SENATOR LOGAN, FOURTH WARD REPUBLICAN MASS-MEETING. ‘The Hon. John A. Logan addressed the Fourth Ward Republican Ciub at thelr wigwam, corner of Thirty-third street and South Park avenue, last evening. Every seat was occupied and a great many people were obliged to stand up. President Couk occupied the chair and intro- duced the speaker, who was greeted with cheers. ‘The Senator began by referring to the two theories of government; one that this wasa Nation, as held by the Bepublicans, and tho vtner that tt was & mere compact of the States as hel by the Democrats.. The latrer claimed that a State had a right in itself to Judge of in- fractions of its rights—not only that, but to judge of the mode and measure of the redress it ahould adopt. This theory orig- inated in tre South and was forced upon the Democracy of the North, who had ever since upbeld it. But many Demo- crate did not agree with this theory, believing Webster's idea,—that this was a Nation, and thet the Constitution and lawa and treaties made in pursuance thereof were the supreme law of the land, anything in the Constitutions and laws of the States to the contrary notwith- atanding. [Applause.] “ Having adopted this theory, the Democratic party became aggressive, declaring that Congress had no puwer over the Territories; that slavery was. the cornerstone of civilization; that it was universal and freedom the exception; that it went by force of the Constitution into the Territories; and that Congreas had no power to ex- clude © it, that power existing only in the State, when a Territory became a State, ‘Lhe Democratic party became absolutely a State-soyereignty party. According to, it the General Government was a mere agent to do tho will of the States. In 1860 Mr. Lincoln [applause] was placed be- fore the country on the theory that the Territo- ties were not reserved for slavery. but for free- dom,—that freedom was universal and slavery the exception; that this was a Nation, the Gov- ernmect huving power within itself to protect: tet ie iepuyter den rebetiaty cbstrnction, of 115 laws, and against slavery if necessity re- wired its action. Mr. Lincoln was- elected. is election was declared by the Demo- cratic ia =the South tw be a menace to the Southern people; in other words, that their rights were invaded by the vhoice ot the people made in accordance with law. Without reason for sach action, eleven Southern States declared that they would not submit to the decision of the majority. This declaration was in accord with the Democratic latform; and James Buchaaan, the Democratic resident, in @ message to Congress, declared that ia HE OOULD FIND NO POWER Inthe Constitution of the United States that authorized the National Government to coerce wState, Those eleven States made war agulust the Government se they had failed to con- trol its atfeirs as they bad for forty years before. When the War came another theory urose—that this Government of the people ‘had power to protect itself, to preserve the union of tha States. Senator Trumbull bad said that the Democracy helped put down the Rebell- jon. The speaker dened it, There was a way to have stopped the War. If the Democratic Laue bad assembled in meetings all over the Nortband decisred that the Union should be prescrved, even if it took the last dollar and the dust man, there would have been no War, [Ap- ‘Pinusel ‘The War continued four years simply vocause thero was sympathy in the Northern States for the Rel pathy 80 Strung ws LO encourage tbe Rebels to believe that the Demo- cratic party inthe North would force the Re- poblicas. Party to stop the War and let them go in peace. When he said that the Hepublican party was entitled to the credit of putting down tho Rebellion be pointed to the legisintion. Not one jaw passed by Congress for raisfng money, Togaiuinz credit, or, putting down the Hebellion War cost $6,000,000,000. Over 34,000,000,000 of th debt had been paid. We still owed nearly $2,000,- 000,000, If the Democratic party had done as he had just suggested, its orators would not be go- inground the. country to-day denouncing the Republican party 3n account of expenditures of ublic money and of the indebtedness. The Democratic party was responsible for both. He asked whether the Democratic party, stil holding the doctrine of State-sovereignty, was not Hable todo as it had done before. It was said, however. that there was no slavery now. He asserted that slavery had nothing to do with it. Tho contlict of jurisdiction ig South Caro- Mina, when John G Calhoun was made the first President of the Southern Confederacy, did not grow out of slavery, but out of the tariff. But the other Southern States did not join South Carolina, and she was made to obey the law. if there was a conflict of jurisdiction between a Stste and the National Government, the Stute holding that it was right and the Goyernment ‘was wrong, and that it could not submit to the Government, the same principle that pro- voked the recent Rebellion would lead to xn- other war against the Government. But Judge Trumbull said the Democratic party was not the same party it used to be; that it was notin favor of secession now. The Democratic party never aid that it WAS IN FAVOR OF SECESSION atany time. It onty indorsed the principle that allowed a State to seocde, and when the time came they seceded; and the speaker had never seen but one Rebel Democrat who did not say they had the right tosecede. The Senator quoted from the Cincinnat! platform to snow that the Democratic party hud not changed, they therein pledzing themselves anew * to the constitutional doctrines and traditions ot the Democratic party as illustrated by # long line of Democratic statesmen.” To what constitutional doctrines, the speaker: asked. Judge Trumbull said that secession was unconstitutiogal, and therefore that was not a constitutional doctrine. The ker had not believed that any man who had ‘2 On tne Supreme bench of Ulinois and u United States Seoutor would play the demagog. The Democrats believed that mg sion Was consututional. Buchanan and bis Cub- inet said-s0, as did the lead! Democrats of that day, and the old leaders who aro alive are still running the Democratic party. If they didn't believe Secession was constitutional in 1860, way did the Southern wing of the purty act on that theory? Having ax on it once, why might they not doit again? By traditions, Judge ‘Trumbull said, they meant a return vo the old time-honored pripcipies of the Democracy,—the days of honesty and economy. It was not neccs- sary to go back further than Martin Van Buren's Administration, From that down to and includ- ing Buchanan's every Democratic administra- tion reeked with corruption. Those were times of plunder and robbery, as every reader of his- * tory knew. : Not only must we have a correct theory in ref- erence to Government oy which ite tma- chinery may move harmoniously so that there could be no such friction as brougnt about secession, but much else wasneededin a Nation. Credit was a requisit. Was good faith shown by the Democratic party with reference to thaty The credit of a Nation is part of its life- Divod. What was our credit under Democratic rule? In 1861 Buchansn’s Administration issued demand notes on the Treasury bear § and even 10 per-cent interest without a dollar in the ‘Treasury to mect them. The debt wasincreased from ten to fifty-nine miilions; Government bonds sold for 89 cents, and the Government could not borrow $25,000,000 at that rate. Our credit was so low that even Spain laughed at us. ‘There was in circulation at that time $77,000,000, of which $212,000.00 were in currency, -part of it good. and part of it not so good. There wero $275,001.00 in coin. Take the credit ot the Nu~ tion to-day, the condition of the circulating niedium, the honesty of the Republican Ad- ministration, and compare these things with the Democratic Administrations. ‘THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION bad been criticised in some respects, but for honesty and honor there hud uever been an Ad~ nifnistration like it_since the Government be~ fr LApplause.} Scatcely a dollar of revenue ad been lost in four years. e losses had growa Jess ever since Lincoln became President.

There bad been panics under Democratic administrations, and the gov- ernment became bankrupt. There wus no panic now. By wise lexislation of the Hepubli- can party the country was prosperous. He referred at some length to the National banking system. which the Democratic party oppused, comparing it with the old State bani system. under whica the losses were enormous— miltions every year. The total foss under. the present system since its iaception was only $8,000,000. Under the Scotch system, by the fall- ure of one bank, the loss was $25,000,000. The system had shown itself tobe a good one,—the ° HE ‘CHICAGO: TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER : 3, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES best ever devised by man. ever credit there was for it was due the Nean party. e Republican party had‘ not changed its doctrines or its theories, It stood to-day where ithad ever stood,—the representative pream!- nently of Hberty; for economy and honesty; for the payment of ttsdebta. ‘It was approsed to repudiation either by the Nation or the States; was in favor of an Bonest performance of all contracts. It bad amended the Constitution so Bs to ae it p Canenraron of liberty and not a onstitution of oppression. Speaking of the Civil Rights bill the Senator said that Judge Trumbull, who was now abusing the Kepublicaus for attempting to enforce it, ouce had a quarrel with John M. Palmer as to who original it, Palmer, now a Democrat, claiming to have soggested it, and Trumbull showing that be had not. The Democracy found fault because sume laws were ‘ oppressive.’ Avy law that would stop murder, wrong, or crite against_men, white or black, was right. {Applause.] The State courts in the South a REECSE TO ENFORCE THESE LAWS, which were National. The Government should enforce them against every violator. Frank Pierce, a Democratic President, culled our. the navy at Boston, not to protect a man in his rights, but to chain him, and take him back to hia muster. It was right (1) to use the power of the Government to enslave a poor colored man; but when be was as free as his master, ans asked the Government to protect him bim in bis right to cast his ballot, the Government had no wer to do it. -That was the kind of emocracy ‘Trumbull was now engaged in defending as the “old-time ‘honest | Democracy." In_ the days of Buchanan, teo, cunnon were trained on Court-Houses in Kansas to protect men voting for slavery; sol- diers were murshaled in the streets to enforce a pro-slavery Constitution. It was-the Lecump- ton constitution that made the speaker a Re- publican. This Government ‘could protect a man xbroad. Why not at home? A Govern- ment that failed todo it wasunworthy the namo. Adverting to the charge of fruuds, he showed that 7,708 Democrats had heen -arrested in the South in the last four years for robbing the Governinent. And “they had murdered twenty-one revenue officials and wounded fifty-five others: and not one of them was indicted in a State court. ‘The people ‘in the Southern States did not obey the laws, would not obey them, did not intend to do so; did not intend to pay thelr taxes or:.bear their sharg of the burden of the Government. And Judge ‘Trambull knew this. Heexamined Hancock's lest letter, saying it amounted to nothing,—that there: were a dozen ways to pay the Rebel claims. The Four- teenth Amendment did not prevent it. Tho Court of Claims considered onfy the claims of. “ loyal citizens.” Why, a bill was no’ Pending in Congress to strike out “loyal.” Were it adopted, every claim would be payable. The Court of Claims could be reorganized and given Jurisdiction in “ certain cases.” PAYMENT FOR SLAVES t could be secured by reorganizing the Supreme Court and putting in Democrats, who would bold that the action of the Legisiatu: in ratifying the constitutional amendments Was void, and that slavery not being abolished, the Govern- ment was responsiple for the value of the slaves. He didn't say this to scare the people. but because he belfeved it would be done if the Democrats got control of the Government. Leading Democrats admitted it. Tn conclusion the Senator spoke uf the candi- dates of the two partics and compared them, urging his bearers to let the Government re- main in the hands of its friends. [Applause.] “The Joint Committee of the two Clubs (Young Men's aud Regular) thon submitted the follow- tug list of delegates to be yoted for at the pri- maries Monday, recommending that they [Applause.} What~ User 3 pepube be instructed | for Frank Drake for Sherif! and Maj.

Richard Daly, an ex-Stationkeeper on the po- lice force, was arraigned before’ Justice Inger- soll upon a charge of interfering with a police officer, ana of disorderly conduct. The arrest was made Friday night by Sorgt. Watson, of the Hinman Street Station, who, claims to have caught Daly in the awful act of eavesdropping while he was talking to one of the men on post. Daly bas long been supposed to be 2 “spotter” on the police, and when he was taken to the sta- tion his pockets were Illegally searched, and copies were even: made of entries in a book. used by him in his employment as Q spy on members of the Police Department. As nay be imagined, the arrest has created considerable stir in the Department, and the police officials and Mayor Harrison are roundly censured for stooping to such means to.ascertain the tlerelictions uf the wen. Daly isof course, censured also, but a calm and un- Prejudiced fudgment would censure not Duly, who bus been compelled to go fnto this business, in orderto make bis way back onto the police force, but the officials who buye employed bim todo their dirty work. There are derelictions enough among the privates on the police force, that everybody knows, but the discontent 18 increased by the discovery of such spies as Daly, Etforts will of course be made to throw the en- tire blame upon Daly, but they should not be permitted to succeed.

M. C. Wilkinson, U.S.A. A large crowd assembled there to meet him. Being introduced, the President made short speech, stating that the special object of his visit there was to seo the working of the school. In the course of his remarks the President said: “*[ think. it is the wish and prayer’ of every good citi- zen these Indian boys and girls should be- come wise, useful, and: good citizens. Some people to think that God has decreed . that the Indians should die off like wild animals. With this we have nothing to do. If. they are to be- come extinct we ought to leave that to Pravi- dence, and we, as guod,- patrivtic, Christian people, should do our best to improve their hysical, mental, atid moral condition. Cries of Amen! Amen!) We should prepare them to become part of the at American’ family. If it turns. out dat their destiny is to be different, we shall at least have done our duty. ‘This country was once theirs. They owned itas much ag you own your farms. We have dis- placed them, and are now completing that work. Lam glad that Oregon has takena stepin the right direction.

A Dangerous Gang Placed Where They'll Do the Most Good. Chicago bankers and business men who suf- fered at the hands of the accomplished forger Brockway will be pleased to know that at last a case bas been made out against him upon which conviction was possible, and that one of the’ greatest rogues of modern times bes met his just deserts. The fact of his arrest several months ago at Providence, R. L, charged with forging 2 check upon the Fourth National Bank of thatoity, has: already been chronicled, and the fact’ that be wus safe behind the bars of the | Providence Jail bas been a constant source of congratulation in circles where his nefarious crimes were *naturaliy feared. Since his incarceration at Providence, Brockway, who bears the reputation of being what in po- lice circles is termed a “slick oue,” has tried in every possible way to secure his release, but to no purpose. Last Friday morning he was brought to trial, accompanied by his “ pal, Joseph Cook, who attempted to pass the check upon the Cashier of the bavk at the instigation ot Brockway, The Providence papers gave full particulars of the trial, bas baie ys attempt to procure a postponement of sen! 5 Wien irralered before the Court the accom- pissed imitator of other people’s signatures asked for and was granted permission to address the Court in his own behalf.

He had important affairs to arrange, his babe was iyjug unburied in the tomb, bis wife was young und inexperienced. He was without money or friends, and the great criminal, at last driven to the wail. piteously begged the Court to krant bim further time. His counsel also made an earnest appeal to the game effect, but _ .JUDGE BURGESS REFUSED to accede to the request, reminding both coun- sel and the prisoner that they hud already had plenty of. tine to get their witnesses and make a satisfactory defense. Brockway, facing the positive certainty of conviction, lost all that self-possession and dignity which has always marked bis appearance under adverse circumstances, and seetued utterly broken both inimind and spirit. He stepped forward, and was about to plead guilty, wnen bis counsel stopped him. Aftera whispered conversation Bockway stated to the Court that be had no de- fense to make, or in legal parlance entered a plea of nolo-cuntendere. * The case of Cook wusthen called, and the “pal” was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. He was’ first cuntrouted ‘by Charles F. Ulrich, who is one of the most accomplished engravers in America, and a mun who in former years en- joyed the unenvinble reputation of being also the most accomplished und dangerous counter- feiter in the country. Of lute years he has for a consideration reformea, and is now employed in the Secret Service Department, where his assistance is often re- juired in ferreting out the forgers and counter- eiters, of whose methods he has a thorough knowledge. Ulrich testified to bis acquaintance with Brook- way, which bad extended over a period of Hfteen years; of his application to him (Ulrich) in August, 1879, at which time Brocxway endeav- Gred to get him to engrave checks on the Fourth National and Old Colony Banks of Providence. ‘Witness identitied several checks uffered in evidence asthe same which the prisoner had shown him. Brockway, believing Ulrich could be trusted, exptained his whole method of proce- dure in PERPETRATING THE FORGERIES which have mude him notorious throughout the country, and promised to give the witness $10 per plate ana 10 per cent of his ill-gotten gains if he would “stand in” with him. Ulrich, as soun as Brockway had given him his confidence, and ‘as he thought secured his active codpera- ton, notified his counsel, Mr. Jobnson. of Provi- dence, and the Pinkerton Agency in New York, of Brockway's movements, byt continued to negotiate with him. The oificers, being notified, ‘watched Brockway, closely, und saw bim going in and outof Dirich’s shop Preparing his scheme to rob the Providence banks. e witness testi- fied that Brockway practiced an entire day in his shop imitating the signatures of Mr. H. C. Cranston and Chace, Watson and Butts, prominent merchants of Providence. Ulrich also swore that he mado the plates as re- quested, struck off the blank checks, and gare seventy or eighty of them to the prisoner. Ulrich’s testimony as to Broukway’s visits to his shops was corroborated by that of Peter Bauer, a printer in _bisemploy. The rest of the story i8 soon told. Having Proved the fact that | the “plates were mudo at Brookway'’s request, and the notes delivered to him, aud ‘the identity of the checks presented at the bank having been established, ft only remained to prove Cook's identity us the man who presented them to the Cashier. Ths fact was firmly estab- | lished by the testimuny of William ©. { Smith, Cashier of the Fourth National Bank, and David B. Hall, Cashier of the Narra~ gunsett Hotel, who directed Cook where to find the bank, In hia attempt to swindle the Providence banks, Brockway secured.tha services of Will- jam cee allas Odell, who will be remembered as the fellow who was arrested while attempt- | ing to get the money ona forged check drawn on_the Merchants’ National Bank of this city, and George Havell, a no.orious CHICAGO SNEAK-THIEF and burglar, whom Brockway fret met while the precarious pair were contined fin the Cook Coun~ ty Jail. Brockway was thea awaiting trial for bis long list of forgeries commit~ ted upon ie Chicago bunks,’ and Haveli was locked up upon acharge of burglary. Tho arrest of Brockway was followed by that of Odell and Havel, and a dispateh received yesterday at Pinkerton’s headquarters in this i} city states that, after a trial continuing two Gays, the trio of forgers were found guilty and. sentenced to the Khode Island Penitentary; where Brockway will sojourn eight ye irs, Orie. alias Odell, three years, and Havell four years. Atcould pot be uscertuined Inst night whether the mun tried under the name of Joscph Smith’ was the slippery Odell or the odarifcrous Havell, but the probability is that Huyell is the man. ‘Thus culminates for a time nt loast the career of a man whose transcendent ability in bis peculiar line of crime bas not been equaled since the days of Col. Cross, the great Philn- detphia forger, who was arrested and convioted after great trouble and exponse by the com- bined action of Philadeiphia bankers who had Jong been cruelly victimized by bir. Cross hier tried, pone gulty, and pentane to im- prisonment fora term of years. After serving about one year of his sentence be forged him: self out of prison on 2 pardon to, which he him- self had attached the signature of the Gay- ernor of Pennsyivania. He then came West, attempted to practice his “profession” upon the Chicago bankers, but was caught in the act of passing a fee. check on the Second Na- Uonal Bank in 1869. For this he was convicted and sent to Joliet for seven years. Great credit is due the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which for the peat, two or three veara bas devoted much of its energy and all of its talent in keoping track of Brockway and his aids in their nefarious crimes. “Tbe eye that never sleeps” {s bound in the long run to catch the most expert forger or thief * dendto rights,” as the detectives term It, and, when they do, no public parade is made of the means throuch Folch if ls Bone ia this tie Fintcerthns differ rom ali other detective agen ublic o1 i- vate, in this country. eal . ep t Dted WASHINGTON. 4 Touching Sceno In Court—Telephonic Competition—Increase in Postal Busl- ness, .
