New York, Nov. 3. —[Special.] — A
politician with a reddish moustache and
bald head has been haranguing a crowd
for two hours only a block distant as I
write this. The incident is trivial enough
at thiH time, but I shall use a few sen¬
tences from his frantic diatribe as an
illustration of certain methods in force
here, which may he interesting to south¬
ern readers.
“Who is behind the democratic party’*
managers in this campaign? Grover
Cleveland? Poor, old, decrepit Thur¬
man? Party millionaires? Men of brains
and patriotism?
“No, fellow-citizens, a thousand times
no. It is the rebel horde. It is the rank,
bull-dozing secessionist, who is only
waiting for an opportunity to overturn
the Arm pillar of a great and glorious
union, disenfranchise the colored vote,
and pile dishonor and knavery upon the
crest of the American people. [Loud
cheering.] Cleveland is only waiting
and waiting, and if he gets in four more
years, gentlemen, the dirty, foul-mouth¬
ed Johnnies will take possession of our
once fair capital in swarms.
“.Vote for Benjamin Harrison and help
prevent this frightful catastrophe 1” [Ap¬
plause. The individuals ] who
gave utterance to
the above remarkable paragraphs, it is
needless to say, professes to be of the re¬
publican fath. A call on elicited the republican the fact
canvassing committee
that he is paid $4.50 a day out of Mr.
Quay’s treasury. Yet no one finds fault
with him or his abuse. Look over the
New York Sunday papers and even
though you have the eye of Argus him¬
self, you will find no space devoted to his
efforts. Poor fool, he, with mayhap, choice a
family to support, Hobson, accepts the he would of
the immortal or as
leave be on the Brice side to-night, and
be talking as loudly and as rabidly for
Cleveland and reform. It is not to him,
but to his auditors that I wish to invite
the attention of the people whom he
nightly calumns. When he asserted that
if Cleveland were re-elected president
the south would disenfranchise the col¬
ored vote, I expected to see his audience
swilo blandly at such a broad campaign
i“bluff.” I evidently gave New Yorkers
too much credit well for good sense. goods At a
signal from a dressed dry
clerk the whole crowd broke into a wild
and hilarious cheer, which lasted some
moments.
I would like to have given that man
som points about those remarks of his.
I would like to have shown him that a
southern democrat will not only main¬
tain negro suffrage, but do it at all haz¬
ards from a standpoint of political self-
P reservation; and further, I would also
hi ave given a good deal to have jumped
up on the stand and drawn a picture

abiding republicans of Gotham during

Sherman on the YV«*t Lrltt r.
Portland, IihL, Nov.B.—]—
Senator Sherman addressed a large gath¬
ering of republicans here to-day, touch¬
ing upon all the Dsues of the campagin.
Of the Murchison-West letter he said:
“The trouble is that Minister West
simply told the truth. There is not a
word in Minister West’s letter but what
every man here knows to be true. In
other words, all the policy of this admin¬
istration is in favor of England. It is
said the letter to Mr. West is a forgery.
I don’t know about that; maybe it was,
but the letter from Mr. West was not a
forgery. If I had been in their place, I
would have said Mr. West told the truth
and we are standing by him through the
whole, but they have given him the
shake, and all that remains for you to
give Mr. Cleveland is the sack."
Mr. Sherman then discussed at some
length the Mills bill and the tariff, and
closed with an eloquent appeal to the
Hoosier voters in behalf of Gen. Harri¬
son, “the heroof Peachtree creek, and a
man that honored Indiana in the United
States senate for six years.”
JURORS IN TEARS
A Baltimore Girl Vitriol Thrower ou Trial
for the Crime.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 3.— -Mary Bvo-
phy, a bright and attractive girl of 20
years, has been tried for throwing vitriol
in the face of Harry Coleman. Not unti
she went on the stand, and with tears
and moans told her story, was it known
that Coleman had betrayed her. While
telling her story the ladies in court, and
some of the jurors, were moved to tears.
Just facing the girl, while she was giv¬
ing her testimony, stood the man who
had betrayed her. His face was horri¬
bly scarred. The two met in the winter
of 1887, and, under promise of marriage,
Coleman betryed the girl, the result be¬
ing that a baoe was born in the latter
part of the summer of 1888. Coleman .
resorted to illegal means to destroy the i
child, and was subsequently indicted for I
the attempted crime. j
The father of Miss Brophy interceded
in his behalf, and secured a nolle pros j
upon the promise that he would marry
the girl and save disgrace to the family ; I
but this he failed to do. The girl, crazed
with grief, in company with her mother,
who knew nothing of her daughter’s in¬
tentions, sought her betrayer at his
house. It was after 11 o'clock at night
• hen the girl rapped at his door and
called him forth, and, according to her
story, after his emphatic refusal to com¬
ply with his promise to marry her, threw
the vitriol in his face, disfiguring him
for life.
After being out one hour, the jury said
they were unable to agree, thereupon the
state with the consent of the court, nolle
prossed the case.
