New Youk. Oct 4. Hon. Patriok Egan, United States minister to Chili, arrived bore this morning on the steamship Newport on a two months' vacation. He said he had with him the original of a treaty to ettte all claims of American citizens against Chili, it having been approved by the Senate and Chamber of Deputies of Chili. After the ratification ol the treaty by the United States authorities it will be returned to Chili to be signed. He had brought with him the draft of twenty letters of credit on Paris banks for $75,000 in gold, which was to be used toindemnity the families of the seamen who were killed or wounded in Cnili during the Baltimore affair. The people of Cnili. he said, are extremely friendly towards the United States. Mr. Egan said no was going to Washington Thursday; that his return home had no connection with the campaign now going on; that it was not true that he was going to iniiuenee the Irish vote for Harrison; that the true Irish vote was not to be controlled by one man, and that he would be sorry to seethe Irish element voting solid for either party. The people of Chili, siiid Mr. Egan. are more friendly to this country than they have been for the past titty years. When war with this country seemed imminent, the State Department was in receipt of accurate information, and understood the situation fully. Asked for his opinion of the campaign, Mr. Esan said he bad no doubt but that Presldau t Harrison would be re-elected, principally on account of his successful administration. Keferring to the charges made against him Mr. Euan said: "1 had my attention oalled to the statements made by different persons. They were in substance that 1 was harassing the revolutionary party there in every way possible nntl supporting lialmaceda in every way I could. There is not one particle of truth in the statements. I emphatic tlly deny the charges that Admiral Brown gave information to Ualmaceda; that I was partial in my relations with either party, and that my son held contracts for railroad contracting in Chill." CahenlejrUm Under the Pope's Jltn. Nkwaiik, N. J., Oct 4. A great disappointment to the late German Catholic Consress was the fact that, although the delegates earnestly entreated it, no blessing or sijm of approval came from Kerne. During the session of the congress the leaders took good caro to hide this from the public, but the fact has gradually leaked out to the great discomfiture of nil couoerned. The refusal on the part of the l'opo to respond shows that Cahenilcyism has no favor iu Home, and that the priest verein and its associations are under the ban. At previous congresses the papal blensing was paraded as a triumph of the principles by the vere'n and its upholders. MarrmentR of Mraiucr. Scilly, Oct. 4.

E WHEN

DEALERS IN REAL ESTATE Governor Flower Addresses the Second Congress of the National Association. Eecommendations of .frrs'dent Weil The fciDgls-Tax Theory Advocated by Henry George at an E?eninj: iMceiing. Buffalo. Oct 4. The second congress of the National Keal-estate Association. met here to-day. Governor Flower addressed tho delegates. He said, In part: Of all the different lines of business yours would eeui to be tbe aalest. in one respect, at least. Tbere can be no overissue. In railroad aud other corporate investments the stock may bo watered. In manufacturing tbere 1a tho menace of poalble overproduction, but in real estate t hero Is just so much; no more and no less. In Indian Territory and Montana it U measured by mile; in Washington, Kansas and Nebraska and the Dakotas by sections and quarter sections: In Wisconslu, Michigan, Obbi and Georgia by the acre: in Denver, Kansas City and Atlanta by city loin; at Chicago by tbe foot, ami at New York by tbe inch; but in everr case it is a certain qaautity. Just so wide and Just so deep, and if you are bright enough not to get caught by buying property that lies below the water-mark you can bee it all us often as you please. While the successful real-entate-dealcr must possess the same kind and quality of ability that is required for any other business, there Is ouo faculty which it is absolutely essential for him to develop to its highest degree It is far-sightedness, l saw one of tliese sar-sighted men in Wi.-eonf in a few years ago. lie told me that forty years before he left Milwaukee with his four eons and tbe rest of his family. lie was a civil engineer, and went West to rre-empt some land. After traveling two hundred miles be said to bis eons: "We will stick our poles here. You see, boys, a little notch in the mountains over there, and if there is ever a railroad built in this section It will surely'come through here." For forty years be tilled his 640 acres, and the morning i conversed with him tie was on the first passenger train that had ever passed that war. f he station was liaraboo. Wis., and it was named after hira. Was it any wonder thai Chicago became the metropolis of the WcstI The Governor's address was frequently aoplanded. Mayor Bishop next deli vered an address of welcome, and was followed by Jndge Edward W. Hatch. Col. Henry L. Turner, of Chicago, responded to the addresses of welcome. Thomas T. Wright of Nashville, founder of tbe National liealestate Association, presented to President Weil, through Mr. Mooney, of liutlalo, a gavel cut from one of the logs hewn by Gen. Jackson in 1S04 and used in erecting his cabin home, and which still stands near Nashville. President Weirs annual address reviewed tbe work accomplished since the Nashville meeting, and epoke of the importance of the association to the realty interests of the country. He recommended tho passage of uniform laws by th several States bearing on real estate. On this poiut he said: "We shall not act for the passage of any law that will redound to the interests of real-estate men to the detriment of any person or class. We will simply ask for the passage of laws governing the varied realeutate interests of the Nation, in the uniformity of which all are equally interested." He recommended further that a special committee be appointed whose duty it shall be'to make a thorough investigation of the lawn of the different Mates, relating to this subject, and to formulate such measures, as, in their judgment, could be adopted toadvantage in every State and Territory of the Union. He also urged the association to take tin the question of better country roads. Other important subjects to consider were bigh oilice buildings in largecities, ninety-nine year ground leases, the Terrens aystera of registering land titles and insurance. He also called attention to the great lots of property annually by tire in the United States and the best measures to stop this wasteful dopletion of tbe Nation's wealth. In conclusion tbe President said: "It is our duty to expose and drive from tbe business all unprincipled operators who bring discredit and odium on the entire profession by their questionable transactions' Several thousand real-estate men from all parts of tho country assembled ut Musio Hallto-uight to hear the expounding of the sinsJe-tax theory by Henry George. The meeting was called to order shortly after 6 o'clock by President Weil, of the National Association, who introduced Mr. George. By way of introduction the speaker told a number of stories which he turned in a clever manner to illustrate a number of points in regard to taxation, lie laid great stress on the fact that it is hard to tax personal property, chietly because it is bard to land who owns it. "The assessment upon personal property cannot be collected from men of wealth." said he. "It is not collected, and never will be collected. It is utterly impossible to fairly collect it" He advocated tbe single tax as tho only proper mode of taxation, lio condemned tbe present system of taxation, which operates as a tax or fine on every builder of a house which goes to beautify a city. The better the bouse tbe greater the tine, he said. In concluding his remarks bo said the single is the only fair, equal and equitable system of taxation. At the close of his remarks Mr. George gave an ooportnuity to those who desired to ask questions. Many availed themselves of the privilege, and an interesting discussion ensued. BI.00DI AFFRAY AT A REVIVAL Three Colored Men Killed, a Woman Fatally Wcunded and Others Injured. Fulton, Mo., Oct 4. Three men were killed, a woman fatally wounded and several persons shot but not mortally wounded at a colored revival meeting at Stephen's btore, a small town twenty miles northwest of here, Sunday evening. Saturday a colored youth. Mike Turner, whipped another negro boy. The lattor sworo vengeance, and Sunday afternoon, so It is reported, he entered tbe meeting and, drawing a revolver, began to lire at Turner. His first shot pierced the abdomen of a colored woman named Keys and his second mortally wounded ber husband. Several of tbe men present drew revolvers and took sines for and against the boy who started the shootinc. The women screamed and tied in all directions, while the men were blazing away at each other. When the smoke cleared away., no the report saya, two men were dead and several wounded.

CANNOT BE TRDSTED IN POWER

A FArty Whoso Platform Says Oca Thing and Whose Candidate Says Another. WMtehw Reii Afain Ventilates the Double Gams Democracy Is Attempting to Play on the Voters of the Country. Cleveland's Efforts to Ward Off Defeat by Repudiating His Party's Policy, His Utreranc1 Concsminj the McKinJcy Law Kefated by 0ffic:ls in His Own 8tate Questions for Business Hen to Consider. TTIII1ELAW ItEID AT BOSTON. Arraignment of Cleveland and the Party He Represents Appeal to Dullness Men. Boston, Mass.. Oct. 4. Mnsio Hall and Faueuil Hall were botb tilled to overflowing to-night when the Republicans ratified their State and national nominations with ringing speeches by Hon. Whitelaw Reid, Gov. William McKinley, Lieut.-aro v. Hail and Hon. Koger Wolcott, tbe two latter being the nominees for Governor and Lieutenant-governor, respectively. As soon as the doors of Musio Hall were opened there was a rush for seats, and many who came later were thankful even to hud standingroom. Hon. W. L Barrett presided, and wa Hanked by a large number of leading; men of tbe party seated upon the platform. After a short introductory speech, Hon. Wbitelaw Keid was presented as the first speaker of the evening. As he stepped forward he was given a most flattering reception by the larae audience, which was quick to note the sharp points of his address, and bestowed frequent applause. Mr. Keid said: There is no one who should not be proud and grateful for snch a reception. But it would be worse than presumption to think it personal. 1 arn simply, for a time, and through 'the partiality of associates, a representative of the grand old party that has guided this Nation for thirty years to its unparalleled prosperity and uncontested supremaoy. To it jour loud appeals may well be lven. For it your cheers may well shake the roofs, and, like the shots fired by the embattled farmers, sing round the world. Whatever may come now ur hereafter, its ' past, at ' least, is secure. At every step iu its magnificent march it was resisted, iu wholo or in part, by the Dcinocratio party, which resl.sts it now. At every step it was sustained by the brawn aud the hraiu by the men aud the money of Massachusetts. There are those who say that Massachusetts will resist it now. 1 do not believe the aspersion. Edmund Uurico said. "You cannot frame an Indictment against a whole nation," but this Btate, it she should vote now, and ou the issues of to-day, against the Republican party, would Indict one or the most glorious periods and. many of the most glorious names of her own history. The Kepublican party is now iu power. Tbe country Is peaceful, contented and prosperous beyond precedent. Shall we, thereupon, make a radical and sweepim? change! It so, why! 'ihere Is the question for the solid men of Boston. Up to Tuenduy lat it was no question at all for our oppoueuts. Theyopeuly and without disguise, and without exceptions or dissent, wanted a change as abrupt and as importuut as can well be conceived. They wanted to reverse the whole revenue policy of the government since lstil, by- a change from the American idea a protective tariff to the modern KnglUh idea a tariff for revenue oulv. ;TtiH tuld mean a shuck to bUKines end a disaster to labor that would exceed auything this generation has seen. They wanted to reverse the fiscal policy of the government since 1361 ny abandoning again a part of the national prerogative of issuing money, breaking down the beet currency this continent ever saw the national bauk notes, to substitute for it the worst State notes and shin-plasters. That would meau a shock: to all banking and exchanges and an inconvenience and constant loss to every citizen that would belong to a semi-barbarous period, and not to a civilized one. . Our opponents denouuee as a sham the reciprocity treaties by which we secured new markets for our products in Central America, South Amerfca, and Europe, in return for tho free admission of sug!ir, ootfee and tea to Your breaklift tables. That means, unless their profession of principle is itself a sham, the closing again of those new markets, and a high revenue tarill again ou sugar, coffee aud tea. . DEMOCRACY CAN'T liK TRUSTED. . There Is no need to go further in enumerating the changes they threaten. Enough is as good as a feast; and that is the sort of feast to which they Invite you. I challenge tho judgment of the candid. Intelligent business men of Boston, whatever their polities, on the proposition that those changes, if actually carried out by tbe Democratio party.is they are demanded by the Democratic platform, would prove for a year or two, at any rate, the greatest and most dangerous snoclc to business since the war. It may be replied that the Democrats do not mean what they say. If you take that view, there are two things to be considered. Tho first Is, why encourage or in any way sustain a party that does not even intend to do what it promises. And tbe second is, if its promises are admittedly worthless, what guarantco have you, if you give it power, aguiui its going even further than it has threatened! Is tbe tiger so amusing and playful a creature that it is worth wnlle to turn him loose out of mere curiosity Just to see whrt he will dot That the Democratio party demanded these changes everybody knows. But something has happened, eince last Tuesday the Democrats have been demoralized aud almost on tbe run. The letter of acceptance disclosed a figure which our aboriginal friends of the fnr West would describe as "liig-Man-Afraid-of-Ilis-Platform;' and the party gazes in perplaxlty aud alarm on a candidate wbo.accepts its nomination, but has not yet shown eMher the candor to acceptor courage to repudiate its principles. 1 moan to fpeak of Mr. Cleveland with the respect which all right-thinking American people wish to show for one who has passed our supreme ordeal, and has once beeu declared by a majority of American votes worthy to be the chief magistrate of this Nation. But it cannot be disrespectful, and it is obviously truthful, to say that Mfi. Cleveland now acts toward tho platform of bis parry as if be were afraid that if ho should venture to step on it it would break through. The thtee distinctly vital points In the Xlatform are State-bank currency, reciprocity and the tariff. Ou two or them his letter is absolutely silent, whilo he writes all around and about tbe third, through one-half his whole letter, without once being able to say in straightforward lauguage whether protection 1 unconstitutional, as his party declares It, or ritfht aud expedient, as Thomas Jefferson and Au lrew Jackson declared it. But ho does tell us that tariff reform is still his purpose. That is to say, the business of tho country must have no TMiuoe: evorvthlutf must te once more unset tled, and the whole tariff must be turned over again to bo tinkered by a Congress ol that patty which at Chicago declared by nearly a twothirds majority fur tho English as against the American system, and . pronounced protection unconstitutional. lie might as well have stepped boldly upon the platform. It would have looked better aud could not have resulted worse, for what he does say brings biin. wnctner he iu.es it or not. straight to tho plat form's conclusion: "We declare it to be a fund amental principle of tbe Democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose tariff duties except for the 1urpose of revenue only. We denounce the MeCtuley tariff as the culminating atrocity of class legislation, and we promise its repeal." MUST STAND OX HIS PLATFORM. Are Democratio business men of Boston eager just now, this jear or next year, for an enter tainmcnt like that! In vain, after this, does the candidate plead apolocetleally that his party wages no extermination war against any Amer lean interests. As well might be plead that his party's demands for the repeal of tbe 10 pr cent, tax ou State bank circulation makes no threat against the national currency, lie says ho wants to change things by reforming tho tariff. The party gives its pledges to the country as to the sort of reform It t Con-grrs-not Mr. Cleveland, but Its Congress would make: a tariff for revenue only, any other Peine unconstitutional. He tries to quiet alarm by Maying lre trade is Impossible. Certainly England says the satno thing and maintains most rieldly Just the sort of tariff Mr. Cleveland's platform deinnud a tariff for revenue only. Iu vain U the net spread tn the sight of any bird. No qualitleatious or omlssious, or vague generalities aud assurance of harmless intentions can bund the eyes of voters to the fact that, however much Mr. Cleveland may regi et It, as an honorable man be is bound hand and ' foot to the platform of his party at Chicago, just as well tho world knows that be is

to-day bound to the care of (triumphant) Tam

many of Kewiork. Never since 1864 nave our opponents aiselosed so plainly the real spirit that controls their majority and their actual incapacity to comprehend their country or their times. Ia lbb4 their resolutions declared that tne war zor the Union was a failure: and within a fortnight the world had heard the answer asSherman tosk possession of Atlanta and Sheridan's troopers swept through the valley of the Bhenandoah. aow their reflations pronounce any proiecuvo tariff unconstitutional, dsnounce the McKinley bill, promise its repeal, deny that there has been an increase or prosperity since it went roio operation, and declare, on the contrary, that the Kepublican policy footers no industry except that of the sheriff; Before the campaign is fairly started comes the answer from Cleveland's own Commissioner of Labor Statistics, that during the last year, in the State of New York, wages have advanced and produc tion has increased. Who reports, nrst, that the deposits of workincmen in the savings banks have increased; and, second, that the deposits of tho workingmen In tho building and loan asso ciations have Increased. Then comes bis own board of equalization, reporting that in one year. icSUl, when the JUcwiniey biu has just got iainy to work with Its culminating associate, the real and personal property of tho tate Increased over $150,000,000, or 3 8-10 per ceut., or, to put all these reports by Mr. Cleveland a own democratic otlicials Into the briefest tabular form, we have the following answer to Mr. Cleveland's platform from this year's Democratic otneial reports in Mr. Cleveland's own State of New York: Net increase of wages $0,377,925.09 Net increase of production 31.315,130.0 Increase of savings bauk deposits 13,755,448.27 Net sum invested during the year in building and loan associations 18,789.720.00 Increase in the valnation of the real and personal property of the State... 152.347,763.00 SOMEBODY IS LYIXO. Then come tbe official reports from Massa chusetts, New Jersey and elsewhere, showing substantially, though in varying degrees, the same rising tide of general prosperity. MWe deny that there has been any Increase of prosperity duco the McKinly bill went Into operation," says Mr. Cleveland's platform. "There has been," i;aya Mr. Cleveland's Commissioner of Labor btatlstics. "There has been." says his Hank: Commissioner. "There has been' says his Hoard of Equalization, and the reports from the officers in other States contlrm It all. Well may Mr. Cleveland repeat to his offioials the despairing exclamation ot Balak, King of Moab. to iiaaiaui. the prophet: "I took thee to curse Israel, and, behold, thou hat blessed him alto gether." liut we are sometimes told that all these ques tions about reversing: the established currenu of our tariff, and trade, and currency, which mere ly anecta the business and weii-being or every citizen, are comparatively unimportant, aud that the only vital issue in this campaign Is whether the federal government shall be permitted to regulato the elcctiou of federal oHicerc If it is. then, according to the Democratio platform, republican government in the United states is doomed ft is ditlicult to believe that our opponents expect to bo taken seriously in sucu a proposition. The real question involved I, shall every citizen of the United states lawfully entitled to vote be permitted to vote, and to have his vote fairly counted! Ihe Republicans say yes. .The Democratio platform practically says no. Mr. Cleveland in this case has the courage frankly to say that to his platform. Now. if tuis Demo cratio opposition means anything it means tho nullification of the fourteenth and fifteenth articles of the Constitution ot the United States. Is Massachusetts ready for that! There was a time when nullification came naturally from tho Democratic part v. but the sons of the Massa chusetts men v ..o favored It have ever since been walking backward, like the sons of Noah, to cover the nakedness of their disgraced fathers. There is another question of real commanding Interest to the whole country, and especially tho seaboard. Khan we restore our merchant ma rine and again possess tho seas.! The Repub lican party says, enthusiastically, yes, and points to the beginnings it ha made. It has frankly adopted the methods other nations have found necessary, and has voted subsidies to our ships carryiug our mails. We have even invad ed the most hotly contested Held. Two ot the fastest and largest ships in tbo world have been secured for a transatlautio line: four more are to be constructed in our ship-yards as a beginning, and even with these six we shall have a lino equal to tbe best that enters English port.1. That is the Kepublican position on tho subject. What does the Democratio platform aay about it! Nothing. What does Mr. Cleveland Bay about m Noimng. wnataoes liostou sayi There Is one party in tblscauiipalgu. Mr. Chair man, that does not find It neertlul to slander tbe country; that does not seek for calamities and does not read its own defeat in tho general pros perity. There 1 one party that has nothing to conceal and says what it means. It has nom inees who aro not afraid of Its principles. It is not trying to succeed by getting one part of tho country to vote for its platform aud another part to vote for its candidates. It stands everywhere for a protective tariff, and wants no mis take about that. It stands lor honest money. ana wants no mistaKe about mat. it stands lor equal rights under the law, for reciprocity, for revived shipping, for American wages and tor America all the time. And. linally, it challenges the verdict of the American people on the char acter, ability and tho. safe and brilliantly suc cessful administration or Benjamin Harrison. GOVERNOR M'KINLKY'S 8PKKCII. At the conclnsion of Mr, Reld's speech Governor McKinley was introduced, and received an ovation as be rose to speak. He devoted tho first part of his address to a discussion of tbe old State-bank system. Ihe Kepubhcun party, he said, stands first lor tne protection and encours agemeut of American industries, and second, for honest currency. atd the speaker: "Free trade shaves down the wages of tbe laborer and pays him in a de preciated State currency. One reduces the wages and the other cheats him in the pay ment. That is tbe Democratio platform of l&tt," He took 2ssue with Mr. Hill in the statement that protection is unconstitutional. Said be: "I know of but one Constitution it violates, and that is the Constitution of tbe Confederate States. But we are not living nnaer that Constitution now." Mr. McKinley then passed to a discussion of the tarill. and at its. conclusion was fol lowed by Lieutenan-governor Halle and Hon. Rouer Wolcott. who had just ad dressed tbe meeting in Faueuil Hall, to which place Messrs. Reid and McKinley were taken after their Musio liall speeches. At Faneuil Hall there was another large crowd that tilled the ball and corridors to sntlocation, while the galleries contained many ladies. 1'osttnaster Thomas N. Hart presided here, and iu a short speech intro duced Lieutenant-governor Haile as the first speaker. He said that a national ad ministration has been on trial on its merits. and the time has arrived for the American people to make no their verdict. Hon. Roger Wolcott was next introduced. He said that it is not by enthusiasm alone the victory is to be' won, but by the sober judgment of a great industrial community. which brings to tbe decision ot these in terests an educated intelligence perhaps unequaled in tne world, ihe issues pre sented to you in this campaign press close ly on Xiew England a interests and touch vitally the wage-earners who derive from them their means of livelihood.

Democratic Cluls Welcomed to New YorkbjEi-President Cleveland. Resolutions That Sonnd Like Thry Were Writ ten by the "Stuffed Grover to Take Personal Chares of DU Camraicn Shortly. WAYNE MACVEAGII'S LAMTXT. n Cannot Keep Pace with the Republican! and lias, Therefore, Joined Democracy, Philadelphia, Oct 4. --Ex-Attorney general Wayne MaeVeagh has written a let terto John W. Carter, secretary of tht Massachusetts Reform Club, in which hi announces that he will vote for Grove) Cleveland. 1 be letter says, in part: As both rartles have presented unexceptional candidates, tbere is no reason why the dU!ereuccs which exist apou questions of publlo policy should he discussed otherwise than lu good humor, and with entire respect for each other's opinions. In the present campaign, what mai fairly be called the ialse alarma of tbe cauvai will prove of little value, because of the genera? confidence in the safe and conservative charuo ter of both candidates. The writer finds himself in full accord with the Democratio party, and finds it more easy to act with it "because, the Re publican party, securing its return to powei four years ago by promising to prcscrvi matters as they were," at once embarked upon what be regards as a "reckless and revolutionary policy, even overturning all the fategaarda of legislation in the House of Representatives in its haste to pass the force bill and the McKinley Dill." both, to bis mind, unnecessary and unwise meas ures. Passing over tbe force bill, with a referenco to the earnest and widespread opposition thereto, and to tbe advocacy, twt years ago, of the measure by President Harrison. Mr. Mao each takes np the tarill, of which ho says: Tbe cconoiuiti evils, however great, of the Mc Kinley bill, and tho unreasonable system of protection it represents, are of far less importance to my mind man the moral evils which follow ia their wake. Iu deciding for what xorposes the masses or tbe people may properly Iks taxed it must not le forgotten that taxes have a wonderful capacity for tillering through all intervening. obstacles till they reach the bowed Pack of toll, aud rest there; aud, therefore, the giving ol bounties, under any form of taxation, is mainly the giving away ot the wages of labor. Tbo ad truth that the curse of the poor is their poverty Is illustrated in nothing more clearly than in the undue share they suiter of the burdens of taxation. But even such inequality aud injustice aro the least or its evils. lor. wnlle sucu a system endures, political corruption is absolutely sure of increase, as such a system not only invite?, but it requires the corrupt use of money both at tbe noils and in Congress. The Republican party ought to be an honest money party, and It would be If It could; but while it demanded increased bounties for its favorite manufacturers it culd not refuse increased bounties to the silver-producers, as tbe votes they control were probably necessary to the passage of the McKinley bill. 1 bo poison ot a debased currency is making itself dally more and moro felt In every chsnnel of business an1 finance, and it is inevitably driving gold out ol the country and leadlug us to all the evils of s lluctuatlng and, therefore, dishonest currency, based upon silver aloue. li Congress wns to levy taxes upon the people, to confer bounties upou certain classes of manufacturers, it was very natural that the pension agents should also Join hands to increase tbeii fees by an indiscriminate granting of pension The result is that nearly a generation after tbs close of the war there is a steady Increase of the va?t sums passing through the pension agents' bauds, until tbe total amount staggers belle! and baa become of Itself a very serious burdec upon the treasury, fureiy there is neither reason nor justice in legislation which destroys all distinction between the discharge of duty and the shirking or it, between loyal service and desertion of the colors, between wounds received in battle and diseases contracted in the pursuits of peace. There is still another great and increasing evil chiefly tracea'ile, in uiy opinion, to the mam teuauce of an excessive tarill' since tho war and the constant meddling with it to make it higher, and that is the bringing to our shores of those vast swarms of undesirable immigrants. JuM as the duties uivou imported merchandise have been increased so has the grade of Imported labor boon lowered. As the Republican party ia now deiinitcly committed to the jtolicy of taxing the people for the puriose of giving bounties to such perrons or Interests as can secure tbe necessary votes in Congress so the Democrat! is now as definitely committed to the policy o restricting taxation to the needs of the government for public purposes alone. Mr. MaoVeagh is convinced that the old canses in which he is interested cannot hope for success until the avowed policy ol the Repnblican party on this subjeet if overthrown. He concludes thus: Until then tbe right of each State to control elections within its borders will not be secure; there is no prospect of our enjoying the single and stable standard of value which other civilized and commercial nations possess; there is no hope of placing cither our pension system or the regulation of Immigration upon Just and proper basis; the puritlcatiou of politic will continue "the Iridesoent dream" hlch high Bepublican authority has declared it must always remain, and any pretended reform of tbe cl7il service must prove a delusion and a snare. Rven ballot reform must share the same fate of betrayal la the house of Its pretended friends. All ttteo good causes arc, in the very nature of things, the relentless foes of a system of government by tTountics to favored interests, and such a system is their relentless roe. DEMOCRATIC CLUBS. The Delegates Welcomed to New York by Mr. Cleveland Tbe Resolutions. New York, Sept. 4.Tbe second quadrennial convention of the National Association of Democratio Clubs was held today in tbe Academy of Musio. Grover Cleveland was present. His entrance was greeted with cheers. Tbe meeting was called to orderat 11 a. m. by ex-Lieutenant-Governor Channcey F. Black, of Pennsylvania, president of the association. He made a lengthy speech, in which the Republican party audits policies were severely criticised. When Mr. Black had concluded be presented ex-President Cleveland to tbe audience. Tbe latter said: Mr. President and Gentlemen It anords me especial pleasure to extend to you on this occasion a hearty welcome. As a citizen ot this proud municipality, I am glad to assure you that our hospitality is always open aud generous. In behalf of a community distinguished for it Amerisanlsm and toleration In all matters of belief and judgmeut, I know I may extend a cordial greeting to those who here represent political thought! ulness and sincerity. As an unyielding and consistent believer in Democratio principles, 1 trust I need not bealtate to pledge to tbe representatives of organized Democracy the good will and fraternal sympathy of this Democratic city. Your meeting Is the council of war which precedes a decisive battle, and your deliberations should be the preparation for a stormy conflict. All your weapous aud all your equipments are soon to be tested. You have organized and labored, and you have watched and planned to insure your readiness for the linal engagement, now near at band. This. then, is no holiday assembly, but an Impressive convocation in furtherance of tho designs and purK)sei for the accomplishment of which you and those you represent ate banded together. These design and purposes, as declared by your association, are: The preservation of the Constitution of the United States, the autonomy or the butes, tbe self-governuieut and freedom of elections, opposition to the Imposition of taxes beyond tho necessities of the government, economically administered, and tho promotion of economy in ull branches of tbe public service. These professions embody the purest patriotism and loftiest aspirations ot American citizenship. Although at all times tbey should suggest to us the strongest obligations to political eriort, their motive fwrce, as incentives to political activity and watchfulness, should be Irresistible at a time when the Constitution is held in light esteem as against tbe accomnlishmeht of selcsh purposes, when t-tste bountisrles are hardly a barrier to centralized power, and when local self-government aud freedom of elections are the scoli of partisanship. Those who subscribe to the creed ot this association and make any claim to sincerity, can hardly excusa themselves for lack of elTort at a time when tbe necessities ot the government economically adulaistr4
