THE LAST OF THE BIG PARADES Loth Parties Turn Out in Force in Indianapolis, Chicago and New York — Blaine Speaks in Brooklyn. The New York Republicans. New Yok, Nov. 8.—Lower Broadway was thronged with people this afternoon to witness the start of tho republican parade of ‘business men. The weather was much the same as that of last Saturday, when the democratic business men paraded. The rain came pouring down steadily from out of Joaden skies; but this did not seem in any way to dampen the ardor of the paraders, Promptly at 1 o'clock the procession moved, with Grand Marshal Mitchell at the head. The American flag was omnipresent in the yanks of the paraders, and on the buildings and windows along the route of the procession multitudes of people thronged the route. Crowds of sight-seers stood on the roofs, in windows and doorways, and cheered the different or- anizations as they passed, and the paraders requently joined in. Immediately behind the marshal came a string of twelve horses in double, drawing a truck hearing the model of a steamship. The vessel was intended to represent the Dolphin, which was ab first de- clared to be unacceptable to the povernment, but is now considered one of tho best vesseks in the navy for coast defense. Alongsido the model were men in scamen’s uniform. They came from the docks of Ward's line of Havana steamships, and carried a banner in- scribed: ““The democrats killed John Roach, but his spirit goes marching on.” One of the most striking and unique fea- tures of the parade was the appearance pre- sented by the Americus club, of Pittsburg. There were 25 men in line. The men wore twoed suits and white hats and each carried an umbrella, around the outside of which were stars, while the ribs were alternately red, white and bluc, thus making the national flag. When they wheeled out of Liberty street to take their place iu the parade b hind the Philadelphia clubs, they were pre- ceded by a standard inscribed: ‘‘Penr nia is at your back.” When the Wall street business men swung mto Broadway from that street, headed by the Seventh rigiment band, there was a big shout from the crowd that lined either sido of the street. First came tbe coffeo ox- change, followed by the tobacco men, fe* Every man of the latter had a loaf of tobacco plant fastened to the lappel of his ' coat, or & mammoth plug suspended from ¢ hus neck. The brokers' club was one of the V1 features of the parade. Kach man carried a cane, to which was attached a small Ameri- can flag. Then came the members of the consolidated exchange, the other associations - filing into Broadway from Wall street, being the produce anda maritime exchanges, the ' custom house brokers, cotton exchange, A, i R. Whitney, Bowling Green, Harrison and Morton Workingmens' Protective associa- tion, and the coal trade. ‘Then came others in the following order: Lawyers, from Pine street; insurance men, from' Cedar street, and the machinery and railroad supply men, from Liberty street: jewelers, from Maiden Lane; wholesale drug, chemical and paint trade, hide aud leather trade, whole- sale boot and shoo trade, hardware trade West side merchants, War Veterans' asso- oiation, paper and associated trades, book- sellers and stationers, carpet and railway and steamship trades, dry goods, Columbin college students, umbréllas and parasols. Contral division, dry goods, hatters, furriers and straw goods, wholesale mulliners, gas fixtures employes, East, side business 'men, : building material, Up-Town Business Men’ | sssociation, New York university students | and dental students. ! Aboye Chambers street the scene beggars des-ription. Crowds obstructed the side- walks, and the winaows of the tall buildings on both sides of Broadway were filled with spectators. In Chambors street, for many blocks above, marching clubs waited for over two hours after the head of the procession had passed them before their right was un- ¢ covered by the organizations starting further down town. In fact, the extreme left of the line was not in wotion until after 5 o'clock. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed all along the line. Here and there, in a bewil- doring display of stars and stripes and repub- lican insignia, were occasional democratic decorations of bandannas, papers bearing Chinesc characters anp pictures of President Cleveland. The paraders flaunted their lit- tlo American flags and hissed at the bandannas and groaned at the vortraits of the demooratic candidates. The headquarters of the republican national committee were profusely decorated, and a banner bearing the portraits of the candi- dates waved over the cheering thousands. Messrs. Warner Miller, Hon. Levi P. Mor- ton, Colonel Cruger and General John C, Fremont reviewed the parade from a stand at the Worth monument, in Madison square, Hon. James (. Blaine watched the pageant from one of the windows of the Fifth Avenue hotel, and afterwards expressed regret that ho had been unable to get to the reviewing stand. It is estimated that at least fifty thousand men participated in the parade, ' While approaching the reviewing stand & ‘broker named William J. Osbourne, one of the paraders, dropped dead and was borne away. . Shortly above the reviewing stand the parade wes disbanded. . . The democratic erude to-night started an hour later than scheduled. The crowds were immense. The sight of tens of thousands of men, all bearing torches or lunterns, bafiles description. The paraders were fantastically decorated and bedecked with flags and ban- danas in every conceivable way. They moved along twolve abreast, but wene frequently blocked by the crushing crowd, whom the police scemed powerless to handle, Enthusiastic Brooklynites. Naw York, Nov. 3.—The republican cam- paign in Brooklyn closed to-night at the Clermont avenue rinlk with a speech by Hon, James G. Blaine, under the auspices of the organization of the Irish protectionists. The structure has a capacity to accommoaate 5,000 persons, and they were there to-mght, and more, too. Hundreds were unable to galn admission. Judge Rooney presided and essayed a specch, which was cut short by shouts for Mr. Blaine, who aavanced and #poke substantiaily as follo Idid not come here to-night to make & lengthy speech, but briefly to sum up the case. Aro you in favor of a protective tariffi |Cries of “Yes, yes.| Then vote for Harri- son. |(Cries of “We wilL.”] Aro you in favor of paying pensions to deserving soldiers! [Cries of 'Yes.") Then vote for Harrison, |Cries of “We will vote for him."] Are you agamst a president§ using the velo as if "he were 8 voter in tho ‘Senate or house of represeutatives! (Criesof “Yes, we are.”] Then vote against Cleve- land. [Cries of “We will"| Are you: in favor of a_ thorough American system, through and through? [Cries of “We are.”] Then vote for Har- rison. Are you in favor of using the surplus in the treasury of the United States to pay the public debt! [Shouts of *Yes."| Thon vote for Harrison. [“Yes, we will."] "Are you against taking $60,000,000 out of the public treasury and loaning it to favorites without interest! [Cries of “No."] Well, I have something more to say on that point, for I have learned something eince I’ last " spoke on it. Not on have they taken $60,000,000 and loaned it to pet houses in the United States, but they have done it through the ageney of the bank established by Mr. Jor- dan and by the late Mr. Manning, They have made them & sort of government bu- reau. Th ve them $1,100,000 us a fixed balance to call their own, and then they have allowed them to peddle out of this $60,000,000 to other banks, and b;; that 'means triod to get a largo numberof banks through- out the country to give them their busincss ; and I say here that Louis XIX. of France, or Peter the Great of Russia, or Napoleon a his most absolute period, would never have dared to treat the trersury of their respect- ive countries in that way—never. (Choers.] And I wonder it has not made a more pro- found sensation in this country, They have said—such papérs as the. New York Times and tho Evening Post—that Secretary Sher- wan dia the same. Well, I have been deny- ing that a good while, and this morning Iread a speech from Secretary Sherman himself, and he explained exactly the differ- ence. When Secretary Sherman made that marvelous loan of 4 per cents in 1879, they were sold through banks and paid for at the bank's counter, The money was merely in transit between the man who paid for the fours aud the man who got his pay for the surrendered fives and sixes, But these men have ~taken the money in the treasury, and against every provisfon of law have dipped their hands up to their elbows and helped their friends. The most corrupt thing you can conceive is to take the money of the ‘government and give it out to banks who can use it, and use their influence for the party in power, 1saw, to my regret, in an Irish paper an accusation made that the extradition treaty had been injuriously amended by & republican committee, and reported to the senate by a republican committee. I state positively, and I stato of my own knowledge, that there is not_one particle of foundation' for = tho allegation, not the slightest. And that like the fishery treaty, which surrendered our rights in the fish- eries, this extradition treaty is supported in the senate by democratic semators, and by them alone. [Applause. | Referring to the republican parade which he witnessed to-day, Mr. Blaine said Tt was the most mighty political procession that ever trod the streets of New York [ap- plause), and compared with that which the president of the United States came here Iast week to review—why, that was a picket guard merely to the republican army; and, gentlemen, that procession is prophe 1t means that the people of New York are aroused, not on old party Lines, not an ol fashioned fight between democrat and repub- tican, but a fight between protectionist and anti-protectionist—a fight between protec- tion and free trade. [Prolonged cheers. | Before the people were dismissed this tel- gram was read: INpiIaNaroLts, Ind., Nov, 3.—W. H. Grace, Brooklyn, New York: Please express to the Irish-American Protectionist associ tion in Brooklyn my sincere thanks for their cordial greeting and hopeful prophesies. The independence of spirit and devotion to principle which they have shown in this cam- paign have been as conspicuous as they are creditable to their intelligence and man- hood. BEXJAMIN HARRISON, After the meeting Blaine was driven to a mass meeting in Grand Army hall, in the eastern district of Brooklyn, where he made a short speech, saying in part: ‘We must stand together in the election. This union carries the flag of the union in- stead of the dirty bandana, for, without any disrespect to the candidate for vice presi- dent, I think that one of the most extraor- dinary campaign badges is a pocket handkerchief that a snuff-taker uses in his extremities. Yes, T prefor the banner of the United States, which was borne up the graat avonuo of Now York by 60,000 people, and under that flag, and under the of protection, we shall win a great victor next Tuesday. After this specch Mr. Blaine was con- ducted to a skating rink in the outskirts of the city. His fatigue was upparent, and he spoke but a few minute: At Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov, 3.—General Harrison had an unusually large number of callers to- day. The better part of the day was put in by the general answering his voluminous mail. Among his replics wus one to the three Rector boys, who sent him a jack rabbit yesterday. He was solicited for a copy of the letter, which is as follow: My Dear Little Friends: Your letter of October 81, telling me that you intend to send me a jack rabbit for luck, has been received, If there s any luck in & rabbit's foot, as 80 many of the colored people in the south are said to believe, then I think your argu- ment that there must be more luck ina whole rabbit is not a “‘non-sequitor.” You can ask vour father to explain what that means, The rabbit came yesterday and furnished a good deal of amusement to my little grandson. In the last number of Judge there is an illus- tration of what happened to a little boy who had a jack rabbit presented to him, which will amuse you, I think. With kind regards for youall, I am, very truly yours, B. HArrrsox. ‘The chairman of the democratic central committee sent a letter toeach of the demo- cratic county chairmen to-day, of which the following is & copy : “‘Instruct all inspectors to watch that re- publicans do not vote double tickets on Tues- day. The Journal this morning contains full instructions how such a thiug can be done. The article professes to charge the democrats with this, but we believe the real object is to instruct republicans how to commit this fraud.” The republican committee, carly in the day, sent the following letter to its county chairmen: ““The democrats injyour county are planning to have double votes cast. There is no mis- take about this. Warn our people quick, Let the ballots be challenged. Print ana put up postars at polling places offering a reward of $100 by this committee for the apprehen- sion and conviction of any person who votes double tickets. Print copy of our ticket and post at voting places. Force the fighting now.” The republican committee also this even- ing mailed a notice to every town and city in the state, addressed to the public, announc- ing @ reward of $100 for the apprehension and conviction of any one who, at the com- ing election, votes or attempts to vote more than one ballot; circulates false aud spu- rious republican tickets; alters, forges or mutilates tally sheets; delays the election returns or changes the ballot boxes; and the committee calls upon every good citizen to see that the laws are strictly enforced and a {ree ballot and free count secured. Early in the ovnnlns the streets were blockaded with thousands of people, to wit- ness the two great parades which had been announced. Fears of a confliot had largely abated during the week, owing to the extra- ordinary precautions employed by the au- thorities and managers of both partios. The beslof{ood feeliug prevailed everywhere, and so far as can be learncd at this late hour no casualties of any kind occurred. The re- pubtican procession numberei-about forty- seven hundred men, and was reviewed by General Harrison from the balcony of the New Denison hotel. —— Thurman in Ohio. NersosviLue, O., Nov. 3,—This mining city, with 6,000 inhabitants, gave Judge Thurman an enthusiastic welcome, and to its population was added a great number of peo- ple from other places in the vicinity, When Judge Thurman mounted the stand at 3 o'clock probably nine thousand people were massed in the vicinity, and he was greeted with great applause. Ho spoke briefly upon the subject of the tariff, and then turned to the subject of capitol and labor. He said in part: “First, [ want to say that I am not here to breed discontent; I am not here to set the employer against the laboring man, or the laboring man against the employer. Iam here simply to preach justice on "all hands, and that every man shall have an honest and fair reward for his labor. There is an annual accumulation of wealth in the world, and that accumulation is wholly—I repeat it and emphasize the word—is wholly the result of human labor, There is not & writer of political economy who ever wrote 8 line on this subject that was worth reading, that has not afirmed this to be the truth, and we know it by re- flection. The dificulty about the production of wealth 1s easily solved, but there i1s another uestion that is more diffcult by far, and that is the question of the distribution of wealth, This is the great problem that agi- tates society all over the christian world. This annual product of wealth is distrib- uted between three classes of men. First, the capitalist, who lends money to carry on business, and if he charges a reasonable rate nobody complains. Next comes the manu- facturer or employer, who is also entitled to o fair reward, and if he is content with fair d honest profits nobody in the length and breadth of the land begrudges him those profits. Lastly we come to the laboring man, the man whose brawny arms, level head and skill eocables him to r.lle up the wealth, and that man entitled to his fair reward, or the script- ures are a lie, Our opponents are accus- tomed to sneer wt what they call political economy. They sneer at science and sci- entific men, as if science was anything in the world but truth, If these men will sneer at science, will they sneer at the words of the Almighty God himself, who has de- ciared ~that the labover is worthy of his hire! The speaker said that the sentence, “In the sweat of his face shall be earn his daily bread," was the great- est ever conferred upon man- kind, as it made man industrious and irtelli gent, and saved him from being a poor mis- erable loafer. Isay, therefore, that thie laboring man is entitled to his reasonable hire, and if h does not _receive it he is a wronged and ¢ frauded man, * Our oppotents are proaching to you that the way for _Kou to. get good wages s ' to have a high protective. tariff; to tax you on everything you earn, for that is what it comes to.” I do not belieye that. I am no friend of violent means, but I tell you that laboring men’s organizations, when properly oconducted and rightly managed, have done more to sccura good wages than ll the tarift laws that ever have been or ever will be passed. Your way, then, to get good wagos is mot by getting 'down on your knees to congress and praying for high tariff, Your way to get good wages is to maintain your manhood. Other peopie can make combinations, can form trusts, that word which has become so odious. Other people can do that. 1 would like to kuow why men who produce all the wealth in this world cannot organize for their own protec- tion. [Great aplause.] Judge Thurman then spoke of the charge made by political opponents that the demo- cratic party is the enemy of the laboring man, and went on at some length to deny that imputation, ashe has in other spoeches. As ho was closing his remarks some one in crowd ealled out for him to say something about Minister West, ta which the judge re- plied: “AQlTean say about the West lotter is that 1if I had a boy and he was such a fool as to b entrapped as West was, I would disown him. (Cheers,] Whether Mr. Wost is a knave or,a fool Ido not know, but he is onc or the othef too much te rep- resent the Hritish government at Washing: ton, and Grover Cloveland has told him so iven him his walking papers. Judge Thurman and party left for Columbus. Chicago’s Demonstrations. Citicaco, Nov: 8,—This has been a day of parades for Chicago. Both parties took an inning, and, as cach was desirous of excel- ling the other, the result was very creditable to both. The republicans began massing their forces at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. A most creditable showing followed, the esti- mate of those inline being 23,000, It re- quired nearly two hours for the procession to As usual tho organizations participating waiked eight abreast. The entire route through which the parade passed was lined with people. In the evening the democratic clans gath- ered. A briliiant parade followed, which was enhanced by the presence of numerous torches and a fair display of fireworks. As in_the day time, the streets were erowded with people. An estimate of the number in the procession is 15,000, and the time spent in passing, including soveral stops, was tvio hours. Rewards Offered in Indiana. INpiaNaroLts, Nov. -Chairman Jewett, of the democratic state central committee, ght received a telegram from Chairman Brice, of the national committee, saying that a number of citizens of New York, moved by the Dudley letter, resolved to place at the disposal of the committee §20,000 for a vigor- ous prosecution of every man iu Indiana who would pratice Dudley’s methods. Mr, Jewett has issued the following offer of reward: Five thousand dollars for the arrest and conviction of William W, Dudley upon the charge of attempting to bribe, con- spiring to bribe, or inducing others to bribe voters in_Indiana at the November election, 1888, One thousand dollars each for the arrest and counviction of any number of persons, not oxceeding five, who, in ac- cordance with the plan set forth in Dudley's letter, have conspired or confederated to bribe voters. One hundred dollars each for any number of persons, not exceeding 100, who, in accordance with said letter, shall bribe or attempt to bribe voters. The Weather Indications.

Towa—Fair weather, followed by light rains, eooler in the western portion, station- ary in eastern roruon; southerly winds, be- coming variable. Dakota—Light rains, colder, winds shift- ing to northwesterly. e Police Commissioners. ‘The board of fire and police commissioners met last night. The charges, of neglect of duty, preferred by ex-Officer Grogg against Sergeants Mostyn and Sigwart were di missed, a8 there was no ground for com- plaint. The charge of being found asleep on duty agaiust Officer Demorest was also dis- missed, owing to sickness in the family of the officer, which prevented him from ob- taining the required rest, A Train Robbed By One Man. NEw ORLEANS, Nov. 8.—The United States express messonger ou the train on the New Orleans & Norwestern railway which ar- rived hore this morning was robbed at 5 a. m, between Laoey and Derby stations, fifty miles from this city. The express oficials refuse to state the amount of the robbery, but it is understood that the loss 1s between $0,000 and §50,000. Botween the_ stations above named the robber got on and at the point. of ‘a rovolver placed sacks over tho eads of tho baggagemaster and expross agent. After securing the contents of tho safo the robber pulled the bell rope and Jumped trom the train and escaped. 19 JERN 98N A Plattsmouth Democrats. Prarrsmouty, Neb., Nov. .—[Special Tel- egram to Tam Brk,]—The democrats fired their last round hero to-night. The speak- ing took place_in Rockwood hall and was a purely local affair. F. E. White, J. C. Imore aud Mathow Gering were the speakers, As usunl the crowd was small and contained hearly as many republicans us democrats, Confessed Judgment. Gra¥p IsLaxp, Neb, Nov. 3.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—T. J. Hurford, a hardware merchant of this city, to-day con- tessed judgment in favor of his wife for 2,500 and closed his doors. ~ Liabilities about $2,000; assets, unknown. He has been hard pressed for some time, but his embarrass- ment was thought to be only temporary. Business Troubles. Texsoro, Mass., Nov. 3.—The Rotary Shuttle Sewing Machine company have gone into insolvency with liabilities of $40,000. Bostox, Nov., 8.—Henry S. Dewy, assignee in the case of William D. Forbes, iate presi. dent of the Navional bank of Redemption, says that the liabilities can be placed at #200,000 and a nominal assets at about $75,000, e Locomotive Engineers. Scribner: The engzineer whose hu- manity is not hardened has his feelings harrowed occasionally by pedestiians who risk their lives on the track. Tramps and other careless persons aro 80 numerous that the casuul passenger in_a locomotive cab generally cannot ride fifty miles without seeing what seems to him a hair-breadth escape, but which is nevertheless treated by the engineer as a commonplace occurrence. These heedless wayfarers do, however, occasionally carry their indifference to danger too far, and they are tossed in the air like feathers. Doubt- less there are those who, like the fire- man who talked with the tender-hearted young l-dg, regret the killing of a man chiefly ecause it musses up the en- Rine 50;” but, taking the fruternity asa whole, warmth of heart and tenderness of feeling may be called not only well developed but prominent traits of char- acter. The great strike on the Chica- g0, Burlington & Quincy road last spring, which proved to have been ill- advised, would e been possible only in & body of men actihted by the most loyal friendship. Undoubtedly a large conservative element in the brother- hood of engineers believed. the move injudicious, but they joined i it out of an intense spirit of fidelity to their brethren and leader: e f Hon. William . F'. Cody. (Buffalo Bill), ac- companied by & number of En‘,ush lords, en route for the mountains on a big hunt, will arrive here Monday morning, and remain soveral days, the guest of George Canfield. DEMOCRACY'S GREAT NIGHT. They Turn Out En Masse and March Themselves Tired, VERY CREDITABLE PROCESSION. Rockets, Roman Oan- dies, Red Fire and Shouts of “Four! Four! Four Years « More !"—8ide Incidents. Fish Horns, The Democratic Parade. The democratic hosts had a final rally last night and took their fill of the great Ameri- can privilege of yelling one's throat dry and carrying a torch amid a flood of enthusiasm and kerosene, The streets began to fill long before the hour of the parade, and the glowing an- nouncements of an extraordinary display brought thousands from quiet homes to wit- ness the promised spectacle and have thoir corns trampled under foot by the jostiing crowd. The unterrified responded well to the urgent appeals of their leaders and gave a demonstration respectable as to numbers and brilliancy. The black empyrean was filled with sizz, bang and 'rah, and the marching columns were wrapped in a blaze of many-colored glory. Red lights flashed up, flooded the streots for a moment and died out; rockets and candles filled the air with balls and streams and sparks of fire in mimic combat; the marchers howled as though in Rome instead of at home, and tho bands tried bravely to out-blare the din aud confusion of the wild and excited men. The display was creditable to the democracy and a fitting baptism for the hundreds of promis- mg buds who were drafted into the servece. The McShane Flambeau club was honored with a place at the head of the column and marched up Farnam street, thence to How- ard, Ninth, Douglas, Fifteenth, Webster, Sixteenth, 'Farnam and Eleventh, counter- marched on Farnam to Fifteenth, thence to Cass and around Jefferson square, where the procession disbanded. The various clubs fell in line from side streets, making a track of light long drawn out. Many of the clubs be- came too weary to finish’ the march and dropped out of line before the place of dis- banding was reached. The procession started at about 8 o'clock, Chief Marshal Riley being. in the lead. The First division was marshaled by Judge Brandies. The Union band led ana was followed by the McShane Flambeau Club, sixty-five uniformed wen under com- mand of Captain Jame# B: Fogerty Military band followed, then came Samo- 925 men, wmarshaled by These were followed by the switchmen, 32 strong, under command of K.

Whitcomb turned oat 156 men, Marshal MoGinpis was.at the head of 125 men from the Nin| rd, THE TRD' BIvIsION ‘was composed of‘the Omaha club, the Third Ward ctub and ‘#¥e Bhalr democratic club, The first mentionpgd was probably 200 strong, made a noat but not gaudy appearance, with white plugs with bandanfia_trimmings, and a flaming rod badge. THéy Aid a great deal of the yelling for the procession. The Third Ward club embraced within its ranks in the neighborhood of 150 men and boys, uniformed, m the Blair club there were fifty-six men, ‘who had bandannas flying from their torch staffs. The aide was John Drexel, who sat his fiery untamed steed like a true, old Roman warrior. with 26 men r command of Marshal THE POURTI DIVISION. The fourth division was made up of the Seventh ward club, the Douglas precinet club and the South Omaha club. The Seventh warders were out 150 strong, with a cardboard placard bearing the talis- manic words, “‘McShane, he's the wan for a uniform.” There were a hundred or more in the Douglas precinct club, with no distinguish- ing features. The Old Hickory club of South Omaha looked it in the fullest sense of the word. They created a good deal of very loud en- thusiasm. Mayor Dennis was the aide. THE FIFII DIVISION was commanded by John Eunis. headed by the Bohemian band. After thom came tho MecShane Invinc- ibles, over 200 in mumber, with their at- tractive costumes, Thoy were conceded to be the handsomest company in line. They woro zouave uniforms. They were com- manded by Captain Foley. ‘The J. K. Boyd club numbered about 200 and were distinguished by white plug hats, embellished with bandanas and cards bear- ing the initials *'J. E. B. B. C." James Nor- ton commanded. They were followed by the Second ward club, numbering avbout 120, under the leader- ship of Mat Ruland. They carried brooms, on which were tacked small flags. The Gate City drum corps accompanied them. The Frances Cleveland club comprised twenty-one girls, mostly under fifteen years, They nestled in five hacks and wore red tur- bans on their heads and a bandana on their breasts, Miss Shaw was their leader. The stone pavers numbeged about soventy men and were commsuded by Alexauder McDonald. y The Italian club were 180 strong and were under the leadership of W. ¥. Higginson. The Park Forest and Oak Hill clubs num- bered about 200 and were under the command of Frank Kaspar, The sixth division, composed of the visit- ing clubs, did not meet at Howard street, as designated, but they were all there. The Lincoln Democratic club were the guests of the Samosets, and marched in pro- cession with the Lincoln Democratic Flam- beau club, and the Cleveland and Thurman clubs, uumbering in all about 500, and headed by the Lificoln mulitary band. Dr. R. P. R. Miller and qu)llin Blake were the marshals, > ‘The Washington coubty democrats num- bered about oue hubdred and fifty and were in charge of A.

Williams., Their ziave' uniformed club was about the “P“Mtlg‘“"i and best drilled in charge of Captain M. the parade, and w; W. Murray. The Frethont band furnished the necessury musid, 3 “The Council Bluffs coutingent was about an hour late through having missed the train, but joined in the procession gt bleventh street and numbered about thred hundred members of the Young _Mona’ Detnocratic club. They marched behind Dalby's Cornet band and were in charge of Messrs. Bob Huntington and Peter Peterson. The Papillion club was 120 strong and was taken care of by Charles Behrent as marshal. Plattsmouth, Missouri Valley and Glen: wood clubs were also represénted, but owing w0 the division being scattered throughout the parade, it was impossible to get their numerical strength or the names of their marshals. There was nothing unusual in the tran- sparencies, the majority of them being small and illuminating ouly stereotyved sen- tences. There were two large transparencies which were carried on.a couple of Wagons. — Procession Notes, The bandanuas were plentiful, . The Omaha wheel club made a’ fine show- ing. Small boys contributed their isual repre- sentation in the parade. : Council Blufts was well represented both It was in the line of march and ationg the specta- ors The switchmen turned out in round num- bors and cut a conspicuous figure in the pa- rade, Judee Aylesworth, of Council Bluffs, was anong the spectators who. viewed the pa- rade. E. W. Whitmore, of the Fifth ward was slightly injured by coming in contact with a streot car on Farnam stroet near kleventh. The Lincolu democrats turned out 800 strong and made a fine showing.

THE COMMISSIONERS' RULING, Discrimination an Inter-State Ques« tion Beyond the Control of the Doard—Hawkeye Hap- penings. J The Towa Jobbors, Drs Moryes, o, Nov. 8. [ Special Telogran to Tur Bee.]~The noted cases brought by the Jobbers of Davenport, Dubuaue and Bur- lington before the railroad commissioners were decided to-day. They charge the roads with conspiracy to maintain high and extor- tionate rates, and discrimination against Towa citics. The commissioners find as fol- lows: 1. The charge of conspiracy tainod. 2. The charges of discrimination being in- ter-state, are beyoud the control of the board, 8. The charge of unjust extortionate rates is fully proven by ovidence and sustained by the board, which adopts the ratos in the first, sccond, third, fourth and fifth clas and A, B, ©C, D, and s of the commissioners’ schedule of 28, with the addition of the lumber in the Burlington case, the western ification having been adopted in lieu of the Illinois classification, The following is a brief summary of the opinion: The evidence on_the question of discrim- ination in inter-state rates against lowa shippers develops & system of ratos so un- just as to be a serious blow at the business property of those thus engaged within' tha The low obtained b fowa jobbers from the n markets are neutralized by the high local rates within the state, 8o that the fifth class rate in and the fourth class rate out are largely in excess of the class from Chicago to lowa points, and our dealers are pl d at such a disadvantage a8 to dostroy largely their profits and seri- ously cripple their business. In fact, soma of them declare that unless relief comes i a reduction of high local rates they will b compelled to leave the state and'go wher they can do business at a profit. In man instances the discrimination in rates in favor of Chicago merchants arc 20 and per cent, and representatives of Iowa business houses find themselves at such a disadvantage as to be unable to com- pete unless at a sacrifice; and the result is that our business interests in lowa are lan- guishing and the field given up largely to Chicago dealers. What is truc of the lowa jobbing interest is largely the case in rofer- ence to the manufacturing intorests of tho state. The products of western manufac- turers enjoy the benefits of low rates from the east and also those from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Our state is in ed with the product of the skill of the workmen of those states laid down at our doors at lower rates than Towa manufacturers can transport their goods from the manufactory i lowa to points with- in our own state under the present lowa distance iff: hence Towa industries are fow and far between, and struggling for oxist- ence against great odd and in some in- stances shut down or noving trom the state to preserve an existence. From a careful comparisou of these rates and the testimony in this investigation, tho commissioners are of the opinion that the charge of conspiracy made s not sus tained, there having been no i dence' offered as to this allegation. The proof of discrimination was confined entirely to @ comparison botween stato and interstate business, over which the commissioners have no jurisdiction, and while the commissioners are unablo to grant relief against inter-state discriminations they are of opinion that o _fair reduction of local rates within the state is the proper remedy to protect lowa interests aganst the injus- tice they are subjected to from discriminating inter-state rates. The opinion is signed by Commissionors Smith and Campboll. The other commis- sioner, Mr. Dey, says he has been threatened by the jobbers in caso he did not give his opinion before November 3, and o he do- clines to state his views till after the election, Mrs. Brown Indicted. Masox Ciy, Ta,, Nov. 8.—[Spocial Tele- gram to e Bre.|—The grand jury, after twelve days cf careful examination of writ- ten and verbal testimony, finds au indict- ment against Mrs. Sarah E. Brown for poisoning her father-in-law and youngest son. Tho crime was committod March 1, while the family, consisting of five, wero scated around the supper tables. They were all taken violently ill. On the following day Hiram L. and Jesse died. Diagnosing the case, the physicians concluded that the symp- toms much resombled poisoning. On search- ing house a hox of *‘Rough on Rats" was found. The uffair remained an unsolved mystery for two weeks, when public senti- grow so strong as to demand the_coroner to take proceedings in the matter. The body of Hiram L. Brown was exhumed ntto chemist in Chicago for ex- amination. He reported that he found arsenic in large quantities. The jury, after ys of examination, rendered a singular verd ict, in which it suspicioned Hiram E. Brown as being the guilty person. Brown, 1w order toclear himself, sccured the services of Detective H. H. Chaflin, who accumulated enough evidence to causo the arrest of Mrs, H. &5 Brown us being tho one” guilty, but in proscnting the matter before Justice Cum- mings, he found no grounds on whioh to bind her over. Much additional evidence was secured by tho grand jury. A warrant will be issued for her arrest. The trial will not occur until December, This Morning's Fire. The department was called out at 2:30 o'clock this morning to the corner of Six- teenth and Izard streets to suppress a blazo that consumed a barn belonging to Mrs. Carroll, & widow lady. Two horses were burned'to death, and & lot of hay and other foed consumed.’ The property was insured for $700. ———— Invention of the 8hot Tower. Chicago Mail; There was once a me- chanic at Bristol, England, who had a quoer dream. Watts was his name, and he was by trade a shot-maker. The making of the little leaden pellets was then a slow, laborious, and, conse- quently, costly process, Watts had to take great bars of lead and pound them out into sheets of a thickness about equal to the diameter of the shot he desired to make. Then he cut the sheets into little cubes, which he placed in a re- volving barrel or box and rolled until the edges wore off from the constant friction and the little cubes becamo spheroids. Watts had often racked his brain trying to devise a better schembe, but in vain. Finally, after an evening spent with some juily companions at the ale- house he went home and turned into bed. He soon fell into a deap slumber, but the liquor evidently did not agree with him for he had a bad dream. He thought he wae out again with the “boys.” They were all trying to find their way home when it began to rain shot. Beautiful globules of lead, pol- ished and shining, fell in a torrent and compelled him and his bibulous com- panions to draw their heavy limbs to a place of shelter. In the morning, when Watts arose, he remembered the dream. He thought about it all day, and wondered what shape molten lead would take in falling a distance through the air. At last, when he could rest no longer, ried o ladleful of the hot metal up into the steeple of the church of St. Mary of Redclilfe and dropped it into the mout below. Descending, he took from the bottom of the shallow pool several handsful of perfect shot, fur s ‘wrlor to any he had ever seon. Walts’' fartune was made, for he had conceived the idea of the shot tower, which has e since boen the only means employed in the manufacture of the little missiles 80 much used in war and sporle K is not suse
