[TELEURAPHED TO TUE ASSOCIATED FBE88.1 Chicago, October 8.—The federation of trades and labor unions continued its ses sion this morning. A telegram was re ceived from the New Jersey Eight-Hour League, urging the federation to consider the eight-hour law. The question was read and a reply returned that decided action would be taken on the subject. The legis lative committee made au extensive re port, in which it was contended that strikes, when based on justice and conducted with discretion, served a good end, although the beneficial results might not be imme diately felt by those engaged in them. The statistics for the last four months showed that strikes numbered in the United 8ta*es ninety-eight, affecting 53 000 employes. Of the number fifty had been against a redaction of wsges and seven for an increase of wages. The commiit e reported in connection with tbr eight-hour question that it had addressed the national conventions of both the lb-publican and Democratic par- i ties, hut had received no response from w either. The committee believed that it wasu-eles- to wait for legislation, and that the desired result was only to be at tained by thorough organization. A re cess was then taken. HOMICIDE IN DOOLY. Disastrous Effects of the Dry Weather —Personal, Etc. Vienna, Ga., October 8.—Frank Collier, colored, was shot and instantly kilted yes terday afternoon, on the plantation of Mr. William Summerford, about six miles northwest of V : enna, on the Montezuma road, by Ed Trippe, a young white man, who res ded on the same place. The state ment of the latter so nearly coincides with those of the witnesses said to have been present that we will give it: Frank Collier was a hand regularly employed on the plantation of Mr. hummerford. Trippe runs a small store on the place and super intends the gin, etc. Yesterday evening Trippe went in the field where Collier was picking cotton and ordered him to go to the gin and assist in packing some cotton. Tin- Collier refused to do, atul Trippe told him if he <iid not go he would kill him. Col far replied that he would “have it to do. ihrn.” and. Trippe says, made a mo tion, as if to draw a weapon of tome kind, when Trippe drew his pfatol and shot him, He was only a few feet distant, and t'ie ball entered the left side, producing in stantaneous death. Trippe cauie to Vi enna ai.d surrendered to the town mar- Nhaf. who dt-clined to take h»m into cus tody, but referred him to the sheriff. The latter gentieu an not being in town, no ar rest was or has up to time of writlqg been made. The drouth in this section has become alarming.

[TELEGRAPHED TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] New York, October 7.--In response to the resolutions presented him from thena tio.ial Democratic convention, Samuel J Tilden tenders thanks. He Says the great national want is reform in the national government, which can only be accom plished by a Democratic administration. He says the Republican party is largely made up of those wh d Bve on their wits, while the Democratic party consists of those who live by their hands, and the in dispensable necessity of our time is a change of admtHfatration. The following is Mr. Tilden’a letter in full: Guf.ystonk. October 1884—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Committee: 1 thank you for the kind terms in which you have com municated the resolution adopted by the late Democratic national convention. 1 snare your conviction that reform In the administration of the Kedera government, which is our gr« at national want, and is, indeed, essential to the restoration and preservation of the govern ment Itself, can only be achieved through the agency of the Deiffpcratic party, and by In stalling its representative in he chief magis tracy of the United States.

Octooer d —Mr. Blaine's tlona which attach to the Republican party make It hopeless to expect that tiiat party will he able to give a better government thau Ithe debasing system of abuses which durind its ascendancy has infected official and politil cal life in this country. The I»nu>cratle party had its origin in the efforts of the more ad-l vauced of tne revolutionary fathers to r< sist the perversion of our government from the idea) contemplated by tnc peoptc. Among its conspicuous founder* were Benjamin Frank ton and Robert R. Mvingatono of New York, and George Wythe aud James Madison, of Virginia. From the election of Mr. Jefferson as President, in IS* 0, for ixty years the Democratic party mainly directed ou national policy. It extender the lxmndari* _ of the republic, the foundation of all our na tional sreatness, while it preserved the limi tations imposed by the constitution and main tainerl a simple and puro system of dome*tic administration On the other hand, the Re publican party hat always been do.i lusted by principles which favor legislation for the benefit of particu or classes at tho expense of the body of the people. It has beou>c deeply tainted with the abuses which naturally grow up during the long pos*es"ion of unchecked power, especially In a period of civil war and false finance. The patri tic and virtuous ele ments In It are now unable to emancipate It from the sway of selfish interests, which sub ordinate public duty to personal greed The most hoi>* fui of tho best citizens It contains despair of its amcudxncnt, except through Its temporary expulsion from power. It has been boa>tingly asserted by a modern Massachu setts statesman, struggling to reconcile himself and bis followers to their Presidential candi date, that the Republican party contains a disproportionate share of tho wealth, culture and IntelUzeuce of the country. The unprin cipled Grafton, when taunted by James 11 with his personal want of conscience an swered : "That is true, but I belong to a party that has a great deal of conscience." Sucu reosoners forget that the same claim has been made tn oil ages and countries by the defend ers ol old wrongs against new reforms. It was alleged by tha Tories of the American rcvoln tlon against tha patriots of that day. It was attvoi against those who in England are now endeavoring to enlarge (he popular suffrage. All history shows that reforms In government must not be expected from thuae who, serene ly, on social mountain tops, are enjoying** benefits of the existing order of things. K' the Uivlno author of our religion found his followers not among the aelf-comnlarent Pharisees but among tne lowly-minded fisher men. The Republican party is largely made up of those who live by their wlta, and who aspire in politic* to advantages over the rest of mankind similar to those which their dally lives are devoted to securing In private business. The Democratic party is com posed largely of those who live by tho work of their hands and whose political action is governed by their sentiments or imagination. It results that the Democratic party, more readily than the Republican pa ty. can be moulded to tho sup port of reform measures which involve the sacrifice of selfish interests. The indispens able necessity of our times Is a change of ad ministration tn the great executive offices of the country. This, in my Judgment, can only be accomplished by the election of tho Demo cratic candidates for President and Vice- President. Samuel J. Tilde*, To R. II. Henry, chairman, it B. Smalley and others of the special committee of the Dem ocratic national convention. JOHN C. THOMPSON ON OHIO. Blunt Talk About Democratic Prospects In That State. Columbus, October 5.—Colonel S. K. Donavin ii editor of the Times. He is a pronounced Democrat, one of the old school kind, and a genial gentleman. John G. Thompson, once upon a time ser- geant-at-armeof the House of Representa tives. is also a resident of Coiambus, was formerly interested in the Times, end is as well known in Columbus as Governor Hoadly (and a good deal more popular). The Times being a Democratic organ, in fact, the representative of Democracy in Columbus, both the ex-*ergeant-at-arms and Colonel Donavin are naturally hand and glove. When Thompson and Donavin went to the Chicago convention they went deter mined, if possible, to get Allan G. Thur man nominated for the Presidency. Mr. Thurman is also a resident of Columbus, and probably the most popular man in Ohio. But John McLean captured the Ohio delegation by one of those little sleiglit-of hand feats which he is so famil iar with'and when Colonel Donavin threw himself back into his editorial chair aftor his return from toe Chicago convention he said, wiping his honest, red face: "Well, well, they may say what they plea«e. Old Judge Thurmau is the man the Democracy ought to have put up. He co dd carry Ohio, and I haven t the small *»*t faith in Cleveland’s even carrying New York." The Star reporter yesterday interviewed both Mr. Thompson and Colonel Donavin. Said the former: "I am just ns well satisfied that Blaine ill carry Ohio as that you and I are sit ting here in Goodall Park. Everything shows it. We tried to make a fight for Ohio, but of what avail Ii There isn’t any enthusiasm for Clevehffid. People out hare don’t know him. They swallow him whole, the same as they would swallow any party candidate; but even while they may vote for him themstjlvcs they wou f t work for him." “How about the miners vote?" "Weil, that’s a difficult thing to answer. Mr. Cleveland's attitude on the labor ques tion is not to satisfy.the fitiners, and still, wh’le some will vote for him. there will he a serious defection,both to Blaine and But- Colonel Donavin, of the Times, allfe-long Democrat, takes to-day the same despon dent view of the situation that he did when he came back from Chicago. "Do you suppose," taid be. “that Cleveland will carry Ohio, even if we do let off newspa pers and other firework* ? Here we are. with Blaine coming here just at the nick of election time, and making a big boom. 1 want to see the old ticket successful, and am working for it witlxas much heart a* I can, but it is a foregone conclusion that Blaine will capturo u Bio. 1 said in the beginning of the voting at Chicago thatTnurman was our man; that Ohio was vital to us. and it was of the first im portance to us to put up a man who ts probably the only one who could cany the Htate. But t he convention wouldn’t listen to reason, and now all we can do is to make the best fight we can. As to the majority, we shall try to make it as light as we can, Fortunately, wc are uot entangle t at this election with any prohibitory question for, with the number of German* in Co lumbus, 1 don’t think Mr. St. John will poll a very heavy vote."

FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 117,188 ll.'.T'i 4,421 2,137 New York Times. Philadelphia, Pa., October 5.—At Mc- Colgan'i pool rooms, the headquarters of the sporting men of. this city, there has not been a dollar bet on the election for several weeks. McColgan holds stakes amounting to about $3,100, all bet even money, partly on the result in New Yotk and partly on the general result. But all these beta were made early in the canvass. He does not hold a dollar on Ohio a* d don’t know of a bet of that kind. Mr. Hensel, chairman of the Democratic State committee, says that generally in this State, so far as he has heard, the bets are about $100 to $00 ln favor of Blaine. Pittsburg, Penn., October 5.—Betting here is about even. Republicans are in the preponderance, but tbe Democrats ap pear to have plenty of money. Last even ing a weger of $1.0u0 was made in a pool room that Cleveland wonld he elected. Another bet of $300 was covered Immedi ately afterward that Blaine wonld have 212 electoral votes. Other wagers heard of were: $500 to $4C0 that Cleveland would carry New York; $100 each.that Ohio. In diana, New York. New Jersey, and Con necticut would go Democratic; $1,000 to ! >750 that Ohio would go Republicon at doth elections. It is reported that a svn dicate of Republicans here have $50,000 to ager even on Blaine's election. Baltimore October 5.—Betting here now Is just about even on the two Presi dential candidates, but neither the backers of Blaine nor Cleveland a-em anxious to put up much money on the result John Quifin has taken up iwo five hundred dol lar bets that Cleveland will win. but did not feci like tsking any more if It had been offered. On the other side, George Cassidy has put no much money for outside par ties that Blaine will win, giving slight odds in his favor. Washington, October 5 —Very few wa gers have been laid in this city on the re sult of tho Presidential election, and such beta as h ive been made have involved in significant sums. Here and there one hears of a five or ten dollar bet. an 1 in one or two cases as high as $25 has been put ». So far as can be ascertained, the wa rs have been for even money as a rule. _je government clerks, who make npso large a part ot tbe population of Wash ington, cannot afford to bet large amount* because they do not have enough money to allow much of it tube tied up in a stake holder’s hands for any length of time. The permanent residents, not having the fran chise, cannot be expeefad to take enough interest in the elections to bring them up to the betting point. The sp jrBng ele ment of the population is so small that when betting min from abroad come here to artend the races they always complain ofthe lack o: bm-incs* at the betting stands. Richmond, Va., October 5.—Few bets have been made here on the apDroachlng election. Tbe largest amount offered to be wagered, so far as known, ii $2,500. A well known sporting man has made known his willingness to put up this amount on the election of Blaine and New York be ing carried by him. Up to this time be has fouud no takers. Another party has publicly announced bis willingness to bet $1,000 against $750 that BlrTne wifi he elected. No one baa yet taken tbe bet. Tne only wafers made here so far are con fined to small amounts, ranging from $25 to $100 A Democratic syndicate baa been formed here for the purpose of furnishing money to bet on tbe election of • levtlaml. Few risks will be taken by them until after the Ohio election. Boston October 5.—Betting men in this city and vicinity ar«* in a quandary at tni stage of the political canvass, and think long before putting up any money, either on the result In this State or in the coun* hedge. Nearly al) bets range from $100 down. St. Louie, Mo, October 5.—Upon the blackboard at Roche’a Turf Exchange for the last week th*re has been writfan in big AMERICAN EFFORTS TO brino about. white letters the following: “$2 500 otfaied here on Cleveland carrying New York " “Do you waut odds?" John Hatfield, Roche’s bookmaker, was asked. “No." replied the latter imlilrg/'we will take even money." * . •Do you i find any one willing to bet even money that Blaine will carry New York?" Well, not many. The other dav we booked iw'* bets of s800 and $l.t 00on Cleve land carrying New York, and in each of toese we took the short end altogether. Cleveland ha» quite thecal! when it comes to carrying New York, and upon tho elec tion he is also in the lead. Nashville, October 5.—The bfets mode in this city on the Presidential election are mostly small, but Cleveland is, with out doubt, tbe favorite with those who are inclined to wager money on the -esult. The larj pat bet that has been made is one of $1,000 to $700 that Cfaveland wid carry New York. Oucof $1500 or $1,000 even that Blaine will c-rry New York has fa-en ofiVred, and will likely be t-ken in a few days. A number of wagers ranging from $25 to $100 that C’evefand will beat Blaine in New York have been made, the beta being almost invariably even. Duting the next few days monty will be sent to New York to bet on Cleveland, aa It is be lieved better wagers can be placed tnere than here. Louisville, October 5.—There is no bet ting here.
