candidates, and In their newspapers they mo fall ot contradictions, false tues and jalso professions. Denying in Massachusetts what they advoeato in Texas, and debouncing as unconstitutional to-day what they athrmedas proper yesterday, they assume that tho voter of the country are too dull and too careless to detect the deception. Upon cmono of tL great issues before tho country in this campaign can yoa lind such harmonious expression as to authorize the assertion that this is the clearlr dclined Democratic position. 'They nre all things to all men. that they may by all means pave some votes. 'One of tho oldest, baldest, most unblnsh-. ice of their pretenses is tn claim that they alone favcr honest elections. Yet, notwithtandinjr tho liepublican declaration of principles is on no point more explicit, or more emphatic, than in its demand for free and honest elections; and notwithstanding that in Alabama, one of tho States hitherto Impregnably Democratic, the charge is made by half of the Democratic white voters of thotitato teat by tho most unblushing frauds a candidate for Governor or the People's ticket, elected by more than forty thousand plurality i:i August last, was counted out, and tho regular Democratic candidate counted in. under the claim that ho was elected by negro votes, which we in fact never cast, neither the Democratic platform nor the letter of acceptance of Mr. Cleveland contains one word ia favor of honest elections or against dishonest elections. The only word in either the platform or the letter on the subject is in denunciation of those who demand ft free vote and an honest count. THE CLEVELAND SLOGAN. "Xo negro domination' is the slogan of the Cleveland Democracy of Alabama, as well as of Tammany Hall, and yet it is alleged by thousands, whose record as Democrats has heretofore never been questioned, that, by fraudulent jugglery in the Hack counties, the votes of the great majority of the white Democrats of that State are overslaughed. Heading Democratic newspapers, and especially the roccnt manifesto of the Democratic national cc earn it tee. one would suppose that Kcpublican Success m elections is invariabl? tho result of crimes br Republican leaders. It is at least an astonishing coincidence if Jiepublicans are the men who violate the election Ihws. that Democrat are tho men who go to the pcnitcuitary lor auch oilcnees. And yet each is tho indisputable fact. From the tinioof tho (Treat leader of the greatest Democratic organization on earth. William 31. Tweed, praud sachem of Tammany in 1870, and coming down to the last waaon-load of eminent Democratic citizens of Jersey City, convicted of election frauds end shipped to the penitentiary in this year of grace IbC'.', the record is uniform, with rare exceptions, the men elected to serve the country in striped anilorru as convicts, for violations of election laws, have been Democrats. "Take the cases which have found their way to the Supreme Court of the United btates. In seven or eight Democratic election officers in Haltitnoro were sent to tne penitentiary. The same year one August P. Clark, a Democratic alderman end eleotion otlicer in Cincinnati, thought 2io could help his party by allowing tho returns conhded to his keeping to be taken in possession by tally-sheet formers and was imprisoned. In Jasper Yarborough and seven other Democratic apostles in Northern Georgia went to prison. In that eminent Democrat. Joseph Makm. and fellow-conspirator in Chicago, thought

they could by forgery improve the election returns and found themselves in the penitentiary as a result. JnlbSG, Simeon Coy, chairman of tho Democratic county committee at Indianapolis, and about a dozen of his associate conspirators, impelled by the like benevolent motives to help their Darty friends, despoiled, altered and forged tho tally-sheets and poll-book, with the result that C03 and Hernhamcr were fonnd guilty and sent to tho penitentiary, while as to several others tho jury disagreed. The foregoing are only euch cases as in the course of ten years found their way to the Supreme Court of the United States. In every one of them the convicts were Democrats, the crimes committed were m Democratic conspiracies to make Democratic Totes, to elect Democrats to ollico. CASES COULD KB MULTIPLIED.. Tf time would permit, the number of ingtances of like Democratic martyrdom for party's sako could bo multiplied indefinitely. It wa3 a Democratic conspiracy In Indiana in 1ST3 tor the importation of voters that lauded tho Democratic county treasurer of Jennings county in tho penitentiary. It was a9 the chief of a Democratic conspiracy to .compass frauds in elections in Columbus. U., that a leading Democrat achieved a national reputation n few years since; and it was u scries of Democratic frauds in 1S-1, 1Sn and lfcSo that in ado the name elections n by-word of infamy in Cincinnati. It was the Democratic county boards of Fayette, and ono or two other counties in Tennessee, that a couple of years airo actu ally made appropriations of largo amounts of money from the county treasuries to pay tho tines and costs assessed against brother Democrats 0:1 pleas of guilty to indictments lor election frauds. Tho records show that ca a rule, with few exceptions, fraudulent naturalizations, tho sizing and stalling of ballot-boxes, changing returns, and the beating and even killing of . Candidates and voters, is tho fruit of conspiracies of Democrats to swell the party oto and to elect Democrats to o'dice. "'Hut why ro to tho Southern States or to tho frauds of former yearsf Or.Iy last winter the organized Democracy of New York, according to the testimony of many of the best men. lawyers and laymen, of Kew York, 'unlawfully took' the Legislature and rewarded the chief instrument of the taking with a position in the highest Judicial tribunal in that great Mate. And, etill more recently, lu the chief Democratic city of tho heretofore unfaltering Democratic State of New Jersey, wo hvo tho spectacle of thonctual shipment of Democratic election worthies to tho penitentiary 1a omnibus-loads I bad almost said carloads thero being near three score of them now in prison garb in tho service of the State! And y ot Democratic newspapers And Democratic speakers talk of Kepublican frauds! NO KF.ri'llI.ICAN EXAMPLE;1. .Gentlemen o! the Democraoy, if the Republicans violato tho election laws they ought to bo prosecuted and punished. Tho laws are as adequate to punish Republic- - ana as Democrats; tho courts are oien; tho prosecuting oilicers are at your command. Yea. if that has any significance, much more than halt tho judges and prosecutors of tho country nro of your own rcrsnasioD. Yet uowhero.' so far as I can learn, has been prosecuted to conviction a Republican conspiracy against an honest election. It Is easy to make charges; it is quite another thing to make such charges good. Wo nsBert that tho Democratic party, notwithstandinc all it profession, is not the unwavering friend of honest ele ctions; and by tbererordsof the courts and by living Democratic witnesses ia the jails and penitentiaries we provG oar assertion. "Hut Democrats have an nnspenkablo horror of any federal supervieor of elections, and the mere mention of tho iiamo of John 1. Davenport throws these jealous guardians of purity in elections into hysterics. Hat what has he done! Is it pre-, tended that Mr. Davenport or his agents have enabled any Kepubliran to vote who Lad not a right to do so. or prevented any Democrat from voting who had that ritfhtf If so, who, when or where? lilvo us a bill of particulars. Mr. Davenport has beeft openly exercising his oi'ico und doing hi work in Now York surrounded by Democratic courts, sherifls. pcliremen. district attorneys and marshals, for more than twenty years: and if ho be a violator of tho law and a pnldie malefactor, as you a-s.rt in public print and resolution, why don't yoa prosecute and tend him to prison to languish in company with tho Democratic worthies tere tmtVering martyrdom for their party zealf Tho answer is plain. Your charges asainst him aro not true, but nianderoua! i'lio whole head and front of his offending is that his work is in tho interest of honest elections, and prevents a renewal of the Tweed methods f casting and counting tens of thousand, of "Votes in the names of men dead, non-resident and imaginary, and trie counting of tens of thouaandsof others that cover wero cast at all! TItUJ" DEMOCRATIC TUZZLi:. "Another Democratic puzzlo is tha attitude of trie partr ou tho tariiT. Tho Chicago platform this year contains the folio ww if. "We denounce ItepulSoan protection ns afrau:. a robbery of the American jx-ojiie ir tbe Wnwlt of the tew. We derlare It to be a t inidanif n tnl principle of th Iteinovratio pnrtv tbnt tbn fdsral fcuvtrumciit has no coiaUtuliu:.al power to

Impose and collect UrllT duties, except for tLo purpoo of revenue only. '.inco when has it become afundamental principle of the Democratic partr that Congress has no power to levy a tariff with a view to protection! The Democratic partv professes to be as old as the government; to have teen founded by Jellerson, and to have continued in his faith. Its great apostles, to whom reference is always made as tho source of its inspiration, are Jellerson, Madison and Jackson. .And yef. not one of them has ever taken any such position. On the contrary, all of them, in company with Washington and Hamilton, were strong advocates of a tritt for tbe encouragement and protection of American industries. Not only so; but the national Democratic platform of 163 distinctly declared that, Mn the revision of tho toritt duo allowance should be made for tho differences between the wages of American and foreign labor "So, m the platform of 1SS4, still moro plainly, it whs declared that 'The necessary reduction of taxation can and must be ellected without depriving Americau labor of tbe ability to compete successfully with foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates of duty than will bo ample to cover any increased cost of production which may exist in consequence of .the higher rate of wages prevailing in this country.' ONLY OF RF.CP.NT, GROWTH. "It would seem that the unconstitutionality of discriminating protective duties has become fundamental with this great constitutional rarty since Grover Cleve

land was a candidate for the presidency, inlS?4. In 1SS0 and the Democratic platforms resolved in favor of a tarili for rovenue only, but contained no suggestion that a protective taritTwas unconstitutional, or that Jefferson and Jaokson in advocating n. protective tariff wero violating either the .Constitution or tho fundamental principles of the Democratic party. " In lbCS the Democratic platform demanded: "A tariff for re venae upon foreign imports, and such equal taxation water the internal revenue lawn as villi nHord incidental proU-ctlnn to do-liit-Mif iiiauufliciures, ami as will, without liup driin: tiie revenue, laipose the least bunion ii'OU and best promote aud encourage the great industrial h.te:i"ts ol the. country. In other words, in In',8 the party had not discovered this great fundamental principle, but actually resolved iu favor of th principle of protection in domestic taxation. And from this resolution it has never receded. In lb:J2, the last time that General Jackson was candidate for the presidency of the United States upon tho Democratic ticket, the platform of that party contained the following resolution: resolved. That adeqnatfl protection to American industry is indispensable to the prosperity of tlie countrv, nod that an abandonment of tbe policy would bo attended with eonsequencts ruinous to the.best interests of the Nation. "And in 1824, in a letter dated April 20, over his own signature. General Jackson expressed his views on the tmbject, as follows: The Almighty has filled our mountains and our plains with minerals lead, irou aud cupper, m.d Klvea us a Climate and soil for the growing of hemp and wool. These being tbe grand materialaof our national defense, they ought to hrtve extended to them adequate and lair protection, that our manufacturers and laborers may be placed on a fair competition withthosoof Kurope, aud that wo may have within our own country a supply of those leading and important articles so essential to war. TOSITION NOW RIDICULOUS. "What, in view of such a record, is the value of 'the fundamental principle of the Democratic party, that the federal government has no constitutional power to imposo and collect' protective tarift duties? "Tho Democratic platform also promises the repeal of the McKiuley bill, and that without any saving of the wages of workingraen or of vested interests, as provided in the p'utfor'iis of lbsi and lbS. And this was inte!tif nal. It was done of malico aforethought. The platform aa originally introduced was substantially as in those two rears. Uut the free-traders wore ic control, and were determined upon a radical new departure, and the result is this platform. " And what says Mr. Cleveland! Does he agree with the platform, or does he dissent from it? So far a his letter ia concerned, he does neither; he trims, he hedges, iu short ho 'mugwumps.' "As to the currency the Democratic position is more definite. In order to maintain a national currency and drive the bills issued by tbe old Statu banksbefore the war, out of existence, Congress, in liM, iniposod a tax of 10 per cent, on all such State bank notes. The necessity for euch legislation need not be explained to those who remember the time. - In those times a book known as tho Dank-noto Koporter, or Detector, with now editions every week, containing pictures of all known bank bills, and giving their pedigree, value, etc., was as essential to every store or corner grocery as a time-table is to a traveling man; but even this was but a very partial protection to them, and nono at all t the farmer, laboring man or others who haudled little money. HIS OWN EXPERIENCE. "A single experience ot my own, in the early spring of 1SC1, was tho overy-day experience of multitudes. After a night of sea-sickness on a steamer between Boston and tho mouth of tho Kennebec river, I landed at liath. 31 0., ravenously anxious for something to eat; nt, though fairly supplied with bank notes of my native State of New York, I had to run about from street to street, in constant fear that the boat would go oil' and leave me, before I could tind anrone who would, even for a ftibstantial discount, change a email bill und give me a oreakfast. Those were good old Democratic times and that was Democratic money. Having sinoe found that our national currency is good, not only all over the United States but equally ood ic Kurope, in Canada, and in Mexico, I beg to dissent from any proposition to go back to the nl Jsvstcm. "Uut, tnrning from the promisee and professions of the Democratic party to its performances, what ha it to showf In oue branch of pnblio business President Cleveland did not only surpass any of his prvdeocsors bat easily distanced all of them combined. All the Presidents of a hundred years had vetoed only lo5 bills, whereas tho pension bills alone which President Cleveland vetoed were near 170. and In such vetoes he missed no opportunity to odd to the disappointment and lujnstieo s a Here ft by the claimant by a slander upon the soldier and an insult to tho man. Besides those actually vetoed, he refuiod to sign sororal hundred, permitting them to becocio laws without his signature, because, although nil wero passed by a Democratic House and a ICepublicsn Senate, he wns unwilling to meet the responsibility minosed ou him by the Constitution, by either approval or disipproval. over his own signature. As to what hue bceti dono by the Democratic House of llepreeentatives of tho Fifty-second Congress, in which the Domosratio party has a majority of nearly one, hundred and fifty. I am rontent to let ono of tneir members, a man who was an elector voting lor Mr. Cleveland in lbSH, and who was elected to the Fif ty-8cond Congress as a Democrat, be tho witness. I viur.NCK or a im'-mccxat. "In a speech made near the close of tbe session, speaking of the Democratic majority of the House, ho said: TIcdced to reform, they have not reformed, fledged to economy, they have not economized, l'ledk'ed to leuitdate, tbey Lavo not legislated. Jlxtravarauce has been the order of the day. Absenteeism bus never been so pronoun ceL lack o! purpose never so clear. Luck of common bulLe.NH prudence was never so clarlmr. Pules employes crowd every corridor. Unless expenditures pervade every department. "If we odd to this testimony of ono of their own number the statement that, notwithstanding the 'obloquy sought to bo fastened on the Fifty-first Congress as tho "billion-dollar Congross." tho ttri session of the Fitity-second Couirress exceeded the first teasion of tho so-called "billion-dollar Coujiress'' in tbe amount of its appropriations by about S4.V.000.00O. it would seem that eiiongh has been said, and the wisest of them might well exclaim: 'Where was 1 "Turning now from this record of rooro than incompetency, let us look at the more cheerful record of the recent acts of tho Kopubhean party. The Fifty-lirs: Congress, which, in both Louses, was Kepublican, tbouuh iu th lower House by a very Blender majority, passed so large a number of imptant measures that only the barest allusion run bo made of them, 'l'hn acts admitting six new States to the Union, six new star to the flag; the onii-iottery law, by the enforcement of which tho milts bav been closed to the Louisiana lottery and a mortal wound iallicted upon that

"These are some of the more important measures which will render tho Fifty-tint Congress memorable in tho legislative history of this country. Did time permit an exposition in detail of the benefits resulting to tho country as a wholo and to tho people individually from this legislation would bo both pleasant and profitable. "It is given as a fact by statisticians that as a rule tho sugar consumed in any family costs moro than the flour. In view of this fact, what single provision of legislation enacted in this generation has relieved every home in the land of so great a burden as that removing the duty on sugar, reducing its cost nearly 40 per centT What measure of legislation within this generation has started eo many new industrial enterprises, given renewed and vigorous impulse to so many existing Industries, added so largely to the num ber of persons tinding active employment for capital and remunerative compensation for labor and for the products of the farm, as tbe statistics show has been done by the existing tariil law during tho past two years?

GOOD WORD FOR SPEAKER REED. , "Bat one other achievement of the Fiftyfirst Congress, or rather of tbe House of Representatives and its Speaker, Thomas D. lieed, must never be forgotten. , Tho decision by tbe Speaker that the members of the House by refusing to answer In the roll-call could not break th quorum; that they could not at the same moment be present and absent? that anient ber sitting in his seat, but refusing to answer to his name, was not therefore out of doors or out of town; that seeing was just as good' evidence as bearing: that Congressmen were elected and paid not merely to play a game of hide and seek about the Capitol, but to do the businessof tbe country; the support of that ruling by the Republican majority of the House, and the support of both tho Speaker and the Kepublican majority by the unanimous judgment of the Supreme Court, makrs an era in legislative history tho importanoo of which cannot bo overestimated. Of course, with instinctive legal acumen, and with nnusnal vehemence, the Democracy denounced all these proceedings as utterly unconstitutional and revolutionary. - "As to the achievements of tbe executive, branch of tho government since March 4, time forbids to speak. Of the President, of tbe manner in which be has maintained the dignity and honor of the Nation and the rights of its people abroad, of the general policy of his administration in .domestic atfairs, of the character of his state papers, tho quality of his political appointments, of his fidelity to personal and party pledges, and in the execution of all laws, of his astonishing grasp of all questions arising in every department of the government, in short, of the head of the administration. 1 ehall not speak. He needs no spokesman either in or out of his Cabinet. The country has, 1 think, learned tbat Benjamin Harrison can speak and act for himself. In brief, tho administration needs no higher praise than is found In tho fact that a House of Representatives overwhelmingly Democratic and ravenously hungry for scandal and cause of accusation againss us for use in this campaign was compelled to adiourn after investigations running through eight months without finding evidence on which to found, much less sustain, a substantial indictment against us. "Standing in the focus of all the searchlights of tbe campaign, wo make no excuses, oiler no apologies, ask no "suspension of judgment." Wo say, investigate, scrutinize, tako our word for nothing, but, afar oil or near at band, with glass or naked eye. examine what has been none i'i great things and little things, and on such examination pass judgment on tho claim that this ia an honest, capable, patriotic, business administration." IHG It ALLY AT MAItlON Thousands Hear Wsnauuksr, lltlford, Fairbsnka, Daly and Qthers Speak. Special to the Indtanipolls Journal. Marion, Ind., Nov. 3. The disagreeable weather did littlo to keep down the enthusiasm of Grant county Republicans, who came from every direction this morning and filled tho streets with a noisy, good-natured crowd, who yelled themselves hoarse for Harrison and Reid. Delegations were present from surrounding towns, and oyery township in tho county was represented. Tbe people all over the city displayed tho national colors, and many hundreds of Harrison pictures wero shown Jn tbo windows. Tho parade, which was formed almost exclusively of marching voters, included a body of over threo hundred veterans from tho homo, who were cheered all along tho line.

M. an enormous crowd gathered at Swectser'a (Jrove, east of tho citv. and, although many could not approach within earshot, tho crowd stood fur at It-att an hour in a cutting wind, and listened with marked attention to tLo words of Mr. Wauamaker and the gentlemen who followed. It was a goodhumored andience that greeted Mr. Wauarntiker when be was introduced by Hon. George W, Steele. He limited his talk to an earnest appeal to Hoosier Republicans on behalf of the man who has done honor to Indiana by his administration of public affairs during the past fonr years, lie dwelt at length on the importance of voting on Tuedar next. ami saici mai every muianian snouia see that our Presideut. tbe friend of the soldier, should not giyo place to Grover Cleveland, the vetoer of pension claims. Hon. C. W. Fairbanks was next introduced, and spoke for a low minutes. He said that the grtat questions had all been settled; the verdict had been made up, and was to be read before the Nation on Tuesday next. The great arguments bad all been finished. and the question had been settled in favor of Itenj.tmin Harrison in the hearts ot every Hoosier. The speaker touched on the heavy burdcMi of the tate debt, which hss grown nnder Democratic mismanagement.

and closed by urging on all Republicans the necessity for bringing out a full vote on Tuesday next. When Captain W. F. DaTy. the popular candidate for Congress, was brought forward, he was tendered an ovation which lasted for lome moments. He made a few remarks and made way for tho next speaker. Secretary Halford. who was followed by Jchn jO'iJara and Senator Loveland, of Mianii conntr, ami (). A. Raker, of Marion, candidate lor joint Senator for Grant and Madison. After this round of oratory any crowd, outside of a good, old-fashioned Republican gathering, would have been satisfied. The crowd, however, continued to cry for more, and tbe meeting was converted into a lovefeast. Hundreds of men and women pressod forward and fchook tho' hand of the man who has done so much for the postal servire of the' ctfuntry. The Postmaster-general left for lilultton at 5:04 r. M. The evening celebration, with fire-works and torch-lightv procession, in which five hundred men took part, was followed by a mass-meeting held in the opera-house. It was addressed by Hon. C. W. Fairbanks nnd Private Secretary Halford. Thiaclosed a day full of old-time enthusiasm. A noticeable feature of the day's celebration was the abseuco of plain drunks, and only onr case of attempted pocket-picking had been reported up to this evening. AT I1LUFFTQN. Mr. 'vVanamaker and Mr. Owen Speak la Two Crowded Opern-Houses. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Dluf fton Nov. 3. Although tho weather was bad. yet fivo thousand peoplo attended the Republican rally m this city to-day. Rain in the morning prevented many from coming from the out townships. Rrass bands made Harrison and Reid enthusiasm manifest from every part of tho city and it was a glorious day for Republicans. It was noticeable, too, R that the procession had in it soveral converts from tho -Democratic party. In the afternoon. Hon. W. D. Owen addressed a large audience, devoting the principal part of bis remarks to the tariil question. At night a monstrous torchlight procession paraded tbe streets. The Tippecanoe Club, brought over from Fort Wayne by speoial train and numbering fivo hundred strong, arrived too lato to join tho procession. At night both opeta-houses wero packed to hear the two speakers. Hon. John Wanamaker and Mr. Owen each spoke an hour to. each audienco. In substance Mr. Wanamaker said: "I am not here to-night to only say a good word for my own department, but to speak for ihe whole government. I am here to speak for a great and honest man. If there is a greater man. showing greater common sense and ability, thau Benjamin Harrison I would like to hear his name. Not even Gladstone or Rismarck is superior to your own Benjamin Harrison in intellect or otherwise. Great applause. J For your sake, you, who have tho State pride; for tbe business interests of this country, and for the laborer and his wages, that man should bo put again into the presidential chair. It would not be right or wise to put a man into tho ollico who was not a soldier and who has not theirintercsts at heart. "1 can only , hope that out prejudice will not mislead us in this matter. I submit to you tbat it is your duty and mine to think about the prosperity of our country and then act accordingly. When it comes to the election of a President upon a platform we must jndge the party by that platform. For yoa and me to ait on the fenco because we havo bad men in our parties and say we won't vote is the height of folly. The man with the backbone like Benjamin Harrison is my stylo of a man. 1 never saw a man for whom I had greater respect, 1 never saw a man who took as much pains to understand a great public question as he. "1 only want to say to you in a business sense, our money must be good, our manufactories sustain ed, our laborers well paid. This McKinley bill is a good one. 1'had a. friend who, -before this bill was passed, tried to manufacture worsted goods, lie had toiqmt untiltoJduty of 24 cents was put upon tbe goods. When tho tarift Is too low it turns our mechanics to tbo 'farms. If any men are to walk tbe streets I don't want it to be Americans. To-day you can uuy any American carpets as cheap as they are sold in London.- We aro only doing to-day what is necessary to protect our laborers. Jf men can't invest their money in manufactures how can we have work for enr workmen? Yon ought to consider, in voting, the great interests of this country. We don't want wild-cat money or pauper wages. I am sure you will do your.duty at the election next Tuesday and elect that grand man, Benjamin Harrison." KOIlEKT T. LINCOLN'S CANVASS.

Last Grand Rally at Itrazll Was a Great Demonstration. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil. Ind.VNov. a Tbe great and last Republican rally of the campaign in this county took place hero to-day as Lincoln day. Early in tho morning decorations wero hung from all business houses, and at 11 o'clock tbo streets were profusely decorated. All incoming trains brought hundreds to tha city, until tho crowd swelled to an enormous gathering. Bands leading delegations camo.ln from all directions, and at noon seven bands were in the city. Hon. Robeit T.' Lincoln and his party failed to arrive on the train due here At 1:C4, having missed connection at Indianapolis. However, a special train was made up, for' the company by tbe Vamlalia management, and they reached hero a half hour later.' They were mot at tha depot and enthusiastically cheered as tho train palled in. The speakers were earerted in open carriages, preceded by six brass bands and a drum corps, as well as by numerous clubs, to the Uyourg Hotel, where they were called on by eoveral citizens. The speakers were then escorted to the rolling-mills, where the speaking took place. As the speakers ascended to stand great cheering was indulged in, r jich lasted for several minutes. Mr. J. A. McNutt introduced Mr. Lincoln cud ho arose amid great applause and opened his address by commenting on tho picturesque surroundings. He said that this mill bud to be enlarged to supply the trade and this was an evidence that prosperitv reiuned in Brazil. His discussion on the tariff was to the point, showing up its benefits to all classes. Mr. Lincoln ws followed by John M. Butler and H. W. Brownlee, who made good speeches, and were enthusiastically cheered. Tho crowd was estimated by conservative obsorvors between eighteen tboasand and twenty thousand people, by far the largest crowd ever seen in tho cit3 To-night theTe was a largo torch-light procession, in which over three thousand people participated. Speeches wero made, by Mayor Cape, of Greencastlo, and Thaddeus !:i11ins; of Indianapolis. Mr. Lincoln left Brazil immediately after tho meeting for Terre Haute, where be was to make a short speech, and then hasten on to bnllivan, where the biggest rally in Sullivan county in this campaign is in progress, and where he upoko to-night.

The Suini Old Cry. Host on Jcnrnal. This shriek which is going ud from tho Democratic pros and politic ians all oyer the countrv that tbe Republicans ore going to carry the election by the corrupt use of money is by no means novel. It has often been heard before. It is a fact which many persons may not bo nwaro of tbat the same cry was raised against Lincoln in ltco that is being raised against Harrison in 1S'.C. It is the last refuge of Bourbon unscrnpuloiisuess. It is well understood by men inside the councils of both parties in this State, that, for every dollar ra-o-lved nnd expended by tbe Repnblieana of late years, the Democrats have received and expended two, and the same thing is doubtless true of many other States besides Massachusetts. .

Dr. Heber Newton, rector of Episcopal Church of All ouls, at Sixty-sixth street and Madison avenue, has reported the charges as "not proven." Tho commission decided "that the catholicity of the Episcopal Church was broad and sufficiently large to allow n man to preach according to his moods. Tho utter, ances of Dr. Newton must be ascribed to his mood, and wo trust that he, upon consideration, will see his way clear to revoking the utterances in question." Dr. Newton has been informed of the decision, and, now that tho cloud that has been banging over his head for twelve months has beeu removed, he has arked his congregation for a twelve months' leave of absence in order that he may have complete rest and change

TIU1LLKYS FOIt FAllSIS. Uses to Which Electricity 31 ay Be Pat in the Rural Districts. , Philadelphia Record. Tbo improvement of tho country roads around l'hiladelphia in the past fow years and tho cheapness of coal hero would seem to make it poesiblo to use electricity in ways that were not dreamed of a few years ago. The advocates of the new plan say tbat in a good farming country, whero there is a creditable amount of stuff to be hauled to the city, it is ortirely plausible to establish a central power-house, and from this to generate electricity for a number of uses. The wires could be run along tho main road if the power-house is situated on one. and from this branches extend in as many directions as the business would warrant. Aside from the carrying of passengers, which would be conducted in the same way as now, tbe electric railway connecting with some steam railroad, tho electrio current .could bo used in a variety of other ways. , With traction wagons, such as aro commoner in the West than here, all the hauling of tno neighborhood could be done. It would reqnire no change in the construction of the farm wagons, for they could be loaded as now and picked up along the road by the traction wagon. The only limit to tbe number of wagons that might be taken in one train would be the power and strength of the hauling machinery. All the farmer would have to do would be to have his load made up in the morning and then to stay at home and attend to his work while bis wagon was taken to town in. tho electrical tram, and the contents disposed of there by an agent. There would be no limit to the load which be could ship at one time except the capacity of his wagon. Most of his horses could bo dispensed with, and shipments could be made more quickly and in greater quantities than now. The use of the power from' the troljeywire need not be limited to traction on the road, however. Tho wire could be tapped for every farm and tbe power used tor general farm purposes. The mowing-machine could be drawn by electricity, instead of horses. The threshing could be done without the use of a traveling steam engine, with its expense for fuel and attendants. Even 'butter could be churned by electricity and the drudgery of farm work generally reduced. Carrying the idea still further, it is even suggested that the country roads could bo lighted with electricity and electrio lights introduced into the farm-house, illuminating it brightly and making it more cheerful. From the stand-point of tbe suburban resident every railroad station of any importance would be connected by trolley railways with the country lying about it, and in this way the area of territory available for suburban residences would-be greatly enlarged. ' Small manufacturing establishments, as well as the farmers, could have their freight carried to and from the stations, saving tho teaming that now often eatsmnch of tbe profits. Electricians look forward to these developments as the natural growth of a few years. Philadelphia, with its . groat suburban population, and rich farming country all about if, would, seem to bo peculiarly a locality whoro such ideas could bo (put iuto v profitable practice. Unfortunately, however, it cannot be said that at present there is any perceptible progress toward their materialization. m , m , SIMI-LY AS A REMINDER. Production of Tiu-Plate in a Year Jumps from 830,022 Pounds to 10,052,722. New York Press. Special Agent Ira Ayro's report to the Treasury Department, dated Oct. 24, shows that during tbe three months ending Sept. SO, 1S02, the United States produced 10.2.2' pounds of tin and tcrno plates, against b'-C,y2 pounds produced by live firms during the same quarter last year. Of the total production for tho quarter, 5.9-0,0?2 ponnds, or more than 51 per cent, were made from genuine American black plates. Tbe amount of American sheet-iron and steel mado into articles and wares tinned or terno-coated during tho past quarter was l.0,000 ponnds. This makes the total production during the quarter, of tin and terne plates, about G.00O tons. On the basis of present output the production for the coming fiscal year will bo about 175.000,00 pounds. Special Agent Ayre reports:1 "It seems probable that during the liscal year ending JuneLO, 1804. which will be the third year that the McKinley law will bavo beeu in force, the United Statos will produce an amount of tin and terne plates equal to its own consumption, nearly all of which will bo made from American black plates. On Sept. 80, 1812, tho price iu New York of English tin-plates, wholesale I C, 14 by 20 regular. 112 sheets, weighing 103 pounds, was $5.b?l2 per box, against $".45 tor the corresponding date of 1891. American tinplates of the same grade were quoted, at the same date, from 5.25 to 5.:-j, eo that consumers are paying less thau a year ago. The average of wages paid iu the rollingmill work in this country is from two to three times as great as in England, and in the linishiug or tinning department about twico as great. . Assuming that tho United States will consume seven million boxes a year two years hence, at f5 per box. tbo valne of the entire yearly output- would then be .- 000.000. At least 80 per cent, of this amount, or $28,000,000. will be paid out in wages. The ligures herewith presented aro taken from tho sworn statements of manfacturcrs. The Now York World fDem.) said in a leading editorial on July 0. 18'.'1: ''The tinplate twlndlo in tho McKinley law is now fairly developed. All the thin pretenses about the establishment of a tin-plato industry in this country are gone. The loudest and brassiest of the tin-plato organs are ashamed to repeat them. There is no tinplate industry iu America, nor any sign of on" Many Democrats repeated this statement.

The works ofJXathaniel Hawthorne havo taken an assured place in the book world, and will hold it permanently. In imaginative literaturo he hardly has a peer.and the poetic atmosphere with which ho invests hisprose worksisoneof thehigbest achievements of genius. "Tho Marble Faun" was his first novel the sccno of which was not laid in New England. The scene of this was laid . in Italy, where, also, its plot was sketched. In tre preface to tho work the author said. "So author without a trial can conceive tbe ditlicnltv of writing a romance about a country where thero is no ehadow, no antiquity, no mystery, no picturesque and gloomy wronir, nor anything but a common-place prosperity in broad and simple daylight." All those elements which Hawthorne found lacking iu America existed in rich abundance in Italy, and his glowing imagination made effective use of them in "The Marble Faun." The work has been greatly admired by discriminating readers. A Mew England poet writes: Who e'er the life of Italy would know 'j:re liome arose, while yet her seven hills Wero haunted thicket?, ho must surely go To Hawthorne's pnire his mj stlo ceulus fills Tho prehistoric void, the sylvan days.
