GENERAL BEN. HARRISON.

POI RS HOT SHOT WTO THE ENEMY'S

CAJIF-A SPEECH THAT SHOl'LO

HAVE BEEN HEARD BY EVEKY OXE.

At three o'clock yesterday Gen. Har rison and Hon. Thomas Nicholls arrived from Indianapolis and were met by the Young Men's Republican Club committee^

The Garfield Guards escorted General Harrison, Secretary Thompson and Sir. Nicholl's to the Wigwam The procession numbered about five hundred persons provided with torches.

The meeting was called to order by Mr. Diall, President of the Young Men's Republican Club, who annouueed the following officers for the evening: Presiideut

A-

B. Felsenthal. Vice Presidents,

1st ward, Charles Hunter 2nd ward, R. M. aay 3d ward, W. H. Fisk 4th ward, Tlios. Bishop 5th ward, Charles Moench 6th ward, David Phillips, Secretary, Wm. H. Duncan.

Mr. Felsenthal introduced the General who spoke for nearly two hours in the clearest, concise and most logical manner.

Space forbids us giving but a synopsis of his speech at this time. He began by saying that the Republican and Democratic parties are before the people to be judged. The debate has begun but we are not yet, I hope, so much in the "rush and roar" of the campaign that a speaker may not expect to find access to the minds and consciences of the more moderate men of the opposite party. If any such have honored me with their presence to-night, let me assure them at the beginning that I shall not abuse the respect they have shown me by coming.

HONEST ELECTIONS.

In my opinion the underlying and overlying question of the liour-^the one that most nearly affects the peace, growth and happiness of our people, as well as the continuance of our free institutions, is the issue of free elections and an honest count,

The problems of the campaign are believed by Republicans to be these: 1. Can the Republican vote in the Southern States tie cast arid counted? 2. Can we prevent a repetition of the old Tweed election frauds in the city of New York? And. 8d. Can we have an honest election in Indiana? Is there any Democrat bold enough to say there is no ground for the grave apprehensions which are honestly entertained by the Republican party on this subject?

THE PROBLEM IN INDIANA.

Can we be reasonably certain that the result of the election in Indiana will be determined by her own legal electors? The Democratic newspapers are already charging that the Republican managers are preparing to import votes from other States, while we believe that these very charges are a cover for contemplated Democratic alection frauds. In the midst of these charges and counter changes, how is the honest citizen to know which paaty isrealy in favor of honest elections? There is, I think, an easy and infallible test.

After discussing the amendments thoroughly, he said of Landers and the Jennings county conspiracy that "Mr. Landers, in a recent speech, alluded to the trial and conviction of Wilkerson in the United States Court at Indianapolis, about a year ago, for election frauds in Jennings county. The case was used to point an argument against the jurisdiction of that court in such case. I am fa miliar with the facts in that case, having assisted in the prosecution of it by appointment of the Attorney General. And since the case lias been introduced into the campaign, I will give an outline of it. Wilkerson and others were indicted for a conspiracy to import voters into Jennings county to influence the Congressional election. The defendants were ably represented by Mr. Turpie and Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks. Judge Gresham gave them a jury of six Democrats and six Republicans. They were all most reputable citizens, and the Democracy of the six was of a pronounced type. Some of them had been nominated by their party for responsible offices. Wilkerson was found guilty and sentenced to be confined in the penitentiary for one year, and to pay a fine of one thousand dollars. He has served out his term of imprisonment, and by the clemency of the President, which I joined in asking, the fine has been remitted. This case cannot be used to point an argument against the courts or the election laws or the United States. Every hottest man will say the law is just, that it was justly administered Mid the judg ment right Let it be a warning to men of all parties who may be tempted to enter upon illicit methods of electioneer Ing. Our lax State laws have begotten a lax sentiment, and it is altogether a good tning to let alt men know that election frauds will be panishedU A conspiracy or combination of two or more to give opportunity to vote to those who ase not lawfully entitled at a Congressioc election, ff any act lie done in further

ance of the conspiracy, is a complete crime. It is not necessary that the illegal vote should be cast. The offense is complete before the election, aad the guilty parties may be at once arrested and punished.

He argued the whole ground carefully, and at the close of his speech calls wore made for Secretary Thompson, who stepped forward and said that Indiana was all right, and that he had just returned from the Pacific Slope, and that he knew the Golden State would give Garfield a majority in Novemher.

BURIAL OF MISS NEILSONEARTHQUAKE IN CUBA.

The Recumbent Male Bovine andj 1,800 Redskins Surrender—Chinese Commerce.

LONDON. August 20.—To-day all that was mortal of the beautiful and brilliant British actrcss was said at rest in the lovely cemetery at Brompton. The funeral services were read by Rev. J. D. Mossingham, in the presence of two hundred friends, some of whom were connected with the deceased lady by ties much stroneor than those of ordinary friendship. The remains were inclosed in an elegant casket of polished oak, the plate bearing only the name and date of death. Among tho mourners were Edward Compton, who was Miss Neilson's .support in her last tour through the United Suites, and to whom, It is now stated, she was privately married a year ago John S. Clark, the American actor Henry Labouchere, editor of Truth Lord Henry Lenn'tu', Admiral Carr Glynn, and many ncr$ons of recognized prominence iu the.literary and dramatic worlds An' uninscribed marble slab temporarily marks the last resting place of Adelaide Neilson.

Discrimination Affnlimt Clilnrsr Import* WASHINGTON, August 20.—-The following was issued by the Treasury Department this afternoon in regard to Mi© imposition ot discriminating duties on. goods expected to arrive by a Chinese vessel about due at San Francisco.

It may be stated that the Treasury De partment holds that the discriminatinc: duty of teu per cent ad valorem must, under the present regulations,, be charged upon these goods, under Section 2,501 of the Revised Statutes, and tho Collcctor"of Customs at San Francisco has been instructed accordingly. However, if it/Khali appear that China makes no discrimination in regard to imports from the United States over that from other countries, it would bp competent for tile President to issue his proclamation under Section 4,428 of the Revbed Statutes relieving such goods from discriminating duty. It is understood that tho State Department is now making the necessary investigation to determine the facts upon this point.

It was formally agreed after adjournment of the Cabinet to-day to prepare a proclamation extending those commercial privileges now enjoyod by other nations to Chinese vessels now on their way to San Francisco laden with Hawaiian produots. Preparations 'for drafting the proclamation began at the Department of State this afternoon, and if completed will be submitted to the Cabinet for consideration next Tuesday. It will be (Julte an elaborate document.

Indian atirrcnder,

WASIUNOTON, August 2Q.—The wliofesale surrender of the hitherto unsubmissive Sioux Indians, who went into Canada, now taking place at Fort Keogh, Montana, was not unexpected, [and the policy of the Government with reference thereto was decided upon long before the Indians began to make their appcarancet Orders were sent to the Department com mander to permit the return of all Indians willing to surrender unconditionally, and submit themselves and their property to the disposition of this Cfoverftmcnt. Sioux: and other Indians coming into Ft. Keogh come virtually as prisoners of war. They will be promptly disarmed and dismounted, their arms and pouies be sold and the proceeds turned into provisions for their temporary subsistence. Eventually they will be turned over to the Interior Department and transported to some point on the west side or the 'Missouri River and as far south as practicable, where they will be placed on a reservation and kept there by such means of restraint as may be found necessary. The war Department docs not understand that the 1,800 or more Indians who have surrendered or are on their way to surrender at

Keogh have any other than a

mere nominal connection with Sitting Bull. They went north at the same time he did, but have never been to any extent under his personal control, and the movements ana intention of that chief are regarded by the Department with indifference.

If he chooses to come in and sur

render, well and good if not, he must stay on the Canadian side of the line. The General of the Army does not think Sitting Bull exercises or has exercised any important influence over the Indians coming back. No danger whatever ia anticipated from their appearance Jn such large numbers at the agency. The troops in the vieinity are fully able to check any hostile movment which might take place, and the disorderly conduct reported is regarded by the War Department as the natural lawlesenee and turbulence of savages coming in in such large numbers, but without hostile intentions.

The dispatch which waa received at the War Department from General MHOS relative to the surrender of Sioux Indians, was read in the Cabinet to-day, but excited no unusual comment the general expression of opinion, however, so far as it went, being in favor of carrying out the policy already adapted ia dealing with these uu* ruly Indians.
