Last Thursday night numerous au-
ditory gathered at Galic's Hall to hear
Hon. {. w. Jones, and were pleased and
instructed by the eloquence and wisdom
of the Senator's address The experience
OF nine years in the Senate of the United
States, where he has won his way to a
place in its front rank, has ripened the
learned jurist and profound student Of
politics into statesman whose views
command the attention of all, and the APP
proval Of those eminent men of the coun-
try who belong to the democratic ma
jority. Consequently he has been put
forward by the managers of this cam
paign as a conspicuous figure in great
meetings, where he has added to his long
time reputation as an orator Coming
lltical agitation in which he has partici
pated it was, therefore, pleasant to his au-
ditOrs to find that he was in full accord
with them on the aspects of the situation
in both national and State affairs, and to
have their opinions confirmed as to the
unanimity of feeling which now animates
the Democracy of the whole country.
The telling points Of argument, stirring
words and we'll turned periods Of the
speaker elected frequent applause from
the auditory, which we believe would
have gladly gone the next night to hear
the same speech repeated.

-Cleveland's reception at his old home,
Buffalo, on Thursday, was a dcmonstra-
ton to be proud of. 1t was real ova-
ton, and full of sincere respect for a dis
tinguished town>nan. a telling feature
was the address presented by a commit
tee of thirty Of the lalug Republican
business men of the city, in which they
say, we prefer an honest Democrat to
dishonest Republican," something that
has not been noticed i'll the hippodrome
journey Of James g. Blaine through the
West.
. The more business men look at that
Hooking Valley performance of Blaine's
the madden it makes them. The New
York papers contain numerous communi-
cations, commenting on the fact that
Blaine acted the stoolpigeon to draw
other parties into the investment, with
out risking a dollar himself. Here was
an enterprise in which he calculated to be
a dead-head, if it was not . success, and
and hold ticket il. there were any divi-
dends. If it failed, he was going to be
dead-head if it succeeded, he was going

DO Pope's supporters call themselves
Independents now? Does he call him
self an Independent "?-as he comes
out of Bisbee's committee room with the
very scent of Radicalism yet in his cloth
ing, and probably some Radical money
in his breeches' pocket, the price of his
renegade service in his attempt to betray
his State into the hands of the Radical
enemies OF its welfare. His ready mouth
says he is a democrat," an independ-
ent democrat" but we have learned that
that mouth can say anything and there
fore can prove nothing. He just turns it
loose and it pours forth foul stream of
calumnious assertions which he and anv
intelligent hearers, no matter what their
politics., know to be assertions merely,
crat who abuses and misrepresents the
wisest ard most beneficent acts of demo-
cratic administration to gain the approval
of the ignorant aud prejudiced What is
he but radical of the deepest dye-a
mischievous, malignant plotter and dis
tnrber of the public peace?

Canada. with a frontier adjoining ours
for several thousand miles, across which
10y land and lake there is vast exchange

by our tariff Legislation than any other
country in the world. Sir John A. Mac

dian Premier, was interviewed in this
city yesterday about the Presidential
election, and said: 81 do not apprehend
that Canadian interests will suffer which,
ever party may be successful" That is

the pretence of Mr.. Blaine and nis asso-
ciates that the main issue in the election
is not honest administration generally.

A New York Republican ElectOr
Resigns.

From the New York World, Oct :.
Dr. w. f. Forrest. one of the Electors
on the Republican ticket for this State
has resigned from his position because he
cannot conscientiously support James &.
Blaine. Like thunderbolt from a clear
sky came the following letter, addressed
to Mr.. John ID. Warren, the Chairman
of the Republican State Committee
SIR wish to tender my resignation as
Republican Elcctor for this State am sorry to
say that cannot cOnsc,entiSusly support the pre-
ent nominee for President James G. Blaine
remain yours respectfully
w. F. FORREST"
Since the receipt Of this letter few
days ago the members of the State and
National Republican Committees have
been at their wits ends what to do about
it. They have carefully hushed up he
matter and have brought every influence
TO bear on DR.. Forrest to induce him to
withdraw his resignation. But the Doc
tor has stood firm to his convictions and
neither threat Of punishment nor promise
Of reward could induce him to promise to
vote for candidate against the dictates
Of his conscience.

WASHINGTON May l9.-Representative
Cassidy of Nevada, to-daysaid thh visit Of
the Cacife coast delegation to Tilden some
weeks since has given rise to many errorn-
eous impressions throughout the country.
This has resulted he said, from the fact
that all sorts of alleged interviews were
published broadcast which never took place
at ali with any member delegation" Con-
tinuing, Cassidy said: The visit 10 Gra-
mercy Park was purely social and
originated in this way: Representative
SpriggS of Utica dstrict, New York, is an
old and intimate friend of Governor Tilden.
Judge Spriggs being about to go to New
I lork invited me To accompany him and to-
gether pay our respects to the distinguished
statesman. Later the party was enlarged
to include portion of the delegation from
California. As the visit was yurely socia
and wholly non-political, sense Of pro
priety demanded that the delegation should
refrain from rushing into print but the OBJ
ject of the visit having been misnterpreted
and widely misrepresented, ] feel it
is but simply just to disclose
All that Took Place,
: Governor TIlden received the party with
great cordiality and the Interview lasted
for nearly one hour, While it is true that
one of his arms is affected, his general health
is remarkably good, not to say robust. The
Governor threw back tho heavy folding doors
in the presence of his visitors and moved
about with as much activity as a man of
forty. His mind is as strong and clear as
ever before in his life AS to his ability to
stand the fatigue and excitement of the
campaign | think his chances in that
direction would be- aS good MS those of any
other man OF equal aye The only reference
made to politics was when member Of the
delegation addressing TiIden said Gov
ernor We are all YOUR friends. We are all
Tilden men, aS are all Democrats on the
Pacific coast
In reply the Governor said: am not a
Tilden man which was costrued by
some of the visitors as a declaration that he
would not be candidate for the Presiden-
cv For my own part left Tilden in the
firm conviction, Judging from all surround
ings, that he will gladly accept the nomna-
ton if rendered him BY the Chicago Con-
vention. ] may be mistaken about it, but

LEIPsIc, May l9.-The trial of Captain
Heutsch and NJ Kraszewski, for treason,
was concluded to-day. The accused were
found guilty and Captain Heutsch was SEN
fenced to nine years Imprisonment in 'he
House of Correction, while NJ. Kraszenssi
on account ofhis extreme age, 76 years, was
ordered to be interned in fortress for the
term of three years and six months. The
trial which has lasted several days, was
a secret one, and very little Of the testimony,
except that which was favorable TO the
Government, was allowed TO reach the pub
lie. The friends of NJ Kraszewski denounce
the determined efforts of Prince Bismarck
during the trial to convict the Polish author
in unmeasured terms, and say his actions
were inspired by desire for the intense bit
terness shown in many of the author works
towards Germany, and especially toward
Prussia, The convicted'men were accused
of heraying military secrets so the French
and other nations.

Maine, naturally, there is no weakening Of
the Blaine strength, and in Vermont Ed
munds is stin the prime favorite, but in
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire the
feeling is gaining ground that the struggle
is to be between Blaine and Arthur. In
that event there is no doubt of the course
that will be pursued. Indeed, one
of the Massachusetts, delegation said
to-day that a majority of the votes
from this State will be cast Oh the first bal
lot for Arthur. and that on the second he
will probably get them all. There is no
dissatisfaction with anything that Judge
EdmundS has done or omitted, but his nom
ination appears to be impossible. In the
event ola dark horse, Gresham is being
talked up, since his visit last week gave him
a personal acquaintance with Boston people.
The Transcript, strong Edmunds paper
has openly swung around to Arthur within
a few DAYS, and to-day the Massachusetts,
club, a political organization including
many prominent Republicans, pronounced
for the Presidents denomination. Any
thing to beat BLAINE" is the cry all over in
New England except in Maine.

CHICAGO MAY l0.-The Wool Growers
National Association met in session here to-
day. The Committee on permanent organ
izatiOn reported Columbus Delano, Of Ohio,
for President Delsno on taking the chair
sketched the Importance of the wool indus
;rv of the United States, and the necessity
of united action for the protection Of hat
interest He urged the necessity OF con
stant work until the restoration Of the tariff
was secured The committee on reSou-
tiOnS reported yoluminOus platform in
which is rccitcd the history OF the wool
business of the United States and It's b'nc-
fits to the country. The most important
plank is the fourth:
Fourth-That the act Of lSS3, reducing
duties on forei En wools, has seriously injur-
ed and if continued will in thc future dimin-
iShcd if it does not substantially destroy the
production of wool and sheep in the United
States and this assertion We sustain by
these facts.
Resolved, W" will organize as wool grow
crs and sheep breeders, and co-operte by
means of our National Association Ia be
aided bv State and country associations, and
in this way and hv all other legitimate meth
Od> will do all III our power to rrsterc the wool
tariff of 81. or lis equivalent, ON wool and
woolcnS, and cause io bc repealed the unjust,
unwisc, and unequal legislation of 's5, IT,
garding duties on wool and wuolens.
Resolved thar in doiug this We will witt
out reference to former political affiliations

ever we find them, and at the polls will su,

izaiion> ~ are in favor OF protecting, en-
couragug mnd sustaining sheep husbaa 'ry
in these United States ~ restoring the wool
tariff of 1867, or its equivalent.
Other Resolutions.
The balance of the platform is taken up
in asserting that the wool growers are in
..avor of protecting all American industries
encouraging workingmen, repudrHting til
docttine of Free Trade. and declaring tina:
imported wool is undervalued, causing
loss to the Government and fnyCing down
the price of home products. On motion
the following words we're added - the sec
ond resolution:
"And that we will not support any party
or any ponr.csl candidate until it or h" has
clearly defined It's or his position in favor
