In accord ance with his wishes there was no formal demonstration. He left his hotel at a little before 10 and went at once to the Pennsyl vania railroad station. A little crowd of men was gathered there to see him off and applauded him cordially as he passed through the gate. The train left as soon as he and his party were seated. The gen tlemen who accompanied him were Gen eral Beaver, candidate for governor, and two of the latter’s associates on the ticket, Messrs. Davies aid Norris; Senator Cooper, chairman of the republican state committee; President Stuart, of the Young Republican club, Charles Emory Smith, City Solicitor Warwick, Major W. P. Bow man, Col. A. Loudon Snowden, Dr. Donne, of Williamsport; Marriott Brosius, Col. Wm. B. Mann and Isaiah Y. Mears, the colored orator. The trip from the station to Downington, the first stop, was unevent ful. At Downington, hardly more than a village, Mr. Blaine was enthusiastically received, the meeting there numbering over two thousand, many having driven in from several miles round about. Gen. Beaver, who was also cordially greeted, Bpoke and ended his brief speech by intro ducing the Maine statesman. At Lancas ter, the next stop, Mr. Blaine addressed a crowd numbering between five and six thousand in McGrau’s park. He met with another enthusiastic reception there. While others of the party were speaking he took a drive round the town, and vis ited the graves of Thaddeus Stevens, Presi dent Buchanan anrl General Reynolds. On the grave of Stevens, whom he regarded as one of the greatest men this country ever produced, he placed a rod rose. A halt was made at Mount Joy, a few programme at the fair ground. Richmond, October 20.—Governor Lee to-night received the following telegram from Washington: “Gov, Fitz Hugh Lee, Richmond, Va.: Mrs. Cleveland and ladies will not ac company me to Richmond, and my en gagements are made to return to Washing ton at an early hour. I regret that I am obliged to forego attending the reception at your house on this occasion. [Signed] “Grover Cleveland.” This action of the president created sur prise in view of the fact that only this morn ing it was announced that Mrs. Cleveland and other ladies would certainly be in tlie presidential party. Gen. Lee had arranged for the reception at his house, and had is sued invitations to prominent citizens to greet them. THE OUTLOOK IN PENNSYLVANIA. Iiiilicutioiis Hull the Labor Vote Will Bo Gist for tlir llciitocrutic Ticket. HARRISBVRa, October 20.-While there is no sign that the labor element of this state will have tickets in the field, or that distinctively labor candidates will be named for any of tiie offices to lie filled, it is clear that the workingmen will exercise a potent influence in the coming election. There are in the state fully 200,000 men connected with the labor organizations. These include Knights of Labor,the miners’ organizations of various kinds and railroad men connected with protective associations, the irou workers, and others properly belonging to the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, the miles -west oi Lancaster, where tho orphan ■ textile workers, and mixed trades, mainly soldier boys and girls Hocked around t.ie organized as Knights of Labor.

At Steelton, a few miles outside of Harrisburg, Messrs. Blaine and Beaver. Smith and Snowden left the train and drove to the country home of General Cameron for supper. Pittsburg, October 20.—Mr. James G. Blaine addressed a crowd of 10,000 per sons here to-day on the subject of the “bloody shirt.” He said “colored men are now, and have been for ten years, enter ing into many of the mechanical indus tries. In Birmingham, Ala., in Chatta nooga, Tenn., and in various parts of Vir- g inia they are making pig iron at wages of •om 60 to 70 cents per day. The product of their labor has thus far been so small that the Important fact that I am now stating has attracted com paratively no attention, but if the number 15,000, the iron workers 15,000, the textile work ers 30,000, and tiie mixed trades 50,000. Ii goes without saying that so strong a bodv of men, acting in unison, can exer cise an important influence on elections. Politically, these men are divided about equally, but this year they will vote almost as a unit. The influencing cause of their action will be the store order business. On that question the workingmen have a deep feeling. General Master Workman Pow- deriy has declared his reprehension of tiie system in tho most emphatic terms. The recent declaration of the su preme court, pronouncing the law Forbidding the issue of store orders constitutional, hns excited the greatest interest, in the subject on the part of the workingmen throughout the state. Those likely to he effected by a return of the per- quantity which they manufacture attains j nicious system naturally desire new iegis- large proportions, it will necessarily com- j lation on the subject, and they begin to pete in the markets of this couutry with realize that with Gen. Beaver in the execu tive office there would be no possible pete in the markets of this couutry pig iron made in Pennsylvania and Ohio and they themselves will compete with men here who are paid $1.50 per day. What response is to be made to that by our workingmen now who receive the bet ter wages? The answer will bo just this : That either the great body of workmen in the south must have justice chance of securing such legislation. Beaver has, through a corporation of which ho is president, constantly evaded the law by issuing what are callled trade cou pons, while Chauncey F. Black, the democratic candidate for governor, has always beeu out done them and be fairly compensated for j spoken in opposition to any method of na labc what they earn ill the sweat ofthoir faces or else the wages of every northern laboriug man must be injuriously affected. This statement when first made by me was rnet with ridicule and derision but when that great organization of Knights of I was directed toward tho formation of a Labor met in a national convention in j strictly labor ticket, but the convention Richmond, Va., the other day under their wa,s captured by the emissaries of the re- Chief Powderly, whom I take to be a man publican ring, and a greenback instead of of extraordinary ability and perception.

When the greenback labor party held its state convention in this city there was a strong labor influence in the body, which [Prolonged cheers.] Tne first thing they i men wanted to endorse part of the derao- ran against was the absolute unwillingness j cratic ticket, but that was also prevented, on the. part of the dominant white race of However, the textile workers of Phila- the south to allow tiie colored laborers of delphia, in an organization known as the that region to have any benefits from the Labor League, have endorsed the noniina- Knights of Labor organizations or from {tion_of Maxwell Stevenson,the democratic itididate for congress at large, and he bituminous miners have endorsed the candidacy of W.

With the feeling favorable to the election of Mr. Black pervading all the labor associations, and these separate movements for Steven son and Brennen, it seems as though the labor votes would he thrown generally for the democrats. t rliv ON ’CHANG!; •jHiot I»ti> , any other organizations that could protect them in their right to be paid wages which they earned. By a strange coincidence I received this very morning a letter from the south on that subject. The correspondent gives me an appalling picture of the south, and in one portion of his letter says: “ But after all we are ahead of you in the north in respect to labor, for in a great many parts oi the south we have established the eight hour law for the colored man—eight hours in the forenoon and eight hours in the afternoon.” [Universal and long continued merriment ] Now, gentlemen, I do not hold out to you the slightest be lief on my part that the republicans have any prospect of carrying a southern state. The white men have the political power of that country in their grip. At first they said they would not let the negro come to congress as soon as they got : power to stop him. Well, the ! negroes stepped aside. Then they [ said they * would not let the carpet-bagger come to congress. Well | the carpet-bagger eloped. ^ [Laughter.J J Now they say that they will not let a native wnite man come to the front if col- j ored men vote for him.

Assertions were made this morning tiiat iu all probability they would not offer the assessment on Jersey Central or at most not over 10 per cent. This held stock firm with the remainder of the list and prices slowly advanced until the mid dle of the afternoon when everything vielded and Jersey Central was particularly prominent.

New York World. Mr. Hewitt has not opened any head quarters, but his campaign may be said to have begun. Tammany Hall and county democracy are both busy preparing for grand ratification meetings. The Tammany Hull committee of arrangements will prob ably report in favor of a mass meeting in and outside of the wigwam tor some even ing next week. The county democracy mass meeting takes place at Cooper Insti tute next Friday evening. Mayor Grace will be asked to preside. Mr. Hewitt is in daily receipt of hundreds of letters from republicans promising him their earnest and active support. It is believed thus early in the campaign Mr. Hewitt will receive fully 10,000 votes from republicans. The nomination of Theodore Roosevelt does not appear to be well received by the old time republicans and tax-payers. They think that Mr. Hewitt has a riper experience in municipal affairs and that their interests and those of the city will be better protected by him. There is also a strong feeling among the business republicans that Mr. Roosevelt was merely nominated by the machine bosses to be defeated; The argument is made that if there was any chance of tiie republicans electing the mayor Mr. Roose velt would not be the nominee. The belief is general that, the republican district bosses will do everything in their power to elect members of the assembly in the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, thirteenth and twenty-first as sembly districts who will vote for Levi I’. Morton for United States senator. In or der to elect several pledged Morton legis lators from this city, Mr. Roosevelt will he sold out and traded oft for George or any other candidate. Mr. Roosevelt already mistrusts John J. O’Brien, Bernard Biglin, Mike Cregan, John Collins, John Siuipson & Co., and has determined to watch all their movements. The district bosses ilo I not enthuse over Roosevelt, and arc allow* ' ing him to carry on his own cam- ’ paign from the Giisoy House. It is ! understood that he will pot baud the boys I any boodle directly, hut will pay a round i assessment to a finance committee of his ; oWn selection, who will parcel it out very I carefully. Thousands of republicans who think that Mr. Hewitt will he elected by a I handsome plurality are determined to vote for him iu order to swell his vote. Mr. ! Roosevelt evidently knows of this, and is [ making an effort to stop such a stampede. | He is telling his friends that he has every hope of being elected and that the contest j is between himself and Mr. George. Mr. Roosevelt has hired a literary bureau, and i its business will he to scatter broadcast i Mr. Roosevelt’s legislative record, speeches j and special committee work. Among the | congratulatory dispatches received by Mr. ! Roosevelt is one l’rornW. F.Cody, ‘ Buffalo ; Bin.” ! The betting last was $1000 to *300 that ! Mr. Hewitt would be elected, and $1000 to ; 8600 that he would have 20,000 plurality, j j Bets are even that Mr. Hewitt will have j 35,000 more votes than the second man in J i the race. ! The union of tho democracy on con- I j gressional, assembly and aldermanie noin- ! illations will have a beneficial result as far I as Mr. Hewitt’s vote is concerned. It will ■ prevent bargains and trades and keep the j Tammany Hall and County Democracy i lines straight on election day. The two ! organizations will work faith I Lilly together | ana will present a solid front from the ! Battery to the Bronx. The union on congressional nominations j will probably be decided to-day.

The I Tammany hall delegates from the eleventh district voted for Jefferson M. Levy. The ! sixteenth district delegate presented Gen. j Spinola and the county democracy dele- ; gates named James M. Fitzsimmons. Gen. ; Spinola was afterwards unanimously agreed i upon. Mr. Levy’s friends were Uisappoint- j eu at the result, and said they might ask j him to run as an independent candidate I with the republican and labor indorse- j incuts. The conference committee of the j eleventh district agreed upon the uomina- | tion of Col. T. A. Merriman, county demo- I crat. There is no change in the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, twelfth and thii- ! teenth congressional districts. Tho lirst | three will probably nominate county demo- j cracy candidates and Tammany hall can- j didates will be selected In the ninth, I twelfth and thirteenth districts.
