A Comparison of the Records of the Republican and Democratic Partios—The Campaign in Indiana, Blaine at Norwlch, Nonrwicn, Conn., Nov. 1.—The dwellers 10 the eastern end of this old Yankee monwealth took to themselves a holiday to hear James G. Blaine s issucs of the campaign in this to-day. Situ- ated ahout half between the coast on # south and the Mussachusetts orth, and within half. a day's for a well key land, the was dently so the people th folks to-day were scare other, overrun they 'been with stran From oy in little Rhode Islal for twi miles there were contributions to the crowd, and over from Hartford and from u # the railway lines the tide set in stron Eastern Connecticut had missed seeing Blaine on his homeward trip from abroad, but to-day the opportunity had been made for them und they avaiicd themsclyes of it t the last man who could leave his work. The demonstra- a8 the largest ever known her ine, accompanied by General Adam F, King, of Bultimore, arrived from New York by @ special train about noon. He was driven 10 Washington squure, in the center of the city, accompanied by the reception com mittea. ‘There he was met by Hon. Mo n G. Balkley, of Hartford, and Hon. Charles A. Russcll, of Killingly A procession of 20,000 men escorted the party to Williams park, where an audicnce of 25,000 had gath. ered. When the orator mounted the stand and presented himself at the rail he was cheered by thousands, who, when he had begun to speak, were too far away to hear him. Hon, H. H. Osgood presided. Ad- dressos were made by Messrs. Blaine, King, Bulkley und Russell. ~After discussing the tariff question Mr. Blaine said I have here speech by Mr. Bayard, sec retary of state, Mr. vard is a peculiar gentieman. | Laughter.] He is o gentleman of very high scntiment. In fact, there is nobody who speaks the English language 1 know since Joseph Surface who has 8o fine sentiments as Mr. Bayurd. [Laughter.] He clothes everything with seutiment, Why, in W he wanted to remark that we ation of 65,000,000 of people, is a very plain fact, and there are a great many people who know it besides Mr. Bayard, but Mr. B did not say it in this dinary way. Bayard says: “And now let us raise our minds and let us clevate our moral vision and think of what we arc—a nation of 65, 000,000 people.’” | Laughter.] Well, he might have got that fact off without such lofty con templation. But aside from all joking, Mr, Bayard's speech is devoted to the wicked conspiracy of the republicans—they have all taken that word; Mr. Thurman has taken that word—wicked couspiracy of the republicans that_entrapped Lord Sackville into writing a letter, and he calls down the wrath of the country upon these most wicked conspirators that got up the letter that Lord Sackville answered. Now 1 must say Bayard puts himself in a_very peculiar pos tion, becuuse if there were s wicked con- spiracy of leading republicans to entrap Lord Suckville into writing au imprudent. letter these couspirators ought to have been pun- ishied, but instead of that he punishes Lord Suekville. He says: “Here is a most un- principled, monstrous couspiracy against o man, and in consequence of this conspi against this man, and i sequence of this conspiracy which I can not get the T will send Lord Sackville back home and muke him bear the sins of these conspira tors.” That is a very remarkable state ment. They acknowledge that they were not quick to do it, but after ten diys, and after they had received advices and tele- grams from all parts of the country that if they did not start Lord Sackville the Irish vote would start |Laughter]—then Lord Suckville had to go. It will be an agrecable thing in England to Lord Salisbury to_know that President Cleveland’s administration deliberately weighed Lord Sackville against the Irish vote and started him. [Applause. ] 1 have another paper here speaking of con- spiracies and wicked things—the World, which 1 believe is counted a good democratic organ. Itis opposing Abram Hewitt, and this morning it reproduces the “Morey letter,” that was forged eight years ago against the lamented President Garfield when he was the republican_candidate, and now the World is belaboring Mr. Hewitt because he said it was a true letter and aided in putting the forgery into circulation, That i pretty amusing. |Laughter and cheers.] 1t opposed Abram Hewitt for mayor of New York because Mr. Hewitt lent his name as endorser of the rascally schemo of publishing a forged letter against aropublican candidate. Now, gentlemen, there is an old adage which I would not wish to quote ubout somebody failing out and honest men getting their dues. (Laughter.) But I did not pect to live till one section of the democratic party would want to swear off the respon- sibility of the Morey letter upon the other. There it stands, the audecious forgery re produced, a forgery all through; and one of the democrats who gave his high reputa- tion ana high character to put it in _ circulation was Abram 8. Hewitt, and it rises up against him now, not from the republicans but from the other democrats, and when the democrats all get to exposing each other that will be a terrible day. If they dg that, the republicans would not need to have stump speeches, or mass meetings, or flags, or any other paraphernalia to carry on the election. The election would carry on atself, Levity aside, speaking of Bayard's pos in regard to Lord Sackville, the democ party never has conducted the affairs of he country with Great Britain with dignity or with advantage to this country. Never. Aud if you will contrast the admiu- istration of General Grant and of Abraham Lincoln_in their conduct of affairs with Great Britain with what has been done by the democratic party you would sk no other issues. We owe to the democratic party and to its bad policy the loss of British Columbia, that province on the Pacific CoMt, which would give us the entire coast from Hehring Straits down to the Gulf of California. the bad diplomacy and surrender of th ocratic party we owe the reciprocity treaty of 1854, in which we got about one article to forty as_compared with the Canadians; o reciprocity treaty which was ninety nine de grees on one side, which was our oppouents’, and one degree on our side, We owe that to them. In fuct, it is not in the power of the democratic party to give a single treaty or diplomatio procedure they have made with Groat Britain which redounds to the honor of this country. Now, when General Grant was president, we had the most embarrassing, most trying, most delicate question in the world to settle with Great Britain, the question of the Alabama claims. The democratic paty could not huvo settled thoso clain ut, gentlemen, aut's administration set- tled those cluims with honor to this country, ‘with peace between both countries and with the mutual respect of both countries. The democratio party in the first place, has blustered with Great Britain and then sur rendered. The republican party has never blustered and has never had suything to sur- render. [Great applause.] They have al- ways conducted thewscives with diguity, They have maintained the bLomor of the country, and they had resvect from their opponents. ‘They have never sought war with Great Britain—never; and wheh they agreed with Great Britain, and made Great Britain agree 10-it, that we would submit the Alabama claims to arbitra- we guined not only a victory for our. bit we gained a victory for all bumanity, sud we did more than wny other com vk upon the town line on the easy tro loca! wel to find each lod . have o of authors, nation in the nineteenth century to bring to se the bloody arbitraments of the world did more to establish peace as a law and * between nations; we did more to add to the great glory of international arbitration, wdded the best chapter to international and Great Britain _respects the United States when under the republican party more than when under the democcatic party.

Powtraxn, nd, Nov. 1 ator John Sherman made his opening speceh in the In. diana campaign here to-day. The audience numbercd 15,000, and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.

I will tell you why. 1 will correet some of you and tell you why, and if I do not, you may correct me. Tu the first place, they said that the re- publican purty had hoarded up money in the had kept it idle and from ulation, and thut if they would gt hold of 1t they would statter it out to the neople, “They usvally do scatter whatever they get hold of. crs.| They said that the civil was incorrectly and fraudulently used and taken care of.

When ' the democratic party went into power we had about $1:4),- 000,000, kept there to pay the current ex- penses’ of the mation, and to maintain the credit of the country, and to_redeem bonds, cte. That was the amount that 1 fixed for that purpose, based on the experience of other nations, We had, besides that, various other deposits in the treasury, but it was not the moucy of the nation. It was held in trust for private individuals, and they had gold ana_ silver notes and greenbacks for it. Here is the statement of the secretary of the treasury, and it shows that the amount on hand now is £:20,200,060.00. We will throw off the 6 cents if the democrats think it is too much; that is still $2,000,000 more than what was in before the democratic party came into power, Sonow Iarraign the democratic party, 1 said they promised civil service reform. They were going to turn the rascals out. What rascals did they find to turn out{ Was there an_officeholder in Indiana who was turned out because he was a thief, rascal or defaultert Iam happy to say to you that when our administration went out all the books and papers were turned over to the democrats, and they didn’t find a singlo re- publican thief, defaulter or rascal m - office.

It1s shown by the sta- tistics of tho last four vears of the demo- cratic aaministration that they cost the peo- ple §90,000,000 more than the last four years of republican administration.

The trouble is that Mr. West simply told the truth. There is not a word in West's letter but what every man here knows to be trae. In_other words, all the policy of this administration is in favor of = England, and all that West smd was that Cleveland had ued his retalistion proclamation and that it was only for clection purposes. They suy that the letter to West was a forgery. I don't know about_that. Maybe it was; but the letter from Mr, West was not a forgery. 1f I had been in their place I would bhave said that West told the truth, and that we are standing by him through the wholo: but they have given you the sack, Sackville, and now all that remains for you to do is to give Mr. Cleveland the sack.

They Claim to Have Been lll-Treated By Von der Ahe. S1. Loris, Mo, Nov. 1.—A shout of rave swept through Sportsmen’s Park yesterday until Von der Alie threw up his hands in desperation and fled from the scene, The association champions are the maddest, most disgusted lat of ball-players that ever stood before a -bar and cursed a manager. The trouble is this At the annual meeting of the association 1,200 of the money received from minor league clubs was set aside as a prize to be divided among the players of the team winning the association hatmpion ship.

He has gouged every player in the team out 300, for that is what is coming to us.” Com Dolan, the catcher, gave Von der Ahe a terrible roasting to his face, while Big Jack Milligan, Robinson and O'Neill threatened to make a slaughter-house of the office on Grand avenue, e ) BURLINGTON CHANGES, The Election of a Successor to Gen- eral Manager Stone. Cincaco, Nov. 1.—H. B, Stone has been appointed second vice president of the Chi- cago, Burlingion & Quincy system. E. P. Ripley succeeds Mr. Stone as general mana- ger of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy cast of the Missouri river. The chunges took effect to-day. In mentioning the changes the Times prints the following: “The stand taken by Mr. Stoue on the labor question is said to have had nothing to do in bringing about the pres- ent change in Lis duties, as his course during the strike, whether prudent or imprudent, was sanctioned, and perbaps to some extent directed, by persons higher in authority. At the same time, it is the belief of many dis- interested persons that the change will have the effect of calming the prejudices that exist in certain quarters on account of the attitude of the management during the strike, and will therefore be beneficial to the company There is some speculation as to whether Pau Morton will succeed Mr. Ripley infthe posi- tion of traflic manager or remuin at the head of the freight department, 'This scems to be & question that is not yet definitely scttled.” G ] A Black Hills Feud. Raro City, Dak., Nov. 1.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—Word was brought here late last night by parties from Hill City that thirty cows belonging to a ranchman named Martin, living in Palmer’s Gulch, had been poisoned and that all had died.

Tavcoly, Neb, { Tele- gram to Tur Bek.]—In answer to John A, MeShane’s paster letter addressed to Chair. man Richards, of @ central committee and other republicans promiseuosly through- out the state and reccived to-day, Mr. Richaras replics as follows: Lixcowy, Nov. 1.—Hon. J. A. McShane, Democratic Nomimnee for Governor,—Dear Sir: Yours of the 20th inst_asking my sup- port and enclosing your letter of ucceptanco Wwith pasters with vour nawme thercon duly received and noted, Let us consider the question. Your letter does not compare well with your record which I have liad occasion to look up in the past two weeks. You claim to be a fricnd of the soldiers, If this be true why did you vote against granting an honorable discliarge to company O, First regiment, Sec- ond brigade, Nebraska militia, when not a dollar of appropriation was asked ! You grossly misrepresent the tax matter in Nebraska us compared with the states of Minuesota, lowa and Kansas, Every honest wan knows that our taxes in doilars and cents are less than in either of the states wentioned You are in favor of our present high license law but vigorously opposed its enact- ment. Iu your letter vou refer to detcctive asso- tions as contrary to good government. Yet when in the legislature in 1883 you voted to incorporate deteetive associations, Yeu speak of the benevolent institutions of our state, but voted against an appropriation for the institution vou eommend highly in your letter. You are in favor of the laboring man. Yet in the legislature you refused to vote for the mechanics’ lien law. 1 flnd nowlere in your letter a reference to the purity of the ballot, tho ve foundation stone of our government, It is publicly charged that your scat in congress was purchased. We Know that you are trying to buy your way to the goyernor's chair. Let me say that Tammany politics_are out of place in Nebraska, and your efforts to blacken the character of an lonest man like General Johin M. Thayer, that you may be the casier enabled to accom: plish your design, is something that you will regret in your maturer years. Because you are princely rich, for you and all your rela- tives arc rich and proud, is no_excuse to at- tack General Thayer in o slanderous and untruthful manner. To be sure, Gen- eral Thayer is poor and is not the owner of a roof to cover his head, but this is often looked upon as an in dication of honesty. Rascals in_high offices are seldom poor, Governor Thayer could have been £2,300 richer had he followed your advice and vetoed the gambling bill of last session. A few years henoe, when the dem- ocratic party shall have passed out of exist. ence and you have become & truthful and honest man, your official record will be a tender spot o you, but¥he grand old party ‘aselon for which will, with that ' col it 'has ever been’ moted, do by you ns it did by another gubernatorial can- didate we know of—obliterate tho record and say to you, * Go and sin no more.” Then when you are forever sure that men will not nold up your detective record, your monop- oly record and all your obnoxious doings, in- cluding your tear-stamed appeal for 'the gamblers and the record you have made for bribery to obtain a scat in Congress you can sit down with your family, and with a consciousnes: that your many shortcomings are forgiven. Thiuk over the past and you will then be in a mood to appreciate the four years of honest administration given to the great common wealth of Nebraska by that poor but honcst man, John M, Thayer. Very truly yours, L. D. RICHARDS. SRt Republican Rallies.

Cap- tain Jacobscn says that soon after the vessel struck on theisland she was boarded by uearly two hundred naked, dark-colored wreckers, who made a bold and daring at- tempt to take possession of the crew and rob the vessel.
