because he had shown himself in any'way Sited for the high office of President., but because he / -presented English interests, English preju dieies and English principles, and would, in the high office of President, as he has in the office of Governor of New York, subordinate the laws of the country and the rights and interests of the people to the wishes of New York monopolists and English dudes who secured his nomination, and are now asking his election. Again, I cannot support Mr. Cleveland, representing as he does, the free-trade or English e’ ynents of both political parties. I cannot blind myself to the fact that protection has built up this country and made it the busy hive of industry that it is; and I am satisfied that to protection we must look for the growth of our country, the prosperity of our people, and the happiness of our homes. For one I cannot consent to the accomplishment of free-trade and the consequent destruction of our industries, thereby exchanging the happiness and prosperity of our people for wretchedness and discontent. Severing my connection then, with, you, gentlemen, I shall join the ranks of James G. Blaine, that great and good man. who has always stood up for the people, and who never failed to speak out in thundering tones against monarchies who denied the rights of American citizens. In such a man —the champion of the people, the hero and idol of the voting masses, the man who in point of statesmanship towers above his opponent as a giant towers above a pigmy, I can rest the safety and welfare of my country. I do not take this step blindfolded nor in disre gard of personal friendships. lam alive to all the consequences of Republican defeat, and even now keenly feel the loss of friends whom I shall alienate, but the first duty of a citizen is to his country; and when he sees in the triumph of a particular party the inauguration of vicious principles and the elevation to office and power of men inimitable to the popular form of government, he must, as a patriot, forget party affiliation, personal friendships and self interests, and fly to the safety of his country. Actuated and impelled by these motives I must declare myself for James G. Blaine as against Grover Cleveland. With much respect, I remain, yours truly, Will A Kearney. A RALLY AT CRAWFORDSVILLE.

INDIANA A Shortage of #28,000 in the Treasury of Montgomery County. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. CRAwroßnsvitLE, Aug. 16.—The committee appointed by the county commissioners to investigate tho books of County Treasurer Goben have just completed their work, and find that his shortage aggregates $28,000. The investigation shows a very loose style of business on the part of the treasurer, and no system at all. lie has had as his deputy Charles Johnson, as honest a young man as can be found in the county. Goben accused Johnson of dishonesty, and demanded the keys of the office. They were at ouce handed over, and Johnson demanded that the charge of dishonesty be investigated. Goben and Johnson met in the auditor's office to-day, and on being publicly charged by Goben with being dishonest, Johnson attacked him and beat him considerably. The trouble is attributed to Goben’s generosity, and to his liberal responses to every appeal for aid. A friend could be accommodated to any sum from $1 to $5 on application. He spent money lavishly, kept a fast horse and negro driver, lived in a fine residence, and kept no account of the money he used. The end is not yet. A Fatal Mistake.

SCIENCE IN THE FAR NORTH. (Concluded from First Page.] charges come upon me with awful suddenness. I can truthfully sav that I have suffered more mental anguish these last fsw days than I did in all my sojourn at the north, when the chances were a hundred to one against me. I can but repeat, if there was any cannibalism, and there now seems to be no doubt about it, the man-eat-ing was done in secrecy and entirely without my knowledge, and contrary to my discipline. I can give no stronger denial. T have demanded an investigation, and it will come In time, but I can say nothing more than I have already stated. All my papers, and Kislingbury’s diary, Lock wood's diary, and. in fact, every scrap of paper relating to the expedition, are in charge of the War Department at Washington. “The crow of the Thetis can testify that the, body of the last man that died (Snyder) was not mutilated in any way, and the fact that we kept Allison- alive in the hopeless state we were in ought, to convince anybody tbat we are not can nibals. Since my return from Newburyport every one of my men has called upon me and assured me emphatically they knew nothing about the condition of the bodies of their fallen comrades, and eaeh solemnly swore he was innocent. Perhaps those who died last fed upon the bodies of those who died first: but all this is supposition. I can but answer for myself and for my orders to the party. For days and weeks I lay on my back unable to move. If, in my enfeebled condition, one or more of my men fed upon human flesh it was beyond my control, and certainly beyond my knowledge. 1 know I have been criticised for not telegraphing tho fact of shooting Henry as soon as I arrived at St. Johns, but you must remember I was in a wretched condition of body and mind. I was in a quandary whether I should be tried for murder, as Henry was shot on my own responsibility, aud not by order of a regular court-martial. ” SKILLFUL CARVING. The Flesh ffi Removed from the Bodies in a Workman-Like Manner. New York, Aug. 16.—Until the death of Dr. Pavey, of the Greely party, J one 6, the flesh eut from most of the bodies was removed by a hand skilled in dissection. A few of the bodies had the fleshy portions cut away entirely, but with majority tho work had been so well done that a casualohserver would not have suspected, without other evidence —of which there was plenty, however —that the survivors had been reduced to cannibalism, and for a long time been subsisting principally on the bodies of their deail comrades. It is not a coincidence that tho body of Dr. Pavey. with those of two others who died after him, should be reported as washed away. With Surgeon Pavey gone, the scalpel could not be used. Before the bodies had been left with little mark of the terrible work done. After his death the survivors were forced to dismember the bodies. and denude them of flesh in a way that left nothing bnt bones. So these unfortunates were reported as buried in an ice floe and washed away. Ou most of the bodies the scalpel was passed under the ekin. the lap laid back, the flesh removed. the skin pulled back in place, and the edges joined so that there was no external evidence of the work. No one in the party, except the surgeon, could so skillfully remove the flesh, and leave the skin intact. How Pavey met his death has not been explained, but it was probably by the knife. With him gone, snd every day the pangs of hunger growing more unbearable. the caution was relaxed, and the survivors ate of human flesh however they could easiest secure it. In the last days, before relief came, all sense of honor and of feeling had been lost. HOW TAVY MET HIS DEATH. He Died by His Own Handanil Was Eaten by the Survivor*. New York Special. One of the junior officers of the Greely relief fleet said to-day: “You may think the shooting of Henry was sad enough, hut infinitely more pathetic was the death of Dr. Pavv. To lie there on his couch and see the hungry eye 6 of his stronger comrades gloating over his wasted form and praying for his death was enough to drive a well man mad. And so it drove this poor, sick doctor to his death. He died by his own hand that the starving devils-about him might have one more meal. The very day that Henry was condemned to die Surgeon Pavy took his own life. The despairing little company had split up into two factions, both clamoring for the death of someone that the others might live. With all his strength of character. Lieutenant Greely was forced to yield to the demands of these mad wretches, and with heavy heart issued the order that took Henry from his living comrades and placed his flesh at the mercy of the uieu who but a few minutes before had called him brother. This faction took the body of the dead man and kept guard over it in the grave yard on the hill. They had meat for several days, and they meant to guard with jealous watchfulness their grave-yard din-ing-room. The other faction down by the sea were without even a handful of shrimps. They knew the grave yard on the hill contained a corpse, and with loud murmurs of discontent declared that someone of their party m'ist suffer for the rest Dr. Pavy was the weakest of them all. About his dying couch they clustered, and sat for hours unmoved, catching each breath, and hoping tbat his death might not be long delayed. The mute appeal of those wild, hungry eyes, pleading for an early death, was too much for him, and with a last despairing effort he rushed down to the sea aud was picked up dead. Almost before the heart liad eeased to beat, before the corpse was cold, those mad men—for they were mad—rushed upon the body, and with their sailors’ sheath-knives dug into the warm flesh. They stripped long shreds of flesh and skin from off the bones while yet the muscles quivered with the life that had just gone out These ghastly, dripping morsels they carried to the little fire, and, hardly waiting till the chunks of meat turned brown, tore them with their teeth"—and with a weary sigh the officer went down into his cabin.

TUB CASE OF KISLINGBURY. An Investigation Shows that He Feasted off His Companions. Rochester/S. Y.)Baecil. When the body of Lieutenant Kislingbury was reintorred yesterday in the grave at Meant Hope, certain portions were retained by the physicians, who were requested by the friends of the dead man to make minute examination in order to discover whether there was any evidence that Kislingbury had himself devoured the flesh of his companions who had died before him. The dispatches yesterday contained the statement that fecal matter had been discovered in the intestines, and also a ball of what appeared to be a hairy substance. This was supposed to be sealskin that the man, in hie awful suffering, had eaten just previous to his death. The investigation was continued to-day with the following result: The fecal matter taken from the large intestine was foimd to bo composed of hair, woody and vegetable fiber, minuto shells (not scales) and muscle and flesh. Os this there can be no mistake. Hair and shells predominate. In the mass of what appears to be the stems of moss were seen the muscle, which has the appearance of the end of a severed tendon. The fact.is thought to be quite suggestive and points very conclusively to tiie fact Sat Kislingbury himself was forced to partake of the flesh of his dead comrades, as he : later on became food for the survivors. The relatives of the dead man were fearful that this result would be shown, but they wanted the truth to be established at any cost William H. Kislingbury, one of Hie brothers, said: “I should have felt better to have known that Fred had never touched the flesh of any of his companions.” It seems certain, in view of what has been brought to light in regard to Kislingbury's body, that the official investigation so loudly called for will hate to h^reld. CANNIBALISM A NECESSITY. Engineer Melville Says It Was Apparent that the Dead Were Eaten. Interview In Brooklyn Union. When asked What he thought of the digging up of the body of Lieut Kislingbury, he said: “I am sorry it was done. His relatires ought to have bad soase enough to lot the matter rest

They might have known after what has been said and written of late that they would find a mutilated body. Greely and his companions could not have lived as long as they did unless they ate the flesh of the men who died. It was only natural that they should do this. They aid not kill their companions in order to eat themthey only ate them after they wer > dead. I cannot say when they began to devour the dead. They had provisions enough to last them until March. Greely had other provisions for ten days hidden away. These he kept, hoping to reach Littleton island with them. These reserve provisions were dealt out to the men just as soon as the others were gone. When the last had been eaten they had nothing but starvation before them. "It has been said by some people who did not know what they were talking about that because De Lone and his companions preferred death rather than eat each other, that Greely and his men shonld have done the some. But the two vases are entirely different. DeLong and liis men froze and starved to death in a few days, while these poor wretches had to go through slow starvation. “The officers of the relief fleet have refused to make any statement regarding tho eating of the dead because it was none of the public’s business. It has been said we were ordered to keep our mouths shut. We received no such order; we did not talk because wo thought it best to keep still. These things should alwavs go through the regular official channel The "public has no business to want to know things before they come out in this way. D n the public, anyway. We are under orders to our superior officers and not to il. We are only responsible to the government. These garbled up stories that are printed in the papers do not amount to anythine. anyway. Take the De Long business. There were plenty of people willing enough to talk before an investigation: then they had a great deal to say. But when they were put on the stand it was found they knew nothing. In regard to this Greely business what do we know? We did not see these men eaten. The survivors never acknowledged that they had devoured their comrades. We have only our opinions, and what are they worth? If I was placed before a military tribunal I should be very circumspect in what I said.” POLITICAL MATTEIiS. Gen. Logan Arrives at Chautauqua anil Receives an Enthusiastic Greeting. CHAUTAUQUA, N.
