Ilovey was introduced in a neat little apeeoh by Mr. Wm. C. Weir, and began his adt dress. He eomplained at the outset of hoarse ness, and continued for three-quarters of an hour, when he was forced to desist. The greater portion cf his remarks were devoted to the subj jeet of pensions. He reiterated his position in favor of a general act pensioning very surviving soldier, at tbe same time granting him 160 acres of land, and showed that every pension measure on the national statutes was passed by Republican "votes and opposed almost invariably by the united strength of the Democratic South. After exposing the falseness of the Democracy's claim to the friendship of the soldier, General Hovey passed to a consideration of the tariff. He referred to tbe faet that the floors at Castle Garden swing inward, not outward, and inquired ? why there was not more immigration to freetrade eountriea if free trade is ao desirable. At this point tbe speakers lungs became so oppressed that he was compelled to J discontinue, and he was followed by Jjlon. Clark E. Carr, who dealt in his usual happy manner with the topics of the .-day, drawing forth round after round of apfcpTeuse by his eloquence and humor. The day, on the whole, was a signal success. A marked feature was tbe enthusiasm with whleh the old soldiers received their former comrade, uen.

The local Democracy have Industriously advertised a labor meeting for this evening at the opera-house in this eity. A display notice appeared in the Democratic paper . led another was circulated in the form of a faming poster, stating that one Capt R. S. Jacks, State master workman of the K. of L., would address the laboring men. In this deceptive manner it was hoped to draw a mixed audi ence to be abused by a rank Democratic speech from Jacka The job was exposed by tbe Republican evening paper, and it was further repudiated and decounced by the local assembly, K. of L.. which issued ana circulated the following notice ATTXITTION WORKDf GMXn! 5tafeMater Worlrman Jacks, of the K. of I. who. is advertised to speak in tbe opera-hou to-night, having failed to notify the executive board f Equity Assembly, No. 7111)0. of his intention to acemlc here, the master workman and members of this assembly disclaim any knowledge of the motives which prompt Mr. Jacks to speak in Kokomo. and beliere. sho-la he d-i so. the subject of hi iLcoar will not be of bnetit or interest to the K. of L. caa&e. By order, Y. It. Bogue, . Master "Workman Equity Assembly. The exposure was complete, and the job acted &i a boomerang.

Wilson, of Washington, D. C, ex -judge and ex-Congressman from the old "Burnt District addressed the people at this place, yesterday afternoon. Fully two thousand were present, and his old friends gave him a most eordial reception.

He closed with an eloquent tribute to General Harrison. Judge Wilson will speak at a Center of points in the fourth district and wherever be goes should be given large meetings, as he does effective srork. The Democrats are still enforcing their censorship oJr mails. Recently a letter mailed at Liberty, directed to tbe Republican State central committee, was clipped open, and the contents extracted somewhere between Liberty and the Indianapolis postomce, the directed envelope being delivered to the addressee. Outrage by Democrats fpecial t the Indianapolis Journal. Clxbmont, Oct. 9. There was a disgraceful exhibition of drunken Democracy here last eight Congressman Bynum was advertised to peak, and before the meeting a crowd of toughs from Brownsburg, Pittsboro And this ricinity determined to take down a motto which the Republicans have had stretched across tbe street for several weeks. They got abjy from Brownsburg. Otis Duncan by name, to climb a tree to which one end of the motto was fastened, and guarded him with drawn revolvers while he did the dirty work. The Democrats claimed that the Republicans had said that they must march under the motto, but from the fact that when the motto was down the mob turned and went to the meeting without passing under where it was, it is evident this was only an excuse. The better class of Democrats in Clermont are much disgusted over Vr occurrence, and the Republicans are jest! Indignant The latter showed xnneh forbearance in net resenting the insult, but it was deemed best not to engage in a quarrel with a drunken mob.

Mr. Jay, the circuit minister, arrived, and in order to enliven the proceed ings, too o3 his coat and played a fiddle for the dancers. About 4 o'clock in the morning the company dispersed, and Rev. Mr. Jay, who had noticed the quarrel between the couple, determined to walk home with them in order to effect a reconciliation. While they were passing a field a ferocious Texan steer charged upon them. Simpson was the first to see the beast and took refuge in a tree near by, closely followed by Miss Miranda and the minister. The latter gave the young lady a boost into a second tree and himself climbed a third. They remained in this predicament for half an hour, when tbe couple, badly frightened at the fierce actions of tbe animal and fearing death, asked the minister to marry them. Accordingly Mr. Jay read the marriage ceremony from his impromptu,-pulpit in the tree, while tho couple with great difiicolty joined bands from tbeir unpleasant positions. A farmer's wagon passed by soon and the three descended and went home. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson gare an informal reception last night. Attacked by a Vampire. -Montg omerr ( Ala.) Special. Mr. W. D. Newman, of Greenorke. visiting relatives at Elba, Ala., met with a remarkable and strange adventure. While out wildcat hunting with some friends, v about three miles below Elba, on the Pea river, in a dense part of a forest, suddenly something dropped from a limb of a tree on Mr. Newman, completely encircling and enveloping his bead. It lacerated his cheek, bit one ear off and almost severed the left jugular vein. Mr. Newman fell prostrated, after being unmercifully bitten, aud Uy bleeding profusely until his friends, Jesse Cox and Frank Hotter, came to bis rescue, striking the infuriated animal with the buts of their cuds, their dog covering and ultimately killing it. It proved to be a kind of ferocious animal never seen before in this latitude on tho order of a catamount, but had a web from front to bind quarters, like a flying squirrel; had a face almost fiat a little concaTc, and teeth three inches long, very large, protruding eyes, short, stiff hair, a web foot like a dock, but long, sharp claws and very short legs. It weighed twenty-six pounds after being killed. It Is believed to be a cross between a vampire and a wildcat Three years ago a vampire escaped from a circus in that section. Mr. W. D. Newman was conveyed to Beard's Hotel, at Elba, and there attended by Dr. Rushing, and, although seriously ill, it is thought he will recover. The dead animal has been put in alcohol and will be exhibited. Three "Ways of Spelling It r Pittfibnnj Chronicle. 'Daniel." "Ys, sire."

ConkMng. of New Yorr, a nephew of the late Senator Conkling, is now in Utica, examining the correspondence, scrapbooks and papers of his nnc'ie, for use in his biography, which he expect to publish next year. A representative of the Herald talked with Mr. Conkling yesterday in regard to the efforts of a few "ultra" stalwarts to defeat Harrison and Morton, on the alleged ground that, in tbe event of his election, General Harrison would appoint Mr. Blaine to be Secretary of State. Mr. Conkling said: 'I am very much 1 favor of the Republican candidates, and pisdiet that they will receive the support of many Democratic wage-earners in addition to the full party vote. In answer to recent attempts to alienate Ros eoe Conklicg's political friends by reviving his differeneea with Blaine in 1SGC, Alderman Conkling spoke as follows: "I cannot see why any man, who has ever called himself a Republican, or a protectionist can refuse to vote for Harrison and Morton. Tho latter was one of my uncle s warmest personal friends, and was bis host at Newport, and a few years ago Mr. Morton was a guest at the Conkling mansion in Utica. My uncle kept a large bank account with the firm of Morton, Bliss & Co., besides depositing bis securities with them for safe keeping. In short, ex-Sen ator Conkling was a political, personal and business friend of our candidate for Vice-president In regard to Mr. Harrison, I don't know what his relations were to my uncle, when tbey were colleagues in the Senate, but I .fully believe that he would vote and speak for Harrison and Morton had he lived till November. I anf clad to learn that some of the stalwart 'life guards' share ray opinion. Since reaching Utica I have talked with several Republicans, both friends and strangers. I have received many assurances that the stalwarts will support Harrison, and that the efforts of a few well-meaning men to 'knife' him will prove futile. 'Referring to the character of General Harrison, I may say that 1 have satisfactory written evidence from a 6ource whieh I shall not name, to the effect that he has made no agreement to offer Mr. Blaine a position in his Cabinet Moreover, assuming for the sake of argument -that Mr. Blaine would be Secretary of Steto, it is my strong impression that where Mr. Harrison sits will be tbe bead of the Cabinet tablet Gentlemen who know bim personally tell me that Mr. Harrison, unlike President Garfield, is not easily influenced, bat is a strong, self-poised man. So locgas Mr. Bl&ine is not the candidate of the Republican party it Is idle for any stalwart friends of Koscoe Contlioe to strive to itir tip discord among tbe Republicans in tbe great State of New York. In my humble opinion Mr. Blaine's notorious speeeh in 1866 cannot be made an issue in this campaign. The Democrats of .Utica must have been short of material when tbey encouraged Mr. CrandaU to publish a stinging letter of Mr. Conkling' written twenty years ago. 'I shall discus that matter in my forthcoming volume at the proper time, and one may well imagine that I have very decided views concerning it, bdt 1 cannot countenance tbe movement to bold Harrison and Morton responsible fur Mr. Blaine's past or present sentiments. He Blaine has been a consistent Republican. Twice, if not thrice, defeated in tbe national convention, the Maine statesman has never' sulked in his tent, but on the contrary, be has steadfastly supported the Republican candidates. In speaking tor the nominees at Chicago, Mr. Blaine is working for the party whic he believes to be on the right side of national questions, and he is no more tbe mouthpiece or agent of General Harrison than any other prominent campaign orator. I shall not discuss the seetional Mills . bill, except to aav that its enactment would ruin many men in New York and New Jersey. I have taken the atump for Harrison and Morton, and from now to the end of election I shall sound the stalwart slogan throughout the length and breadth of New York and Kings counties." Indianapolis Irishmen for Harrison, fpeclal in Philadelphia Press. Roger R. Sbiel, a prominent Irish citizen, who has for several years been active in politics, and was the Republican candidate for State Treasurer four years ago, said to the Press correspondent to-day: "In 18S4 tbe Republicans had all tbe grumblers, and the drift was toward the Democrats. This year we find all the changes from Democrats to Republicans. Four weeks before the election in 1SS1 1 was fully convinced that we could not carry the State, aud at this time I think there is no doubt that we will carry the State by from 10,000 to 15,000 majority. Indiana has not gone Democratic in a presidential year but twice since 1S56, and at those two elections Mr. Hendricks, who was tha most popular Democrat that ever lived in Indiana, was on the ticket and his appeals, more largely than all other influences combined, aided in carrying Indiana. 1 have met representative men from more than half tbe counties in Indiana in tbe last ten days, and t have made eloso inquiry as to the situation. In every instance tbey have reported Republican gains, and in no instance, have they reported any losses. Some counties report gains of several hundred, especially in the manufacturing districts, where workingmen are building homes and are paying for them thiough building associations." "What do you know about the Irish vote in Indiana!" "1 think there wiil be at least twice as many votes for Harrison as there were for Blame. In this city we have a number of the best business men, who have always been stanch Democrats, who are this year outspokea for Harrison. I could name, for instance, Dennis Bryan, the lareest wholesale cattle dealer; D. J. Sullivar and Brosnan Brothers, proprietors of two of the largest dry goods bouses: P. J. Kelleher, one of the leading hat dealers; Patrick Flaherty, porkpacker; T. F. Ryan, who has done more for the Democratic party tban any other man in tbe city for the last twenty years; P. A. W'ard, whi Is president of the Irish Protective Club, here tofore a prominent Democrat; Patrick Morao, who has charge of a large number of railroad emnloyes; Jerry Cole, superintendent of tbe Indianapolis car-works, and more than one hundred others that I could easily came. In fact, there are but few Irishmen in business that will cot vote for Harrison, while inacy of ttea don't want it publicly known." Wisconsin Germans for Protection. Milwaukee Special. The Germans of this city gave answer yesterday to the Democratic teports that tbey were disaffected toward the Republican party by a grand demonstration in the shooting park. Frederick Williams Holls, or New York, delivered the address. The speaker was escorted to tbe park by a torchlight proceesion, which was counted by thousands and included the Milwaukee Harrison and Morton Mounted Gnards and the German First Voter's Club, numbering 800, The great ball in tbe park was crowded to its utmost capacity bj representative Germans, who listended for nearly two boors to Mr. Holla address. The meeting was in every way a great success. The Class of Men In tbe Fostal Service. St. Louis UIobe-Democrat.
