He continued: "Bear in mind that this was the actual condition while the McKinley law was still In force, and before an arm had been lifted by the denuTiil.; onsres3 to change the existing law. These ar? the stubborn facts with which the republican leaders are now confronted.

Thrre nver was a mom nt that I w -uhi rat pladly have given the castitur vor n tho senate in favor of the tariff bill a-i it passed the house of representatives. I'or Free Ilnw Mutrriut. "From the beginning I have been a firm believer in the doctrine of free raw material. Itut It must not be forgotten that while the house of representatives contained a d-moeratic majority of near one hundred, our majority was but one in the senate. In fact, with every state fully represented In that body th-re would probably have been no democratic majority at all. The senate contain d but forty-four democrats, and, with the republican senators votiog solidly against the bill at every stage, it can easily be Fe n that in a body so nearly balanced, tariff reform had no easy battle to fight. At this critical moment of the struggle the bill was only saved by the casting vote of the presiding officer of the senate. I have thus gone Fomewhat into details in order' that you may realize something cf the difficulties umlrr which the present law was en-aet-d. Recalling, as I do, the hostility of republican senators, to the tariff bill from the mom?nt it crossed the threshold of that chamber, I can only wonder that it ever became a law. Firmly believing, as I do, that beneficial results must follow its passage, I rejoice with you in Ita triumph,' and that the McKinley law is no longer upon our statute books. Snznr Iiounty. "The McKinley law gave to the ugar planters a bounty of 2 cents a pound upon their product. This was to extend for a period of fifteen years from the passage of the bill. It was paid out of the treasury of the United States, and amounted during the last year to the enormous sum of $12.000.000. The tariff bill Just passed by a democratic congress repeal-d this Fugar bounty, and removed from the statute books this odious class legislation. You have seen In the papers In the past few days an account of a convention of sugMr planters in Louisiana, in which thy resolved to abandon their former political associates, and henceforth to fupport th1? republican party. Why? Simply for the reason that the republican lawmakers favored the sugar bounty which the democratic congress h-8 swept from the statute book. If the new tariff law had no other merit. this provision alone would entitle it to your warmest commendation." ,

Vi'ith every week that goes by the situation continues to look brighter for the democrats, and there are few who have reason to doubt, the claim that the republicans will not control the next hmse. The b. st they can hope for is the hoisting of the populists into the balance of i m wer. Thi is evidenced peculiarly by Up- feeling around the congressional o .mmittee li-td-;uariers. A short time .g . I.-fi.ro the business revival had set i:i and the effects of the strong democratic cwnptii;:i were being realized, the democratic committee had a great deal of hop?, and tint was about all. The republicans, on the other hand, were making the in ost of what they choose to b-. l'eve were la.-iit.g diesen tior.s i'luuig tht-ir opponents and wore cialmirg t vcrj tiling- In i-ight. In fact, they hoi no h Si.aacvi in giving out an estinnte tli it wo'jni yive th.in control of the boas..- by a clear majority of fifty. Mow tiic b oi is o:i the other foot. All ar- und th? republican headquarters the employes are as gium as oysters over the situation. This is the result of an order that has been promulgated 'by the heads of the commit tec, who refuse personally to say anything about the situation in ind.xidual states or to hazard an opiaion as to what will be the outcome. All that can he irawn from them by the in s: enterpriviig correspondent is the adiii!su-i on that tlu-y still have hopes and still beii-ve that their nefarious doctrines will be brought uppermost by the election. At the democratic headquarters there Is a vaitly different air. All there is wearing a business aspect and every tmpljye is willing to give information for the very simple reas n that nearly all the Information that is coming from the outFide states is very encouraging. All during the past week reports have been received from the different states which bring encouragement. New York, of course, is the commonwealth that is looked toward with the greatest Interest on the part uf the poli-tii-ians. It is ff-lt that the result there will have a far-reichlng effect as determining the political complexion of the Kmpire state for many years to. come, r.nd therefore settling or unsettling political conditions of the present. Advices at the headquarters are that the entire demn raty of th Ftale is preparing for a battle royal to defeat the partisan legislative and congressional appjrlicr.ment adopted by the constitutional convention. That and the V. I. A issue, which the democrats mad? a 'bold stand upon and the republicans neatly dodged, are to be the principal topics of spe.-chpi daring the campiign. Of course, the national issues will ai?) enter in, but they will be thrown somewhat in the .background by the threat contained in the new apportionment. AfL?r Xew York, th? states that are pi-jbibly attracting the most attention are Indiani and Illinois. Their political complexion this year, it is felt, will have a ft eat deal to d3 with the selection of th? cand.dites of the two national parlies in lStod. Should thiy bje carried by the democrats, the nomination of a western min by the party fr the next presidential ric? bee-nues much more probable. Reports from theni are coming in all the time and they agree, without a dissenting opinion, that, with every day thit passes, the situation in the two sister states grows more reassuring to the dem ocrats, who are aggressive and determined to win. Harris. n's swing around the c'.rcl-' Is regirded as one of th? evidences that th? republicans are badly in need of something to stir their voters up to the proper state of enthusi tsai required to make them bolt MoKinleyism and the trust concessions. Th? free silver tight In Ohio is attracting Interest of a marked variety. The cause of the white metal is becoming ene of the absorbing topics cf th? cimpiign all over the riouth and West, and right up to the borders of Xew York. What Ohio does with the question will have a bearing on the n?xt pivsldenthl race al3o. Of eours? the democrats hardly hop? to carry th? state. That hop? would be chimerical. Nevertheless, they do not regard the victory of last year for the republicans as an indication of the real political fueling in the state, and wi3h to see whit can be relied upon to give them strength. The South can be relied upon to go almost as solidly democratic as before. The Louisiana uprising has com? to be regarded as almost a hippodrome, although the conservative politicians still profess pom? cause for fear. Rut the people of Louisiana, have not yet forgotten the evils of carpet-bag rule and th? domination of the negroes who succeeded In being placeel in power. The armed and forcible effort to rcgiln the control of the stats left the white people with such a feeling that it is hardly probabla a. hange can come in the next decade. Even the republican campaign commdt?? realize that th?y have littl to hope for, and are now making the claim that they do not considrr the schism of the gr??dy sugar planters In th? light of a republican movement, but only as an uprising against th? sugar tariff. Their advices from this Eectlon make them belidve nearly all Is lost. As tj the other southern state?, there 1 very little ciuse to fear. In Alabama. tha politicians acquainted with the situation say that there was never a fear for more than three districts, and the opposition there has been practically overcome. The result In Georgia, while taken by the populists to be a victory that should give them much hope, doe3 not mike any more probable the return of the odorous and odious Tom Watson in place of Gen. Black; and this was ths only district that was elaim?d with any strenuousnes.3. The situation in the West 13 almost an unknown quantity. Bryan is making an excellent fight for the Nebraska senatorship and tt is feared by his opponents that he will succeed in his race, as he 13 a catching speaker and has views calculated to suit the farming population of hia state.

Wyoming and Utah, and porhips California, are expected to send democratic congressmen and senators,, while Idaho also tt regarded as being very much of a pos

sibility on account of the past extra va- J gance of the republican government and the need of a great many reforms. In tha northwest th3 republicans hardly know what to expect. Minnesota Is showing remarkable signs of a disposition to teach the party a le-.son th it they will not forget in a long time. Knute Nelson, the nominee for re-election to be governor, which would mean his election for senator, has managed to have the Swedes turn against him on account of the apparently well-founded charges that he is too much mixed up with thi railroads. Wisconsin also gives signs of repeating th? majorities it lia.s given for the democrats in late years, and the democratic machine feels elated in consequence. Chairman Taubeneck of the populists believes that hiJ party will have tho balance of power anl in support of his statement makes the remarkaol calculation that in many of th? western states the two great parties are the' republican and pcpulist, and th democratic party has assumed the title ro of th-j third party farce-comedy. He even think.s that Texas is likely to desert the democrats and go over bodily to his shrt-horn alliance. The distribution of the campaign literature for this campaign will Fon be at an end. The republican committee lias cut its force down so that there is only a few left to fill immediate order and get out any new canirds the managers may choose to circulate before election day. The announcement is made that about four million pieces of different natures have been mailed sinca thj campaign opened. Tiie democratic: ccmrr.iitee announces that the demand has been so great on them that they have sent out already about six million pieces and the orders are still coming in for a great deal more. A large force Is still at work and all orders ore being filled a.j promptly a3 possible. The signs are that there is a great democratic awakening all over the country, and the committee is taking tha fullest advantage of it. Under these circumstances th? republicans are attempting again to work their pension roorbacks for all they are worth. They have started the canard that th? office is holding back until after election before it will reject any applicants, but Commissioner Lochren denies that the pension bureau is in politics and offers to allow the inspecti a of the record .-1 of the department to prove tho truth of his statement, livery effort h still being made to give every gallant defender of the country his du?: but theia is to be no toleration now of the undeserving any mere than there ha.1? been since the new rule was established in the nfilce. Many In liana oflicehoidr-rs will return for the campaign and election day. Several of tha orators who have been transplanted in Washington will go back to their old stamping grounds for a few weeks and will make t-peechc-3. They have received no Intimation of the rumored or I er of President Cleveland that the crfi re-holders shall not engage in politics. They recgnlxe that it is the president's attention to all w no neglect of duty tor speechmaklrg, but none of the well-in-f armed believe for a moment that the chief executive will ir.terfero any further.

Y., Oct. 12.-Sen-ator Hill faced her? tonight, for his second attack up n the republican party, an audience equally as enthusiastic, even if not quite as lirge, a3 that at Syracuse last night. . In vldition to reiterating the sentiments expressed at Syracuse, be said; "I embrace this early opportunity to express my sincere appreciation of the loj"al and cordial support which is being given the state ticket 'by those who have heretofore differed with me in regard to inter-party affairs, especially ir the rural districts c( th? state. With entire unanimity those who have been generally regarded as the especial friends of the national administration have earnestly wheeled into line and are performing valiant service in -behalf of the cause, and I should b? unjust to them as well as unjust to myself if I did not take occasion to freely acknowledge their magnanimity and generous action. "They seem to realize more keenly than do seme of our pirty friends in Xew York and Brooklyn the absolute necessity Of party unity in the present emergency, involving as it does the very existence of the democratic party itself. They ar? democratic as well as reformers and believe in reformation within party lines. They realize that a republican victory in New York will strengthen the forces of protection everywhere and greatly imperil all that has been gained and accomplished during the past two years for the causi of tariff reform." The senator criticised severely the action of the republican majority in the constitutional convention in refusing to adopt a amendment authorizig the veterans of the soldiers' home to vote at general elections. GOV. PATTISOX'S Git K AT IXTEH12ST. He Hopes to See Senator Hill Elected Id Xtw York. IlARPvISBUUG, Pa.. Oct. 14. Governor I Pattison U not only taking great interest i:i the democratic campaign, in Pennsylvania, but in th? far-reaching political battle in Xew York. Although the governor's frlend3 in this state were strong adherents cf President Cleveland in the Chicago convention and contributed largely to his nomination he earnestly desires the successof Senator Hill in Xew York and hopes the president will soon make a public declaration In his favor. The governor continued: "Mr. Hill deserves the active siij pirt of the president in view of the saciilice h: has made in accepting ' the nomination fur governor and, th? political significance of the campaign in Xew York." Governor Pattison then said he had obtained information from a perfectly reliable source that Senator Hill had done all in his power to dL-uado Maynard from being a candidate and that he had told him defeat was inevitable if his name was placed on the ticket, but his colleagues on the bench thought otherwise. riGG shoots i.ockahd. Hall l'nsucü Direefly Through the Abdomen. SULLIVAN, Oct. 15. Special.-cSunday night, about S o'clock, Swazee Lockhard was shot and supposed to be fatally Injured by Nathan Pisrg. The two are partners In the saloon .business at Lyontown. a small town six miles east of this Dlaee. The wound is in a most dangerous place, 'being directly through the abdomen and from side to side. Pigg. after the shooting, came to Sullivan and gave himself up. There are two stori?3 to the affair. Pigg claims that he heard a nois? in the saloon, and, going to the door, made a noise and called, asking who was within. He did not get an answer, hut heard a man running to the door.

RICHMOND. Va-. Oct. 1:. The northbound passenger train on the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad, which left here at 7 o'clock last night, was held up near Quantico. The engineer and fireman were forced from their engine and the engine was cut loose and sent ahead. The express car was then entered, the messengers covered with pistols and the safe robbed The runaway locomotive was stopped at Quantico by obstructing the track. It is stated here tonight that there was an unusually larga amount of money on the train, probably $.".0,000. The robbers, seven in number, were masked and forced the mestser-gor to open the safe. The railroad company has offered $1.000 reward for the arrest of any of the robbers. The express messenger, B. E. Crutchfield and his helper, II. Murray, barred the doors of the express car, but these were blown open with dynamite. After the robbery the thieves made off with their booty in the direction of the Potomac river, where it is supposed they had a boat in waiting to take them to the Maryland side. None cf the robbers entered the passenger coaches. XEW YORK, Oet. 13. The train which was held up last night on the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad readied the Pennsylvania depot at Jersey City at 8:05 o'clock this morning, bringing with it a badly shattered express car. The Adams express company messengers left the train and proceeded at once to the headquarter? in New York city. They reported that all of the safes had been rifled by the robbers. It is supposed that the bandits obtained between $150,000 and J200.000. It was found lha1 the heavy oak doors had been splintered by the sticks of dynamite forced into the car by the robber.'. In addition to this the marks of revolver bullets ve:e plainly visible. Every pane of glass in tlie windows of the car had been shattered by the force of the explosion, and fra"ments of glass were still scattered over the floor of the car. Th? officials of the Adams express company, in charge of the car at the depot, said that only pouches and safes had been ransacked. The other packages In the car remiinej intact. Mr. Sliackeif rd of the Thnmasville (Ua.) Times-Knterprls? says: "There w?re at least six or seven r.ias-ked men. and I could plainly distinguish them all iu the clear moonlight of the early evening. In fact, so near did they corn? to m? that, in spite of their masks, I am almost sura that I couid recognize some of them if I could Ste them a.iin, from certain litila peculiarities of dress or speech. V-hcIl the alarmed passengers crowded out of the cars to see what was the matter the robbers fired a perfect fusillade of shots to intimidate them, as well as to frighten the railroad men. Th" robbt rs rifled tha express car without loss of time. They put their sticks of dynamite under th? door of the exprss car and blew it open. "Tne manner in which these men got on the train was a mystery at first, but we afterward discovered that they all probably boarded the car at White Brook station, a few miles th? other side of Quantico station They evidently climbed upon the platforms, and while tha train was In motion, worked their way along the top of the cars until they succeeded in boarding the tender and cab. Then, without any ceremony, they held up the engineer ard fireman. The engineer is named Frank Gallagher. He was an old employe on the road, and as brave as could be, the road men tell me. but two or three of the villains attended t o the engineer.while two or three more of them attended to the express messengers and another one or two kept guard on the passengers and trainmen. Some of the desperadoes even went so far as to converse in a clever, daring fashion with passengers and trainmen. "The most novel thing in tha entire proceeding was the way in which the robbers n.ad? their escape. They cut the engine loose, piled their plunder into the cab and then the whole crowd piled in upon the top of it. They turned on steam and started for Quantico as fast as the engine could carry them." President L. C. Weir of the Adams express company is of the opinion that the amount of money lost Will not exceed J30.000, but says it may reach $100.000. Th" destruction of th? way bills mad? it diflicult for him to ascertain the exact amount. He said that the robbers had taken all th? mony contained in the express car, but hid overlooked two packages of bonds worth $16,500 and also faik-d to secure a quantity of Jewelry. TIIH GREATEST OV RECORD. It I ThouRpt That I'rrhnpi $200,000 Wan Taken. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. Local representatives of the express company say that the amount of booty the robbers gained probably cannot be learned accurately until tomorrow, but they Incline to the belief that $150,000 is a large exaggeration of the loss. One theory here as to the Identity of the robbers to that they were formerly members of some one or other of the numerous bands of socalled "Industrials" who were attracted to the national capital by the Coxey movement. Th? local police believe that they were not professional thieves, but were men familiar with the train sei vice. The demand for the "manifest." they believe, indicates that at least one of them was a railroad man. Capt. Arthur Barnes of North Carolina, a iii-mber of the force of the sergeant-alarms of the senate, was a passenger on the held-up train. He says that the first Intimation the passengers had of any unusual occurrence was when the flrinff

began, which was almost simultaneous with the stoppage cf the train There were three shots tired by the robb rs. and the passengers immediately reached the conclusion that the firing was intended to caution them to remain on the Inside. They took the hint and kept their seats. Some of the mile passengers wanted to attack the robbers, but when the discovery was made that there was only one pistol in the entire party this idea was abandoned. There were a'.out seventyfive passengers aboard. Capt. name's says the express messenger, with whom he talked, told him that the safe had n : been 'blown open, as at the time the train was stopped th? messengers, of whom there were two, were engaged in assorting the moeny packages and arranging them according to the destination and had thorn out cf the safe fjr tins purpose. Th? messenger with whom Barnes talked told him that the greater pirt cf the money was from Jacksonville and Richmond and he estlmited that it amounted to between JIUO.OoO and J.'w.Ooo. The taking possession of th? engine was entrusted to one man, who held a revolver in eich hand and covered th? en gin. -er and ftreman. After they had completed their work the robbers commanded the engineer and fireman to detach th? eng"ne, fill the tank with water and coal up. The engirt? was then boarded by the robb-rs, wlu were near It. and after proceeding about two hundred yards stopped to take on others, who were on th? embankment above the train. The trainmen put th? number of robber? at frem six to eight. The place for the robbery was intelligently selected, being in a den cut, with no houses In sight and a field on one side of the road and a forest on the other. The moon was only partially obscured by eiouds. but the robbers wore masks ov-r the lower portion of their faces and their features could not be clearly distinguished. Tho-y told the engineer and fireman as well ms the messengers that they only wanted the express money. "We want no packages," said one of the robbers to the messenger, and th messenger took advantage of this to toss two packages of bonds, one containing $10.000 and the other Jil.O K), in'.o a idle, of Iackages. "We don't want any of yours," he also said when he learned that a watch nr'nging in the car belonged to the messenger. "Are you afraid of losing your job';" ha nsked, "well, iuit the business .nil get into ours, there is m re money in i:." The robber also cut the packages open like a me.n who understood the business. Ha handled every package as if h" were acquainted with the Imsine cf exprossBge. "No Jewelry, watches or packages ," he said, as the messenger wa-' gettli.g out the stuff in the safe. "We want nothing but the money of the express compa ay." It has ben impossible to ascertain how many robbers were engaged in the h 11up. Two stood guard over the engineer and fireman and one went Into the express car. There was mor or l'ss sho ting about th? train and the talk heard by the trainmen indicated tnt the robb-rs meant to keap the pass uigers in th? train. "Step aside. Jim. and see if I can hit the head of the fellow hanging out on thplatform." one was heud to say, and this was followed by a sh t. which hid a tendency to make pass-ngcrs keep their heads in and not undertake to pry into whit was going on forward. Among tiie passengers wis Senator Blanchard of Louisiana and ths p 7le of this little plac? assert that h? to k his fright with the balance of th passengers. A susp-ct was arrested here today by th" police. The man presses a high, shrill voice and those who wer? on the ex-pre-ss train recall 'the fact that a noticeable trait of one of the robbers was his penetrating falsetto voice.

SMOOTH WORK IX TIIK A1TST. A Southern Pnellle Train Held I'p by Two SI en. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-The tw.y bandits who held up a Southern Pceitle overland train a few miles west of Sacramento la to last night and looted the Wells-Fa rgo company's express car and secured over ?..o,000 seem to have eluded th? officers and escaped with their plunder, which was nearly all in gold coin and consequently a heavy burden. Beyond the mere supposition that the bandits are railway men who have been in the employ of the Southern Pacific and the supposition is based only on their apparent lamilcwlty with railway methods and their ab lity to successfully handle a locomotive, the pursuing olflcials have very little to work upon. The astounding success of the hrd-up was not known until this afternoon.
