They admit that it is possible ! for persons in citizens’ clothes to make j purchases where it is impossible for an | officer to get in.

. —w SAVING THE COMV. Sayings and Doings of Loading Politicians of Two Parties. M’KINLEY FOR PRESIDENT. The Cry Taken Up nt a Denionatratlftn 1 Given Him In Columbus— Mum Meeting of Hill and Cleveland Faction* In Albany—Ohio'* Governor Going to Lonial- ; ann—Enthusiasm For Wilson. Columbus, 0., Oct. 16.—Not all the i Republicans of Columbus attended the McKinley meeting last night, for the ; one reason that they could not. Such an enormous crowd was never sden ; squeezed into the great rink, which is i roomy enough to furnish seating accom- , modatipn for some 3,000 or 4,000 per- ; i sons, but which held fully twice that ( , number. Thousands struggled in Vain ; to get in. Men and women literally ! fought for admission. There was a big i 1 procession of the local clubs which i formed at the courthousd and to the ■ music of a half dozen bands, rockets, , eoltyed fires, booming cannon and vo-1 i eiferous thousands on the sidewalks, ’ ! marched along High street for two miles to the rink. It was one of the most notable outpourings of the people that Columbus has ever had. Ohio has taken up the cry that has gone up in the west, and stretched over the platform in the rink was a banner with pictures of Governor McKinley and the words “For president in 1896.” The governor spoke for an hour and a half. Hill-cleveland. Enthusiastic and Significant Mass Meeting of Factions In Alimnj’. Albany, Oct. 16.—A joint mass meeting held last night by the Hill and Cleveland faction at Harmanus Bleecker hall was one of the most enthusiastic, as well as important and significant, jollifications of the present campaign. Governor Flower said in his speech: “This is a time when Democrats should stand up and be counted, and if I do not mistake the feeling of the rank and file they are in line for battle.” The governor paid a glowing tribute to Senator Hill as a statesman and a Democrat. Bourke Cockran “The Democratic party has been bending for two years over the prostrate form of American industry,” Mr. Cockran said. “The party led by my friend Reed tells you otherwise. But will the people believe him or them. No; their common sense tells them better. We are a common nation, with fields as fertile and mines as rich as they were 30 years -ago. Yet your* mills are stopped, your factories closed. Why these hard times? If they came not from God they came from man. Why, my friends, this panic could not be canard by any legislation which could be'/inacted in one or two years. No. The legislation which caused' this was the outgrowth of 20 years of rule of the Republican party. The commerce of the nation is the commerce of the individual. For the years of its rule- the Republican party has advocated a system of protection. This, combined with a debauched currency, is the powerful factor which has brought us our closed factories, unemployed thousands, our hard times.” HILL’S CAMPAIGN. Secretary Lamont Talks on the Administration’s Relation to It. Rochester, Octi 16.—A Post-Express reporter has had an interview with Colonel Lamont, secretary of war, on the subject of New York state politics. The reporter asked what was the attitude of the national administration with regard to the campaign in this state. “A good deal has been said in the newspapers about that, and it has been said unnecessarily,” said the secretary. “The administration has taken no stand on this question. It is a Democratic administration and desires Democratic success.” “Will there be any communication from an official source stating Mr. Cleveland’s position?” “Nothing has been said about it,” responded the secretary. “Mr. Hill is one of the best and ablest campaigners in the country and is making a bold and aggressive fight.” Political Bolterg In Court. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 16. —When the the supreme court met today the bolting (or administration) wing of the Nebraska Democracy began mandamus proceedings to compel Secretary of State Allen to place what is known as the Sturdevant ticket on the official ballot. A question of preventing the secretary of state from placing the names of fusion candidates twice on the ballots will also be presented. Crowd to Hear Wilson. Mannington, W. Va., Oct. 16.—Hon. W. L. Wijson arrived here late yesterday afternoon from Morgantown and found about 2,000 Democratic voters awaiting him, one half of these crowding the opera house to suffocation and the others massed outside the building, unable to obtain entrance. Mr. Wilson spoke for an hour. Had Expected Voorhees. Mansfield, 0., Oct. 16.—The Democratic campaigp was opened with one of the largest demonstrations ever seen in the state. Voorhees and Crisp were not present as expected, but ex-Govetnor James E. Campbell, Chairman A. W. Thurman and others made speeches. Stevenson In Paris. Paris, Ills., Oct. 16.—Vice President Stevenson, accompanied by William J. Claggett and A. J. Hunter, was driven in a carridge at the head of a large procession through the principal streets of the city yesterday. The vice president afterward spoke for one hour to a crowd ofl ’ 800 ’ - • ■ McKinley Will Go to Louisiana.

ITITZZWLKS. Alcohol Schednle of the Tariff Bill the tSource of New Trouble. COFFIN CASE ADVANCED. Convicted Indianapolis Bank Looters to Hava an Early Hearing Before the Supreme Coart— Minister Denby Send* Reassuring New* From Pekin — Comparison of Import* and Export*. Washington, Oct. 16.—Another com- 1 plication has arisen regarding the free alcohol section of the new tariff law. , Secretary Carlisle, owing to the failure of congress to make the necessary appro- ; priation, is unable to put the law into j 'effect. Notwithstanding the secretary’s , ! decision, it is contended that alcohol , ' used in the arts, etc. r has been free since I Aug. 28. Users of alcohol in medicine land tlv arts want to know whether : they are violating the law in removing l revenue stamps from the empty barrels. If they do - not they will have no evidence u; ii which to base claims against I I the government for the return of duty paid since the law went into effect. On I the other hand, as the law now stands, they are liable’.to heavy penalties for not destroying the stamps when the barrels are emptied. REASSURING NEWS. Minister Denby Semis Worh That American* In p. kin Are In No Danger. Washington, Oct. 16.—A cablegram has been received at the state department from Unifi'd States Minister Denby at Pekin which is calculated to reassure persons who have friends in China ■ and who have been fearful as to their o -.\v k -Crrr'; ' V- ■- \ . M MINISTER safety. The minister says that the reports of danger to the foreign residents of Pekin are exaggerated. rThere has been only one instance of on and adequate pumshment was meted out at once to the perpetrators. A proclamation has been issued by the authorities enjoining protection for foreigners. o IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. Comparative Figures For September of 1893 ami 1894 and For Nine Mouths. Washington, Oct. 16. —The bureau of statistics furnishes these comparative figures on exports and impoTts for September: istu. Exports of merchandise..?:!?,<i2ti, 79B $59,(138,863 Imports of inerehandiMX. 4t>,S>o,<il2 50,688,519 Exports of gold. 1.13<i.5>2 24 .0 Imports of gold.. 6,678,945 704,130 Exports of silver 4,742,»82 4.003,184 Imports of silver 1,914.789 1,527,452 The exports of domestic merchandise for the last nine months amounted to $577,047,022, against $603,221,873 for same time in 1893. The imports of merchandise during the nine months of 1894 amounted to $503,529,738, and for the same period last year $625,325,327. During the nine months of 1894 the excess of gold exports over imports was $73,-. 603,619 and of silver $25,581,589; 4 THEIR CASE ADVANCED. Supreme Court Will Hear the Appeal of the Coffins Early In December. Washington, Oct. 16.—The United States supreme court yesterday advanced the case of Francis A. Coffin and Percival B. Coffin, plaintiffs in error, vs. the United States, and set it for hearing on the first Monday in December. The motion to advance was made by Solicitor General Maxwell for the government last Tuesday. The Coffins were tried in the court below on the charge of being in collusion with others instrumental in wrecking the Indianapolis National bank, and are now under sentence for this offense. Call For Gold. Washington, Oct. 16. —United States Treasurer Morgan yesterday received a telegram from Assistant Treasurer Jordan at New York stating that $500,000 in gold had been withdrawn from the subtreasury for export. This is the first withdrawal of any importance since Aug. 6 last, and this news had a disquieting effect among treasury officials. It was not, however, wholly unexpected. During the first- week in August the gold reserve had been reduced to a little below $52,000,000. At that time the export season had run its course and small gains from day to day at length brought the reserve up to over $60,000,000. Treasury officials differ somewhat as to the cause of this apparent export revival. Sugar Ca»4 Argument. Washington, Oct. 16. —Arguments have closed in the district supreme court on demurrer of Macartney and Chapman to the indictment against them for refusal to answer questions of the sugar trust investigating committee. The court will render its ruling in a few days. ■ t TRIED TO CREMATE A FAMILY. Drunken Man Lock* a Woman and Children In a House and Fire* It.

The house was partly destroyed. Huddock was arrested.
