THE Philadelphia Record should not
make itself ridiculous by pretending to
believe or trying TO prove that ex Governor
Curtin's return to Congress il opposed in
several counties Of his district because of
his vote against the Morrison bill. The
Record knows that this opposition comes
from the short-sighted rotation" prn-
ciple which prevails IN this state and from
the personal ambition of tho half dozen
aspirants to Congress in that district. 1t
is doubtful if any OF his opponents would
have differed from Curtn'B tariff
policy it Ii certain that he lost no
local popularity by it. Moreover, in
Ohio, aud elsewhere, the Democrats
who voted the same way have been gen =
orally renominated. Not in New York,
New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, LOUISIANA nor Tennessee has there
been Democratic declaration in state
convention for the Morrison bill nor a
tariff for revenue only" as the touohstoae
Of Democratic fealty nor will there bo in
the national convention. The Record is a
very good paper, and usually fair it pre-
sents tho tariff reform idea with cogeDcy
and skill, and much of its argument is
sound it must take heed against contro-
versial uufairness.

New Albany Turns Out en- Masse to
Prove It's Loyalty to the Democracy.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 27.-Thomas A.
Hendricks arrived at New Albany this al
terno0n from Evansville, accompanied by
Gen. Mahlon d. Manson, the Democratic
nominee for Lieutenant Governor, Judge
Clampitt of Illinois, Judge w. B. Hone,
Gen. Alpheus Baker, Col. Richard Jones,
Col. S. B. fancy, and S. q. Voolfolk, Of
Kentucky.
He was gwen a grand reception by several
thousand people, who had assembled at the
depot despite the rain, and held reception in
the afternoon. At night people from sur
rounding counties and towns poured into the
city, and fully 10000 persons witnessed and
took part in a grand torchlight procession,
participated in by local and visiting clubs
After the procession Gov. Hendricks made a
speech in the opera house.
He discussed the tariff, arguing that
duties should be levied only for the purpose of
defraying the expenses of the government.
He said that Cleveland received support from
the best element in the Republican party, in
cludlng ministers, scientists and college pro-
fessOTs, students, editors and laborers. He
emphasized the fact that the Democrats were
looking for strong support from the Inde-
glzed the Democratic party, saying that 1t
espoused the cause of the weak against the
strong, the poor against the rich, and of the
oppressed against their OppressQrs The

ANOTHER FRAUD EXPOSED.
Barker's Resignation the Result of a
Suspicion that He is a FOrger.

Barker's Resignation the Result of a
Suspicion that He is a FOrger.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The investiga-
tion which Secretary Gresham is quietly
making as result of the charges of j. j.
Barker, formerly of the First Comptroll-
er's office, while he is supposed to be on
the stump for Blaine, may lead to the re-
moval of First Comptroller Lawrence and
his deputy, Tarbell, and possibly to an
investigation in other bureaus of the
Treasury Department.
Secretary Gresham has found already that
Barker resigned because he knew himself to
be under suspicion of forgery and attempted
fraud. A claim of the State Of Florida for
$4,000 was allowed in the First Comptroller's
ONCE. In the course of business it should
nave been passed to the credit of the State,
which owes the United States about 5000, 900,
but certificate for its payment directly to
an agent of the State was forged in the First
Comptrollers office, and a warrant for the
payment OF the monev would have been is
sued had It not been for the vigilance of the
warrant division. The certificate had actual
ly received the official approval of Deputy
Comptroller TarbeI, who says he signed
1t IN routine way. Barker, knowing
himself suspected OF forging the
certificate resigned and the matter was
hushed up. This is what Secretary Gresham
don't like. No money was lost in this case,
but he does not like to think that in some
other case the Deputy Comptroller may have
approved forged certificate upon which a
that the Comptroller afterwards hushed it all
up. If he should make examples of these
Ofhclals he would uDstop the mouths of clerks
who know of other like Irregularities

ENGLAND's PoLICY LAID BARE.
The Rescue of Gordon and Stewart the
Main Object of the Campaign.

The Rescue of Gordon and Stewart the
Main Object of the Campaign.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-Recent official cor
respondence relating to Egyptian affairs
has been made public. A letter of in
structions from the government to Gen.
Lord Wolseley stated that the object of
the expedition was to bring Gen. Gordon
and Col. Stewart back from Khartoum.
NO further offensive operations than
should prove necessary to secure this end
would be permitted. Neither the English
nor the Egyptian Government was pre-.
pared to assume the responsibility of the
government of the Nile valley beyond
Wady Halfa. though they would be
glad TO see an independent government
established at Khartoum which would
keep peace with Egypt, would encourage
commerce and prevent the slave trade.
When it was known that Gen. Gordon had
sent Col. Stewart to burn Berber the gov
ernment directed Major Kitchener to send
counter orders to Col. Stewart. In a let
ter of April 22 Gen. Gordon writes that he
has offered freedom to slaves who desert
FL Mahdi. This policy he hopes will
sound the doom of slavery in Soudan. He
declares that if Shindu is captured by the
rebels it will be due to the governments
failure to send Zebbr Pasha to him.
He expresses the hope that for the sake Of
the honor Of England Abyssinians have
not been engaged to fight England's bat
ties.
Baron Rothchild's loan of &950,000 to
Egypt, due Oct. 81, has been renewed for
three months.
Gen. Lord Wolseley inspected the Cana
nian camp at Wady Halfa to-day.

route to Key West. He will try to speak

Indiana, with good fighting chances in
other States, He laughs at the idea of
any large detection OF Irish votes, and
confidently expects Cleveland's election.
He is in fine health and cheerful spirits.

A SCORE OF NfEN KInLED.
The Youngstown Mining Region the
Scene of a Terribly Fatal Explosion.

The Youngstown Mining Region the
Scene of a Terribly Fatal Explosion.
UNIONTowN, PA, Oct. 27.-An explo-
sion of fire damp, with results probably
as fatal as attended the terrible disaster
at West Leisenring last January, when 10
lives were lost, occurred at the mines of
the Youngstown Coke Company, miles
from here, between and O'Clock this
evening. The explosion took place IN the
sixth right hand fiat, where about % men
were at work. The fire boss made his
rounds as usual this morning, and discoV-
cred no signs of gas. The day force went
TO work and at 4 O'Clock this afternoon
were relieved by the night turn. Twenty
minutes later, and just after pit boss
James Cole and Supt. Refs had come
up from the mine and gone to the office an
explosion occurred, which shattered win
dows for mile around. Five minutes
later there was a second report and i'm
mediately after flames burst forth
from the openings blocking up
the avenues of entrance. The
news of the disaster spread quickly, and
friends and relatives of the doomed miners
soon gathered at the mouth of the mine,
but the fierce flames prevented any at
tempt at rescue. After hours of work the
flames were subdued sufficiently to allow
descent by way of the air shaft.
RESCUE IMPOSSIBLE.
At this writing volunteers have been
able only to reach part of the mine, ow-
ing to the after damp,a and it is feared that
the entire roof fiat has fallen in. If this
is the case none of the miners at work
there can be saved. The men in other
parts of the mine, who escaped af-
ter the explosion, made an attempt to
rescue their companions, but were una
bic to reach them. The killed and injured
thus far discovered are: Joseph Zebley,
night pumper, single, aged %, killed;
Jack Lopez, rope rider, aged 80, single,
killed; Jack Cole and David Cole, son,
seriously and it is thought fatally in
jured; G. Wilson, slightly injured.
Wash Kebber has Just been rescued.
He is not badly hurt, as he had the pres
ence of mind to lie down in a pool Of wa
ter and avoided inhaling the gas. This
makes six taken out, two dead and four in
jured, Jacob Cole and son probably
fatally. Every effort is be-
ing made to secure others, but up to a
late hour all had been in vain. There is
scarcely chance for any of them to be
saved, as it is thought that all have
perished from after damp ere now. The
air in the vicinity of the mine
is filled with the cries of the women
and children of imprisoned men. There
are plenty of willing hands who are ready
TO risk lives in trying to rescue them, but
it is impossible to get at them now,
and not before morning will the ter
rible tale be known OF how the
explosion occurred. 1t was Just
such a day as that of the West Leisen-
ring disaster. The atmosphere was heavy
and murky, which is regarded as favor
able for the accumulation of fire damp in

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The following is a
copy of the letter sent by Gen. Logan in
reply to the invitation of the Confederate
soldiers of Rockingham county, Virginia,
to address them:
CHICAGO. Oct. 95, 1884.
To Capt. John II. RGlstOn, Harrison5ur0, Va:
MY DEAR SIR-Your letter inclosing a pc
titiOn containing over 800 names Of Confeder-
ate soldiers, residingin your locality, REQUEST
ing me to deliver an address at your place on
the political issues now presented to the citi-
zens or TINS republic for their decision
Is received. l regret exceedingly
that my engagements are such that cannot
comply with their request made IN such a
KIND and generous manner as this has been
1t does seem to me that the people of virginia
who are willing to lay aside their fermer
preJudlces and move forward in a direction
that VIII give them prosperity and be calcu-
lated to develop the great mine of wealth
that lies buried beneath their soil, should
adopt the policy of the protective tariff and
invite Northern capital to invest in manufac-
turing etc, in their State, and to assist in the
growth and development of various indus
tries that your country is we'll adapted to.
The people of the South, by adopt-
ing this policy, will move forward
to great results in the future. Those
who are so prejudiced that they cannot think
or speak of anything but the misfortunes OF
the past, and who refuse to aid and assist in
adopting any policy that will be beneficial to
any part OF their country, will perhaps con-
tinue to cling to their prejudices. Let the
march OF the progressive people of your
country pass them BY the waysIde and move
forward In the direction of grand results for
their people in the future by Joining and asso-
clatng themselves with the party OF progress,
which has shown ability for opening the way
to and bringing about the Grandest results
ever achieved by the people OF any nation
heretofore. These men who have addressed
me in so kindly a manner l recognize
as brave men, such as must take
n ri nCrr fho
out from the lead of men who have kent their
country depressed, and who have never shown
the ability to develop the great sources of
wealth that are everywhere found in their
part OF the country. Convey to these gentle
men my regrets at my inability to visit them
during the campaign, and at the same time
give them my kindest thanks for the very
complimentary manner in which they have
addressed me personally.
With great respect, 1 am very truly,
JOHN A. LOGAN.
