CLF.VK1.AND ADDUESSKS A UUL'L'ALO CLUB. NEW YOHK, Oct. *i~.—The reception at tlie Imperial hotel Wednesday night to ex-President Cleveland by tiie lluffalonians Cleveland club was attended •by about 200 persons, consisting' o) members of the club and a few invited guests. Mr. Cleveland's arrival was the occasion of applause. During hi* remarks he said, among other things:

Importance of tlio Mtruf l«. "You kuow liow devoted I am to the principles of tlie democratic party, and your knowledge of me will, I am sure, acquit me of insincerity when express the opinion thai the result of the pending political struggle moans more to our country and our people than any in which you or I have ever been engaged. 'On one side iho claim is defiantly and arrogantly announced that the functions of our government may be used directly for the benefit of ccrtaln special interests, with at best a very remote regard to the welfaro of the masses of the people. In opposition to this an appeal is made to our fellow citizens to hold fast to the doctrine that their government should at all times be administered directly for them, and tliat tliey should not he obilged to receive as their share of the blessings of the free government they maintain the small portion winch may illter through to them in the process of making special bencttciarles rich. In other words, the democratic party Is insisting upon 1 he honest application of the rule that a gov eminent by the people should be a government for tiie people."

Mr. Cleveland was followed by Lieut. Gov. Shechan, who spoke of the certainty of New York's going' for the democratic nominees. Then Mayor Bishop, of Buffalo, made a few remarks. The announcement that refreshments we~e ready was made and the rest of the evening was spent in social conversation and handshaking. AU the speeches were applauded heartily.

McKinley at Danville.

DAXVII.I.B, 111., Oct 27.—One of the great political days in the history of Danville will be known as "McKinley day.'.' All the principal stores and mauy private residences were most beautifully deoorated. Steel engravings of President Harrison and Gov. MoKinley were seen in every window. All tha railroads from every direction ran special trains into town, and early in the day large crowds arrived from-Lafayette, West Point, Wllliatnsport, Crawfordsville aind Covington, in Indiana, and from Springfield, Decatur, Champaign, Urban a, Paris, .Sidney, Rossville, Hoopeston, Watselca, Sidcll and Georgetown, in Illinois.

An immense throng cheered enthusiastically as Gov. McKinley alighted from the train at 2:80 p. m. From the Wabash depot to Ellsworth park where the speaking took place, is half mile due west on Main street. The governor's drive was a continual ovation. At the park over 10,000 persons were present. Ex-Congress-man J. G. Cannon introduced the governor, concluding his brief remarks with the statement tiiat the United .States owed as much of its present prosperity to Gov. McKinley as to any other man living, or dead.

Gov. McKinley disoussed the plank in the democratic platform which favors.repeal of the 10 percent, tax on the currency issued by the state banks, He then passed to the tariff, explaining the difference between a protective tariff and a tariff for revenue only, and claiming that next after the mechanics the farmers were benefited by a protective tariff. Free trade or a tariff for revenue only would drive many mechanics out of their usual employment to seek a living out of the soil, making many more farmers. "A- protective tariff," he said, "means many more consumers of farm products, while tariff for revenue more competitors in

means many the farming business." He closed on the tariff by saying that this country never would have a free-trade policy until all European manufacturers paid their employes wages as high as are paid here. Then it might come about. The governor closed by review ing the administration of President Harrison, which had been so honest, able and patriotic that it had secured the admiration of every citizen of the

United States, and even unchallenged in the present campaign. St«v«iiaou in Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, N. Y., Oot 27.—The democracy of Brooklyn turned out in force Wednosday night and held great mass meeting in the Academy of. Music, where Adlai E. Stevenson, the vioe presidential candidate, and Congressman Isador Rayner, of Maryland, spoke on the issues of the campaign. Over 4,000 persons, many of whom were ladies, were crowded in the spacious umphitheator. Mr. Stevenson received an ovation as ho stepped forward to delivor his speech, the great audience rising to its feet, waving handkerchiefs and wildly cheering. He reviewed the administration of Grover Cleveland, which, he said, had gone into history as economical and able.

Referring to the condition of the treasury, he said that at the close of the Cleveland administration the surplus, exclusive of the gold reserve, was $83,000,000, and continued: "What is the condition which now confronts us nt the end of three years and a half of repub-lic-Hi administration? On the basis of revenues to the government as estimated for tho present fiscal year, and of the liabilities of the government on account of the annual and permanent appropriations' for th« same period, there •will be a deficit of 152,000,000. Upon the assumption that the law requiring M8,000,000 tor the sinking fund will be complied with, tbore Is no escaping the deflelenoy I have mentioned. The bankruptcy whloh now threatens the treasury Is the result, flrst, of the enactment of the McKinley tariff, law, and, second, the luvlah appropriations of tho Fifty-first congress."

Taking up the financial plank of the Chicago convention he declared that it voiced his sentiments, and passing to the tariff denounced tho republican system of "protection" to certain industries by which heavy tariff burdens

AWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, THURS DA OCTOBER 27,1892.

are laid upon the great mass of the people for the benefit of favored individuals who are fortunate enough to receive its blessings.

The speaker then proceeded to give his views on the force bill, and said that the bill in every line and paragraph breathed distrust of the people. The people, the source of all political power under our constitution, have no voice in the selection of those who, under the monstrous provisions of

thiB

bill, can sport at will with their dearest rights. "This legislation, my fellow citizens, it devised in a spirit of hate."

Foraker in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.—Ex-Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, addressed the Republican Commercial and Traveling Men's club at the First regiment armory Wednesday night. Without any of the usual Influences of brass bands and torohlight processions, which had been abandoned as a mark of reapeot to the late Mrs. Harrison, the armory was crowded to its utmost limits.

Mr. Foraker waa wildly cheered on being introduead. He paid a tribute to Mrs. Harrison's character and had pleasant words of thauks to the old soldiers and the commercial and traveling men. He declared this was a business men's campaign, the currently and tariff questions being of commanding importance. Touching the tariff legislation, he said tlie Mills bill' and the Morrison bill were both dead, but the McKinley bill is taking care of itself. The democrats went further this year than they ever had done before in opposition to the protective policy. They declared protective tariff unconstitutional This he denied. Washington thought protective duties constitutional so did Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, James Madison,Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Later Henry Clay and Daniel Webster held the same view. Rufus Choate agreed with them, and so now does Geor|f. Tick nor Curtis, a well-known democrat and eminent lawyer. Abraham

Lincoln believed iu a practical tariff, and Ulysses S. Grant and James A. Garfield were of the aame opinion and of the living to-day,.Benjamin Harrison and James 6. Blaine are of alike mind.

He argued long in defense of the protective system of the republican party. The money plank in the democratic platform was soored aa a wildcat bank scheme. Financial transactions under various administrations from Buchanan to the present time were referred to at length, and the achievements of the republican party on finance were coupled with the result* of the republican scheme of protection as good for the whole people. He told of the Peck report as democratic evidence of the results of protection in New York.

Mills Speak* at Kan Claire. BAB CLAIMS, Wis.. Oct. 37.—Soger Q. Mills' addressed about 3,000 people Wednesday night The speaker did not go into particulars in his tariff argument, confining himself mostly to a statement cf'the olaims that the tariff is added to the price of the domestic product, that wages decrease in proportion to the increase of the tariff that we can't sell our .products abroad unless we have liberty of trade so we can buy from foreigners, and that the tariff was building up a plutocratic class.-

Bally at Qulncy.

-. QUINOV, III., Oct. 27.—Wednesday was a great day for the republicans from western Illinois, northeastern Missouri and southeastern Iowa. It was the day of the tri-state republican rally, and all day long the streets were thronged. In the afternoon speeches were made by Hon. Robert T. Lincoln,. ex-Gov. Oglesby and George £. WlUlts, who spoke to an audienoe of 5,000 people. They all covered about the same ground, reviewing the history and record of the republican party, explaining the operation of the protective system and showing the benefits and advantages which it conferred upon the American people. A great torchlight parade at night ended the rally.

Voters In Cbtcafo.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.—The registration completed on Tuesday will show about 370,000 names. When all deductions are made for those who have not all the qualifications necessary to a right to vote at the coming election, it is estimated that the net total wills how about 205,000 names.

STRIKERS ARE VIOLENT.

Bloodshed at Homestead—Non-Union Men Roughly Handled bj Unemployed Mill Workers—The Town May Be Placed Under Martial Law.

HOMESTKAD, Pa., Oct 27.—Lawlessness continues on the increase. Several non-unionists were assaulted in daylight and crowds which defied the force of deputy sheriffs gathered in astonishingly short time and carried matters with a high hand. It would appear as though spies watch the movements of the deputy sheriffs and the moment* they are away make sudden qnslaughts on the residences of nonunion men and upon the workmen. It has about been decided to increase the force of night deputies by fifty, if good men can be found,and if not the borough may be placed under martial law. The situation is certainly very grave, according to the belief of the chief and his deputies. The assanlts are becoming bolder and more dangerous. For a week not a day has passed without bloodshed.

Killed Three Women and Himself. UKRLIN, Oct 27.—Herr Lenge, master cooper, becoming jealous of his sweetheart, went to her home and began firing at her with a revolver. Two women who lived in the house in terfered and attempted to protect their unfortunate companion, whereupon Lenge shot theui also. All three of the women were killed, and Lenge then committed suicide.

LIQUOR AT THE FAIR.

The National Commission Does Not Forbid It— It May Re Served at Restaurants, But There Will Be No Barrooms or Saloons.

CHICAGO, Oct 27.—Liquor will be sold at Jackson park during the world's fair. The board of directors some months ago decided that stimulating beverages should be dispensed, and the national commision, which lias final jurisdiction on such matters, concurred at its meeting Wednesday in the action of the directory. After passing upon this question the commission adjourned sine die, which, under the by-laws, means the last week in April next year. The principal business of the session has been the adoption of rules for the administration of the exposition so far as the immediate rights of exhibitors are concerned. Of almost equal interest is the attitude of the commission in regard to liquor-selling. The commission approved it, but an important consideration in this oonncction is that the sale shall be in restaurants at tables andi at meals. There will be no barrooms or saloons on the grounds. This Is the position of the direutory and also the national committee. Among other rules adopted was one closing the grounds on Sunday and one fixing the price of admission at fifty cents.
