DAvIrT's RECEPTION.
Speaking to an Audience of 20, 600 People
i'm Union Square.

NEW YORK, July 5-The reception ten
dered to Michael Davitt by the labor organi-
cations of New York attracted fully 10000
people to Union Square tonight, despite
the inclement weather. The different bodies
were cheered by the crowd as they marched
up to the speakers stand, especial favor
being shown the freight handlers. On mo
ton Of Jeremiah Murphy, president of the
Freight Handlers Union, Robert Blissert
was made chairman of the meeting. He
introduced p. j. Mcclure, who read an
address of welcome from the Labor Union
to Mr.. Davitt.
Mr.. Davitt was enthusiastically received.
He asked Indulgence for weak voice, and
expressed regret for not being Informed ON
the labor question in America, that his COM
ments might be more valuable. He had
been much pleased by the remark of another
speaker tonight, that while Ireland and
Irishmen were fighting the cause of labor
and justice for Ireland, they were fighting
the cause of labor and humanity through
out the world. This land war in Ireland
can be justly called labor movement. 1t
is an uprising of laborers against a system
of monopoly that has confiscated the fruits
of labor viz, rent based upon labor. Mr.
Davitt added
To-day we are halfway on the road to
victory. There is to-day in Ireland dis
tinct labor movement besides the Land
League movements movement on behalf
of the artisans and laborers in the cities.
lCheers. AS lrishmen and as men who
help to build up the land they demand that
they shall share in the benefits that are to
| accrue from the abolition Of Irish landlord
ism. Now as laborer, the son of laborer,
| and the grandson of laborer, | am anxious
| that the 1aborers of Ireland should share in
| the spoils of Irish landlordism. Therefore
| have in recent utterances in England and
America declared my conviction that the only
just settlement of the Irish question, the only
| settlement that will leave the land with the
people, will be one that gives the agricul-
| tural laborer and the artisan in the city a
direct benefit from the soil Exception has
been taken to my scheme by thoughtful and
sincere men. Do not let it be supposed for
an instant that my friend, the chosen leader
| of the Irish people, Charles Stewart Parnell
| is in the least opposed to the labor move
ment. He has more than once declared that
| if full justice was not done the laborers he
would place himself at their head and see
that full justice was done them. am con.
| fldent that by and by he and every Other
Land Lacquer will be taking the same stand
that take now in behalf of the artisan class
| of Ireland"

WALES MODEL FORCE.

Some Facts About Its Appoint ment-The
Finger The Bird Men Had in the Political
Pie.
The downfall of the weak officer Pickel,
yesterday, was received by the Hasting wing
of the Republican party in Wilmington
with many expressions of satisfaction That
DIR. Wales had ignored them In his selection
of police force, aud only put on such un-
stable members of their faction as the Bird
faction might submit to, has been gall and
wormWood to the defeated side. They have
disliked it for this reason and on account
of the bad character of the force.
1t was stated that DIR. Wales would pub
lish the names of at least half hundred
leading Republicans who recommended
Pickel for the position. This would be true
to the threat he made to GAZETTE reporter
some time ago when he was troubled with
having ,bruisers and thieves coming to him
well recommended for appointment.
One man has now been appointed who
showed how notoriously bad he was within
a week after he 'stirst put that uniform ON. .
The man had the influence of prominent
people, and DIR. Wales shows no disposition
to publish the Names He prefers to bear
| the blame himself.
! 1t has been stated that the Mayor said that
'sthis time the people have appointed the
1 police force and he would make his appoint
ments afterward." By this 1t is to be in
ferred that the Mayor yielded against his
will to the pressure of "popular will, !" and
against his own Judgment, appointed men
whom he believed to be unfit for policemen.
\ A well-known Republican politician, who
opposed DIR. Wales nomination, but work
ed and spent his money, like the manly fel-
low he is, for his election, was asked about
this. at does not follow that, it was really
the people who appointed the force for Or.
| Wales, even If he does say SO" remarked
this gentleman. SIT is unfair to lei
that idea go forth The force was no. even
named by the party of which the Doctor Is
member, but by the faction which riomi,
mated him. | happen to know on the
admission of gentleman who knows wha'
he is talking about, and is in position tc
take part in the things going on, let alone
know them, that before DIR. Wales made W
his force he sent list to the Bird people ioI
amendment and Captain Gallagher, Mr.
Bird. Mr.. Simmons, Mr.. Dandy and other
looked over it and fixed it up. They strueF
off certain names and put on certain other
and it was their police force and not that 0
Dir. Wales. Oh, the police force is daisy
A daisy crowd selected it, too"

THE CAMERON PLAN.
Proposing to Withdraw the Staiwart Cam

VIII Also Withdraw.

Proposing to Withdraw the Stalwart Can
dIdates If the Independent Candidates
win Also Withdraw.
PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-General Beaver
and William Henry Rawle, regular Republi-
can candidates for Governor and Supreme
Judge respectively, were at Chairman
Cooper's headquarters to-day, where Mr..
Cooper, Secretary of the Commonwealth
Quay, and other politicians met them.
General Beaver had just made tour of
Montgomery and Chester counties. He
thought there would be large decrease in
the Independent vote of those counties.
Chairman Cooper went to Washington
this evening to consultwith Senator Cameron
In relation to the project of harmonizing the
factions. 1t is understood that at the meet
ing of the State Committee next Wednes-
day the conditional resignation of the regular
candidates will be read, and that they will
retire if the Independent candidate will do
likewise.
This is thought to signify that n new con-
vention will be held If the Independents are
willing. 1t is said that all the regular can
didates have agreed to this plan except
Marriott Brosius, nominee for Congressman
at-Large, who was expected to meet Gen.
Beaver here to-day, but did not come.
There seems to be no doubt, however, that
he, too, will consent. The probable course
of the Independents is in dou BIT. Chair
man Mckee and other leaders decline to
speak upon the subject at present.

THE LESSONS OF DEFEAT.
A Few Pertinent Political Suggestions
" Eternal Vigilance Is the Price of
IIharfvv


:" Eternal Vigilance is the Price of
Liberty"
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAzETTE:-Now
that the smoke Of the recent political battle
has cleared away and we are enabled to view
the field, would 1t not be wise and opportune
In the Democracy Of Wilmington to ascer-
tain the causes which led to our defeat in
the late municipal contest with view to
their removal. In my humble opinion the
principal cause Of our lack of success and
one against which we must exert all our
strength is the voting of persons in the diff
ferent wards who have no right to the cleo
tive franchise either from non-residence or
n-payment of taxes. There is not the
least doubt that large numbers of negroes
were brought here from other places and
voted, Notwithstanding the vigilance Of the
Democratic challengers, and this was tacitly
acknowledged by one of the Republican
witnesses from the Eleventh ward the other
night In Council, when he accidentally
admitted there were several darkies around
the polls who came from smyrna. Now the
Democrats should organize in every ward
and make thorough canvass oftheir respec-
tive precincts that they may know with
accuracy who are entitled to vote. Another
preventive to fraudulent voting would be
the division of all the wards into small pre-
eincts so that there would not be more than
100 votes in any one precinct and then every
voter would know every other voter in the
precinct; whereas the way 1t is now the
window men are not acquainted with one
half of the voters, and even If they have
complete lists of the voters in the ward there
are so many names they have not the time
to run over their lists to challenge a voter
between the time the name of the voter is
announced and the vote deposited. Were
the wards divided into precincts Of 100
voters each this would all be avoided. Aud
again, science should be used to guard the
purity of the ballot box. Each precinct
should be in telephone communication with
the other and with police headquarters, and
this fact of itself would have a tendency to
guard against repeating. Another sugges-
ton and / will close. The pavement or
space around the polls should be kept en-
tirely clear for distance of 10 feet, and no
person except one challenger of each party
allowed within the line under penalty of
500, and where a citizen vouches for voter
the voucher should be sworn, and for this
purpose each and every Judge of election
should be empowered by the Legislature to
administer an oath, SO that the voucher
would be amenable for perjury in case OF
false vouching, which is now SO prevalent.

DOCTORS DISAGREE.
A Quarrel Between the Surgeons Who
Are Conducting the Guitcau Autopsy
Guiteau's Body.

Are GOnducung tine GuiteaM Autopsy
Guiteau's Body.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The official report
of the surgeons who had charge of the Gui-
teau autopsy Is not yet ready and when
ready it may not be signed by all of the par
tieipating surgeons. Doctors Sewers and
Hartigan, two of the physicians, claim that
DR.. Lamb, the third physician, has prepared
report for Philadelphia medical journal
on his own account and without their con-
eurrence. Pefore the autopsy an agreement
was made by the surgeons that the final ex-
animation should be made at the National
Museum, where the body was to be kept
DIR. Lamb sent the other doctor to-day
letter, saying that he had consulted with
other physicians and had concluded that the
agreement did not prevent his sending a
report to a medical journal. Doctors Sewers
and Hartigan replied, requesting DIR. Lamb
to furnish copy Of all the notes taken at
the autopsy to enable them to formulate
report such as they might be willing to sign.
This DR.. Lamb refused TO do, saying that he
did not regard Drs. Hartigan and Sewers as
officially connected with the autopsy or
report.
The EBening Star says: "On Monday
night wagon drove into the enclosure of
the Jail and was for a short time out of sight.
When 1t rea2peared it was driven to the city
and into one OF the alleys through which the
rear part of the Army Medical Museum is
reached. This wagon without doubt con
tanned the body of Charles j. Guiteau, but
the removal having been made with secrecy
there were but few even of the jail guards
who knew of the departure of the remains"
At the Army Medical Museum to-day none
of the physicians or other officials would say
anything about the whereabouts of Gui-
| teau's body or what would be done with it,.
DIR. Lamb said very decidedly 81 don't know
anything"
Before it was decided to bury the body in
the Jail Warden Croker had an understand
| ing with DIR. Hicks that it should be re-
moved to the Army Medical Museum.
Warden Croker, when asked about this
latest removal" to-day, seemed rather dis
pleased that anything should have trans
pired concerning it. He said simply: 'sIf
| the body is not at the Medical Museum it
will be there in day or two" 1t was the
warden's intention not to make the fact of
the exhuming public for some weeks at
least. Rev Dr. Hicks was at the office of
the Register of Wills this morning with
Guiteau's will making inquiry as to proving
it. He did not file it, however.

The Murders in the Phoenix Park.


A curious opinion is very prevalent among
the lower classes in Dublin about the Phoenix
Park murders and it is worth noting.
perhaps, by those who look upon the whole
affair as nexplicable. | have it from one
who was a patient in Stevens Hospital when
the bodies of Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Mr.. Burke were brought in and one of the
lower classes himself says it is the belief of
a very large number of the masses. When
Lord Harrington was Chief Secretary to the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1871, it may
be remembered that the Prince of Wales
visited Dublin, and that there was very
serious disturbance in the Phoenix Park.
The police made furious, and some say.
very unprovoked assault upon. the mob,
near the Wellington memorial, and vast
number of people were beaten IN
Guiding, think, Mr.. I. ID. Sullivan, Nj. L.
Lord Harrington was present, and saw
the whole affair, which created tremen-
duous sensation and resulted i'll the cele-
brated case of "O'Beirne VS.. Harrington.
Now, the assassination of Lord Frederick
Cavendsh is put down by the Dublin lower
orders as an act of private revenge upon the
Cavendish family. Mr.. Burke's fate is be-
lieved to have been only incidental. The
grudge engendered by the police batons and
Lord Hartington's presence eonsenting to
the occurrence was to be at last wiped out,
and directly it was heard that Lord Fred
erick was coming over as Chief Secretary,
the private vendetta was resumed and the
account finally closed. This is common talk
in the Dublin streets. Moreover, the Stew
ems Hospital patient heard it first from some
members of the Royal Irish Constabulary
the night OF the murders, and hence it is
evident that there was an idea in that
quarter that Lord Frederick was in some
danger from his relationship to Lord Hart
ington. All this may be mere idle talk, but
it makes the affair more nearly resemble the
Felton, Buckingham business,

RuRGLARs AT WORK.
A Hotel, House and store Entered by
Thieves and Robbed.

Thieves and Robbed.
After lull of a few weeks, thieves have
again commenced their nefarious work in
this city. During yesterday morning a
thief or thieves entered the residence of I.
C.Johnson, southeast corner Of Chestnut and
VanBuren streets, by prying open back
window. After having gained an entrance,
candle was lighted by which means the
party found their way through every room
in the house. They succeeded in carrying off
seven solid silver spoons that have been in
the family as heirloom for nearly one hun
dred years /; new suit of clothes and q new
pair of shoes.
They then pried open door leading into
a grocery store of Norman Yeatman in the
same building. From there they stole a
ham, several shoulders, basket of cabbage
a box of chewing tobacco and box of
cigars, besides several other articles includ-
ing sugar and coffee. Yeatman is unable
to state his loss at the present time. The
thieves also stole Mr.. Johnson's discharge
from the army and several other valuable
papers belonging to him.
Between ~ and 2 o'clock the hotel OF
John g. Lavery, northwest corner of Fifth
and Madison streets, wGs also entered i'll the
same manner. The thieves went over the
entire house, even visiting the room in
which Mr. Layery was sleeping. They stole
$3 In money from the money drawer in the
bar room and also a good coat and vest be-
longing to the proprietor. The trunks OF
four boarders were also broken open, from
one of which were stolen watch and re-
volVer. What was stolen from the other
three trunks could not be aseertained as the
owners are absent from the city. After hay
ing satisfied themselves the burglars left by
the front door, leaving it partially open. No
clue has as yet been found of the robbers.

be an entering wedge for other companies

the opinion that h would be better to donate
certain amount to the Fire Department.
The resolution WIS lost.

An Unexpected Danger.
tSmyrna Times. ]


1t was well for our strawberry growers
that the great strike of the freight handlers
in the cities did not occur earlier In the
season, or their receipts might have been
much less. But greater concern rests in
this quarter In regard to the peach crop,
from the fact of Its greater magnitude. 1t
1t to be hoped that all the differences will
be adjusted before the incoming of this
crop. OF this, however, there is no
certainty; these strikes are sometimes of
stubborn duration. Two years ago, the
earliest varieties, at a corresponding date,
had been going to market for week. In
week or so small shipments must begin and
by the time the stHale's Early" is reached
the quantity will aggregate a number of
cars daily. We read in the New York papers
of large quantities of cabbage and other
farm products perishing in the freight
houses. The peach crop Is too valuable to
thus be allowed to perish because of the
trifing difference between the railroad men
and their Workmen.
