The bui'ding was filled to its ubwost capacity and thousands wera Gnable Lo gain admiasion. Long before the hour snnounced for opening of the meeting, crowds assembled in the vicinity of the Acad- emy,and when the doors were openel the rush was &0 great that many per- wons were carried off their feet and >ral fainted and we: by their friends. out persous that oocupied boxes were Gov.

He was roceived with great applause, and iter speaking a fow minutes was com- peiled to stop again for a few moments on account of choering. CONKLING'S SPEBCI. enator Conkling, after compliment 1z the fine audionce and referring to ie royal rcoouchement in Spain, said that it had become the duty of this nation to again choose & ruler at the baflot box. The question is whiok of the partios is it safer and wiser to trust. not & question of ca didates, uine honest man will not ta when elociced become a law unto him eclf. Few things ave more despicable than, first to secure elevation at the hands of a party end the perior sauclity implying that those, whose support he had sought, rro wanting in purity or patriotiem. A andidate of a party is its exponent the democratic party is the demo oratic candidate 1 am againet tha andall its works. The general sue before us_is sectional. I would it were not so, butitis xo. In twelve states the election will be a farce, un- less, as_sometimes happens, it be turned into o tragedy. In sever.l es there is a well known y, but, without ex- <eption, they are relied tpon to help tho democrats score 138 electoral voies, lacking but 47 of a majority. "This condition of things no intelligent man can overlook; but to speak of it, he s charged in the coarse parlancs of demooracy with “waving the bloody shirt.” The senator then repaated Gra letter to Arthur, which had been read, complimenting both the writer and the receivor. He then proceeded to show that the demo- cratic party is grverned by sathern- ers, who control congress, and in the eveut of a controversy over the elec- toral count, they would dccide it. He referred to the present censas of the South, which, he said, was grossly franduleut, »5 proven by the ce of 1870 taken by the lar United States marshials, One st ccredited with ‘«x pec oo incr.:se only re- ceived 137 forcicn cmigrants in the fraud rtended represer manentlyJeontrol the ‘fluence i all work- + Tuwther won seveuth of the esunt: 's jopulation wud one-fourth of I industrial wealth eontrol'in: Ho showed, by « 1 und figures, the wup north in every Deen less hatein » capital and indus'ry, difierent in the no 1l luded to the boasic « Misstasippi asa ‘oa claims of suprema y « belonged to thepast. | of stecl roads to th, carries more freight t' 11 on the Missiesippt, The tounsge across ti Louis is twelvefold wha rried on the river.

One chief use of this power hes boen the repudiation of etate and municipal debts, amounting to $£300,000 90,000,000 being auti-war debt. The spoaker said that another scheme to perpetuate demo- cratic power was to make four states out of Texas; annex a slice of Mexico; create now states from territories and thue add fourteen senators to the southern majority.

Sevator Conkling argued st length, showing the hostility of democracy to existing and constitutional smendments, He ridicaled their pleas of economy in national afiairs and their claims of the credit for spe- cie resumption; they had favored re- pudiation and 'not resumption. On the contrary,tho republicsn party had originated all the plans for resum; and catried thew into execution. Gen. rant was first elected on a resamp- tion platform. In elosinz, Mr. Conk- ling seid: A triumphant nationality and regenerated constitution, a free republic, an unbroken couvtry, un- taraished credit, solvent finances, un- paralelled prosperity—sll these are ours, despite the policy and the efforts of the democratic party. But in the midst of the harmony and encourage- ment comes a hareh discord, crying, “Give usa_chavge; anything for & change.” The country does not need A good natured but firm “NoI thank you” will be the response at the polls. THE CANDIDATES, we suppose, hesides beingrepublican: are largely fitted for the stations which awai. them. Some service with him in congress has made me well ac- quainted with Gen. Garield; that he has the intelligence, experience and habits ofa mind which fits a man for the presidential office, I thiuk Iknow.

Miichell dies for the murder of his wifa, com The mariago was_ille another wife and she another husband. They had frequently quarreled, and on the day previous to the murder he threatened her life, but she eluded him and went to town, stopping with her sister. Next morning she went carly to work and had to pess through an out-of-the-way lwne, and here Mitchell stationed himself carly in the morning o await ier coming, and attacked and murdered her, cutting her in the most horrible mauner about the head and back.

The political situation hourly be- comes moro strained, aud_the air is full of rumors as to the danger of a olution of the cabinet. It is to be remsrked, however, that the Bourse is but little affected by these repoits, and that a state of things which three years ago wolld bave thrown the city into a state of great excitemant is now regarded with great tranguility and almost with indifference by evety one outside of poltical circles.

In Portlagd, Bangor, Bath, Biddeford, Belfast and some fifteen or twenty other large towns We meet our prin- cipal loeses, by means to which I have already referred. These instrumentalities did nol teach the country towns. Hence Gov. is has been comitig up splendidly within the lst thirty-six hours. Wé& now foel confident of his election by a vote of the people. Thero is & possi- bility that deinocratic frands will be attemptod among the Krench in the tar off Madawaska region on our ex- treme northwestern frontier, which i 300 milesfrom hera by existing routes of travel. These French people are theniselves innocent, but they zre inado the passive instrutnenty of fraud by the genuine anglo-Saxon demoérits of the state steal variety. Fraud in Madawasta has been often tried by democrals in the past. They were signally exposed and rebuked as long ago as 1858 by Hon. Jas. S. Pike of 'he Tribune, appointed a special com- thissioner by Gav. 1i. Mor ft;may become necessary to order a similar investigation this year. The cour- age of Maine republicans has never Deen higher than at this moment. We have elected 22 members of the son- ate against 9 by the fusionists, & Have the houso of ropre-entatives by a large majority. ‘The political power of Main is permanently wrested from the men wholast year dishonored the state. Janes G. BLAINE, THE DEMOCEATIC Special dispatch to Trn Bs. New Yok, September 17—4 p. m. The national demotratic committes has_issued the following statement relative—te the electfon_in Maine: The latest reliable and cfficient returns teccived from Maine are as fol- lows: Returns from 428 towns givo Plaisted 70,019, Davls 70,698;re- publican majority, 677. In the same towns in 1876 the opposition vote was 57,477, reptiblican 72,765; republican, majority,15,206. Repub- lican loes in 1880 from correspozding election in 1876, 14,587. There are 58 townsand plantations to hear from relative zain of those towns compared with 1876 would give us at a low esti. mate 1000 majority. The proclamation further accuses the republicans of fraud and an inten- tion to_count out the fusionist candi- date. It claims that Philbrick in the Third and Anderson in the First dis- trics wete elected, but the returns manipulated in favor of the republi- cans, VERSION, Latest from Maine. Special Dispatch to Tho Boo. New York, September 18, 1a. m. —The following was received last night from Augusta, Me., addressed to Chairman Jewell, of the republican national committee: We have com- plote returns, with the exception of a few distant plantations, and 1 give you a summary of the result. In the election of 1879 the republicans lacked 1,045 votes of a majority. This year we have made gains in twelve coun- , held our own in two counties and in two others have made slight losses. Our met gain in the whole sixteen counties is reckoned at 1,300 asa min- imum, with a possible maximum of 1,600, making Gov. Davis’ re-electio certain. It is nolonger denied by his opponents, His majority over Plais- ted will not vary much from 400. We have chosen three-quarters of the county officers, more than two-thirds of the state senate and a la jority of the house of representatives, giving us complete control of the state government in all its branches. Our only regret is the failure to regsin the fourth andfifth congressionaldistricts. We succeeded in reducing in each to about one-third of the fusion majority of two years ago, but the democratic slarm over the result in Vermont caused the application of arguments in both districts during last week, which we could not meet. JawEs G. BuaiNe. REPUBLICAN PLUBALITY OF 2,000. Porrraxp, Me., September 18, 3a. m.—From official figures now at the state house, and estimating thoss not yet heard from the same as last year, gives Davis 2,114 plurality.

Freeman, » journal- ist of twenty.six years experience, and a brillisnt and affibls gentleman, was in the city yesterday and favored Tue Btk office with a call. Major Free- man, who began his newspaper career on the New York Times, has for the past five years owned and edited the Los Angelos Daily Star. He has also for three yeara past been at the head of the literary bureau of the Central and Southern Pacific railroads, in whose interest the present trip to the east is made. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter and came in from California last night in the di- rectors’ car of the Union Pacific, which conveyed President Hayes and party from Omaba to the cosst. Ma- jor Freeman is well known to General nd otherofficers at Fort Omaba aswell astoa host of military men ad journalists throughout the entire | country. He temporarily abandoned editorial work in 1862 to go to Nash- ville a3 private secretary to Andy Johnson, who was then appointed Military Governor of Tennessee. He was afterwards first provost marshal of Nashville.

A Chinese Mandarin Conver- ses With a Bee Re- porter Concerning Varlous Topics of Interest to John and Jonathan, On the train that came in from the Pacific coast yesterday afternoon was s very intelligent and highly educated Chinese dignitary, whose arrival in San Francisco, some ¢wo weeks ago, creatod agreat deal of gossip in tio | California metropolis. A BEE repor- ter, who bearded the fraln on its way in, secured s pleasant and instructive intorviet, whith substantially con- veyed the following fact “My name is Tong Ying Sing,” sald the Chinese dignitary in very clear English, witha cockuey accent. ‘I am mauager of the Chingse Morchant tehip line, now plying between Canton, in China, 4iid Honolalu. 1 am now bound for New York, where 1 expect Lo meet the Chinese Minister, with whom I desire to confer about d | our commercial treaty with the United States. This is my first visit to Amor- fcs. 7 have never before been abroad but have aciilired o pretty general knowledgo of your geograply, history, and customs. It is our design to_ex tend our steamship iine to San Fran- o for commercial business, but we canuot do 5o 88 long as the United States discriminates against usin its duties. They charge us one dollar cx- tra per tonand the charge from China to Honolulu is only thirty cents per ton.” T was interviewed in San Francis- co b§ newspaper men but they have ‘misrepresented my statements.
