NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-In view of the re- suit of the elections in Ohio and West Vir- ginia the National Democratic committee has issued an address to the people of the United States which says that confidently expect majority in Ohio for Cleveland and Hen dricks in November. The address states that the Blaine managers expended not less than $500, ,000 in Ohio and more than $100,- 900 in West Virginia; that they employed in political jobs the men engaged in the postal service of the United States that the payment of veterans by the commissioner of pensions has been delayed by him with the purpose of coercing them to vote for MT. Blaine; that they armed the marshals of the United States and melted them to violence and outrages; that these abuses of political power have been committed with the full sanction of MT. Blaine, whom they made one of their county and ward workers in the two States, and that the country is fully aroused and alarmed at the corrupt influences surround ing MT. Blaine and will reject him for the presidency. The address further says that MT. Blaine, the speculators and the corpora tions have grown rich but trade is stagnant and that there is 6 general stagnation of business.

A SharD Hattie with Gloves.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Mike Donovan and Walter Watson, the English boxer, fought seven rounds with small gloves for $500 at Turn Hall tonight, eight hundred persons being present. The first five rounds showed some very scientific boxing, but the hitting was very light, the men apparently sparring for points. The spectators having seen enough of such work became clamorous for something of a slugging character. In the sixth round the men warmed up to their work and some heavy hitting was indulged in, Donovan forcing the fighting and having the best of the round and the contest thus far. When time was called Watson was manifestly defeated man, but the referee called for another round. In the seventh round Watson showed himself game fight CT, but the superior generalship, stamina and science of his opponent proved too much for him and Donovan was called the winner. Blood was drawn in the last round by Dono- vor

Sweeny by Great Britain upon suspicion of intent to violate the law and his inn prisonment without indictment or trial was monstrous injustice and gross violation of international law; that it was the duty of this government to make a reclama- nation upon England in his and similar cases and in failing to do so MT. Blaine as Secre- tary of State was guilty of crime against liberty; that Minister LuwelTs correspond ence and his expression of desire not to embarrass the English government and his indifference to the fate of unjustly imprison- ed citizens tended to bring the United States into contempt; that MT. Lowell should therefore be recalled; that the legends upon the banners of Blaine and his supporters of Protection to changed to fFCupidity at home and timidity abroad, that had there been Hancock in the presidential chair the demand for the re- lease of illegally imprisoned Americans would have been promptly made, and we are equally assured that the frmness and dignity that characterized the Democratic party in the days of Pierce and Marcy will be maintained in the coming administration of Grover Cleveland
 Chairman Bison then introduced Hon. Abram $. Hewitt, who gave 8 statement of the efforts of himself and his colleague, MT Robinson, to effect the release of American citizens from English prisons. He claimed that all the great measures of justice to natu- ralized persons had arisen within the Demo- cratic party. The question was greater than the tariff or any other issue and should not be dropped until the words 'I am an Ameri- can citizen" should be a shield of protection the world over.
 Mrs. Parnen then denounced the Republi- can party for its neglect to protect American citizens, gave touching pictures of the treat ment of the suspects in Ireland and of the abuse which she had herself suffered though an American citizen, and declared that only by the election of the Democratic candidate for President could Ireland hope to obtain relief from America. Her remarks aroused much enthusiasm

A New York Bank in Trouble.

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The directors of the Metropolitan National bank have issued a circular to the banks stockholders asking permission to put the institution into liqui- dation. The question of iquidating or COR tinuing business will be decided at meeting to be held early next month. An officer of the bank said to reporter to-day that the banking business had been overdone for the last few years and was at present losing one for many banks. When gen eral business began to fall off about two years ago the competition between the banks for what little business
 there was led to ruinous practices, such as paying interest on the deposits of country banks when money was a drug in the mar ket. One-half the banks could do the pres ent business at fair profit, while, if all con tinued, only few could make living. Among the down town bankers to-day the general belief was that the Metropolitan bank would go into liquidation. If the as sets were now sold the stockholders would probably receive one hundred cents on the dollar, but the bank

 BAY CITY, Mich, Oct. 17.-Bright and early this morning the corridors of the Ban croft House at East Saginaw began to fill up and soon the Blaine reception committee from Bay City appeared. MT. Blaine kept his room until nearly time for starting GAO, but when he came out he looked considera- ply brighter than he did yesterday morning. Meantime General Fremont had been hold ing an informal reception in his room and finally the crowd of those who wanted to see him became so great that he came down to the foot of the stairs where Senator Palmer announced that "The pathfinder would shake hands with everybody, EFbut please do not grip the old mans hand too hard" At 9:15 the line of carriages headed by a band started for the Flint and Pere Marquette depot. Here were over one thousand people who cheered as the train pulled out At Bay City there was a crush at the depot and after considerable delay the party entered carriages under promise of the local committee that they would be brought back to the depot in twen- ty minutes. The procession moved through the principal streets, all of which were lined with people, and the houses decorated ]; thence to Madison Park, where Charles F. Gibson, candidate for Congress, introduced the presidential candidate, who was cheered and in turn presented Palmer, Fremont and Alger. Then the whole party reviewed the procession.
 FLINT, Mich, Oct. 17.-At this place large crowd was assembled on both sides of the track. The wagon bridge across the river was elaborately decorated. From platform car backed up to the train Judge Gold, of Flint, introduced MT. Blaine, who made the longest and best speech of his Michigan tour. After making his usual protection arguments he said since reaching Michigan he had received several letters asking him if he belonged to the F'Knownothing party" These were supple mented by telegram from California asking if he had voted for Fillmore in 1856 He re- alized that there was party of "Knownoth- ings" in this country and that it is constant ly increasing.
