We say, give to the masses of the peo- ‘ good clothing, cheap blan- tets, cheap tools and cheap lumber. The republicans, by the platform, and their leaders in the senate by their proposed bill, say increase taxes on clothing and blankets, and theieby increase their cost, maintain a high duty on the toois of the farmer and mechanic, and upon the lum¬ ber which they need for the construction of the modest dwellings, shops and barns, and thereby prevmt their obtaining all these necessaries at reasonable prices. Can any sensible man doubt as to where he should stand in this contro¬ versy! Can any well informed man be deceived by the false pretense that a sys¬ tem so unreasonable and unjust is for the benefit of the laboring competition men? Much is said about the of American laborers with the pauper labor of Europe: but does not every man who looks around him see and know that the immense majority of laborers in America are not engaged in what are called the protected industries? And as to those who are employed in such industries, is it not undeniable that the duties pro¬ posed bv the democratic measure called the Mills bill, far exceed the difference between American and European admitted wages, and that therefore, if it were that our working men can be protected labor, by tariffs against protected cheaper and they would be fully that bill? more Does than protected, well informed by know that not every man the increase in the price of home man¬ ufactures produced by the high the labor¬ tariff dot's not go into only the pockets tends of swell the ing men, but to profits of others ? It seems to me that plainly if the presented, policy of the all democratic party is must understand that we seek to make the cost of living less, and at the same time increase the share of the laboring man in the benefits of national prosperi¬ ty and growth.

New Haven, Conn., Oct. 15. —The young men’s republican club had a hot time to-day, and discussed various mat ters for about four hours. Many of them had decided to have a grand parade to¬ morrow night, and to that end had in¬ vited about twenty-five out of town clubs to join them. It was finally de¬ cided to reeind the order for the parade, and notify the ther guests not to come. Hence parade of 8.000 torches will not come off. The cause of the trouble is said to be that some wanted to parade with canes and others were in favor of torches. the Consequently, meeting broke as they with could the not agree up members in a disgruntled condition.

OCTOBER 1(5. i88«. AN IMMENSE l-'IASCO Blaine’s Tour of Indiana With¬ out Profit. REPUBLICANS DISGUSTED AT THE WHOLE BUSINESS Tin' Hupture Between Hovey and Blaine. Why tlie Plumed Knight'* l>ate« Were Cancelled- -Opposition of Organized Labor. Indianapolis, Ind.,Oct. 15.—The Boo¬ ster republican camp is shaken to its foundation by the strained relations be tween Mr. Blaine, Mr Harrison and Gen. Hovey. It is well known in Indiana, as it is in New York, that Mr. Blaine was not particularly, sincere in his efforts to aid Mr. Harrison's election. It is no¬ torious here that Mr. Blaine and Gen. Hovey, the republican candidate for gov¬ ernor of Indiana, do not speak as they pass by. The strained relations were emphasized yesterday by the singular appearance of Mr. Blaine speaking from the rear of Gen. Alger's private car and Gen. Hovey speaking at the same stations from the rear of an ordinary coach. Republicans are disgusted at this out¬ come of a personal and spite Mr. which Blaine's cannot lie buried now, at re¬ fusal mented to meet Gen. extraordinary Hovey. It that was while com¬ Blaine upon as speaking Tomlinson Mr. was at hall Gen. Hovey remained at his room at the New Dennison, scarcely a block away. The conclusion that Indiana democrats reach is that Mr. Blaine is de¬ termined to knife the republican ticket. He stabbed it in New He York by Indiana liis in¬ dorsement of trusts. came to against the express wishes of Mr. Harri¬ son. He did not dare stab Mr. Harrison in the latter's own state, but by snubbing Gen. Hovey and aiding in his defeat lie might indirectly assist in defeating the national ticket. In connection with Mr. Blaine's com¬ ing there was one very curious feature, and it has leaked out that it was, in fact, an ingenious central political play. cancelled Last week all the state committee of his Indiana dates but two. On the same afternoon the republican made paper an¬ nounced tliis fact and demonstra¬ tions of great joy thereat. As soon as the paper was out the state central com¬ mittee telegraphed orders to the various points for which he had been hilled, di¬ recting that protests against the cancel¬ lation should be sent in. On the following announced day the this republican fact. It evening paper the that was Harrison's thought strange should at time thus publish one of organs a matter that would naturally be very offensive to Mr. Blaine, hut it now ap¬ pears that the whole affair was tlie re¬ sult of Mr. Blaine’s directions, and was for the purpose of affecting the election in New York. The old Conkling follow¬ ing there generally are reported against to be Harrison, standing and out very the most certain way to reach them was by an opponent breach between the can¬ didate and Blaine. The move was there¬ fore made, but is a surface manifesta¬ tion. In reality, Harrison and Blaine are on the best of terms, and, next to John C. New, there is no one who will have more influence with the candidate than the statesman from Maine. The statement that Mr. Blaine would he sec- retary of state if Mr. Harrison were elected, which has been circulated so widely, has never met with a shadow of denial from any one who could lie con¬ sidered authorized to speak for Mr. Har¬ rison. The fight here seems to lie drifting more and more toward Harrison’s atti¬ tude on the labor question. There is no doubt that the fight of organized labor against him the republican candidate, is other hurt¬ ing more at this lime than all attacks. The labor leaders are in dead earnest, and the literature which they are circulating, especially the fac similes of his signature to the muster-roll of the militia company which ho joined during the great railroad strike of 1877, the title of the case against the strikers (showing I his appearance for the prosecution), and I his celebrated oath that his services for “nearly “reasonably one whole worth week of thousand time,” were dol¬ | one lars,” weight will between unquestionably and the have election. much now The republicans the workingmen have tried to meet these denouncing charges of by sim¬ ply them as lies; but the records of the United States court are not easily blown out of a controversy hv mere assertion. By the way, there is one very interesting fact in these records which lias not been circulated with the fac similes. When Harrison made his $1,000 affidavit. Judge Gresham was on the bench, and he refused, with no little warmth, to allow this charge against the road, which was in the hands of a re¬ ceiver in his court. special He finally referred the question take to evidence a and master in chan¬ The cery to considering Harrison’s report. master, after affi¬ davit. reported that the services were worth $ 1 , 000 , and returned the affidavit with his report. affidavit Gresham still objected, and over both and report cut the allowance down to $750. This cut is a matter of considerable significance, for Gresham is noted as a man of stern in j tegritv, and his action cannot he ques- I tioned as being the result of a strong I esnse of duty in the premises. The opposition of organized labor is 1 felt so keenly by the republican man¬ agers that they are foe now' devoting more attention to this than any other There are more lal>or speakers and labor organizers from other states now work¬ ing in Indiana than were ever known before in any campaign, and all sorts of wires are liemg republican pulled to stop this defec¬ the tion from the ranks. At same time the fight of against the Labor is Signal, the organ organized labor, being pushed vigorously. of After which the have nu¬ merous mentioned changes heretofore, venue, the parties lieen finally succeeded in finding a judge to whom they were well willing know-n to prohibitionist. submit the case in the Captain Eli Ritter. There seems to be no certainty at the present time as to what the outcome of the suit will be. Gen. Hovey deal' is succeeding in attracting a good of attention to himself in the midst of the demonstrations in honoi of the greater lights of his party. He is a regular old crank, and and absurd is possessed ideas tlian of more superstitions of standing in the State. any man impressed any though, He became with the that the state committee was campaign paying more attention to the national than to the state campaign, ana this must have struck him in a lucid inter¬ val. for *t is well fouuded. It was mads the more important by the whispered ru¬ mor that the state managers were pre¬ paring to sacrifice anything and every¬ thing to pull Harrison through. Mr. liovey proceeded to the central commit¬ tee rooms, and, after a stormy interview with Chairman Huston, rushed out and opened campaign headquarters of his own. The been principal sending work out documents of his assistants under has his frank, and a large portion of these have been seized by the postoffice inspect¬ or for violation of the postal laws.

Among the contraband goods brought to light were a number of the “ling cards" bearing the forged quo¬ tations from British newspapers, which have bet'ii used so extensively in the campaign. The general denies that he has been doing anything out of the way, but the proof is conclusive, and is in the hands of the United States officers. EDITOR SULLIVAN. Tlie Convalescent Champion to Kilter Jour* nail-tie Bank* Shortly. Boston, Mass., Oct. 15. —[Special.]— It is too true that John L. Sullivan lias decided to leave the prize ring and enter th(> more refined precincts of journalism. The local sports and friends of tho doughty champion were slow to credit the rumor when having it first this appeared, morning but Mr. Sullivan au¬ thenticated it himself, there was nothing left them. They have heaped upon his head taunts, remonstrances, and even threats, in order to induce him to recon¬ sider, hut in vain. In an interview, Pete McCoy said: “I feel very much shocked at John's action. I don't think it fair in him to leave the boys, after they have stuck to him like pals through thick and thin. Now I ain’t saying that you news¬ paper but fellows aint all right, in your way; and of don’t course stand you much aint show of the ‘perfesh,’ tlie in ring now, do you?” “What kind of an editor will John make?” "Well, I shouldn’t like to refuse the big fellow and an interview if he wanted it real had, I think he could do up a sparring match in pretty good shape, hut its the inside work that’s going to lay him out. You’ll see that heavy edi¬ torials won’t agree with John; he’ll be bold in a month, and then his hands are too clumsy to hold dictate a pen right. But 1 suppose he can 'em, just as well as not.” Councilman Billy Mahoney, who is an ex-prize fighter, was next approached. “Yes, yer kin bet yer life I heard dat our John wuz goin’ to go into der news¬ paper profesh, 1 an’ it? I tink What! Bully’s a d—d fool. Do mean yer ain’t about to print dis, gaff be yer? If dais der case, just tone my up a bit, won’t yer?” The assured Mr. further reporter remarks he Mahoney might that any make would be submitted to his ocular ap¬ proval. At the end of ten minutes the following was shown him as the sub¬ stance of the interview with him: “Speaking from a professional stand¬ prehension point 1 can of scarcely John’s, bring about a com¬ or rather Mr. Sul¬ livan’s, latest move. He told the boys last slimmer that he would let the Illus¬ trated News go to—er—bankruptcy be¬ fore he would edit the sheet for them. I think he would make a very indifferent editor, but 1 understand some of his friends think otherwise. Personally, all ties in common with Mr. John Sullivan and mysellf are severed. He has shown a disposition above of late to esteem himself the profession, but I firmly believe he has made a grave error.” “It reads O.

The butt of an odorous cigar was between his bearded lips, in spite of the instructions of the doctor that he must positively abstain from the use of tobacco in any form at present. Sullivan is hardly recogniza¬ ble because of his two months' growth of beard, which he says he will continue to wear. “I ain't goin’ to say nothin’ at all.” Why? “Because you news¬ paper men have been makin' fun of me because 1 said my liver had dropped down three inches.
