A ROUSING SPEECH
4 Fearful Arr*!irnm.-nt of the Btpubllosn Party-
Enthusiasm of the Great Mass aCeetlu*-
The Speaker interrupted for Several
Minutes by Proloosed Cheer*.
Cincinnati, October 10.—Hon. Thomas A.
Hendrick* reached here to-day tfnd was driven
to hie hotel without any parade or ceremony.
In the afternoon he took a drive through the
suburbs and received calls, but made no ad-
• 'dress. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, Judge
Thurman and General Rosecrans are also in
the city to attend the meeting' to
night. Senator Bayard, during the
day, visited the chamber of commerce,
. snd made a brief speech to the effect that he
had found in his public life great help from
bis business education received when a youth.
At night oil the gejdlemen named were driven
to the music hall and found it almost impossi
ble to enter, so greot was the throng.
As ex-Governor ' Hendricks made his
way through the, throng to the stage
and appeared at the speaker's doik, the entire
mass of people rose to their feet and cheered
again and again, waved hats and bandker
chiefs and suonted for Cleveland and Ifen
dricks. Similar demonstrations of less intern
aity marked the appe&rince of General Bose
crans, Senator Bayard, Judge Thurman, and
Senator Pendleton. Mr. E. Ingalls, pres
ident of tho Cincinnati, Indianap
olis, St. Louis and Chicago
the meeting to order and ml
Pendleton as the chairman, The sonator in a
very few words introduced ex-Governor Hen
dricks, who, after a repetition of demonstra
tion made when he entered the hall, began
his speech by saying that the election of next
Tuesday is of great importance on account of
the ofUces to bo filled, but moro especially
because of the influence it will have on all
atatesatthe November election. Ho there
fore annealed to Ohio to give all proper con
sideration to this election. Tho election in
November was not only a choice of men but a
decision of national policy, that decision
would turn not only on the men presented
but on the policies and principles thoy repre
sented. He then proceeded to argue that
there should be.a change In tho administra
tion of tho government, and gave among his
reasons the concession in tho republican plat
form that the tariff was laid ur ”
that moro revenue was collected than was
necessary for economy in the administration
of the government. If these faults were con
ceded by the parly which has been-in
power for nearly m quarter of a century, he
Assorted it should be changed,so that a remedy
could be applied. In proof of the kuowledge
by the republican party of tho existence of
cxccsstvo revenue, he cited President Arthur's
message two years ago, when he called the
attention of congress to this matter and
auggested appropriate legislation, The revenue
Jaws were modified but not sufficiently, and
bow tho excess of revenue above requirements
of economical administration was eighty-fivo
millions annually. This sum was improperly
kept from the business uses of the country,
and tho government was compollAl to build
expensive vaults for Its
Wist ,
••No," “No.") Four years ago, he said, times
were fairly good and lair prices wero obtained
for products aud fair wages for labor. Repub*
licnn orators said “Let well enough alone,"
and wo were not ablo to apswor that short
but powerful argument. Do thoy say so now,
when wheat is fifty cents a bushel lower than
It was then? when men are everywhore sock
ing employment aud after finding it have to
work at reduced wages. • When times are as
bard indeed as they ore now, the argument is:
•'Let* thcro bo a change, that times
may be better." [Cheers.] I
think that argument ought
to have great weight, when tho party in pow
er keeps calling iu from the'pooplo $35,000,000
more of taxes than is ucccssary. Turning to
tho question of what remody the democrats
tho
Grover Cleveland aiuf Thomas A. Hendricks.
[Hero cheering for several minutes interrupt
ed tho speaker, aud when it ceased ho added]:
And they wero required to entry it before tho
public, and with it in their hands either to
stand or to fall. [Cheers.] That platform com
mands my approval, and I pledge fidelity,
to it iu my official life. Continuing his argu
ment for change he said it’ might bo bettor
It couldnt be woose. (A voice “you may bo
rounted out.") “Gentlemen," said Mr. Ilin-
d ricks, “there is no danger of that; of all men
in this country, honest republicans are most
tired of that business."
He then, in a facetious manner, read the de
mands of (he republican platform for the res
toration of the navy and for tho destruction of
2>olygamy, and said he too wonted a navy so
strong that no foreign power shall dare to
place American citizons in tho jails
of Ireland without cause, whether
their name be McSweeny
or any thing else. Deferring to the German
defection in Ohio, he said the republicans
were trying to make up for it by getting Irish
■Votes. This he regarded as proof of despera
tion. He doubted likelihood of the Irish vot
ing with the republicans for a man who, as
secretary of state, allowed McSweony an
American citizen, to lie in a
foreign jail without charge and
without trial. After. ridiculing tho plank
against polygamy in the republican platform
* be closed by an appeal to the freemen of Ohio
to regard the bellot as being too sacred for
barter. If voters are determined that there
•bould be pure ballot next Tuesday dsmocrata
would win. If the ballots were permitted to
be bought and sold they would lose.
Senator Bayard followed in a speech of con
siderable length, after which short addresses
were made by Judge Thurman and Oeneral
Jicsccrans.

Republican Efforts to Carry Ohio — How
West Virginia Stands.
N ew York, October 7.—Senator A. P. Gor
man, the Maryland member of the demeeratio
national committee, has made a close study of
tho political situation. lie was asked for his
views on the Ohio and West Virginia elections,
and remarked:
“The democrats made the Chicago nomina
tions*" ho answored, “without auy expecta
tion of carrying Ohio at cither the October or
the November election/Had (hey believed thoy
would be able to csrry Ohio Tnnrman would
doubles* have received more consideration at
ui-
thc hand of the sconventiqn. After tho noml
nation of Blaine, however, it was
stoto. Not only aro the republicans reheating
in Ohio tho methods they used iu Indiana in
1680 in tho expenditure of enormous sums of
money, but they have in active scrvico Pen
sion Commissioner Dudley and ouito a number
of his special inspectors working among the
soldiers. Consequently the pension claims of
from three thousand to four thousand soldiers
ore, they say, now being investigated by those
officials, who have permitted the papers to
slumber for years in tho bureau at Washing
ton.
THX PREVAILING DISTRESS.
“What is your opinion of the situation
there?"
“I don't believe.the stoto conld bo bought if
there were prosperous times thore; but tho
fact is tho republicans have takon advantage
of the distress of twenty or thirty thousand
persons now out of employment, and it re
mains to be f l '* ‘
caused this
i seen w,
distress,
want and misery will bo
permuieu to lurtncr enslave the suffering peo
ple. If tho republicans carry Ohio at ail it
will bankrupt their treasury, while wo will
remain intact to go on with the contest on tho
line mado at tho time of tho Chicago nomina
tions."
“Can the democrats cope with tho republi
cans in the expenditure of tho vast sums of
money of which you speak?"
“No. Tho democratic committeo has been
necessarily relying upon the patriotism of tho
people, and has no resources on which to draw
ixcept voluntary contributions, which aro
comparatively small, and yet sufficient to ena
ble us to effect a good organization in Ohio. If
we do win a victory thcro noxt wock it will bo
tho most brilliant as well as the most remark
able in the political annals of the country.
But from the fact that Ohio has been republi
can from thirty to forty thousand majority, I
would eay it is imiwssiblo for us to carry tho
stato at tills time.'*
WEST VIRGINIA.
!o you think al
tions in West Virginia?"
'The republicans contemplated the samo
dies thcro that thoy are practicing in Ohio,
d, relying on local troubles, supposed Wost
Virginia was also for solo. Whilo for tho past
three vears we have not hsd moro than 3,200
majority, you may rest assured that West
Virginia will show by her vote that thero is at
least ono October stato tvhich cannot bo
bought."
“From a patient inquiry and investigation
do you consider tho general political outlook
favorable to tho democratic party?" *

Washington, October 10.—Mr. Nira*

handed his annual report to tho secretory of
the treasury. It embrace* tho following top
ics: Foreign commerce of the United States;
duties on imports; tonnage and movomontsj

foreign commerce to international commerce"'
and transportation. Tho matter of chief im

of tho products of tho various industries of tho
United States is seven times the total
vplue of our foreign commerce; nearly,
tbice times the total valuo of tho foreigu com
merce of Greot Britain and Ireland, and five
times tho total of the foreign commerce of
Froncc, including in each case both import
and exports. Tho total valuo of the product
of industry in the United States is also shown
to bo littlo moro than twice the valuo of tho
exports of morchandiso from all coun
tries of Europe. Tho United States ia
now the largest manufacturing country on
tho globe. Tho valuo of tho produets of
American manufactures consumed at homo
is five times the value of tho manufactured
products of Great Britain exported to all other
countries, and moro than fourteen times tho
value of manufactured products from Franco
to all other countries. Tho rcl&tivo
vnlno of our internal as compared to our
foreign commerce, is also illustrated
by a statement showing that 09 per cent of

The Defendant Discharged by Judge Snell,
| of the District of Columbia.
Washington, October 8.—Judge Snell In the
police court rendered to-day a decision iu the
civil rights esse of Emanuel M. Hewitt, col
ored, vs. John Fowler, proprietor of the Pa-
tomac river steamer John Mosely. This was
suit brought under the crimal clause of the
_ vll rights act for an alleged refusal to sell
the plaintiff a supper ticket on a passenger
steamer plying between Washington and
Norfolk. Judge Snell in rendering
bis decision said: The burden of proof is on
the government to show that Mr. Hewitt was
refused a ticket on account of his race, color,
etc. The offense must have occurred in the
District of Columbia. Tha law has bean de
clared unconstitutional so far as tha states are
concerned, but as being in full force in the
District of Columbia- If the chargo was proven
that complainant was refused a ticket In the
District of Columbia, I should have no hesi-
rectories; moro than 99 per cent of
manufactures of silk; 97 per cent of our man
ufactures of glass, glassware, earthenware and
stoneware aro consumed in tho United States.
Mr. Niinmo sets forth tho conditions which
rcetain the largo and general exportation of
American manufactures and also the condi
tions favorable to the exportation of certain
articles of American manufactures. Referring
to the periods oi phonotnonal prosperity
and of phenomenal depression which havo
from the beginning marked tho commercial
industrial growth of the country, ho says:
'Experience has proved thoso fluctuations to

able spirit of enterprise outrunning

wae literally loaded down with chains. Whoa

Divers Views Kxpreisetl In the Debate oi
the Cathedral System.
Detroit, October 8.—The Episcopal eon
;rest was called to order this morning by
Jiahop Harris. The cathedral system in
America was the subject announced for* dis
cussion, The first sneaker was Rev. H. II.
Hart, of Denver, who held that the cathedral
is necessary to the bishop, for without it ho is
like an admiral without a fleet. The bishop’s
cathedral is his diocesan seal. He held that
the cathedral with schools at
tached is essential. The second
speaker. Rev. J. II. Elliott, of Washington,
confined himself to expediency of the system
being enthroned on American soil, lie be
lieved its establishment would be a retrograde
move, and that independent American lay
men would not be governed by it. J. M.
Woolwortb, chancellor of Omaha, considered
the cathedral important as filling a want not
supplied by the parish. Rev. Arthur Brooks,
of New York, opposed the system as ua-
American. Others spoke briefly on both sides
of the queetion.

New Yens, October t.—Commissioners on
.South American commerce called on General
Grant at his resldeftoe this morning, and lls-
tened tohis views on the subject. Tho ox*
president gave the «^i*y of tho commercial
treaty now existing between the United-States
and Mexico, which was negotiated by hiquelj
and Senor Romero, the Mexican minister at'
Washington. He thought as soon as our con*
gress pnssed the necessary legislation to c$tty
this treaty iuto effect, frnde 'be
tween tlio United State* j and
ioo would bo l«r*ttjr, tncrapni,
inasmuch ns tho tariff of MeXjifo E*4-
practically prohibitory. Daring his'seram
visits to Mexico General Grant said, ho found
considerable prejudice againU tho United
Ktntcs, which grow out of the lV.ar that this
government was seeking to acquire'possession
of Mexican territory. This fooling had' booh
fi ltered by merchants and othora whose object
whs to keep oatthe thule ef this.country and
thereby provent competition. The estabUdh-
nirnt of railway communication has had tho
i fleet of bringing about intercoursa between tho
juople of this country and Mexico, hits awak-
i nod-friendly feeling end destroyed prejudice.
This feeling woulainnreaso 1 as they beoamo
better acquainted and would natutally further
triide bctwcon the nations. He said he found
some feeling in Central America existing
against the British government. Instead ot
scattering consuls about thore should be ap
pointed to evory port eommeroial agont* who
should have tho privilege of engaging in busi
ness. They should be permitted to act as dram- „
mers (or manufacturers of the United Stare*. ;
They should have samples sent them and bo
) .commission to merchant* af
they lire located. Oomfnerelal
perform all duties now as-
Mgncd lo consuls, and rccoive fees therefor,
besides being allowed to engage in business as
ordinary merchants. Another method equally
necessary in securing trado would bo to fur«&
nish means of roramunieatiou and transpor
tation hr steamship lines. These should
be subsidized by the government until 4 cqnt-
mcreo has been established to enable them-tp
> obtain themselves. It. was absurd expect
the establishment of trade botween uuuotrie*
which had no direct communication end
equally absurd to expect capitalists to invost
in steamship lines with simply a prospect of

Consequently such linos should be granted;

tho opinion of the court below in favor of the

relating to tho military academy, and said that
in view of these plain and express provision)
we ere at a loss to understand why a cadet at
a military academy is not in service in
tlio army. The fact that ho is
purruing thcro studies and joining
through a discipline .which ore to fit him for
higher duty ond perhaps greater achievement#
in military life does not, ni my opinion, at all
ofl'cct or even touch the status given him iu
unmistakable words, l>y tho laws under which
both the academy anil tho army oxiit. No
private aoidler in tlio army is more in the
service than a cadet at West Point. If tho
decision of the court of claim* is sustain© J it
will add four years to tho period of service of
ell West Point graduates in tho computation
of theirlongevlty pay.
