must have been 10000 men within his

why he was there as the friend Of the
worhngman, but the swaying Of the au-
dience annoyed him and he spoke up:
"ThOse men who are pushing you there
are most likely pickpockets."
"Hurrah for CleYelandf" shouted
man. There was no response.

A QUEER STORY OF ABDUCTION.
An Ironworker Entrapped on Swedish
Vessel and Taken to Hamburg.


Vessel and Taken to Hamburg.
Chief of Police Stewart, says the Phila-
delphia Press of Oct. 10, received a letter
yesterday from Joseph Wilkinson, chief
constable of Rockdale, England, request
ing that a trunk left by Timothy TanseY
at Kaufmann's saloon, 400 Morris street,
be forwarded to Rockdale. The cOmmu-
nication stated that Tansey came to this
city on June %, engaged board at Kauf-
maDn's and obtained employment in Nor
ris & Tasker's iron foundry. Slack work
threw him out of situation. One after
noon while strolling along the wharves
he was accosted by a man who In
quired if he was looking for work.
Tansey answered in the affirma-
tive and the stranger invited him to
iump into a boat. The couple lowed
to the swedish bark Selma, lying down
the Delaware river, and Tansey was put
aboard. He then discovered that he had
been entrapped. Thirty-ive days later he
arrived in Hamburg. He received FL as
his wages, the balance having been given
to the man who captured him. Tansey
soon became destitute aud applied to the
British Consul, who sent him to London,
and from thence his friends assisted him
to his home. The letter states that the
trunk contained clothing and 435, but
Special Officer Colborn, who took posses
sion of the effects yesterday, failed to ind
any money. There is a balance of S. 40
remaining to the credit of Tansey at
Morris & Tasker's foundry.

The use Of United States Deputy Mar
shals, Ostensibly TO preserve the peace at
the polls, but really to bulldoze and brow
beat Democratic voters, used TO be quite
common in the South. The playing Of
this game in Ohio VIII no doubt open the
eyes Of many Northern people to the un-
scrupulOus methods to which the Repub-
Iicans will resort in their desperation. 1t
is very likely that full use will be made Of
thousands Of deputies in the November
election, and the people Of every doubt

them. Attempts to perpetrate wholesale
frauds under cover Of force viii hardly be

The Secretary Of the Republican Ma
tionaI Committee raises a howl over the
rumor that the South Carolina Democrats
are buying certificates of registration
from the negroes. He says the merchants
are taking up the certificates in payment
for goods in different parts Of the State,
and that they receive the money for them
from the Democratic Campaign Commit
tee. The Republicans have been guilty Of
so much fraud in South Carolina that
they naturally suspect wrong-doing on
the part Of the Democrats, whether there
is any evidence Of it or not. II the latter
have taken up any of the registration pa
pers they probably did it out Of pure
charity for their cOlored friends.

a Chanoe for Reform.

There are frequent complaints that in
the vicinity Of this city there is a great
deal Of drunkenness and rowdyism on
Sundays. 1t is alleged that liquor can De
obtained in localities as easily on Sunda!
as on any other day in the week. Inc
negroes being idle on that day many OF
them congregate about the grogger1es ana
spend the day in drinking and carousing.
It not infrequently happens that Disturb
ances Of one kind and another occur, ana
that assaults Of a more or less serious
character are committed.
The whole trouble comes from selling
LIQUOR on Sundays. 1t is against the law
to sell whisky on Sundays, but the law
does not appear 10 be enforced strictly.
Indeed. il is doubtful if, in some localities
in the country. any effort at all is made TO
enforce it.
The evils that flow from its violation
are not confined to the negroes. TIE
entire neighbOrhOod in the vicinity Of a
grog shop suffers from its demoralizing
tendencies. The negroes quickly become
worthless as laborers. They are always,
almost, in a suffering condition because
they waste their money for liquor. A
large per cent. Of them bring up in the
Changing.
1t is probable that every S25 license that
is issued costs the county 500. This may
be regarded as an extreme statement, but
if it were possible 20 discover the exact
amount Of crime for which these grog
shops that keep open on Sunday are re-
sponslble. it would, Doubtless, be found
that the statement is short of rather than
beyond the truth.
The county authorities would act wisely
by refusing TO renew the licenses Of those
who sell liquor on Sunday, and BY prose
cutting those who either habitually or oc-
casionally violate the Sunday law.
