A Business Mans Speech.

The New York Commercial says: MIR. L.
NJ Bates, of the well known house of Bates,
Reed & Cooley, made telling speech, the
other night, on the occasion of being called
to preside at the meeting of the Business
Mems Association at Science Hall Below
will be found some of the ideas put forward
by Mr. Bates He said:
Gentlemen-I wish briefly to relate to you
some of the substantial benefits received by
the American people from the hands of the
Republican party during the last twenty
years. The Republican party has had pos.
session of this Government for twenty years.
1t has conducted the country safely through
gigantic civil war. 1t has freed 1000, OOC
of slaves and invested them with citizenship.
1t has reconstructed shattered and disloya
States and restored them to the old time
honored Union of harmonious States. Ii has
forgiven its enemies in war, and made them
citizens in peace Not a rebel officer OF any
grade has been executed The Republican
party has restored our immense and inflated
currency TO a gold and silver basis. 1t has
paid of thousand millions OF our National
debt 1t has SO elevated the credit OF the
Government that it has been able TO fund
hundreds of millions of our public debt at
and 1 ] per cent. the lowest rate OF interest
paid since the foundation of the Govern.
ment 1t has fostered public internal I'M
provemcnls in the jet,ies Of the Mississippi,
in harbor, lake and river improvements, and
in the great bel: of railroads that reach the
Pacific, opening the trade of China 10 oul
shores. 1t has settled the claims against
Great Britain growing out of the Alabama
piracies by the peaceful methods of arbitra.
ton. Its wise and timely protection OF
American industry has helped in large de-
gree to restore the country TO an era of I'M
paralleled prosperity. These are among the
obvious and most prominent claims OF the
Republican party for new lease of power.
There is no argument for change of parties
but great peril.

RAILROADS BLOCKADED WITH SNOW FREIGHT
AND PASSENGER TRAINS sTALLED-sTooK
IN CARS PEHIsIIING- STEAMER MISSING.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 16.-The wind storm
here yesterday and last night was the
severest ever known in this section. The
barometer was never known so low, the
wind from the south blowing between 60aud
20 miles an hour A large fleet of vessels
sought this harbor for safety and rode out
the gale in the bay. The storm all along the
Southern Minnesota railroad was the severest
known in years. Passenger and freight
trains along the line were blockadcd in snow
| drifts ten to twelve feet deep, and teams
and provisions have been despatched to their
relief from several points. The train which
left Lacrosse Friday has not been heard from
since leaving Fulda that night. All the cuts
west of Paramount are filled with snow pack
ed hard. Reports that cattle, horses, etc,
have persisted are constantly received, but
no loss TO human life is yet reported. 1t is
the worst storm ever known in southern
Minnesota and eastern Dakota, and is
still raging. Nothing has been heard from
the steamer Depria, which left Grand
Haven Friday night for this port, AMI all
sorts of opinions are eXpr,ssei conc 1Tnlng
her safety Many vessels caught out side
were damaged in canvass and rigglngs and
lost deck loads. Six men and Seaman Mel
son Henduckson of this city were lost from
the steamer Willard at Manitowoc and
another seaman, name unknown, from one
of the ting barges was lost in the same vicin-
ity. A long list of disasters Is expected
with the reports from east shore ports.
CHICAGO, Oct 17-The damage by yes
terdays and last nights storm will, in the
aggregate, be very heavy in this vicinity.
The force of the wind seems to have been
most marked in about i space included
within a radius of 100 miles from Chicago.
kilograms received say it extended much
farther, Omaha being about the western
limit, Michigan tile eastern, Central Illinois
the southern and Wisconsin the northern.

condition and many are entirely useless at

Sugar and Coffee trade in New York, includ-
ing such heavy firms as A. A. Low X
Brothers b. G. Arnold & Co., and L. ID.

favo of Garfield and Arthur and a free vote
and honest count.
The business men of Troy arc also taking
a hand in the canvass and have issued an ap-
peal, in which they say:
Our business men should direct their
Jealous efforts to the support of the Repub-
lican candidates They should see to it that
their proper influence is steadily dl-
rected to induce all with whom they come
in contact to act and vote with them for
the continued prosperity the country is now
enjoying, and against a change that must at
best prove detrimental to our common
interests. In self-defence and to avert the
threatened disaster, we should make this the

HIS REMARKS To a REPUBLICAN, CLUE.
MENTOR, oct. 19.-About 400 members of
the Lincoln club OF Indianapolis came to Men
tor this morning by special train to pay their
respects to Gen. Garfield They all wore
linen busters and threc-cornercd straw hats,
as burlesIue on the rich costumes of the
Jefferson Club of their city. Gen. Garfield
responded 10 the spokesman's address as fol
lows
Gentlemen. am glad to hear the news You
bring and exceedingly glad 10 see the
bringers of the news. Your uniform, the
name of Your club, the place from which
YOU come, are all full of suggestions. You
recollect the verses often quoted about the old
continental soldiers, The old three cOrnered
hat, and breeches, and all that, were 50
queer" Your costume recalls the days of
the coutnentals of 1910. whose principles
hope you represent. You are called the
Lincoln club and Lincoln was himself
the revival AMI restoration Of the days of 10
and their doctrines. The great proclamation
of emancipation which he penncd was a sec
ond declaration of independence Il broader
and fuller new testament of human liberty
And then you come from Indiana. supposed

tons older than Ohio. More than hun

up into your wilderness, captured two or
three forts. took down the British flag and
reared the stars and stripes Your native
state was one of the first fruits of that
splendid fighting power which gave the
whole West to the United States, and now
these representatives of Indiana are repre-
senting the revolution in your hats. repre-
senting Abraham Lincoln in your badges, and
reresenting the victory both of the revolution
and of Lincoln in the news you bring. ] could

your costumes, your badges, your news and
yourselves. Many Indiana men were my
comrades in the days OF the war. remember
a regiment of them under my command,
near Corinth. When it seemed necessary to

five acres, unboxedwe from my brigade about
1000 axes and the nifty first regiment of

men, for the compliment of YOUR visit aud
for the good news You bring. 10 not prize
that news half So much Tor its
personal relations to You and to

Wade Hampton ard John Sherman.

The New York World has had very little
fault to find with the klu-Kluy operations
in South Carolina and other Southern States.
1t has no fault To find with Wade Hampton
tor giving Secretary Sherman the lie and in
wiling him to CHALLENGE him TO fight Il duel
But it is Mortified HAT Secretary Sherman
should have had The tcmerity to mention II
South Carolina Senator and the ku-klux
in the same sentence, and that he
should have ycnlured to tell the arrogant
South Carolianian that he and his Southern
associates hold their positions and power by
crimes of every ataie, from murder TO the
meau,sl form of ballot box stulling.
We think that SIr sherman has quite the
advauiagc OF G,'n. lIimptonin the corrcspon-
dence which has pas 3ra between them. There
is but oar ih;ns 0" Mr. liainpton's credit
that is thai IL. i, sensitive about being classcd
with the ku-hluX KAN Many Of the other
rebel brigadiers IA Congress probably would
be proud ii such an asspciaiion, though they
might noi lhnk il I5u I,nt to avow it. Mr.
Sherman shows iLa "a does not scare very
easily, and that hr is had subject for bull
doing lIayin, uttered pertinent truth, he
stands squuTrly Ia his words and does not
propose 10 be- brow beaten out Of his position.
Senator Wade Hampton, on the other hand,
has lowered himself notch lower than be
tore. in the estimation Of all loyal and law
iovifig citizens. Within "A few month. mast
