SIXTY THOUSAND~SIZE OF THE REPUB- LICSN GATHERING AT WARREN UNDEB- ESTIMATED. Special to Cincinnati Commercial, Wanuex, 0., Sept. 30.—Much indignation is felt by cltizens of Warren, without re- itd to party, ‘that the bie meeting should 8o belittled by the daily newspapers. The newspapers are not to blame for this. No. arrangements were made by the Committee for the accommodation of many newspaper men present. A 10- year-old School-boy would have made better arrangements. The correspondents were strangers in the city, had no idea of the dif. ferent places at which the crowds were gath- ered, and spent most of their time before the wiewam meeting in getting their tickets of admission, Many weeklies were represented to the exclusion of representatives of dailies. By careful measurement of the ground by impartial judges, it is said by men of bot! parties that nat less than 60,000 were present. {any competent and fair ju of Jarge crowds say it was still larger. F . ILLINOIS. GEN. STEWART L. WOODFORD AT SPRING- FIELD. : Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Sprincrrexp, UL, Oct. 2.—Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, of New York, received a genuine ovation this evening at the hands of the Re- publicans of Springfield and Sangamon County. The mere announcement that he was to speak attracted one of the largest and Gnest audiences gathered at a political meet- ing in this city for many years. Upwards of five thousand people, a large proportion of whom were . ladies, succeeded in crowding themselves into Representative Hall at the new State-House.. Hundreds more filled the ldbbies and hall outside, while hundreds were unable to gain ad- mittance. Previous to the meeting there was an imposing demonstration in the shape of atorchlight procession, over 1,000 torch-bearers bemg in line, with several bands and appropriate ‘banners. Visiting clubs in uniforms were present from Will- Jamsville, Mechanicsburg, Chatham, Virden, Auburm, Carlinville, Curran, Buffalo, Heart Grove, Ashland, Pleasant Plains, Taylor- ville, Rochester,—the latter being mounted. These, with the city club, made A SPLENDID DISPLAY The procession paraded the principal streets and then escorted the disthnguis ed, speaker of the evening ‘to the State-House. ‘The streets along the line of march were thronged, the people tu: out .almost en masse to witness the most successful dem- onstration of the kind seen here for many years. The Hon. J. C. Conkling preside and, after the usual musical preliminaries, introduced Gen. Woodford, who spoke for an hour and a half. He was enthusiastically xecvived, and could not have had a more thorougilly anpreclalive audience: It was a magnificent address, and has done the cause in this locality $ A GREAT AMOUNT OF GOOD. When he concluded, three rousing cheers were given for Gen, ‘Woodford, three more for Garfield and Arthur, and three more for Gov. Culiom. The vast- audieuce was_un- willing to disperse, and called on the Hon. Lawrence Weldon, of Bloomiseton,. who spoke very briefly. Thera were loud calls for Gov. Cullom, who was out of the city, After several songs by the Glec Club the auai- ence joined with a will ‘in singing “Jolin Brown,” and finally dispersed with another series of ringing and hearty cheers for the speaker and the candidates. WEAVER. POLITICAL ADVENTURERS BUSY NAME. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yon, Oct. 2.—The improbable story published in some of the Democratic papers of the country this morning signed by Dyer D. Lum, of Washington, D.C., to the effect that Mr. Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President of the United States, is in the employ of the National Republican .Com- anitiee, and that he is paid by. that organiza- tion, was pronounced as absurd and ridicu- lous by Marsbal Jewell to-day. Healso.stated that he knew no more about the matter than tne people did. who ‘waded through pti] it. He pronounced. the story wholly without foundation. Mr. George 0. Jones, the mentioned .as. one _of prominent conspirators, said he had not read the letwr of Lum as printed, but had. read the effusion in a circular before it was sent to the press. Mr. Jones states that at Time it was intimated to hii that for a con- sideration its publication might be stopped. He thus regarded the whole scheme asa blackmailing job. and refused to have any- thing to do with it. Hecharacterized Luin as a drunken little loafer, who has been try- ing to make a good bank account in politics by dishonest practices and the abuse of the confidence of his friends. LUM IS TURNED OVER. Spectal Dispatch to ‘The Chicago Tribune. * Wasuinaron, D: C., Oct..2.—The Demo- crats haye published extensively in New York to-day, and have caused. to be circulat- ed by the thousand in Ohio and Indiana, a Jetter of one Luin, who claims to have been Assistant Secretary of the National Green- back organization, and boasts that he has be- trayed some of the secrets of his employers. Mr. Warwick Martin, a noted writer on finance of the Greenback school, and an act- ive member of the Greenback National Com- anittee, bas furnished to the press te-night. the following open letter, giving his views of Mr. Lum and his operations in the interests of the Democracy: 5. Bloro than one month ago I pronounced Mr. Lum, in bis presence, a traitor to the National Greenback purty, of which I am a member. and to the principles of which { am devotedly at- tached. “He was by accident made the Assistant -xecutive Committee, and hike @ Scoundrel be used. his- position to injure instead of to benefit the party. This I discovered, and ex; He would have been re- moved if he had not abanduned the party to aye his own disgrace before tho order of his removal arrived. His letter addressed to Mr. Mureb, but given by him to the press, is2 traud upon its face. It is written upon 4 letter sheet of the heudquarters of thy Nation- al Committee as though writen in. Wasbingtop. Mr. Lum was not bere on the 2¥th of September. He was then in New York arranging with the Democrats to gell outy before the order for his diswissal could arrive. Ho had for the purpose of deceiving the public taken with him one of the letter sneets of the Committee, or perhaps many of them, and he has written his lettcr thereon. His ' letter contains several false- hoods, “which I: kaow “to ‘be such. I heard the codversation between him and Mr. Weaver, which ho attempts to report, and know dhis statements are false. Mr. Lum is'a. mun in ‘search of money, and wholly void uf principle. ‘He should have informed the Democrats that he bus spent most of his tine for the last two months in writing up and preparing tor publica- tion the history, as he called it, of the murder of Sirs. Surratt by Gen, Hancock. He informed me that he had visited and interviewed the Sur- yuit family in Baltimore and coli from them the fucts of the case. He read his history to me, and stated its contents to at least three other’ parties in Washington, whose names 1 can give. This history charged upon ‘Gen. Hancock the greatest cruelty of which any -one could be guilty. Mr. Lum stated that he in- tended it for publication in the Irish World Just before the election 604s to prevent the Irish Catholics from voting for Hancock. He made the same statement to others. He went to New York to arrange with the Irish World for the curtooning and publishing of this at- tock vpon Gen. Hancock, but tho Irish World refused “ to * publish it. 4 am informed that upon this refusal he of- fered the history to the itepublicans us a good Htepublican ducument, but they refused to pur- chaze it, He then went to the Democrats. Whether they paid him anything not w pub- ish the history 1am unable to say. Mr. Lum does not work for nothing. He bas no doubt ‘vecn paid. His statements about Gen. Weaver are false, and he knuws it, He is aware that Gen. Weaver never had any confidence in him. The party and the Committee are happily freed from & great iucumbrance by the departure of Mr. Lum. He bas saved them the task of ex- cluding him from the position which be has dis- graced. Warwick Maurin, VIRGINIA, THE REPUBLICANS DOING GOOD WORK. Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. a Special > Wasmweroy, D. C.,Oct. 2—The new de- parture of the Republicans in Virginia has materially. changed thé aspects of the ‘can- vass there, and has given both factions of the Demucracy to undersiand that the Repub- licans,-contrary to expectation, are making a very careful, earnest, quiet canvass in the Old Dominion, with the hope of securing some Electoral votes as a result of the bitter | war between the Funders aud. the Read- justers, and with the strongest probability-of carrying two, if not three Congressional dis- tricts. The Malone people have been somé- what arrogant, confidently relying upon the support of a Jarge portion of the unqualited Beoublican yote, but the Republican man- agers, after careful consideration, have de- cided that in view of the bitter fend between the Democratic factions. there is a strong fighting chance uf carrying Virginia for the Garfield and Arthur Electoral ticket, and a. certainty of gaining some Congres- tional districts; and it is in view of that fact that the circular dated Beye a, to the Repub- licans of Virginia, has been issued on au- thority of the National Republican Commit- tee and of the Republican Executive Com- mittee of Virginia, Gen. Wickham, Chair- man of the Republican Executive Committee, is known to be at heart a Funder, and is doubtless hostile to Mahone. The Republic- an Committee evidently intends to contribute some money to the necessary expenses of the campaign in Virginia, and the Democratsare somewhat dazed by this new departure. PENNSYLVANIA. .

The National Academy exhibits every year 600 or 700 new American pictures, and the Water-Color Society 500 or 600 more. In fact, there are not so many good pictures painted. Our Exposition usualy roportion of the bestof these works, and exhibits this year bist 200 ‘or 250 American pictures in all, drawing fur the rest upoo forelgn pictures in private galleries.
