HILL’S WAR ON M’KINLEY
THE GOVERNOR MAKES A TELL
ING SPE-CH AT CANTON.
T&e Major Declared All Right as a Pri
vate Citizen but His Political Beoord
Beyond the Pale of Democratic In
dorsement-A Severe Arraignment
of the Republican Party.
Canton, 0., Oct 21. David B. Hill ar
rived here at 5:30 o’clock this afternoon.
He was met at the depot a few miles below
the city by a reception committee A large
throug greet his appearance as he alighted
from the train. He went immediately to
District Attorney Weltry’s house, whose
guest he will be until to-morrow,
when he leaves to speak at
Wooster, in this congressional district. A
torchlight parade of democratic clubs took
place to-night, about 1,500 men being in
line. An old skating rink, accommodating
2 000 people, in which a mass meeting
was held to-night, which the
governor addressed, was filled to
overflowing when the governor was intro
duced by C hairman Weltry. Gov. Hill was
vigorously applauded as he stepped to the
front of the stage. He snoke as follows:
An important political campaign is that upon
vhieb our country has entered. None more
important has been held within a gene rati n.
The contest is not merely between men or par
ties and not only between governmental poli
tics The question presented to our votes is
not whether the next House of Representatives
will be republican or democratic, but whether
ihe nature of our federal government is to be
udically modified, and the Integrity of our
institutions successfully threatened. A great
feme is the record of the Republican party In
fc brief control of congress. No party has
more recklessly defied precedents, more fla
pantly disregarded principles, more boastfully
overturned traditions, more seriously invaded
private rights, more arbitrarily encroached
np< the prerogatives of the states, or more
tyi annically used the power of a partisan
majority.
ITS ONLY AIM.
The animating motive of its acts seems to
have been only perpetuation of its own power.
It has cared ‘otniug for the constitution, noth
ing for the treasury, nothing for the people.
Its chief desire has been to get such a firm grip
onthe control of the government that for gen
erations to come its p jllticlins may eed upon
the spoils of power. To accomplish this
the party has increased its majority
in the House of Representatives
bv arbitrarily ejecting democrats from
their seats; has stolen the le.iresentation of
one state in the Senate; has admitted to the
union states whose only claim to admission is
that they will swell the republican majorities;
has denied representation to democratic terri
tories much better qualified for statehood iu
point of population and resources; has ignored
the rights of a majority by the tyrannical
methods and ruling ot the speaker of toe House;
has sauandered the treasury surplus by ex
travagant appropriations to conciliate particu
lar interests: has enacted a tariff bill which
will supply corruption funds for the election;
has conducted a census, denounced everywhere
as worthless and manipulated for counting re
publican populations up and demo
cratic populations down; and has
threatened the enactment of
the force hill which will put an end to state
authority in the certiltcation off deral elec
tions aud make congress not representative o’
the people, but a creat re of whatever men fed
eral officials may choose to count in. This is
the record for an indorsement of which the
leaders of the Republican party are now stump
ing the country. If our institutions are to be
preserved pure and intact, every patriotic citi
aeii must do his duty in rebuking this grasping
and tyrannical political oligarchy.
OUSTING OF DEMOCRATS.
When the present congress convened In De
cember last, the republicans had a majority of
three in the House of Representatives. Which
was soon increased to eight by the admission
of representatives of new states. Eighteen
contested election cases were submitted to the
committee on elections, all but one brought by
republicans and that one by a man who after
wards a ted with the republicans as a condi
tion of nis being seated In order to faciliate
tlie process of counting democrats out and
republicans in, no rules were adopted for
a space of three months and
then only when tbe loud protest
ot the country made it impolitic to outrage
’uolic sentiment longer. The House proceed
ings were conducted ■ n what tbe speaker called
' general parliamentary law,” but what iu fret,
was Ids own arbitrary will. The most sacred
parliamentary rithts guaranteed to the mi
nority during a century of the government were
ignored. With the brute force of the majority
in i without any show of reason nine democrat.c
congre6srm n bearing official credentials from
;h* ir states that they were legally and properly
Elected, were turned out to make room for re

the tariff bill.
After discussing the tariff go far as it re
lies to the interests of the farmers, the
ovornor continued as follows:

A PLEA FOR WARWICK.
Then in conclusion, referring to the con
test in this (the Sixteenth) district, urging
every democrat to vote for John G. War
wick, the democratic candidate, he said:
For Mr. McKinley personally I have the
highest regpeot. He is a gentleman of integrity
capacity, and many other excellent qualities. *
Asa citizen and neighbor, I have no doubt
you all think well of him. He will
not deny that he Is a most
bitter partisan, and was never known
to support a democrat for a public position. His
friends are now asking complimentary votes ln
his behalf. I want you to refuse him, because
he represents principles in which you don’t be
lieve. He has no just claims upon
your suffrages as democrats. There has
never been a partisan outrage at
tempted against your party which
Mr. McKinley has not supported. He voted to
deprive nine honestly elected democratic repre
sentatives of their seats in congress. He sus
tained every arbitrary ruling of the despotio
speaker. He voted for the infamous force bill
by which he seeks to deprive your party of
every fair opportunity to regain control of this
f;overnraent. He has been instrumental
u foisting upon the couni ry the
unjust tariff measure which can be
properly designated as “the sum of villainies."
He gives you no assurance that he will pursue
any different course from that which he has
pursued in the past. He is not entitled to the
vo:e of a single true and upright democrat who
resides in this district. His friends com
plain that his district has been gerrymandered,
out Mr. McKinley * voice was silent when his
party friends in other states have gerryman
dered other districts against the Democratic
party. Fellow democrats, the eyes of the
whole country are upon this district, watching
the great ooutest in which you are engaged
with breathless interest.
A CORRUPTION FUND.
Republican corruption, the money obtained
from those who have received government
favers will be poured into this district to de
bauch its elec’ore. The integrity of the citizens
of the district Is at stake. Mr. Me Kin ey cannot
shut his eyes to the fact that funds for his
campaign are being raised in every locality
whose interests h s bill has favored at the ex
pense of the consumers of the country. I ask
you to measure out to him the
same consideration which he extended to
those democratic representives who were ousted
from their seats by his vote. No good reason
can be urged why this democratic district
should send Mr. McKinley to congress to rep
resent your interests. Let him get his votes
from lug party friends wnom he served and
not frmn those whose interests and rights he
has betrayed. Insulted and outraged l’ne
issue is iu your hands, and I have confldeuca
that it will be gravely and honestly met.
The applause during the governor’s re
marks was long and hearty.
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The National Convention In Session at
Des Moines.
Des Moines, Oct. 21.—The national
convention of the Christian church began
here to-day, over 600 delegates being
present. President Phiilipsof Pennsylvania
delivered the annual address to-night and
brief addresses were read by several other
deleg ates.
The report of the Home Mission
ary Sooiety showed the society
working i 1 twenty-five states. The
total number of missionaries was
sixty-two, and the amount of money
collected $51,181. Home work is being done
under the state boards, and brings this up
to a total of $184,784 a id 312 men with the
result for the year of more than 18,000 new
additions to the membership, aud the
organization of 187 new churches.
THE EXTENSION FUND.
The church extension fund was begun
two years ago and already has au invested
fund of $35,000. They have this year
aided thirty-four churches in building
houses of worship in fifteen
different states. Rev. G. W. Mickley of
Ci cinnati succeeds Rev. F. M. Raines as
secretary of this fund.
The delegates say tue growth of the or
ganization is phenomenal and that the
government census this year will show
them to number 800,000 communicants in
the United States. In 1880 thev ranked a3
the fourth largest body of Protestants in
the country.
NOT TO CONSOLIDATE.
The Adams and United States Express
Companies to Remain Separate.
New York, Oct 21.—Touching the dis
patch from Chicago received in this oity to
day to the effect that a consolidation of the
Adams and United States Express Com
panies bad beeu agreed upon, Supt. Hoey
of the Adams company said: “There is
positively not a word of truth in the report
iu question, nor is there the slightest prob
ability that said consolidation wifi ever be
effected. England an l this country are
quite as likely to unite their fortunes as
that the union wifi ever take place.” The
officials of the United States company
were equally emphatic in denying the
rumor.
CHICAGO’S REGISTRATION.
A Claim that 25,000 Names are
Fraudulently On the Lists.
Chicago, Oct. 21.— 0n the last day of
registration about 50,000 new names were
put upon tue lists. Since then both parties
have been earnestly at work, each trying
to show that the other had
caused many names to be fraudu
lently put upon the rolls. The
aggregate result, according to an independ
ent. morning paper, is that about 25,000
notices, or one-half the number of the new
registration, have been sent out calling on
persons suspected of being improperly reg
ls.e e 1 to come forward and estabiisa their
claims to a right to vote.
Chesapeake and Ohio.
Richmond, Va., Oct. 21.—The annual
meeting of the st.Mjkholders of the Chesa

ception of George Scott of New York, who
is succeeded by Decatur Axtell of Rich
mond.

SAVANNAH, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1890.
WORLD'S FAIRJAIARIES
SECRETARY windom approves
THE SCHEDULE RELUCTANTLY.
The Stipends Pixsd by the Commission
Greater Than Congress Contem
plated—Only $40,000 of the Amount
Available Before June 30, 1891, Still
Lert Unappropriated.
Chicago, Oct. 21.—An afternoon paper
publishes an abstract of a letter received by
President Palmer of the national world’s
Columbian commission from Secretary
Windom in regard to the expenses of the
commission. The secretary first states that
of the $1,500,000 appropriated $400,000 must
be used in the construction of a government
building, leaving $1,100,000 for other ex
penses. For the final year ending June
30, 1891, there is appropriated jointly $200,-
000 for tbe expenses of the commission and
the use of the government board of control.
The government board has estimated that
it will need $50,000. leaving $150,000 over
for the use of the commission.
MAKING THE MONEY FLY.
The secretary then shows that in salaries
for ufheers and other expenses, the com
mission has disposed of $90,000 of this
$150,000 and that the expenses of the meet
ings of the executive committee now in
session, and ofj: he meeting of the commis
sion to be held on Nov. 15, will bring the
total ud to SIIO,OOO, leaving only $40,000 to
run the commission on from that date till
June 30, 1891. Continuing the secretary
says:
In consideration of the foregoing showing of
expenses I have hesitated as to approval of the
resolutions of the commission fixing the salaries
of its officers, as described in articles 15 and 16
of your by-laws. The act of April 23, 1890, re
ferred to, makes the Secretary of the Treasury
and your commission jointly responsible for the
proper and reasonable expenditure of the sum
appropriated by congress for the furtherance of
the p rmissions of act.
A MATTER OF DISCRETION.
It does even more than that, for it Imposes
upon the secretary the necessity of exercising
proper discretion in approving th ■ compensa
tion fixed by your commission for its officers. It Is
fair to presume that congress intended by this
last inen'ioned provision of the law to prevent
the giving of what might be termed unreason
able compensation to aiiy of the officers
of the commission. But, in arriving
at this determination the Secretary of the
Treasury must take into consideration the op
erations of this representative body of mem It
appears from your records, as before stated,
that the commission has unanimously agreed
tnat the officers named shall be paid the com
pensation stated, the president $12,000, the sec
retary SIO,OOO, the director general $15,000, the
vice chairman of the executive committee
SB,OOO, employes In the offices of the secretary
and director general SIO,OOO.
HOSE THAN CONGRESS INTENDED.
If I were to give my Individual opinion on this
subject, uninfluence a by the acts of your com
mission, I would not hesitate to decide that the
amount named by your commission for salaries
for its prinoipal officers is greater than that
probably contemplated by congress in estimat
i g the amount necessary to carry out the
provisions of the act. Tbe amount of money
already expended and the expenditures
in contemplation by your commission
prior to Jan. I, next, contemplate so large an
amount that it presents an additional reason
why I should cot approve tne compensation
named w re I alone regp< nsible for the expen
ditures. You will observe that vour salary list
for the years ’9l, ’92 and ’93 wUI, without
further lncr ase of employes, amount to
$1n6,000 or about one-seventh of the entire sain
of money outside of the cost of government
buildings, which is fixed as the limit of expendi
tures growing out of the exposition.
THE SECRETARY IN DOUBT.
I have grave doubts in view of the facts as
herein stated, whether I ought not to return
the resolutions submitted by your commission
tor revision as to the amount of compensation
to be paid to your officers. On tho other hand
I dislike extremely to set up my own personal
views in opposition to those of the members of
the commission, who are more familiar with
the matter at issue than myself. I
therefore reluctantly approve articles 15 and 16
of your bill and heg leave to suggest in this
connection that great care be exercised in au
thorizing further expenditures to the end that
jour commission may not feel a deficiency for
the ensuing fiscal year. Respectfully yours,
Wm. Windom, Secretary.
Immediately after this communication
was read before the executive committee
Commis ioner Martindale offered a resolu
tion, which was adopted, declaring that all
the standing committees be instructed not
to meet before the next session of the com
mission, unless direc ed by the president.
Five standing had asked the
executive committee to meet, but none of
them will be authorized by the president.

TRIAL OF THE CONCORD,
The New Gunboat Required to De
velop 3,400 Horse Power.
Washington, Oct. 2L—The trial of the
new guuboat Concord will take placo early
next week. Tbe Secretary of the Navy to
day appointed tne following officers a board
to conduct the trial; Capt. Silas Casey,
Commander O. A Batcheller, Commander
L. B. Bradford, Chief Engineers A. J. Kier
sted, B. B. Wharton and Ralph Ashton
and Naval Constructor W. H. Varney.
The requirements in the case of the Con
cord are sovere. Sne is almost a duplicate
of the Yorktown, now in service. The
Yorktown was designed to develop 3.000
horse power, but by strenuous exertions tbe
builders managed to develop 3,499 horse
power on her irial trip. Tbi9 maximum
performance was ihen mado a positive re
quirement in the case of the Concord,
which must consequently develop 3,400
horse power on the iri-ji or lose to her
builders SIOO for every horse power lack
ing. On the other hand if the requirement
is exceeded the contractors will not make
SIOO for every horse power above 3,400
developed. If the now vessel does as well
as the Yorktown she should make a trifle
over 16% knots per hour over a measured
mile.
LIGHT HOUSES BY THE REA.
The Contracts for the New Ones on the
South Atlantic Coast.
Washington, Got. 21.—Under the ap
propriations made by congress at the last
session oontracts will be soon let for the
construction of light ships at Frying Pan
Bhoalsand Martin’s Industry, $70,000 bring
available for each. The contract for the
Cape Charles’ light house, for which $150,-
000 has been appropriated, will also be let.
The contract for the Cape Hatteras light
house has already been awarded for $485,-
000. Tnis is to be a wonderful piece of
work. Altogether, the improvements to be
made during the next year in the light
house service will be of great benefit to tne
shipping trade along the South Atlantic
coast. The board will try anew scheme
by placing revolving lights on the signal
towers. Thii will be an advantage in that
sailors will not confound these lights with
the lights of other vessels, and they can tell
just what light house or ship they sight by
the number that will be flasned out. The
number of lights on the interior rivers are
also to be largely increased.
STEEL FOR THE WAR BHIPS.
Some of the Heavy Castings Called
for Hard to Obtain.
Washington, Oct 31. The large
amount of naval construction now In the
hands of ship builders’ firms appears to be
somewhat embarrassing to the builders in
the matter of obtaining supplies of material,
which must be of domestic production. The
number of steel works that oan produce the
large steel castings required to carry out
certain designs is exceedingly limited and
they are pressed with standing orders,
so that Contractor Cramp has suggested to
tbe navy department that be be ailiowed to
modify the designs for the stem and stern
posts of arm red cruiser No. 2—two mam
moth steel castings—iu order to open up the
field to other met .odi of construction and
hasten the work upon tbe vessel.

Tbe Irish Question Must be Settled
Firat-The Trial at Tippet-ary Se
verely Denounced—Tbe RvUe of Ab
senteeism Painted ln Vivid Colors.
Brutality of the Police.
Loncon. Oot. 21.—Mr. Gladstone ad- |
dressed an audience of 5.000 persons in the
corn exchange at Edinburgh this evening.
Ireland, he said, oontinues to eclipse all
other subjeota. The country now fully re
cognized that the Irish question must be
settled before others. The opponents of
home rule had hoodwinked and deluded
their c instituencies by pledging
themselves rgainst ooeroion, promising
local government and expressing them
selves against granting large advances of
British money to buy*out landlords. Yet,
their favorite measure,after gaining power,
was coercion. Local government was van
ishing in the air, anil thore was a proposal
before parliament granting £40,000,MX) to
buy out the landlords. The
conservatives took credit for set
ting Ireland right by a firm
and resolute government. Their adminis
tration of tbe law was worse than the law
itself. Tbe state of things was such that
the Irish ought to hate the law, though he
would not say thoy ought to break it. The
government itself was a perfect pattern of
illegality. Its methods tended to provoke
the people.
THE TIPPERARY OUTRAGE.
Mr. Gladstone then referred to tho Tip
perary affair. It was grossly illegal, he
said, to close the doors of t o court houso
against the people. The appointment of
Mr. Shannon to try the case was a gross
scandal not merely because ho was an
executive offloer, but also because he had
been Involved in a serious personal alterca
tion with Mr. Dillon. If such tricks were
played in England by wantouness of powor,
a very short way would|be found to remedy
such abuse. After the examples of police
misconduct at Mitchellstown and Tipperary
it was impossible to respect the ponce or
the administration of tbe law by tbe po
ice. Their brutality and harshness con
stituted the crowning insult of absenteeism,
the grossest that could be intlictel on the
people at such a time. Secretary Balfour
appeared to feel that it was not part of tlie
business of the minister for Ireland to re
side there. Besides, how many
of those present know whether
there was a lord lieutenant of
Ireland or notf [Laughter.] Nobody hoard
of him. Absenteeism, which was among
the lowest signs of degradation in the last
century, seemed now a constant habit, the
Irish minister flaunting his absence in the
face of tho people.
ERIN’S ARMY OF POLICEMEN.
The government vaunted itsalf on peace
iu Ireland, vet kept six times more police
men there than in England and Scotland.
The Brittsh taxpayers paid £1,600,-
(>m yearly to tho Irish police
imp y to assist in collecting rents for lnnd
iw ~i. The English and Scotch landlords
mot their tenants fairlv and had not found
it necessary to appeal for the help of police
men to collect their rents. Yet British land
lords had lost more on rents than Irish land
lords, aud If the government would grant a
general election the state of public opinion
would prove that the country was won
over to home rule. On this
great question of Ireland, Mr. Gladstone
concluded, the last of the fortresses of
bigotry and oppression would go down be
fore the liberals’ attack. Justice to Ireland
wnuid rid them of an intolerable nuisance
and deep disgrace, and wonld gild with a
glow brighter than that of any former
period the closing years of a glorious reig.i.
The speech was reoeivod with enthusiastic
cheers.
Shortly after the conclusion of tbe speech
Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone attended a concert
at which Patti sang. De ee crowds were
assombled ontsido the concert hall as Mr.
Gladstone’s carriage drove up, and he was
heartily cheered. lie was cheered at tho
concert by the audience. After the concert
Mr. Gladstone had a long and pleasant
Interview with Patti.

To the General Amemhti/:
You were summoned here to perform a plairx
and iuqierattve duty. After n siioclal session of
several .lavs, having been unable to agree upon
a form of relief for Ihe city of ( inciuoaU, soma
further suggestions are in order.
It is reoom mended that, in lieu of the present!
iKiar.l of public Improvements, a non partisan
board be created, to be apjxdnted by the mayor,
who, as the executive head of the city govern
ment. ought to be responsible for its boards;
and having himxelf been elected by the iieoplat
of that city, such an appointment would b* Its
comformity to tlie doctrine of "home rule.w
Since you assemble t it has hi'en qlearly demons*

IsS'-u spared to send a loony here to mislead anil
intimidate you, nobody In tlie city of C'inaiu*
nati could be found fur t at purpose other thsik
those having a direct personal interest In sai j
board. This sufficiently pioves how low th
board Itself has fallen in the public estimation.
Let the haodful of schemers who are scoffing
in the dirt before you hoping for some petty
personal gala bo overlooked Remember thin
great body of tlie pooplo of Ohio who stand
amazed at the scenes enacted here last week;
who hove road with dls,-list t iat notorious!

directing the votes and speeches ot inembon*

obstruct honest government anil home rule.
The plain duty before yon h to permit no devi

amendments or changes ha permitted. Do no*
swerve a I.air's breadth from your purpose to
wipe out tlie board, and eventually submit the
whole question to the people. From this thus
on any anil alt propositions other than tills are
meant for partisan advantages onlv.
There Is no middle ground. To delay longer is a
confession of incapacity. To refuse tlie passage
of the bill is a coufessiin of infidelity.
