Another point which Mr.. Young candidiy

harmed by the unfriendly treatment Of North

ton felt that the two words ''carpet-bagger'
and "Ku -Klux" have cost the Houth millions Of
dollars. We have no doubt that great many
adventurers went to tho South like the "bum-
mers" which used to swarm after the armies.
But 1t Ia safe to say that nine out Of ten Of the
men who would have gone South after the war,
and who would go now il they were not deferred
by the chaotic condition Of affairs, care nothing
about politics. Well, the answer is made that If
the Northern men will only go South and keep

should any citizen keep out Of politics9 South

srikes-l,em and for worl..


NEW YORK, July 31.-A number of long
shoremen on both East and North rivers went
on strike to-day, they demanding 40 cents
per hour for day work and 80 cents at night.
They marched around the piers ends this
morning to persuade those working to leave
off, and when this was refused, used threats
promising to come in the afternoon with a
large force AMI use violence if necessary.
A mass meeting of unemployed workingmen
Was held this morning in TompkiHs Square to
take measures for procuring work. About 1000
were present. Addresses were made counsel
ling peaceful measures as tending to show the
good sense of the workingmen and urging that
the Mayor and the heads of the city depart
ments should aid the men by giving them
work.
Resolutions to the same effect were adopted,
calling for legislation in regard to the matter.
The meeting then formed in procession, and
headed by police detachment marched to the
Mayors Office in City 81 all to make peaceful
demand for employment.
When the crowd reached City Hall the COM
mittee had an interview with Acting Mayor
Lewis to whom they related their grievances,
and he said he would lay the whole matter be-
fore Mayor Wyckam on his return. The body
then waited on Commissioner of Public Works
Campbell, but he said he had given out large
contracts and he feared that the appropriations
would be exhausted before the end of the year.
They then visited the Office of Comptroller
Green, but he stated that the appropriations in
the banks were for purchasing land. He had
nothing to do with improvements and sympa-
thzed with the men in their distress. The as
semblage then dispersed.
Later about the Strike.
Nearly 1000 'longshoremen are now on a
strike. The men employed on the National,
Anchor, General TRANSATLANTIC, Williams &
Guion, Pacific Mail, Red Star, and the Garrison
& Allen steamship lines have quit work. No
trouble has ensued and the men lounge along
the streets and in the neighborng liquor stores
discussing the situation. The stevedores say
they can procure all the men they want at low
er wages and will not accede to the demaud OF
the strikers.

Seeing these men again at the head of the par

enough. Among the last Democratic officers of

Hendricks to Yield 10 Tilden.
from Snecial TO the TraveIler.1

NEW York, July 31-Murat Halstead said
yesterday that Hendricks had yielded to Til
den's wishes in the Interpretation of the finan-
cial plank of tie platform. He thought Til
denis original plan was to make the fight in
the hard money states, dsregarding the clamor
of the Western soft-money delegates, and rely
ing on the blind adherance Of the South and
the Derringer element in old politics to secure
every state below Mason & Dixon's line. He
thought Hendricks had objected to this plan in
his belief that the October states decided the
presidential contest, and that he ought to be
allowed to carry Indiana. This probably was a
prominent point of difference between Tilden
and Hendricks.
Mr.. Halstead believes that the Democrats
have lost their hold on Indiana, that conces-
sion on Tilden's part to give it to Gov. Hen
bricks would not have saved the state, and that
the latter's profession of hard-money doctrines
will make matters worse. Hendricks has al
ways been extremely careful about his utter
ances on finance, and it might be difficult to
find anything in his public speeches which
proved him an advocate of soft money; still, no
later than last fall, Hendricks had worked for
the election of Allen in Ohio. He was too
deeply involved in the soft-money record of
Ohio and Indiana to play the hard money re-
former at home. The character Of the man
and the construction he placed on the resolu-
tions of the nominating convention were the
true platform.

butcher knife near him indicated an attempt at
