HANCOCK ON TIE TARIFF.

\ Letter for the {" Business T'erilists - to
Read.
General Hancock has writtcna letter to
Ex-Governor Randolph, of New Jersey, in
regard to the interview published in the
Paterson Guardian:
GOVERNORS ISLAND, n. Y, October 12,
1SSO.-Jy Dear Goycrnor:: l have re-
ccivcd your favor of the 18th inst. In
my letter of acceptance l expressed my
full sympathy with our American in
dustrics. | thought l spoke plainly
enough to satisfy our Jersey friends re-
gar(lins my tariff views. lam too sound
an American to advocate any departure
from the general features of Il policy
that has been largely instrumental in
building up our industries and keep
ing Americans from the competition
Of the under-paid labor of Europe. If
We intend to remain honest and pay
the public debt, as good people of all par
ties do, and if We mean to administer the
function Of the government, then VIC must
raise revenue i'll some way or other. With
4 reunited and harmonious country We
shall certainly in time pay off the public
debt, but the necessity Of raising money
for the administration of the government
will continue rs long as human nature
lasts. All parties agree that the
best way for us to raise revenue is
largely by the tariff. SO far as we
are concerned, therefore, all talk
about free trade" is folly. But the
tariff question will probably be treated
with justice to all our interests and people
by some such bill rs Eaton's. l believe
that commission Of intelligent experts,
representing both the government and the
American industries, will suggest the tariff
measures that will relieve us OF any crudi-
ties and Inconsistencies existing in our
present laws and confirm to us the system
which will be iudicious, just, harmonious
and incidentally protective as well as stable
in its effect.
l am. very truly yours,
WINFIELD S. HANCOCK.
Hon. Thco. Randolph. Morristown,

VESSELS ABANDONED AT SEA.
The Story OF Two Recent Wrecks in the Gul
of Mexico.

The Story OF Two Recent Wrecks in the Gulf
OfMexicO.
The Havana steamship Saratoga, whicl,
arrived at New York yesterday, brought
among her passengers twenty-three ship
wrecked sailors-eleven Germans and
twelve Swedcs-of the barks Gumgner and
J. F. Maun, which were wrecked off Tonola
Mexico. September 10. Among them were
Capt. Williams, of the j. f. Maun. and First
Officer Lunde, of the Gungner. They were
taken in charge by the Swedish and Ger
nah consuls of that city. Second Officer
Thonnessen, who was found at No. 0 Car
Isle street. gave an, account of the
loss OF the Swedish bark. The Gungner
was owned in Posgrand, Norway. She
left that port in June. in ballast for Ton
ola, Mexico, where she was to take a cargo
of mahogany for Falmouth, England. She
arrived at Tonola Sept. 4. The harbor Of
that port does not admit vessels of 4 draft
greater than the tiat-bOttOmed lighters and
small craft used in the local trade, and the
Gungncr had her cargo Cf mahogany float
ed alongside about a mile outside the har-
Dor entrance. On Sept. 10 about onc-half
her load had been ON board, when q gale
sprang up. by nightGall the gale had
increased to the violence OF tor
nado, and it became necessary to give the
bark all her cable and let go both her an
chors. The cargo adrift alongside was
quickly beached, and it required the utmost
exertions Of the crew to prevent the bark
going ashore in the night. The next morn
ing the wind seemed to have increased in
force, and it was found that the bark was
dragging both her anchors and would be
stranded unless lightened. Captain Ell
tl.n fr 70, VNp 0V,d
this for Il time seemed to relieve the strain
gale had not abatcd, and the starbOard
cable parted. The bark Immediately
began to drag the remaining anchor, and
between four and six o'clock in the after
noon she struck on the beach. The sea,
which had been constantly breaking over
her. threatened at this time to wash all the
hands from tho deck and rigging. The
surf was running very high, and rendered
it almost certain death for any of them to
reach the shore in the night. For nearly
twelve hours the crew clung to the rig
ging.
In the night the German bark J. F.
Maun, which at the beginning of the gale
lay a short distance from the Gunger, also
parted her cables, and was at daylight seen
by the crew of the Gungcr further on
shore, broadside to the sea, which was
beating over her and was driving her upon
the beach. BY 10 n. III. the wind :bated,
though the surf was still heavy, and an at
tempt was made to reach the shore. This
was accomplished with considerable diff
Guilty and. danger, although, no members
of either crew were lost. The Maun kept
working ashore until she lay half out of
the water and was badly broken in the

INDIANA,

A Leader Who Never Retreats-An Army
Which Never Surrenders.
The Democratic executive committee
of Indiana have issued the following ad-
dress
To the Democratic and Independent Voters
Of Indiana
The result of tho election last Tuesday
is deep disappointment to us all. The
extent Of the success which the Republi-
can party has achieved in this state is as
much a surprise to the Republicans as it is
to the Democrats, and proves that the ma
jority of the Republican party were as ig-
nOrant Of the means which their corrupt
leaders We're employing as We were.
The temporary loss of our state is
a calamity that time will enable
us to retrieve, but tho injury which
our free institutions will sustain, re-
sulting from tho frauds and corruption
practiced by the Republican leaders to Sc
cure their triumph, is incalculable. The
causes which enabled the Republican
party to succeed in the election are now
plain-the partial success Of their scheme
to Africanize our state for political pur-
poses, the corrupt use of money for the
purpose of obtaining votes, the impOrta-
tion and use Of repeaters, protected by
deputy marshals, and the aid derived by
them from the use Of the federal ma
chinery OF elections under the pretence Of
supervising the election of members Of
Congress-. In the presidential election We
will not have to encounter these forces to
the same extent as in our state elections.
The corruption fund will have to be di-
vided among many states their repeaters
will be at home, and those of them who
were discharged from arrest of deputy
marshals on straw bail will not be likely
to make their appearance in our state soon
again. We shall have no federal marshals
Or federal machinery to contend against.
We are thoroughly united in our cOun-
sells. Whatever our adversaries may say
to the contrary is untrue. We therefore
call upon you not to relax any Of your ef-
forts. Put new life and energy into your
county and township organizations, and
take all measures in your power to bring
out your full strength to the polls. The
same vote polled by us in October, if
polled in November, will secure to us tho
state. The average majority against US
at the late election will not exceed 900,
and may fall below that figure. This ma
jority can, and in our opinion will, be
overcome in the presidential election. A
change of three votes in each precinct will
accomplish it. Remember, you have q
leader in this contest who never sounds q
retreat, and he commands an army that
never surrenders.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Passed Through.

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock a
party of distinguished Republican poll
ticians, recently on duty in Indiana, passed
through this city on their way to New
York. Among them were John G. New,
chairman of the Indiana state committee ;
S. w. Dorsey, of Arkansas ;
Chauncey l. Filley, Of Missouri, and Geo.
G. Gorham. In response to calls upon
them by a number of local politicians,
they stepped upon the platform of the car,
while the train was in the depot and made
brief speeches, rejoicing in the prospects
of solid North against the solid South.
Cameron was called for but did not respond.
A party of about 200 Republican repeat
ers passed through this morning, some Of
whom allege that they had voted as often
rs 90 times in Indiana and Ohio. There
was one carload of negro repeaters from
Philadelphia aud Delaware.

THE NEXT CONGRESS-.
A DeMOcrOtic View of the Outlook for Pal
Control.

A De,nocrOtic View of the Outlook for Ia, ty
Control
A Washington special dispatch to the
Sun says: "The Republicans at congress
sional headquarters arc SO elatcd by their
recent successes that they arc claiming
both houses of Congress. The Senate,
they say, will be a tic, but practically Re-
publican through Arthur's casting vote.
In order to accomplish this, however, they
must, in addition to carrying the country,
defeat both Randolph in New Jersey,
Eaton in Connecticut, and Wallace in
Pennsylvania, which they have not yet
done. They do not take into account
either the probable election of Fair in
Nevada, which will give the Senate to
the Democrats by one majority if all
their claims should he admitted. A liberal
estimate of their chances in the House fails
also to carry out their claims in respect to
that branch of Congress. They have now
1872 members, and need fifteen more to
make a majority. They estimate for this
gain as follows One from Oregon, six
from Ohio and two from Indiana. They
claim also two from Iowa, the two Green
back districts, Weaver's ard Gillette's.
These they will probably have. In addi-
ton, they expect one from Tennessee,
Taylors, and two from Virginia, and they
hope for one from Florida and one from
Pennsylvania, Wright's, and one from
Wisconsin, Deuster's. They are sure of
none of these, however. Taylor has the
same problem that he had four years ago,
when he had 700 majority, and Congress
man Atkins writes here that not only will
Taylor be reelected, but that HouE, the
present Republican member, will prob
ably be defeated. Acklen. Senator-elect
Gibson says, will not succeed by his bolt
in comprising the election ola Republican.
A liberal estimate gives them only gain
of ten, which will leave them five short of
majority. On the other hand they will
probably lose the Detroit and Saginaw
[Newbury's and Harris's) districts, in
Michigan Whites and Fishers in Penn
sylvanis, and Einstein's and Bailey's, in
Now York, total of eight. leaving them
a net gain Of two. This is lower than the
estimate made by the Democratic CON-
mittee.

Seven Persons Killed.,

A terrible explosion occurred last even
ing at the Garden City distillery compa-
ny's works, corner of Clybourn avenue
and Morgan street, Chicago, killing seven
persons and severely injurins four others.
The experiment was being tried of a new
steaming process. The corn was put whole
and steamed. Then strong pres
sure of steam was applied to force
it through pipes into a mash tub.
The pipe became choked up, stopping the
passage Of the swollen corn and instantly
increased the pressure in the kettle. A
terrific explosion followed, blowing the
roof of the building clear off and killing
outright or burying beneath the fallen

Jesse Nyo Committed for Drunken and ID


Jesse Nye Committed for Drunken and Dis
orderly Conduct.
Last evening Jesse Nye had hearing
before Alderman Barr to answer a com
plant Of assault and battery preferred BY
Frank Doman, and Of drunken and disor-
derly conduct preferred by George +. Mil
ler. The complaint Of assault was dis
missed, there being no evidence to sustain
it. In support Of the charge Of drunken
and disorderly conduct q great number Of
witnesses were examined and there was
. good deal Of conflicting testimony. On
the part Of the commonwealth David
Captain E. Mcclellan, w. s. Burns, John
Parker Shay, George F. Miller, Henry
Hardy, Peter Waiter, and Willis B. Musser,
swore that Nye was drunk and disortlcrly
that he interferred with the Republican
procession, ON Friday night, the Sth inst.
ut different points along the line first Mt
South Queen and Vine streets, and again in
the neighborhOod Of West King and Manor;
that he waved q flag and hurrahed for
Hancock; that he ran into the line of parade
and jostled the men, applying to them the
most offensive epithets; that he evidently
wanted to raise disturbance. Capt. Nc
Mcllen testified that some ono caught his
horse by the head and tried to stop the
parade, and David Evans testified that
the man who did SO was Nye.
For the defense, Jesse Nye was called
and swore that he committed none Of the
offenses charged against him, except that
he waved his flag and hurrahcd for Han
cock he denied that he was drunk, but
admitted that he had been drinking. G.
A. Offender, John HerzOg, John Kurtz,
Mrs. Ann Nj. She'd, Mrs. II. Swenk,
Samuel Musselman, John Frick, Harry
Shantz, all testified to Nye's good charac-
ter, and that they saw him hnrrahing for
Hancock, but did not see him in any way
interfere with the line of parade, and from
their positions they thought they would
have seen him had he done so he was
noisy, but from his action and appearance
they would not be willing to swear that no
was drunk. There was much hurrahing
and bad language used both by men on the
sidewalk and men in line.
j. l.. Stcinmetz, ESQ.,, represented MIR.
Nyc and Ed. X. Martin, esq.,, the prOsecu
tiOn, both of whom made able speeches.
Alderman Barr said the case of drunken
and disorderly conduct had been made out.
Nye's conduct was such rs might have led
to disastrous fight, and rs deserved pun
ishment and warning to others he would
punish him to the full extent Of the law
30 days confinement ut hard labor in the
Lancaster county prison.
The cases of several others accused Of in
terfering with the Republican procession
will he heard on Monday evening.

THE Republicans claim OF the control
of the next House is very untimely. They
have not gained enough yet to give them
this control by any means, while there are
quite 2 number of districts in states yet to
vote in which they may lose part if not
all of their gains. In the state of PENN
sylvania Speer is likely to beat Fisher,
Mossrove will defeat Harry White and
Curtin is sure to be elected. These three
will be gains, while in the Erie, the Mer-
Ger and the Lycoming districts arc wag-
ing hopeful Democratic contests. In
New York there are very certain to be
Democratic gains, and in other states
the party is in admirable condition to
gain members without incurring losses.

THE deliverance of the Democratic
leaders in Indiana has the ring of the
true metal about it, and will send the
warm blood of courage coursing through
the veins of loyal Democrats all over the
country. Temporarily repulsed, they
are by no means cast down, knowing
full well as they do the causes that
have effected this unlooked-for reverse.
which cannot be brought to bear in the
contest next month. Indiana will he re-
deemed by the vigorous fight that will

the Democracy of the country, too, have
already got their second breath and the

EVENING. OCT. 10, 1890.
The District AttOrneyshiu.

In their rejoicings over the Indiana
election, and their preparations for big
county meeting, are the Republicans of
Lancaster county willing 10 60 before the
people of the country with the response
bility of electing to the Office Of district
attorney their present alleged candidate
for that important Office? Guilty of the
worst possible breaches of his profession
al fidelity, false alike to client and court,
the public would have no safety in his
prosecution of the commonwealth S
causes, and the bench could have no con-
fidence in his representations to it of the
condition Of cases under his control.
His record and character bespeak for an
administration by him nothing but a
prostitution of justice whenever his self
interest would dictate it and his safety
would permit. Upon the truthfulness
and integrity of the district attorney
must the public depend almost entirely
for the punishment of guilty offenders
and the protection of the innocent, and
the highest standard of professional up
riglltness should be the measure of dis.
trict attorneys qualifications. These
Thomas J. Davis does not possess. He
has not had them. If he had he has lost
them and having lost them he has
never made respectable effort to regain
them.
It's a fearful responsibility the Repub.
licans of Lancaster county take upon
themselves in proposing his election
They have declined to withdraw him OF
depose him, and for his candidacy the
party is fully responsible and to it is fully
committed. But the thousands of voters
i'm it who have some sense of decen.
cy left, some regard for public interests
some feeling of shame for the degrade.
tion of our local administration of jus
tice, must lie unwilling to lend them
selves to the cOnsummatiOn of this out
rage.

returns. It is beautiful picture by a
