WITH republican Secretary of the lrta-
sury recommending reduction of the tariff
and republican President endorsing that
recommendation, it begins to look as it the
republican party, as long anticipated, in
tsnds to come over to the democratic idea
and adopt low tariff policy, and
thus leave the protective tariff to the
support of that small and anomalous
class of politicians known IA democrat
ic protectionists. That the republicans
of the Northwest are withdrawing their
support of protective, and giving it to a
reform tariff is rendered apparent by the
immense republican losses there at the late
election. The Northwest is now great
agricultural country, and the farmers there
are wise enough to know that protection
doesn't protect them.

4 RRIGHr pROSpEcr


The great Tammany demonstration in
New York Tuesday night following on the
heels OF the ovation to Cleveland last week,
has struck terror into the hearts of the
Blaine-Elkins crew. They see that New
York is lost to them, and while keeping up q
show of fight in that state they are, in reality,
transferring their efforts to Indiana, New
Jersey and Connecticut. This virtual
abandonment of New York is equivalent to
acknowledging defeat, for if the Democrats
carry New York they are sure to win,
whether they carry Indiana or not.
But it is not within the bounds Of proba-
bilities that the Dorsey experiment of 1880
can be repeated in Indiana. 1t is hardly
likely that the government printing presses
will be used by Arthur's subordinates to sup
ply the sineWs of war. Gov. Hendricks
personal popularity and the feeling that in
his person he stands as the victim of the
great wrong eff 1876, insures him Indiana
beyond any reasonable peradventure.
With this outlook it only remains for Dem
ocrats everywhere to Loyalty stand together
and march in triumphal column to victory
This is no time for laggards or OBJECTIONS
anywhere. Those who would enjoy the
fruits of success must Loyalty aid il win
ming it.

GONERNOR CLEVEL1ND.

Gov. Cleveland reached Albany at As p.
m. Oct. 18th from his visit at New York and
Brooklyn, and was met at the depot by
large crowd who had assembled to greet him.
lie was loudly cheered as he walked to his car
riage from the cars. He appeared to be in ex
cellent spirits, and expressed himself much
impressed with the magnitude OF the demon
STATIONS in New York and Brooklyn, and at
the earnestness and confidence that prevailed
the Democracy. The Governor and his pri-
vate secretary were driven at once to the
Executive mansion, and later in the evening
they worked several hours in the Executive
chamber. Governor CIeveiand's devotion
to the discharge Of every official duty is a
marked train in his character. working
man himself, why should he not be friend
of working men, as he is.
During the evening he was made the re-
cipient of the gold headed cane which had
been voted him at Catholic fair in Illinois,
he having received majority of votes over
Blaine, as the most popular candidate for
the Presidency. Shortly after his arrival at
the Executive mansion, the Governor was
waited on by a committee consisting of the
Right Reverend Thomas Devaney and Frank
7. Kean, from the Catholic church of Gil
man, Illinois, who presented him with the
handsome gold headed, ebony cane, which
bore the inscription, ''Voted to Hon. Grover
Cleveland at the Catholic Church Fair, Gill
man, Illinois, September, 1884"
Father Devaney, who is an influential
Catholic and pastor of the church, in a short
presentation speech referred to the high
esteem in which Grover Cleveland was held
by his church people in Illinois, and ex-
pressed the belief that the great majority the
Governor had over Blaine in the contest for
the cane was but prestage of the result in
November. Governor Cleveland responded
happily, saying that it gave him great pleas
ure to receive so fattering an assurance of
the esteem of his western Catholic friends,
and lie appreciated especially the honor done
him by Father Devaney and Mr.. Kean in
waiting nearly two days at Albany to present
in person the gift voted. The gentlemen
spent some little time with the Governor and
were handsomely entertained.

Judge Larson's Canvass of the Eau Claire

Especial Correspondence Of the elobc.I


SUPERIOR, Wis, 2l.-Judge L. +. Larson,
of Eau Claire, Democratic candidate for
member of congress from this district made
rousing political speech here last even
ing. In spite Of a heavy rain storm the hall
was well filed, a large proportion of the
audience being Scandinavians, who turn out
freely all over the district to hear their
eountryman. Judge Larson viii go ont of
Douglas county with a handsome majority,
in fact, large majority, if the Scandina-
viaus here give him good vote, aud it looks
now as If they would. In other parts of the
district the Swedes and Norwegians will give
him a large vote.
Judge W. T. Price, the Republican candi-
date for reelection to congress, will wave the
bloody shirt here Thursday evening, and
probably tell the people, as did Republican
orator last Saturday evening, that vote for
Blaine is vote for high wages, and vote
for Cleveland is vote for low wages. The
Republican speakers from Mr.. Blaine down

managers at present is shown by the differ
ence of opinion between Steve Elkins and
Chairman Warren, of the state committee.
Mr.. Warren is so much alarmed over the in
roads of the Prohibitionists that he wants
to have Blaine come here Immediately and
ride up and down the state showing his
plumes, particularly in counties
where the Prohibitionists' strength
is the greatest. Elkins says no: New York
is irretrievably lost, and the thing to do is to
descend with full pockets upon New jersey
and Connecticut, while keeping desperate
grip upon the doubtful western states.
The Rev. Jas. Freeman Clarke's manly
reply to the seven Buffalo clergymen con-
corning the exploded charges against
Gov. Cleveland, in which he
clearly shows that not word
of proof of the accusations has been pro-
duced, after all the vaporing of the accusers,
has had salutary effect in shutting up the
windmils.
Senator Thurman was seen at the Metro
politan hotel to-day. Speaking of the Ohio
election, he said it could not be controverted
that the Democratic vote was the largest ever
polled in the state, and that the Republicans
after such a struggle as they had never made
before, failed in holding their
own for presidential year,
He thought the Democrats would win in In
diana by making vigorous fight, and as to
the general result he declared that Blaine's
defeat was a foregone conclusion. Mr.. Chan
der is working the Brooklyn navy yard hard
for Blaine. There are more crippled govern
ment vessels there now than at any time
since the war, and workmen are being
crowded into the yard under the exigency Of
the law and other pretenses.

Dodge County Convention.

KAssoS, Oct. 21.-The Republican county
convention for the nomination of county of.
ficers and representative to the legislature
was held in Mantonville yesterday, and re-
suited in the following nominations:
Auditor-C. Hummason, Dodge Center.
County Attorney-G. B. Edgerton, Kas-
son.
County upcrintendent-A. NJ. sperry.
Wasioja.
Representative - John Edmond, Clare
mont.
Commissioner-W. A. Houston, Kasson.
We understand the nominations did not
give entire satisfaction, as the representative
was promised to Concord, but the promise
was ignored, and creates considerable dis
satisfaction, as Nat Avery thought he had
sure thing, having secured his delegation.
No particular interest is manifested in the
nominations except county attorney, where
Geo. Edgerton received his reward for his
exploit with the jug Of whisky in Vernon a
few years since.

siastic meeting in the Grand opera house
here tonight and the commodious building
was filed from the stage to the door. 1t wa;
expected that Col. L. L. Baxter would adj
dress the meeting, but owing to
sudden attack of illness he
was unable to attend The Hon. Mort Will
kinson, however, made an address, which
for vigor of thought and energy of express
sion has rarely been eQualed in Duluth.
Senator Wilkinson was introduced by
Alonzo Whiteman, the Democratic cauCidate
for the legislature for the Forty-sixth
senatorial district. Whiteman's speech was
short but pithy, and elected much applause.
On the subject of the tariff he said that he
did not believe this was proper issue in a
national campaign. He regarded it as a Sec
tlonal or local issue. and had no right to be
injected into the campaign. He
very ably showed the difference be-
tween Henry Clay's and Blaine's tariff views,
and showed that the latter was only posing
in false position and sailing under false
flag. Talking of protection he said he would
not paralyze the farmer to protect the iron
mines, but he would throw the protecting
arm VI IuC SOfCiHLIlGHb around tho
agriculturalist as well as tlls
manufacturer. The Chill people
should be protected. Mentioning The lett,
of Horatio Seymour on the tariff he said that
its doctrines were the true ones. Seymour's
name brought down the house. The i'm
portant issue of this campaign is honesty
and integrity of government administration.
He explained the Fisher letters so clearly
that the dullest in the audience could
not all TO see their meaning.
The speech was eloquent, earnest and
thoughtful. He said that he was in congress
with Blaine and knows the latter to be
in league with such fellows as Bill King, of
this state, and Steve Dorsey. Wilkinson
has apparently lost none of his fire and old
time vigor. The audience listened with
breathless attention for more than an hour.

Honrv Ward Beecher,s Great Effort

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Rey. Henry Ward
Beecher. in the course of his political speech
tonight in the rink at Brooklyn, said:
''The air is murky with the stories of Mr..
Cleveland's private life. Lies so cruel, so
base, so atrocious, have never before been
set in motion as the cockatrice's eggs
hrooded and Matched by rash and
credulous clergymen. They couldn't go to
Mr.. Cleveland with honest inquiry, but
opened their ears to the harlot and the
drunkard [sensationl and promulgated a
SANDER to poison the faith of holy men and
innocent women. Do timid ministers ever
reflect that the guilt of the vice or of the
crime measures the guilt of him who charges
it falselv!" (Cheers.)
Mr.. Beecher then paused and stepping to
the desk read in trembling tones, thus:
My honored and beloved wife, quite I'M
known to me, made cuttings from newspa-
pers all of which were in respect to the life of
Gov. Cleveland in Albany. She. sent them
to him with letter that will not be pub
lished, but which would be a gem in En-
glish literature if it were published. AS
quick as mail could return she received this
letter from Gov. Cleveland which l have
had between two and three weeks.
and which he meant to be and marked pri-
vate. but such complexion has the canvass
taken that telegraphed him two nights ago
to ask if 1 might use my discretion with re-
gard to it. His reply was, Certainly, if it
is your Judgment Now read Gov. Cleve-
lands letter:
