WEST VIRGINIA.

In Square Issue Between tbe Parties the Kepublicane Hake Gains. ,.,„ WHEELING, W. Va., October 17.—

As far as heard from twenty-eight counties in this state give Democratic majorities of 12,233. Twenty-two counties give Republican majorities of 9,277, Democratic majority 2,856, with four counties to hear from which may Increase the Democratic majority 1,200. The Democratic plurality in 1880 was 16,138, and 3,100 over the Republicans and Greenbackers. This year the Republicans and Greenbackers fused. It appears however, that the Democratic Greenbackers in most counties went back to their party and the Republican Greenbackers did the same. The campaign was virtually a square issue between the Republicans and Democrats. The total vote will surpass any in the history of the state. ",\

,.....' MR. BLAINE. ••"•„:.

A Great Ovation to Him in Michigan. EAST SAGINAW, Mich., October 17.— It was about 10 o'clock this morning when Mr. Blaine's special train started from Saginaw from. Bay city. Elaborate preparations had been made for his reception. He and General Fremont were escorted through the city to a stand in the park, around which were assembled fully 16,000 people. After a ahort speech by Senator Palmer, Mr. Blaine was introduced. He spoke very briefly, and then introduced General Fremont. Both were received very enthusiastically, and when Senator Talmer spoke of the importance of the tariff to the people engaged in the salt works and in the lumbering, he was loudly applauded. There was a large procession which Mr. Blaine was expected to review, but time did not permit

LAPKKK, Mich., October 17.—The best arranged reception given to Mr. Blaine Bince he entered Michigan was at Flint, this afternoon. There were about 8,000 people in the crowd, which •cheered Mr. Blaine and Gen. Fremont enthusiastically. Blaine spoke longer than usual. In the course of his remarks he denied that he has ever been a Kaow-Nothing or in sympathy with that party, and declared himself in iavor of prohibiting the exportation to the United States by foreign countries of their paupers and criminals, and the importation of cheap foreign labor under contract to compete with home labor.

DKTEOIT, Mich., October 17.—The best arranged reception given to Mr. Blaine, BO far, on his trip through Michigan, was at Flint. Dispensing with carriages and the paraphernalia of the procession the local committee had erected a stand on a flat-car on to -which Mr. Blaine Btepped from the train. Around the stand there was a very large and enthusiastic meeting of several thousand people. Mr. Blaine spoke hare atgreater length than usual. After calling attention to the protective tariff as the great issue of the campaign, and expressing his belief that Michigan, a state so much interested in protection, would be the lead of Ohio, he said:

I have received since I have been in this state two or three letters from persons asking me to state whether I had ever been a member of the Know-Nothing party. In con--neotion with these Inquiries from persons in Michigan I have read some telegrams from the Pacific Coast asking whether was not a supporter of Mr. Fillmore when he ran in 1866 as the native Amerioan oandidate for the presidenoy. Let me say in full and explicit reply to these Inquiries by letter and telegraph that I never was a member of the Know-Nothing ordertthat I nevervoted for a man whowasnominatedby it oither for a state or for a national office, and that instead of supporting Mr. FU1more in 1866, when I was a young man of 26, I had the nonor to be a member of the national Republican convention whioh nominated Gen. Fremont, [cheers] and as the general is now KB this platform he will be able to bear testimony that, however inefficient my support may have been, it was very earnest and very ardent. [Renewed oheers.J I was then the editor of tke Kennebec Journal, and the paper was entirely devoted to General Fremont's advoeacyand sided in giving him the Unrest majority ev cast in Maine for a £$**** oandidate pai^. [CheersO The Know-»othing order holds views n,"*""* Emigration and u*tarat*»ata«iwrthwtaA I had any sympathy and from which 1 never hesitated to express Afeeent. Bu£ in connection with that subject, let me say that there are at present three wrongs which in my judgment require correction.

First- I think that the habit which lias arown up on the part of some European counties of sending their paupers to the Unit*1 OMfaaoairht notto be longer tolerated.

to elevate the laboring man in this coontry, and secure him good wages, and if it is not for that it is not for anything, then I think the custom which some men are trying to introduce, of importing cheap contract labor from foreign countries to compete with home labor, ought to bo prohibited. (Renewed cheering.) It is a species of servitude against the spirit of our laws, and injures all who are in any way connected with it.

These are three evils that I think ought to be remedied, but as to every honest immigrant seeking to better his condition, whether he come from the British Isles or from the great German empire, from the sunny climes of the

Latin or from the brave Scandinavian of north, we bid him God-speed and give him hearty welcome and hospitality, and he is to citizenship we assure him of. protection at home and abroad. (Cheers.)' Once among ns and of as, his rights are equal before the law with those of the native born citizen. No distinction can be tolerated among those who are slothed with the honorof American citizenship. (Benewed cheer*)

At tbe conclusion of his remarks Mr. Blaine introduced Gen. Fremont as the gallant soididr who led the Republican party in its first great political conflict, whic£, though ending in nominal defeat was really the preparation for its splendid triumph four ytars later. Tbe appearance of the general was the signal for enthusiastic cheerins He returned thanks in a brief speech in the course of which he said:

Mr. Blaine has referred to the fact that he was a member of the convention that nominated me in 1856. The loyal and cordial support which I am now giving Mr. Blaine is the best testimony I can bear to what he has said, about his earnest support of me when I had the honor to be at the head of the Republican party in itB first national) campaign. [Renewed cheering.]

At Fort Huron there was a fine reception. The Rev. A. Hastings Ross read an address of welcome, to which Mr. Blaine tesponded briefly. Gen. Fremont was then introduced and made a few remarks. It was about half past seven o'clock when the train arrived at Detroit. Mr. Blaine, in com-

SEra.

any with Senator Hale, was driven to Chandler's, where he will spend the night. To-morrow he will go on through Michigan, reaching- South Bend, Ind., in the evening.

Chairman Jones. Mr. Blaine will return to New York' just as soon as he can cancel some of his western engagements. His preserit plans are to go through parts ef Illinois to Chicago, thence to Michigan, returning here towards the close of the contest. These plans, if possible, will be changed at once. Illinois is by no means a doubtful state in the present campoign. The battle is to be made by the Democrats in Indiana and New York. For this reason I think it ad-ceed visable to have Mr. Blaine here in person. He has already Won .magnificent ovations throughout the west, and ip Ohio his presence gave encouragement to thousands of voters, who have already signified their appreciation of him and his party. »,-..- ^.^.,

Mr. Calkins contracted a very severe cold several days ago. which seems to have settled on his lungs, and has also produced severe nervous prostration^, which may prove quite serious.

OBITUARY.

'4.

Sullivan, tbe Irish leader. LONDON, October 17.—Alexander M. Snllivan, the well known Irish leader and one of the founders of the home rule movement, died at Dublin this morning. ,' [Mr. Sullivan died in the 54th yearof his age, having been born in Bantry in 1830. His father was a painter, and in later days engaged in the fishing trade off the southwestern coast of Ireland. A sketch of him prepared at the timeof his visit to America in December, 1882, for the benefit of his health, accompanied by his wife, a native of Nfw Orleans, said: Young Sullivan received his education at the local national school, and early evinced strong national sympathies. When Smith O'Brien and Meaghervisited the south before the '48 rising, young Sullivan m?t them, and received encouragement from these distingushed gentlemen. After the '48 affair Sullivan went to Liverpool, where he was engaged for a time as draftsman. Some critical notices which he wrote for the Freeman's Journal attracted attention, and he was engaged for a time on the local staff of that paper. He afterward became connected with the Nation under Duffy, and when Duffy and John Cashel Hoey abandoned that paper, the former in despair for hie country, the latter, it is claimed, that he might play toady and flunkey ever after, Mr. Sullivan took charge of it. By sheer force of ability and unwearying industry he made once again a journal worthy of its founder, equaling in brilliancy, force, and variety the same paper when conducted byThomas Davis. In 1857 Mr. Sullivan, at the request of the nationalists, established a daily paper, the Morning News. This venture failed, largely owing to the hostility of the Catholic Whig party and of archbishop, afterward cardinal, Cullen. In 1859 Mr. Sullivan established the Weekly News, a penny paper, whioh soon attained an immense circulation, which it still enjoys.

pumped into the hold. The fire origi nated in cotton stored near the engine room.

At noon Wednesday the discovery was made that a portion of the cargo was on fire. The captain and other officers went below and found some cotton and hops burning. They returned to the deck nearly smothered. Water was at once poured upon the burning cargo and the fire got under control after some hours. Many passengers lent their assistance. A quantity' of the cargo was thrown overboard. The steam extinguisher did good service. From Wednesday the captain, officers, crew and passengers worked without ceasing. They were a in state of exhaustion when they arrived at Queenstown where fresh men wereshipped to relieve the crew. The fire while under control still moulders in the cotton hold. The Nevada landed seventeen passengers at Queenstown and proceeded to Liverpool. Before sailing the Nevada listed heavily to starboard and the boats partside were filled with water to aid in righting her. She left on an even keel.

It seems Wednesday the flames were subdued but again broke out Thursday night. Some of tbe officers and several of the crew were injured about the head and hands attempting to put out the fire. One officer waB entirely disabled.

An inquest has been ordered, and a large number of witnesses will be examined. There is no disposition to prosecute any one, the general verdict being that it was a righteous execution. The funeral of Mr. Burton will take place Sunday afternoon.

The coroner's jury examined twelve witnesses in the Mitchell inquest, among whom were the sheriff, policemen, and eye-witnesses of the muider and lynching. No one recognized any of the multitude who did the lynching. The verdict was substantially that the deceased was the man who murdered Mr. Burton, and that he cametohis death by hanging, at the hands of parties to the jury unknown."*«

A TERRIBLE TALE.

Brutal Killing of a Convict by a Guard in Georgia—Death Rate in a Convict Camp.

ATLANTA, Ga., October 17.—A great sensation was created throughout the State a week ago, by the killing of a convict in Lockett's camp by a negro guard. The Btory, as then told, was that a party of sixteen convicts, all under guard of armed negroes, had been sent to the Chattahoosie river, when F. M. Faulkner jumped in the river and was Bhot at by Dick Jackson, a negro. The body of the convict was found next day riddled with buckshot. The idea, even, that white convicts, were placed ii the armed power of negroes in Georgia created a thrill of indignation, which the press and people freely vented upon the convict lessees. The coroner's jury found that the killing was justifiable. Evidence was accumulated yesterday, however, which shows the crime to have been a deliberate murder. Faulkner fell in the river and cried lustly for help, and the only response he received was a charge of buckshot from a negro guard, which caused his death. Jackson has been arrested and is now in Fulton ctunty jail. The convict camp of Locketrs has always had a hard name. It is stated, as evidence of the treatment of convicts, that since February 1, out of 170 convicts, twenty have died.

Dreadful Crime lo Covington. ,-$«• "CINCINNATI, O., October 17.—The body of Mrs. Anna Madison was found in her house, Covington, this morning, on the floor.

The brutal murder of Mrs. Madison was supposed to have been perpetrated by a vengeful tramp. Popular excitement is wrought to the highest pitch. A few days ago a man called at the house for help and was refused by Mrs. Madison, when he said: "You'll hear from me in a few days."

A GREAT RALLY.

New Goshen the Scene of the Largest Bally Kver Held in Tigo County Outside of the City.

The Democrats have been deriving some consolation with the idea that there was soreness among the Republicans of Fayette township, but if the Eueeuug »r... ,-...,_ .„ was a sample of the soreness let us have more of it. It was the greatest rally ever held in Vigo county outside of Terre Haute. The Hon. James T. Johnston was present, and the majority of the Republican county candidates. The rally was gotten up by the Young Men's Republican club of New Goshen. A stand was erected in a field, and was handsomely decorated with everygreens and flags. At :30 the people began to arrive, and they continued to come until 3,000 were present. A delegation came from Clinton numbering at least 500. One feature of the Clinton procession was forty young women dressed in white and wearing Blaine caps. They carried torches, and were well drilled. In the Clinton procession were 100 men on horseback, wearing white plug hats, Sandford sent a delegation of 495. The Goshen escort met the Sandford delegation and welcomed them. The Young Women's escort of Goshen also joined the procession. Six hundred and fifty torch-bearers were in line, making a grand procession. The Clinton brass band lead the proeession, and three drum corps took part The Newport Glee club furnished excellent vocal music, and was well appreciated.

AMUSEMENTS:

Th» Pavement* of Pah-U.

The audience, though fair,- Wis not in proportion to the merits and novelty of this new and JEtriking plJ4y.T We bave plays without number'..which deal with the salons and fashion of Paris, but the I'Pavemente pi Paris'' strikes into,,a new* field,-affording greater effects and more of the contrasts and lights and .shadows which delight the romantic. The. play employs a large number of people, including many excellent actors. It is full oi stirring life and keeps the Audience constantly on the qui time, so rapidly do the scenes shift and change. Fine tableaux and brilliant scenic effects close acts, full of. life that is gay, serious or pathetic,,-, Follow-

the beautiful tableaux* A, Dream id Defense of Forbach, came that setting of the third act', showing: the gloomy, ricketty, crowded quartet of the ragpickers. This act is full of life, curious quaint characters, the Paris poor, chiffoniers*, rat-catchers,,gamins, etc. the rag-pickers' wedding, the jolly song and the lively dances combined to make this one"'of' the most striking scenes of all the modern melodramas. The most complicated and brilliant scenic effects are reserved,for the last act, into which are crowded parrot scene, a dark corridor, a gloomy cellar, from which the assassin drops into a railroad tunnel through which

lofty depot with coluMB^ahu arSieij, all alive with people, soldiers etc., appears again tbe locomotive pusses, cheerfully puffing clouds of steam, having just run over the villain. Flachon, the Vicomte, ia is a capital character, by Mr. Fosberg, who became a favorite. Bonneau by Felix Morris and Fasch, the lively Lorrainer, were extremely impetuous and popular. J. L. Morgan gives us in Lieut. Maurice a fine, manly fellow who fills the part of the heroic young lover excellently and Miss Fmily Bancker is very pleasing as Marie, the waif. A number of other characters appear to good advantage. For the matiuee to-day tbe prices of admission are to be only fifty and twentyfive cents, somewhat lower than usual for this style of play, 1
