JOHN KELLY SPEAKS.
Attempting to Show that the Chief Dem

Attempting to Show that the Chief Dem
ocratic Losses Occurred in Tildens
Counties.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-JohL Kelly sends the
following telegram to the Cincinnati Enquirer
as an answer to articles ia that paper attribute
ing to him the Democratic defeat:
l send you by telegraph the vote in counties
friends control the organization. The publca-
ton of these figures will enlghten your read
ers on some matters which they appear to be
ignorant of.
Take Mr.. Tilden's home, Yonkers, and
Westchester county, where he lives, and it
gave Tiden in 1876 for President majority OF
2476; Hancocks maj rity in 1880 is 45l, fall
ing off of Hancock's majority in Tilden's
county of 2025.
Next take Ulster county, the residence and
home of Hon. Mr.. Shoemaker, Tilden's late
attorney general and his member Oh the Dem
ocratic national committee, and the result is
startling. Tilden's mai rity in 1876 was 1922;
Garfeld's majority in 1880 is 3d. Hancock's
falling off in this county is 1772. Is John
Kelly responsible for this?
Next Rensselaer, county, the residence and
home of Mayor Murphy, a Catholic, the friend
OF Cows Robinaon and Tilden, elected mayor
of Troy again by about 1000 majority In this
county in 1876 Tilden, for President, had ma
jority of 672; Garfield in 1880 has 642-a fall
ing off in Democratic votes of 1914.
NcAt tdh0 OF. lldWTtuCo COuUty, Tue T6Sl
depce and home of Dan McGone, the legal
adviser and immediate friend of Tilden Gar
fields majority is 1900; Hayes majority was
1850; Republican increase 219 Who is respon-
sible for st. Lawrence county, John Kelly or
Dan McGone?
Next, Cbemung county, the home of ex
Gov. Lucius Robinson. Tilden's majority in
1866. 1876; Hancock's majority in 1880, ISL;
Hancock's falling off, 1856. Who is RESPONSE
for this, Kelly or Robinson?
Next, Monroe county, the home of Senator
Raines and great many of Tilden's interested
friends. Garteld's majority, 1864; Hayes
majority, 1911; Republican increase this year,
2052. Who is responsible for this, Kelly or
Raines?
Next take Erie county, the home of great
many of the political confreres of Samuel j.
Tilden. Examine carefully the result. In
1880 Garfeld's majority is 3341 in 1876 Hayes
majority was 1861 increased Republican Gar
field vote, 2576, from the friends of Tilden.
Next take Clinton county, the residence of
the pure and immaculate statesman Smith
NJ Weed, the Fidus debates of Samuel j. Til
den of Cipher alley, and what is the result.
Garfed's majority in 1880 is 1850; Hayes
majority in 1876 was 706; increase of Repubi-
can majority, liza.
Next take Saratoga, always a Tilden strong
hold, Garteld's majority, 2300; Hayes major
ity, 1872; increase of Garfield over Hayes, 1908.
The purgative waters of Saratoga and John
Morrissey's gambling house must be RESPONSE
BILE for this increase.

VENTING HIS SPITE.
Extraordinary Language Attributed to
Mr.. Seward Regarding the Chinese
OueStjon

Mr.. Seward Regarding the Chinese
Question.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9-The Bulletin this
evening publishes letter from trustworthy
correspondent at Tienisin, China, in which is
given the substance of an interview between
The Chinese Grand Secretary of State, LII
Hung Chang, and Mr.. Seward, late Minister
of the United States TO China. The interview
took place during parting call by Mr.. Sew
ard, Oh being removed from his post He in
formed the Secretary that a commission was on
the way to Pekn, seeking to modify the Burl
ingame treaty; that il was appointed by the
administration at the instigation of an Irish
mob: that the treaty could not be made any
better, and to change it as proposed would be
great injustice as well as a gross insult to
China, and unconstitutional withal that if
the Grand Secretary would stand firm, and so
counsel his government, no change need be or
should be made, that the Chinese had been
shamefully maltreated in California, stoned,
robbed and murdered; that the murders could
be counted by thousands, and the robberies by
millions; that in California alone this robbery
amounted to $13 100000; that while no notice
was taken of these by our government and no
justice given the Chinese in our courts, let
citizen of the United States or any foreigner
be stoned, robbed or maltreated in China and
great cutlery is made anu large money compen-
sation demanded; that had he acceded to the
demands OF his government, and thereby stul-
titled himself by asking concession SO out
rageously unjust and insulting to the Chinese
as the proposed modification Of the treaty, he
would now be minister and president of this
commission, but this he scorned to do and
hence his resignation. Mr.. Seward also en-
deavored to prejudice the Secretary against
the personnel OF the CT mmission. He said the
new minis Ter knew nothing of politics or di-
plomacy, and was entirely ignorant of the
question he had been sent to settle. He
might know little of International law as
taught to school boys, but that would be of
little use to him here. He said further that
the gentleman from South Carolina was doc
trinaire, and the member from California
man of mediocre ability only, but thoroughly
imbued with the California idea that the Chi
nese must go: that he had intrigued and wire
pulled for more than two years for ex-minis-
ter's places; that the principal ingredients in
his nature were seltishness and egotism. In
addition to this, Mr.. Seward has, since his re-
moval, at Picking, here, in Tientsin, at Shan
ghai and on board the steamer when travelling
between here and Shanghai, spoke in the most
dsrespectful terms of the President and of the
hone rable Secretary of State, speaking of the
latter as that man Evarts,' who had sup
pressed his treaty and dispatches, and had
been the principal cause of his political down
fall by allowing his removal.

Charles James Fox's Oratory.
Early Life of Charles James Fox.l

lEarly Life of Charles James Fox.
1t was no slight advantage to great extern
pore speaker to have at hand an extensive and
d v rsifed stock of quotations from that branch
o literature which is nearest akin to oratory
and for such a speaker it is essential that the
voice, no less than the memory and the reason.
ing faculty, should be under absolute control
That laborious discipline in the theory and
practice of elocution through which Fox was
carried by his disinterested passion for the
drama. but which no one who ever lived was
less likely to have deliberately undertaken
with an eye to parliamentary advancement,
had gained him command of accent and GEES
ture which, as is always the case with the
highest art, gave his marvellous rhetoric the
strength and the simplicity of nature. The
pains which he had bestowed upon learning to
speak the words of others enabled him to con-
centrate his undivided attention upon the ar.
duous task of improvising his own. If only he
could find the thing which required to be said,
he was sure to say it in the way that would pro-
duce the greatest possible effect. His variety
of manner, We are told, was quite as remar :
able as the richness of his matter. The modu-
lations of his voice responded exactly to the
nature of his subject and the emotions of his
mind. When he was piling up his arguments
SO correct in their sequence, and, as we read
them now With cool and impartial judgments
for the most part so irresistible in their weight
every one of his massive sentences "came roll
ing like a wave of the Atlantic, 30C0 miles
long" If his cadences at times waxed shrill
and even inbarmonious, and his enunciation
became almost preternaturally rapid, it was
only when his hearers were so fascinated by
his burning logic, and so entranced by the
contagion of his vehemence. that he could
hardly speak fast enough or loud enough to
satisfy them. His deep tones, which occurred
rarely, and then but for moment, were re-
served for occasions that necesstated solemn
appeal to the compassion or the justice of the
assembly which he was addressing and never
failed to go straight TO the heart of every one
present. Feeling profoundly, thinking accu-
rately and strongly trained thoroughly in all
the external graces of oratory, Fox during the
American war, Fox in his best days." was
declared by Grattan to have been the best
speaker that he ever heard, and Grattan. over
and above his experiences in the Irish Parlia-
ment, had formed his taste on Chatham, and
had lived through the great DAYS of Burke,
Pitt and Sheridan, to hear Brougham on the
g. riders in Council" and Canning on the
Emancipation of the Catholics"

HANCOCK SAID TO CONDEMN THE
WHOLE BUSINESS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-An Albany special
says it appears that the fraud strikers pin their
faith to what Horatio Seymour the State
engineer will do. He is the only Democratic
member of the State board of commissioners,
and they expect that on the declaration of
Tammany Hall that the Garfield electors
were fraudulently chosen, he will declare the
Democratic ticket legally elected. On this
the case will be taken to Congress-
The canvass of New York county was COM
menced to-day by the board of aldermen. A
protest was presented by Nicholas Mullen

The chairman of the Ulster county Demo
cratic committee has served a paper upon the
board OF canvassers of Ulster county, pro-
testing against the counting of the Republican
electoral ballots, claiming that Said ballots do
not conform to the requirements of the
statute in that they contain both caption and
endorsement and that the names of the can
didates are not printed in plain type with the
letters of uniform size.
The Irving Hall committee of five last
night received reports from the Assembly dis
tricts of alleged Republican intimidation,
bribery, colonization undue influence of
United States marshals and employers at the
election.
EDM1RA, Nov. 10 The Democrats of Che

HUDSON, N. Y, Nov. 1O.-The Democrats

cans and 10 Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-In letter from
Gen. Hancock received here to-day by an
arme off, Ger who was on his staff, Gen. Han
cock says emphatically that he has no lot or
part in the agitation in regard to throwing
out the vote of New York nor will he have
any. He is opposed to the agitation. He
says and believes Gen. Garfield was elected
and should be inaugurated without any fuss
Later-No clue has been attained after
diligent inquiry tonight to the indemnity of
the officer who received the letter from Gen.
Hancock referred to in the item previously
tolegraphed which was taken from the Even

Controller Knox's Forthcoming Report
Are the People Hoarding Money?
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-One of the interest
ing features of the forthcoming report of Con-
trolea Knox will be the tables, and the COM
ments upon them, showing the extent to
which the circulating medium of the country
has decreased within year. That it should
have decreased at all, Notwithstanding the
large influx of gold from abroad and the pro-
ducts of the mines in the West, is an int crest
ing and singular fact, winch has for some time
furnished subject for discussion in financial
circles
Hitherto the volume of currency has been
susceptible of measurement with considerable
accuracy, the most of it making its appearance
at the banks and money centres with some-
thing like perodicity, b 1t now it appears that
two or three hundred millions have my steri-
ousy gotten away from the financial calcula-
tors, somewhat to the annoyance of the New
York banks, which have been making excess
sve loans and which find the amount of
available currency inconveniently small. TT Q
disappearance is probably to be accounted for
by the fact that people generally, thanks to
the prosperity everywhere, have paid their
debts and are keeping much larger sums in
their pockets than they have ever before been
able 10 keep. Calculations of the amount
which has thus gone out of sight have been
made by several hnanciers, but by none having
the facilities for gathering trustwortl v infor-
nation at the command of the Controller of
the Currency.
