"Ilctarn, Victoria, and All Will ; Bo Torgiven," lT?re the Words That Ercrtght the Ea-uwiij Couple Back. to Yorkers The Result Tery Unsatisfactory to the Couplo Fronibltioa in Iowa Tho Haina Election. THE RÜNAWAY COtl'Li:. Tb;Rtnrn to YoDkr-Mm. Schelling id Arrested for tli Larceny of a Diamond Pin At Schilling's OU Lodgings. Vitt York, Sept. 14. Mrs. Ernest J. Sendling, nee Mcroeini, returned to the house of ler parents, at Yonkers, in company with her husband, cn the train that arrived there fiom Troy, at 5.22 this morning. Theretarn was the result cf negotiations, which tare been pending two days between the runaway couple and Morosini. Mr. and Mrs. Schelling, who have been stopping in Troy since the elopement, took a carriage at the station and drove to the Morosini mansion. Mrs. Schelling entered the house alone, her husband remaining a short distarceaway. The youn? woman remained indoors about aa hour. What took place is not certainly known, but it is understood the grief-stricken parents besought the t'aegbter to renounce her husband and come back to their care. The father, however, absolutely refused to recognize Schelling as his darshter's husband. The daughter as resolutely ret'a?ed to give nr her husband and left the house and rejoined Schelling. The newly married couple then drove to a hotel on Riverside avenue. Mrs. Morosini's condition was reported as extremely critical in the evening, and she is not expected to live through the nicht; When Captain Mangin, of the Yorkers police, was informed of the arrival of the runaway couple he bolted out of bed, says the New "iork Tribnne, and hurriedly dresed himself, and then he started on a run for the depot Half way down they came on to Schelliug and three women about to turn . Into Riverdale avenue thoroughfare, which leads to the Morosini home. "Guess you had better come with me to the station." said Mangin to Schellin:, "and let me go and apprise Mr. Morosini of your arrival." ; Schelling showed no anxiety to meet his father-in-law, and in a few minutes the ! (arty were seated in the Captain's private ' mom in the station. The new-made wife I (ksped the coachman tenderly about !iis neck and kissed him time " and time agdn. He returned her ; earewes, bat kept a sharp watch on the door . as if expectinz at any moment to see the towering form of Moronsini entering the , station. The bride expressed a desire to eat i something, and the waiter brought over ham, ( eges, coffee and spread them on a wooden i table in the room. At 8:30, just as the last ) remnants of breakfast were being eaten, a hack rattled up to the door of the ' station and Captain Mangin got out, and the dark features of the young man remained inside. He waa Attila P. Morosini, : the eldest sou of Morosini. Iiis face was ' rale. but showed no evidence of excitement. - Captain Maogin told Mrs. Schelling, or IIul- ; stamp, Der brother wished to see her outside. Victoria walked to the open door of thd carriage. What was said by tie brother to the sister could not be ieard; that they didn't shake hands was plain. Attila was urging the newly married wife to do something she was resolute in declining to do. Once he stretched out his arm and, half clasping her about the waist, sought by gentle force to pull her into the vehicle beside him. She drew away from him and again entered the station and rejoined her husband. At this juncture the yovng man, whose face had grown palerthan evr during the brief interview, got out of the carriage and followed hid sister into the si&tion. As he did so Captain Mangin called y belling and his wife from the private room and the pair toed confronting young Morosini boore the desk. The Italian's black eyes rUihed only for an instant as his gaze fell on ; t8 new brother-in-law, but he said nothing end didn't stir. "I must say to yoa, Mr. Jchelling," said Captain Mangin, "I am compelled to detain your wife here as a prisoner." "What have I done that I should be arrested for it," said the young woman, ker bosom beginning to heave; 'you can not arrest me for marrying the man I love." i "Madam," replied the Police Captain, "I have a warrant here charging you with grand ljrceny in stealing a diamond pin valued at JTO from your sister." "It is false, it is false. This is the work ol tiy people," cried the accused woman, now thoroughly aroused. She advanced to the railing in front of the desk, and her eyes blazed with defiance at her brother and the Captain. "It is all their doing," she con tinned; "they have deceived and betrayed me, thsy have written me false letters and sent false promises. I don't care if every one in the house were dead, I will never return to them. I have stolen nothing. Here is the pin you want, nd I took it in a hurry in leaving home, thinking it was my own," and she laid the glittering jewel on the desk. "My Bieter and myself have each a pin ante, only mine is more than twice aa valuable. I will gladly exchange with her." "We have stolen nothing," said Schelling, th re win 2 back his shoulders and glancing vidictively at his brother-in-law; "we have brought back everything we took away." "Ob, that I should have been so deceived aa to trust them, when I felt in my heart they would deceive," said the wife. "It is true I ran away and was married. I love my husband dearly, and would do it again. They shall never separate us, shall they, ray dear onef and she took Schelling's arm and clung U him affectionatelv. Nevertheless Captain Mangin went through ihs formal questions and entered the followia?on the official blotter: Victoria Hulskacnp, aee twenty fix, a white native of the "Dai ted States, ia charged with stealing a atii-nond pin of the value ol $70. Do yoa make the complaint?" he asked of young Moroaini. "Yes," replied the latter, and the young man left the staton. Mrs. Hnlskamp renewed her lamentations after bis departure. "If they take me into court," she said. "I will give their cause a sorrow which they wlH ever regret. For twenty-six years they bsve bad me in the State's prison, and when Ibieak away and marry the man of my choice they entrap me snto their snare gain. Captain Mangin then sent for Justice Pentz nd explained that he thought the charge of larceny was only made as an excuse to hold Mrs. Hulskamp "Then I will parole yoa madam until September 22, at 9 a. m., on your own recogni-

) zatice," said the Justice. Freed thus, Mr. l cßd Mis. llerlskamp drove up Riverdale Avenue, half way to the Moroslne mansion at Kiverdale Avenue and Ludlow streets, I to the liquor store of Henry Warner.

It is a plain, unpainted two-story framehouse. Up stairs over the liquor store is a room that waa occupied by Schelling while in Mr. Morasinis employ as coachman. When tbe vehicle got opposite the old quarters, Schelling alighted and hurried into the beer shop, where he was warmly greeted bv the proprietor. "Mrs. Hulskamp continued on her journey to her father's house, where full lonrivenea was ottered if she would consent to leave her husband. She demsndod that he be recognized, but Morosini swore he should never darken his doorway while he lived. Then the wife said she would never leave Ler husband, who was so dear to her heart, snd bitterly reproached her father with having her arrested. Mrs. Schelling later rejoined her husband in his old room over Warren's liducr store, and there they were when night came. "I bet yer that Eyetalian will carry off his daughter by main force besore she will be left to Schelling." remarked a Yonkers policeman to a Tribune reporter. "Come back, Victoria, and all will be forgiven," were the words of the note which brought Mrs. Schelling and her husband back to Yonkers. THE DEED OF A FIEND Oliver But eman Makes a Full Contention of the Killing of tbe McLaughlin Jirl. Savannah, Mo., Sept. 0. Oliver Biteman, in his confession as to the killing of the young McLaughlin girls, says he was at home when the girls went there. He saw them go intoj the woods to pick hazelnuts, and followed them within fifteen minutes afterward. They were near the edge of a cornfield when he came up with them. While talking with tbem he saw Henry Ktappenberger pass. He then induced the children to eo further into the cornfield, and while the eldest was walking in front of him he shot her with a twenty-two calibre ball, and when she turned around he shot her with a thirty-two calibre ball, killing her instantly. The smallest girl started to run, when he followed and caught her. She begged so hard for him to let her go that he says he came very near allowing her to do so. He did let her go, but knowing that she would tell, he;followed and caught herairain, threw her down and cut her throat. It was fifteen or twenty minutes after Knappenberger passed before he shot the eldest girt After killing the youngest girl he went back to his first victim and outraged her person, and then mutilated her person to create the impression that it was the deed of a crazy man. He relates that the eldest said nothing after he shot her, and that he held his hand ever the mouth of the youngest to prevent her cries being heard. He aays after all these horrible occurrences he went to the creek, washed his hands, threw bis knife in tbe stream and went home. When the father of the girls came to his house inquiring for tbem, he wanted to go and help in the search for them, but his relatives would not allow him, as they thought he was ill. The fiend declares he was induced to confess owing to the circumstantial manner in whicn Henry Knappenberger had accused him of tbe crime. FROHILtlTIOX IN IOWA. The Saloon Keeper of Keokuk Growing Kfoki k, sept. 14. The war on the saloons assumed a new phase yesterday, in which the liquor men took a bold and aggressive stand. Yesterday the stock of Brown t Crocker of the Senate saloon was seized upon a search warrant sworn out by the President of the Law and Order League. This afternoon Brown t Crocker secured a writ of replevin from the Clerk of the District Court, gave bond for damages, and the Sheriff demanded the liquors of the constable, who gave them up. The President of the Law and Order Lsague then got out new warrants and seized the liquors of Brown & Crocker, at the Stanleigh House, and at the Senate saloon. Part of this seizure included the replevined gods. The liquors are now guarded by an officer. The attorneys of the Law and Order League assert that liquors can not be replevined, and that the Supreme Court has so held. A motion will be made in the District Conrt to dissolve the injunction and ask for the return of all the liquor?. Another motion will be tiled before Justice Lynch, who issued the search warrant, seeeing to have Brown fc Crocker, their attorneys, and the law officers brought into court for contempt. The grand jury is in session, and further action by the temperance people, taey say, will be to secure indictments of the parties mentioned for conspiracy. The fight between the liquor men and the Law and Order League over the enforcement of the prohibitory liquor law is growing hotter, and further developments are eagerly looked for. FREAKS OF A CYCLONE. Clear Lake Completely Devastated Some or the Inhabitant Stripped or all Their Worldly Possessions. St. Paul, Minn., Sept 10. A special dispatch from Clear Lake, Wis., late yesterday afternoon, says a cyclone struck that town and devastation was the result. The greater part of the town is in ruins, and three lives were lost. The scene after the storm passed olf was horrid in the extreme. Men, women and children were running about in a perfect frenzy of excitement and fear. Here and there people could be seen coming out of their cellars almost paralyzed with fear. The strongest man was as a little child, for no human power conld havd resisted thejterrible force. One bouse of brick veneer was taken from its foundation and turned wholly round, while the bricks were peeled from the wood as if sliced off. A large barn was blown away, leaving the ti&or and mangers with the horses eating their supply of bay. A little child was taken in the arm of the tempest and landed in the branches of a tree and but slightly hurt. One large frame house was blown away completely out of sight, and not one particle of the house or furniture could be found, though search for a mile was made in' the track of the storm. Tbe family had fortunately taken refuge in the cellar. Many families are left destitute, not a ve3tage of their worldly possessions being left. Death mt Hon. John K. Ken. Bpecial to the Sentinel. WiscriESTER, Sept. 1". Hon. John K. Neff, ex-Gecretary of State, died at 9:3 o'clock tonight, at the residence of his father. Mr. Neff was among the most prominent men of the State. fc, corning the Ilea of Arbitration With China. Fris, Sept. 15. Le Paris publishes an inspired article to-day, in which the idea that Franc should accept arbitration in the difficulty with China is indignantly rejected. France, it says, is determined to settle her differences with China herself.

l'.CTLEK IX NEW YORK.

An ImmeuMe Audience Assemble at Union qnare to Listen to General Kotier on tbe I'eople'a I'artj. New York, Sept 15. Between 15,000 and 20,000 people assembled at Union Square tonight to hear General I. F. Butler speak. It required the services of half a dozen policemen to make a passageway for the General to reach the stand. He was loudly cheered. The crowd was composed largely of laboring men. Dr. Ferdinand Seeger called tbe meeting to order and introduced Louis F. Tost, aa Cnairman of the evening. Mr. Post, in a brief address, introduced "tbat great American Governor, General B. F. Butler," The cheers that greeted the General as he came to the front continued several minutes. When quiet was gained, Butler said ia part: "Friends and Fellow Citizens Thanking you for jour kind greeting, 1 assume your deep interest ia the affairs of the country and the political med3ures which should be taken to relieve them has bioupht so vast an audience together. This is, indeed, a ratification by great New York of the inauguration of the people's party, the true Democracy. Unlike the Irborcd, ttdious and involved platforms of other political parties, tbat cf the people's party is short, incisive and comprehensive of every principle for the coodnnt of the Government of the Republic and can be easily carried in the memory of each. It is this: Equality of right, equality of burdens, equality of powers, equality of privileges to all men. Under this law none can deny that these were the fundamental doctrines of the fathers of this Republic, adopted by Jefferson, elaborated by Madison and executed by Jackson They were the doctrines of the Democracy when that party was indeed a party of the peeple, uncontrolled by corraptionists and monopolists. I need not argue to yon that in these latter days that Inequality of rights, powers, burdens vaad privileges have been imposed by Governmental action on the people. Corportions on which public functions are imposed, and to whom public franchises are granted should be the servants of the people only. But how contrary the practice of railroads, elevated and surface. As soon as incarporated, by ingenious, and most often fraudulent, contrivances they erect tnemselves into a terrific and outrageous monopoly by means of which the people are robbed of their earnings. Their business hindered and crushed, and many impoverished for the sole benefit of the few. The people have endeavored to protect them&elyes by granting charters to compefng railroad lines, which promised to procure them lower prices for fare and freight; but it is ad axiomatic fact that railroad competition always ends in railroad combination, and that combination is most frequently directed t3 the destruction of other modes of transportation, which they can not control. The capacity of the Erie Canal should have been enlarged years ago, and is there a man who hears me that does not know it would have been done had it not been for tLe persistent, united and selfish opposition of the railroads. Let it not be said this is a State question. It rises to much broader and higher proportions. It is a national one. The burden of the goods brought upon the Erie Caaal to the city of New York exceeds the ocean traffic from the city of New York, and here is done more than two-thirds of the commercial business of the country. This, now, is a great national frte water way. II any internal improvements of rivers and harbors of waterways by the General Government can be justified, why is not enlargement of this canal by appropriations a most worthy object, excepting, perhaps, the improvement of the great Father of Waters, the Mississippi? With an alteration of Democratic and Republican Congressmen from the State of New York, which has power enough to control tbe nomination and election of President of the United State, why has not some one Representative moved this in Congress? The answer goes back again the railroads would be opposed to it. They do not oppose the improve me at of the Mississippi River, which is therefore made. Cheap transportation means cheap food for the men in the Fast, and cheap food means higher wages and more comfort. Cheap transportation means an opening for nanufrcturers, workmen and artisans in the Fast to supply men and women in the West, who if they can obtain fair prices for their provisions can buy those productions. Ought there not be laws passed by Congress, ueder their great Constitutional power, to reguJate inter-State commercs by which The food of the West and the comtort3 of the East should be interchanged at the cheapest rate. All special privileges and special burdens for the benefit ot the few should be taken for the lives and comfort of the many. General Butler's speech evoked great applause, and the crowd wanted him to continue. As he retired the Chairman iatro duced Ex-Senator Thomas F. Grady as the little Napoleon of the Sixth, the silvertongued orator of Tammany Hall, but who had come to eo in for Butler. When General Butler retired the meeting gradually dispersed. General Butler and Grady also spoke at each of the side stands, creating the same en thnsiasm as at the main stand. General Bntler afterward held a reception in the Fifth Avenue HoteL Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake was among the listeners on the main platform. CALKINS AT FRANKLIN. He is Accompanied by the Inevitable Rhodv and Other Office Seeker. Bpeclal to the Senttneh FBAssrijjf,' Ind., Sept 1'. For several weeks tij Republicans have advertised that Calkins would address that party here to-day. At 1 p. m. a crowd of about 500, composed of about 125 Republican voters, that many wemen and children, and 250 Democrats, who took pity on them, assembled at the Court-house to hear "Bre'r" talk. Alter he had warmed up he jumped on to the tariff, and I will here give one of his strong points in favor of a protective tariff. He says: There is a tariff of 20 per cent on wool. If the Democrats succeed and elect their candidates this tariff will be taken off, and wool will fall to seven to . ten cents per pound, and then the farmers will have to kill their sheep as they can't sell wool for that, and then when they have killed all their sheep foreign nations will say you must give us, well, fifty cents per pound for wool;; thenyou pay twice aa much for woolen goods as yoa do now." This was Calkins' main pout on the tariff. He then jumped on to Logan's record, and showed how he took his regiment and went through the war with great credit, but he did not tell how the Government forced Logan into the Union Army after he had raised a company for the Confederate Army, or how about the Black laws of Illinois that Logan was the daddy of. Calkins gave his reason for Tating for Blaine, and that was because he was a magnetic man, but did not state anythiag about his war record, the Mulligan letters, Little Rock Railroad bonds, or

anything of that kind. It was the thinnest political slush ever dished out in tnis city, and if the Republicans will only send such men as Calkins out over tbe country that p&rty will never be heard of after November. Calkins was accompanied by Rhody Shield, Bruce Carr and Mr. Mitchell, as a body guard, to help "paint the district red," and increase the Democratic majority in this State and county; and to pav that tbe Republicans here are sick and down-in-the-mouth but feebly expresses it, and shows that they think and know they will lose. MORE MULLIGAN LETTERS.

Mr, Mulligan Publishes Some More Rlalue Letters, and Promise Another Installment The Maine Majority Out for Cleveland, Special to the Sentinel. Boston, Sept. 15. The publication of additional letters seriously compromising Blaine has created a profound impression here and will add much to the already powerful anti-Blaine Republican movement. The Journal has an editorial claiming that this "persecution" will help Blaine. It dares not print the letters in full, but gives one garbled extract of the whole matter. The Traveller says it is a desperate move to keep the people's attention from the tariff. Mr. James Mulligan was seen to-day. He said: "Let them chew on that awhile, and I will then give them another do3e." Mr. Mulligan Las been approached by Republicans who offered him a large sum tD suppress the evidence he has of Blaine's rascality. He wculd never have made these -fresh one3 public had not the Blaine papers impugned his honesty and abused him outrageously. The Post has tbe official returns fooi Maine, with only ten small towns missing, snd the Republican majority is a trifle below 15,000. The towns to hear from are all Democratic and will reduce the majority to about 11,500. Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven, Conn., having been referred to by the Palladium of that city as a misguided man, who was on tbe point . of indorsing Cleveland, became provoked, and is out in a strong letter sayiDg that he shall vote for Cleveland, and urge all of his friends to do tbe same, i "AN UNQUESTIONED LIAR." j Senator Voorliees Opens Up a Fine Opport inity for a Lving Republican to Break Into the Penitentiary. Special to the Sentinel . Txkkk Haute, Sept. 14. The Vincenscs Commercial, the Indianapolis Jonrnal and Times published an fdleged conversation between Senator Voorhees and General Miason, which they say was overheard by a gentleman of "unquestioned veracity" on the cars between Indianapolis and Terre Hatte, in which they are made to say that the Dmocrats can not carry the State, and that the Blaine-Sentinel libel suit was losing the Democrats many votes. The correspondent of the Sentinel saw Senator Voorhees to lay just as he was leaving for Evansville, where he speaks to-night The Senator said: j "The statement is wholly untrue. If the mendacious scoundrel who pretends to. hure overheard such a conversation between General Manson and me will put his statement in the form of an affidavit, and in such a way as to come within the jurisdiction of any Criminal Conrt 1 will agree to send him to the penitentiary for perjury on the oath of General Manson, supported by my own and that of another gentleman who heard what passed between us on the political outlook in Indiana. For weeks past as my friends all know, I have believed the State was Democratic by 15,000 majority, and I so stated to General Manson on the occasion above referred to, and in this opiaion he concurred. The informant of the Vincennes paper, whichvoochsafes for his 'unquestionable veracity' is simply an unquestioned liar." Senator Voorhees says he finds the Democrats everywhere organized and conhdent of a glorious victory. REPUBLICAN OUTRAGE MILL. The Method Cued by Republican to Get a Crowd and Their Modus Operandi of the Manufacture of an Outrage. Special to the Sentinel. EnooKviLi.E, Sept. 14. The grand rally of our Republican friends came off Friday with the drawing cards of Calkins, Holstein and Goddard, and if the Democrats had Btayed out of town there would not have been a respectable ward meeting. After drumming the surrounding country and towns for weeks the dear people again failed to enthuse, and at night they had 225 men and boys in line, including 125 from Conner3ville, and the way they got them to come was an outrage. Two days before a colored man came down from Connersville with his employer to work on a job of work here, and failing to obtain boarding for him where the rest of the men were boarding, sent him back to work on other jeba. Now, even before this negro had left Brook vi lie, some infamous scoundrel sends a dispatch to Con nersville stating that he has been run out of Brookville, and that tbe copperheads would allow no nigger to stay in Brookville. Tbe next day'a long article from some low-down -kunfc appeared in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, corroborating the infamous lie and libeling the people of Franklin County of all parties. On the day before the meeting announced several letters of warning were received from Connersville, stating that the darkies were indignant, and that white and colored roughs were coming down from Connersville to clean out the town, and the Democrats went to work to avert the trouble, and after much talk the Republican managers finally sent word to Connersville that the article was not true: but ouite a crowd came from Conneraville, and I am informed that each man was furnished with a gun for an emergency. 8uch are Republican methods, but they will sot work. The people understand their objects and their days are numbered. No wonder they are getting desperate. Governor Gray In Greene County. Bpeclal to tbe Sentinel. Bloomfikld, Ind., Sept. 14. At an early hour Friday merning the citizens of this (Greene) county began to congregate, and by noon tbe town was full of people, who came to hear our next Governor, Colonel Isaac P. Gray. Each train brought in full delegations from all portions of the county, and the citizens ot our neighboring town of Worthlngtoa came with their band and Glee Club, which, together with the Bloomfield TUnd and Qlee Club, enlivened the occasion with an abundance of music and soul-stirring songs. The largest crowd that has assembled in this campaign was in attendance to hear Colonel Gray, our gallant candidate for Governor. The speaker made a fine

speech, and the same wa3 well received and highly complimented by many of our leading Republicans. The crowd wa3 ea'.imat'-'d at from 2,000 to 2,500. The Democracy of Greene County is in splendid condition, with no dissension in her ranks; and with the strongest ticket ever nominated in the county the outlook is favorable for the ticket, from Representative down to Coroner. Voorhees is billed for Wortbinton for next Thursday, the IStb, when another larsa crevd will be in attendance, as the Sanatir is the nicfct populir speaker that comes to our county, and his presence and speeches always create enthusiasm. Look for a reduced Republican majority from this county this year. THE CHOLERA.

Much Damage Done by the Unprecedented Blee la the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivera. Eac Claiee, Wis., Sept 11. Both the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers began falling at noon, after reaching the unprecsdented height of twenty-six feet, three feet higher than the great Hood of 18S0. Every bridge on the Chippewa has gone out five railroad bridges and five wagon bridges. J In this city the less to property is appalling. No satisfactory estimate can be made at this time. In and between Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire the loss will not fall Bhort of 1.500,000, and may greatly exceed that sum. The Eau C.'aire Gas Company loses 050 tens of coal and all their buildings, valued at $45,000. Business houses on all sides of the two rivers are submerged. Great apprehension is felt lest when the waters recede the foundations may be bo much impaired as to crumble the walk. In this city over 200 houses have been swept away. Only one life was lost as far as heard from. While this dispatch is being written three buildin gton Bridge street, on the West Side, have fallen. They belonged to Fred Bunnell, A. D. Chappell and J.

A JIONSIEIt RATIFICATION

Of Cleveland and Hendricks at the Nation's Capital-Speakins From Three Stands to Iiunieniie Audiences. Wasmisgtos, D. C, Sept. 11. The Democracy of the District of Columbia ratified the nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks by a grand open air demonstration, to-night. There was a street parade with some 4,000 in line, of local Democratic organizations and Democratic Clubs from the country, and at a meeting on the plaza in front of the City Hall, speeches from men prominent in tbe Democratic ranks and the adoption of resolutions expressive of loyalty of the Democrats of the' District to the standard bearers of the party constituted the important features of tbe ratification. Electric lights and a grand display of fireworks, flag?, music and booming of cannon were the accompaniments. The meeting proper was held direct in front of the City Hall, and the largo plaza was packed with a dense gatheriner, numbering many thousands, who ? tre addressed from three sides simultaneously. The principal stand was erected cn the portico of the City Hall, and just behind tbe Lincoln statue, which was magnificently decorated with the Nation's emblems; portraits of tbe candidate?, and tbe flags of all nations being prominently displayed". E'ectric lights, Chinese lanterns and gas made the scene es brilliant a3 day. On the principal stand were the leaders of the District Democracy and eminent sneakers from abroad. A large concourse of people filled all tbe space on the City Hall portico and the stairs in the rear of this stand, A feature of this gathering, as of the main body of spectators, was a large proportion of ladies present. The first of the regular speakers of the evening, Hon. Jere II. Murphy, of Iowa, Eaid he hoped the enthusiasm of this meeting was as earnest as that with which the Democracy of the Union would, next March, piace in the Presidential chair the nominee the present Governor of New York. The principal reason he had for the faith that tbe Darnocratic nominee would be elected was that people had demanded a change, in order that they might have a settlement and an opportunity to examine the cash account of the Nation. He alluded to Republican tyranny in Iowa in enacting a prohibition läw there after having invited immigration to tbat State in the name of liberty. He thanked God that the law did not, in his State, receive a single Democratic vote. Ha thought the people should eat what they chcose, drink what they choose and worship Gcd as they please. That was Democratic doctrine. That party proposed to allow the German to drink his beer, the Frenchman to drink his wice, the Irishman hi3 whickyand the American to drink them all. Senator Jones, of Florida, then addressed the meeting. He said: "Victory is in the air. We are going to have a change; the decree has gone forth, and in November it will be recorded that the united Democratic party will place its candidate in the White House, and do cot intend to be cheated out of it" He then alluded to what he called "the great fraud ef '70," and said "we are going to right that great wrong at this election." Conciudipg, he said the Democratic party will not die. It will resist the empire of decay. When time is o'er and worlds nave p&ei away. Cold in dust the perished heart may lie, But that which wsrmed it once will never die. General Bradley T. Johnson, of Maryland, was the next speaker. He reviewed the victories of the Democratic party under seme of its great leaders, and said the occasion now before the American people to take control cf the Government is more important than when Jett'erson called the people to arms and Jackson led them. In the struggle in which the people are now engaged there has been contest after contest. The rights and privileges of the people have been usurped by a party that has long ceased to be anything but a party of plunder. The people won the election in 187G, and elected Tilden to be President, and they were deprived of their rights and disfranchised before the world by tbe army of the United States under the control of the Secretary of War. The Democracy bad the country in 18S0, when the franchise of Indiana was purchased with ?2 bills by a leader of the Republican party. The conspiracy now sgainst the people, he continued, is ttrorger, more vicious and more deeply fraught with eyil than ever before. He severely criticised the legal tender opinion of the Supreme Court, and said that under the Republican party the Government had taken charge of the ballot boxes in the States, and had provided for the supervision 01 elections. lhey had done this as well as taken charge of the property of the country; they have done this with the deliberate purpose of getting more power, in order that they may have more plunder, in order that they may perpetuate their power. Alluding to the nomination of Blaine, the speaker said the Republican party had made a proper and appropriate nomination. They gave to the country of all men the very exemplar and exponent of their principles. He said he supposed they had assurances that "he will be no dead-head" in the position of President of the United States. There was not a railroad speculator in the country, not a lobbyist, not a jobber on Wall street or a speculator in public lands thnt opposed him; Concluding, he said: "The issue is whether you will hav an honest government of honest men, administered in a simple, frugal way, or whether you will have a erand gift enterprise, with a chance for everybody to steal comething." Speeches were also made by Representative Post, Secretary of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Representative Ellis, of Louisiana, Two large overllow meetings were addressed by General Rosecrans, General Eppa Hunton and E. E. Meredith, of Virginia. The latter alluded to General Mahone as the second Judas Iscariot. Great enthusiasm was displayed throughout, and the assemblage dispersed at a late hour with cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks. Death of Colonel W. C. Klse A Mystery.
