THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1895. OPENS THE CAMPAIGN. Gov. McKinley Talks to Republicans of Ohio. CONGRATULATION GIVEN Errors of the Democratic Ad- ministration Forcibly Pointed Out. PAST AND PRESENT RULERS. Reasons Why the Public Credit Must Be Malntained by the Natlon. SPRINGFIELD, Onro, Sept. 10.—The State Repub aign was formally inaugurated to-day and the town is crowd- ed with marching clubs from all the lead- ing cities of the State, as well as reformers and their kinsfolk from the country for miles around. is is the home of General S. Bushnell, the Republican candidate for Governor, i hence a special effort has been made to make the inauguration an overwhelming success. For the speechmaking this afternoon three platforms had been erected at the r gr Senator Sherman presided the principal platform and Governor { overnor Foraker, General d General A. S. Jones, candi- ant-Governor, were the s. The presence of Gov- ¢ and Colonel Foraker upon atform was expected to dispose aign reports that the old-time Governor McKinley said he could not re- ain from congratulating the party upon s splendid victory of a year ago, this be- ing the first Republican mass-meeting in Ohio since that election. Ohio must take no steps backward. In the forty-one elec- tions since the organization of the party in 1855 the Republicans had carried the State thirty-four times. During these forty years the Democrats have elected but overnors—Allen, Bishop, Hoadley pbell—and but three Secretaries mstrong, Bell and Newman. ernor or Democratic Secretary in that period has ever been re-elected, and never but twice have there been two successive namely, 1873-74 and ce the organization of ty have there been two tures in succession. electoral vote given to Mr. Cleveland in 1892.the State has i electoral vote to the Republican party ever since the party has existed. Then he cited the fact that through nearly all this time the Democrats had one of the Senatorial seats, and part of the time both of them. Continuing, he said: T ear, 1895, we are going to ‘resume o Mr. Foraker will take the Brice. Ohio Republicans are united and resolutely on that proposition. We Excepting the ague. While the 7 have not de- their preference “‘in the open,” it is well t Mr. Brice is their candidate. cans have formally, officlally arty good faith,in State convention bled, declared their preference for Sen- ator to be Joseph B. Foraker. The Republicans are to be congratulated that they have r:o rival a tes for the United States Senatorship. e have no contestamong ourselves. Icannot 1 the people of the State too strongly tly the importance of electing a Re- publicen Legislature, which shall elect a Re- publican United States Senator. If it is the purpose of the people of this countryin the next National contest to give the Republican party full power, as I firmly believe, it is of the highest moment that we insugurate that work here in Ohio and this year, by making certain the election of a Republican United States Sen- ator. We have met for public discussion. Notwithstanding our overwhelming victories 1n Ohio for the last two years we mean to take nothing for granted. Both parties declare for sound money; both declare for the enforce- ment of the Monroe doctrine; the Democratic platiorm commends the President of the United States in_his policies and administra- tion and especially commends him for uphold- ing the credit of the country. The Republican platform denounces the present Democratic National administration for its vicious and ating course which has brought distress ome and humiliation abroad. The real condition in Ohio is on the tariff question. Should the present tariff law be ap- proved by the voters? Senator Brice has said that the Wilson law was the final adjustment of the tariff question on Democratic lines. There is one great objection to the law that all must admit to be valid. It failed to produce the needed revenue. I will read statistics to show that no such deficits in the treasury fol- lowed the enactment and operation of the Re- publican tariff law which the Wilson law re- pealed. The statement of the condition of the United States treasury on the 31st day of August, 1895, shows an excess of expenditures oy ceipts for the month of August of $3,693,- 103 30. The average monthly receipts from customs during the operation of the Republi- can tariff law were $17,066,774 67; the average monthly recefpts from custom duties under the Democratic tarift law of 1894 were £13,167,533 63, a difference in favor of the Republican law of $3,899,241 04 per month. One thing must not be forgotten, that atno time from the passage of the Republican tariff law of 1890 down to the close of President Harrison’s administration, did that law fail to raise all the revenue needed to meet every ex- pense of the General Government, and during 10 part of that period did the gold reserve fall below §100,000,000. Itis largely proclaimed through the Demo- cratic press that prosperity has come. I sin- cerely hope that it has. Whatever prosperity we have hes been a long time coming, and after nearly three years of business depression, a ruinous panic end painful and widespread suffering among the people. I pray that we may be at the dawn of better times and of en- during prosperity. I have believed it would come in some measure with every successive Republican victory. = It is a most significant fact, however, that the activity in business we have now is chiefly confined to those branches of industry which the Democratic party was forced to leave with some protec- tion, notably iron and steel. There was no in- dication of & return to prosperity until after the election of 1894, with its Republican vi tories. Whatever prosperity we are having (and just how much nobody knows), and with all hoping for the best, and hoping that it may stay and incresse, and all breathless with sus- pense, is in spite of Democratic legislation and not because of it. I do not propose to make comparisons between the wages paid labor now and the wages paid labor prior to 1893; that is unnecessary. Every man who labors in this country knows whether he is employed now as satisfactorily and steadily as then, and whether he is paid as well now as he was when Republican politics were in operation during Republican administrations. Every workingman knows what his payroll is now, and knows what his payroll was then, and he knows it better than anyboay can tell him; and he knows better than anybody else the exact measure of difference between the wages he receives now and the wages he re- ceived then. 0n the “great paramount issue,” as;Mr. Brice > or ear: puts it, shall the administration of President Cleveland be approved? what say you, voters 0f Ohio? Do you approve of his attempted restoration of the Hewaiian Queen? Even Democrats disapprove of that, and the admin- istration itself has been forced to acknowledge its error. Do you concur in his foreign policy generally? The Democratic State Committee could not withhold a vote of condemnation of that. Do you approve of his bond contract with the foreign and domesticsyndicate? The piain people, Democrats and Republicans alike, condemn it. Do you agree with his tariff policy? Do yon think protection to our industries and labor is unconstitutional and & fraud? Do yon approve of the repeal of the Tegiprocity clause contained in the Republican tariff law of 1890, which has deprived us of foreign markets for agriculture and manu- ? The lack of confidence in the finan- y of the Government is-nowhere more manifest than in the drains which have been made upon the treasury for the redemp- tion of greenbacks. It is true that during Mr. Cleveland’s first term bonds of the Government were called in and paid off, but in a very halting, hesitating way; but it is to be noted that the bonds thus paid off were paid wholly from the revenues of the Government collected under the Republican legisiation. On the subject of money the Republican party stands where it hes always stood—for good money, whether gold, silver or paper, all 1o be under National authority at all times, and everywhere equal and interchangeable, which will honestly measure the exchanges of the people, and deceive and cheat nobody. It must be as sound and strong as the Govern- ment itself, and as free from stain or taint as the flag of our country. I congratulate the peopleof the country that the Democratic party of Ohio at last stands upon a sound money platform. The public credit, my fellow-citi zens, must be forever maintained. As was said twenty years ago by a most distinguished statesman: “Neither & gold nor a silver cur- rency, nor both conjoined, neither monometal- lism nor bimetallism, can form any substitute for the honesty and good faith which are the basis of an enduring public credit.” The Governor closed with a hearty com- mendation of the State ticket and an appeal to the voters of the State to sup- port it. General Asa S. Bushnell said: “The Democratic party had carried on the business of the country without profit and impaired - its credit. It had made plenty of promises, but had fulfilled none of them. The Republican party always preserved the prosperity of the country.” It met the war debt and pension payments ana also kept up the gold resery a business proposi- tion the Democratic party should be retired. Governor McKinley would be the next President and Joseph B. Foraker Senator from Ohio.” ix-Governor Foraker said: “The Dem- ocratic party has not lived up to the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Cleveland has notoriously disregarded it in the matter of Nicaragua and Venezuela. brought the blush of shame to the cheeks of Americans. European powers should | better mot intermeddle with American countries. Our foreign trade has been injuriously affected. Our imports for the last fiscal year increased $76,663,252. During the same { declined §84,801 . In other words, we have bought more and sold less to the amount of §161,464,577. It is no wonder we have trouble with our currency, our revenues and our credit.” T0 RECOVER THE MONEY, Some .Insurance Companies Will Not Lose on the Fraker Policies. Conslderable of the Sums Obtained by Helrs Has Already Been Spent. ® KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 10.—Robert T. Herrick, the insurance lawyer who cap- tured Dr. George W. Fraker, the insurance swindler, will file with the clerk of the Unpited States Circuit Court an smend- ment to the bill in equity which the insur- ance companies filed last week to recover the money paid to the Fraker heirs. The original bili asked for the return of such money as the heirs had recovered from the companies which fought their claim until the February compromise. It now develops that the heirs have spent a considerable portion of this money, but that Judge Lincoln, the administrator, has invested some $5000, secured from the Equitable and the other companies which settled without a fight. The Equitable paid the heirs nearly $9000 on two $5000 policies rather than participate in thefight made by the other companies, and is mak- ing no effort to recover it. There is a pos- sibility that the companies which made the fight may recover all they paid out if Judge Philips will order the beneficiaries to repay to them all they owe. Mr. Herrick estimates that the money already tied up in litigation will be suf- ficient to return to the companies which made the fight in sums as follows: Kan- sas Mutual Lafe, $8500 out of $10,000 paid out; Hartford Life and Annuity, $13,000 out of $15,000; Provident Savings Life and Annuity, $8500 out of $10,000; and Knights of Pythias, $2500 out of $3000. ——- — DOWN AN BANKMENT. Passengers Injured by the Derailment of Coaches. GLENWOOD, Mi~x., Sept. 10.—Train 107 on the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie and Pacific Railway had the narrowest possible escape from an appalling disaster between Belgrade and Brooten shortly be- fore 2o’clock this afternoon. Miss Mary Brand of Casselton, N. D., was, it is feared, fatally injured, and ex-Senator Washburn received a severe* wound on the head. The three rear coaches of the train were derailed, two of them rolling down an embankment into a ditch. The acci- dent was precipitated by the breaking of the forward axle of the dining-car. Although Senator Washburn’s wound is a severe one, he will recover. Miss Brand’s arm is broken, her back injured and it is believed she has internal wounds of a grave nature. The negro porter on the sleeper had his left hand crushed, and several others were injured, though not seriously. On_the arrival of the train here Senator Washburn_and Miss Brand were taken to the Parker House for medical attendance. The train was only four feet over a high bridge when the accident occurred. St Two Men Killed in a Wreck. EVANSVILLE, Wis., Sept. 10.—A bad wreck occurred on the Chicago and North- western road, near here to-day, causing the death of two men and the demolition of seven freightcars. The killedare: F. P. Hollinshead of New Lisbon and E. J. Sul- livan_of Lison. The accident was caused by a drawbar pulling out of one of the cen- ter cars, which dropped down and caught in the ties of the railroad bridge, throwing the cars into the water. A wrecking train is clearing up the wreck. et Defrauded the “ Cannibal.” DENVER, Coro., Sept. 10.—Alfred Packer, the ‘‘cannibal” convict serving a life sentence in the penitentiary, has been defrauded out of $125 by James Daily, who was released from the penitentiary last month. Daily pretended he could get a pardon for Packer by the use of money, which was furnished him by Packer out of Ius savings. Becoming suspicious of Daily, Packer told the Warden, and to-day Daifi' was arrested bere.

Thousands of Visitors to the Great Blue Grass Metropolis. | PARADE OF THE NAVAL MEN.| Then They Held the Annual Con- vention of the Natlonal Assocla- tion of Ex-Tars. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. '10.—To the fullest extent the legion of the Grand Army visitors enjoyed Kentucky hospital- lity to-day and right royally it flowed upon them. Business men generally, especially in the wholesale districts, left their estab- lishments for the day and gave themselves and their time to fraternizing with the delegates and State posts, while society women by the hundred deserted their bomes and worked untiringly to make things pleasant for their sisters from abroad. For the ride to which the visiting women were treated this afternoon no less than 200 swell turnouts of all descriptions | were loaned by their owners and the list of guides and chaperones represented the bluest pages in the bluebook. The num- ber of strangers here to-night is nominally | estimated. but official figures are in the | neighborhood of 175,000, and at least 50,- 000 more will be brought in during the night and morning in time for the great parade to-morrow. The inpour to-day was incessant and the streets for miles were uncomfortably crowded with pedes- trians, vehicles and marching delegations. There are reports to-night that several trains from distants points are in a block- | ade with slight chance of reaching here in | time for to-morrow’s demonstrations, while passengers on trains arriving from Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio and this State say that ateyery station people were left | behind through inability to get even stand- | ing-room in the coaches. Outside of the naval veterans’ parade, [ the only event of the day was the presen- his staff and aids, representing every State and Territory of America, of a dia- mond badge, and the reception tendered the same official and his staff at the Galt House by the National officers of the Women’s Relief Corps. This was a bril- liant function participated in by 2000 | representative citizens and visitors.

The heat to-day was intense and many old soldiers were prostrated. None of the cases are serious. The leading feature of the day was the annual reunion and parade of the ex-sailors. Anadditional interestat- tached to the event from the fact that it is probably the last time that Jack-tars will be seen at a Grand Army encampment here, | sentiment in the organization favoring the | holding of future conventions in the East | at dates best suiting the majority of the | members. | Chief Marshal J. W. Hammond and his | staff headed the column, with the Michi- | zgan City (Indiana) band and the Louisville | Legion drum and bugle corps to announce | the approach of the first division. This was | composed of two companies of Indiana in- and a battery, followed by six com- panies of the Louisville Legion. Next in the line were several lodges of the Uni- formed Knights of Pythias of this city and New Albany, Jeffersonville and other In- diana cities. The juvenile drill corps and | two companies of the Uniformed Knights of Honor led the ex-prisoners of war and the ram-fleet veterans, while a division | composed of Sons of Veterans, who are en route to their National encampment at Knoxville, acted as escort to the naval veterans. The latter turned out in fair numbers, and in their loose trousers, blue jackets with broad, white shoulder collars | and flat naval caps, presented a picturesque appearance. The local associations represented and | the order in which they filed along was: | Gideon Wells of Connecticut; Farragut of | New York; Farragut of Providence; Kear- sarge of Boston; Kearsarge of Portsmouth; Monitor of Brooklyn; Farragut of Phila- delphia; the Naval Veterans’ Association and the Grand Army naval post, both of the Quaker City ; Blue Herrick Association, Zanesville, Ohio; D. D. Porter Post, Co- lumbus, Ohio; Cincinnati Naval Veterans’ Association; Michigan Association of De- troit; Lake Suverior of Detroit; Farragut of Chicago; Rock River of Rock Isiand, 111, and the Minnesota Naval Veterans. After the parade had disbanded and the old tars had devoted an hour to rest and refreshment, the annual convention of the National Association of Naval Veterans opened in the Circuit Court room of the Courthouse. Francis B. Allen of Hart- ford, Conn., rear-admiral commanding, presided, and 200 delegates responded to the rollcall. In his annual address Rear- Admiral Allen said that the association now numbered 4000 ex-sailors in good standing, an increase of 15 per cent during the year. New local associations had been brought into existence at Marquette, Mich., Los Angeles, Cal., Portsmouth, Va., and St. Louis, Mo. No local associations had withdrawn, or disbanded, and peace and harmony universally prevailed. The speaker went on to say: “The organization of the Naval Vet- erans’ Association has already been pro- ductive of great good, and is likely in the near future to do even more in removing many unjust discriminations against the sailor, so that he may stand equitably be- fore the law alongside his comrade of the army and receive equal consideration. “Owing to circumstances of environ- ments it has been much- more difficult to obtain a pension for a deserving shipmate of the navy than for his fellow-patriot, the comrade of the army, for it will be remem- bered the enlisted men of the navy shipped at some seaport and were sent from there to the nearest receiving ship and taken from there as vessels needed crews and put among officers and men they never saw before, and the survivors are difficult to trace. The army comrade, on the contrary, ordinarily joined a com- pany formed at or near his home and as sociated with friends who had previously known him and who, had they survived, could easily substantiate his claim.” Amid frequent interruptions of applause NONE NEW TO-DAY CLOTHING.

CINCINNATI, Omto, Sept. 10.—J. C. Moffitt, news editor of the Cincinnati Tribune, was challenged to fight a duel with swords by Dr. Chartier, a French newspaper man, who once before created a sensation in St. Louis by his aggressive methods, and who had been connected with the Tribune recently as a feature-writer. A simple question of judgment of pub- lishing a news item, which Mr. Moffitt had turned down, was the occasion of the trouble. 4 Dr. Chartier is vehement in his_claims that the affair is one of honor, and one of two things only will heal his wounded feelings. He must have an apology or he must have blood. A dispute arose be- tween the two over the publication of an article prepared by Dr. Chartier, who called at the Tribune office Monday even- ing and protested against the manner in which his matter had been treated. Mr. Moftitt quietly defended his position until the doctor became so obstreperous that it was found necessary to invite him to leave the building. He wrote the following challenge Mr. Mogitt: The two gentlemen who are de- livering this letter to you are in charge of a little question of honor. for an apology in writing unless yov chose to act asa gentleman. With all the respect you deserve, I am, M. G. CHARTIER. SR NI R Murder and Suicide. TELLURIDE, Covo., Sept. 10.—Eugene ‘Wilson and Lydia Williams, both colored, quarreled last night. He attacked her with a razor, which she tore from his hands. Then he killed her with a revolver and foliowed this deed by committing sui- cide with the same weapon. They will ask you: ALL WERE SUFFOCATED. Rescuing Parties Unable to Reach Men in the Burn- Ing Mine. Among the Victims of the Disaster Were Nineteen Married Men. COLUMBIA,Mich.,Sept. 10.—Ten miners went down the southernmost shaft of the Osceola mine this morning. The men were especially selected among the fearless ana experienced workmen habited to breathing powder smoke and foul air. The party descended in the skip oriron car, used in bringing up rock from the mine to the twenty-fourth level, and managed to press north on that level to within 250 feet of shaft 4, next south of the burning one. At that point two of the party were overcome by the gas, and, to save adding fresh victims to the already long list, the expedition turned back. In shaft 1, at the outer end of the mine, a similar attempt was made by a carefully organized party similar to the first, but at a depth of only 280 feet down the shaft smoke was met in such volume that it was foolhardy to descend further and the min- ers quickly came to the surface. The experience of the rescuing parties in No. 1 and No. 5, where the smoke would naturaily be met with in the least quanti- ties, renders it certain that the entire mine isnow filled with it and cuts off the last hope that the missing may have been able to preserve their lives. Rescuing parties will be sent down as frequently as possible to test the condi- tion. It will possibly be several days be- fore the mine will be clear of smoke, even if the fire has gone out, which is quite doubtful. . It is now positively known that twenty-nine men and boys were caught in the mine. Nineteen of the men were mar- ried. Ol oo One Deserter Shot Dead. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 10.—Privates Will- jams and Coffee, two deserters, restrained at Fort Sheridan, twenty-eight miles north of here, attempted to escape this morning, while working in the rear of the hospital. Private Christy, who was on guard, de- tected them and ordered them to halt. They refused, and the soldler fired a num- ber ‘of shots at them, killing Coffee and wounding Williams. Williams succeeded in escaping, but is being pursued by a number of soldiers. Coffee’s body was taken to the fort. The top of his head had been blown completely off, and his death was instantaneous. He was re- garded as a tough customer, having been recently transferred from Leavenworth, Kans., here. Williams was from Fort ‘Wayne, near Detroi R Suicide of a “Trilby” Manager. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 10.—William R. Palmer of Palmer & Jarrett’s “Trilby” company committed suicide early this morning in his room in the Southern Hotel by shooting himself through the head. Palmer was a brother of A. M. Palmer, and has managed the *‘Trilby’ company ever since it started on the road. He reached St. Louis a week ago iast Mon- day. Palmer had been drinking heavily. —_———— Death of a Millionaire. CHICAGO, Irn., Sept. 10.—Lester H. Eames, a retired millionaire, dropped dead in a corridor of the Victoria Hotel this afternoon. Heart disease was the cause. Mr. Eames was_78 years old and was a brother of H. F. Eames, firesident of the Commercial National Bank. oL X Streetcar Property Sold. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 10.—The prop- erty of the Denver City Cable Company was foreclosed to-day, C. E. Taintor of New York City bidding it in for $500,000 in the interest of the stockholders. The com- pany will be reorganized and operated under the new management. Interested streel railway men deny a rumored con- solidation of the street railway systems of Denver. — e Lady Gunning Pleaded Guilty. LONDON, Exa., Sept. 10.—Lady Franees Rose Gunning, who was arrested on July 5 on a charge of forgery, pleaded guilty to- day, and was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment. Lady Gunning, who is the widow of Rev. Sir George Henry Gunning, and daughter of the Rev.
