CONSULTING QROVER.

NEW YOUK, Oct. 1. Ex-President Cleveland arrived In the city from Buzzard liav on the steamer lJil(frim. A bunt 200 people were on the pier to receive him. Mr. Cleveland was accompanied b.v Richard Watson Uilder, editor of the Century, and Daniel J. Urifliu,'of Watertown. The ex-president was hurried to tt carriage in which, with Messrs. Uilder and Uritllu he was driven to the Victoria hotel, where he will put up during his stay in the city. Mr. Cleveland, when seen by a reporter, could tell nothing about what lie would do while here or how long ho would remain in the city. lie could not tell, either, whether he would address the convention of democratic clubs on Tuesday next until he had first seen the gentlemen in charge of the affair. Senator Ilill is in town and it is probable tfiat the democratic leaders will make an effort to bring Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill together during their stay in the city. flirty Lenders Confer.

In the afternoon all the members of the executive committee of the democratic national committee who are in town called on Mr. Cleveland at the hotel. They remained with him for over an hour. They were: Chairman Harrity, Don M. Dickinson, Secretary Sheerin, Arthur I5. Gorman, Calvin S. Ilrice. Josiali Quincy and Iiradley I!. Sinulley. They loft democratic headquarters in two and threes and all got to Mr. Cleveland's room within half an hour of each other. Before the last of tliein went away William C. Whitney sent his card to Mr. Cleveland and was immediately ushered upstairs. He refused lo discuss the third ticket question in New York.

Crista In the Kinplre Mtate. Mr. Cleveland's reception did not end until midnight, and his time was occupied almost constantly from the time of his arrival until then. Throughout the evening William C. Whitney never left the room, but remained with him, materially aiding iu the entertainment of the callers. To add to the interest which kept Mr. Whitney in constant attendance was the fact that the action of the state committee had been foreshadowed, and the fact that a crisis in New York state politics had been reached, a state whose electoral votes it is so important to secure. During the evening representatives of both the regular state organizations, and those whose sympathies are with the leaders in the Syracuse movement called. Among the former wore Attorney General Simon W. Roscndale and Robert B. Roosevelt, treasurer of the democratic national committee, and among the latter were Franklin D. Locke, of Buffalo, and C. C. Baldwin, treasurer of the county democracy.

If Mr. Whitney, who is generally recognized as Mr. Cleveland's representative, speaks his sentiments the ex-president will not oppose a third ticket. Mr. Whitney is of the opinion that the more local democratic candidates there are the fuller the vote will be for the national ticket.

Definite Action Deferred.

The anti-snappers met to hear the reports of the committee appointed to confer with the national (democratic committee relative to the most effective method to further the election of the national democratic ticket. ExMayor Grace was present at the meeting. The general sentiment of the several speakers favored the putting forth of a third local ticket, and this sentiment was loudly and repeatedly applauded by the gathering. Nothing definite on the subject, however, was determined. The conference committee was continued, with instructions to confer with other district organizations. •Senator rainier Speak..

MONTICEI.I.O. 111., Oct. 1.—The democracy of Piatt county and central Illinois held a grand rail}- here Friday. Senator John M. Palmer was the orator. His address was principally devoted to the money pc-trer and the tariff. lie denied the right of the government to levy taxes to pay bounties to the manufacturers. He claimed that there had been no Increase in the wages of the laboring man since the McICinley law was passed except in a few branches of skilled labor.

John Shormau Talks.

CI.EVEI.ANP, O., Oct. 1.—Senator John Sherman spoke at North Fairfield, Huron county, Friday. It was his opening speech in the campaign, and he went into the Fourteenth congressional district, where there is a bitter tight with Congressman Ilarter, democrat, on one side and E. G. Johnson, republican, on the other. About 5,000 persons were at the meeting. Senator Sherman first reviewed the material progress of the United States under a protective tariff since iSGl, claiming that all the prosperity was duo .to the republican policy. Senator Sherman then discussed the democratic declaration that protection is unconstitutional,' and said he could quote the opinions of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jacksou in favor of protection by tariff laws. John C. Calhoun, he said, first promulgated the doctrine that protection was unconstitutional, in the days of nullification in 1SS3, and Gun. Jackson said if Calhoun tried to carry out hi$ ideas he would "hung him as high as llaraan." The senator said that, while the democratic and republican parties occupied about the same position in their national platforms on the silver question, it must not be forgotten that a majority of democrat* in both the senate and

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY

house of the present congress frequently voted last winter for the free coinage of silver. He said the result of free coinage would be disastrous to all industries and would be especially severe upon the laborer and tho poor. The senator next took up the democratic declaration in favor of the repeal of the tax on state bank circulation, and went over the history of "wild-cat" banking in the west- He said our currency was every dollar of it as good as gold.

Hill's Campaign Plans.

AI.HA.NV, Oct. 1.—Senator David B. Hill is preparing to make a number of speeches in places where they are likely to prove the most effective. He will speak in this city some time next month, and will go to Virginia not later than the middle of the month. The last two weeks of the campaign he will devote to the four old-time pivotal states New York, Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey. Demand a Free Ballot and a Fair Count.

COLUMBUS, S. C„ Oct. 1.—The republican state convention adjourned after much discussion over small matters. A full set of electors was nominated and a platform was adopted. The national ticket is indorsed and the Minneapolis platform reaffirmed. The platform also demands a free ballot and a fair count.

They May Not Speak.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. President Harrison is seriously considering the advisability of allowing the members of his cabinet to make speeches during the campaign. He is of the opinion that it would be undignified for cabinet officers to show activity in this respect.

ONE LIFE SAVED.

Rescuers Talc© Out One oT tlio Entombed Michigan Minor*—Working Hard to Save Ills Ten Unfortunate Companions, with

Little Hope of Success. ISHPEMINO, Mich., Oct. 1.—A dis

patch from Ironwood says that one man. a miner named Abraham Thompson, was rescued alive from the fated Norrie mine at 10 a. in. Friday. He is uninjured, but was so fearfully scared by his thirty hours' Imprisonment that he can scarcely speak. He was in "room" by himself, and does not know whero the other ten men were.

Following is a oorrect list of the missing men: Frank Dausham, Samuel Dausham, John Johnson, miners Simon Veclein, John Bloomquist, Herman Erickson, Jacob Sundquist, timber crew Matt Mother, John Ilcrmannson, trammers, and Michael Downs, skip tender.

Adrift 40 feet long, through rock and ore, has already been driven by the rescuing- party. The men working in this party are themselves in great danger, as the ground in which they are working is likely tostart to run at any time, overwhelming them as well as the unfortunate ten whoso life or death is now a matter of conjecture.

All hope of finding any of the others alive has been abandoned. The perilous work of clearing out the rood: continues night and day, however. Gloom has spread over the city and crowds congregate about the mine shafts. It may be hours, days, weeks or months before the bodies are recovered. The answer by pounding on the rock Thursday was made by Thompson, who says he did not hear of any of the other ten tnen. No sounds have been heard from the caved-in chambers since Thompson was taken out.

At daylight Smith brought a bundle and laid it on the poroh iu front of a store. The storekeeper laid back the wrappings and found the mutilated form of a little girl. Smith walked about in a dazed condition and soon his wife staggered into the store, her left arm and shoulder being shot away. She said she gave Smith two revolvers and a shotgun and they agreed for him to kill the child first, then herself and himself. Smith fired ,u shot at himself, but the bullet only grazed his head.
