Conservative Demonstration.

LONDON, October 13.-The Conservative
demonstration announced for Birmingham
to-day, involving meetings in the Aston
grounds, town hall and skating rink, was
prevented by an organized force of their
opponents. The Liberals in great numbers
forced an entrance to the town hall by bat
tering in the doors with heavy planks and
overwhelmed the Conservatives. A free
fight took place in which furniture was
broken and freely used for weapons. The
mob swept from the platform the officers
of the meeting, and the speakers, Sir Stat
ford Northcote and Lord Churchill, endeav-
ored to address the people present but their
efforts were useless and they were obliged
to retire to side room where they made
short addresses to small party. The mob
endeavored to prevent the speakers from
being heard. The speakers denounced the
action of the Liberals.

Wright & Son, general agents of the Red
Star Line, state that the American boats
have been sold to the International Navi-
CATION Co., which has undertaken to
continue and develop the Philadelphia
and Liverpool service under the present

ON THE SHELF.

Look at the dangling curls,
And look at the mellow eyes
That peep from beneath her tresses
In childish and glad surprise.
And look at the stunning hat,
And its airy, Powerful charm,
And the nicely rounded shoulder,
And the bit of snowy arm.
| think | should like to be
With her in garden fair,
And watch the breezes wanton
With those strands of ribbond hair.
I'd like to take her out
A-rowing upon the lake,
And have her smile upon me
And address me as Pete" or Jake y
But this can never be,
And think il perfect shame
That know not the pretty maiden
] know not even her name.
| met her not by the sea;
Or the mountain waterfall
Or at a swell reception

It's dreadfully sad to say it:
Ne'er by her side I'll strut
She dwells on a shelf in the office,
And she's only fancy cut.

Gold and Silver.

WASHINGTON, October 16.-The Director
Of the Mint has prepared statement in
regard to the present money circulation in
the 50 principal countries of the world. AS
compared with the circulation reported
wear ago. it shows a decrease in the
gold circulation of about S52,0OO,0OO; an
increase in the silver circulation of S42,-
10000, and an increase in the paper cir
culation of Sl12. 900. He attributes the
loss in the gold circulation 10 the reduced
production and the increased demand in
the use Of that metal in ornamenation

London Times on the OHIO Result.

LONDON, October 16.-The Times this
morning devotes its leader to American
politics appropos of the Ohio election.
Some noteworthy sentences are as follows J;
'Ohio is loyal to the Republican party. 1t
is likely she will not reverse the majority
of 10000 in November. The Presidential
contest is new narrowed to New York and
Indiana. No great issues have been raised
during the campaign. The personal ques-
ton has been more debated than tariff or
civil service reform. When the election
has been decided free trade will probably
become dominating and the dividing ques-
ton in agriculture.

ROMANCE OF THE KING.

The King of Somewhere loved the queer
OF Somewhere else most dearly,
And in his courtier Gobetween
Confed he sincerely.
The courtier was a pleasant man,
OF readiest invention,
And always had some clever plan
To hold the Kings attention.
The Queen was coy and hard TO please,
AS best beseemed her station;
The King upon his bended knees
She kept in supplication.
No favering answer would she give,
No smile of kind consenting;
And, while the King was fain to live
Yet life was all amenting.
At last he prayed his courtier wise
To aid III his proceeding;
The courtier's ready wits devise
Plans worthy of his breeding.
He hastened to the naughty Queen,
And praised his Royal Highness;
So willy was this Gobetween
He chuekled DER his slyneas.
The Queen was softened by his art,
And when her suitor rendered
His royal kingdom land his heart,
She graciously surrendered.
The King and Queen lived happily,
In hand and heart were welded;
As for the courtier-let me see
Oh, yes-he was beheaded.

Heform in Anne Arundel.

A reform movement was inaugurated IN
Anne Arundel county, Nd, last fall, and a
fusion of so-called Democrats and Republi-
cans was made. They nominated county
officers and elected them.
The result of the success is told in the fol:
lowing letter from Annapolis 70 the Baltimore
Sun Of Thursday:
1.-The reported discovery of check pur.
porting to have been drawn IN favor Of Mr.,
Michael Banlan for $500 by the county com.
missinners for services in opposing the Anne
Arundel county treasurer's bill before the last
Legislature has created sensation in Annapo-
lis 1t was stated that one of the members of
the county commissioners board had seen
such check and threatened to make racket
about the matter. The clerk to the commits
siapers denied the matter, but admitted that
a check for much smaller amount had been
made payable 10 Mr.. Bannpn for counsel
fees. To-day Mr.. James s. Robinson, clerk
10 the board, saw DIR. Wash. G. Tuck, q
promipent Republican here, and asked him
If he had stated, as had been represented,
that he (Robipson) had kept two blank
check hnoksin the commissioners office, from
which to issue CHECKS. DIR, Tuck replied that
he had been informed by DR.. I4inthicam, one
of the commissioners, that such was the case.
As regards Mr.. lannon's check, DIR. Tuck
also SIat6u t1ab DF. HUI lOlu HiiLl
of the transaction with Mr.. Bannon, and said
he had written to DIR. Linthicum 10 corrobo-
rate his statement, which the county clerk had
denied as false. In reference to the double
check book DR.. Tuck says DIR. Linthicum
told him that he had requested the clerk to
show him the regular check hook, WHICH was
fagpd IA he enrreGt, He then asked Nj.
Robinson for another, which he stated was
handed him reluctantly by the clerk, and
found that such check had been issued.
''It is also charged that informalities exist
in transaction over the appointment of the
Anne Arundel almshoGse keeper. DIR. Tuck
says his friend, DIR. Linthicum, a republican
member, is disguised with the workings of
the board, and talks ofresigning. DIR. Linthi-
cum had told him, he said, that on one oeca-
sion the board had drawn up a paper COM
mending its own course, but that he had r.
fused to sign it because he knew they were
not acting right in many matters. Dr. Tuck
asked DR., Lfnthieum yesterday morning why
he did not resign from the board, and he re-
piled that he had inst saved the county $500,
referring to the Ramon check. DIR. Tuck
states that during the conversation DR.. Linthi.
cum had told him that there had been an Of
fort to cover the matter up"

Destructive storm.


The Hanover Citizen Of Thursday last says:
-On,Thursday evening of last week very
destructive storm passed over q portion of
Conewago and Union townships and on down
toward Westminster, part of which also
reached Hanover, where considerable rain
fell and limbs were blown from trees The
severest portion of the storm, however, ex
tended from Just north of McSherrystown al
most due south, to the Littlestown road, COW
ering a strip Of country about 8 miles long
by mile wide. There was high wind which
uprooted trees, destroyed fences and tangled
the grain, while heavy fall of hail added to
the damage. The corn in lots about MeSher
rystown and on the farms of Messrs. S. G.
Sneeringer, V. 0'Bold, Adam Diller, David
p. Forney, N. w. Git, Rufus Krug, William
Menges, Jos. Heagy, George Hoke, Jesse D.
Keller, Solomon Schwartz, Samuel Schwartz
and others, were cut to pieces, and the wheat
also badly cut and much grain threshed out.
The farms of Solomon Schwartz and George
Hoke, the latter tenanted by Joseph Raber,
sustained the heaviest damage. The rain fall
was very heavy also, and did considerable
damage by washing the fields. The hail fell
in such quantities that at places it could have
been shoveled up; some of the hailstones were
as large as hickory nuts. Many panes of glass
were broken and the fruit greatly injured.
In McSherrystown the gardens were badly
damaged and the loss from broken glass was
considerable. A large tree was also blown
across the track of the Littlestown Railroad,
several miles from town. Joseph Raber,
living near by, saw the obstruction on the
road, and taking precautions to have the ex-
press train north tagged in time, came on to
town and notified the railroad officials. The
trackmen went out and removed the tree.

Let Us Hope Not.
From the Ne,c York World:


A Rlaine organ in Pittsburg, Pa, says that
"Blaine's popularity with the, yonng men is
one of the most significant features of the
political situation Atthe same time we are
told that Blaine Club in Maine has resolved
TO carry during the campaign a TaHoaed Man
on its 9aqner, and to wear badges on which
a tattooed figure is TO be represented.
We should be sorry if the alleged Rittsbarg
be indeed bad sign for his future of tho Re-
public if its Young men should admire panli.
date whose public career is.blistered by the
branding irons of his own friends,
What ia there in Mr.. Blaine's life to win
popularity with the youth ofthe country? 1t
is true he has ability, but to,what use has he
put it? He has made himself wealthy by po-
litical jobbery and Congressional venality He
has used his power in the honorable position
of Speaker to secure profits out Of railroad
corporations and rich lobbyists. He has
beeh bald, ansarHpHlags and RECKLESS in his
schemes and has escorted to disholorapIe
tricks To remove the EVIDENCES of his miseon-
duct AS politician be has been bitter in
his jealousies and malignant in his enmities.
He has never done great act or made great
speech on any important question which will
live in the memory of his countrymen. Self.
ish, ambitious, revengeful, avaricious and un
scrupulous how he made money, what exam
pie does he set worthy the emulation and
admiration of the honest youth of the Re-
public?
1t is not true that the young men of New
York favor blaine. We hope it is not true
Of any other part of the Gnnntry-eEen of
PittsbuFg, whore young men are smoEe.dried
before they mature.
The story ofthe tattooed banner and badges
is painful evidence of the low condition of
the public morals Blaine is tattooed by his
record, not by his enemies. and the action Of
the Maine club eyinees defiance Of public
sentiment and of common decency which is
not pleasant TO contemplate.

A Statesman and Scholar.
From the Ne,c York World.

From the Ne,o York World
1t is said in behalf of the New York Tribune
that when it starts in on a partisan career it
goes the entire hog, so to speak. When it is
an organ it is an organ and Its music is genu-
inc. Here we find it yesterday whitening with
scorn and satire the Hon. Theodore Lyman,
of Massachusetts, because he has had the
etfrontery to allude TO John Logan as an
illiterate man.
The Tribune reminds Mr.. Lyman, with q
contempt that is really grand, that Mr.. Logan
speaks French and Spanish-English being
implied-and is withall Shakespearian scholar
and an enthusiast 1t assures him that Mr..
Logan has been known to correct Harvard
graduate in Latin pronunciation. The only
doubt it casts upon him as scholar and lin
gust is in this equivocal line: 'Perhaps his
English may sometimes betray traces of the
pioneer habits of third of a century ago in
Southern Illinois" Just so.
The traces of these pioneer habits evidently
had full dominion over Mr.. Logan when he
made that famous speech in the Senate of the
United States so graphically described by the
editor of the Tribune on the 18th of January,
1875. This is what the great linguist and law
graduate did on that occasion-we quote the
Tribune:
"And then he went for his mother tongue.
He smote it right and LETT, hip and thigh, and
showed no mercy, Swinging the great broad
axe Of his logic high in air, he turned it ere
it fell, and with the hammer side struck the
language of sixty millions of people fairly in
the face and mashed it beyond recognition.
Under his stroke the floor of the American
Senate was spattered with the remnants of a
once proud vocabulary, and messengers, door
keepers and pages were covered from head to
foot with the spray. In the fearful two hours
which followed the first roar of his Grafton all
the parts of speech were routed and put to
fight. There were orphaned adjectives and
widowed nouns; bachelor verbs driven to
pQlYgamy and pqlygamoqs verbs left lonely;
coijunctions discovered, propositions scat
tered, adverbs disheveled and distorted, and
syntax flung into wild disorder. 1t was
great day for Logan. All! Logan is great
mana statesman. When he throws his in-
telleet into question, whether it is of finance
or self government, OF At sticking to the ship,
something has got to come. And you may
always know where to find hinl-to wit, where
be has always been, drawing pay from the
Governments in some capacity. He LACKS only
fifteen or twenty things of being an nratar,

The Republican Bolt in New York.


The New York correspondent of the Balti.
more San, writes;
The magnitude of the bolt over Baine's
nomination is greatly underestimated. It is
the generally accepted opinion that the dsaf
lection is strictly confined to o class of Re-
publicans comprised in the category of politi
cal esthetics. While it is true that the So
called imam milliners' set the anti Blaine
ball rolling, and are even now making nine
teHths of the anti Blaine noise, yet they do
not represent ten per cent. Of the Republicans
in this State who will refuse to .Gte The Chi
cago ticket. The disaffeotion within the last
ten days has spread with great rapidity and
into entirely unlooked-for quarters.
First. A new and secret movement has been
started among the business men, caused by
the conviction that Blaines election might
result in disturbing the existing peaceful re-
lations of this nation with foreign countries.
So far this movement has not taken definite
shape, but the nucleus has been formed and
the promoters are said to have received great
encouragement in their work.
Second. The German element, four fifths
of which vote is Republican, is bitter against
the Maine statesman. Ny German friends
believe that his views ON prohibition are an
tagonistic to their interests. In this view
they are fully committed, and their convic-
tons are SO firmly rooted that at the present
time there appears to be absolutely no chance
of their being won back to the Republican
standard.
Thirdly. In the interior of the State, and
especially along the line of the Erie canal,
there is trouble which will cost the Republi-
can ticket thousands of votes. In these To-
eaities the workingmen's element is in open
revolt, aud the voters of that class declare
that under no circumstances will they support
the Republican ticket in November Z.
OF course it is impossible 10 estimate even
approximately the number Of votes that the
Republicans will lose and the Democrats gain
by this disafection. There is no doubt, how
ever, that it will be very large, and in the az
gregate. other things being equal, would re-
suit in giving this State TO the Democrats BY
a tidal wave majority.

The committee appointed by the National
Republican convention 10 notify James G.
Blaine of his nomination for President, jour
neyed to Augusta, Maine, on last Friday, and
the next morning broke the news to the Tat
tooed Statesman. Gen. Henderson was the
spokesman of the committee, and read the
notification from manuscript. The formality
took place beneath the shade trees at Mr..
Blaine's residence. The crowd stood in u
semi circle, with uncovered heads. Mr.. Blaine
occupied the are of the circle, and received
the announcement with bowed head, ard IN
assumption of au exceedingly great amount of
solemnity. He said in his reply, read from
manuscript also, that he was deeply impressed
and oppressed. He did not say so, but he was
deeply Impressed" probably, with the fact
that his questionable railroad and other trans
actions were well known, and dressed"
because his ambition to be Preshe will not
be gratiiied. On November 4tl. next, he will

A boiler exploded at Albany, Georgia, last
week, killing four negroes and wounding
another. Here is another chance for Senator
John Sherman TO investigate southern out
RACES" He could move the appointment Of
a committee to ascertain whether it was not
a blow at the rights of the eolored man for
the boiler to explode just as the victims were
near by. The explosion occurred in brick
yard, and there were other times that could
have been selected by the boiler to fly to
pieces, when no colored men were near--at
the dinner hour, for instance. Some of the
bricks in the yard could be summoned, and
they would be as competent as some of the
witnesses in the Danvlle affair, or as Eliza
Pinkston, who was made to testify as James
A. Garfield desired she should, in an inner
room in the New Orleans Custom House,
when he was figuring to steal the presidency

The revolt at the nomination of Blaine and
Logan is spreading every day. In New York
it is not confined to the heightened reformers
like George William Curtis and George Jones,
but exists to large extent among the bust
ness and laboring men as well. Acceptable
Democratic nominees, tits thought, will sweep
the state by a tidal wave majority. The re-
volt is spreading in the Bay and Nutmeg states
also, and at present it looks as though the
Democrats would haye an easy victory ip the
latter, and have good prospects of success in
the former
