shadow of reason for accepting the certifi
cate ent to him so hurriedly this morning.
If U shall bo necemrr to take legal steps we
shall do no at , Iho earliest possible moment. "
Judge One wa seen yesterday afternoon
nnd asked for hla opinion regarding" the action
of the bolters. The Judge said he did not
"know what the legal aspect of the case was ,
but the moral aspect was plain to him. He
had no sympathy with the bolters. They
had participated In the proceedings of the
convention until things failed to go their way ,
and then they pulled out with a great
nourish ot trumpcls. Ho wan confident that
the bolters would not be sustained by the
rank and file ot Iho democracy. Neither
wan he alarmpd over the outlook. He is
confident lhat Holcomb will be elected , and
that the bolters' ticket will not be recognized
by thft courts ,
SECRETARY BMYSKIl'S SAY.
Samuel M. Smyser , who officiated ns secre
tary of the bolters' convention , and who
boasted thai ho came 600 miles to nominate
n democratic Uckot and not Join the populists , ,
was feellnii go'.d over the tactics of the
'Castorltes. "We've got * em , and don't you
forget lt"sald lid. "The secretary of stale
must place our candldales on the ticket , be
cause they nre the nominees of democracy.
TJie other fellows are populists , nnd the
populists already have a ticket In the field. "
Mr. Smyser stroked his long beard with a
olf-satlsfled air and refused to talk lurthcr.
"I believe lhat If they bad to do It over
' " remarked W. D ,
again they wouldn't do It ,
Oldham last night , referring to the action
ol the delegates , who withdrew from the
convention Wedncslay night. 'T ' was not In
favor of fusion , but I was sent aa a ddcgalo
to that convention and I remained with It.
If they had nailed me to the cross I would
have told them that It was the softest tpot
I Jiad ever rested upon and that It wns that
for which my soul had always thirsted , I
am a democrat. If the bolters' ticket re
mains in the field ! It will poll about 2,000
Votes , all ot wli.jh Majors .would have re
ceived In any other event. Holcomb will
bo elected by 15,000 plurality. Boyd will
beat Morccr In this district. Comb nations
will soon arise which will retire Melklcjohn
In the Third , Stark will be elected In the
Fourth. Kern will defeat Dattgherty , and
Weir will walk over the prostrate form of
Judge Strode. No power on earth can save
the republicans of Nebraska. "
Colonel Frank P. Ireland said last nlghl
that he was apprfnched Wednesday and
asked to be a candidate before the demo- "
cratlo convention. "Told them , " said Col
onel Ireland , "that $10,000 would not Induce )
mo to accept thfr nomination. The men who
voted for me did so without my consent and
against my express wishes. "

NKW ORLEANS. Sept. 27. Middleweight
Champion Fltzslmmons this morning mailed
the following letter to1 Champion Corbett :
Mr. James J. 'Corbett , Champion of the
World Dear Sir ? Al every opportunity.
when my name has boon used In connection
with it battle with you for the world's
championship , you have endeavored to be-
llttlo my claim for a light on the grounds , as
you put II , that t am not lii your class , or
that you have not Been the color of my
money. I am Very 'well aware of the fact
that although I have earned more money
than you at lighting slnco I Imve become
middleweight champion , you can buy and
sell me financially' , no doubt , your faculty
of saving having been better than mine.
Therefore I hope that a (10,000 ( Bide bet will
not stand as a barrier against securing a
match with you. The amount of money thai
I shall put up lias , decided many of tha
championship contests in the past , and I
hope you will not refuse when you sign for
a $25,000 purse , such ns Is offered by the
Olympic club , at the present time. You will
find my name attached without asking for a
loser's ' end.
"In order to show my sincerity to the public
at large I will make you two propositions :
The first , that we. engage the largest hall
in Now York City and give a boxing exhibi
tion , four rounds , scientific points only , for
tlio benefit of the poor of Now York City.
I will giro you. any pledge that you may
demand that I will not attempt to knock
you out. In cane competent Judges decide
that I am not In your class , so far as skill
and science are concerned , I will never ask
for a match with you again.
"Second , I aslc to be allowed to formally
challenga you to give me a chance to meet
you to n finish to decide the world's
championship , accordingto Marquis of
Queensbsrry. rules. In order to again show
my sincerity I hereby deposit the sum of
$10,000 as a side bet , with the privilege of
Increasing It mteron If my financial standing
will allow.
"I most respectfully call your attention to
the fact that I have already signed articles
to meet you before the Olympic club for a
$25,000 purse , winner to take nil. and I trust
you will see your way clear to do likewise.
Respectfully Yours.

never furnished a finer day than this far
the opening ot the republican campaign In
Ohio. The air -was delightfully bracing and
the great crowd that came from far and
near to hear Governor McKlnley make the
second address bo has made this week , open
ing a state campaign , was Inspired by Its
gentle exhilaration. There seemed to be as
many In attendance aa In Indianapolis un
last Tuesday. The whole of the northwest
ern and central sections of the Blute have
sent In large delegations and lite countf )
folk of thu neighborhood nre out In force
Governor McKlnley came up on a special
train from Columbus , which brought several
hundreds of the capital city's republicans
and with him were Hon. S. M. Taylor , secre
tary of state , hi > Is a candidate fur reelection
tion , heading thr state ticket this yi-ar , and
a number ot other leading state onicitils ,
They werc mct nt the depot by G A. It
veterans and local clubs , which formed an
escort which accompanied the party to the
hotel. A number of suggestive sentences were
hold vii on banners by the paraders for 'he
Inspection ot the crowds along the streets
and significantly appearing among them were
pictures of the governor with "McKlnley for
President In fSBC. " conspicuously Inscribed
ThcBo were multiplied many times , not/ only
In tlio pa rail o but In many of the store win-

Introducing Governor JlsKlnley In a few apt
words. The Governor spoke as follows :
PARTISAN CVES OPENED.
Mr. President ami My Fellow Citizens : In
November , 1892. a republican national ad
ministration , able and efficient and patriotic ,
which had conducted the government \\M\ \
marked ability and fidelity ( or nearly four
years , was voted out of power. Both llione
who assisted and those uho opposed thla
decree of the people , for the rnoit part , have
been unhappy and regretful ever since.
There has been given , to the American people
an opportunity for sober reflection , steadied
by the discipline of adversity. It has been
a season of universal education , its lessons
are practical , profitable , and , I believe , pcr-
nianent.
Even the eyes of .Uie blindest partisans
have been opened , ami men who have here
tofore never been able lo see any good In the
republican party and who votitl Its policy
"a fraud and a. robbery" are now eager for
a reconsideration and change.
I doubt If wti fully realize the reliable
reversal In public opinion. It is unexampled
In history and well worth the attention cf
crvery thoughtful observer , and especially
should it be Instructive to those who have a
remnant to serve in the present congress ,
In 1892 the democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Massachusetts was elected by a
plurality ; In 1893 the democratic cindldala
for the same odlce was defeated by n re
publican plurality of 300,697 , votes. In New
York In 1S92 President Cleveland received a
plurality ot 15,518 vet e ; In 1833 the repub
lican Candida , for secretary of state i\ns
electeJ "by a plurality ot 4,484 votes. la
Pennsylvania In 1392 the republican plurality
for the national ticket was 03.747 ; in 1SD3
the republican candidate for state treasurer
received a plurality of 135,416 votes. In
Iowa tlu national republican ticket had In
1802 a plurality of 22,905 ; In 1K93 the re
publican candidate for governor was elected
by a plurality of 32,356. , In Ohio In 1892 the
republican plurality was 1,072 ; In IS93 It v\us
80,995 ,
On January 30 last two congressmen were
elected In the Fourteenth and Fifteenth dis
tricts of New York city at special elections.
The first of these was carried by Hon. L , E.
Qulgg. the republican candidate , by a
plurality ot 934 votes , although the same
district gave a democratic plurality In 1S92
of 8,823. In the other district the repub
licans were not successful , but they reduc < l
the democratic plurality ot 11.SC9 to 4.6S7.
Here was a republican gain of nearly 17.004
in the very strongholds of Tammany , In
Ilhode Island the democratic plurality of
185 In 1S92 was wiped out In 1893 by u re
publican plurality of 5,600. Vermont's re
publican plurality Increased from 19,702 to
nearly 28,000. and Maine's from 11.887 to
more than 37,000.
LOUISIANA'S BOLT.
Thus hastily , continued Governor Mc
Klnley , I have reviewed the revolution ot
public sentiment In the last eighteen months ,
and many of the great statc arc about to
speak. It will be observed , too , that a great
chang In public sentiment ts going on
throughout the south. Only , a few dr.ys ago
the sugar planters of Louisiana , In conven
tion assembled , turned their backt > upon the
democratic party , with which they had all
their lives been associated , and boldly an
nounced their unconditional endorsement and
support of Iho great doctrines of protection
to' American Industries , and thereby allied
themselves with the re pub : I can parly. What
this may mean In the future of our policies
I do not know , but that It muKt have a wide
and beneficial Influence cannot for a monifnl
be questioned. Here Is a large body of the
best buslnesi men In the state , uy tradition
and principle democrats , who for years Imve
been trying to make themselves believe that
the democratic party was not the enemy of
our great Industries , but who now have
been reluctantly forced to abandon their
position and openly declare they are alone
safe In the 'bands of the republican party.
I cannot but commend them tor this
patriotic movement. They need no assur
ance of devotion to all the material Interests
of the south by Ihe republican parly. In
all Its legislation for one-third of a century
II has never overlooked a single southern
interest. Without any aid from tha south ,
with Its entire representation In both
branches of congress for the most part stand
ing In opposition to the republican party In
the stormiest years of tcctlonal prejudice ,
moved by no other consideration but the
public good , the smallest as well as the
largest Industries of the south have been
sacredly guarded and protected , We wel
come to fellowship this great body of Ameri
can citizens \\lio propose henceforth to bo
Americans end stand up for American in
terests , not In one , but In all sections ot our
beloved country.
President Cleveland's letter lo Congress
man Cntchlngx , which con tallied an exhorta
tion to thote who have fought for tariff re
form lo continue the struggle.at \ read and
commented on , How blithely , said Governor
McKlnley , be sounds' the keynote of battle ;
how confidently he again calls to arms every
enemy to our industrial sy&t m and chal
lenges to open warfare Ihe friend of Ameri
can prosperity and American labor. How
scornfully he characterizes aa traitors in his
parly every friend , however hesitating , both
In congress and out , to lh ; cause of American
protection. Nor does h stand alone In tM.i
unpatriotic position. The democracy of Ohio
fully sustain him In their state platform.
The president of thla reinvention , too , Hon.
Frank H. Hnrd , boldly proclaimed that the
war on our Industrial system and working
peopta had luet begun.
What will our verdict b& here In Ohio ?
A democratic victory means further and
longer steps In the direction of free trade
deeper cuts and more deadly blowa upon < mr
Industrial life. A republican victory a re
publican house of representatives means that
during the cloning half ot Mr. Cleveland's
administration tlio ensinles of the protective
system will be unable to tucces fuly ] waua
further warfare upon tlie prosperity of the
country , On which side will you vote lor
more war or l s war !
If It be true that a revival of business and
general prosperity are to follow the patiaga
of tli new law , an la claimed by our
political adversaries , and which wo hope may
be fully realized , then wby should they
Interfere with tbe lad protpect by still
further channel In tariff schedules or re
newed agitation of tbe subject ?
After most bitterly deoouaclQB She bill
they have Jusl paused democratic leaders ami
press console themselves by declaring thai
the- now ls.w , ntln all. ls better than the
act of 1800. Hotter for whom ? Pclter for
what ? Where ha-i It given hope. ? Whos
factories will It set to work ? It has Im
proved no American Interests whatever , un
less It bo the Sugar and Whisky trusts It
will not start n single now factory M. home.
It will not light n solitary new lire nt home.
It will not Increase the demand for labor ttl
home. AVIiatevcr hope U brings Is to the
alien nnd the stranger Whatever Industry
It quickens la beyond I ha Sean : It la not lo
cated benrMli our Hag and yields it no sup
port. Hotter than the law ot 1890 , a law
iii-der the operation of which every man In
this country was employctl al good wagss.
every factory was running nt Us full CRp clly
and the consumer was securing the neces
sities of life cheaper than ho had ove"r re
ceived them boforo. Does any thoughtful
man believe that the law of 1891 will over
restore those happy conditions hero In the
United StntcsT How many Industries In the
Unltwl States nre paying the WBROS paid In
1S92T Toll me. workliiKmen ot Ohio , how
many of you are Idle now who had re
munerative employment in 1832. and how
many of you fortunate enough lo hive
employment now have escaped a reduction
of your wages } And what are your pros
pects for the future If you continue lo votn
the democratic ticket and sustain the tariff
policy of the parly now In power ? These
nre all practical questions which every work-
InKimin can best answ r for himself.
UISCtSSHU THE MONETARY QUESTION.
Passing lo the subject of the currency , Gov
ernor .McKinley said : "Tho democratic party
has been In conirol of every branch of the
( To crnmciil since the 1th of March. 1S93.
Its legislative branch has bum In session
more than twelve months , yet It has glvoti
til no silver legislation whatever , except to
strike donn the Sherman law nt Its special i
sr.islon called for lh.it purpose and In re
sponse to the urgent recommendation ot a
democratic president Having disposed ol
tlio 'republican makeshift , ' as tlioy denominated -
nominated the Sherman law , they were going
lo give silver an honorable place In the coin
age of the country. Nothing has been heard
of this since. Nothing will bo heard of It
In the present congress. Nothing can com3
of H so long as Mr. Cleveland Is president
of the United Stales , for It Is wall under
stood that he will veto any free coinage bill.
Yet tlio Ohio democratic convention wont
Ihrough the Idle ceremony ot declaring for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at A
ratio of 1C to t ( not. however , without
serious opposition from 359 delegates ) , know
ing tlml it meant nothing nnd could mean
nothing and Hint It binds nobody at all , not
even the delegates present.
"Senator Ilrlce , al the head of the Ohio
lemocracy , himself In attendance upon the
; onventlon , made swift lo denounce the plinlc
n the platform after he had crossed tha
Ohio line , and openly announces that he li
not bound by It unless ho can be permitted
io con&lruc It as ho pleases. It Is men
liretense. It Is an attempt to raise a false
Isiue It la another effort at deception.
The era when democratic promises avail ha
EOII ? by. The period of tliclr fulfillment is
it hand. The democratic congress can no
lotmer offer the excuse that the republican
iarty stands In the way. Nothing can stand
In the ay of the democratic party executing
Ihe will of that party. Hut free and un
limited coinage of sllvir la not the crystal-
izcd will ot the democratic party , and It
will not be. The party that has struck
silver down and Riven It the severest blow
It ovrr had cannot bo relied upon to give that
metal honorable treatment. "

ALBANY. N. Y. , Sept. 27. , The leading
question here today , of course. Is. "Will
David B. Hill run for governor ? " A declolvo
statement was expected from him last night.
but his few remarks to the crowd that ser
enaded him did not settle the pn.lnt , N'f
one is sure from what he said whether In-
will accept or decline the nomination that , ,
was thrust upon htm at the last minute.
There is also a great deal of doubt as to
the course thai will be taken by Justice Gay-
nor , the nominee 'for ittdgo f the court of
appeals. It Is not thought he' ' tt-lll innke his
final decision until ho knows what Hill will
do , It Is doubte < \ If Congressman Lockwood
will obey the wishes of the convention. In
case cither of the nominees decline to run
another convention will not be necessity.
Senator Murphy's resolution that thn state
committee have power to fill any vacancies
on the ticket covers this point.
