C., Sept. 1.—Governor McSweeney has issued an address in which, after calling attention to the fact that he and Colonel Hoyt will rim over for governor on Sept. 11, he ap peals to the dispensary advocates to rally to his support.

Feather- stone in charge, and the principal work will be done at this place. Mr. Feather- stone said: “To have got such a vote with such odds against him is a great victory for Colouel Hoyt and the cause which he has so ably advocated. It shows that the people believe iu the right and they recognize the ability aud purity of Colouel Hoyt. “I am satisfied that his chances are i good. Governor McSweeuey’s lead of a few thousand votes amounts to little. If Colouel Hoyt’s friends know his strength and will go to work he will be our next governor. “Part of the Gary and Patterson vote came from their personal friends, not because they believed in tlie dispensary, but because they recognized the bouesty aud ability of Gary aud Pattersou.

A system atic aud orgauized effort will now be made by Colonel Hoyt’s friends from this on and there is every reason to be lieve that he will be our next governor. ’. One Killed; Several Wounded.

Placards aud pamphlet! are being circulated in Canton and th« provinces intimating that the allies ar« thoroughly routed. The feeling againsl foreigners is bursting the bounds ol official control.
