HARRISON IN NEW YORK.

The Kx-I'resldcnt Makes A I'olltlcu. Speech—Morton Presides. NEW YORK,NOV.1.—Ex-President Har

rison addressed a big audicnce at Carnegie music hall Wednesday night on the political issues. Ex-Vice President Levi P. Morton, the republican nominee for governor of Now York, prosided, and introduced Gen. Harrison.

Mr. Morton, In introducing Gen. Harrison, returned his thanks ior tho warm reception accorded him. He said it was foreign to his inclinations to participate in publio meetings after his own nomination to office, He desired to be judged by tho record ho had made, rather than by any professions manufactured for tho ocoasion. lie then introduced Gen. Harrison as a citizen resolute in war and acoomplishcd iu the civil councils of tho na tlon.

The ex-president was greeted with tumultuous applause when he stepped forward to make his address. Tho audience cheered him again and again, both ladies and gentlemen taking part in the enthusiastic greetings. Finally quiet was restored and Air. Harrison began his speech. He said: "Jn this great country of ours, this sisterhood of states, this union undor one flag and oue constitution has such an intermingling of influences, that no election can in any proper sense be said to be loonl. it Is of consequence and ought to be of concern to the people of the United States, from St. Johns to Puget Sound, whether the great state of New York shall have at the head of Its executive department a typical American citizen or one who looks only to party advantages rather than the public wcai, whether he shall be a man who loves our free Institutions, who preserves the sanctity of the ballot box and tho equality of men before the law, or whether he shall be a man who consorts with thoso who prostitute the ballot box, who sonsorts with those who degrade Dublic office aud public administration."

Gen. Harrison then eulogized tho life and public services of Mr. Morton in eloquent terms. He continued: "I do not regard this trreat contost which Is being waged in the city of New York for pure, clean, deocnt municipal government aa a local issue. The whole oountry wutohex that great struggle. It has read with amazement and disgust tho revelations ol municipal corruption and debauchery which ha* been laid beforo the public, it watches with anxious solicitude the decision of whether %hero Is power in the body politic of this great city to cleanse Itself from these Impurities and reassert decent government.

It has come to be reoognized by all students of public government that tho question of municipal control and management brings these institutions and principles to tho severest test, and we watch from all our cities, great aud small, throughout the country, this great contest which Is now being waged in the city of New York. "1 hope, sincerely hope, that wo shall have another illustration to bo added to those which we have had in tho past, that however patient the people may be, however uuwatchful for a season. wl:en things have become utterly bad. men, without reference to party, will rally to the defense of their institutions and their homes and sot things right once moro,"

Gen. Harrison then began a lengthy discussion of national issues, the remainder of his address being directed tnainly to an exposition of republican tariff beliefs, and the excoriation of the position taken by the democratic partj\ He strongly denounced the attempt to fix the responsibility of the evil times which came upon tho country upon republican legislation. The cause, he declared, was tho attempt to enact a 1Q»V framed on trie Hues of the Chicago platform.

GERMANY'S ACTION.

Amorlritu Hoof Prohibition Denounoed by Minister liunyon.

1 Nno.v, Nov. i,—The Standard's Berlin correspondent says: The prohibition of imports of cattle from the Cnited States produced a lively exchange of views between Mr. Kuiiyon and Freiherr Marschall von Biebenstein. Runyon declared the order severe, unjust and needless aud evidently a reprisal for the American sugar duties, whioh the president of course would annul. Marschall admitted the force of the three firstz-epithetfi, but repudiated the last one. He said that Germauy could not barter the soundness of her cattle for a prospective lowering of sugar duties. Tho incubation period of Texas fever he said, was six weeks, and cattle leaving America in apparent health might afterwards be attacked and spread the infection. Mr. ltunyon disputed this, claiming that the contagion i6 carried only b}T insects that do not exist in Europe, and, moreover, dead meat was unable to convey the germs from Texas.
