GOVERNOR HILL ON THE CON¬ NECTICUT HUSTINGS. Qenial Mr. Quay's Ancient Philadelphian Subterfuges Shown l T p—How the Democratic Paradera Scored a Triumph, Etc. New York, Oct. 23.—(Special.]—The democratic national and state commit¬ tees are to-day considering the reports of the extensive colonization by the repub¬ licans in the southern counties of this state. The information is said to be of such character as to warrant immediate action. New York, Oct. 23.—[Special.]—The news from Philadelphia received at the national democratic headquarters contin¬ ues to be full of warnings against the Quay schemes to increase the republican vote in this city by the help of visitors from Philadelphia. The newest feature of the onslaught on the democratic ma¬ jorities of this city in the reduction of which the republican managers see their only chance, is one of intimidation. Its development has not yet attracted atten¬ tion here, but the stir that its prelimina¬ ries caused in the sleepy old town on the Schuylkill has led to the sending of a tip on from there. The loss of 100 private detectives and 200 political strikers, two of the few active classes in the town, made such a difference down there as to excite comment. It was soon learned that York's Philadelphia’s loss scattered had been about New gain. The 300 are this state. The game is to make United States supervisors of John election L. of them by the good offices of Davenport, in order to be able to accomplish this purpose. election day approaches, and the As as days for concocting republican schemes become fewer and fewer, Boss Quay’s nervousness becomes more perceptible plans have to his friends.

He be suc¬ cessfully however, that in he several per¬ sists, has cards yet to play that will have a surprising effect, and as only Pennsylvanians know this trick they must be in the game. He accordingly summoned some of them to New Y’ork, and yesterday had a long talk with his whilom faithful henchman, Bill Leeds, who stood by him in the troublous times of his indictment and trial in Harrisburg for frauds in the elections of Leeds Pennsylvania. but was once a dangerous man, he methods, ‘is only acquainted he will with be obsolete closely and so watched that here he will be harmless.

A gentleman in the corridor of the Fifth avenue hotel, who was cot so tongue-tied as the boss, said he did not believe it, though he acknowl¬ edged that a much smaller contribution than that which was demanded came from the old Bay State. A gentleman not usually wrong, says the that Quay’s latest idea is to capture prohibition vote in New York, New Jer¬ sey, Connecticut and Indiana for Harri¬ son, and that how the thing was to be engineered made the subject of his long talk with Leeds. The official announcement that Presi¬ dent Cleveland would review the big business men’s parade in this city on Oc¬ tober 27th, was received with great sat¬ isfaction at the national headquarters. Governor Hill left here Monday to do the campaign work in Connecticut that is desired of him by the administration and the national committee Before his departure the governor talked with sev¬ eral of these gentlemen. He expressed condition perfect satisfaction with the of the democratic canvass in the state, and was particularly pleased with the outlook in Kings county, as shown by the big Brooklyn meeting of Friday night and the generally enthusiastic character of tho audience. The republican and democratic busi¬ ness mens associations have been having- a lively time trying to outwit each other. When the democratic business men ap- €fced to Superintendent Murray, permit to of the police department, for a par¬ ade on the day that suited them best, thev found that the republican business men had already obtained a permit for that day. Two Broadway- organizations the cannot well parade on at same time, so the democratic business men were left: but when the republican busi¬ ness men came to hire some bands, they found all the music in town had been engaged by the democrats to get even with the republicans for having republi¬ cut them out of their parade. The cans will either have to march without music, or import tueir music from such placa as Philadelphia, where their politi¬ cal managers and campaign clubs seem to be coming from. Political Spite Among tho Nagroe*. New Orleans, Oct. 22.—If Louisiana was a doubtful state, the republicans would be in a very bad fix, for they could by no possibility carry through one of their electors. The negroes have risen against State Senator R. F. Gui chard one of their own race and presi¬ dential elector, and declare they will not vote for him under any circumstances. Tbe republican second district congres¬ sional convention denounced him almost unanimously, and the negroes, general ly, him will bolt the nomination and leave 20,000 votes behind the rest of the ticket. It does not matter much, as the republicans Louisiana; have no chance of carrying but even if it were a close election, it would make no difference, as this astonishing mode of seeking revenge on an candidate unpopular man the by stabbing the party for presidency was followed even in the close and exciting election of 1876, when two of the Hayes electors ran 3,000 vote3 behind the rest of the ticket, and when the difference in the majorities of the electors was nearly 5,000. The indications are that it will be much larger this year, on account of these personal feuds among the negro leaders. A BOY BURNED TO A CRISP. His Intoxicated Mother Charged with Firing the House.

London, Oct. 23.—The decision of tha Spanish ministry to convoke the cortes within the next three weeks, for the pur¬ pose of placating the populace by pro¬ posing reforms in the army, is hailed with delight in Madrid and welcomed as a relief in the provinces. The Zorrilists have been specially active lately on the irontiers, and a large amount of money has been spent by them in propagating their belief in the restoration of the pseudo periods republic, which marked one of the of decline which Spain in modern years sustained. In evidence of the satisfaction felt by the populace of the the cabinet Spanish capital defer at the the demands decision of of to to the people, it may be cited that the dis¬ order which for several days has pre¬ vailed has almost entirely subsided, and the efforts of the gendarmes to preserve ordei are no longer necessary.

Kingsfield, Me., Oct. 23.—William Nickerson was hunting partridge about half a mile from his house, when hear¬ ing his dog bark and hastening in the direction of the sound, he found that the dog had encountered a large bear.

The bear then pulled off Nickerson's shoe, and at his next trip up the tree carried down one of Mr. Nickerson's stockings and one of his toes, badly lacerating two more. As the bear was climbing the tree again Nickerson gave him a charge of shot. A Squad of Republican Colonizers. Washington, D.
