Well Known Banker Of Cleveland ATTEMPTS

y Murder.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1.-THE city was
startled ut late hour this afternoon by
the report thaton Monday evening Horace
?. Weddell, the well known banker, So
long connected with the firm OF Everett &
Wediell. whose failure last June created
such sensation, had attempted to shoot
SylvesterT. Ever.tt, OF the Union National
Bank, and nephew OF his late partner
The affair had been successfully hushcll
for about twenty.four hours. 1t appears
that the bank failure, whereby he lost
three.fourths Of his fortune OF four million
dollars, coupled with domestic tliiIisulties,
have affected Weddell's mind. For the
last two or three days he had been more
than usually nervous and irritable.
On Monday evening, while at dinner he
had heated discussion with his son, who
with his sister had recently come home
IRON abroad. Going upstairs, he soon
returned with a pistol, and threatened to
shoot his son and daughter. They Quie.cd
him, however, but lie soon left home in a
carriage. He visited his attorney, and
talked about business matters. His son
followed him, and entered the carriage
with him. The two drove 10 S. r. Ever.

young man, at his fathers request, called

When Mr.. Everett approached, Mr..

to one side, and the insane man prevented
from doing any harm,

THE DEMOCRATIC uotysE
Tends to Make the Report of thc Treasury
,5.aa- tktes Interesting. ..,. - d

. " .# a
WASHINGTON, Now l..-The election
once more Of Denlocntic House OF Re.
presenta.ives tends 10 make the ior,hcoln.
ing annual report Of the Treasury elocu.
mcnt Of more than ordinary interest, and
1t is eagerly awaited by Republicans.
While admitting that Irregularities in the
present tariff must be corrected, and the
total amount OF revenues largely reduced,
they believe that the party must stand
trm as q rockby tho principle of protec.
ton. Because OF the views expressed by
Secretary McCuiloeh in the past, which
nave been more in accord with the posi-
ton taken by the Democratic party in the
lati campaign than with that taken
by the Republicans, his probable
recommendations i'll the annual repor,
now IN course Of preparation will cam
mand more attention than is usually given
to the uttennccs OF the head OF the Treas
Iry: While nothing authoritative can nc
said in regard TO the position OF the Presi
dent this year and his probable recon-
mentatlon to Congress, there is no reason
Tor believing that he will do otherwise
ttlan repeat those made in his message n
year ago. 1t is vel. known to tile,
personal friends OF the late Secretary
tolger that his views in regard to modi-
lying the tariff and revenue laws were not
entirely in accord with those Of presiden,
arthur, and that he vas obliged to modify
his annual report before sending it to
Congress, SO as to bring it more in accord
with the views OF the President, as ex.
pressed in his message. Judge Fo!cer
did this very reluctantly, and com
planned to his intimate friends
that to avoid every seeming CON
tlict with tho President he had
omitted altogether irom his report lis
most essential features. In this case the
President did not in his message adopt The
views and recommendations made by
Judge Fo!ger's report, but adhered tu his
own conviction and requested Judg. Fol-
ger to change his report, which was done,
and the report Of the Secretary so sent to
Congress was essentially ditieren, from
the first copy submitted to the President.
Unless President Arthur has changed his
views, which is altogether improbable, he
is less in accord with Secretary NlcCul-
loch than he wis with the late Judge
Fo!ger on the question OF the tariff
and the legislation needed at this time,
and the question now being discus ,ed is
whether he will allow 3IcCulloch TO pre.
sent in his report views essentially differ
ent from his own. So far as can be ascer-
tained the Secretary favors IN extensive
revision OF the tariff laws, and goes much
farther in this respect than the Republi.
can leaders. 1t is not doubted that the
Republicans will recognize the necessity
OF doing something ct the approaching
session OF Congress towards cutting down
taxation, but whether this will partake Of
i revision OF the tariff and repeal OF the
internal! revenue laws, is now only mat
ter OF conjecture
