The Independents at Utica.


 UTICA, N. Y. Oct. 23.-The Daily Press of this city will publish tomorrow morning an address to the Independent Republicans of Utica and vicinity issued by committee of one hundred and fifty, comprising Re- publicans in every walk of life, lawyers, merchants and workingmen. Among the signers of the address are Lewis Lawrence, ex-Judge W. J. Bacon, Colonel F. A. East man, Hon. William H. Comstock, Hon. Benjamin Allen, Hon. c. J. Everett John E. Brandegee, Henry D. Poxley, Charles w. Mather and other leading citizens. While many of the committee are personal friends of Hon. Roscoe Conkling, a large number are Republicans who have hitherto affiliated with the stalwart wing of the Republican party. After stating the objections to Mr. Blaine a candidate for the presidency the address concluded as follows:
 We believe that in following the dictates of conscientious conviction no Republican forfeits in any degree his standing and posi- tion in the party to which he has been and still is attached, but simply maintains the right to which the party has always been pledged of free thought, free speech and free men. In conclusion while we are well aware that this decl aration will ex- pose us to the criticism and quite probably to the vituperation (of which we have already received full measure) of blind zealots and | adherents of the party, we look on the other | hand with some confidence for kind treat | ment and candid consideration from the old and long tried friends from whom l on this single issue we reluctantly sepa- rate. We part in grief and not | in anger. We readily concede to these | friends, made such on many hard fought field for the party we served and the Union we loved, the same liberty of choice and hon. But we cannot, however severe the struggle give up our convictions or surrender ou1 manliness at the mere behest of party. Like l the old reformer we can only ay: 'sHere we l stand; we cannot do otherwise dGod help and l save the Republie.n

MAY WHITES REAL NAME

 FaIIen Girl.

Fallen Girl.
 BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 23.-The case of George M. Hazeltine, of Jamestown, N Y., for the murder of Mamie Thorpe in bagnio last July, came up for trial in the Criminal court to-day. The trial commands more than ordinary attention. The court room was crowded to suff ocation. The interest height ened when May White was called Her testimony was substantially the same as the published account telegraphed by the United Press. When the witness was handed over to counsel for the defense the first question asked was: FfWhat is your real name?" This was the cause of a great sensation. The spectators clambered upon chairs, railings and every available elevation. After quiet had been obtained the witness said: 1T refuse to tell" The pre- siding judge after being appealed to by ex- Senator White, counsel for the defence, com manded her to give her real name. She again refused and all efforts to make her do so were of no avail, further than to say she was born in Utica, N. Y., and lived there with her parents ten years ago she refused to dis close her identity or say anything that would lead to it's disclosure. Governor Whyte then asked her if she knew Congress, Scott Lloyd and others living at Utica. She did not know any of the gentle men named. She had seen Roscoe Conkling once on twice. She said that she had 2 married sister living near Utica, on the Clin- ton road, but refused to give her name. Emma Woodford, Pearl Snow and Maggie Evans also testified for the State. The testi- 1nony of Emma Woodford was to the effect ! that when she heard the first shot she rushed l to the door and burst it open. Hazeltine l was standing in the middle of the room with I two pistols in his hands. He fired at her | but missed her. The prisoner she said, ap- peared to be cool and collected. Nearly all | the evidence for the State had been submit l ted at o'clock, when the court adjourned | until tomorrow.

 TAUNTON, Mass, Oct. 23.-Genera1 Butler spoke at Music Hall this noon to about one thousand people, mostly laboring men. His speech in the main was similar to privious efforts, deviating but once or twice. He all luded to the letter from Parsons which characterized him as a boss and said the last time he saw Parsons was when he borrowed $40 from his business manager in New York to go home with. Lee Crandall, who backs Parsons up, is another who frequently made big promises, but made lamentable failures It was charged that the peoples party would soon collapse, but the only collapse he had heard of was of the Democratic party in Ohio. He said the only speech he made in Ohio was one made at the request of the people on the tariff and that Frank Hurd attributed his (Hurd's) defeat to that speech. There was considerable enthusiasm through out and he was loudly cheered as he drove to the depot

Butler Not Afraid to Face Rotten Eggs.
 BOSTON, Oct. 23.-General Butler has a great many friends and great many ene- mics in South Boston. Last year he was re- ported to have said something about cer- tain class of voters there which the latter considered insulting. At subsequent appear anee there the general was missed off the stage, and is reported to have said he had faced the scum of New York, but the worst plug ugly of Gotham was better than the finest gentleman of Ward IS. The Peoples party are preparing reception to General Butler on the occasion of his appearance in Waits Hall, South Boston, tomorrow even ing. torchlight procession of two thou sand Butler men will receive the general and escort him to the hall, besides parading. The most intense excitement has been crea- ted by the publication to-day of the details of an alleged plot of the generals enemies to rotten-egg him from the platform. The general this morning had the matter brought to his attention, and laughing heartily said such an insignificant matter would not deter him from keeping his appointment, as he had faced pellets more destructive than rot ten eggs. This afternoon Chairman Whit more of the city committee of the Peoples party addressed a letter to the chairman of the police commissioners, asking protection for the meeting tomorrow It is probable that a large extra force of police will be on hand
