to King williams land. The story refers
more particularly to the incidents OF the
great sledge journey. 1t is supplemented,
however, by the discovery Of relics, and
an examination of the native witnesses,
which lead to the sad conclusion that the
fate Of the officers and crew of the Erebus
and Terror was terrible, even to the ut
most limit Of the imagination, and that
the records Of the Franklin expedition are
lost beyond recovery. Old men and women
Of the Esquimaux tell the story of those
who were doubtless the last survivors Of
the unfortunate vessels, with minuteness
Of detail and evident truthfulneas, which
place their fate beyond doubt. What be-
came Of their great leader, and Of the large
number Of men who constituted the crews,
nothing could be discovered. Only a
small party Of officers, black about the
mouth, with no flesh on their bones, were
seen dragging a boat across the ice, and
then they disappear, and nothing more is
seen of them until their skeletons are
found under their boat and in q tent, q
prey to wild beasts, and with dreadful evil
dences that they had been driven to feed
on the weaker OF their companions before
finally yielding to starvation and cold.
Such is the sad conclusion which the dis
c~overies of this expedition irresistably lead
to. What became Of the records Of the
Franklin expedition that were with this
party is also painfully evidents from the
testimony Of the natives, who naturally
considered them of no importance, and by
whom they were allowed to lie around as
playthings for the children, and were
eventually destroyed.
The lGreat Democratic DemOnstra-
ton.
NEW YORK, September 24.-The great
Democratic union mass meeting last night,
was perhaps the most imposing political
demonstration that has ever taken place in
New York City. Union Square and the
adjoining streets and avenues were literally
jammed with people, and all about was
brilliantly illuminated. The principal
meeting was in Tammany Hall, which was
packed with q most enthusiastic audience.
John Kelly called this meeting to order,
and was greeted with uproarious applause.
He introduced Daniel Daugherty, Of Phil

was just as wild as at the Tammany Hall
meeting. August Belmont was chosen
chairman. His speech was devoted in the
main to the consideration Of the claim that
the present prosperity of the nation is due
to Republican legislation, and cited as sig
nificant the fact that only in 1879, with the
House and Senate both Democratic, were
