THE TOWN TAKES A HOLIDAY.

In Indiana.
Ill.ilno at Norwich.
Nonwjfii , Conn. , Nov. 1. The dwellers
In the eastern cml of this old Yankee com
monwealth took to themselves a holiday to
hear James G. lllainu speak uK > n thd issues
of the campaign in this town to-day. Situ
ated about half wny between the const on
ihn south and the Massachusetts line on the
north , and within half a day's easy travel
for a well kept farm team from llhodo Is
land , the locality was well chosen. Evi
dently so the people thought ns the Norwich
folks to-day were scarcely able to Jlnd each
other , HO overrun und Hooded have
they been with strangers. From over
In little Hhodo Island for twelve
miles there wcro contributions to the crowd ,
nnil over from Hartford und from along the
railway lines the tide set In strong. Eastern
Connecticut had missed seeing Blalne on his
homeward trip from abroad , out to-day the
opportunity had been iniulu for tlictn und
they availed themselves of it to tin * last man
who could leavu his work. The demonstra
tion was the largest ever known here.
Blnlnc1. accompanied by General Adam F.
King , of Baltimore , arrived fiom Now York
by u special train about noon. Ho was driven
to Washington square , in the center of the
city , accompanied by the reception com
mittee. There ho was rnct by lion Morgan
G. Balkley , of Hartford , und Hon. Charles
A. Ilussell , of Killingly. A procession of
20,000 men e corted the part.to Williams
park , wheio an audience of U.i , ( > OU had gath
ered. When the orntor mounted the stand
and presented himself at the rail he was
cheered by thousands , who , when he hud
begun to upcak , were too far away to hear
him. Hon. II. H. Osgood presided. Ad
dresses were mudo by Messrs. Blaine , King ,
Hulkley and Kussell. After discussing the
tariff question Mr. Ulaine said :
I have hero u speech by Mr. Bayard , sec
retary of stato. Mr. Bayard is u peculiar
gentleman [ Laughter. ] He is n gentleman
of veo high sentiment. In fact , there is
nobody who speaks the English language I
know since Joseph Surface who has so line
sentiments as Mr. B.iyurd. [ Laiifhtcr. ] Ho
clothes everything with sentiment. Why , in
Ills speech ho wanted to remark that wo
were u nation of Gr > , GOO,000 of people.
Well , that is u very plain fact , and
there are a great many pcoplo who
know It besides Mr Hayurd , butMr. Biiyairt
did not Hny it in this ( military way. Mr.
Bayard sajs : "And now let us rulso our
minds and lot us elevate our moral vision
and think of what wo nro u nation of lili- ,
OOO.MO people. " | Laughter ] Well , ho might
have got that fact off without such lofty con
templation. But aside from nil Joking , Mr.
Bayard'H speech is devoted to the wicked
conspiracy of the republicans they have all
taken that word ; Mr. Thurman has tukmi
that word wicked conspiracy of the
republicans that cntrupped Lord Snekville
Into writing n letter , und ho calls down the
wrath of the country upon these most wicked
conspirators that got up the letter that Lord
Sackvlllo answered. Now I must suy that
Bayard puts himself in u very peculiar posi
tion , because if there weic u wicked con
spiracy of leading republicans to entrap Lord
Sackvillo into writing an imprudent letter
these conspirators ought to huvo been pun
ished , but Instead of that ho punishes Lord
Siwtkvillo. He savs : "Hero is n most un
principled , monstrous conspiracy against a
man , and in consequence of this conspiracy
against this man , and in con
sequence of this conspiracy of
which I can not get the authors ,
I will send Lord Sackvlllo back homo and
inuko him bear the ums of these conspira
tors. " That is a very rcmarknblo state
ment. They acknowledge that they were
not ( illicit to do it , but after ton days , and
after they hud received advices and tele
grams from all purls of the country that if
they did not start Lord Sackvillo the Irish
vote would start [ Laughter ] then Lord
Suckvillo had to go. It will ho an ugrccablo
thing in England to Lord Salisbury to know
that President Cleveland's administration
deliberately weighed Lord Sackvillo against
the Irish vote und started him. [ Applause. ]
I huvo another paper hero speaking of con
spiracies und wicked things the World ,
which 1 believe is counted n good democratic
organ. It is opposing Abram Hewitt , and
this morning it reproduces the "Morey
letter , " that was forged eight years ago
nguiust the lamented President Gurflold
when ho was the republican candidate , nnd
now the World is belaboring Mr. Hewitt
bccunso ho said it wus a true letter und aided
in putting the forgery into circulation. That
la pretty amusing. [ Laughter und cheers. ]
It opposed Abram Hewitt for mayor of New
York because Mr. Hewitt lent his name as
endorser of the rascnllv scheme of
publishing a forged letter ngainsta republican
candidate. Now , gentlemen , thcro is nn old
udago which I would not wish to quote about
somebody fuillug out and honest men getting
their dues. ( Laughter. ) But I did not ex
pect to live till ono section of the democratic
party would want to swear off the respon
sibility of the Morey letter upon the other.
There It Manila , the nuducious forgery re
produced , u forgery all through ; and one of
the democrats who gave his high reputa
tion ana high character to put it
lu circulation was Abram S. Hewitt ,
nnd it rises up against him now , not from the
republic-mis but from the other democrats ,
nnd when the democrats nil got to exposing
each other that will bo a terrible day. If
they IQ that , the republicans would not need
to havo'stump speeches , or mass meetings ,
or Hugs , or any other paraphernalia to carry
on the election. The election would carry on
itself.
Levity aside , speaking of Bayard's position
in regard to Lord Sackvillo , the domocrutio
imrty never has conducted the affairs ol
the country with Great Britain with
dignity or with advantage to this country ,
Never. And if you will contrast the admin
istration of General Grant and of Abraham
Lincoln In their conduct of affairs with
Great Britain with what has been done by
the democratic party you would ask no other
issues. Wo owe to the democratic party and to
Us bad policy the loss of British Columbia ,
that province on the Pucitlo Co.-ftt. which
would give us the entire coast from Bchrlng
Straits dawn to the Gulf of California , To
the bad diplomacy and surrender of the deuv
ocratlo party wo ewe the reciprocity treats
of 18.VI , In which wo got about ono article tc
forty ns compared with the Canadians , ti
reciprocity treaty which was ninety nine do
grccs on ono side , which was our opponents' ,
nnd ono degree on our bldo , Wo owe that tc
them. In fuel , It is not In the power of the
democratic party to give a single treaty ot
diplomatic procedure they have made with
Great Britain \vhlch redounds to the hoiioi
of this country.
Now , when General Grant was president ,
wo hod the most embarrassing , most trying ,
most delicate question in the world to suttlt
with Great Britain , the question ol
the Alabama claims. The democratic
party could not huvo settled those claims
but , gentlemen , Grunt's administration set
tled those cluinis with honor to this country
with peace between both countries and will
the mutual respect of boh { countries. Th <
democratic party In the first place , hui
blustered with Urcat Britain and then sur
rendered. The republican party has novel
blustered and hus never had anything to sur
render , [ ( treat applause. ] They have ul
Ways conducted thoirscfves with dignity
a'noy have maintained the honor o
the country , and they had rcspec
from their opponents. They have neve
soucht war with Great Britain never ; am
when they agreed with Great Britain , am
made Grout Britain agrco to it , that w <
would submit the Alabama claims to arbltru
lion , \ui gained not only a victory for our
reives , but wo pained a victory for ul
humanity , liudo dlil more ttian uuy othc
nation Iri the nineteenth century to bring to
n qloso the bloody arbitraments of the world.
\N e did more to establish peace as n law and
rule between nations ; we did more to iidd to
the great glory of international arbitration ,
and added the host chapter to international
law , and Great Britain respects the United
States when under the republican pnrty
mor than when under the democratic party.
[ ApnhtUHo ] . All precedents have been in
the line of honor to ourselves anil fair ad
justments with opponents.
Shermun In Indiana *
POUTIAND , Ind. , Nov. 1. Senator John
Sherman made his opening speech in the In
diana campaign hero to-day. The uudicnco
numbered 1. > , ( X)0 ) , und the utmost enthusiasm
prevailed. Senator .Sherman spoke about as
follows :
Fellow Citizens , Ladles anil Gentlemen :
An enterprising democratic editor has said
that John Sherman and the republicans have
given up Indiana. You will nil tell him that
ho lies. But I think that Grovcr Cleve
land nnd nil Ills host , if they could
PC-O this mass of pcoplo reaching far beyond
the human voice , would bo willing to glvo
up the ghost , like Mr. West , of England.
My friend who introduced mo hero to-day
mudo mo n contemporary of some gentle
men who have passed away. You may think
it is about time for mo to pass uwiiv. But I
am not very old. I entered political lifo
when I was a very young fellow , und I say
tojou that 1 huvo mingled In many cum-
palrns , nnd I believe that this one is as Im
portant ns any In which I have participated ;
und If you will vote for your most
gallunt citben for president of the United
States you will hecuro all that has been ac
complished In the lust twenty-four years of
republican triumphs.
Mv fellow citizens , how came the demo-
ruts In power in this countryt Has there
been n thing done In that twenty-four years
of republican administration that every dem
ocrat i.ow within the sound of my voice does
not approve und endorse ? They put
ilown slavery ns u result of the
war. Does unv man or woman
In this country desire to see
shivery restored ? We gave to the people of
this country that which they never had bo-
toro in democratic times. Docs anybody
want to go back to the old shinplasters nnd
wild cat money I We gave this country the
greatest credit that any country over had in
this world , and now the question again comes
up , why was this party turned out of
[ lower ( Why wus It that the demo
cratic party , defeated over and over again
by the loyal Htutes of the union , was restored
again to the control of the union ! I will toll
yon why. I will correct some of you nnd toll
you why , and if I do not , you may correct
me. In the Ilrst place , thcv said that the re
publican party had hoarded up money in the
treasury ; that we had kept it idle and from
circulation , and that if they would get hold
of it they would scatter it out to the pcoplo.
They usually do scatter whatever they get
hold of. [ Cheers. ] They said that
the civil service was incorrectly and
fraudulently used and taken care of.
They wcro going to turn the rascals out ;
they wcro going to have civil service reform.
They said that the republicans worooxtrava-
pant , ni.d if they got into power they would
husband your resources , and that they would
not tax you so much when they came into
power. Did they put out that
money that wus In the treasury ?
No ; no , my friends , that went
on accumulating. When the democratic
party went Into power wo had about $ l'M- '
000,1)00 ) , kept thcro to pay the current ex
penses of the nation , and to maintain the
credit of the country , nnd to redeem bonds ,
etc. That was the amount thnt I tixed for
tbat purooso , based on the experience of
other nutlons. Wo had , besides that , various
other deposits In the treasury , but it was not
the money of the nation. It was held In trust
for private individuals , nnd they had gold
ana silver notes nnd greenbacks for It.
Hero Is the statement of the secretary of
the treasury , and it shows that the amount
on hand now is Si'JOA'OO.OtiG 00. Wo will
thro w oft the (1 ( cents if the democrats think
It Is too much ; that is still $ ! ) . ! ,000,000 moro
than what was In before the democratic party
iame into power.
So now I arraign the democratic party. I
said they promised civil service reform.
They were going to turn the rascals out.
What rascals did they ilnd to turn out ! Was
thcro an oftlccholdcr in Indiana who was
turned out because he was a thief , rascal or
defaulter I I am happy to say to you that
when our administration went out all the
books and papers wcro turned over to the
democrats , and they didn't Ilnd a single re
publican thief , defaulter or rascal in ofllcc.
If they did , where are they J I say , nnd I
say it upon my own responsibility ,
that Grover Cleveland never pietcnued to
cull many men that ho turned out of oftlco ,
from potty postmaster to the highest ofllcer
under his control , rascals. How it will bo on
the 4th of March , when Ben Harrison goes
in. 1 could not say so well.
There is another thing. They said they
would be economical and save your money.
What is the result ) It is shown by the sta
tistics of the last four years of the demo
cratic administration that they cost the people
ple $00,000,000 more than the last four years of
republican administration. I say now that
not u single claim has been fulfilled that was
promised in Ib84. Another thing. At the
tlmo when I was secretary of the treasury ,
whenever thcro was $1.000,000 over what wo
had set aside for the purpose of maintaining
our credit , etc. , I ulway.s applied it on bonds.
How Is it now * Instead of that , the present
secretary , with the consent of the presi
dent , has deposited it with certuin
selected national banks to the amount
of $ ( .0,000,000 , on the pretcnco that It was
better to have the money out among the people
ple rather than to pay bonds.
How have they conducted our foreign nf-
fuirsf Whv. they surrendered the fisheries
question. Thsy gave up everything they
hud , nnd that was not much , and then , when
the scnuto refused to assent to the
treaty , they proposed to retaliate.
On KnglamU On Canada ? No. On
whom ) On the people themselves ,
ami all that this administration has done is
that It lias finally got the approval of Sir
Sackvillo West. The trouble is that Mr.
West simplv told the truth. There Is not a
word In West's letter but what every man
hero knows to bo true. In other words , all
the policy of this administration is in favor
of England , and nil that West
suul was that Cleveland had issued
his rctullntlon proclamation and that
it was only for election purposes. They suy
thnt the letter to West was a forgery. 1 don't
know about that. Maybe It was ; but the
letter from Mr. West was not u forgery. If
I had been in their place I would have said
that West told the truth , nnd that wo uro
standing by him through the whole ;
but they hnvo given you the sack ,
Sir Sackville , and now nil that
remains for you to do Is to
glvo Mr. Cleveland the sack.
Mr. Sherman then went on and discussed
at some length the Mills bill and the tariff ,
and ho then closed with an eloquent appeal
to the Hoosicr voter in behalf of Benjamin
Harrison , tuo hero of Peach Tree Creek , nnd
the man that honored Indiana In the United
States seuato for six years.

Ily Von dcr Ahe.
ST. Lori , Mo. , Nov. 1. A shout of rngo
swept through Sportsmen's Park yesterday
until Von der Ahe throw up his hands in
desperation nnd lied from the scene. The
association champions nro the maddest , most
disgusted lot of ball-players that ever stood
before a bar nnd cursed a manager. The
trouble Is this : At the annual meeting of
the association ? 1'JOO of the money received
from minor Icazuo clubs wus set nsido as n
prlo to be divided among the players of the
team winning the association champion
ship. The Browns won it. When
the series with New York was ar
ranged , the players allege , n contract
was mmle , which is now in possession of
Mutrie , setting forth that the playurs of each
team should receive 9'MO each , win or lose.
The Browns lost. After the scries a benefit
gmnc was arranged which netted the players
of each tr-atn $ . ' 3 each. The New Yorks re
ceived their share but the Browns have not
received the association prize monev , nor the
$ UjO ( for the world scries , nor the { Si benefit.
Von der Aho , they claim , has pocketed
everything in sight , and told them they were
"chumps. " King says : "I will never pitch
another ball for that fellow if 1 csn help it.
He hns gouged every pluycr in the team out

The Election of n Successor to Gen
eral ftlanncer Stone.
Citicuio , Nov. 1. H. B. Stone hns been
appointed second vice president of the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Qulncy system. E. P.
Klploy succeeds Mr. Stone as general mana
ger of the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy
east of the Missouri river. The changes
took effect to-day.
In mentioning the changes the Times prints
the following : "Tho stand taken by Jilr.
Stone on the labor question is said to have
had nothlnir to do In bringing about the pres
ent chniiKO in his duties , ns his course during
the strike , whether prudent or imprudent ,
was sanctioned , nnd perhaps to some extent
directed , by persons higher in authority. At
the same time , it is the belief of many dis
interested persons thnt the change will have
the oltect of calming the prejudices that exist
in certain quarters on account of the attitude
of the management during the strike , and
will therefore be beneficial to the company.
Thcro Is some speculation us to whether Paul
Morton will succeed Mr. lliplcy intho posi
tion of trafllo manager or remain at the head
of the freight department. This seems to bo
a question that is not yet definitely settled. "

McShanc's pastor letter addressed to Chair

and other republicans promlscuosly through
out the state anil received to-duy , Mr.
Hlchnrds replies us follows :
LINCOLN , Nov. 1. Hon. J. A. McShanc ,
Democratic Nominee for Governor , Dear
Sir : Yours of the 2'Jlh ' inst. asking my sup
port niiit enclosing your letter of acceptance
with pasters with vour name thereon duly
received and noted.
Let us consider the question. Your letter
does not compare well with your record
which I have hud occasion to loolc up in the
past two weeks. You claim to be a
friend of the soldiers. If this be true why
ilid you vote against grunting an honorable
discharge to company O , First regiment , Second
end brigade , Nebraska militia , when not u
.lollnr of appropriation was nskcdt
Yon grossly misrepresent the tax njattcr
n Nebraska us compared with the states of
Minnesota , Iowa and Kansas. Every honest
man knows that our taxes In dollars and
cents nru less than In cither of the states
mentioned
You are In favor of our present high
icense law but vigorously opposed its enact
ment.
In your letter vou refer to rtotcctive asso
ciations as contrary to Rood government.
Vet when In the legislature In Iti&l you
voted to incorporate detective associations.
You speak of the benevolent Institutions of
our state , but voted against an appropriation
for the Institution you commend highly in
your letter.
You are in favor of the laboring man. Yet
in tun legislature you refused to vote for the
mechanics' lien law.
I flnd uowhero In your letter a refercnco to
the purity of the ballot , the very
foundation stone of our government.
It is publicly charged that your
seat In congress was purchased. Wo Itnow
that you are trying to buy your way to the
governor's chair. Let me say that Tammany
politics are out of place in Nebraska , and
your efforts to blacken the character of an
honest uian like General John M. Thnycr ,
that you may be the castor enabled to accom
plish your design , is something " that you will
regret in your maturer years. IJecauso you
are princely rich , for ydu and nil your rela
tives are rich and proud , is no excuse to at
tack General Thayer in a slanderous and
untruthful manner. To bo sure , Gen
eral Thayer is poor and is not
the owner of a roof to cover his
head , but this is often looked upon as an In
dication of honesty. Rascals In high otllccs
ore seldom poor. Governor Thayer could
have been $2,500 richer hail he followed your
advice and vetoed the gambling bill of last
session. A few years hence , when the dem
ocratic party shall have passed out of exist
ence and you have become a truthful and
honest man , your ofllulal .record will bo a
tender spot to you , but he-errand old party
will , with that contf Mutton for which
It has over been' noted , do by
you as it did by another gubernatorial can
didate wo know of obliterate the record
and say to you , " Go and sin no more. " Then
when you are forever sure that men will not
hold up your detective record , your monopoly
ely record and all your obnoxious doings , in
cluding your tear-stained appeal for tno
gamblers and the record you have
made for bribery to obtain a seat
In Congress you can sit down
with your family , and with a consciousness
that your many shortcomings nro forgiven.
Think over the past and you will then bo In
a mood to appreciate the four years of honest
administration given to the great common
wealth of Nebraska by that poor but honest
man , John M. Thayer. Very truly yours ,
L. D. KiciiAiius.

STROMSDURO , Neb. , Nov. 1. [ Special to
THE BEE. ] The largest and most enthusi
astic republican rally of the campaign was
held here this evening. Long before the

At the state department the utmost ro-
tlconco Is manifested regarding the Sack
villo matter. Secretary Bayard himself Is
ub ent from the city , and those in charge
refuse absolutely to say anything whatever
upon the subject. The somewhat wcvoro
criticism which the secretary received In sev
eral quarters because he had spoken very
freely to reporters hns served to close up tha
deputtinont as nn uvonuo of Information as
effectually us the criticism of the secretary
himself lias closed the British legation
ngalnt-t all seekers after Information. Mr.
J. Fenner Lee , chief clerk of the department ,
was asked to-day if it was the Intention of the
department to give out for publication
the letter of Secretary Bayard to Lord Sack
villo. Ho i epllcd that It was not and that no
Information regarding It would bo published
unless congress should demand copies of the
letter , In which event it would be submitted
to the house calling for It , In all probability , h
and by that means may become publlo prop- ii i
erty. Very little can bo learned us to ex-
Minister West's intentions. There was u I
rumor current to-duy to the effect that his
lordship intends to leave for New York to
night , and would sail diicctly to London.
This rumor could not bo traced to uny reli
able source , und It was utterly impossible to
get any Information regarding the movements
of the ex-minister at the legation building.
When jour correspondent sent u note up
there this evening ashing Second Secretary
Herbert whether or not the repot t was true ,
ho was mot by u courteous but linn declina
tion to su.\ anything whatever upon the sub
ject. Lord Suckville has been in uttemiunea
upon the races this week and seems to huvo
enjoyed the sport in wpitool the strain under
tvhlcli ho labors. It is said that ho risked
no money und micceodcd in capturing
uiito u good many American dollars ycstor-
Jny and to-day , which miy prove some
slight balm to his wounded feelings. The ex-
inliiister seems to bo preparing for a .speedy
departure. Whether or not ho will leave
Washington this week is problematical , but
uronml the legation building to day there
weto evidences of prui irations for leav
ing. Several trunks and poitmunteans
were sent away to bo repaired and the ser
vants wcro bustling iironml as though en-
gueed in collecting together the personal
property of the ex-minister's family. The
only thing which could bo learned dcllnltely
was that one of the closest of the minister's
diplomatic friends said to another friend this
ufternoon that Lot d Sackville will leave he
lot o the 15th. In diplomatic circles hero this
nftei noon the opinion was very freely ex
pressed that Lord Sackvlllo will bo assigned
to some other mission , und the general
opinion wus that his next assignment would
bo In the nature of n promotion , nnd that St.
Petersburg would bo his ministerial resi
dence. This is , of course , a mere surmise.
Nothing can bo known ns to the intentions of
the British homo olllco. . ,1 ,

no other Improvement beyond the plowing qt

offered to sell out entirely to nnothor man
for $50. The local olllcers held the entry fet
cancellation. Pending the Karbk contest
Campbell initiated a section contest ,
basing his claim ngulnst KursU
on the ground that the o iglnul
homesteader hud not abandoned the
tract m question for u period of six months
next prior to the beginning of Kursk's contest -
test , although ho hud subsequently aban
doned It entirely. The decision of the com

bo of value to other contestants in the futura
