The Greenville Banner says: "There
Is class of men in the Democratic party
who seems to think that no man should
be nominated for President unless he is
very wealthy, without any regard to his
integrity or ability. Whenever the party
practices what 1t breaches, by putting
forward men with pure characters and a
record consistent with the principles of
Democracy, we can succeed, and not till
then; but it is believed that this year
the party will act wisely ard WELL"

The Sunny South acted wi sely in sus-
pending the publication of morning
paper in Waco in opposition to the
Examiner, which controlled the press
dispatches. Two large papers in terri
tory so limited would succeed only in
bankrupting each other, and 1t was true
wisdom to realize at once that which
was inevitable under the circumstances.
The Examiner Is too old factor in the
history Of the State to be dispensed with
at this day, and the LIGHT hopes is now
fairly out of its streak of ill-luck.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Ronoionnlf,s Senson.

The enthusiastic reception and cordial
demonstrations Of delight and pleasure that
greeted the appearance Of the veteran author
and actor, Dion Boucicault, at the Grand
last night, were the Sitting testimonials in
honor Of a man who has done as much to
advance his profession and contribute to the
pleasure and instruction Of his generation as
any man alive. In beholding the
supple form, elastic step, fash
ing eyes aud cherry vOice Of
this most genial and versatile Of men last
night, it were almost impossible to realize
him as the author Of that splendid, shall we
say old comedy, of s'London Assurance, -
which was written by Mr.. Boueieault =hen
but eighteen years OF age, it being his maid
en- as well as his immortal production Later
on in his career, his genius asserted itself in
that master production, familiar the
world over, Trip Van Winkle,''. and
it were pleasant to hear him relate how the
play was .outed by his friend aud protege,
Joe jefferson, aud how he finally changed
the drama so as to make ZIP juvenile pari

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe !

New YORK, Oct. 2.-The changes in the
stock market to-day rather favored the
bears. Prices dropped. The feeling was
weak at the start, and so continued through
out the day. Transactions were light, and
many OF the usually prominent operators
were doing nothing to help matters. Some
free selling of New York Central occurred
during the morning hours, which
depressed the stock about
point, after which it rallied
a trifie. Northwestern lowered around 90,
and st. Paul touched rs several times. Can
ada Southern was the weakest feature among
the Vanderbilts, declining from 81 to 80.
The market continues puzzle, and brokers
are inclined to do but little in the way of
predicting. Delaware 81 Lackawanna de-
clned below 100, and then the clique bid it
up again. The final quotation is ex-dividend
| per cent The Union Pacific party seemed
content to hold it steady throughout the ses-
sion. 1t was the same with Missouri Pacific
and Telegraph. During the closing hour
! business was at complete stand
still. The changes were unimpor-
tant, and the day closed upon
about as dull and uninteresting stock mar
act as has been witnessed in a long time,
with the feeling quite weak. The new plan
for funding the Indebtedness of the Roches-
ter s. Pittshurg road contemplates the issue Of
s15,OOO,O 900 stock, $4,000, OOO preferred, and
| SO, 600, 600 common. One-half of the COM
mon is to be given to stockholders in the
proportion of thirty -five shares for 100 of the
present holdings. The balance of stock will
be offered AZ the rate of twenty-five shares of
common and twenty-five shares of preferred
| for 100 shares now held and the
payment of Is per cent. cash.
1t is claimed that, notwithstanding
the recent agreement rates east bound from
Chicago are being cut, and stocks are being
sold on this rumor. Willard is reported less
bearish. Gould still holds to the bull side.

THE BIGOTED GERMANS.

General Neal Dow is handy man TO have
in the Blaine family, whatever his useful
ness may be in any other quarter. His zeal
for prohibition is most charming. Before
the Maine election he went roaming over
tue state telling the people that Blaine was
an ardent Prohibitionist, and that the Re
publican candidate for President would vote
for the Prohibition amendment. The truly
good General was quite taken aback by
Blaine's lodging, and he felt called upon to
demand of the Artful Dodger an explanation
so that he might somewhat relieve himself
from the awkward fix ne was in. The fol-
lowing correspondence reveals the explsna-
ton General Dow received:
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept. II, 1sS4.-To the
Hon Neal Dow-Dear Sir: Please inform me as
to the triumph of the prohibitory amendment in
Maine, and what part the Republicans took in
the campaign, and why Mr.. Blaine didn't vote

valuable assistance. and he assured me he re
Trained from voting at the request OF prominent
Ohio Republicans on account OF the bigOted Ger
mans. Respectfully yours, NEAL Dow.
Here General Dow has gone and taken
ffty-fve million people into his confidence,
and tells them that Blaine did not vote FOR
the Prohibition constitutional amendment
because he wanted to fool the ''Bigoted Ger
mans" Tue eminent author Of the Maine
Law says, ''we achieved a glorious victory
for Prohibition, " and gIeefully tells his friend
that the Republicans stood shoulder to shout

Mr.. Blaine gave his valuable assistance,
but RETAINED from voting on account of tbs

makeup Of the villains horrid enough
to suit the most exacting gallery gods.
The wake scene was greatly relished as
usual, and the setting of the prison scene
calledforth great applause. Mr.. Boucicault
was bonored with calls before the curtain at
the end of each act. Mr.. Walton, as Capt.
Molineux, had commanding presence and
he enacted the roll well; he reminds one Of
the leading character in ''The Rajah." Mr..
De Boise made fair impression as Robert
and the roles of Cory and Harvey Duff
were splendidly taken by Mr.. Wilks and
Mr.. D. G. Boucicault. Mr.. Sutton made the
ideal priest and the character of Mrs.
O'Kelly by Mrs. L. E. Barker, could not
have been better. Miss Nina Boucicault ap-
peared as Moya; she is petite and graceful,
and made most favorable impression. The
Claire of Miss Leigh was very enjoyable,
this lady being quiet but forcible actress.
Miss Blanchard made very pretty and
sprightly Arte O'Neil. The same play to-
night.

WHAT CARL SCHURz SAYS.

When in Cincinnati recently Carl Schurz
was asked about the report in the Blaine
newspapers that he was receiving $3.50 a
night for speaking, In reply he said: ''The
facts are that l am not receiving one cent
from any source for my speeches in the con-
test, and that l am paying all my own travel
ing expenses. l am simply doing what l
consider my imperative duty-warning the
people against turning over the administra-
ton of the national government to self
convicted corrupt man. l cannot think they
will do it.''
He even said in addition: think the
Germans will be largely Influenced in their
votes by the question of the official integrity
of the candidates. The German people have
very fixed views in favor of honesty, and can
not be deceived by explanations or excuses.
II the election was held to-day, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Michigan would vote for Cleve-
land. Seventy per cent of the Illinois Ger
mans would vote for him. l think the de-
feat of Blaine public necessity. For that
reason l think every man who desires an
honest national administration should vote
for Newman for Secretary of State, as the Ohio
vote in October will be taken as a declara-
ration of the sentiment of the state on ma
tional issues by other sections Of the country.
II Newman should be elected in October it
would practically settle the contest, as
think Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan
would then cast their electoral votes against
Blaine.
Mr.. Shurz spoke to crowded audiences in
Cinninatiti, and is now speaking at different
points in Ohio. His audiences are only linn.
tied. by the capacity of the houses in which
he speaks.

Mentor treaty'' in regard to New York ap-
pqintments. In vain the managers of the
Blaine campaign are putting forth herculean
booming Blaine. They have recently called
on Mr.. Conkling, and of course, were treated
with courtesy. To their appeals for his as
sistance Mr.. -Conkling merely replied, as he
has heretofore done: II am out of politics,
and am devoting all my time to the demands
of my law Practice" The visitors were per-
tistent in their appeals, and went so far, It
is said, as to promise him the United States
Senatorship from the State of New York if
he would enter into the fight and aid in rally
ing the disguised and disgruntled stalwarts
by making few speeches for Blaine. Mr..
Conkling listened patiently, and his only re-
Spouse was the same-he was out of politics,
and law business was pressing. Then the
Blaine managers changed their base and
touched Mr.. Conkling in what they thought
was tender spot.
They knew how much he admired and re-
spected General Grant and on this name
they made their great stand. ''Come over to
our help" they said ''and we will pledge
Congress to place General Grant on the re-
tired list with full pay" Mr.. Conkling heard
them throuh patiently and courteously,
but made no promises and gave his
visitors no encouragement. "These agents
of Blaine and Elkins, says correspondent
repeated history" They took Mr.. Conkling
upon high mountain and tried to tempt him,
promising all the wealth in sight, only to be
told, by implication at least, that they were
promising what they did not possess, and
they were trying to give away other peoples
property.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-The Sitting Bull COM

They remain here until Saturday next, and

crowded, as well as in the afternoon. Maj.
Newson speaks three and four times per

that he has addressed not less than 10000
people. learn from a responsible source
tonight that there is a little breeze blowing
up which may eventuate in storm. Father
Stephan, Catholic, and former agent at
Standing Rock, procured some time ago per-
mission of Secretary Teller to take Sitting
Bull about the country, if he ~oold 90 wid
him. In the meantime Col. Allen stepped
in and got the same permission,
verbally, OF the secretary, and Sitting
Bull decided to 90 with the colonel
and out Of seventy applications this is the
oniy one he would accept Now that the
affair is financially success, Father Stephan
has written to Washington making complaint
of the want Of good faith on the part Of the
government, and charging that Col. Allen
had no right to the Indians whatever. Last
night little episode occurred not on the
programme. A large, brusque, positive man
very decidedly declared that the Indians had
no right to be In New York, and Col. Allen
had no right to exhibit them, and he nailed
his declaration with the remark that he was
connected with the department at Washing
ton and was there to investigate the matter.
Col. Allen was not present, but he will see
the officials to-day. In the meantime he is
cool and undisturbed and think well forti-
fed to sustain his position. This ''little
blow up'' may end in storm. Wait and
see.
