sion to tho popular will, and their pro.
lection from party corruption where
there should be devotion TO the peoples
interests,
These thoughts lend a conservation
to our cause and we go forth, not mere
ly TO gain a partizan advantage, but
pledged to give to those who trust us
the utmost benefits and honest admin
istration of national affairs. No higher
purpose or motive can stimulate us to
supreme effort or urge us to oontlnu-
GUS and earnest labor and effective
party organization. Let us not fail iu
this and we may confidently hope to
reap the full reward of patriotic SER
vices well performed. have thus
called to mind some simple truths, and
trite though they are, it seems to me
we do well TO dwell upon them at this
time. shall soon, hope, signify in
the usual formal manner, my no oept-
ance Of the nomination which has been
rendered to me. In the meantime |
gladly greet you all as co-workers in a
noble cause.
The Governor spoke extemporaneous
ly, and not without evidence of deep
earnestness and feeling. He seemed
torealize the weight of responsibility
which rested upon his shoulders as
the standard bearer of the party. The
address was not only model one in
thought, but was delivered with rare
grace and effect.
The congratulations that were show
cred upon him by the many distin-
guished leaders of the patty at the close
of the ceremonies were sincere and
hearty. After some time spent in social
interchange, the doors of the dinin e
room were swung open and refresh-
ments partaken of.
The ladies present were the Governors
sisters Mrs. w. E, HOyt and Miss II. Il.
Cleveland, the Misses Mary and Carrie
Hastings, daughters of the Governors
sister, who is missionary at Ceylon,
where they were born, being now in
this country to be educated; Mrs. Farms

the DIngloy shippinE Bill

The Dingley Shipping bill, passed at
the last session of Congress, though in
the interests Of humanity as well as in
the interests of restoring the American
shipping trade, is causing some embar-
rassment, as it changes the old plan of
shipping sailors by prohibiting the issue
to seamen of advanced notes, or the
payment of any part of their prospec-
tive wages in advance. This plan, it
seems, is working so deleteriously to
shipping interests that there is report
that the authorities at Washington are
about to devise and legitimate some
plan by which the provisions of the law
may be evaded.
It seems that poor Jack " hereto
fore has been subject to becoming the
victim of the sailor boarding house land
shark, while waiting to be taken on
board merchant marine vessels, and in
order that Jack should be on hand
when needed, shipping masters had to
advance him wages not yet earned, with
which to pay his board on shore. The
Dingley bill changes this system, which
will be readily seen to be very demoral-
fNihBt W q ohoh oJ otchi' ~ Wht pApbthr
bly, be hard TO show an ignorant, hard
headed sailor boarding-house keeper
why as permanent thing 1t should be
necessary to pay a sailor his wages be-
fore he has done his work, simply that
these land sharks, who have been rob
bing him, may be paid. Why should
the sailor in this respect be placed on a
different footing from that of any other
man Because he has run himself into
debt under an old and demoralizing
system is no reason why that system
should be indefinitely perpetuated. On
the contrary, we are inclined TO be-
lieve that the fact that hitherto he has
always been in debt is the best kind of
in support of the new law be-
cause it is n law that elevates the dig
nifty and character of the sailor. If
the authorities cannot get efficient sea-

LONDON, July 29.-Ata a meeting ui
the Welsh congregational Union Mr..
Minally, in behalf of hundred thou.
sand adherents, said they unanimous.
ly denounced the action of the House
Of Lords on the Franchise bill. The
agitation on this subject is becoming
more intensified. Meetings of Conserva-
tives and Liberals are being held daily.
Both parties are using their utmost
efforts in behalf of their cause.
. The Edinburgh Conservative Union
has written to the Marquis OF Salisbury
endorsing his action. He replied that
he is anxious TO submit his conduct to
the polling booths, hut the proposal
fills the Government with alarm. Sir
Stafford Northcote writes that he must
compel The Government 10 give some
guarantee regarding the question of the
redistribution of parliamentary seats
The annual meeting OF the United
Free Methodist churches was hold at
New Castle today. The President of
the Union, referring to the political
situation, said the House OF Lords
throughout had insulted and opposed
the Non. .Conformists and hindered to
its utmost their well being. But n day
of reckoning was coming and the Nom
COnfOrmists would take care to use it.

Vice President by the British free-trade
papers, and they have heard the abuse
heaped upon the Republican candidates
by the same papers. Seeing aud know
ing all this, 1t is not surprising that
there is a general movement all over
the country amongst Irish-American
workingmen, and all nationallties TO
support Blaine and Logan, not because
they are Republicans specially. but be-
cause they represent more fully the true
American character and are in full
sympathy with protection to American
industries and American labor.
For long time past the RRPUBLT-
CAN has kept telling Irish-American
laborers that they were making great
mistake by supporting almost in body
the Democratic party. 1t kept telling
them that all that party wanted with
them was their votes. 1t told them
shat they were only permitted to hold
and possess a few minor offices not
higher than the City Council, in con-
sideration Of making up about two
thirds OF the vote Of the Democratic
party. 1t kept telling them that the
Republican party that struck the
shackles Of slavery from the limbs of
four millions of human beings and
made men Of them, was the true friend
Of labor.
To all our entreaties and arguments,
the Democratic plea, "Stick TO your
party" was more potent, and for years
these mistaken Irish-Americans have
been voting against their own interests.
But there ia break at last. We knew
It would have TO come. We knew that
1t was only question Of time when
these people would get their eyes
opened. We knew that the Democratic
party, prssuming that 1t had the Irish
vote anyhow, would disclose its real
purposes some time.
We have not been disappointed. The
party has shown itself in true colors at
Chicago by nominating monopolist
and opponent of labor, and free-trade
advocate for President The break has
come at last. The Democrats stand
unveiled In their true principles, but
they have lost the solid Irish-Amer-
can vote. 0

Mr.. Hutterworth added "The re.
ports OF lhe opposition of the Germans
TO Blaine are all nonsense. All the
German newspapers. except the Volkes-
treund, which is a Democratic paper,

In answdr to question as TO whether
the recent Wholesale prosecutions OF "a
loon keepets In Ohio, urder the Scott
liquor law{ would affect either party in
the coming campaign, Mr.. Butterworth
said III will not injure the Republican
party in the least. The Democrats had
made all sprts of promises to the Ger
mans, butithey have besn afraid TO
come out boldly and take q manly
stand on the subject. They have dodged
and evaaed direct action on the liuTlor
