Hon. Carl Schurz arrived in this city
: on Yesterday afternoon, direct from
Greenwich, Conn, and was given a
complimentary dinner by number OF
his German friends at the st. Charles
ltotel. The party was informal and
Included a number Of gentlemen of all
parties, while hundreds of citizens
called in the course of the day to pay
their respects, to the distinguished visi-
tor. ST..
In the evening hC addressed an audi
ence Of fully 10000 people aC Schlitz
Park, one of the most delightful sum
mer gardens in the West. Mr.. Her.
man Sigel, editor Of tho Freie Presse,
the German Republican paper which
bolted Blaine the day after he was
nominated, was president Of the meet
ing. Mr.. Schurz's appearance on the
stage was the signal for applause that
lasted ten or fifteen minutes. AS soon
as quiet was restored be briefly stated
the circumstances that caused him to
visit the city. Then he stated at some
length his exact position in the present
canvass and his objections to Mr..
Blaine. He reiterated many of the
telling points which he made in his
Brooklyn speech and every point he
made was responded to by the hearth
est applause. At the conclusion of his
address Mr.. Schurz was warmly con-
graduated. His speech was frequently
interrupted by applause and its effect
on the audience was most magical. At
late hour the large gathering dis
pcrsed. The meeting was altogether
one of the finest ever held in the city.
This afternoon Mr.. Schurz will leave
for La Crosse, in which he will speak
tomorrow evening. He will return
to Milwaukee early on Tuesday and
on the same evening will deliver an
address at the West Side Turner Hall,
In English, under the auspices of the
English Independent Republicans.
This meeting will be presided over by
John T. MGGregor, one of the most
prominent Republicans in Wisconsin,
who recently bolted Mr.. Blaine and is
now working like q beaver for Mr..
The number of Independents in Mil
waukee alone is variously estimated at
from 5000 to 5000. This class COM
priscs local Republican "kickers."
They must be considered entirely apart
from those who have been driven in
the Democratic ranks body and
breeches. John p. McGregor said to-
5daythat it was hard to give an csti-
mate of the strength Of the Independ-
.ents. There were many who had
secretly resolved to support Cleveland
who would not avow their intention
openly. Another leading Independent,
OF German extraction, said that 5000
would not be too high all estimate to
place on the Independent votes Of Mil
wankec. There are very few of this
number who will not vote the Repub-
1ican State ticket, but they will scratch
Blaine for Cleveland. 1t was ANNOUNCE
cd at the meeting tonight that Judge
Cole, of the Supreme Court, and Judge
Stewart, a prominent Republican, had
just announced their intention of
boiling and voting for Cleveland and
Hendricks.
Tho Situation In Michigan.
CHICAGO, September 1O.-The situa-
tion in Michigan is very interesting,
both from State and q national point
of view. There is every probability
that twelve of the thirteen electoral
votes of Michigan will be lost to Mr..
Blaine, and that the State election will
go against the Republicans. In their
recent State conventions the Demo-
cratic and Greenback parties formed
very harmonious union, and placed in
the field an electoral and State ticket.
The union upon the electoral ticket is
unique. 1t is supposed to be after the
plan suggested by General Butler; but
his letter suggests no definite plan,
and it is in truth original with Michi-
gan.

United States Senator Plumb, of Kan
sas, has come to Ohio to take part in the
campaign, and was to-day registered
at the Gibson House, in this city. In
an interview he said: ''Thcre is much
depending on the result of the October
election in Ohio. | fear that there is
too much confidence. Od-timc Re-
publicans say that the State has always
been Republican in Presidential years,
tae''hid can never be otherwise. Content
ing themselves with this feeling they
do not organize. Many of these Re-
publicans ake like Indians; they like
to hold council, and do heap talkcc'
but forget to org8nizc. / am not con-
fident about this State, but 1 am not
alarmed"
"But the news fr9 I'm Maine is cheer
ing"
eyes, but 1 am af raid that it will do
harm by creating = lore confidence; it
may encourage, br it may encourage
the wrong way. Ses, the Maine ma
jority was fully r8 to expectations;
Republicans iigureN Non about 10000"
= "How is the SITUATION in your own
State"
ooh, we had Sme little prohibition
trouble there ofce, but it was within
tight rig now a" RI's give Blaine Mf arc 5o,ooo 90

= "How abolt Iowa?"
- "She will n6t do as we'll as in 1880.
because of the local prohibition trou-
bles."
