POLITICS AT THE CAPITAL The Prospect For Republican Action on the Tariff. GENERAL DUDLEY INTERVIEWED. He Regards the Outlook Most Promis- ing For Harrison—The Bee snd the Sioux Commission — Gossip ¥From Washington. Victory in Sight. WasniNGToN Bureav Tiue OMATA Bra, 513 FOURTEENTH STREET, } WasiiNarox, D, C., Sept. 18, General W. W. Dudley, treasurer of the republican national committee, was here to- day in conference with Senator Allison and others in reference to the tariff and other po- litical legislation. Just before he left the capitol for the rallway station on his return to New York, I asked him what the outlook was for th Mt bill, O, smid he, “our people are going to re- port a bill in the senate just as soon as they can complete it, They will not permit them sclves to be forced into any premature action by the democratic yell in either house,” “Will it be reported to the senate before congress adjourns i *If the adjournment does not come too soon, and I do not expeet to 8ee congress dis- solve for some weeks yet. The republicans in the senate are opposed to adjournment at least till they et their tarill bill on the calendar, That may take them only two or three weeks and it may sire as many months. The senate committee on finance is working every day on its bill, giving hear- ings and putting the bill in shape to meet the approval of not ouly all the republican sena- tors, but the country. They have not yet consumed one-third as much time as the com mittee on ways and means did to prepare the Mills bill. Idon't believe the democrats in the house will agree to adjourn. I hope they won't. We are willing to let congress re- main in session and by it we will help our- selves to elect a majority of the next house. We are worsting them every day in debate.” “What is the general outlook T asked. “Encouraging beyond all expectation,” was the reply. W ure to carry New York ~sure as fate—and our reports from Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey are exceedingly bright. We will win by an'increase of votes cast and by direct changes from Cleveland lhey are flocking to us by thousands in New Y The fight between the Hill and Cleve- land factions there is helping us. But the tariff and other issues are making us the most votes.” REFUGE FOR PLURAL WIVES. Senator Paddock has succeeded in induc- ing the senate committee on appropriations 1o incorporate in_the general deficiency ap- propriation pill, $30,000 for the establishment of an industrial and educational institution City for dependent women who ape from Mormonism. The house will undoubtedly demand that this be stricken out, but Senator Paddock believes he will in keeping it in the bill, THE BEE'S ARKAIGNMENT OF TIHE SIOUX COM- MISSION. Representative Morrell of Kansas, who i.:s(urdny mtroduced in the house a resolu- 0 calling upon the secretary of the inte- rior to know whether, as charged editorially in Tre Bee, and other newspapers, itis true that ' intimidation, misrepresenta’ tion, or any kind of ulterior infiuence have been exercised in procuring signatures to the treaty throwing open the Sioux Indian res- ervation to settlement, said to-day that ho expected a partisan reply. Mr, Merrill be- licves Tuk Bee was right in its’ arraignment of the Sioux commission, but believes that at this time in a campaigu it would not be rea- onable to anticipate a report which would nculpate democratic officials. INDIANA WILL GO REPUBLICAN. A letter was received here to-day from Rep- resentative Steele, of Indiana, which has given much courage to the republicans in congress who were doubtful as to the result in that state. Steele’s district is about 1,200 democratic, but, although he is an active and unilinching republican, he has managed to carry it by from 100 to' 400 majority for six years. He generally takes a discouraging view of the outloolk, is never over sanguine, and, therefore, his opinion is regarded as valuable. He writes that he will be re- elected by a largely -increased majority and that the state is sure to give ~Harrison its electoral vote. Major Steele says further that he never saw so much determin- ation on the part of the republicans to carry Indiana, and that there is much more in “state pride” than the democrats are willing to admit. General Hovey, republican can- didate for goveruor, returned to his seat in the house to-day, after two weeks' canvas- sing in the the state, and he says Indiana was never beter organized by both parties, and that there never was so much interest in rol cs there as at present. He believes that t ‘u”%nly u question of majority and fixes 10, a8 the minimum for Harrison and Morton in the state. 1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHOSE OX 18 GORED, People in Washington were amazed on reading the statement made by Senator Payne, of Ohio, the other day, to the effect .that he did not now own and nover did own any stock in the Standard Oil company. For eurs 1t has gone without saying that the aynes were the soul of the great monopoly. The family’s wealth is estimated all the way from $25,000,000 to 60,000,000, while the cap- ital stock of the Standard Oil company is es- timated ut anywhere from $40,000,000 to $30,- 000,000 Somie of the most intimate friends of the Payne and Whitney families are ex- plaining how it is that Senator Payne is not & stockholder in the company, and yet is deeply interested it it. They say that for many years his entire estate has been handled by lus son Oliver, and that in his name all of the stock in the Standard com- pany has been carvied. It is no sccret that the Payne family controls the Standard Oil organization, whether it carries in its own name the stock which appears upon the books, or whether it appears in the name of other persons. The munner of utterance of no man in the senate has attracted so much attention as that of Senator Hoar while he was indulging in repartee with Senator Payne on last Fri- day, and whilo the Standurd Oil company ‘was under discussion. The way in which Senator Hoar repelled the indignation of Senator Payne, when he charged that gentle- man with being astockholder in the Standard Oil company, was severe. Senator Hoar has 8 large, smooth, motherly-looking face, with powerlul facial expression. When he held out his two hands in a beseeching and at the same time expostulating manuer and said that he could not see why any man should Jose lus courteous bearing and usual placid temper simply because it was intimated that he was couuected with the Standard Oil company; that he did not know before that it was a crime, or even reprehensible, for u man to own stock in the corporation, even though it was a monopoly; that if there was pdor connected with the Standard Oil com- ny it had been created by utterances of @ democratio party; that the Standard company had been pointed out by the leaders of the democratic party as the chief trust of the United States, and the ateat monopoly under the American re- Fl.blk. Senator Payne roared with anger. f A man was to be condemned because he ‘was connected with this admiustration, and Bt the same time held stock in the Standard Oil company he was to be condemned by men connected with the administration itself, and those who were managing the domocratio part The affected soothing manner in ‘Which Mr. Hoar assured Mr. Payne that no rndn.luolln was intended on his part hen he stated that he thought the senator from Ohio was connected with this company, d that much as he (Mr. Hoar) opposed the rmation of monopolies and trusts intended aoumol e markets, he did not cast reflec- n the individuals in their personal ‘who were connected with thew, was fulin the catreme. veuerabie sen- OMAHA. WEDNESDAY MOKNING, NUMBER 97 ator from Ohio fairly writhed and groaned With agony, yet he could not retort to words uttered in the sympathetic and yet atthe same timo mocking terms of the shrewd Yankee. It was an instance of abird befoul- ing its own nest, when Mr. Payne, at the outset of the debate, flew to his feet and de- nounced Senator Hoar in person for having intimated that he (Mr. Payne) was con- nected with the Standard Oil company. The democrats are very free to denounce trusts, but when the leading men in their party are shown to be connected with them there is a change of front that is absolutely refreshing if not amusing. 2 AN EXPENSIVE CAMPAIGN, Members of both national political commit- tees arriving here daily from New York for the purpose of consulting their leaders in congress, arc uniform in the statement that there be more oratorical talent imported to the various states during this campaign than was ever known in a_political contest. It is stated that there will be over two thou- sand strangers who will speak alone in In- diana, and that the number of non- dents who will talk politics in New York cannot be estimated, as the democrats alone have over twenty-nine hundred of them on their books, The number of residents who will speak in these states are almost beyond computation. Every county has a dozen or who will speak to a greater or less fore the election. Add to this the millions of dollars which will be expended for tariff and other political literature, and the cost of the campaign directly or indi- rectly, it will be seen, is enormous. ~ A o.em- ber of the house who has made figures closely upon this subject cstimates that the time and money which will be expended in this campaign will be worth more than £0,000,- 000, Perry S, Heatn, Nebraska and Iowa Pensions.

The report of the removal by the postmas- ter general of Willbanks, superintendent of mails i the Chicago postofiice, s contirmed here. Mr. Cox of New York, presided atthe democratic house caucus to-night. There were many speakers, a majority of whom took the ground that the house should not initiate an adjournment resolution. After many speeches a motion to adjourn was put and voted down by an overwhelming major- ity, the caucus formally deciding to continue the house in session until the senate made known its intentions. The secretary of the navy has telegraphed Rear Admiral Kimberly, commanding the Pacific station, who is now at San Francisco, to send one of the vessels of b uadron to the Samoan islands for such services as may be required of it in the protection of Ameri- can interests, The Alert, Vandalia and Adams are now cruising in' the vicinity of the Hawaiian islands, and one of these will be gent to Samoa at once. The president to-day transmitted to coa- gress, in answer to the senate resolution, the correspondence in relation to the Chinese treaty. One letter, dated January 12, 1887, from Tsungle Yamen (the foreign office) to Minister Denby in regard to the coming of Chinese to this country, contains bitter com- plaints of violated treaty obligations and of cruel outrages to Chinese. g A PERIOD OF TROUBLE. Increase—Jesse Ball, Hope- Talk of a London Paper on the Quebec Threats. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpboN, Sept. 18.—(New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.]—The Daily News has a belligerent leader upon the Quebec threats for secession and annexation. It begins: ““We are evidently on the eve of a period of trouble in Canada. The failure of the fisheries treaty and threats of com- mercial retaliation, now so very near fulfil- ment on the part of the United States, have excited public feeling throughout the entire Dominion." Itadds: *Quebec is evidently talking to England rather than to the Dominion in these propositions to throw in its lot with the re- public on the other side of the border. The language of that kind from Quebec is un- happily nothing novel. It has long been re- marked that the division between French and British Canada grows sharper every day.” The article concludes thus: “The situa- tion is a grave one, but it ought not to be be- yond the resources of statesmanship. We must look it full in the face. Its dificulties and its hdrdships are enough.” S The Ex-Prisoners of War, INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 18.—One hundred delegates attonded the sixteenth reunion of the national association of ex-prisoners of war. General W, H. Homell, of Belleville, 1L, is the president, and Major L. P. Will- iams, of South Bend, Ind., secretary and treasurer, Committees were appointed, and General John Coburn delivered an address, Tho secretary has enrolled during the year twenty-four new associations and 148 in- dividual members, In the afternoon the delegates called on General Harrison and at fire was held. "he followin, vere chosea: Presi- dent, Thomas N. Washington, D. C.; vice president, ¥. H. Williams, Indiana; secretary and treasurer, L. P. Williams, Washington, D. C.; chaplain, C. C. McCabe, New York; orian, Frank F. Moran, Philadelphia. The next annual meeting will be beld in Milwaukee, D The L. O, O. F. Los AxceLks, Sept. 18.—The sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows, now in session in this city, elected oficars for the ensuing term to-day. The only changes were the election of General Underwood, of Kentucky, the present deputy grand sire, to the posi- tion of grand sire, and Charles M. Busbee, of Raleigh, N. C., to the position of dapul‘{ grand sire. The parade of visiting Odd Fel- ows this afternoon was very imposing. The city was crowded as never before, and the decorations were elaborate. Grading Frosted Wheat. S1. Pavi, Sept. 19.—The state ralway commissioners have decided not to establish special grades for frosted wheat, but to leave the whole question to State Grain lnspector James. Ho states that he will grade frosted wheat strietly according to its value, NOTORIETY FOR MISS RIVES, A Bishop in Trouble for Confirming Her at Her Home. Bavtivone, Sept. 18, —~When Bishon Ran- dolph first assumed charge of the Virginia episcopacy he was, perhaps, the most popu- lar of all the Protestant Episcopal heads in this country. Of late, however, his people do notspeak of him as affectionately as here- tofore: indeed, they condemn what they term his snobbishness, The change of feel- ing came about in this way: A short time ago Ameli made known her desire to be contirmed. All the members of her family have always been devout members of the Episcopal church, and assisted materially in the building of the pretty church near Castle Hill, Albermarle county, the scat of the Rives family. It was naturally supposed that the authoress would avail herself of the opportunity when Bishop Randolph in his visitations should reach the district. Instead of this, however, she sent a request to the bishop that the services be performed at her residence. The rites had never been conferred in this manner before, anud the good bishop hesitated. Finally, how- ever, he consented, and one fine day ceeded to Castle Hill and performed the rites of confirmation, When this became known to the members throughout the d created much talk and adverse criti the bishop is roundly censured for to the whim of the fair authoress. L clusive contirmation is said to be the in the history of the Protestant Episcopal church. i A COACHMAN'S BRIDE. Strange Marriage of Annie Rider, a ovidence, R. L, Belle. Provivesce, R. L, Sept. 15.—The mar- riage of Miss Annie Rider, daughter of Sidney Rider, the well known book pub- lisher, to a coachman here has created a social sensation. The ceremony was per- formed, it scems, last April, but only last week was it known to the young woman's parents, Miss Rider is a handsome young woman and has always been popular in the ‘cles in which she was known on the de. She was the patentee of a *blue flame” firewood, which caused much talk at the hearthstones of fashionable folks here last winter, aud she had for her financi backer Dr. Radka, The young woman was enterprising and a factory was started in New Bedford, where the peeuliarly illu- inated firewood was made. Dr. Radke's man, William How Morgan, had missions between Miss Rider and_ Dr. Radke. Thus he came in contact with Miss a great deal, and in_time he learned ret of the “blue flame” wood. He rned to like Miss Rider, and the ac- quaintance rvipened into love, Since the ze Miss Rider has been living at home, but now she asserts her determination to go with her husband and publicly announce her marriage. The Rider family bed. Miss Rider, who ye of age, is highly educated, and time she was engaged to a United States naval officer, who met Lis death on a war ship at New Orleans about three years ago. Morgan is an undersized Englishman, twen- ty-four years old, and a year and a half ago he reached this city, walking part of the way from New York. — THE LUTHERA A Perplexing Doctrinal Snarl Theme For Discussion. MixNEAPOLIS, Sept. 18.—The doctrinal snarl in which the American theological pro- fessors have become involved with the school at Krupp, Germany, was still the theme of discussion at the meeting of the Lutheran conference this morning. A resolution was adopted, the gist of which was that the mis- sionaries for the field in America should re- ceive their theological education in the school at Philadelphia. The com- plaint made against the missiona- ries educated in Germany was that they did not understand American institu- tions, and were not able to enter into the spirit of American life. Another matter which aroused considerable discussion was a letter from the Michigan synod, announcing i hdrawal from the council. The bone ntention betwoen the synod and the council is the interpretation of what is known as the Galesburg rule, relating to the ex- change of pulpits. The Sunday school com- mittee made a report, 1n which they outline the course of instruction for the usc of Sun- day schools. Rives-Chanler CONFERENCE. the . The Wabash Troubles. Cnicaqo, Sept. 18.—Inquiry at the general offices of the Wabash railroad in this city this morning by Associated Press reporters ed the statement that the threatened strike of switchmen and cleaners at St. Louis on account of the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quinecy road having se- cured track privileges and a stabling contract for its engines, 18 not in the switch yards of the Wabash proper, but concerns the divisior of the old Wabash system run- ning west from St. Louis, which was taken out of the receiver’s hands some time ago and recognized independently under the name of the Wabash & Western. The trouble arises from the granting by this road of track facilities over about forty miles of road making the connection between the Burlington lines and St. Louis. St. Louls, t. 18.—General Manager Hayes, of the Wabash & Western, was seen by a reporter this morning in reference to the threatened strike owing to the contract the Wabash has with the Burlington for the handling and housing of the incoming en- gines of that company and the refusal of the Wabash brotherhood employes to touch the boycotted locomotives. He said he did not apprehend any serious troudles. -— Adams Tells of Big Crops. BosToN, Sept. 18.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee |—President Charles Francis Adams, of the Union Pacific, has returned from Oregon. He says: *The Union Pacific and all western roads will have the largest volume of trafic in crops this year they have ever moved. Oregon business is good. Ne- braska has the biggest corn crop she hasever harvested, and the northeastern half of Kan- 818 has an abundant crop. The Chicago, Bur- lington & Quiney will have a perfectly enor- mous traflic, as Illinois, Towa and Kansas have the greatest corn crop in their history.” chitadiie iy Yellow Fever Spreading. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—The secrotary of the treasury bas received a telegram from Surgeon General Hamilton dated at Camp Perry, Fla, September 17, which says Dr. Posey has yeliow fever, contracted at MeClenny. Three cases are reported at Gainesville, and there are rumors of cases at Wellborne and Per- ninda. The whole seaboard 18 alarmed on account of refugees breaking their patrol at Hendersonville. HAVANA, Sept. 18, —The number of deaths in Havana from yellow fever during July was 86, During August 114 persons died of the same disease. —— Rains Cause Great Damage. Porr Jervis, N, Y., Sept. 18,—The heavy rains which fell yesterday and last night have caused considerable damage. The Del- aware river 1s high and still rising. A saw mill, tannery and two dwellings on Vander- wmark creek, near Milford, were carried into the Delaware river. Slides and washouts oceurred on the Delaware division of the Erie road at five different points, but no acei- dents occurred. e -— lowa Postal Changes.

SIX TINES IN SUCCESSION. Carlisle Has a Walk-Away For the Congressional Nomination. HIS POSITION ON THE TARIFF. He Expounds Democratic Doctrine to His Constituents in the Blue Grass State—Other Polit- fcal News. Carlisle Renominated. CINCINNATI, Sept. 18.—The session of the democratic convention of the Sixth Ken- tucky district to-day in Covington was an in- teresting occasion. The crowd was far be- yond the limit of the accommodation, al- though there was no shadow of doubt as to the action of the convention. Mark Gray of Grant county, Kentucky, placed John G. Carlisle in nomination, and Theodore Hallem made an eloquent speech seconding the mo- tion. The nomination was made with great enthusiasm, and upon Carlisle appearing there was an outburst of applause lasting several minutes, Speaker Carlisle said: “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con- vention: 1 scarcely know in what terms to thank the demos of this district for its action to. welve years ago I was nom- inated for congress in this hall and since then the democracy of this district has chosen me six times in succession to rep- resent the in the house of representatives of the United States, No man could be ins sible to such devotion on the part of his friends, and I assure you, gentlemen, that [ feel most profoundly iny sense of gratitude and obligation to_you and the people whom yourepresent. [Cheers. | ] accept your nomination and shall en- deavor to meet as many of you as possible between this and the election, although my duties at Washington prevent ‘me ing much attention to my own district. only accept your nomination, but I endorse to the fullest extent the resolutions you have just adopted except that part of them as re- lates to me personally. [Applause. | “The great question before the country is the question of federal taxation. 1t makes but little difference whether I am elected to congress or not, but it is of overwheiming importance to the people that the next house of representatives should be democratic [Ap- plause|, und that the next president should be a democrat also. [Cheers.] Two political parties have nominated their candidates and made formal declaration of their principles, and you will be called on next November to decide between them. The republican party has chosen as its standard bearer Mr. Har son, a respectable lawyer of Indianapolis, for president, and for vice president Levi D. Morton, a very rich banker in Wall street. The democratic party has selected a true, tried and incorruptible president who now fills the chair; a man who has brought the administration back to the ways of the con- stitution and given to the people a clean, conservative and faithful administration of the law. '\L‘hucrs\. With him they have ciated Mr. Thurman, [cheers] who for 's has been the best and truest representative of our western democracy. is declared in the democratic platform that unuccessary taxation is unjust taxation, and by that declaration the democratic party will stand or fall in this contest.” Mr. Carlisle then explained how, at the rate of §10,000,000 per month, the present enormous surplus had accumulated; how the democratic ty had unsuccessfully strug- gled to devise schemes by which the surplus could be gotten rid of and the money again circulated among the people, where it be- longed. The republican party had substan- tially declared its platform in favor of reduc. ing the revenue by increasing the taxes. [Applause and laughter.] He compared these declarations to a proposition that a man can make himself rich by picking his own pocket, or that he can increase his wealth by imposing taxes upon himself. [Applause.| He then criticised Blaine for giving a quasi-endorsement of trusts on the plea that they are private affairs in which neither the president nor anybody else had any particular right to interfere. Larceny, he said, is aiso a private affair—a_very pri- vate affair, [applause] and yet 1t is not sup- posed improper to interfere with it by law, He thought that Blaine's position on top of Carnegie's coach in Scotland, and hobuobb- ing with the nobility of Erin, not a very good place from which to view the interests of America. [Applause. | He had been told that this system of taxa- tion is continued on the ground-that it in- creases the rate of wages of the American laborer. There ave two other facts which show conclusively that this argument is not sound. In the first place itisa concedad fact that there is as much difference between the rate of wages paid in this_country, to la- borers engaged in the same occupation in different parts of the country, as there is be- tween the rate of wages paid here and in European countries, and yet the same tariff law prevails throughout the whole United States. [Applause.| He claimed by exam- ination of labor statistics from 1850 to 1860, it would be found that in some cases as high as 100 per cent more 1s paid in New York or Philadelphia. If tariff regulated wages, he submitted that the rate of wages would be the same and would be uniform in the same occupations througfiout the Umited States under the same tariff. Going a step farther, he said that the rate of wages in this country in unprotected industries is larger ou an average than the rates of wages paid in this country in protected industries, Another fact is that since 1546, when the English corn laws were repealed, and England practically entered upon what' our republican friends call free trade, the rates of wages there have increased from 50 to 75 and even us high as 100 per cent in the same occupations. He asked them whether the same increase could be traced in this country in the same time. 1t is said that if the present duties are duced this country will be overwhelmed wi foreign cheap goods, and all our manu ing and merchantile industries will ruined. “Why, gentlemen,” said he, *if all the ships in the world were employed contin- uously bringing goods:from Liverpool to New York it would take thiem two years to bring as much as a single railroad in the country carrics in_one If all the Cunar vessels plying between Boston and New Yokk and European ports were to be employed it would require them seventy-five years to bring to this country as much goods as the Pennsylvania railroad carries in one year. [Applause. | “No man objects to a rate of taxation, whether it be by the general government or state or municipal government, necessary to raise a sufficient amount of' revenue to de- fray all the proper and legitimate expenses of the public admmistration, but when the tax drummer has taken from the people a sufticient amount of their earnings to accom- plish this purpose he should take his & out of their poc That is the dem doctrine, and the whole demoeratic dos [Applause.] Free trade! Ft concedes it the right and duty of the goverument to raise by taxation in some form or other a sufficient amount of money to defray ail its expenses and meet all its honest obligations, but it concedes likewise that the settled policy of the governmemt is to raise large portions of its revenue by duties on imports, but we protest that the people shall have cheaper clothing and_agricultural i plements before they get cheap whisky and cheap tobacco. [Cheers.] The republican platform, on the contrary, declares that they will repeal the whole internal revenue sys- tem rather thun surrender any part of the protection system. The trae meaning of the republican platform is that it will repeal the tax on whnk{' and beer, cigars, cigarettes and cheroots, but it will repeal no!mrv. of the duty upon sugar, woolen and cotton goods, and stcel and wron. Are the vmle ready to endorse that doctrine " he asked. r. Carlisle characterized us very adroit Harrison’s statement that he will retain the protection system and do away with internal taxes, rather than sacrifice the system or any part of it. The speaker thought that the time would soon come when the republi- can party will be compelied to choose between @ total repeal of the intcrnal tax and a re- duction of the dutics on imported goods. lisle closed by & glowing trivute to the administration of President Cleveland, and predicted an overwhelming victory at the polls in Novemb, RI—— THE OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT. A Prominent Politician Predicts a Clean Republic Sweep. NEW YORK, Sept. 18, —[Special Telegram to Tne Bee|—M. Hubbard, secretary of state of Connecticut, has just returned from atrip to Columbus, O., where he attended the national encampmentof the Grand Army of the Republic. He met people from all parts of the country and had a long opportu- nity to learn the drift of public sentiment. He had a long conversation with Governor Foraker, who has recently been making speeches in Indiana. Governor Ioraker said he thought the republicans would carry that state by a very substantial majority, although the indications were that the democratic man agers entertained some wild and wicked notions of colonizing the state from Kentucky and Ohio. But it is hardly likely that they will do so, because of In- diana’s very rigid election law, and it is now one of the most difficult states in the country in which to practice illegal voting. Governor Foraker further said he felt quite certain every northern state would cast republican He concluded by saying that hun- s of democrats in Ohio had proclaimed opposition to the free trade policy of the ad- ministration. “Did you have an opportunity to make any oh vation in New York!" Yes; I stopped at several of the large towns. The workingmen throughout the state seem to be thoroughly aroused to the importance of the tariff issue, and feel if they would avoid a readjustment of wuges and the acceptance of a lower scule th must go to the polls and vote for Harrison, Morton and protection. They know the question of wages is in their own hands, and I take it are too sensible to vote for Clevelaud, free trade and low wages. Inevery town in which T stopped I found that many large,enthusiastic anti-free trade clubs had been formed, and that a great many persons who had always voted the democratic ticket were among the most enthusiastic members. In Buffalo I found the republicans thoroughly organized and full ot enthusiasm, and 1 was formed by prominent democrats, as well as republi- cans, that Cleveland would fail to carry the state of New York. In Saratoga I talked in an informal way with many leading politi- cians of both parties. and found that the prevailing opinion there was that Cleve- land’s chances to carry New York were about one in fifty. I believe the state is safe for Harrison and Morton.” A POLITICAL SE A Chicago Postal for ploye Dismissed Pernicioussdctivity, Cricaa pt. 18.—[Special Telegrs Tue Bee. | —The political sensation of the hour is the decapitation of R. A. D. Wil- banks, superintendent of mails in the Chicago postoftice, by order of First As it Post- master General Stevenson., Mr. Wilbanks has not for several months past been on friendly terms with the postmaster, and 1t has been generally conceded that it was Wil- banks who furnished much of the informa- tion used by the local papers against Mr. Judd regarding the mismanagement and in- eficiency of this office. Again, it is said that Mr. Wilbanks was guilty of ““pernicious ac- tivity” in politics about the time of the St. Louis convention. He has always been re- garded as a very shrewd politician, and therefore the postmaster's victory is re- garded as more signal. Postmaster Judd was in high spirits when seen by a reporter this evening, He said: “Mr. Wilbanks was removed for gross insubordination. For a long time he has as- sumed an attitude of independence of the postmaster, and has repeatedly disobeyed orders in a very marked manner. He has also been in the habit of receiving visits from persons, bitter enemies of the post- master, and with that class of persons he has for a long time conspired to defame the postmaster and to secure his removal. For months past he has fed reporters of the dally press with falsehoods agawmst the post- master and in many ways has shown his dis- respect and_insubordination. all he possibly could to influence certain gentlemen at Washivgton against me, and he has openly avowed his efforts to secure my removal from the office. He has been somewhat encouraged in what he has done by gentlemen who have been seeking the po- Blliol\” 1 hold and by their interested adher- ents. “There is little necessity to ask for a reason,” said a well-posted official. “The democratic administration had to either con- demn or vindicate Postmaster Judd. Mr. Wilbanks had taken issue with his superior’s actions in oftice. Then came the revelation t Mr. Esher, Mr. Judd’s law partner, was collecting monay for campaign purposes from each employe of the office. When the matter was published Mr, Wilbanks maintained that it was true, and denounced the meas- ures taken by the postmaster’'s partner to raise the wind. That is the secret of the matter. Mr. Wilbanks took issue with Judd, and the department, in upholding and vin- dicating the postmaster's course, was obl;lpzeni‘ to punish the superintendent of mails,’ MRS, FOSTER ON PROTECTION.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—During the pro- ceedings of the senate sub-committee on the tariff this morning about fifteen well dressed, fresh looking ladies made their appearance at the doors of the committee room, headed by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president of the W. T, U. of lowa, and were introduced by Senator Allison to his fellow members as a delegation who wished to be heard in respect to woman's special interest in the protective tariff. Mrs, Foster addressed the committee eloguently and at considerable length. She described her experience in Burope years ago, whither she went in connection with the philanthropic work in which she has spent her life, setting forth the steps which led her to her belief that the incomparably superior advantages enjoyed by the American woman as a wife, mother or self-supporter to her BEuropean sister were due to the American protective system. She contrasted the manufacturing and farming localities of Germany, England, Scotlafd and Ireland with the conditions of life here. She did not profess to be aspecial- ist in regard to the tariff, but had read the debates in congress and noticed that where- ever the wage worker was referred to it was the workingman who excited the sympath) of the legislator, ‘Would not society, she asked, appear for the working women of America! Sne had been in the mills and workshops of New York and New England, and had, with the conseunt of the employers, invited some of the female employes to come to Washington with her and tell the committee how they were situ- ated. There were some of these ladies pre: eut. Her companions testified universally to the batter wages re d in this than in the old country, and also of their better con- dition here. - A DESPERATE FIGHT. Frank Hatton Makes Some Sugges- tions to His rey. New Yoxk, Sept. 18.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee. ] —Ex-Postmaster General Frank Hatton, who has been on & tour through the west and northwest, was at the Kifth ave- nue hotel to-day. To a reporter he said: “Itis all nonsense for democrats to say they can carry any northern states, Michi- gan may not give as great a majority as usual for the republican ticket, but it and all other western states will go republican. The fighting ground is in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. It seems to me General Harrison has thus far decidedly the advantage, but the republicans should not relax any efforts.” “You think the democrats intend to make @ great strugglet” “Yes, the greatest they have ever wade, He also did |. They are in power and they will not hesitate at anything From buying a'vote to commiting a murder to retain it. They will work pat- ronage for all it worth, It behooves the republicans to bo vigilant, stand together and moet the enemy boldly. ' On the issue I believe we can win but not if we mistake the real battle ground.” i S — JOURNALISTS STRIKE. New York Star Employes and the Democratic National Committee.
