IN THE BUCKEYE STATE Gold Democrats Prove to Be Much More Numerous Than Was Expected, Hoth Party Committees Are Putting Forth Tremendous Efforts as to Meetings and Speakers. Conesperdence of The Evening Star. CINCINNATI, October 13, -1896. Before the gold wing of the democratic party filed with the secretary of state its list of sixteen thousand signatures as a guarantee that it was of sufficient import- ance to deserve a place on the official bal- lot the silver wing made merry and scoffed at its former friends. The Bryanites said the Palmerites could not find five thou- sand men in the state who would sign their names to theiz petition. Since the petition was filed they have changed their attitude, and it is evident the Bryanites realize that the Palmerites are more numerous than they thought. They at first charged that the signatures were fraudulently obtained and that in some precincts half of them were republicans. These charges were all disproven. : They have now taken a different tack. ‘Ihey last week filed with the secretary of state a complaint against the name “Na- tional Democratic,” assumed by the Palm- erites, and they asked to haveit ruled off the official ballot on the ground that it was so similar to the old party organization as to tend to confuse voters. They probubly took their cue from the action of the In- diana state board, which has required a change of name. To the secretary they charged that the name “National Demo- cratic” was adopted for the sole purpose of misleading voters. The gold men cited for a precedent the action of the board of elections of Cincinnati in 1891, when the name “Veteran Republican” was permitted to be used by a belting republican faction. ‘The secretary has taken the question under consideration in connection with the at- torney general. Other Troubles. While the Bryanites were protesting against the use of the name “National Democratic,” the points against the fusion ticket, as stated in a former letter, were seriously urged. Before the secretary an- nounced any decision, Mr. Hugh Cavanaugh of this city, who had presided at the popu- list state convention, went to Columbus and made a formal applfeation for the with- drawal of the electoral ticket filed by him, his aim being ta remove the-embartassment caused the fusion ticket by the decision of hte secretary of-etate that no man could Pave his name twice on the official ballot. Now to this motion P. J. Fishback, who is one of the leaders of the middle-of-the-road populists, has objected, his reason being that under the law of the state the popu- list is as much a recognized party as the democratic, and that the mere chairman of @ state convention may not, on his own mo- tion, withdraw the nominations of that con- vention from the official ballot. The belief is that the proper termination of this con- troversy, under the law, is to split the fusion ticket and print the names of the democratic and the populist electors under the name of their respective parties. Committee Work. No state committee of any party in Ohio ever labored as earnestly “to secure a great victory as the present republican committee is doing. It has within the past week arranged for 200 more meetings, making cver 1,200 for the campaign. The commit- tee expects to bring the number up to 1,500 before the close of the campaign. There is not an election precinct in the state that will not have been. reached by ers, as where {t has been fcund impossible to ac- commodate small adjacent precincts meet- ings have been arranged near the lines so as to accommodate two at once. The democratic committee is also indus- trious in the same way, but has not been able to arrange so many meetings. The Bryanites are short of speakers, the bright- est of the old-time democratic orators being this year with the goldites. They are work- ing more with Uterature, but in this also are outdone by the republicans, who have already sent out 12,000,000 pieces. All this shows the intense popular interest in the is- sues of the present campaign, not simply In the money question, but also in the tariff, the state committee having been nota lit- ue pleased with numerous requests from rural communities for lght on the’ tariff, and especially the reciprocity feature. Registration. Another thing showing the popular inter- est In the campaign and the determination of the electors to give expression to their views is the way in which they have rushed to the registration books. The first. day the registration was nearly 10,000 in excess of the figure reached on the first day of any previous year. There can be no doubt that the result of the ballot to be taken next month in this state will fully represent the majority sentiment of all the eléctors. Even the women have caught the fever, and are registering this fall, so as to be ready to vote next spring in the municipal election, that being. the first election in which they are to take part in the choice of school officers. =" After Cox. George B. Cox, the republican leader of this county, somé'days ago Announced his readiness to wager about $5,000 on McKin- ley’s election, grading his different bets ac- cording te his different estimates of odds. His wagers find no takers, although one of them is on 20,000 for McKinley in this county, more than twice what it has ever given any republican candidate for Presi- dent. The only answer the democrats have chosen to give is to say that Cox has vio- lated a state law in posting the bets, and one of their organs here quotes this section of the statute against him: Section 6939 of the Revised Statutes of Ohio says that whoever makes any bet or wager on the result of any election in Ohio for any public office, whether national or local, “shall be fined not more than $500 nor less than $5, or imprisoned not less than ten days nor more than six months; and when the amount put at hazard is be- tween said sums, the fine shall equal the amount so hazarded.” But there has been nothing beyond a threat to prosecute hiiti. ———— FROM UPPER MARLBORO’. Full Return of the Registration in Prince George’s—Court Cases. Correspondence of The Zvening Star, UPPER MARLBORO’, Md., Oct. 14, 1896. In the circuit court, in session here today, with all the judges present, several cases of larceny were disposed of. The first case was that of Henry Siddons, the young etghteen-year-old white boy, who was in- dicted on the charge of stealing jewelry to the amount of $150. He plead guilty to the indictment. Owing. to there being exten- uating circumstances in his favor, the ccurt sentenced him to the Maryland house of correction for only eighteen months. Charles Johnson, colored, plead guilty to the charge of having stolen two pairs of shoes, valued at $6. The officer who ar- rested him, testified that he attempted to cut him, and that he had to call assistance in making the arrest. The judge gave him two years and six months in the Maryland penitentiary. a Edward Minor, colored, was acquitted on an indictment for the larceny of some har- ness. The jury was only out a short time. Other cases have been disposed of as fol- lows: State against Mary A. Day; tried be- fore a jury and found to be a lunatic and a pauper. The court ordered her to be con- fined In the Spring Grove Asylum. State against William Bradley, colored: indicted for receiving ‘stolen goods; tried before a jury and acquitted. State against James Ennis, colored; in- dicted for larceny; tried before the court, found guilty and sent to the penitentiary for two years. : On motion of Geo. C. Merrick, Harvey T. Winfield of Washingten, D. C., was ad- mitted to practice at this court. Mr. J. L. D. Clagett was admitted as a member of the bar after passing the necessary exam- ination. The officers of registration for the four- teen election districts of Prince George's county returned their registration books to,| the election supervisors ‘h¢re today. The registration shows a decrease from last year, 1895, of 449 votes—358 white voters less and 91 colored. The books show 1,600 more white voters than colored for the county. The registraticn for this year was 3,952 white and 2,343 colored, making a total for the county of 6,206. The following is the registered vote by districts: White.

Your scheme would bring you twice as much for your oats and bring me only half as much for my work. -Is:this fair, do you think?” Botes—“Well, every man has to lcok out for himself.” Hired Man—“So I see, and I think I'll look out for myself and vote for an honest dollar for an honest day’s work.” Bryan is Practically Sure of the Vote of the State. BOT REPUBLICANS ARE VERY ACTIVE Interesting Complications in the Congressional Districts. THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATS a gt Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., October 13, 1896. After all it looks Ike the strongest fight that the regular democracy will have to make in this state will be for Congress- men. If general conditions continue as they now are, so far as the electoral ticket is concerned, there is little doubt but that Bryan and Sewall will carry the state. This fact is generally recognized by those who are opposing that ticket, but wito are still hoping that something will happen which will in some way combine a sufficient num- ber of the opposition to defeat the Chicago neminees. The middle-of-the-road element of the populist party have not taken dowr. their Bryan ‘an@~ Watson ticket because Capt. R. F. Kolb and his ir-mediate fol- lowers have deserted it, nor ..ive they as yet shown any signs of giving aid to the republicans directly. The national demo- crats are still making their fight and will undoubtedly continue their electoral ticket in the field to the end. The republicans are to all appearances in the fight to the finish with their electoral ticket, and are prosecuting a2 much more vigorcus cam- paign, so far as the presidential race is concerned, than either the national demo- crats or the populists. if this program is strictly adhered to, as stated above, Bryan end Sewall will be comparatively easy winners. But will it go on until election day as it is now? Thai is the question politicians are asking. If the warfare between those populists of the Kolb stripe, who have deserted Watson, and the middle-of-the-rcad element grows much warmer it would be no surprise to see the latter throw their strength to McKin- ley, where their natural alliance in this state has been for the past four years. li is pointed out, too, that if the silver demo- crats undertake to be too severe in their criticisms of national democrats, or to break up the Palmer and Buckner meetings to be held in this state in a few days, many of the national democrats may be driven to vote for McKinley. It is, therefore, ap- parent that the very best’ thing that the Bryan and Sewall campaign managers can do is just what their state campaign chair- man, Gen. Charles M. Shelley, counseled at the outset of the contest—to practice tol- eration and forvearance and reconciliation and noi indulge in vituperation and abus This they have done up to date, but it regarded as doubtful if the program which Gen. Shelley inaugurated, and which, it is said, he is having no little difficulty in making his forces maintain, will continue to the end. Hope of the National Democrats. « National democrats are very hopeful of electing four Congressmen from Alabama and are understood to be bending their en- ergies chiefly in that direction, rather than with a view of carrying the state's clec- toral vote for the Indianapolis nominees. The districts which they expect to capiure are the second, the third, the fourth and the ninth. They also regard that they have a good fighiting chance in the sixth, and a show in the eighth. In the second and third districts the republicans made no congre sional nominations, but indorsed the nom- inees of the national democrais—Thomas H. Clarke, in the second, and G. L. Comer, in the third district. In both of these dis- tricts the populists have out candidates, so that the silver vote will be divided. As the sound money sentiment is pretty strong in each, the gold men are very hopeful of the result. In the fourth district, H. A. Wilson, the regular republican nominee, last Sa day withdrew from the race on the advice of his committee in behalf of the candi- dacy of Edmond H. Dryer, the gold demo- crat. In this district William F. Aldrich, the present member, who was seated as the result of a contest with Gaston A. Robbins, democrat, is the nominee of the old anti- McKinley faction, who last spring bolted the regular republican conyention. Aldrich is a free silver man, and Ras thus secured the indorsement, or rather the nomination, of the populists. For that reason it is said that his support among republicans will not ve large. ‘As the result of the division of the @llver vote between Aldrich and Plowman, the silver democratic nominee, the gold demo- crats think their chances are excellent: for capturing the fourth district. In the ninth the republican nominee, Congressman Tru- man H. Aldrich, withdrew, it is understood, in interest of Dr. Archibald Lawson, the national democratic nominee. Dr. G. B. Crowe is the middie-of-the-road populist nominee and is one of the strongest popu- list leaders in the state. It is figured that he will poll a big vote, keeping many popu- lists who with any other man_ besides Crowe in the race might go to Underwood, the silver democratic nominee, from aiding in the election of the silver democrat. Dr. Lawson, it is believed, will have pretty nearly the solid republican white vote, as well as the bulk of the negro vote and all the strength of the national democrats, who are very strong in this district, because of Birmingham being located in it, this being a hot gold city. x Popularity of Mr. Bankhead. In the sixth district, while Vandegraff, the national democratic nominee, has the indorsement of the republicans, and the district is strongly for sound money, the chances for the success of the gold candi- date are not so good as they are in the four other districts reviewed above, chiefly because of the great personal popularity of Congressman John H. Bankhead, the silver democratic nominee. Capt. Bankhead is one of the few from the south who are will- ing to accord Mr. Cleveland honesty of pur- pose and the right to differ with other members of the party on the financial ques- tion. He has never indulged in abuse of sound money men, but has counseled mod- eration and reconciliation. He has ¢lso rendered valuable service in Congress for his constituency in the way of securing public buildings and river improvements. For these reasons Bankhead will be 2 hard man*to beat. The chances are in favor of his re-election, more because of efficient service than because of any question of the money Issue. - In the seventh district the chances seem ta favor the election of W. I. Bullock, the silver democrat. He is opposed by Con- gressman M. W. Howard, populist; George H. Parker, gold democrat, and J? J. Curtis, republican. As the district is both popu- listic and free silver, there is little prospect for either of the two last-named candidates winning. Two years ago Howard czrricd every county in the district, but at the state election the populists in August last showed heavy losses, though Goodwyn, the populist candidate for governor, still had a majority of all the votes cast in the dis- trict. Bullock, the silver democratic candi- date, is very popular, while Congressman Howard seems to have lost a very large share of his following. Gen. Wheeler's Chances, In the eighth district Dr. D. W. Day, the populist nominee, has just withdrawn from the race for Congress, which probably in- creases Congressman Joe Wheeler's chances for re-election as the regular democrat. In almost any other district in the state such n occurrence ag the withdrawal cf the ALABAMA CONDITIONS| popul:st candidate would contribute lergely to the success of the silver democratic can- didate, but in the eighth the bulk of the populists are old-time whigs.ani former re- publicans, and many of’them prefer to vote for a republican than asdemocrat, us a rule. However. as the sound-momay strength in this district. is divided Between W. W. Cal- lahan, gold democrat,.and @scar R. Hund- ley, vepublican, the. thances:favor the suc- cess of Wheeler, whoitgpersonally very popular in his district; whieh he has rep- resented for sixteen yéars, In the fifth dis- trict the fight is between two candidates, Congressman Albert T. Goodwyn, puptlist, and William Brewer, sfiver-democrat. The gold democrats named no candidate in this district,but it is understood that they will,as a rule, vote for Goodwyn, whe has always al- led hiniself with the refublicans, and whom they seem to think would not cast a vote in Congress detrimental to. that system of finance, which the repablican party might favor. Goodwyn has the ‘open indoreement of the republicans of his Mistrict, who con- stitute more than a mere handful. On the whole, it looks as if he 4s about the only pcpulist in the state who will probably win, though William F. Aldzich, free silver republican-populist in the fifth @ good show, but he is scarcely classed as an out-and-out populist. In the first dis- trict there is no doubt of the election cf George W. Taylor, the re; democratic nominee, a sound mony inan on « free sil- ver platform, because he has no oppesiticn but a negro republican, and besides, the district is overwhelmingly demccratic. Gold arialallverg demcerats alike will support im, Sum Total of the Chances. To sum up the congressional situation, it lcoks like the silver or regular democrats will certainly elect four Congressmen, viz.: Taylor in the first district, Bankhead in the sixth, Bullock in the seventh, and Wheeler in the eighth, with a good chance to elect Stallings in the #erond, Plowman in the fourth, Underwood in the ninth and Clayton in the third. The national demo- crats appear to have a good fighting chance to elect Clarke in the second, Comer in the third, Dryer in the fourth, and Lawson in the ninth. ‘The populists (with republican indorsement) have a good chance to elect Goodwyn in the fifth, and there is a good fighting show for Aldrich in the fourth. The coming of Generals Palmer and Buckner, the nominees of the national dem- ocrats, to Alabama this week, where they make three speeches, it 1s said, has been planned more to strengtnen the scund money congressional cause than with any hope of carrying the state for the Indianap- olis electoral ticket. Their visit is expected to rally those who are lagging behind in the sovnd money procession on the plea of party regularity. Every effort will be made to arouse all the enthusiasm possible to be had out of the viait of the nominees. They speak in Birmingham Thursday afternoon, at Montgomery that night, and in Mobile next day. It is freely stated that Ala- ma is tne one southern state that the managers of the Indianapolis campaign have selected to make a fignt in, but that the fight will be directed chiefly at secur- ing Congressmen, as it would be well nigh impossible to hope to carry the electoral vote of the state for Palmer and Buckner unless all the anti-democrats should unite in. support of that ticket. — SOLTH CAROLINA REGISTRATION. Only About 10,000 ‘ote—I ljored Men VW al Tickets. ial Correspondence of The ening Star. COLUMBIA, 8. C., October 13, 1896. The returns of registration of voters to the secretary of state indicate that there are between 70,000 and $0,000 holding certificates entitling them to vote. Of this.number not over 10,000 are colored. ‘The registration is under the new constitution, which deprives so many colored voters of their suffrage.

Lake, Edgefield; fourth,Fraik Evans of Spartanburg;, A. C. Spri York; sixth, A. T. Harllee, Marion; James D. Blanding, Sumter. George W.

The Tillman democrats gnash their teeth when they think of the fact that they have no way of defeating Colonel El- Hott, the gold democrat in this district. They have never liked him, but they can- not help themselves. He is in a district where the Tillmanites are in a minority. ‘The silver democrats, had no idea that the gtId men would put out an electoral ticket. They do not fear it, but they see in it the first democratic split of importance In South Carolina, The fear of the negro has ulways kept the party solid. Now that this fear is removed. by. the -suffrage disqualitications there are likely to be two parties of white men in this state hereafter. Se ' “VISITORS TO CANTON.

Chairman Baker of the democratic committee, and at the head of the com- bine’s executive committee, has’ protested against this arrangement and demanded second place, and will appeal to the su- preme court. The case will be- submitted this week, and a decision will be handed down at an early date. The decision will govern the arrangement of the ballots in the state generally. A Tom Watson of Its Own. The second congressional district has a Tom Watson of its own. The populists held an early convention, and nominated a candidate for Congress, and then endeav- ored to have the democrats and free silver republicans indorse their nominee. Instead of doing so, however, Thomas E. Bart- worth was named. The populist leaders and managers have since been striving to pull the populist candidate down, but he is proof against their blandishments and seems determined to stick. He is the only straight populist candidate for any office in the state, and on the second district ballot will have a whole column all to himself. As it will be necessary to scratch the com- bination ticket to vote for him, and as com- paratively few of his compatriots would go to that trouble, it probably makes little dif- ference whether he stays or not. In the third district a sound money dem- ocratic candidate has been put up against Milnes, republican, and Todd of the com- bine. There is a substantial sound money democratic sentiment in the district, and a good-sized vote is expected. In the eighth district the sound money democrats will also make a nomination. In the other districts they wiil vole as a rule for the republican caadidate. The free silver prohibitionists have re- fused to come into the band wagon, and Theo place on ihe ticket f state was originaliy of- fered them as an inducement, but they wanted ar elector as well, and this was deemed too extravagant and the negotia- tions fell through. An old prohibitionist was given the place, however, and later, when two candidates for election with- drew the prohibition organization was in- vited_ to name the meu. They have de- clined with thanks and will run their own campaign. Minister Uhl Declines to Contribute. Edwin F. Uhl of this city, now United States ‘minister at Berlin, has emphatically declined to contribute to the Bryan cam- paign fund. Chairman Campau, who wrote him a letter asking iim to come down with the dust, received the reply last week, and it was even more pointed than the letter from Consul Parker of Birming- ham, Mr. Campau wrote a savage letter to Mr. Parker, accusing him of treachery and other things, but he is satisfying bim- self with calling Mr. Uhl an ingrate, not in a letter, but in an intervicw. Wm. E. Quinby, minister at The Hague, has not been heard from and probably was not in- vited to contribute, as his paper, the De- troit Free Press, bolted the ticket and nomination immediately after ihe conven- tion. Consul A. B. Morse at Glasgow and Consul Dean, somewhere in Italy, have not been heard from in a public way, and the fact has not yet developed whether they contributed or not. John P. Irish of California will be put on Mr. Bryan's trail through Michigan to counteract any spasm of enthusiasm that Mr. Bryan may arouse. Mr. Irish is tall, good-natured and quick-witted, and has a voice that would give odds toa saw mill. He made his first speech in this city, and the impression he gave was so favorable that he was selected for the post assigned im. Bourke Cockran, Don M. Dickinson and Generals Palmer and Buckner formed an all-star sound money aggregation in this city Saturday night, and perhaps for the first time in political history the presiden- tial candidates played second fiddle to the popular Mason. It was Cockran the crowd wanted to hear, and they filled the biggest hall in town to its limits, and the generals were sent to another hall to address the overflow. In the Cockran audience were many silverites and Bryanites, and they were so noisy and demonstrative that Don M. Dickinson, who presided and introduced the speaker, had difficulty in being heard at all. The gang tried to work the same game on Cockran, but his Tammany Hall training stood him in good stead. With his bland brogue he sugared and taffied the Bryanites until he got them good-natured, and then | he slugged them in a rhetorical sense. He repeated the operation, and long before he had finished those whom he called popu- lists were completely dazed, and many cf them had departed. It seems to be a con- certed plan with the silverites to disturb and, if possible, break up the sound money meetings, not only in this city, but throagh- out the state. ——— BRYXAN’S MICHIGAN TRIP. He Addresses Enthusiastiac Gather- ings of Miners. The weather has been considerate to Democratic Candidate Wm. J. Bryan in the last two days. Where he had reason to ex- pect cold and disagreeable traveling he has | encountered sunshine and warmth. As usual, he began work early yesterday, starting in with his speech-making at Iron- wood, Mich., at 8:45 a.m. The special car of D. M. Campau, chairman of the Gemo- cratic campaign committee, was attached to the train at Duluth, and the Michigan ecmmittee, which escorts the aominee through the state, was aboard. Besides Mr. Campau, the committee was composed of ex-Congressman T. E. Tarsney, Justin R. Whiting, democratic candidate for lieu- tenant governor, and George W. Moore. Mrs. Justin Whiting accompanied the com- mittee, being an old friend of Mrs. Bryan. At Ironwood a large crowd was in wait- ing to see and near the candidate. It was composed, for a great part, of miners, end when Mr. Bryan emerged from the car they gave him an enthusiastic welcome. He spoke from a gaily decorated platform erected a few hundred yards from the train. For the most part his speech dwelt on an explanation of the statement that under a gold standard the dollar rises in value and property falls in proportion. Fifteen minutes later Mr. Bryan addressed a similar crowd at Bessemer, both in num- bers and enthusiasm. In his speech Mr. Bryan said he was not afraid of a “flood of money.”” : At Watersmeet Mr. Bryan spoke in a con- versational tone from the rear platform to a few hundred enthusiastic listeners. He said: “In studying the money question there is one thing that you must learn before any- thing else can be learned, and that Is that you can affect the value of the dollar wren you affect the number of dollars.” A voice—“The national bank system is uae the people of this place are inter23:ed Mr. Bryan—‘“The difference between our plan and the national bank plan is this: We bave greenbacks out now and those green- backs draw no interest and the goverament Pays no one. “When you retire those greeabacks with an issue of bonds and then let the banks is- sue money on the bonds, the banks wi draw from the people of the country the in- terest which the people now have. It is — for the banks, but hard on the peo- ple.” The train stopped five minutes at Iron river and Mr. Bryan talked the full limit of time. While he was applaufled frequently, there were many gathered around the train wearing gold badges. Mr. Bryan said: “The money question has never been sub- mitted to the American people as it is today since the time of Andrew Jackson. At that time the people met and discussed and de- cided whether a national bank should run the country, and in this :ampaign they are discussing and are going to decide whether the financiers shall run this country in the interest of foretgn financiers or \.hether the American people shall run it themselves in their own interest.” "he trip was continued through the siate, Mr. ryan speaking at almost every station until a late hour at night.

A House-to-House Poll Shows 85,000 Plurality for McKinley. From the New York World. CHICAGO, October 14.—Two evens of sreat importance happened today. The sound money citizens’ committee com- pleted its house-to-house canvass of the city of Chicago. The poll shows a plurality of 85,000 in the city for McKinley. It indi- cates that more than forty thousand demo- crats in Chicago alone will vote against Bryan on the sound money issue. The re- publican state committee canvass of the State by school districts indicates a plural- ity for McKinley of 45,000 outside of Chi- cago. If the citizens’ committee canvass and the Sate a canvass are cor- ect, the state wi republican by 130,- 000 plurality, ees bes The second event, of equal significance and importance, was a direct result of the first. The republican national committee is now so “sure” of Illinois that it decided to divert some of its most important speak- ers from Illinois to states west of the Mig- sissippi, which are not necessary to the election of McKinley. Strenuous efforts are row to be made in Nebraska, Kansas, North and South Dakota, Wyoming and California for effect upon Congressmen and state legislators, which will choose United States Senators. Speaker Reed, Represen- tatives Boutelle, Dolliver and possibly Nel- son Dingley will carry the war over the Rocky mountains. This means the republican national com- mittee considers Illinois absolutely sure. Two months ago the first school district canvass of the state was made. Normally about fifty-three voters in every hundred in Illinois, outside Chicago, are republi- ns, and forty-seven in every hundred are democrats. The first canvass showed that only about forty republican voters in every fifty-three could be counted for the republican ticket, while about forty-two in every forty-seven of the rural democrats were solid for free silver. This indicated that about 18 per cent of the voters were actually in doubt, with the odds in favor of free silver. ——- see __- __ RECEPTION TO SATOLLI. Farewell Address at an Entertain« ment of New York Catholic Clu! A reception and dinner given by the Catholic Club of New York to Cardinal Satolli on the eve of his departure for Rome were held at the club house last evening. A large number of prominent Catholic clergymen and laymen, both from that dio- cese and from distant places, were present. A farewell address was presented to the cardinal. His reply, read by the Rev. Geo. A. Daugherty of Washington, was, in part, as follows: “Organizations such as this are most im- portant for the prosperity and highest progress of the church in these United States. What is more, I shall venture to say that the greatness and splendor of the Catholic Church in New York, under the wise and firm administration of his grace, your beloved archbishop, is due in no small measure to the active co-operation of the members of the Catholic Club. “Were I to endeavor to carry away with me in a material way my affection for America, the high esteem and kindly feel- ings that I entertain for American insti- tutions, the admiration I feel for the Cath- olic Church of this country—so great, so glorious, so progressive—I am sure that I would have to press into service another steamer larger than the Kaiser Wilhelm, which is to bear me awa: “Finally, gentlemen, accept the expres- sion of the profound admiration with which your devotion to the holy church has filled me. May still greater prosperity and prog- ress be the lot of the church of America, of the ckurch in this great diocese of New York and of the Catholic Club. These, gentlemen, are the feelings which animate me, and to which I have given expression before pronouncing that word which is al- ways the hardest between friends—fare- well.’ A general reception followed, and at its conclusion supper was served. Cardinal Satolli will be entertained by the clergy of New York today and will be a guest of the Columbian Club of Brooklyn’ in the even- ing. Renented a Slight to McKinley. Frank Holmes, an old resident of Rem- ington, Ind., recently visited the home of Charles Bartholomew, where a picture of McKinley hung in the window. Holmes made a remark about it which angered Barthclomew, who selzed a base ball bat and struck Holmes over the head, frac- turing his skull, fatelly. Bartholomew has been piaced under heavy
