Clergy men living nAa1no Ia1y.
NEW YORK, Oct. pa number of
ypy York clergymen of various de-
.ominations this morning adopted
solutions strongly endorsing the
Rppuplican nominees, declaring they
tsleved in their personal purity and
irnouncing the Democratic candi-
stes. Rev. DIR. Burchard presented
,nr resolutions to Blaine on behalf
/ the deputatiOn. The latter re-
.ponded, thanking the clergymen for
he great compliment which he knew
| % be extended to him as represen t.
,tive of the Republican party whose
creed and practices are in harmony
With the church. He defied any
man to point out a single measure of
rbst party which could not challenge
tbe appreciation of Christian minis
ian ministers and the approval of
: God.
Mr.. Blaine further said: 'You can
/ DO more separate party from its his
+ Ory than yon can separate man
from his character, and what I meant
| By saying that the tariff is the con-
! iusiye issue Is that it steps to the
front, not in tie exclusion of q thou
ssnd other important issues, but for
This critical occasion and at the close
Ofthis great campaign it stands forth
las that issue which represents bread
to ibe hungry and clothing to the
naked and prosperity to the people.
There fore repeat that the great con-
|ic. of 81 closes with the people of
lie United States standing face to
Zee liz two pa1tits, saying whether
they will adhere to that policy of
uoiection which has trebled the
Tealth of the Unite d States in twen-
" years or whether they will aban-
don it and return once more to that
heory Of free trade. 1t involves
aher issues, too. The nation can
grow and is growing without con-
|luuslly enlargine its relations with
other nations. AS these relations
become so enlarged they become COM
plicated, and therefore the foreign
policy of the United states goes right
along with its domestic policy. 1t
annot in the affairs of our destiny
and our policy separate the one from
the other. The policy of the United
States in the past and in the future
must be one OF broad, liberal, chris
liam principles. And in that policy
il must be one in my Judgment
which draws nearer within the circle
Of the sy mpathies of the United
States those of the struggling repub-
lies of North and South America
which bring them first into trade re-
atoms and then into closer personal
|Aud moral relations, and l believe
That we shall not only have that
great gain that comes from such m
srcourse, but we shall enlarge with
civilization until its limits shall In

A Young Man assaulted and stabbed

James d. Thomson. a young man en-
ployed in the forwarding department of
the Central Railroad, and a son Of Audi

front of the house of the latter. Mr..
Thomson lives with his father at No. 50
Montgomery street. His sister, Mrs. W.
e.. MOngin, lives at No. ia Montgomery
street. Mr.. TaylOr's house is next door
10 that Of Mr.. Mongin. According TO
Thomson's statement, about $3.50 O'Clock
last night he started 10 call at his
sisters residence. He mistook Tay-
lor's house for No. ia, and pulling down
the blind looked in. The next momenC
Mr.. Taylor came to the door. "What do
you want?" he asked. Mr.. Thomson,
thinking 1t was his brOther-in-law who
would recognize him in a moment. said
that he made no reply and stood to one
side. The door was closed for an instant
and then Taylor came out and struck him,
knocking him out in tue middle OF the
street. 4 struggle ensued, during which
he was cut and stabbed about the head
and face with a large knife. Officer
Anglin came up and pulled Taylor OF.
At the police barracks Thomson pre-

RIVER AND HARBoR.
G~IeaninKs Among the Shipping and
Along the Rive ron

GIeaninKs Among the Shipping and
Along the River Front
The steamship City of Macon went
ashore on the Upper Flats while on her
way up the river Sunday night. Her
passengers were brought to the city yes
terday morning on the tugs Constitution
and Republic. The City Of Macon re-
mained ashore all day, with tugs and
lighters at work assisting to get her of.
1t was thought she would be hauled of on
this mornings tide.
Yesterday afternoon about l O'Clock the
steamship NacOOchee went ashore on the
DEVILS Elbow, at the foot of West Broad
street, while on her way down the river
bound for sea. She remained there about
two hours and vas hauled of by tugs,
when she again essayed to get
to sea. But by her previous delay the
full tide was lost, and at the Upper Flats
she again took the ground, where she
held fast almost alongside the City of
Macon. 1t was thought probable that
she would also come off on this mornings
tide. AS it is the channel is blocked, and
nothing can pass up OF down. The
steamship City of Augusta is
due on this mornings early tide,
but if the other two vessels fail to get off
she will probably be delayed at Tybee.
The grounding of the vessels, 1T is claimed,
was due to the low water in the river, the
northwest winds having blown it out to
sea.
