cer­ tain that he will again be able to Bee, his physical condition has not been such that the needed operation could be performed without danger of a shock. He was the companion nearly half a century ago of the men who are now, as they were then, famous in lit­ erary life, and to a great extent he brought such men as Poe, for instance, into sight. He made a magazine whose popularity has probably never been equaled, although the literature was something that nowhere would be re­ ceived to-day. The St. John's Region, Florida. The scenery of the St. John s region is peculiar. As the northern tourist passes through the country he is greeted by something new and strange at every step. The only things which are uniform and monotonous are the long gray moss, which drapes the gnarled arms of the oaks and cypress, giving to the woodlands a wild and weired appearance; and the intermina­ ble stretches of scrub palmetto whiah, by the way, give to the waters of most of the rivers their peculiar coffee-color. I ought, perh >ps, to add to this the universal prevalence of a sau y soil, which makes of pedestrianism a weary toil, and renders carriage-riding disa­ greeable in the extreme. The flora is abundant and varied in its seasons, ranging from the prettiest little pim- pernell and the flaunting hibiscus in tho low grounds, to the flaming trumpet flowers, blazing oleanders, and dazzling magnolias of the hammock lands. A Florida swamp is a sight to see for oue who has been accustomed to the tame woodlands of the north, great stretches of pine woods and widespread savan­ nahs greet one traveling inland; yet even in these the stranger meets with a continued variety of objects which attract his attention and occupy his thoughts. Song-birds are not so numer­ ous as one would expect in so wild a region, the liquid-voiced mocking-bird ranking as the feathered prima donnn. Her notes are indeed wonderfully sweet, and go far to make up for the void left by the silence of other and far handsomer birds. I have seen thous­ ands of our northern robins in the thickets along the banks of the St. John's in the winter time; but they did not sing a note,--they were down here, apparently, merely to get away from the cold weather, and did not propose to do anything more than eat and grow fat Like the bob-o-links in the Po- tomic marshes they seemed to consider the .musical season closed, and were anxious only to recuperate for the "grand spring opening" in the north­ ern orchards. A Direct Insult. Judge--"You say that the prisoner in­ sulted you. That is a very serious charge. What did Le say to you, madam ?" Plaintiff--"He called me a spring ehicken. And I am an old woman, as your Honor can easily see." Judge--"That is not an insult. A spring chicken is young and tender. I should consider it a compliment rather." Plaintiff--"You wouldn't if you were in the same business I am." Judge--"What is that ?" Plaintiff--"I keep a boarding house." THE WITTIEST YET. Address of Mr. J. P. Dolliver On Taking the Chair in the Iowa Convention. Annual "Elegy of Grief" for the Hawk- •ye Democrats--An Eminent Maa,. Who Is Bead and Doesn't • Know Ik Oomdwices with Alum in "Em--Tight Pants and Hay-Fever--Deserting ft Learned Profession to Be- • come a Hangman. [From the Chicago Tribune.] Below are liberal extracts from a speech of noticeable merit which was delivered in the Republican convention of Iowa last week, which is attracting much attention. The speaker, Mr, J. P. Dolliver, is a young man of 26, who was notified of his selec­ tion as Temporary Chairman only a few minutes before he was called to the chair. It was delivered with such telling effect that it carried the convention by storm. It is filled with effective shots. Sir. Dolliver has rapidly developed great popularity as a speaker, and is now recognized in Iowa as the leader of the young Republicans. He has been invited to go into the national campaign, and in a few days will take the stump in West Virginia and later in the canvass will speak in Ohio anil Indiana: Gentlemen of the Iowa Republican Convention: Out of the abundance of my heart I thank yon for the honor which yeur favor has conferred upon me. It builds up a man's political consti­ tution to take a front view of the fighting strength of the Republican party of Iowa. If any of you have friends that are bothered with political dyspepsia, who find trouble in selecting irom the "printed bill of fare of Republican politics, I advise you to bring them here and let them look in the iace of this magnificent assem­ bly. Your conventions have always l>een de­ liberative, your nominations representative, your campaigns popular, and your ballot-boxes too full for utterance* ot straight Republican tickets. Consequently, a Democrat has not been seen on the streets of an Iowa city after9 o'clock on election night lor a quarter of a century. The music of the telegraph ottice lias been their annual elegy of grief. They look upon a bulle­ tin-board as an enemy of free government, and accept the first half of Franklin's maxim, "early to bed," when the returns are coming in. DEMOCRATIC BANKRUPTCY. The first act of the Democratic party Is to file a schedule in bankruptcy. Already their prop­ erty is out of their own name. Their national standard is in the hande of a man whose name is not disclosed by tiie Democratic national record. Four years "ago his name could have prudently been used as an alias under w hich to travel incognito all over the known world out­ side of Buffalo. To elect him l'resident would be like lendinc money to a stranger on the train. It takes the cheek of the Democratic managers to play the whole American people for suckcrs. I thaiik God that we belomr to a party that saves the crown of its public honor lor the brow of its actual leadership. With the Demo­ cratic party nominations are made not so much to represent the party as to disguise it. In its long struggle for existence the men who have made the history of tlie party go to the wall. It Is the only party that ever existed whose candi­ dates and platform never throw any liiiht what­ ever either on its management or its faith. In fact, modern Democrats of the practical school have no creed except the oath of ottice. All the important Democratic principles : re unlit for use. They have been lett out in the held just where they wero used last, with not even a bunch of swamp grass thrown over them--in sun and rain, until rot and rust have dona their fatal work. It is true they talk piously of the need of re­ form, and with an inexcusable liliel accuse the integrity of the Republican civil service. They work their favorite classical allusion to the Au­ gean stables for all tliere is in it. These, they assert, must be cleaned out. Yet from the gen­ eral appearance of the crowd that is on hand to do the business, the average citizen is likely to conclude that their intention is to steal the fork rather than clean out the bran. It is true they pre-empt all sides of the tariff question. They profess to settle that issue by a jargon of words without precedent in the an­ nals of nonsense and confusion. You might as well try to fit the hundred-headed dog of the ancient fable with a straw hat as to place a can- tlid and intelligible tariff platform under the feet of the Democratic party. They apiiroach that question and nearly every other like a man emptying hard-coal as lies in a high wind, with their eyes shut and their backs to the subject. AN "EMINENT DEMOCRAT." What must be the thoughts of a man like Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks as he sits in his law ottice and looks at the top shelf ot his library, and counts the long row of dusty C'vur/rexxional Ulobrs from I860 to Ihhh, from the fugitive slave law to the resumption of specie payments? Dean Swilt used to say that censure is a tax a man pays to the public for being eminent. It is not the fault of Mr. Hendricks that the Con­ gressional record connects him with all the blunders and treasons of recent politics. It is the tax a man pays to his gener tion for the luxury of having been an eminent Democrat. Victor Hugo, somewhere in the masterpiece of prose fiction, relates a singular dream of Jean Valjean, in which the unfortunate man is car­ ried back m his vision to the streets of his native village, and there, in the midst of the gloom and ashes and dust of things, inter­ viewed by a gentleman, who so)emnly asks him: "Where are you going .' Do you not know you have been dead a long time?" I have sometimes thought that if Mr. Hendricks could once get himself enlightened by an appropriate vision and wander back in his dreams to the familiar scenes of his public career, he would need no assistance to enable him to hear more than one voice solemnly asking the same questions: "Where are you going? Do you not know you have been dead a long timeV" THE FUAUL) ISSUE. Mr. Hendricks is placed upon the Democratic ticket--not to recall the history of the Demo­ cratic party. No thoughtful Democrat wants that remembered. He is on the ticket for the avowed purpose of reviving the superstition t-hat surrounds the electoral count of 1877. With characteristic stupidity the Democratic man­ agers still think that the American people have never slept well since that celebrated question of mathematics was up for settlement. They seem to be afflicted with a sort of intellectual sh.ftlyssness that keeps them from the nntler- staudinsf that the fraud issue died at Cincinnati in 18so by the hand ol Thomas A. Hendricks. The indictment of an alleged 'momentous out­ rage cannot be dismissed tor want of prosecu­ tion and the papers in the case left under the dust of cinht years without losing interest to the traveling public. With all due respect to Col. Vil s. of Wisconsin, I say the statute of limita­ tions does run. The descendants of Cleopatra might as well bring suit against the estate of Mark Antony as for the Democratic managers to jarnde the venerable gentlemen who were caught between the wheels of the Electoral Commission. In truth, the American people,remembering the long years of political rapine that have given the South to t(ie Democratic party, and finding Mr. Tilden mid Mr. Hendricks the immediate and responsible beneficiaries of these years of felony against the ballot-box in the South, have never, to any visible decree, bewailed their memorable failure to catch the rail of the hind car in 1H77. • For one I thank the Democratic party for the fraud issue. Miserable and useless in itself, it affords the country a proper occasion to recall that Strang decade from to ix7tl, during which the Demoe atic p:<rty, upon the ruins of the re­ bellion, contrived their infamous conspiracy against the civil rights of the people that in ten States has left the baliot-box a fraud and the election-day a farce. Labonlaye, the great French Liberal, now dead, just after the civil war 111 the United States, took occasion to say that "the Republican party of America holds in its hands the futur • of civilization." That was trueth:n. It is true now. It is more certain that the Republican party shall have a future than that it has had a history. THE Kit KE15S. Now and then you tind a R publican who en­ joys the momentary im)K»rtanec that belongs to the kicker and the scrateher. The shortest road to celebrit.v nowadays is to advertise your con­ science in the newspapers There are Republi­ cans who treat their conscience as if it were the stock in trade of a baking-jiowder lactrry. They sol°mnlv protest that everybody's con­ science lias alum in it except theirs. They adopt the doctrine ofpJla it hew Arnold and in­ sist that in order to be safe the nation must furnish the remnant with complimentary tick­ ets and a iront scat. They would have the country govern itself by tiie advice of persons whose names, if 1 may borrow a phrase trom your good friend Gov. Carpenter, arc written in the lierd-l>',ok of hign political srrades. Only last inoir.h a convention was held in a New York parlor, in which the only credentials called for by the oommitt. -e were a written pre­ tense of holiness, and the only creed required of the membership "i believe in the com­ munion of the »»in'r. of IVacoti Hill -ind Frank­ lin K';c.-ire " Let t!."m commune. I trust they will stick together till they tret thoroughly ac­ quainted with eac'a other. I have a curiosity to see tiie effect of a genuine Democratic candidate on an ujx-sua ly »anetitiod nostril. This cam­ paign w:!l last long enough to show to every sensible man's «ye that no possible combination of tiuiit pauts ai:d hay fever can dot eat the anxious will of the real conscience of this coun­ try--the Republican millions of Amcrica. UNDER 'i!IE JSOOTS OF THE HAIli. The people of this countrv like brains--nerv­ ous matter under the roots of the hair. In James G. Klalne they tind a man the s:;opc of whose faculties is a perfect horizon-- a man who knows the size of this na­ tion -a man who knows the history of this nation--* man who knows the strength of this ra'ion--* man who know s tho righ's of this nation--a limn who comprehends with a Hvrene faith the mission of the Republic and its sublime destiny in the midst of the na­ tion* and the ages. Not in vain has this great State--correct *.n -its opinion, upright in its con* seienee--laid at Uie feet of Blaine the royal trib- ute of its affection. He fiandi to-day, at the very opening of the campaign,at onoe a standard- Jjwrer and a victor. MrCieveland, aa hi* letter this morning inform* as. betteres in Providence, •ad has toe grace to say in his opinion, "the Supreme Being will Alwtyi bless honest hutua endeavors in the conscientious discharge of pub­ lic duty." Iowa believed that before Mr. Cleve­ land thought of such a thing. God's providence. ** «vrUin. never identified the name# of liiaine and Logan in eternal reputation with the most splendid pages of American history-- the one as a statesman, the other as a soldier- only to see them defeated by a person who at the age of 34 deserted a learned profession to become the hangman of a back countv in New iork. SENATOR BEN HARRISON. His Address Formally Opening the Hoosier Campaign s! Indianapolis. The Speech an Eloquent and For­ cible Presentation of the Party Issues. A Demonstration Excelling in Magnitude Anything Seen in Indiana for Years.' - .' ~ tlndianapolls spoolill ' Senator Benjamin Harrison formally opened the campaign in Indiana in a speech at the Park Theater, which was heard by 2,000 peoDle. it was made the occasion of a Republican demon­ stration of great magnitude, surpassing any­ thing of the kind witnessed here since 1880. A torchlight procession, composed princioally of Plumed Knights of Columbia and Blaine and Logan Guards, bearing aloft banners and transparencies, and headed by martial bands, preceded the meeting and escort^l the speaker to the theater. There were 4,000 uniformed men in line, and the procession was nine squares in length. All the available space in the theater was tilled before the arrival of the clubs, who were unable to gain admission. Chairman New, of the Republican State Cen­ tral Committee, opened the meeting by intro­ ducing Gov. A. G. Porter as presiding officer, and naming a score of Vice Presidents. The Governor put the crowd in excellent humor bv some happy allusions to the Presidential can­ didate, which evoked great enthusiasm. After a song by the Central Rlane and Logan Glee Club there were three cheers for Blaine and three for Logan too. Senator Hariison was in­ troduced. His si>eech was a studied effort, de­ livered in the best style, and holding the atten­ tion of the hearers for an hour and three-quar­ ters. The meeting closed with a song, "We'll Stand by Garfield's Friend." The demonstra­ tion was a surprise to the Democrats in its pro­ portions. Senator Harrison began his address by quot­ ing George W. Curtis' famous epigrammatic description of the Democratic partv-- the hun­ gry, thirsty, unprincipled, cowardly party, "which fell from power as a conspiracy against linman rights and now attempts to sneak back to power as a conspiracy for plunder and spoils." The Democrats now had generally a high opinion of Curtis'sagacity--an opmon not resting so much on this quoted speecha» on the fact that Mr. Curtis had now become an active associate in the "conspiracy for plunder and spoils." It had not been showed that Mr. Cur­ tis iiad changed his opinion of the Democratic party. Mr. Curtis and his associates had seem­ ingly concluded that public morality would be advanced by giving the Government to a party with no higher aim than "plunder and spoils." These Independents, in their platform, saidthey were proud of the great record and sen-ices of the Republican party. He hoped they would not make the mistake of supi>osing that all virtue went out of the partv wheu thev opened the door, or that the other party would cease to be a "conspiracy for plunder and si oils" by reason of the sanctifying jHjwer of their presence, 'l'lici e was not one of these Independ­ ents who did not know, who had* not in sub­ stance said, that the Republican party was in­ stinctively on the right side--the moral side--of public questions. There was not one of them who did not know, who had not in sub-t'ance said, that the'Democratic party had an infallible instinct for the wroug aide--the immoral side-- of public questions. These Cleveland Republi­ cans affected to have discovered, since they made up their minds to support Mr. Cleveland, that the Democratic and Republican parties do not essentially differ upon questions of public policy. Mr. Curtis, Mr. Schurz, and many ot their associates were understood to be civil- service reformers. Were they willing to have their sincerity judged by a comparison of the two platforms on the subject of civil service? The speaker here read the civil-service para­ graphs in each platform--that of the Demo­ cratic party consisting only of six words-- and commented on the two declarations. The one was a full, frank indorsement of the exist­ ing civil-service law; the other was evasive and incomplete, and would not be crossed by a re­ peal ot the pr< sont statutes."!'Senator Voorhees had denounced the new civil-service law and had voted aaainst it ir. the Senate. Mr. Hen­ dricks. fresh from the convention, had declared, in substance, that he knew of no way of testing the honesty of the present incumbents of the offices except by turning them out and putting in Democrats. He was sure that at least iiO.OOu should go at once. Every- clvil-servlce re­ former in the countrv knew that this reform which had made such cheering progress would be turned back to its spring and the spring sealed up if the men who framed the Demo­ cratic platform at Chicago came into power. If civil-service reform was a minor issue, then those who magnified it should sav so; but they could not part company with the Republican partv on the pretense that there was no issue between the parties on tin; subject. The speaker then contrasted the records, prin­ ciples, purposes, and methods of the two par­ ties, and incidentally excoriated Mr. Schurz for some of his recent utterances. He then went on to discuss the tariff, and gave a brief history of the rise, progress, and death of the Morrison bill. The weight of opinion in the Democratic party was for "a tariff for revenue only"--one in the framing of which no account should be taken of its effect on American industries and Ami rican workmen. The Republican party heid to the doctrine that in fixing tariff rates the cfl'cct of the rate pri,po->ed upon American Industries and upon the wages of American workmen should lie carefully considered. But the incapacity of a Democratic House of Representatives, continued the speaker, did not exhaust itself in ilie attempted tariff legisla­ tion. The building of a navy--for we have practically no navy---was another question (hat uncovered the utter lack of capacity, patriot­ ism, or statesmanship of a Demo; ratio House of Representatives It is one that involves not only the national honor and influence, but the satety of onr seaboard cities. The highest mili­ tary and naval authorities of the country have asiain and again in official reports to Congress declared that we are without a navy, and that our aeacoast defenses are not worthy of the name. We have no guns for our ships, none for our coast tortifications. We have one tirst-cla^s wooilen ship of war--the Tennessee--but she is ID akin IR her last cruise. A law of Congress pro­ vides that when the repairs of a wooden vessel shall e iual 30 per cent, ot her value she shall b'\ sold or broken up. We have eleven wooden vessels of- the second class, and live ot them will not again lie re­ paired. The utter helple-sness and naked­ ness of our country in the matter of ships and coast defenses is conceded by every American and known in.every foreign court. It is a sub­ ject ot amazement and mortification that, with abundant resources, this nation should consent to cc upy so contemptible a position among the maritime nations of the world. There is more ttian i ne South American Government that has a navy with which ours couid not cope. It has liee.i said upon the highest authority that Chili has armored ships that could sail into the har­ bor ot San Francisco and put that great city under contribution at i leasure. The speaker w >nt on to show how the attempts of the Re­ publican partv tending towaid the beginning o" the ( onstruction of a navy had been frustrated by Democratic action, and pointed out the ab­ surdity ot the position taken by Mr. Voorhees --that we should immediately build a mighty navy that could defy the world or else continue as unprotected as we are. Turning to the question of pensions the speaker recount -d the history of ti e Mexican l>ension bill, in March last a committee repre­ senting •>-.ti.0:i0 veteran soldiers and sailors had appeared Ix'fore the Pension Committee of the f-enate, and fully set forth their ideas on the subject. The Mexican pension bill having passed the nouse, came to the Senate, where it was favorably reported, with some amendments relating strictly to Mexican war pensions. The speikcr read the bid as it was finally amended and passed bv Republican Senators. He him­ self had introduced a bill in February, which cmb.-idicd the principal features ot the Senate amendments. The bill, thus amended, w»s re­ turned to the House in June, and notwithstand­ ing all the efforts of its friends and the fact that tlieie was abundant time for its consideration, every attempt to put it on its passage was re­ sisted almost to the line of filibustering, and it failed to pass the House. After some comment on the electoral count and other measures, the speaker went on to S|«.ik on the records of the Presidential nomi­ nees. He briefly sketched the careers <>f Cleve­ land and Hendricks, and them e'o'iuently sketched the lives and life-work of Blaine and Lo-'.'iu. Mr. Blaine was not chosen for the ob- scm ity of his record, but because he had in all the sharp contests ot the la^t twenty-five years, by speech and vote, made a reeord which his fellow-citizens approved. Like Garlield. he had advocated and illustrated the principles of his I partv, and its history could be read in his j ub- lic utt'-rance.s. Place him in the midst of the most notable assemblies of the world, and he will be a conspicuous figure. Mr. Harper, of l!ari,er'.« UVf<W//, said of him not long ago: "There is no man now living more closely In svinnathv with the people than Mr. Blaine." Having sketched Mr. Blaine's foreign policy, I the speaker paid an eloquent tribute to the ] dauntless courage, unsullie l honor, and mill- ; tary genius of John A. Logan, and to the strong I hold he liatl upon the affection tit his soldier comrades and upon thi^te^pect of his country­ men. - SgC GEN. LOGAN. Welcomed to His Home by Xoreihsa a Hundred Thousand " Citisens. Magnificent Tribute to the fee- fttblican Candidate for Yfee ' * President. [From the Chicago Daily New*, Independent.] The reception given Gen. John A. Logan by the Republicans ot Chicago Saturday evening was remarkably successful in all its features. It was an auspicious opening of the Republican campaign in Illinois. A committee of more than one hundred prominent gentlemen, under the direction of Gen. O. L. Mann, met Gen. Lo­ gan at Pullman about 6 o'clock. Gen. Logan had reached that city with Gen. Torrence from the residence of Mr. Kdward Hendricks, ot Wildwood, a few moments before. Gov. Ham­ ilton made a short address of welcome to Gen. Logan upon the arrival of the Chicago party, after which a few of the gentlemen sat down to dinner with their guest at the Hotel Florence. After the meal a train bore the partv to the Twenty-second street depot, which was reached at 8 o'clock. Here Gen. Logan and a portion of the committee left the train and entered car­ riages which bore them to Lake Park. They were met at Twenty-second street bv thousands of men and boys in uniform and with torches, composing the manv marching clubs of the city and surrounding towns. Es­ corted by this glittering procession, the dis­ tinguished guest and the committee proceeded slowly up Michigan avenue. The sides of this thoroughfare were solidly packed pith people In Lake Park a throng of :<0,00i> or more people had gathered about the platform Impatiently awaiting the arrival of the guest of the evening. Cannon and skyrockets were being touched off every instant, but they did not appear particu­ larly interesting to the waiting people. D. W. Mnnn and P. T. Barrv made speeches to lilHn the time. While the latter gentleman still occupied the stand and struggled to make himself heard above the uproar, the procession arrived at the park. It was about 10 o'clock when Gen. Logan was assisted to mount the platform, and the crowd broke forth in cheers at the sight of him. Col James A. Sexton called the crowd to order. Judge Carv then made an address of weloome to the guest, after which Gen. Logan came to the front and was received with great applause. He delivered a very long address, reading from manuscript by the light of two or three flickering torchlights. His voice was full and strong, but not half the tremendous throng could get near enough to hear what he said. In his speech he discussed at length the main political questions of the day. Speaking of the comparative honesty of the two parties he said: In all the reforms of the civil service which have been instituted by the Republican party, opjHtsition has ever been shown by a great por­ tion of the Democracy; and. with all their pro­ fessions for a reform of the civil service, we tind their candidate for Vice President--a gentleman from whom the people ought to have expected better things--declaring in a speech made by him July l-j, 1SS4, and since his nomination, that the only remedy for dishonesty of administra­ tion in the Government is to turn out the l'jo.ooo Republican officeholders and supply their places --1 suppose he means--with "honest" Democrats. The basis of this declaration of Gov. Hendricks is t hat 0 ) has been lost in one branch of the Navv Department, and therefore he charges the whole Republican jmrtv--the millions of, men constituting it--with wholesale dishonesty! It will not profit Gov. Hendricks if he chal­ lenges comparison of administration as between the Republican anil Democratic parties. We need only call his attention to the many millions of dollars of defalcations by public officers under Democratic administrations-- of which Gov. Hendricks certainly must have information. Or we might mention to him the suggestive fact, also of record, that while the losses under Dem­ ocratic administrations prior to 18i>i averaged $•">.17 on every fl.ono collected and disbursed by them, the average losses on every #1,000 collected and disbursed by Republican administrations since the Democracy lost power have been only cents; ami the loss on every $1,000 has de­ creased under Republican administrations un­ til it has reached less than 1 cent in>r #1,0U0. On the subject of the currency he said: Under the system of currency established by the Republican party, covering equally all parts of the Union, the evils heretofore experienced under the Democratic system have entirely dis­ appeared. The perpetuation of this admirable system of currency Is a matter that greatly con­ cerns the public, and in order that it mav be up­ held and continued it should (JO left in t he hands of its friends rather than committed to its enemies. It cannot be truthfully denied that the opponents of tho Republican party fiercely opposed this system in the outset, and have never since shown any friendship for it. Hence it is not unfair to assume that, were they in­ trusted with power, they would devise some means by which its destruction would soon be accomplished. The s|>eaker said of the tariff: The history of the Democratic party during its continuance in power and up to the present time on tiie subject of the tariff is full of sug­ gestions of danger. The theory ot the Demo­ cratic party that the msrket price of products ot this county should be governed by the cost of like products in other countries must inevi­ tably bring us to the conclusion that, were that party to come into power, it would be only a question of time when the business of manu­ facturing in this country must come to nn end. In other words, the Democratic proposition is that the American manufacturer and laborer shall be put in ruinous competition with the foreign manufacturer and the underpaid pauper laborer. Since President Lincoln was inaug­ urated in lHiil, and the American protective- tariff system adopted by the Republican party, the country has elevelojied in prosperity and wealth until the aggregated value of all the property of flic United States and Territories has readied the enormous stimof $44,000,000,000, an increase of $:JO,OIH),OOO,OOO in twenty years un­ der the Republican-American tariff' policy, as contradistinguished from the English-Demo­ cratic 'tree trade" or "tariff-tor-revenue" policy. In answer to the charge that commerce had suffered greatly since the war. Gen. Logan said that the export trade of the nation had aggre­ gated over one-third more under Republican rule than its entire volume during the previous life of the republic and of the colonies that pre­ ceded it. Summing up the matter of the tariff he said: Under the Republican party's American pro­ tective system agricultural products are higher, while manufactures and fuel are :so percent, lower. Labor is i!5 per cent, higher, and what the laborer purchases of manufactured articles is '25 per cent, lower. Our annual accumulated wealth under our Amerie-an protective system amounts to :t5 per cent, of the profits of the whole world. England is anxious to-day, more than any other nation, for the success of the Democratic party,~because with that party as­ cendant stie knows that our ports would be practically oi>en to free trade, which would enable her to supply our enormous home mar­ kets and destroy our prosperous manufactures at one and the same fell blow. But It is said tliere must be a reduction ot the present pro­ tective tariff because it produces a great surplus of revenue. Tliere are various ways, however, by which, if it is necessary, that surplus can be reduced. Certainly we have a great national debt to pay. That is one way in which tills sur­ plus can In part be disposed of. while a portion of it should be used for improving our navy, and a portion might well be used for e-eiucational purposes. W e can reduce that revenue surplus also, if it is advisable, by reducing our internal revenue tax. After declaring that i>olygamy must be sup­ pressed and a free ballot and a fair count se­ e-up d for the Southern States, Gen. Logan con­ clude! his address as follows: It' the people ot this country want a man to guide this nation in the direction of peace, prosperity, and happiness; if they want the man who has been faithful to Ids country in the time of its trials: the man who stouel by it loy­ ally through all Its misfortunes and adversities; the man who has grown in wisdom drawn trom a vast experience; the man who is known in diplomacy and statecraft wherever our flag floats or the name of our country is mentioned; the man of generous heart as well as brilliant intellect: the man in whose hands every Ameri­ can interest will be absolutely #afe ahel unde­ niably secure--this man, my fellow-citizens, the I>eople will tind in the nominee of the Republi­ can party for President of the Uniteil States-- the Hon. James G. Blaine. The address was frequently applauded. At its close the Hon. Clark E. Carr, of Galesburg. paid an eloquent tribute to the character and public services of Oen. Logan. He also spoke in high terms of Blaine and Oglesby. Ex-Gov. Oglesby followed him with a speech, in which he said it was nonsense for the Democrats to think that thi y could carry Illinois at the com­ ing election. The crowd received the speech with great favor, and applauded it heartily. Xe r the close of it Gen. Oglesby said: This great outpouring, this majestic display-- the fir.-t of the campaign of lust of any of the States of the Union--will mark an epoch in the history of your city, as it will in our State, of unustial significance and unusual dignity. And it will do another thing. It will send a pang--a deep, long, lasting pang -through every candi­ date on the Democratic ticket in every State of the Union. And if any candidate has any idle dream in his head that he is going to be elected in this State to any big office this demonstra­ tion to-night will cook that goose. Senator Cullom and Gov. Hamilton also made short speeches. The meeting broke up about midnight with a display of fireworks and a rouuU oi cheers for the Republican candidate. something of a judicial spirit the character of the issues that will be settled at the coming election, then will be a general feeling of thank­ fulness to Irish-Americans for the position- they have taken in opposing Cleveland an 1 his free- trade supporters. ' MWEEBTEY'S CAS% DsnToorhees' Falte Statements--SfisSf#**- nejr Had Ceased to Bo an American Citi­ zen and Become a British Subject. [Washington dispatch.] The Democratic Congressional Committee makes the speech of Daniel Voorhees upon the case of Daniel McSweeney, one of the Irish sus­ pects imprisoned in Ireland, its principal cam­ paign document. A very o reful examination of the files of the State Department and of the tor- respondence which passed between James Rus­ sell Lowell, Minister to England, the Biitish l oreign Ottice, ftur State Department, and Mc­ Sweeney himself, shows very clearly that the Democrats base their attacks upon the foreign policy of Mr. Blaine upon an entirely false as­ sumption. It is susceptible of proof, and is proved by McSweeney's own admission, that he was not an American citizen. The correspond­ ence shows the following facts: It appears that when McSweeney was arrested he had been living in Ireland five years; tbat his family and all his interests were there: that he was an officeholder there; that he took part in political discussions, and that he regarded himself as a citizen of Ireland, except so far as he might use his alleged American citizenship for personal protection; that within three days after his arrest was known to the American Consul at Belfast his case was spread by Mr. Lowell before Lord Granville in London; that thereafter a continued correspondence was kept up regarding him, the American side of the case being weakened by the palpable fact that he considered himself to all intents and purposes a permanent resident of Ireland and by his excessively bad temper; that he was offered his liberty on condition of his returning to America, but refused it liecause he consid­ ered America 110 longer his home; that his ar­ rest and treatment corresponded precisely with the arrest and treatment of British subjects dnring the war of the rebellion by the Govern­ ment of the United States; that,if living, he is still a resident ot Ireland, and intends so to re­ main till the day of his death. The conclusion of McSweeney's case, with other facts about tlie disturber, will be found in the following letter of Sir. Frellnghuysen to Mr. Lowell, dated April 2r>, 18-ej; Mr. McSweeney was naturalized many yean since and resided in San Francisco, engaged in the catt e trade. About six years ago be re­ turned with his family to Ireland and purchased some pre pert y there. For the last six years he lias been residing there, and it is understood that he is holding ortice as a poor law guardian, with an apparent pur] ose of remaining in Ire­ land. He is a gentleman of influence, and ap­ pears to have taken part in the troubles which are now agitating Ireland. He says that his action has been that of a peaceable citizen and within the line of the law. The British authritles maintain that they have a good right to suspect him of inciting persons unlawfully to assemble toget her to commit riot and assault. It is under- stooil that tho British authorities are ready to release him if lie will leave Ireland. The l'resi­ dent has carefully considered the case also. A\ hen a naturalized citizen resumes his resi­ dence with Ills family in the land of his origin and goes into business there, anel becomes an officeholder and takes active part in political discus-ions, if it turns out that his action gives offense to the local Government and he is thrown into prison, the laws and interests of the United States eie) not require us to do more than to in­ sist that he shall have a right to return to the 'country of his adoption, leaving the question of damages for further discussion. OtfiWE RUN. Irishmen in America. ITrom the Cincinnati Celtic-American.] From the first day the Republic came into ex­ istence, Irish-Americans have, in a thousand different ways, proved their devotion to it. From Bunker Hill down to Appomattox there has not been an American battle-field that has not oe' n watered with Irish blood. Great as J have been the services rendered in the past by j the Irish-Ameri. ans to the Republic, greater still are the services they are rendering to it at this moment bv refusing to help the Dcmorratic partv and the Independent Republicans in the i woik of reducing the United States to a state of ind 1 strial dependence on England. We feel I confident that when the smoke of the present 1 political battle will have rolled away, and when j tt» American people will have examined with The WwtftreBtt-atle llank and File1*wtt«r*t- Ised, and the Leaders Unable to Rally Them. The Washington correspondent of the New York Sun, ellscussing the Democratic canvass and the serious difficulties in its way, says: The men who are managing the Democratic can­ vass agreed some time ago that it would tie best to have a short canvass, and to cram into a few weeks the work that usually extends through two or three months. Circumstances, however, may compel the committee to begin the active work of the canvass almost immediately. In spite of the enthusiastic assertions to the con­ trary. the committee is not receiving encourag­ ing reports. The indifference that followed the nomination of Cleveland in many sections where it was believed the ticket would be re- eeivedwith some enthusiasm threatens to be­ come open elisaffectiein. The committee is sur­ prised anel somewhat alarmed. It is needful that something lie done, and that right away, to check this threatened demoralization, if it does not get so strong as to lie uncon­ trollable. Some of the delegates to the Chicago convention who voted for Cleveland have already expressed doubts about the wisdom of the nomination. They have done so because they have had opportunity to see the Indifference and disaffection that exist. Aside from tlie fact that a dangerous defection is cer­ tain in New York City, and the support of Tam­ many will be at best perfunctory, word comes from Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia, and Ohio that proves that time is aggravating rather than healing the trouble. What the com­ mittee can do to clic k it is a very serious prob­ lem. It Is very embarrassing for the managers to be told, as they have been over and over again, that there are many Democrats who regarel defeat as better than victory, because they believe that if Cleveland Is elected he will lie under such obligations to the Independent Republicans and Blaine bolters that he will be obliged to recognize them, thus surely bringing on demoralization in the party. The committee realizes that It will not do to wait a (lav, and now that Mr. Cleveland's letter is made public, active, though perhaps not very public, canvassing will begin. The moBt vigor­ ous measures will be taken to counteract the tendency that is no longer denied of many who have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket to go to Butler. The National Committee now finds itself con­ fronted with tlie suspicion that the nomination of Cleveland may have been the final and worst mistake of the year, and with the fear that un­ controllable demoralization will seize the party in some sections before election-day unless active, intelligent, ami untiring measures are taken at once to prevent it. A SCATHING ARRAIGNMENT. An Old-Tlme Democratic Journalist De­ nounces Cleveland. [Pittsburgh special.] The Sunifay Globe ot this city was the first paper in the State to demand the nomination cf Gov. Cleveland by the Democratic National Convention. This afternoon its editor and pro­ prietor, James G. Breen, caused to be published a card in which he denounces Cleveland, and declares his intention of supporting Butler. In announcing his change of front, Mr. Breen says: "Please say to your readers that there is at least one citizen who voted for MeC'iellan, Seymour, Horace Greeley, and Hancock who cannot vote in November for a caneiidate whose admitted bastard was a charge on the public; who was nominate ! on a platform whose chief are-hitect now admits it is either free trade or protection, whichever suits; and whose accept­ ance letter is dumb where it is not evasive. When silence is considered statesmanship and libertinism is at a premium it is time for citi­ zens who do not worship equivocation or indorse audacious immorality to say to the time- servers and tlie 1 laoe-hunters, 'Let 11s go hence.' His exposition of political principles is neither true, time-honored, nor Democratic. I have not chpnged since the Chicago conven­ tion--the change is in Grover Cleveland. Let any canetid, rational voter gaze at the man named at tlie Democratic convention for his personal purity of character, and for his cour­ ageous convictions of public duty, and compare him with the Cleveland who now represents the 'Rake's Progress'--the friend (?i of Maria Hal- pin--the candidate whose acceptance address, which is not only inisleatling, but on the real issue of the day Is as dumb as the dumb devil or Scripture. Benjamin F. Butler is the great­ est Democrat since Thomas Jefferson. As Cob- den well says, when the time is riiie for a change the man will come, and he comes in the person of a'great American commoner." Tlie publication of the card has caused a great sensation. Mr. Breen's pai>er is widely circu­ lated, and is the only Sunday paper of Demo­ cratic proclivities publlshed in the city. An Irishman's Sentiment. I cannot support or vote for Mr. Cleveland. We want no Aaron Burr the second in the Presi­ dential chair. 1 believe that the protection pol­ icy of the Republican party is the true one, and that an Irishman who votes for Cleveland votes just as free-trade England would have him. There is no good reason why Irishmen should be found sustaining the Democratic party in ttxis campaign; there are abundant reasons Satent to every intelligent Irishman why the epublican party should receive their support. --I'ntru-k H. Vulteii, in Cooperxtoicu liepub- e 8OME letters have beenlidelressed to the National Republican Committee in reference to Mr. Blaine's views on the question of prohibition. The answer to those letters has beeu that in the event of Mr. Blaine's election to the Presidency he would have nothing whatsoever to do with the question of prohibition. That would be a matter en­ tirely for the different States. Even if the majority of American voters were in fuvor of prohibition, it would take about twenty-five years to emboeiy their views in a cemstitu- tional amendment. ADVICES received at Washington anil New York indicate that Erie County, in which is Buffalo, Cleveland's home, will give a large majority against Clevelaud in November. Two years aga Erie County gave a majority of 3,000 for Cleveland for Governor. - EDWARD F. MCDONALD, who was nom­ inated for Presidential Electeu- by the Dem­ ocrats for the Jersey City district of New Jersey, has declined. He says he intends to rote for Butter.
