“The majority for Robinson, for secretary of state, will be between 11,000 and 12,000, but that does not indicate tho actual Republican majority so clearly as the vote for representatives iu Congress in the several districts. Robinson was cut considerably on the liquor question, but the real ratio of political division between the two parties was shown by the congressional vote, on which, as now estimated, the Republican majority will be between IS,OOO and 19,000. The accurate figures will be given in a few days. John F. Oglevke.” Saginaw was reached about dnsk. Mr. Blaine was drawn to the Bancroft House, where he took tea. About 9 o’clock Mr. Blaine, General Fremont and General Alger, the Republican candidate for Governor, were driven to a itand in the principal square, around which were assembled several thousand people, who cheered wildly as the two distinguished gentlemen appeared. Mr. Blaine introduced Gen. Fremont as the first candidate of the Republican party, and the one whose candidacy had aroused more enthusiasm than any other. Gen. Fremont was received with great and prolonged cheering. After he had returned thanks in a brief speech, the calls for Mr. Blaine were renewed.' and in response he said: “Speaking, as I was just now, of the great enthusiasm which attended the candidacy of General Fremont, and speaking thus of the great political leaders, 1 am reminded, i could not, indeed, hut be reminded, when standing on Michigan soil, of a great loader whom you have lost since I last visited Michi gan upon a political errand. When last I traversed your State it was under tho auspices of Zachariali Chandler [great cheering], and I am sure that in that illustrious body of political loaders whom the development and progress of the Republican party produced there was not one who excelled, I do not now recall one who equaled him in the great attributes of undaunted courage, of clear and keen foresight,of great personal force, which not only secured to him a body of followers whose zeal equaled his own, but made him a terror to the opposition always, [“Good” and cheers.] But if leaders die, principles survive. [Great cheering.] And though the Republican party has lost Chandler and many others of the great men whofonnded it, the party itself still lives, and its principles are as national to-night as they were when they stirred the hearts of those great men who laid broad and deep tho foundation of its success and its perpetuity. [Cries, •You are right,’ and * cheers.] We stand now near the close of a national strupglo, a struggle which involves much to tho people of Michigan, a struggle iu ■which Michigan will have an important and influential voice. [Cheers.] Ail political campaigns begin with many issues, and nearly -ill] political campaigns end with only one issue. The progress "of discussion eliminates nonessential questions, and those of minor importance, and finally the parties druggie ovir the one absorbing and controlling issue. That issue now is, whether this country shall maintain a protective tariff. [Cries: ‘That’s what v.e want,’ and cheers] That question is the one which vitally affects the prosperity of Michigan, and, therefore, I assume ;hat when I refer to that issue, I refer to one hi which you take a deep interest Are thq people of Michigan in favor of protection? Many voices: ‘Yes.’ ‘Yes.’] Gr are they in „v>r of free trclcl [Loud cries of ‘No,’‘No.’] I lieu, if you are for protection and against free fade, you will vote the Republican ticket, because" to vote the Democratic ticket is to suv port the party which for fifty-one years has rl'v.’.Hy opposed protection, and that t know you will not do. [Cries, ‘No,’‘No.’] You will pardon me for saying that you can make your will felt iu tho moat emphatic, diroct nmi conclusive manner by supporting your rep c-iitutive in Congress. [Cheers for Horr. | That is where the popular voice is* l.card, and you know as well as I

know that there has been no more consistent and courageous upholder of the doctrine of protection than my distinguished friend, Mr. Horr, who now sits besido me. (Cheers. ( Therefore, if the voters of this district prefer high wages in America to low wages; if they prefer home manufactures to foreign raainifacttier-: if they desire prosperity at their own firesides, they will support the representative who has been faithful; and not only faithful, but intelligent; not only intelligent, but zealous. Good night. [Three cheers for Blaine and Horr.] After Mr. Blaine and General Fremont retired, Senator Hale addressed the meeting at length.

CHOVER OI.EVBI.AND. The Visit to Brooklyn, mid How He Was Receive:! by Ills Admirers. New Yoke, Oct. 1(1.—-At an early hour this morning the organizations which wore to take part in the reception of Governor Cleveland in Brooklyn to day assembled at their respective headquarters from all parts of the city. They marched with flags and banners flying to tho stations assigned them in the streets adjoining the entrance to the East-river bridge, where they fell into lino and awaited tho arrival of the guest of the day. All the space for blocks about the bridge entrance was thronged with citizens waiting to welcome tho candidate. The chairman of the campaign committee, ex-Senator Murtha, with others of tho committee, the chairman of the Young Democrats and independent Republicans, received the Governor when he arrived in his carriage on the Brooklyn side of tho bridge, The vast throng of people assembled cheered enthusiastically, and above the deafening roar rose the piercing shrieks of hundreds of steam whistles from stoamboats and tngs on the river. The bueinosa houses and private residences in the neighborhood were deeorated with bunting, and every window was filled with men and women. Tho men added their voices to those of the cheering throng below, and hundreds of white hand.Kercldefs fluttered in the hands of the ladies. Standing up in his open barouche, the Governor bowod his acknowledgments in response to the greeting accorded him, and looked upon the enthusiastic throng with a pleased smile. His expression was one of entire self-possession, satisfaction and quiet confidence. The Governor’s carriage took its place in the line, the uniformed organizations assumed their positions, the bands struck up lively marching airs nnd tho procession moved toward the Pierrepont House through streets lined with crowded and cheering spectators, and beneath flags and banners swung in tho breeze from the houses along tho ronto. As cheer after cheer broke out, and thousands of ladies at open windows waved their handkerchiefs, the Governor rejieatedly bowed on either side in response to the hearty greetings. The plaza surrounding the Cit.y Hall was densely thronged, and from the building Itself waved the national and State colors in honor of the city’s guest. Governor Cleveland was driven to the Pierrepont House, where a large number of people awaited his arrival, among them many of the most distinguished men of this State. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was also present, and was heartily cheered. After shaking hands with a large number of people introduced to him, the Governor was escorted to the Art Assembly rooms connected with the Academy of Music, on Montague street. The building was handsomely decorated with bunting and evergreens, and was densely thronged. The street was also crowded to its utmost capacity. As the Governor appeared on the street, on his way to the Academy, he was again cheered by thousands of voices. On entering the building he was surroundod by those awaiting to greet him. and for some time he was kept busy shaking the bands of citizens presented to him. The procession reached the park at 2:10 amid the cheers of the vast crowd already on the ground. The arrival of Governor Cleveland at the main entrance was the signal for a salute of one hundred guns. The enthusiasm was intense, and so great was the crowd that it was with some difficulty the procossion could enter tho inclosure. Tho committee of arrangements had a largo force of men employed from early morning, and everything was in readiness to receive tho diitiuguisnod guests. A large banner was thrown across tho street in front of tho hotel, with full-sized portraits of the candidates and the words, “The Choice of Kings County." At the entrance to the park was a largearch gaily trimmed with flags and banners. The hotel was literally covered with patriotic emblems. Prom every window was suspended flags, and long streamers of bunting hung from the roof to the ground, arranged in many tasteful designs. Under an arch of welcome passed the procession, the Governor and party proceeding immediately to tho grand stand and the other divisions taking their positions in front of the remaining four stands. A large brass band on tho stand in the center plaza played “Hail to the Chief "as the advanced division passed along tho main avenue. It was nearly half an hour before tho speaking began. The principal attraction was in the vicinity of tho grand stand, about. 400 feet from the enhance. It was thirty by sixty feet in size, and accommodated nearly 100 people. Tho American flag covered the stand aud was draped gracefully in front and on the sides. Banners of all kinds and flags and pennants of every natiou were displayed to good advantage. The decorations were not only elaborate but exceedingly effective in design. Governor Cleveland was escorted to a seat in the center of tho platform amid tumultuous cheers. The Governor gracefully bowed his acknowledgements, and took his seat while further preparations were being made. A formal address of welcome was made by Augustine Van Wyek, chairman of the Democratic general committee. When Governor Cleveland rose to reply, he was greeted with a tremendous cheer. He spoke as follows: “Among the many invitations to visit different points, the most of whieh I have felt obliged to decline, came one from my Brooklyn friends to meet them and bo their guest to-day. This I oonld not decline, because I could not forgot the kindness I had received at the hands of the people of this city, and the generous and hearty support they gave me when, a stranger to them, I was a candidate for the suffrages of the people of our State, aud, whether 1 am justified in the sentiment or not, I feel toward the city of Brooklyn in a degree as one feels towards his home. (Applause. ] In the midst of such intelligent thought and independent political sentiment as prevail here, it would be presumptuous if it were otherwise proper for me to refer in a spirit of partisanship to the pending political campaign. [Applause and cheers. J This vast assemblage and the intense enthusiasm which prevaues its overy part fuilv evidence your belief that thoro is involved in this canvass something of great importance to your interest and wolfare. When this feeling is generally aroused, and when it leads to calm investigation and deliberate inquiry, there is no danger that the people will make a mistake in their determination of the issue. (Applause.) Our institutions will be maintained in their integrity, and the benign influences of a popular government will fill the remotest corner of tlio land, when all our citizens, from the highest to the humblest, shall feel that this is their government, that they are responsible for its proper administration, and tiiat they cannot safely neglect it or follow blindly and thoughtlessly the lead of self-consti-tuted and selfish leaders. (Applause. ] I shall say no more, except, to express my appreciation of the kindness of the pc-ople of Brooklyn, shown in all they have done for me in tho past, and return my thanks to all here assembled for their kind greeting, with the declaration that no man and no party can ask more than such examination as you will give their claims to public confidence." j Cheers and applause. | The following telegram from Samuel J. Tilden, was then read: “Gkrvstonk, Yoalrors, N. Y., Oct 21. “It would give me great pleasure to meet my follow-citizens of the county of Kings, to whom I am grateful for their generous support, which they gave me throughout my whole public life; but 1 regrot that the delicate oondition of my health oompols me to forego the gratification of being present on the interesting occasion to which you have invited me. Cordially sympathizing with tho object of yeur festivity, I remain your fellow-citizen, ' “Samuel J. Tilpkn." Gen. George B. McClellen was hero introduced,

and was accorded a rousin® welcome. His audience wore entirely with him when he said: ‘Tam satisfied that the people of this country cun safely intrust to Governor Clevolnud all the best interests of the land, for he pososses courage*, honesty, ami ability to perform every function of tho presidential office as it ought to be performed. 1 see in men's faces,” he continued, “the same conviction which I feel myself, and that is. that the. man behind me [Governor Cleveland} will be the next President of the United States." The cheering hero was most vociferous. It was expected that Mr Hendricks, tho Democratic candidates for the vice-presidency, would be present to share the weleomo given Mr. Cleveland, hut he did not come. There wore four other stands from which addresses were to bo delivered, each of which had a definite programme .assigned it, but the demonstration was so vast that the programme got beyond control of tho committee. All the stands were in use at one time or another, but many of the speakers announced before hand wero missing. For instance, EdwarlM. Shepard was chairman at stand No. 4, and the speakers assigned wero Congressman Samuel J. Randall, Governor Robert Mel jane of Maryland, John P. Stockton of New Jersey, William Wallace, of Pennsylvania, It. T. Jones of Louaiaua, aud General fiL It. Haruum. When Mr. Shepherd, as chairman, had finished his opening address, there was not one of the above mentioned speakers on hand. They were in or about the park somewhere, but they were lost, to the chairman and to tho meeting at the stand. P. Hooker Read, of Louisville, Ky., came to the roscae. and was followed by Governor Leon Abbot, of New Jersey, who had just come around in search of stand No. 3, to which he had been assigned. Among the speaker® at the other stands were Governor Wallor, of Connecticut, and Governor Pattison. of Pennsylvania. It would seem that some of tho orators looked upon the speaking as a secondary consideration, and certain it Is that many non-orators looked upon the mutter in that light Tho barbecue was hold at the furtbor end of the park. Three woodon inclosures had been erected, and within them, on gigantio spits, three oxon wero stretched over glowing coals. The three carcasses weighed in the aggregate G. 700 pounds. The first one lmd been put on the spit at midnight and was done to a turn by 10 o’clock. The otlver two had been put on at 4 in the morning and were done in time to follow the fate oi tho first. As the meat was ready it was carved oil the bones in great chunks and taken into a bowling alley and placed on lons tables, whore it was cut up into sandwiches and. distributed in neat wooden boxes. It cost the police great efforts to keep tho eager, surging mass in line, and aa each person passed by the open places on tho side of the bowling nlfrey he received his box of sandwich. There was, naturally, some confusion, aud at one time one of tho wooden inclosures was broken down by the excited crowd-, but everybody was served with a thick chunk es bre.vd and meat ns long as it held out, which was till nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The barbecue was a groat success, and was productive of much fun as well as physical satisfaction.

Chicago, Oct 16.—Senator Logan arrived at homo to-day, after several weeks’ absence at the East He was driven to tho residence of Postmaster Palmer, whore a number of persons called upon him.

INCONSISTENT BEECHER. He Is Ably Analyzed by a Brother Clergyman. tk>rref*pondenco b'ow York Commercial-Advertiser. I am surprised at the prominence given to Mr. Henry Ward Beecher's opinions in this political canvass. Os what possible value can they be to anybody but himself? His sentiments upon all subjects oliange so often that, to keep pace with him, one would need to be as spry as a Western man with his weapon in a tavern fight During the past few years he has held aud taught many things, not only not harmonious, but mutually self-destructive. In these nobody can agree with him, for the excellent reason given by the boy for not counting tho last little pig with the rest: “He won’t hold still long onougli to let mo count him.” He is, on the whole, in favor of the Bible; but denies the authenticity of a large part of it. His theory of inspiration (like a good many of his other theories) holds water like a sieve. The doctrines of religion aro interpreted by him in such a Pickwickian (that is to say Beecherian) sense, that there is very little left of them, and a creed formulated by him would be the greatest curiosity in tho history of doctrines. lie is iu favor of the Sabbath, with the understanding, howeyer, that everyone shall keep it or not, as he soos fit. He thinks that there may be a hell, hut, according to his conception of it, ho must he an exceedingly slow sinner who is not nimble enough to juirp through the very large hole which he leaves open for his exit. His talents aro unquestionable and unquestioned, but his stability and consistency are both minus qualities. And, as in religion, so in politics. Asa counselor, he is at .ill times and under all circumstances most unsafe and unsatisfactory. To attemnt to follow him is like making fast to the tail of a kite in the teeth of a tornado. If ho should attempt to follow himself he would find his own trail as crookod as the Mohawk river. Yet he is never conscious of any incongruity in his opinions and teachings. Such mon never aro. They have a sublime faith in themselves. There they never chango. Men who Within tho apano of one revolving gun. Fight and imike peace; abandon every gun, And then declare the war wna only fun. For those reasons Mr. BeccheFs ideas of the presen! political contest will have no power to change a single vote. A vast majority of his own congregation are against him. They admire him as a pulpit orator, but they distrust him —and with reason—ns a leader. The simple truth is, old Dr. Lyman Beecher, a man whose name is respected, and his memory revered in the land, had born unto him a son named Henry Ward, who is in all things the opposite of his distinguished father. Now, in his day. Dr. Lyman Beecher was a model of cautious faith, logical reasoning, and inflexible principles.

Tho Question of Pensions —Call fora National Convention, To Be Held iu This City. The following correspondence, which carries its own explanation, needs no comment tocommend it to a careful reading by every man who served tho Union in the late war. Watkktown, Me., Sept. 25. 1881. lion. B. F. Jones, Chairman Republican National Committee, New Yorkoity: Dear Sir: Two thousand Grand Army Posts have petitioned Congress for the enactment of a law granting service pensions to Union soldiers. Through that organization, and in other ways fully 250.000 veterans have asked for the adoption of that measure. On behalf of these petitioners, I desire to invite the attention of your committee to this subject. None appreciate more fully or acknowledge more heartily than do the Union veterans tiiat the United States government has most liberally treated our comrades who suffer from wounds or other manifest physical injury, lint the fact remains tiiat a very large percentage of lowgrade disability pension claims are rejected, because of the impossibility of obtaining the evi- | donee required by the stringent rules of the Pension Office, and this operates very unfairly to the majority of meritorious claimants whose claims have been rejected, or which aro now pending. Tho almost universal penalty paid by the veterans who performed arduous field service, marched to exhaustion, exposed to extremes of heat and cold, subjected to malaria in the swamps of the South, where they iay at times for months, was impaired health, broken constitutions. lowered vitality, exhausted energies and shortened lives. While all this is painfully apparent to themselves, it may not always he manifest to medical examination made at the present day. Such examination cannot determine the physical deterioration of men from what theii condition would now be if they had not rendered faithful service iu the field. It is a fact tiiat not one man in a thousand came from the war uninjured by Iris service. This is the main ground upon which our claims for service pensions rest. Wo waive the questions of claims to the gratitude of the Republic, the unfairness in the failure to equalize bounties, the paying of monthly pay mainly in forty-cent dollars, and ask simple justice to those who have given to the country much for which they have not received an equiv alent I trust the reasons adduced will warrant your committee, representing the great national party which has stood as our friend in the past, in extending your aid tothe Union veterans in their efforts to secure a recognition of their claim to iustice. Very respoctfully, your obedient servant, P. W. Haskki.u. KKFI.Y or THU ItEPL'BMCAff COMMITTEE. Major F. tV. ltaakell, Waterville, Me. Nkw York City, Sept 27, 1884. Dear Sir: The Republican national committee have directed us to say iu reply to your letter of tho 25th inst. that the Republican party favors to day. as in the past, full and substantial justice and liberality to the men, who, by their sufferings and sacrifice, saved the Union, and we point with pride to the fact that it was the Republican party which sustained you while iu tho

field, and which has provided liberally for the families of those who fell The national committee is not able to say that tho party will favor the indiscriminate pensioning of all the survivors on tho same basis, without regard to the character of the service rendered, time of service, or its effect upon them. But we (lo feel authorized to say that whenever the authorized representatives of the soldiers shall have matured a plan by which pensions may bo given to all who rendered adequate service, or are now in need, the past record of the Republican party is ample assurance that such a measure will have its unqualified support. Respectfully, B. F. Jones, Chairman. Samul'l Fessenden, Secretary. Call for a Mass Convention. New York City, Oct 1. 1884. To Sly Comrades, the Union Yetraus of ths late Wan In your behalf, authorized by the Boston veteran's committee, I have brought the subject of service pensions to the notice of the national committees of both of the great political parties. Geu. Butler, tho candidate of tho People’s party, has already publicly expressed himself :is strongly favorable to a most generous policy in this direction. I found the Democratic national committee unwilling to make an official declaration on this subject, although, bt urine a very kind introductory letter from Gen. Collins, of Boston, I received the utmost personal courtesy. 1 have no doubt, however, that my brother war-Domocrats of the Union forces, in whose brave hands the flag was always safe, will speak as a unit on this subject, and to their especial attention I address my words, asking their zealous co-operation in the work in hand. The Republican national committee desired to make an expression, and it is herewith presented to you. I place this correspondence and statement of facts before my comrades, and address them not as one in authority, but simply as a comrade, exercising the unquestioned right which every man has, to speak to his fellows upon subjects of common concern. Knowing that every veteran in the land we love and which we saved from disunion shares with me tho deepest solicitude for the best interests of our brother soldiers, and feeling that tins subject of just pensions to those who sorely need and richly deserve them is to us a principle as far above and beyond partisan politics as are the stars above the cart)., I suggest that we assemble together in mass convention at Indianapolis, Ind., on Thursday, Oct. 24. at 12 o’clock, m., and there discuss this quostion in a self-re-specting, temperate and patriotic spirit, and choose a representative committee, into whoso hands may be authoritatively given the subject of pensions, with instructions to urge before Congress, by all honorable means, such measures as may be deemed just. Recognizing in our deliberations the fact that all public measures mUM. depend for success upon a favorable public opinion—it will be our duty to present our reasons and arguments, to listen thoughtfully to suggestions from the press and people, to weigh well all facts and take such action concerning an amended pension law as will appeal to the fair, candid and generous judgment of the country at large, and secure for it popular support. Let this convention be, in the broadest sense, representative of all Union veterans, regardless of party, creed, color, rank or soldier society organizations, none of which latter contain a majority of tho Union soldiers and sailors. To this meeting all comrades, whether members of the G. A. R., Union Veteran Army, Boys in Blue, Loyal Legion, or other kindred organizations, and those belonging to none, are most fraternally invited. Observation and experience has taught us that at such a time as tho present—shortly before important elections —the public sense is alert, sympathetic and responsive. It is, of all times, the fittest to test the merits of any publio measure. It has been usual for such a call as this to bear tho names of many distinguished generals, but the present occasion seems so clearly to demand an expression from the great body of veterans themselves, not from a few leaders, that I put forth this call, confident that my comrades, influenced by the idea involved more than by the signatures of any men, however eminent, will respond, and themselves direct and control this, their own movement and their own convention. All who apDrovo this movement are requested to immediately communicate the fact to me at the Sturtevant House, New York city, that a roll of names may be prepared and published which shall command the respect of the entire country. F. W. Haskell/ A pretty shade for a chandelier globe is made of a band of bright satin ribbon two inches wide, gathered slightly at the upper edge to fit just above the largest part of the globe. The lower edge is bordered with antique lace about three inches in width, finished with a fringe of embroidery silk, of the color of the ribbon, knotted with its pointed or scalloped edge. A chandelier of three globes should have shades to correspond with the color of the furniture—one with ribbon and fringe of crimson, another of yellow, and the third of dull blue. A pretty gift is that of a pen-wiper made in the form of a pansy. Pick a pansy in the garden, take it apart carefully, and cut an exact pattern of its leaves. Then you may enlarge this to please yourself. Tho leaves should be of velvet with markings in embroidery silk. The edges should be lightly buttonholed, beneath these upper leaves the real pen-wiper lies; it is of small atul fine flannel leaves; cut the edges in tiny points so that they will not fray. Sliced carrots and oats figure largely in the food given to sheep in Vermont. The sheep of that State are said to eat more of oats than of any other grain.
