The great republican tnrss meeting
latt evening at the Academy of Music
thuEMm/KTHe'tiuidirg ! waa'fillcd to
its iitiuost capacity and thousands
ver.i unuble to jain admission. Lung
before the liour anuouncod for ttie
opcuing of the meetinf ; , crowds had
assembled in the vicinity of the Acad
emy and when the doors wore openci
the rush was eo great that many per
sons were carried off their feet and
several fainted and wore carried away
by their friends. Amonj ; the prom
inent persons that occupied boxes
were Gov. Cornell , Gen. Chester A.
Arthur , republican candidate for vice
prudent , Cyrus \V. Field , Edwards
Pierrepout , Gen. Viiruum , Thurlow
\V ed , Jno. .Fay and numerous olh-
f. cra. Gen. Aapmwall called Ihe meet
ing to order and rend a letter from
Gen. Grant expresbing hia regret that
hu could cot > j i-roicut to preside.
The audicnco then sang "Joha
Brown's " < ' "
Uody , 'America" and EUV-
vral other { -atriotic songs , which wore
followed by tliree cheers for Gen.
Grant , Gov. Cornell , Gen. Garfiulil ,
Geu. Arthur and the stars and stripss.
Gen. Aspmvrall then iulroducei the
uhairmau of Iho evening , cx-Secrelnry
of State Hamilton Fish , \\lio , after
making a few remarks , introduced
Senator lloacoo Conkling. Ho was
received with great applause , and
after speaking a few minutes was com
pelled to stop again for a few moments
on account of cheering.
CONKLINO'S hPEGCU.
Senator Conkling , after compliment
ing the fine audience and referring to
ihe royal accouchement in Spain , said
that it had become the duty of this
nation to again choose a ruler at the
ballot box. The question is whioh of
the parties is it safer and wiser to
trust. It is not a qucilion of can
didates. A gonuiuo honest man will
xiot take a party nomination , and
when elected become a law unto him
eelf. Fe\v things are more despicable
than , tirst to secure elevation at the
hands of a parly and then affect su
perior Biuctity implying that those ,
xthoao support , he had sought , rru
Aanting in purity or patriotism. A
candidate of a party ia its exponent
the democratic party U the dcmn-
orntic cundidnto I am. nqainct. ilia
ticket and all its works. The jje'neral
issue before us is sectional , I would
it wore not so , but it is no. In twelve
K
? "
atatoa the election will bo a farce , un
! \ less , as sometimes happens , it bo
turned into a tragedy. In sever. . !
( southern stales there is a well known
4 republican majority , but , without ex
ception , they aru rolled upon to help
the demnctitis ccoro 138 electoral
vctoi , lacking but 47 of a majority.
This condition of things no intelligent
man can overlook ; but to speak of it ,
he la charged in the coarse parlanca of
democracy with "waving the bloody
shirt. " The senator then repsated
Grant's letter to Arthur , which had
been read , complimenting both the
writer and the receiver. He then
proceeded to ehow tbat the demo
cratic party is govornci by southern-
era , who control cangrcss , end in the
event of a controversy over the elec
toral count , they wnuld dicida it. Ho
referred to the pros * nt cens-is of the
DU. South , which , ho said , was groa y
frauduleut , i > s proven by ( ho census
of 1870 taken by fie rciitthr United
States marslmls. Ono 6t * o ccreditod

The tonnnge across th b 15ge at St.
Louis is twelvefold what Js cirried on
the river. He demons' ' r.iicd that the
exports and imporls of eou'hern ' cities
Lave steadily diminished f. r twenty
years , northern cities ste.idily increas
ing. Conkling passed to thu question
ot political intolerance in the south ,
which , since'72 , has obliterated near
ly the entire republican vote by force
and tissue ballots , run the elections
and placed the south in power in na
tional affairs. One chief use of this
power has been the repudiation of
etalo and municipal debts , amounting
to § 300,000,000 , 890,000,000 being
anti-war debt The speaker said that
another scheme to perpetuate demo
cratic power was to make four states
out of Texas ; annex a slice of Mexico ;
create now states from territories and
thus add fourteen senators to the
southern majority. The south bates
the supreme court and is planning to
get control and frame laws for partisan
purposes. They expect to
TILL tJPTHEAUMV WITH CONFEnKKATES
if Hancock is elected and thus control
of the military.
Senator Coukling argued at Icngt ,
showing the hostility of democracy to
existing laws and constitutional
amendments. Ho ridiculed their
pleas of economy in nations ! affairs
aud their claims of the credit for spe
cie resumption ; they had favored re
pudiation aud not resumption. On
the contrary.tho republican party had
originated all the plans for resumption
and urricd them into execution. Gen.
Grant was first elected on a resump
"R tion platform. In clo iu , Mr. Conk-
linu said : "A triumphant nationality
aud regenerated constitution , a free
republic , an unbroken country , un
tarnished credit , solvent finances , un-
paralolkd prosperity all these art

ours , despite the policy and the efforts
of the democratic party. But in the
midst of the harmony and encourage-
mcnt comes a hsrth discord , crying ,
' 'Give us a charge ; anything for a
change. " The country docs not need
or wish the change proposed. A qood
naturcd but firm "No I thank you"
willbo the risponee at the polls.
THE CANDIDATES ,
wo suppose , besides boingrepublicans ,
are largely fitted for the stations
which awail them. Some service with
him in congress has made me well ac
quainted with Gca. GatHcld ; that he
has the intelligence , experience and
habits of a mind which fits n man for
the presidential office , I think Iknow.
Without early advantages , he years
ago achieved prominence among load
ing men in public life and that promi
nence he has maintained ever since ,
in all his communication between in
dividuals aud parlies. That ho is
competent-for therduttos beT3roh Im'J'
there seems to mo no reason to doubt.
Of General Arthur it ECCUQS iicadless
here to Bpeak. Most of you know him
and all who know him know a whole-
souled , honorable man , honorable in
every position innhich ho ever stood ,
a man to bo trusted in every relation
of life. If the character , the popular
ity and personality of a candidate can
add strength to the republican cause ,
General Aithur will add that strength
wherever ho is known and most where
he is best known. "

The state of affairs in the Deccan ba-
pins to cause serious anxiety. For
three or four weeks there has been lit
tle rain over the greater part of Bom

will bo reason to apprehend a severe
scarcity , if ndl actual famine , bvor an

anxiety it is yet too aoon to give way
to panic. The kharif crop is reported
to be withering in many places. A
good rain during the present month
will save the Ribior winter crop , and
so long as that is not lost there is little
danger of Famine.

which I have already referred.
These instrumentalities did nut
each ihe country to rns. Hence Gov.
Davis has been enmSc'g"up. . splendidly
within the last thirty-six hours. We"
now fool confident of his election by a

bility that democratic frauds will be
attempted among the French in he
; ar off Madawaaka region on our ox-
reme northwestern frontier , which is
300 milcsfromhereby existing routes
of travel. Thcso French people are
Jieniselvos innocent , but they ere

Uadawasta has been often tried by
democrats in the past. They were
signally exposed and rebuked as long

he Tribune , appointed a special com-
iiissioiier by tidv. L. Merrill , jlt roajr
) ocomo necessary to order a simitar
nvcstlptxtion this year. The cour-
ige of Maine republicans has never
jeen higher than at this moment. We
lave elected 22 members of the senate -
ate against 0 by the fusioniste , and
lave the house of .jropre-entatives by
a large majori'y. ' The political power
of Maine is permanently wrested from
ho men who last year dishonored the
tale. JAMES G. BLAINE.
TUB DEMOCllATIO VERSION.
Special dispatch to Tns BIB.
NEW YORK , September 17 4 p ra.
fho national democratic committee
las issued the following statement
olativu iu the election in Maine :
The latest reliable a'nd efficient returns
1-eccivod from Maine rire as fol-
ows : Returns from 428 towns
give PlaiBted70,019 , Davis 70,698re- ;
aublican majority , 677. In the
same towns in 18i6 the opposition
vote was 57,477 , republican 72,7fi5 ;
republican , majority,15,206. Repub
lican loss in 1880 from corresponding
election in 1876 , 14,587. There arc
58 towns and plantationstbho.tr from
relative sain of those towns compared
with 1876 would give us at a low esti
mate 1000 majority.
The proclamation further accuses
the republicans of fraud and an Inten
tion to count out the fusionist candi
date. It claims that Philbrick in the
Third and Anderson in the First dia-
tries were elected , but the returns
manipulated in favor of the republi
cans.
Latest from Maine.
Special Dispatch to The Bio.
NEW YORK , September 18 , lam.
The following was received last
night from Augusta , Me. , addressed
to Chairman Jewell , of the republican
national committee : We have com
plete returns , with the exception of a
few distant plantations , and 1 give
you a summary of the result. In the
election of 1879 the republicans lacked
1,045 votes of a majority. This year
we have made gains in twelve coun
ties , held our own in two counties and
in two others have made slight losses.
Our not gain in the whole sixteen
counties is reckoned at 1,300 asa min
imum , with a possible maximum of
1,600 , making Gov. Davis' re-election
certain. It is no longer denied by his
opponents. His majority over Plait-
ted will not vary much from 400. Wo
have chosen three-quarters of the
county officers , more than two-thirds
of the state senate and a large ma
jority of the house of representatives ,
giving us complete control of the state
government in all its branches. Our
only regret is the failure to regain the
fourth andfifth coogressionaldistricts.
We succeeded in reducing in each to
about one-third of the fusion majority
of two years ago , but the democratic
alarm over the result in Vermont
caused the application of arguments
in both districts during last week ,
which we could not meet.

REPUBLICAN PLURALITY OF 2,000.
PORTLAND , Me. , September 18 , 3 a.
m. From official figures now at the

largest vote by 6,000 ever thrown in
Maine.

A Chinese Mandarin Conver
ses With a Bee Re
porter
Concerning Various Topics of
Interest to John and
Jonathan.
On the train that came iu from the
Pacific coast yesterday aflef noon was
a very intelligent and highly educated
Chinese dignitary , whoso arrival in
San Francisco , some two weeks ago ,
created a great deal of gossip in the
California metropolis. A BEE repor
ter , who boarded the train on its way
in , secured a pleasant and instructive
interview , which substantially con
veyed the following facts :
"My name is Tong Ying Sing , " said
the Chinese dignitary in very clear
English , with a cockney accent. "I
am manager of the Chinese Merchant
Steaiilahlp line , now plying between
Canton , in China , rftid Honolulu. I
am now bound for New York , whfcre 3
expect to meet the Chinese Minister ,
with whom I desire to confer about
our commercial treaty with the United
States. This is my first viait to Amor-
lea. 1. have never before been abroad
but have acquired a pretty general
knowledge of your geography , history ,
and customs. It is our design to extend -
tend our steamship iino to San Fran
cisco for commercial business , but wo
annot do so as long as _ the United
tates discriminates against us in its
utien. They charge us one dollar cx-
ra per ton afad the charge from China
o TJonolulil is only thirty cents per
on. "
"I was interviewed in San Francis-
o by newspaper men but they have
misrepresented my statements. It is
bsurd to suppose that it is our inten-
ion to take back all the Chinese from
California in our steamers. They will
by there if their Condition is better
Inn 111 China. I know tua poopl * ot
Ins country find fault that the Chi-
icse don't amalgamate with them , es-
iccially that they carry back the mon-
y- they save in this country to China.
low Is it with your Europeans or
Americans who do business in Chinal
) on't they all go there to
make money , and when they got rich
lon't they all go back to Europe or
America ? It is not reasonable to asker
or expect that people , differing from
ou in their customs and especially
n their religion , should amalgamate
30 easily with Americana. The great
mlk of our people believe in the re-
igion of Confucins. Wo can't un-
derutand the doctrines of Christianity ,
and don't take to them very readily.
: t is true there are a good many Eo-
man Catholic converts in our country ,
> ut they are only like a drop in the
icoan compared with our vast popula-
ion. You have a fine agricultural
ection in this part ot the country.
We raise corn in China , too , but it
does not grow BO tall. "
About this time the locomotive
whistle announced our arrival in the
) maha depot and broke off the con
versation abruptly. Tong Ying Sing
s a portly , dignified looking China
man , considerably above the average
Mongolian height. His dress denoted -
noted a man of the higher rank , his
, unic being of woolen fabric rescin
ding merino , and of a greenish color.
3ia slices , of course of a Chinese
wttern , were of very fine material.
3is cue was hidden beneath a sort of
skull cap , over which he were a hat.
