THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER5, 1884. A GRAND RALLY. A CONVENT SUED. YORK IRISHMEN UNITE GREAT DEMONSTRATION Cleveland and Hendrlck»-8«nntor noa Given the Reasons Why All Irishmen*.Should be Demo crats — Resolutions. New York, August 28.—The Cleveland and Ho ndricks meeting which was held to night at the Academy of Music, organ ised by Irishman and the descendants of Irish, was a grand auccets, both in point of numbers and enthusiasm. Long before the doors were opened the entrances were packed, and the streets in the vicinity were crowded with people. Ten minutes after the doors were opened all seats were occu pied and all standing room. Many ladies were in the room. Street Commissioner Coleman called the meeting to order, and nominated Kugene Kelly for chairman. The latter made no address. The list of vice presidents of the meeting was then read. Among them were Park Commissioner Cornelius. cx-Senator Gossins. Senator Daly, John K. Donelly, John Pox, ex-Mavor Grace, Flfkiry L. Hognat, Judges Hogan and Kelly, Gen. Martin T. Mac Mahon, Col. E. M. Roberta and others. United 8tates Sen ator Jones, of Florida, was then introduced and was greeted with cheers. He said that the country had been told by many of its leading journalists and politicians that the time had arrived when every citizen of Irish birth ought to' leave the Democratic party ami go over to the Republicans. What bod the Democrat!: party done to forfeit Irish confidence? What had the Republican party done to merit it? The latter had been in power for more that twenty years, and during that time the great body of men of Irish blood of this continent had stood where their fa thers did—steadfast in their devotion, enthusiastic in their support, unwavering in their fidelity to Democratic principles, whether on the battle field yielding their life’s blood in defense of union or in the struggle of ordinary life by sweat and toil adding to the wealth and growth of the republic. They have never deserted the grand old party which was ever true to them. All other fortign citizens were as much in debted to the Democratic party as the Irish, but there was this difference between the latter and all other foreign bora citi zens : the Irish were tbe only people who came here from Europe who had no politi cat allegiance to bind them to a foreign power. The Democratic party, under tne lead of Jefferson, came into life to protect and defend the great principles of our constitution from the assaults and usurpations of those who had no confidence in the intel ligence and capacity cf the people for self- government. The first great victory won by tbe Democratic party was in the inter est of furdgo bora citizens and the right of free discussion. But for the effort of the Democratic party in behalf of foreign bora men, aome of the new recraita of the Republican party would not have the right to stand on this soil. The Irish p-ople of America were entitled to great credit for the inttld genes they disblayed in adhering to the Democratic party above any oth er, for the liberality it dis. layed towards all naturalized cititnna. whilo other forego- bom citizens appeared inditlercnt upon the subject. ’The trust reptsed in the Demo cratic party has never been disregarded, and the foreign policy of this government while in Democratic bands reflected honor ui«n the republic and gave security to all our citizens. Senator Jones spoke at aome length on the oppression and wrongs the Irish had Hiifftred at. tbe hands of the English. There was no people, he declared, in the world who had fullered so much for prin ciple as the Irish. The great crime of Jv'Kland, for which she would one day snfnur more than ever she had, was in using her great power, w social and political, in attempt* to degrade thin noble race. The speaker said ue did not come to pander to tt cm for thtir voies or influence. He owed leas - to tto wen o! bis raoe than any othsr man of Irish blood that had held high political station in the country,but ha acknowledged his obligations to the Democratic party, and its free tolerant principles for all that he was and ail that he ever expected to be. Tho following resolutions were then read and adopted: . “ Retolztd, That the national Democratic party has always maintained the dignity of citiz*mahip. Irrespective of creed or place An Alleged Conaptraoy to Obtain Posses sion of Property.

Evansville, August 29.—At 9 o’clock this morning, the most destructive hurri cane ever known here broke upon the city, doing damage of not less than a quarter of a million dollars in the city and vicinity. Ilouses were blown down, roofs carried away, three or four steamboats badly in jured, thousands of shade trees torh up by the roots and other injury done. It is im- P ossible to give the amount of damage. rcbably the heaviest individual loser was John H. Rollaker, whose new foundry was almost wholly destroyed. The steamers Josh V. Thorp and Silver Thorn were badly damaged, the former were uauiv uio turiucr almost wrecked, several churches aulTered severely; also one new school-house.

Tho American Party's Candidates to Withdraw In Favor of tho Prohffiltlonlsto. Washington, August 27.—Mr. Edward Bailey, secretary of the American party, whose nominees for President and Vice- President are Pomeroy and Conant, said to-day that the rumor that these two gen tlemen would withdraw in favor of 8t. John and Daniel was true. Ho said their national committee would meet either here or in Chicago about two weeks hence. They had been authorized by tbe convention to fill any vacancies that might occur. It has been decided that at that meeting Pomeroy and Conant ahull present letters to the committee recommending that the party support 8t John and Dauiel and expressing their own willingness to withdraw. To tbe question "Do not the principles of the two parties differ consid erably ?” Mr. Bailey replied: ‘‘They are united in sentiment upon tho temperance question, and upon the ques tion of tariff or finance both parties favor a conservative course. Both favor civil service reform. But the Prohibitionists do not adopt the anti-Masonic features of the American parly, but will support the men and not their party.” "Is 8t. John regarded as an antl-Ma- son?” "He has been a Free Mason,” said Mr. Bailey, “but has not. as I am informed, attended a lodge meeting for seventeen years. He is, I am told, practically with us in sentiment, though he has uever made an issue of the matter. If the proposition prevails we will have a Prohibition head quarters here as well as our own.” Mr. Badey expressed the opinion that the American party can do more effective campaign work by supporting St. John thau by running an indet»endent ticket. He taougntthatin Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio, and especially Iudiana, the combined parties would greatly jeopardize the Republican chances of success and aid tbe Democrats. ‘ Nearly all the Prohibition vote.” said Mr Bailey, "is drawn from the Republican party. Now, if tbe Republican party is beaten this time we will have some chance in the next campaign. There is a superstition which holds the Republican party together, that when Republicans go out power the country will to ruin. When the Republicans see that this is not ho, a great many votes now held by the Republican party will be set free, and the prohibition movement will gain by it. "There is a movement going on in New York which is net generally noticed,” Mr. Bailey added. "*SL John, Bayne, Finch, Miss Willard and oth**r prominent Prohibitionists are hold ing temperance camp meetings there, which are attended by as many as 8,000 or 10,000 people. They aro arousing consid erable enthusiasm. Now there is a Prohi bition vote there, any way, of about 20,000, and, if they can succeed in doubling that, you can see it mar make some difference with the result in the State.” HENDRICKS SPEAKS AND ANNOUNCES PLAINLY FOR TARIFF REFORM. i CHIms that a Lessening of Taxes Would Restore Prosperity to the Country—Blaine's Foreign Policy Condemned. [telegraphed to the associated press.] Indianapolis, August 30.—The campaign this State was formally opened by both parties to-day and hundreds of speeches were delivered in cities and towns In vari ous parts of Indiana. In this city the Re publicans did not hold a meeting. The Democrats had a large demonstration, uniformed clubs, carrying torches and transparences, participating. The speak ing took place from a stand and circle, where ex Gov. Hendricks addressed an sons. Gov. Hendricks said: Fellow-citizens: I appreciate the privi lege and honor of addressing you, and I recognize the duty of speaking frankly and without concealment or exaggeration of any material fact or opinion. I first call your attention to tho necessity and impor tance of revenue reform. The power to levy and collect taxes is among the highest and most responsible of the attributes of government. It ranks with the right and faculty to take private property for public use and with the right and power of trans ferring a citizen from the pursuits of private life to the duties and hazards of It takes from a man that which is effect of the measure upon the business interests of the country, vlt is in accord ance with this statement that the Demo cratic party stands pledged in its platform "to revise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all interests, and that any change of tbe law must be at ev- ery step regardful of the labor and capital employed in the industries of the country, and that cut tom house taxes shall beat heaviest on articles of luxury and lightest on articles of necessity.

The modification ot the internal revenue aystem and the tariff made in the March following left an excess of 289,000.000 ot revenue. In his last annual report (December 3d last) tb* Secretary of th* Treasury estimates ths surplus of the current year at 285.000.000, aud adds: “So that the quMItou still presses a* to what legislation is necessary to relies* th* popple of un necessary taxes,’’ Yes; it is a question of 286,000.000 ot unnecessary taxes in one year. The accumulation is constant. In a speech racentiy made at Richmond, Mr. Cslktne, a candidate lor Gorernor, boasting of tbe achievements of bis parly, mads a statement, which 1 adopt without examination, that ths Republican party found an empty treaaun; now tt has a surplus of 2400,000,000. That is an enor mnusaum of money—mort, 1 believe than half the paper currency of the country. Estimating our population at 60,000,000. it is 28 for each mao, woman and child. That great sum ot mousy lies idle in the treasury. If-it hod been lef t with tb* peo ple. it would become tha willing and act- Ira servant of labor. It would benefit and tt is claimed Blaine’s will be purely Amer ican and dashing. Mr. Hendricks said: “Hie South American interference was neither. Of course we know what vote this claim is intended to reach. I think it will fail. That vote ia too intelligent.” He called attention to tbe platforms of both parties and said they do not differ mate rially on the subject Ho then contracted two cases—that ot Morton Kasztta under a Democratic and that of MiSwecney un der Blaine as Secretary of Slate: He said in the Kasseta case, the courage of Cap*. Ingraham, of tha nav/, who demanded the release ol Ksizets, and the learning and ability of Secretary Marcy not only restored Katzeta to hit liberty and to hi* rights, but established tbe same rights in favor of every emigrant to thu counity. Tbe case gave to our country a great posi tion and infinence among other uatlons. After reviewing the Mc-lweeney case be concluded as follows: “Was it not enough that Mr. B'aino was informed that an American citizen was confined tn a British- iail, aud that he had been guilty of no violation of law—that no charge bad been made against him? Could duty be plainer or its neglect more flagrant? Had' Marcey been Sec re ary of State at the time would McSweeney have languished in prisonfpr ten months? Would his wife's letter have lain unnoticed in the State De partment?' Under Marcy American rights were vindicated; nnder Blaine they were ocfflectad*. “Not long since I made the acquaintance of Gor.

Solve this question, my countrymen, by reducing taxes, and thus leaving money not needed by tlie government in the pock ets of the people and channels of trade and commerce. The paity in power wall not give ca ibte reform. As the years have rolled by, with them in power, the ma chinery of the law, inexorable in Ua actloa, ha* cone on cullectlng from the tax-payers money in exoessol the government’* weds. A candidate lot Governor boasts of this accumulation, in contrast with th* low taxes and short rev enue and empty treasury of former days. Tbe high rates and overflowing treasury of theta times become, in the appreciation ot himself and hi* political associates, tb* achierementaof exhaustive staWemanship. Learning and arguments are exhausted in the political papers of these time* in sup port ot high taxation, to the end and far the purpose of relieving tb* favored alsgsas from tbe competition of a generous and liberal tradr. Of course revenue reform must come from other quarters. It can't come from the representatives of the favored classes, who ask i wquslitv in legis lation that there may be unjust inequality iu the profits of tbe varied purtnils of tb* people. May I ask your attention to the plan and principles of revenue reform to which the Democracy are pledged by tbe Chicago platform 7 “Federal taxation shall not exceed the needs of the government economically at- ministered.” Do you approve that? Ilnot, would you have the government waatefully or corruptly administered to make room and pretext for higher Federal taxes. [TgLgUXAVUgD TO TUX ASSOCIATED rgEai.] Sr. louts.
