The happiness of the world de- pends upon its increasing wealth. : “The man who tells you of a land where wealth increases and the men decay 4s un- worthy to be called a man of reason or of commion-3ense, for no such condition can or ever has existed. The increase and distribution ot wealth is the key of honor- able civilization. “We are upon the high ground of dis- cussion of the principles which will be +determined at-this eléction, and which will decide whether we are to advance in the yath of happiness, wealth and civil- ization or retrograde. If we are'to discuss the questions of the "day,.however, we musf, be abreast with the day. I thank you “The world has changed very much | wiihin comparatively a few years. The progress of the world during the past cen- tury has been very rapid, while thatof the thousand years preceding was very slow. : ““We inherited from our ancestors mauy facts, but the majority of them are now dead facts. It is difficult to gét rid of the . idea that only tbe wealthy people of a country spend.money. If sometimes the people would search out and ascertain the manner . in which the common people lived and the fashion of their raiment a few centuries ago they would appreciate the present wealth of the world and the comforts which were distributed among all the people as the result of that wealth. That‘age has passed away and the wealth of the world has increasec and . become more evenly distributed. *The mistoke arises over-the misappre- hension of what wealth consists of. it is anything which adds to the comfort, hap- pipess and wants of man, even if it be a ped, a coat or a lesson at a dancing-school.” “As T came across the plains which sepaiate this great estate from those of the East I saw typical places.of by- *. gone times—adobe houses and huts and caves, which Were ouce sought as places i abode, but which now have no use unless some of the politicians now go- ing over Some of the territory shouting for free silver and Bryan n use them after the election. [Appliuse.] Some of these -men, judging from; the. latest dig- patches, seemed to have -discovered . tire necessity of some such shelter very soon. [Applause and laugnter.] = 3 ‘“The’distribution of wealth is of itself a tremendohs incentive to the creation of “wealth, but alaw has been ordained and énacted by Providence, which 1s a Jaw sc- perior to all others which can be made, thet no real comiort comes into the world except by the distrmbution of wealth for the comfort of mankind. The baving of money to spend is of no valug unless the - people have an opportunity to spend it for comforts. = “1n the days of the crusaders the nobles and lords with ail their wealth had to travel from place to place upon horseback, after the same manner that cowboys now cross the plains. Even after tie wealth of the world was slightly increased the peo- ple were forced to travel in lumbersome and wearisome coaches or wagons, as did ting” which you have | days; therefore the wealth of this country caused railroads to be constructed. “It wonld have been utterly impossible in those days, when wealth was concen- trated in the hands of a few, for a rail- way to have maintained itself for a single day. The wealth of a nation cannot be gauged by the money in the hands of a few. It is on account of the distribution of the wealth of thiscountry that railways are enabled to operate for the benefit and comfort of the people. “I want to explgin to you that a hay- rack is a vehicle which transfers bay from one place to another. 1 make this ex- planation because a certain 8an Francisco paper has repeatedly misrepresented me and to show that [ did not have enough intelligence to distinguish between a hay- rack and a hayrake. If you have enough hayracks for your crop you would con- sider a man devoid of sense if he told you that more hayracks would give you a bet- ter ctop.” [Laughter.] The speaker then referred to the lots of things suggested by the people to assist in human progress. If all of these thinge, he said, were tried, the country would con- stantly be in hot water. He referred to the Jow tariff policy ad- vocated in ’92 and its result, and claimed that while.the advocates of that disastrous policy had repudiated it, they had offered | another which promised still greater dis- asterif the people should ever consent to be deluded again. Speaker Reed spoke for three-quarters of an hour and his address for effectiveness was a masterpiece. After the meeting at the Auditorium Mr. Reed addressed another immense crowd at Hale’s Hall, which had been held together by Colonel Jackson. Mr. Reed’s reception here was as enthu- siastic as it was at the Auditorium, and the crowd broke up with cheers for the ticket and the speaker. Mr. Reed and party will leave here at 9:12 o’clock in the morning for Santa | Rosa. —_————— SPEAKER REED’S ARRIVAL. Loses No Time in Inspecting San Jose’s Improvements. SAN JOSE, Can., Oct. 29.—Speaker Thomas B. Reed and his party consisting | of Congressman Frank Aldrich of Chi- | cago, Charles M. Shortridge and Miss Kittie Reed, the daughter of the distin- guished statesman, arrived in this city from Stockton on a special train shortly after 11 o’clock this morping. A special committee from the Santa Clara County Central Committee consisting of Colonel Hersey, D. H. C. Brown, J. P. Fay and E. A. Hayes met the party at Niles and ac- companied them to this city, where they were met at the broad-gauge depot by a large delegation of the County Committee and escorted to the' Hotel Vendome. Miss Kittie Reed was the recipient of special attention from the committee of young ladies, consisting of Misses Emily and May Doyle, Misses Mabel and Grace | Adel -and Misses Florence and Hazel Park, Miss Reed was taken to the Ven- ‘dorhe in a handsome four-in-hand turn- out, where she was entertained at lunch- eon. -In the afternoon the daughter of the distinguished statesman was accompanied by the young ladies’ committee on a drnive through the suburbs of S8an Jose." She ex- pressed her delight at the beauties of this | county and the hospitality shown her by the commiitee. After luncheon &t the hotel Speaker Reed and Congressman Loud went for a stroll about the city. Mr. Reed lived here in 1863 and studied law and was admitted to practice here. Bpeaker Reed expressed his desire to the committee to be allowed a part of theafternoon to himself, in order that he might go about the city. Of course this request was complied with. When the committee recited the ar- rangements which bad been made for the evening, Speaker Reed was hearty in his eXxpression of thanks for the consideration shown him, and stated that he did not think a better arrangement ‘could have been made for the comfort of the people who should desire to hearhim. Mr. Reed’s voice was still suffering from the strain to which it nad been subjected during his tour through the country, and he was very much afraid the committee wonld ‘make him speak in some vast hall whose accoustic powers were bad and where he could be heard by only afew and his voice greatly taxed in an effort to speak very loud. He stated that by the arrangements adopted be would be heard by many more people and his voiceJeft in some condition for his San Francisco address. Accompanied by Congressman Eugene F. Loud, whom he spoke of as his “'per- sonal friend,” Mr. Reed walked through the business part of town and out Santa Clara street as far as Coyle Creek. Speaker Reed expressed his delight but not sur- prise at what he saw. Upon his retgrn to the hotel he said: % *‘San Jose has ‘but fulfilled my expecta tions of what it would be. When I lived ‘here in 1863 1t was a very small but even then a very pretty place. I knew it would grow and become a fine city, for I saw what 4 fertile valley there was about it, The nature of the improvements struck me very foreibly, and they are a credit to the people and to the city government. The streets are about as pretty as you will find anywhere, and the portions of the city I have seen have a clean and prosper- ous appearance. I kuew the valley was very rich, but I must say its fertility bas surprised me. It is a delighttul place to live, and I ‘shall always remember my residence here as well as my occasional visits with great pleasure, and the peopie of the county can always count upon me to assist them in any way in which my official position may enable me.”” * This afternoon Mr. Reed was called .upon’by a large-delegation of natives of Maine residing in this county, who ‘through their spokesman, 8. A. Barker, expressed their desire to shake hands with their honored countryman, ° Mr. Reed received® the delegation in an affable manner and afier shaking hands all round expressed his delight at seeing representatives from bis State. C. P. Berry, who was among the delegation, was at once recognized as an old iriend of the Speaker. Colonel John 8. Mosby, known inter- nationally as the ‘“‘guerrilla’’ of the Con- federate army, who was for seven years United States Minister to China, came down from San Francisco this morning to pay his respects to Mr. Reed and the meeting of the old soldier and the states- man was very cordial. Colonel J. P. Jackson, the S8an Francisco orator, arrivea thie afternoun, and was the recipient of much attention at the hands of the Re- publican committee and the prominent men of this city who congregated in the lqb'by of the Vendcme to entertain the visitors. SANTA ROSA IS READY. Elaborate Preparations for the Re- ception and Parade. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Oct, 29.—This city already wears holiday attire in honor of the visit of Thomas B. Reed to-morrow. People of high and low degree and with- out regard to political persuasion are dec- the pioneers coming to California in early | orating their residences and places of THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1896. business along the line of march and a general air of expectancy pervades tbe town. Santa Rosa peovle are loyal to alt that appertains to Santa Rosa and her welfare and the distinguished visitor will be ciaimed as the city’s guest. Few inte- rior towns in this State can equal Santa Rosa in the matter of accommodations and there will be no difficulty experienced in handling the immense crowd. The pavilion where the speaking will take place is beautifully situated in the midst of a veritable flower garden in the city park. Here 5000 people can be seated and half as many more can see and hear. The acoustic properties of the pavilion are unexcelled and it is confidently as- serted that 10,000 people will hear Mr. Reed’s discourse to-morrow afternoon. The McKirley clubs from Ukiah, Clover- dale, Healdsburg, Petaluma and the small intermediate towns will march in the big varade headed by the local bands. Excursions from all points on the Dona- hue and the Carquinez railways have been planned at low rates, and 20,000 people is a low estimate of the crowd that will be here. The committee of arrangements consists of Colone! H. W. Byingtoun, Ailen B. Lemmon, Captain J. H. Brush, Sena- tor J. W. Ragsdale, Major O. Fountain, M. V. Vanderhoof, Frank Muther ana 0. O. ‘Webber. These gentlemen will aiso form the reception committee, and will meet the guests at the depot at-11:30 A. 3. The parade will form 1mmediately on the ar- rival of the train from the south, and the line of march will be along Fourth street, Exchange avenue, Third street, Hinton avenue and pack down Fourth street to the Occidentar Hotel. After adinnerat the hotel the guests will be shown about,| the city until 2p. m. The exercises at the pavilion will commence a: 2:30 o'clock, and it is probable that Mr. Reed znd party will return to San Francisco by speciul train in the evening. Major R. J. Pyeand aids will bave charge of the parade and Albert G. Burnett has been selected as president of the day. It has been decided late this evening 10 have some of the re- ception commitiee meet the speaker at Tiburon and accompany him to this city. The weather, which was threatening early this afternoon, is perfectly clear to-night and all indications point to a perfect day to-morrow.

CLOSES THE CAMPAIGN, Colonel Ingersoll Speaks for Sound Money in New Yovk. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 21.—To close the speaking campaign in this city, they McKinley League of New York held a rousing rally in Carnegie Hall to-night, and the fact that Colonel Robert G. Inger- soll was to be the chief speaker attracted an audience that filled the hall long before the meeting was cailed to order. Among prominent people in the boxes and on the stage were: Mark Hanna, Jobn W. Mackay, Hon. Warner Miller, General Samuel Thomas, J. N. Seligman, D. 0. Mills, Cornelius N, Bliss, General Powell Clayton, Charles A. Dana, M. P. Borden, Hon, Joseph H. Manley, General Anson G. McCook, E. W. Bloomingdale, John Murray Mitchell and others. John E. Milholland of the league pre- sided and after the preliminary addresses introduced Colonel Ingersoll, who began his speech in a vigorous manner as soon the applause which greeted him and which lasted several minutes, had subsided. He said in part: This is our country. The legally expressad will of the majority is the supreme law of the land. We are responsible for our Government. We cannot excuse ourselves for the acts of the nobles. We are the kings; we are the nobles; we are the aristocracy of Americs. Whea the | Department N Government goes wrong the blameison our brow. We should all vote as we like. Ilove this conntry because the people are iree, and if they were mnot it would be their own fauit. Iam not going to appesal to your prejudices, even if you had any. Iam going to appeal to your brains and heart, and ask you to maintain the honor of your country. Three great questions are presented: First, s to money; second, tariff; and third, right of self-defense. What is money? Money is a product of nature, something that man cannot create. It is not made. It has to be found. And yet we have a man running for the Presi- dency on three platforms with two Vice- Presidents who says that money is the crea- tion of law. % Mr. Bryan wants money so poor that the Poor cannot spare it; so poor that the rich won't have it. The farmers of Maine and Ver- mont have answered him. Ihave confidence in the farmers who, when the sun shines and the crops flourish, pay their debts. Bryan says “Vote for cheap money and pay your debts.” Creditors say “What is going to be- come of me?” The question is, Can Congress make 50 cents worth a dollar? 1f they ¢an, let us save the silver and use it for something else. Bryan sdys that gold has been cornered and that millions of people believe it. Itisstrange bow credulous some people are. They say gold has been cornered, and yet for several years the rate of interest has gone down. If gold had been cornered silver would have ad- venced. Why not corner silver? Perhaps it i8 too poor 10 corner. Mr. Bryan says that free silver will make silver 16 to 1. Why stop there? Why not make it1 to 1? Mr. Bryan hates the bond- holders of the railroads. What did those wretches do? Idon’tknow. They helped to build the 180,000 miles of our railroads, build cars, equip roads and maintain them. Mr. Bryan hates the rich. Would he like to be rich? He hates the successful man. Does he want to be a failure? If he does tell him to wait until the 3d of November. There is the question of tariff. I want the American people, as far as possible, to manu- facture everything that they use, I want to Keep this country to ourselves. In order that we should prosper, muscle must be in partner- ship with brain., Iwould rather have one good county in New York than the whole of Mexico. I am no “prophet, nor the sop of 2 prophet, nor a very profitable son. In 1892 I said if Cleveland was elected he would cost the country $5,000,000,000. He has cost it more. We took the wrong man on the train at Buffalo, and we put the wrong man off. We want to produce great men and women here in our country. We want busi- ness. We don’t want any populistic philan- throphy. It formsa golden bow on which & line has been scen the glittering bow and dawn of promise. Let us have protection. How much? So much that our income will be equal to our output. I don’t like to see a man pawning his bonds to pay his own salary with, We have no classes in the United States. A millionaire may be a milkman; amilkman may be a millionaire. Here we have the free open field of competition. After all few rich men own their property. Their property owns them. Sometimes they think their chil- dren would like to see a first-class funeral. Why should we envy the rich? They never drank any colder water than I did. They never saw brighter sunsets. They never heard sweeter music. They never read better poetr than we do. Ihave nfthing against the men thatget rich in the free aund 6pen field of competition. We should help the poor, succor the sick and raise the falien. Let us have protection. Let us prosper. McKinley is a man who loves his country. He knows what money is and would never think of putting a land claim on a cloud. Vote for the party of Grant, the great- estsoldier the world has ever seen. Vote for the party of Sheridan and Sherman. G ey STRENGTH OF REPUBLICANMNISM. Eeports From Many States That Titl to for McKinley. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 20.—Final reports by letter from the leading men of Repub- lican States have been coming to head- quarters here for the last week. To-night, after a council of the National Committee, it was aecided to give 10 the press these reports as fast as they were received, fol- lowing the action of the campaign chair- man of the Democratic National Commit- tee. Only parts of the reports from each State chairman were run out. The ex- tracts, in substance, from the reports re- ceived up to to-night are as follows: Indiana—]I feel confident McKinley will not get less than 25,000 majority, and it may be 60,000. I base these estimates on the recent thirty-day poll, which was as favorable as the sixty-day poll of the State. Towa—Sure to carry the State by not less than 40,000 Hard fightsin the Sec- ond, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh Congressional districts. Kansas—Will give McKinley not less than 8000 majority, based on reliable in- formation received from every precinet. I believe the entire eight Congressmen will be elected. One hundred speeches a day are being made under direction of com- mittee. Nebraska—Claims the State by 18,000 majority. Michigan—Absolutely sure of not less than 20,000 majority for McKinley, and beligve it will exceed that. Predict full Congressional delegation from the State. I have not predicted success publicly, but our renorts are overwhelmingly favorable. Minnesota—Qur last poll shows McKin- ley’s majority to be 15,000. We have strong hovpes of more. Minneapolis is uncertain. May gives 5000 either way. St. Paul is safe. Congressional districts 1, 2,4and 5 are sure, and our chances good for carry- ing the Third, Sixth and Seventh. New York—The New York State major- ity for McKinley will exceed 300,000. New York City will give McKinley 60,000 ma- jority. The Congressional majorities will run frem 1500 to 14,000 or 16,000 in the Twenty-secona and Thirty-fourth dis- tricts. 'We will elect120 of the 150 mem- bers of the General Assembly,sand as we have & majority of 20 in the Senate, we will elect a Republican to succeed Hill. Ohio—We claim the State by 100,000 majority. South Dakota—Third poll of State gives McKinley 8000 majority. In this estimate we are counting out as against every doubtful vote. We have insisted on being conservative. Democrats seem to have given up the contest on the Presidential electoral ticket and are concentrating all efforts on the Legisiature. Pettigrew has funds and is leaving money in every county. Nationai Committeeman Kit- tredge puts our majority in the Legisla- ture at 90 out of 136. Chairman Munn of the Black Hills region gives the State to McKinley by 4000 on 2 most conservative estimate, Texas—Reports justify the belief that McKinley will carry Texas. West Virginia — McKinley's plurality will not be less than 11,000. All four Con- gressional distriots are safe. 2 Y e Hobart Visits Newark. NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 20 —Garret A. Hobart’s visit to this city to-night was made the occasion of a political and in- dustrial demonsiration unparallelea in the city's history. fe made a very brief speech at Caledonian Park Hall, where there was an enthusiastic audience of 4000. ¥or New Jersey he bespoke such a crushing majority against the Democratic leaders and their platform as to forever set at rest the scheme for enrichbing specu- lators in silver bullion at the expense of the whole people. 7 —_——-— Bailing of the Hennington. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 29.—The sailing of the Bennington from Tacoma to San Francisco was reported to the Navy to-day. DARK CLOUDS HNG OVER . BRHA Not Even a Silver Lining Cheers the Journey- ing Candidate, Rain Interferes With the Can- non Ball Campaign of the Boy Orator. MAKES PLENTY OF SPEECHES, But the Nebraskan Cannot See Any Issue Ahead by Fifty.-Two Cent Doklars. CHICAGO, 1L, Oct. 20.—A campaign sprint to a number of townsin Northern illinois ard back again to Chicago was not the best preparation for the hard work that lay before William J. Bryan to-night 1 his rounding up in this city. A dozen speeches in the outlying districts and nine more here was the Democratic candidate’s portion of the day and evening. When he had said good-by to bis last Chicago audi ence he hurried to the Northwestern sta- tion and was off again on anotner flying trip, this time through Wisconsin. The clouds hung over Chicago this morning when Mr. Bryan, accompanied by Mrs. Bryan and a number of local sup- porters, started out on his visit to neigh- boring communities. He ran into a rain- storm before he had gone very far, but the downpour ceased during the afternoon. Great masses of threatening clouds hung over the country through which Le passed for the rest of the journey. They did not break, however, and altogether the cannon- ball campaign he made was not seriously interfered with by the weather. Elgin heard the candidate first and then Mainturn, Belvidere, Rockford, Freeport, Foreston, Polo, Dixon, Rochelle, De Kalb, Geneva, Wheaton and Mainwood. The rain did not keep the crowds away. The people swarmed around tbe train where- ever it halted, and a sea of expectant faces looked up at the candidate ateach place scheduled for a speech, while the crowds cheered him, some with wild beartiness, and the enthusiasm of a few audiences was tempered by shouts for the Republican standard-bearer and display of yeilow ribbons bearing Major McKin-- ley’s name. Nearly all the stops were brief, and a speech was made at each, with the excention of Freeport, where two addresses were crowd«d into a half hour. It was raining hard when he arrived there and the meeting was held indoors. Both halls were crowded, and despite tue downpour large numbers of people were at the station when the candidate and his wife returned, and a very pretty incident happened. A gray-haired, sweet-voiced old lady on whom the burden of years had fallen, managed to reach the car plat- form, and looking Mrs. Bryan in the eyes said in trembiing tones: **Madame, I have ridden twenty-three miles to see you.’’ Then she put her arms around the can- didate’s wile and kissed ber. A brief stop was made at Foreston to enable Mr. Bryan to address about 500 people. Ten minutes was the time al- lowed him at Polo, which was reached at 3 o’clock. He talked to 1000 or 1500 from the rear of “The Idler,” and from there went to Dixon, where elaborate prepara- tions had been made for his reception. An artillery company in uniform fired off a loud-sounding cannon close to the train as Mr. and Mrs. Bryan alighted to take a car- riage for the speaking place, the portico ot a hotel, and more than 10,000, liberally es- timated at 15,000, were there to hear him. Some of them wore the orange, but they did not attempt any counter demon- stration, Running down to Rochelle, the next stop, the train slowed down in passing the station at Ashton to enable a crowd to see and cheer Mr. Bryanand his wife. Mr. Bryan was rushed through the back door of ‘a store at Rochelle to a platform facing the open street. To the 3000 people there he said: . They tell you that silver agitation has scared gold out. Gold is a mighty cowardly thing if it s scared by a craze that 1s as nearly dead as the Republicans say ours is. [Cheers.] Is it sufficient to build up a financial system upon gold as a base when you can’t find gold when you want it ? Do you build a hovse on an invisible foundation? [A voice, “Yes.”] Well, a Republican would if he acted in hoase- bunilding like his party does in finance. [Cheers.] Why is it that when a man begins to-| advocate the gold standard he has to forget all that he ever jearned 11 ordinary business transactions? .

[Cheers.] Ask your- selves these questions belore eleciion day, my friends. 4 The sun had gone down and twilight was merging into darkness as Mr. Bryan stepped from his carat De Kalb,where 2500 people were gathered about a stand erected on a corner. The nominee was cheered as he faced his audience. With his hat' jammed down on his head and his over- coat collar buttoned close to the throat, he talked about the arguments advanced by his opponents. He sai - They tell us we must so shape our policy as to be able to get money irom abroad for in-: vestment. I say that as lon; our financial policy we will rowers and never be dble o pay our debts and ‘become money-lenders ourselves. [Cheers.] Flickering oil lamps cast sallow glooms on the candidate’s faca as he stood in a stand erected near the station at Geneva| and talked to a couple of thousand of men and women. Wheaton came next and a crowd, as large if not larger than that at Geneva, was present. Mainwood was the last stop. Cheers for McKinley followed theshouts of the Bryan men among the assemblage of 3000 who heard Mr. Bryan speak from the bal- cony of a hot-1 within sight of his train.

The first of his speeches was de- livered at Stanisiaus Hall, corner of Brad- ley and Noble streets. Notwithstanding he wasover an hour latein arriving he found the hall packed with people. The disagreeable weather did not deter thou- sands from turning out to welcome the candidate, and it was with difficulty that a passage was made through the crowd from the hall to the carriage. Social Turner Hall, on Belmont avenue, heard the candidate for a few minutes at 9 A. m. Lincoln Turner Hall was reached a halt hour later and Hages Hall, at Cly- bourn and Southport avenues, at 10 o'clock.

In spite of an expengiture of money so large thit ‘;)m world stands appalled 8t its magnitude, wttn a large majority of the WOF!e of the Unite States are in open revolt against the merciless gold standard aud the domination of thed country by the syndicated wealth of Europe and America interested in securing or preveni- ing legislation and in controHing the exercise of the laws in their interest. S5 All that is necessary to_secure the register- ing of the people's .will is-to see that every Voter comes to the polls and casts an unpur- chased ballot. Many of -the millions con-. tributed by the syndicates'have been reserved for election day. Beaten at every poynt the 1ast resort of money is to buy the ballot of the voter by purchasing his absence from the polls or to coerce his yote by intimidation. To prés vent this is possible if eyery patriot will do his duty. .Every member of a club must go 10 the pulrs early in the morning on eleetion day, cast his bailot and remain until the polls close and the result is announced. Take care that gets to the polis and Note down ° the names of every absent yoter. Let it be known®that the citizen who fails to vote, unless prevented by extreme illness, hias éither been purchased by the money of the corruptionists or is other. wise unworthy to be called a citizen.

Tilden for the Presidency and elected Ruherford B.. Hayes: 1t wil be remempered that there-was “a bitter-contest for the Presi- "dericy at that time, and that a hot contest waged in the Eie¢toral College. Lontsiana was ¢laimed by thre Democrats, who af- firmed that thé Republican nominee for Congress had been elected, bur. that he had run over G000 votesahéad of lis ticket, and that the Democrati¢ electors had been chosen. ? ¢ The returning board, headed by Jewett, after.a long and bitter struggle, finally re- turned the - Republican . electors. This made the vote in the electoral college 185 for Hayes and 184 for Tildeni The eight electoral votes of Louisiana were. thrown for Hayes. The Democrats protested this, and’ the returns from this State, as well as from Florida, Oregor and South €arolina, were referred by Congress to an electoral commission composed of ‘eight Republi- cans and seven Demoerats. This commis- 1 sion, by a strict party yvote, sustained the Republican returns in every instance and overthrew the Democratic returns on ac- count of alleged frauds, giving the vote 185 to 184, as stated above. The Democrats have always comsidered the Loumisiana returning bosrd,-and par- ticularly its chairman, Jewett, as being re- sponsible for the defeat of Tilden ‘and his ultimate death. Jewetf was ostracized of State Armistead and Attorney-General [-upon every possible occagion, and- finally, Dinsworthy for ten days. Each of these officials frankly admit its correctness-to- day. Three days after the Democratic and and Populist Siate Central Committee had agreed upon a fusion upon electors a re- pory reached Governor Clark that J. R. Sovereign, one of the Populist eleetors selected by the Populist committee, was disqualified as he had failed to pay his poli tax, which is the essential require- ment of citizenship in Arkdnsas. An in- vestigation was immediately started and the report was found to be true. It was too. late, however, to substitute another name, as the time for filing certificates of nominations had expired the day after fusion had been agreed upon.
