i , Oct. 05. The city put on
quite a holiday appearance to-day In Honor of
the republican worldngmari's demonstration.
The weather was nimnly perfect. The dem
onstration In sonic of its features was the
most notable in the campaign , though not
the largest. The management of the affair
wan entirely in the hands of labor represen
tatives , chief of whom were Charles II.
Lltchman , ex-secretary general of the
Knights of Labor ; llobcrt D. Layton , of
Plttsbure ; ICccles Kobnison , master work
man of the brass workers' assembly of Pitts-
burg , assisted by John It. Rnnkin , Marshal
C. Woods and other prominent local labor
leaders. Hon. William MoICinloy and Sen
ator Henry W. Bluir , the principal speakers
if the day , arrived early this morning and
were received by a committee at the depot.
The former called upon General Harrison
during the morning , and the general took
him for a drive about the city. At ' ) o'clocic
the procession reached General Harrison's
residence , whrro the column opened ranks
and the general's carriage , with escorts ,
paused down through the enthusiastic line ,
en route to Tomlinson's hall. The parade ,
while a creditable atTair as far
as the local organisations participating are
concerned , has frequently been outnumbered
by the local democracy and by previous re
publican demonstrations. From excellent
democratic authority , however , the Asso
ciated press Is informed that by actual count
made by n well known republican , the total
number In line including bands was 1,575.
At 4 o'clock thohciut of the column reached
Tomlinson's hall , and the big auditorium was
filled to overflowing. The galleries hail been
packed an hour earlier , but the main lloor
was reserved for uniformed and visiting
clubs. Many ladies occupied Rents on the
stage , among them being Mrs. Harrison. The
marchers carried their Hags and labor em
blems to the hall , and as General Harrison
appeared , accompanied by ex-Secretary
Litchuiun , the vast audience arose , and wav
ing their Hafts nnd hats , then cheered fran
tically for fully live minutes. Standing close
to General Harrison wore three color bearers ,
tarrying handsome silk Hags , and while the
demonstration was in progress they waved
their Hags over tlfo general's head. In point
of enthusiasm btitono demonstration has sur
passed tlmtof to-day. Congressman McKinley
and Senators Blair and Spoonur wcro among
the Interested spectators of the evening.
L. W. McDanlels , a locally prominent mem
ber of the Typographical union , presided ,
nnd in his address , among other things , said :
Wo arc hero to repudiate the authority
claimed by a few professional men to t.pcak
for the wage workers of Indiana ; to deny
the truthfnlness of their statements and to
contradict the assertion that there is other
than the kindliest fculmg among the working
men of Indiana toward General Hariison.
[ Cheers. ] Whllo General Harrison has
never acted the blatant demagogue by mak
ing loud professions , yet wo have had evi
dence of his earnest sympathy and sincere
friendship on moro than ono occasion , nota-
blv his advocacy , whllo In the senate , of tlio
bill making arbitration the means of settle
ment of labor troubles , and excluding con
tract labor from our shores. [ Cheers. J Also
the bill prohibiting convict labor on govern
ment works , or put chasing by the govern
ment of any of the produgts of convict labor.
[ Cheers. ]
McUaniels closed by pledging the support
of these present. His remarks are hero In
corporated for the reason that General Harrison
risen , in his response , referred directly to
them.
As the general rose there was another
demonstration. Ho appeared greatly moved ,
nnd after uttering the llrst few words paused
several times and the respectful silence of
the grout audlcnco told that they understood
the emotion which for a moment embarrassed
the distinguished speaker. The demonstra
tions of approval were very marked , and the
great audience grow excited and uproarious
OB the general warmed up to his denial of the
matters touched on. Ho spoke with great
earnestness , surpassing , If anything , his
previous seriousness , as follows :
Mr. McDniilols nnd my friends : I have
seen , during this busy summer , many earn
est and demonstrative assemblages of my
fellow citizens. I have listened to many ad
dresses full of the kindcsttixprcsiions to
ward mo personally ; and , among them all ,
none have been moro grateful to mo , none
nave more deeply touched mo , than this great
nsRcmblago of the workingmcn of Indiana ,
and thcso kind words which have been ad
dressed to me In your behalf. [ Great cheer
ing. ] Thcro are reasons why this should
bo so that will readily occur to
your minds , and to some of which Mr. Mc-
Daulcls has alluded. Early in this campaign
certain people , claiming to speak for the
laboring men , but really In the employ of the
democratic campaign managers , promul
gated through newspapers and by campaign
publications that were not given the open en
dorsement of the democratic campaign mali
ngers , but were paid for by their funds and
circulated under their auspices , n number
of false and scandalous stories relating to
my attitude towards organized labor. The
purpose of nil thcso stories was to poison the
minds of working men against the candidate
of the party that stands in this campaign for
the principle of protection to American labor.
I have only once in all the addresses I have
made to my fellow-citizens alluded to thcso
matter * nnd the scandalouu stories , but now ,
in the presence of this great gathering of
working mm , I do pronounce them to bo
utterly false. [ Tumultuous chccrintr ,
waving of flacs nnd banners con
tinued for several minutes , ] The story
that I over said that $1 n day was enough for
a working man , with nil its accompaniments
and appendages , Is not n perversion of any
thing I over said It Is a false creation. [ En
thusiastic cheering. ] I will not follow in de
tail this long catalogue of campaign slanders ,
but will only add that it is equally falsa that
anywhere or at any time 1 over spoke dispar
agingly of my follow citizens of Irish nativity
or descent. Many of thorn are now enrolling
themselves on the sidoof protection of Amer
ican labor this created the necessity for n
utory. [ Cheers. ] I want to say again that
tlioss who pitch the campaign upon so low a
level greatly underestimate the intelligence
and sense of decency and love of fair play of
the American people. [ Prolonged checr-
.
1 gold to ono of the first delegations that
visited mo that this was u contest of great
principles ; that U would bo fought out upon
the high planes of truth und not in the
ewamps of blander und defamation. These
wno will encamp their army In a swamp will
abandon victory to the army that is on the
heights. The republican party stands to-day
us the bulwark of defense of the wage earn
ers of this country acalnst competition which
may reduce American wages even below the
standard they falsely impute to my suggest-
ion. They uro two very plain facts that I
bav often stated , nnd others moro forcibly
than I , that seems to mo should bo conclusive
with the wage earners of America. The pol
icy of the democratic party a revision of
our tariff laws as indicated by the demo
cratic party , a revenue only for tariff or pro-
rcsslvo frcu trade means a vast and sud-
§ en increase of iiiiK | > rtutions. Is there a
man bore so dull us not to know that this
means dlmlnUhed work In our Amnncan
hops. If some say that labor Is not fully
employed now , do you hope it will bo moro
fully employed when you have transferred
one-third of the work done In our shops to
foreign workshops ) If some one tolls mo
tlrat labor ls not sufficiently rewarded hero ,
does bo hope to have its rewards increased
by. striking . down our protective duties
and compelling our workmen to compete
IM uaaeryald labor , of Europe ,
[ Cheers.1 I conclude by saying that less
work and lower wages are nn inevitable ret
suit of the trlumnh of the principles advocated -
catod by the democratic party.
And now vou will excuse u further speech
from mo. There nro hero several dlstiuc
gulshcd advocates of republican principles.
You will bo permitted to hear now , I understand -
stand , from Hon. Henrv W. Hlalr , senator
from the state of Now Hampshire , who has
been no long at the head ot the committee
on education and labor In the United States
senate , nnd to-night , In tills hall , you will bo
permitted to listen to Hon. William McICInI
Icy , Jr. , of Ohio. [ Cheers. ] Now will you
allow mo again to thank you out of n full
heart , for this cordial tender of your con 11 *
donee and respect. I felt that In return I
could not omit to sny what I have laid , not
because you needed to bo assured of my
friendliness , but in recognition of the co-nil-
dcnco that falsehood and slander could not
shake. I have not thought It in peed taste to
make many personal references to my public
addresses. If anyone thinks-It necessary
that comparison should bo Instituted bo-
ween the candidates of the two great pari
les as to their friendliness to the reforms
lemandcd by organbcd labor , I must leave
ithers to make It. [ Great cheering ]
The oxeltomont occasioned by the personal
ature of the subjects dealt with by General
larrlsou continued to pcrvado the audicnco
everul moments after his departure , and
undrcds followed him out of the hall and
hcercd vociferously as ho stepped into the
nrriago with Major McKinle.v and was
riven homo. After General Harrison's do-
arturo Senator Hlair delivered n long ad-
rcss on the subject of labor and education ,
n the evening ho and Major McKinley and
Senator Spooncr were guests of General
'larnson.
Ttuirninn nt Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI , Oct. 2o. The democratic day
, t the exposition hero Is n success. The
vcathcr Is line and the crowds are large. A
; reat many visitors called during the day
, nd were received In Judge Thurnmn's par-
or. At 2 o'clock the party was driven about
ho town and to the reviewing stand. Tlio
itrects were well filled with people and about
.ha stand the streets were packed. There
vcre eight divisions composed of local and
islting democratic clubs , nil of whom
houtcd vigorously us they passed the stand ,
t took exactly ono hour for the procession
o pass the stand. The exposition buildings
vero crowded and Music hall was llllcd with
pwards of eight thousand people. When
, udgo Thurmun was Introduced ho was en-
.hustustiually cheered. Ho said in sub-
itancc :
Gentlemen : Wo are in the midst of nn
xtrnordlnary campaign , the most oxtraordi
iary campaign tnat I have ever gone through ,
nany as I have taken part in during my Jife.
.Vo . nro in a campaign in which our ndvcrsa-
ies have the boldness and audacity to toll
ho people that the way to make the people
ich is to make thorn pay moro
axes than their government wants.
Applause. ] That the way to benefit
he condition of n man is to tax him from the
Town of his head to the soles of his feet on
jwrything ho wears , clothing , household
utensils , implements of his trade nnd evcry-
linij which Is necessary to his existence and
; omfort as an American eiti/en. And that Is
jailed protection to the laboring man , as if
, -ou could protect the laboring man uy robbing
ilm of his earnings and verifying the old
saying of "robbing 1'ctor to pay Paul. " This
t deception nnd delusion.
Hero followed a lengthy analysis of the
relation of labor to capital and the relation
if both to the country , in which the speaker
-aid there could not bo a single dollar added
0 the wealth of .the world except by labor.
Judge Thurman was then interrupted by ap
plause , when ho produced hi bandana.
"Vou cheer that old bandana',1 said
: io , "but I would llko to know how in
the world I ever would have gotten
hat bandana for .vou to cheer had it not been
'or labor. ( Prolonged applause. ) Labor
nado it. My labor enabled mo to obtain
money enough to buy it , and your labor will
uiako you wealthy enough to live in peace ,
in quiet nnd in comfort if you
will only understand what is your
own best Interests. " Ho then wont on
to say that the annual production of wealth
' .n this world is divided into three or four
. ( arts. Ono part of it goes to the capitalist ,
who furnishes the money. He lends his
iioncy out at interest , nnd nobody begrudges
Him his interest if ho only charges reasona
ble interest. Another part of it goes to the
nmnufactuier , the man who carries on busi
ness , and ho makes his protit as a recom
pense for nis labor and his work und his
skill , and nobody opjccts to his having n
reasonable compensation. The remaining
part goes to the laborer to pay for his wages ,
and if hogc fair wages und honest wages ,
then ho docs not complain , But If ho does
not get his fair share , if ho is
oppressed , if ho Is trampled down under foot ,
if his labor is exacted from him without duo
compensation , then ho Is a defrauded man
und ho ought to complain.
Some Gorman in tlio audience , handing
the speaker an old horseshoe , said : "I
picked It up during the time the procession
was passing. That means victory. It Is a
horscshoo. "
Judge Thurman I thank you , sir. I will
take it homo with mo. I will nail it on my
door and keep these republican witches that
preach protection from entering my house
hold. ( Great cheering. ]
A Voice Nail it oa.tuo white house door.
[ Laugiitor. ]
Judge Thurman continued : What gave you
the right to vote ? Democratic principles. It
Is nil in ono sentence , written by the hand of
the lather of American democracy , Thomas
Jefferson , nnd found in that immortal docu
ment , the declaration ot our independence.
That sentence is : "All men nro created free
and equal. " That is the foundation stone of
democracy. Democracy sprang from that
sentiment. That sentiment has done nil for
the human race that has been done in the
way of ameliorating their condi
tion from the dav that sentence was
written down to this day. I defy any man
living to point out to mo ono single ameliora
tion of the condition of the human race in
Christendom , ono single improvement of the
condition of the laboring men , that has not
been the result of democratic principles.
Why , some ono may say , hero were the
southern states , that were democratic , nnd
they had negro slavery. Yes , but that sen
tence of Thomas Jefferson all men arc cre
ated equal sprouted up nnd grow up , nnd
in the end made shivery impossible in any
part of the territory of the United States.
[ More applause. ] Our republican friends
say to the colored man that they bet him
free. They set him free I They would have
been in slavery for ton centuries to como If
they depended on them to set thorn free.
Those words from Thomas Jefferson's mouth
and from his pen nro the words that set
them free in the end. It took time to
do it , but in the end it did do it ,
and therefore I say it again , and I
say It without fear of successful
contradiction , that no improvement In the
rights or in the condition of laboring men in
Christendom has ever been produced except
by the influence of democratic principles.
In conclusion ho said : Whoever thinks
that the democrats of this county cannot ilnd
out their own Interests , cannot appreciate
the benefits conferred upon them , and can
not work to promote thorn , will llnd hlmsolf
the most disappointed man that ever pre
dicted the fate of the country [ cheers ] , nnd
1 think that on the sixth day of next month ,
God willing , God favoring us , we will teach
them n lesson that will mnko them cease to
talk nbout the democratic party being its
worst enemy. [ Great cheering. |
At the conclusion of Judge Thurman's
speech president Jnmca Allison read the fol
lowing message from Washington :
1 very much regret tust Mrs. Cleveland
nnd myself must deny ourselves tbo pleasure
of being present nt the exposition on demo
cratic day , .ml wo can only say that our dis
appointment is greater than that of these
who have kindly invited us.
GltOVEH Cl.EVEI.lND.
Speaker J. G , Carlisle was then Intro-
duccd. Mr. Carlisle began his romarka by
saying ;
After the arguments made by the next
vlco president ot the United States , It seems
entirely unnecessary for uio to attempt to
say anything , As nn old fashioned repie-
scntativo of old fashioned deinocraeyi Thur-
man speaks with authority. Whatever ho
states concerning the principles and policy of
the democratic party may bo accepted Uy the
people of the country as tlio truth.
The speaker agreed with Judge Thurman
In his remarks concerning the connection of
the laboring man to the democratic party ,
saying that there Is no part of the people of
the United States who nro so much indebted
to the democratic party and democratic prin
ciples for their prosperity nnd growth as the
people | : of the great northwest. To it they
owe. in the llrst place , the vast
territory which they inherit. To it
they ewe religious liberty , which
was established for all time in the north-
vest by the ordinance of 1737. To it they
c iwo exemption in that ordinance from the
I nstltutlon of slavery. Ho then referred to
t ho convention at Vincenncs , Ind. , presided
c pver by William Henry Harrison In 1802 ,
\ , vhlch petitioned the continental congress to
i ict aside the sixth article of ordinance ot
1 787 and establish slavery In the northwest
1 crritory. That petition , upon being sent to
< xmgresa and referred to a committee , was
i cported against by John Randolph of
toanokc , a Virginian and a democrat. When
, ho ordinance ol 1787 was passed there wcro
iresent only the representatives of eight
itutos , fiveof which were southern , nnd not
i i single state voted against that ordinance ,
und i the only Individual representative who
, 'otcd against it was Mr. Yatesof Now York.
The republican argument Is that If the
roducts of foreign labor are admitted to this
: ountry free of duty , or with a low rate of
duty , the wages of the laboring men must bo
equalized , and that they will be equalized ,
: iot by increasing rates In foreign lands , but
by decreasing wages ut home. One single
'act in our history will refute that proposl-
, lon. Absolute free trade exists between
.hirty-eight states of this union , and yet the
wages of the various states are not equalized.
Statistics show that in some occupations 50
per cent , and In some iO per cent moro wages
nro paid In Chicago than in New York. I am
not arguing to show that free trade would bo
u good thing In this country. I um not even
trying to show you that a reduction of rev
enue duty upon Imported goods would be a
good thing ; but I um stmplv answering the
republican theory. I do believe that n reduc
tion of taxes upon the necessities
of llfo would be of infinite advant-
ige , not only to laboring mon , but
.o all the people of this country ,
.hus enabling our manufacturers to enter all
the great markets of the world , but 1 do not
believe that by so doing it will reduce the
ivages paid to laboring men In this country.
If this is done the United States will have
access to all the best markets of the world ,
and England will cease to be protected by
the laws of the United States. I um In fnvor
of reducing taxes not only to relieve the
laboring man but also because it is absolutely
necessary to reduce the surplus revenues of
the government. Some of our repnblican
friends during the late debate in the house
ridiculed the idea , some of them that there
was n surplus nnd some of them went so far
as to say that it was a good thing , anyhow.
There are two ways of reducing revenues.
One is by reducing taxes that is the old
"ashloned democratic way. The other is by
ncreasing taxes upon imported goods to
such a rate us to be prohibitory ,
nnd therefore prevent the government
from receiving any duties that is
the new fashioned republican plan. Of four
teen schedules embraced in the senate tariff
bill the duties are increased In eleven of
them , and these eleven nro schedules which
embrace , except wine , liquors , tobacco , silk ,
und silk goods , necessaries of life. Mr.
Blnine says that the democratic administra
tion has acted most outrageously with regard
to this surplus , and complains because the
secretary of the treasury has deposited a
part of this surplus in various national
banks , so that the people might have access
to it and use it if necessary in the prosecu
tion of their business.
Mr. Carlisle differed from Mr. Elaine's
Chicago speech in relation to the surplus ,
claiming that Mr. Bluino had misstated
facts in relation to the action of the present
congress in reference to the surplus.
Ho then reviewed the action taken
by the democratic pirty in relation to the
surplus revenue , and appealed to the audi
cnco IT ho had not stated both facts correctly.
Ho said that Mr. Blaine in his Goschen
speech had gone out of his way to make an
attack on him , and that he intended to refer
to him at length on Indiana soil shortly. Ho
concluded by referring to the candidates in
the Held. To President Cleveland he referred
as a grand representative of democratic
principles ; to Thurman as a man whose very
presence is nn inspiration to the democracy
of this land ; to General Harrison as a very
respectable lawyer out there nt Indianapolis ,
nnd to Hon. L. P. Morton as a very rich
banker of Wall street.
Before Judge Thurman left the hall , nnd
while Carlisle was speaking , the children
who had represented the states came forward
and presented him with a beautiful Moral
tribute. Judge Thurman leaves at 7:45 : In the
morning for Lima , wucro ho will speak in the
afternoon.
Hewitt On tlio National Ticket.
NEW YOIIK , Oct. 2. . In a letter to the
chairman of the county democracy ratifica
tion meeting to-night at Cooper Union ,
Mayor Hewitt uses these words relative to
national results : "Somo persons seem to
think that multiplicity of candidates may
injure the national ticket. I see no reason
for this opinion. Hut if it bo true it is not
my fault , ns I have exhausted every honor
able effort to secure u union of the party upon
some democrat who would not represent a
faction. I regard the success of the national
ticket us a paramount consideration. G rover
Cleveland possesses the confidence of the
masses , because ho has earned it by his un
swerving honesty , his courage aud his inde
pendence , nnd the name of Allen G. Thur
man is u household word with the people. "
To Prevent Illueal Voting.
New YOIIK , Oct. 25. The national repub
lican committee to-diy paid over to John
Hrodener , of No. 149 Madison street , the
sum of $2,000 for causing the arrest and con
viction of George Gordon , who falsely regis
tered at the polling place at No. 143 Madison
street. Twenty-thrco thousr.ud dollars still
remain of the sum set apa-rt as a regular
fund for the prevention of illegal voting.
Unn's Clever Soliomo "Busted. "
NEW YOIIK , Oct. 25. [ Special Telegram to
Tun HEE. ] Dan Lament is credited with
originating a great game for Cleveland to
play while ho is hero next Saturday to re
view the democratio parade. It is a sly
dodge to catch the foreign vote and the trick
is to be a reversal of the Burchard affair
which defeated Hlalno four years ago. Sev
eral speeches are to bo made to the presi
dent nnd then a friendly UUrchard is to take
a hand. Ho will rail out against foreign
voters at a terrible rate and declare , they are
given too many advantages in this country.
Then Cleveland will sail into htm with a
stinging rebuke. Ho will draw himself up
and decline to allow the man to speak fur
ther to him on the subject , and will then eu
logize our foreign-born citizens. The information
mation that this scheme has been concocted
comes direct from Washington , where the
whole subject has been discussed aud Cleve
land's speech prepared. The premature ex
posure of the brilliant move may lead to its
abandonment , Just us the publication of
Cleveland's intention to call congress to
gether with another retaliation message
caused him to abandon that plan.

LONDON , Oct. 25. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to TUB Bun.l Ono of the
most remarkable instances of a futile effort
to maintain an American exchange in Lon
don Is that of the American and Colonial ex
change and club in Northumberland avenue
which opened this year with a nourish of
trumpets in splendid quarters but which is al
ready lighting off creditors who are clumor-
ig for unpaid bills. The history of this pnr-
Iculnr Institution , which matcnalirod just
irior to the funeral of the late lamented
imcrlcun exchange in London , Is wrapped
i mystery. It was announced to open on
day 1. The preparations were certainly
.mbitious. Henry F. Glllig's ' establishment
n the Strand had well nigh petered out an d
respects of the new exchange certainly ap
Beared rosy , If sumptuous quarters , big
ilgns and a general "damn the expense" air
go for anything. But all is not gold that
flitters. There appeared to bo from the
Irst some botch In the' American and Colon-
al exchange. Not that there was anything
acking in the matter of appointments.
Sverything was organised with the greatest
uxury. The position was magnificent In the
lead central quarters of the American
: olony. Colonel Woldsley Cox , the sccre-
ary , an ex-colonel of militiawho reluctantly
uitted his regiment some time ago , was
more than willing to Show visitors over the
ircmises and draw attention to the luxury of
he fittings. Not only , pxplainod the colonel ,
had they taken the extensive basement anu
llrst und second floors , but they would at an
: urly date have the entire building , the top
: leers to bo let out ns high class chambers to
American millionaires who would be along
hortly. The Dusomcnt had been admirably
[ irr.iycd and the members of the club would
lounge and smoke dollar cigars with the ut
most comfort and to the envy of the mere
mortals in the great hotels opposite. Mr.
Cook it Son were to occuuy ono portion.
They were to conduct the banking and ticket
; > ortion of the business for millionaires.
Their names were emblazoned upon the windows
dews and people said : ' 'This is solid , Cook Is
u it. " The other extremity of the lloor was
occupied by Messrs. Keith , ICrowso &
'o. ' , a lirm of the very highest
standing , who opened a stall for the
sale of books , newspapers and theatre
ickcts to amuse the1 millionaires. Their
iresencc added still further credit to the in
stitution. On this iioor also was a bureau
for the receipt and forwarding of mall mat
ter , an oftico for the manager und a room
where members might sit and talk or write
letters to the Icings an& queens they knew.
There was also a cablajroom where million"
hires might shako Wai } street when so In
clined , without leavinjratie promises. There
was u cable code by which any member , once
ho got his combination on the code book ,
would bo able to cable all day to New York
for a mere tritlo. In fact , a few words would
mean so much that What a member would
send In live minutes would occupy his friends
ut homo a week in deciphering , and afford no
end of amusement , and which would beat
the Children's magazine all hollow. The
colonel made a very constant use of the
names of Messrs. Cook & Sous who , ho said ,
wcro very largely interested in this under
taking. They had taken hold of the banking
and ticket department , and ho gave a nod
that seemed to suggest millions generally.
Colonel Cox's talk allowed one to infer that
the great firm of Cook & Son were at the
back of this business.
"We nro going to start a newspaper of our
own , " said Colonel CorJ "and of course that
will bo a largo source of profit. " In fact ,
the secretary had big aspirations.
"Here , " said Colonel Cox , mounting to the
llrst floor , "will bo tbe dining rooms. This
small room will be reserved specially for
ladies and the far room will be used as a
reading and smokingx pm after dinner. Wo
are going to have an American cook because ,
of course , our membprs , although they nro
'
all immensely rich , wflt'want little delicacies
like buckwheat eakes nd such things. Wo
have already engage ! * very eminent col
orcd cook. Of coursa all Americans drink
lots of champagne and that pays well. "
Colonel Cox was full of enthusiasm. Ho ex
plained witu bated breith how , without ever
taking a single subscription , bo had pro
vided nn income for tub establishment which
alone would yield enormous prolits ,
The 1st of May came , but somehow the
American and Colonial Exchange nnd club
opened not and for nofirly six weeks there
were no signs of animation. The members
of the staff virtually wasted the glories of
their gold braided uniforms upon the desert
air. Big gold letters extending over the
front of the building , proclaimed the "Amen ;
can and Colonl.il cxeliinu'C , " but something
was lacking. Up to a certain point the ex
pcndituro has been lavish , perhaps almost
prodigal , but the public were a bit suspicious.
Tnoy read pamphlets ijsuod by the exchange
telling of the enormous bcnoflts ucrulng to
those who were willing to pay the member's
fee of three guineas. 'Atnciric.ins love to reg
ister. Accordingly VV < TO largo books were
provided , wherein visitors could Inscribe
their names and addresses. But Americans
are long headed. They read the pamphlet
from end to end , but eich ono rsmarked that
no name was attached ] to it. They wanted
to know In the event of their purling with
their subscriptions who the receiver was , and
whether ho was a responsible person. The
recollection of H. P. GTillIg was fresh In their
minds and they foughtshy. It did not look
qulto healthy they thought , and ypt there
was an owner named .Dwight C. Colder , described
scribed us of New Yerk. This gentleman
whether from nervtousness or modesty ,
kept himself very/ ) decidedly m the >
background. Secretary Cox was the
outward and visible sign of the in
ward and retiring Colder. When seen Mr
Golder was a gcntlemin of exceedingly high
principles. Hosooke'ln sadly reproach fu
accents of the conduct of Henry tGllllg ,
his lack of business tilent and how it pained
him to see a man wha , as Gllllg had done ,
failed to keep hla wprd or contracts , and
Secretary Wolsoloy Cox sat by and chimed
in , like the clerk , with a deep-toned and in-
dorslnganicn. It ivas an edifying lesson
upon financial incraUty. Very edifying , but
people will talk. The quosrloj : wasjiskod
pver and over again , "When is the American
and Colonial exchange going to open I1' '
Thero-were several people Interested in this ,
question. A gasflttcr , a fisherman and a fuW
people who had deposited subscriptions.
These latter wanted to know where tbe
American cook was who was going to pro
vide them with buckwheat cakes and pork
and beans. Strangely enough the cbonr
chef came not. The range lu which ho waste
to have cooked the canvass-back ducks and
terrapin remained unused. The weekly
paper , however , appeared. It was nn am-
bilious periodical with Interesting cable
grams from America , remarkably llko these
published previously In the New York
Herald European edition. Colonel Cox talked
of the responsibilities of Journalism and the
emperor's profits they proposed netting over
this enterprise. Strange to say , however ,
the Gazette , as it was called , after a few
weeks' publication , during which It honored
several prominent Americans by publishing
their portraits , disappeared from the sphere
of actualities.
Early In September a blight came over the
exchange and club. The employes in gold-
braided livery began to look us though they
and solid beef steak had been strangers for
some time , and , If they were to bo believed ,
they had not received any wages for some
time , and hud to pawn their effects In order
to make both ends meet. Tradesmen were
getting importunate. The colored cook , ns
well as the champagne drinking Americans
were still mythical. The cable ofilco had re
mained untenantcd. Cook & Son , supposed
to be the backbone and support of the Insti
tution , closed their much vaunted banking
and ticket concern and on retiring gummed
up on the windows : "This oOlco Is perma
nently closed , " At the same time a certain
number of seedy looking individuals with
shiny coats hovered about the Interior of the
building. No ono could mistake them for
subscribers. They were what Is commonly
termed "men In possession. " The first
batch of thcso individuals came on behalf of
a leading institution. Their claims wcro ad
justed by the landlord , Mr. fiarltell ,
of Messrs. Perry ft Co. , contractors of Cone
street. Not only had the gas fitter , the fish
monger and others remained unpaid , but n
large sum was owing to the landlord. The
cellar of wine which was to have provided
nectar for the American gods was scaled up
by the seedy Individuals. They took off
everything nnd even seized , In the name of
the law , u bookcase filled with yellow-
backed works of fiction belonging to Messrs.
Keith , Prowse & Co. This was hard , for that
firm had paid their rent regularly from the
beginning and had never seen a penny of It
back. Now Messrs. Keith , Prowso < k Co.
have withdrawn , but their bookcase
and books remain confiscated by
the seedy individuals. On September
22 the following paragraph In the papers
opened the eyes of certain subscribers to Mr.
Dwlght C. Goldor's Exchange. Mr. George
Glanvllle , of the American exchange and
club , Northumberland avenue , made appli
cation before Mr. Vnughan , at Bow street ,
for advice In the following circumstances :
Ho stated that ho had received an appoint
ment on the staff of the club in May lust ,
signed by Colonel Walsley Cox , nn alleged
cousin of Lord Wslsley , engaging him for
three years. From the first he hod ex
perienced considerable difficulty in getting
his salary , and for some considerable time
had received nothing. The balance duo him
was iI3S ( ( . He wished to ask his worship to
whom ho was to apply for settlement of his
claim. The manager and proprietor , Mr.
.Bright O. Colder , of New-Vprk , had
actually engaged him , but the letter WAS
signed by Colonel Wal ly Cox , secretary.
He had since been Informed that Colonel
Cox was not secretary , nnd that tbo company
had never been registered at the Somerset
house. Mr. Vaughan advised the applicant
to Instruct a solicitor to got a Judge's order
to discover the responsible persons.
Such Is the somewhat strange and check
ered history of the latest American exchange
In London , and practical people are begin
ning to ask whether there is room for such
an institution. _

On the reassembling of the Parnell com

resumed his address lu behalf of the Times.
Ho dilated on the relations between the
Pnrncllitcs and the members of the
American league , contended that the
league originated in America , and
declared that it was n conspiracy hatched in
Aniei lea and effected by American money.
The members of the league in America were
dynamiters and advocates of murder and
they had Parnellltes ns accomplices. Ho de
nounced Fmcrty , Hedpath and ICoasa as dy
namiters who had plotted for the most vil
lainous outrages. Ho said it was absurd to
say that Parnell had no relations with Pat

Sir Lloncll ConfesHCH the Authorship
of a Silly Letter.
WASIIINOTON , Oct. 23. The excitement In
governmental circles out of the Lord West-
Murchlnson correspondence Is still unabated.
The facts of the now famous episode are us
follows : Mr. Murchlusou , a resident of Los
Angeles , Cala. , claiming to bo nn American
citizen of Drltinh extraction , some days neo
wrote n letter to Lord Sackvillo West , the
British minister to the United States , asking
him . for advice how he , a native of England ,
should vote In the coming presidential elec
tion. To this the British minister replied In
B private letter , advising Murchlnsou to cnst
his vote for President Cleveland. Lord
West's letter was given publicity In the
newspapers and much comment , generally
unfavorable to the letter , was created. Sec
retary Bayard returned to Washington to
night nnd made the following stntumeut to a
representative of the Associated Press touch
ing the matter.
"Yes. I have read both letters. I have
not seen the British minister since ho went
to Europe last spring until ho called upon mo
this morning nt the department of stato.
Lord Sackville West has no other or bettor
means of knowledge of the Intentions of the
president than any ono of the 05.000,000
) f American people. His personal opinion is
ivorth no moro than any ono of them on the
ground of knowledge , and much less on the
ground of Interest In the subject. Whllo
hero must be a consensus of opinion as to
he Impropriety of the expression of hull-
; iduul vlows by any ono holding the position
) f foreign snvoy , it Is still to bo hoped that
n-o will be able to settle the issues Involved In
ho pending campaign without the importa-
lon of foreign interference or Intermeddling
n our domestic affairs.
"Tho American people will bo prompt to
resent nnd repel as impertinent any such at
tempts. But they will easily recogubo the
polltlcall pitfal arranged by the California
.etter with its object so plainly stumped upon
ts face and addressed to the British min
ster. Into which ho has no surprisingly
itumbled. Such petty schemes to create the
'all of despairing politicians will bo held in
proper estimation by popular Intelligence. "
Minister West was shown the Interview
ivith Secretary Bayard this evening , und
isked what ho had to say about U. He said :
'Nothing. I don't care to criticise it. The
Better sent from California was undoubtedly
written for the purpose of entrapping me.
In u few days I expect to DO in a position to
make public the manner in which
the affair was planned nnd the Iden
tity of tbo persons concerning it.
The efforts which are being directed
to the discovery of the tricksters wore Insti
gated by mo , and I think I shall succeed in
making everything plain. "
"At your interview with Secretary Bavard
this morning , did you discuss till imntteri"
asked the reporter.
"Oh , yes , " replied Lord Sackville ; "natur
ally enough , wo alluded to the matter but
not at any length. "
"Did Secretary Bayard intimate to you this
morning the publication of his views as olll-
ciaU1' '
"I do not know , " said the diplomat , "that
ho has made public any odlciul utterances ;
but , " ho continued , with suggestive empha
sis , "I understand that this published state
ment which you have shown mo has mot
with the approval of others as prominent
politically or moro so than the secretary of
state. "
This was understood to mean that the
president had sanctioned the secretary's ac
tion.
tion."This
"This matter has annoyed you somewhat ? "
"Yes , " said the minister. "It has annoyed
me , but only to a trifling extent. I have
nothing to bo sorry for , however , except that
I was trapped. This affair reveals to mo a
phase in the ways of the American politician
ways that In this instance are dis
tasteful to. mo. In other American
ways I delight'but I would like , to bo ex
cused from having anything to do with poli
tics in the United States. "
The cabinet meetingtoday was a long ono ,
lasting until nearly 8 o'clock. The British
minister's letter-was1 the'Chief topio under

SACK.VIL.tiE'8 INDISCRETION
The Subject of Much Unfavorable
Comment in I nmlon.
ICopi/rfflJit 1SS3 hy James Oonljiifcrmett.l
LONDON , Oct. 25. - [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to TUB BEE. | The Herald
cable to the European edition about Lord
Sackville has been copied hero and excites
press comment. The Evening Globe , the
oldest tory paper , in the course of nn edi
torial headed "Ambassadorial Indiscretion , '
says : "Lord Sackvillo has been the victim
of What Is vulgarly called n 'plant.1 It has
been the policy of the republican election
managers In the pending contest to represent
Cleveland as the friend of England and
Canada and a traitor to the interests of the
United States. With this object , English
newspapers have been carefully read and
every article In favor of Cleveland
land has been copied and placarded
throughout the country as a warning to
American patriots not to vote for him. . If it
were possible to draw from an Englishman
so highly placed as Lord Sackylllo a test !
monlal to the democratic candidate It would
be Invaluable to the wire pullers of the
other side. The ambassador fell into the
trap and the republican organs are nt once
demanding his expulsion und contending that
his letter proves Cleveland to bo the Englisli
candidate. The trick , however , It too ob
vious and too discreditable to have
much effect. It will earn for
its concoctors a reputation for smartness
which goes for PO much In American politics
but it will hardly inlluonco many voters. To
resort to such objectionable tactics mus
rather indeed tend to Injure the cause in
tended to bo benefittcd in the eyes of all rlgh
thinking man. "
The St. James Gazette , also a tory organ
comments thus : "That Lord Sackvillo acted
in perfect Innocence and good taith IB clear
enough , and It is ridiculous for uny American
paper to demand that his passports shall bo
Instantly handed to him , Tlio fixed idea
of some American politicians seems to bo
that England is ready to do anything to help
the re-election of Cleveland. That notion is
a very much .mistaken ono. The personality
of the presidents of the United States Is a
purely domestic question and wo have not
yet found it necessary to intrlguo for the
election of uny pat tl'cular man who is sup
posed to bo well-disposed towards us. "
The Pall Mall GaVotte , a Gladstone organ ,
mildly observes : "A good example of the
value of Kdcnco Is at hand in the mess in
which our minister ut. Washington Is
involved from not keeping his opinions Tor
himself. These is no reason whatever why
Lord Saekvlllo should not have an opinion
about the presidential election , but there Is
every reason why ho would not communicate
it In writing to an unknown correspondent ,
The petition of an ombassador will bo impossible

count of his fatal attack of letter writing.

ances through the mails , but In this instance
Mr. West seems to have forgotten all the

ter. At the sumo time it is not so much thai
the gentleman forgot the precepts of dlplo

publican party just such Information us ig
wanted , namely : That the British govern
ment desires the success of the democratic

In the United States. Every democrat who
has spoucn on the subject to day has con
demned the British minister In no uncertain
language for expressing his private opinion
