Beecher to Talk For Cleveland.


New YORK, Oct. 24-The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher visited the Independent Re-
publican headquarters this morning. He
was in high spirits over the political outlook.
The principal object of Mr.. Beecher's visit
was to present the following letter:
REV. II. W. BEEcHER, My Dear Sir: I wish
to be counted as among the host Of Independent
followers of Grover Cleveland, and you will con-
fer favor by sending my name to the commit
tee. l have been with the Rewublican party all
my life, but the convention menu this year is
pumed crow, with no dessert. With much
esteem, GEORGE HENRY BELL
Mr.. Bell is a member of the Bell Printing
Press company, of New York, and a well
known citizen of Brooklyn. After his name
had been placed on the roll Mr.. Beecher con
versed for few minutes with the members
of the Democratic campaign committee, who
had dropped in shortly after the Plymouth
PASTORS arrival. Mr.. Beecher said that he was
in the canvass in earnest. He should speak
tonight in Chickering ball at meeting to
be held there by the Columbia college Cleve-
land and Hendricks club, and on Saturday
night preside at meeting of the First Ward
Independent club. After that he should
speak three times in New York and then go
to Connecticut. Mr.. Beecher
said that there was a
desire on the part Of many Of Mr. Cleveland's
supporters in Brooklyn to have Mr.. Beecher
speak in Indiana. Mr.. Beecher replied that
he did not see how he could get out to
Indiana, but he should do all he
could in New Jersey and Connecticut
He thought there was no room for
any doubt about New York state.
Speaking of tts result in the country at large,
he said:
Il not only want to see Gov. Cleveland
elected, but l want him to be elected by such
a majority as will be universal rebuke, q
rebuke by all parties to the nefarious opera
tions of the managers of Mr.. Blaine. 1 be-
lieve that will be the result
Mr. Van Week remarked incidentally that
Mr.. Beecher in 1sS2 had asked for large

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 24.-Capt.
Joshua NJ. Brown, the secretary of the Ohio
Republican state executive committee, ar
rived yesterday and took rooms at the Ebbitt
house, and had furnished him list of all
the men employed by the governm ent in the
several departments here from OHIO, and
sent postal card to each one, signed Off
cial asking those who received
the cards to call on him at the
rooms at the Ebbitt To such as responded,
he explained that the Republican state cam
paign committee was $4,000 in debt on ac-
count OF the October election, that the COM
mittee could not get any money to make it
up at home, and that they were entirely out
of funds, and could not raise any more
in Ohio. The committee has appor-
toned part of the debt to the
counties and the individual members of
the committee had paid portion of it, and
were yet responsible for $4,000, and they
had got to have it by the November election.
Some of the clerks told Mr.. Brown that they
had already paid assessments from their
county committee, state com mittee congress
sional committee and the natioua! commit
tee and in addition 70 thst they had pSid their
expenses home to vote in October, and now
the Republican managers were trying to com
pei them in addition to pay their expenses
home for a November vote, and after all of
these various drafts on 1000 clerks, and
messengers who were receiving less,
they asked Capt. Brown what he
thought they ought to pay him.
Brown replied that he thought about
$40 apiece. As there are 400 employees from
! ohio on the government pay roll. $40 each
would about enable the state committee TO
set itself square. II was also developed that
the members OF the state committee were
considerably exasperated against the national

BLOOMINGTON, H., Oct. 24.-The train
arrived here at $50. Mr.. Braine was intro

II take great pleasure in introducing

contest. Distinguished for long, faithful
and brilliant pubic service Mr.. Blaine repre-
sents the party which, in my judgment,

Mr. Blaine responded briefly and closed his
remarks with the following reference to Judgs
Davis:

ton l feel in being presented by my old and
highly esteemed friend, Judge Davis, with

the document is from the pen of the vener-

influential, and respectable of the Republi-

who failed to respond was kept, but the
chairman announces to the Indiana Office

it will be reported to the national committee.
Clerks know well what this means. A SINH

Hendricks at Greencastle.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 24.-Ex-Gov. Hend-
ricks reached Greencastle this forenoon, and
was met by reception committee, three
bands and a large crowd. He was escorted
to the hotel and a creditable parade by the
clubs and local organizations followed. At
10:30 Hendricks appeared at the Wigwam
and addressed an audience numbering 10,-
600. In his speech he discussed the tariff,
claiming that duties should be levied only
for the purpose of defraying the expenses of
the government. He said Cleveland received
support from the best elements of the Re-
publican party, including ministers, scien-
lists, college professors, students, editors
and laborers. He emphasized the fact that
the Democrats looked for strong support
from the Independent Republicans.
In closing his remarks he eulogised the Dem
ocratic party, saying it espoused the weak
against the strong. His speech was fire.

He arrived in the city at O'Clock this even

procession tonight which he reviewed from
the hotel was the largest yet seen here,

most notable demonstration held here for
years. The feature of the procession
was a company of men carrying brooms

there was great enthusiasm and the fire.
works were on an extensive scale. Many
business houses and private residences were
brilliantly illuminated. The crowd at the
wigwam was so dense and demonstrative
that it was with great difficulty the speaking
proceeded. Hendricks WAS wildly
cheered. The noise outside the
wigwam by persons who could not get in was
so great that volunteers were called for by
the Chairman to suppress it. When quiet was
partly restored Hendricks made a twenty
minutes speech. He said;
''On Tuesday week you will be called upon
to say whether the Republican party shall be
kept in power. Surely the Republican party
ought TO be. Blaine tells you the prosperity of
the country depends on high protective
