This county is put down generally in republican estimates at 7,000 plurality. The democrats expect to carry this county and Cuyuhog: for the legislature. In this county there reason for this in the fact that an independ- ent ticket hus been nominated, ostensibly to rebuke the alleged *'boodler” nominees of the other parti McKinley at Cieveland, CrLeveLAND, Nov. 6.—Governor McKinley closed his campaign in this cioy tonight, imd his recention was the most enchusiastic ever accorded a public man in this city.

Loxpox, Nov. 8.—The parliamentary sec- retary of the ouial office, Mr. Sydney Buxton, in the House of Commons today, replying to questions regarding the dis- turbance in Matabeleland, said the latest in- formation received was that King Lobengula wasnot a fugitive, but was suill hostile, According to Mr. Buxton the war cannot be said to have sended and noaction take on the case will prejudice the government’ final decision as to the future Matabeloland. Mr. Gladstone, replying to Mr, Labouchere, said that the government had no intention of setting apar! day for discussion of the Matabele question, as Mr. Labouchere pro- posed. Mr. Labouchere then said that he would take steps at the earliest opportunity to ob- tain a day for the discussion of the simple matter.

When such an expulsion order is issued a decree stating the cause is sent by the min- ister of justice and of the interior to the for- eign minister or diplomatic agent in Rio of the nation to which the accused belongs, This order fixes the time when the person to be expelled must leave the country. If the ac- cused is allowed to postpone his departure till his property can be disposed of, the gove ernment requests the foreign agents to see that it is done promptly, but in case no delay isallowed or the foreign agents refuse, the property is disposed of by the federal courts, the owuer having the vight to be represented by counsel during the enforced winding up of his affuirs.

The only plea in defense of these proceed- ings can be made in the federal courts and must be coufined to proving the Brazilian citizenship of the accused person. If this defense is not successful the decree of ex- vulsion will be carried out, but if the plea is sustained the accused person can sue the country for whatever .damages he has sus- tained. The government may change the decree of expulsion into one of imprisonment it iv sees fit. But certain foreiguers are placed under terms of equality with Bra- zillau citizens aud cannot be expolied under i this decreo. They are those who have Bra- zilian wives, or are widowers with Brazilian childven, or are holders of real estate in the country. PEIXOTO'S NEW SHIPS, Brazit's President May Have Trouble In elng Mis Vesanls to Sen. New Yok, Nov. 6.—The work of fitting out a new navy for Brazil goes on as fast as men can do the work. The Dastroyer is n the dry dock tol boing scraped and made ready for service. Prepara tions on El Cid s omple tion, and this afternoon work was began on the Brittana. The other ships will follow and it is said that November 14 the fleet will be ready for sea. It is said that negotiations are pending for the Ward L steamship City of W at the oftic or deny only nearing shington, but no one at the line would either afirm tho story this morning. The real dificulty is a possiblo complication which may rise from the action on the part of the Erickson Coast Defense company, who threatens to get an injunction to prevent the closing of the sale of the Destroyer. On the other hand, M. Flint said today that he anticipated no serious troubledn regard to the Destroyer or ler gun uud he confidently expects she will put to sea with El Cid. Nozne of theships bought by Flint & Co. for the Brazilian government, with the excep- tion of ISl Cid and the Feisen have as yet been registereb by their owners at the cus- tom house, although they will probably will be it thoy sail from this port. There is reason to believe that vessels of Peixoto’s fleet will allowed to leave port when the time ling arrives, Itis now rumored t Collector Kilbreth is quite likely to refuse Ul Cid and the other ships clearanco papers on the grounds that the crews ve been se- cured sfrom American sailors and with the exprass purpose of going to Brazil to fight. This is contrary to the United States laws. MOVEMENTS AT BOSTON.

Many prominent republic nd democrats were there, chiefly from a desire to see and hear Nelraska's record-breaking senator in the line of 1ong-distance oratory. The senator had his speech sith him in black and white and read extracts from it occasionally, but the crowd seemed to stand in wholesome awe of the bulky pamphlet, and s frequently necessary to assure them tivwas not all coming on this ocasion. The manner in whick the senator would intro. duce a section was as follows: I began my speech at 5:1 lock, and [ reached this poiut at about 12:80," or whatever the houx might have happened to be. V. O. Strickler called the meeting to order and introducea as chairman, George A. Magney, the populist nominee for county Judge, who said that the princlipal factor in the campaign had been a desire for a change, caused by general dissatisfaction and dise rust, He said that Senator Allen was the repree scutative of his party. and stood foremost in the cause of reform in this state. He then introduced Nebraska's junior senator, who was accorded an ovation as his tall form ad« vanced to the front of the stage. When the applause subsided the senator plunged at once 1nto a discussion of tho sils ver question. He said that it had been talked for months that the repeal of the so-called iniquitous Sherman act would bring about a cessation of the existing hard times and restore the confidence that s0 sadly lacking; that it would bring out money fromits hiding place. Congress had oeen called together in extraor- dinary session and for ninety days had wrestled with that question, and thelaw had finally been repealed. During those ninety days the populist purty had made itself con- siderably more respected than it was when the session began. The speaker said thatg humble as he was, ho had beensclected as the one to give Mr. Clevelana and his party an object lesson, and it was a lesson that the president did not care to have res peated, He had satisfied himself more than evew during this session that the power of Loms bard and Wall strects absolutely controlled legislation in the halls of congress, and told how little the moneyed aristocracy of tha country caved for the laborfig man and the general welfare except so far as it enabled them to put more money in their own pocky ets. The English money power reached the western Ame siness man through o wonderful system of ramificatioa. ‘The Euglish banker reaches the New York vauker, who in turn touches the Omaha banker, who taps the country banker, who in turn gets hold of the country merchant, who is probably indebted to him, and so the fulse sentiment agaiust silver is moulded. Duty at the Pol He dectared that any voter who did not go 0 the polls and do his full duty at the ballot box as dictated by his conscience was une worthy the right of suffrage. In discussing parity he wanted to know what the parity was between a pear and a potato, insisting that there was just us much as there was between gold and silver, and that pavity between ths money*metals covld only be established by an act of congress signed by the president. He dectured that free coinage would have relieved suffering all over vhe country,would have given idle thousands work and brought sunshine and happmess everywhere. He said the republican party advocated the tar- ift as the only means of making the lot of the American laboring man beuter thun that of his European brother, ‘The demoerats, on the other hand,” said speuker, “claim the opposite ana say the turiff is a fraud and a delusion. And so it is. I is u tax on the poor man, while the count- less thousands of the rich mun go untaxed.’ Then the speaker returned to the sile ver question, He flashed a printed copy of his long speech, but allayed the evident upprehension of the audience by saying he did not intend o read it all. He did, however, quote from John Sherman's speech touching gold, and sald there wasa party in congress controlled by the money power, which owned it with as good a title as ever a slave driver had to his human chattels. 1r it were not so the Sherwan ack would not now stand repealed. ‘The senator did not want to be understood as saylog that all senators were thus owued, but he wanted to say that it was useless to expect good legislation until the people arose in their wrath and wrought & change, He wld of a speech he made a couple of weeks ago at Alexandria, W.Va. He w the first populist they had ever seen ther although it was only five miles from the national capital, and the people stood back along the edges of the hall. He nalvely re- marked with becoming modesty that the populists would poll 500 votes in Alexandria this fall as against two votes last year. The anti-free silverites who claim to be bimetallists we in for a rousting, the speaker saying there never before was such agrim sarcasm as when John Sherman arose and claimed 1o be a bimetallist, and that ne wust have meant to buy one metal with the other, or as Teller of Colorado had expressed it, a *'bye-and-bye metallist,” He declared that the gold buge had rusg
