CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Political excitement
on the board of trade was at fever heat to-
day. A large share of the excitement was
occasioned by the formation of ''Board of
Trade Cleveland and Hendricks club.n At
the opening Of the session two committees,
composed Of young members of the board
who are ardent Democrats and possessed of
plenty of stamina, commenced an earnest
canvass for names, one committee operating
on the regular and the other on the open
board. From the start these committees met
with the most determined opposition on the
part of the Blaine faction. One or two papers
were destroyed and their circulators pretty
roughly handled. Messrs. II. S. Poole, f. j.
Kennett and E. F. Smith, the committee on
the regular board, however, demonstrated
the desperate state of earnestness in the mat
ter and before noon had secured 200 names
and the respect of their enemies. little
later telegram was received from Messrs.
W. Il. Quick, A. J. Maher and II. A. Hill
the open board committee, which read Ut
follows:
''We are as solid as a stone wall here. We
have nearly 200 names. Can't you do as well
Rum, Romanism and rebellion
To this the following answer was at once
wired:
'We have already abont twice as many as tn,
Young Republican club got here, and are still
signing. The tattooed man is downed.''
AT the close of the morning session fully CO.
names had been signed on both boards Anon,
the regular board Democrats whose names ar
on the list are George w. Champin. C. w
Bregee, John Cudahy. Nat Jones, c. T. Dwigh,

RuHl5 anu AAFhttiiNhs
New YORK Oct 30.-'RUM, ROMANISM
AND REBELLION'' has. made murky the
political atmosphere of New York. The allit-
erative DR.. Burchard, who, at the Blaine
ministers reception at the Fifth Avenue
hotel yesterday, could not forego the exquis-
ite pleasure of giving utterance TO a rythmic
sentence even though it pronounced the
doom Of the cause he expoused, has done an
irreparahle injury to the Republican party.
His remarkable assertion that the Democratic
party is the party Of RUM, ROMANISM AND
REBELLION has been spread broadcast all
over the land. 1t has carried con sternation
into the Republican ranks. Even the strong
est opponents of Gov. Cleveland are not
prepared TO swallow the dictum of the rev.
erend gentleman. 1t has cut like a two
edged sword, wounding friend and foe alike.
In this city it has aroused terrible storm of
opposition. The fierce cry of bigotry is raised
and win not be stilled. It is useless for the
Republican managers to attempt to repudi-
ate the utterance of DIR. Burchard by heap
ing opprobrium upon his head-calling him
an irresponsible political charlatan and other
choice epithets. Their impotent rage only
ENDS TO make matters worse.
THE COLD FACT
S pointed out that tho author of the offensive
sentence was present by special invitation of
Mr.. Blaine's managers, and as a representative
of a class his utterance voiced the sentiments
of the people he represented. The large
Irish vote of this city is antagonized beyond
redemption. Nothing now can turn the
tide of detection from the Republican candi-
date. Everywhere throughout the city to-day
people gathered in groups and Indignantly
discussed the impudent assertion of this
Chadband Of the ministry. "RUM, ROMAN
ISM AND REBELLION'' were terms heard
upon every street-corner. In the stores, on
the exchanges, and in clubhouse and sa.
looms the conversation turned upon the same
exhaustess theme. The dreadful anathems
was hurled like knell Of doom at the head
of Blaine himself as he rode through the
streets to attend the Brooklyn reception. To
night the Republican parade was forced t
march to
ITS HORRIBLE TRIPLE CADENCE
as thousands of indignant Irish American
citizens defiantly howled the offensive word
along the lines of sight-seers which filled tn,
streets: RUM, ROMANISM AND REBEL
LION is the ominous cry heard everywher
tonight, and it is fraught with disaster t.
Mr.. Blaine and his friends. The Republican
managers are thoroughly alarmed and ar
working heroically to stem the tide of defeat
but they are leading forlorn hope.
The preachers reception is now concede,
to have been the greatest mistake of tn
campaign, and the most coo-headed an
conservative men think it is too late to rec
tify the fatal error. New York and New Jer
sey are lost to the Republicans beyond al
hope of redemption.

NEW YORK, Oct 31.-Iruth gives a report OF
a recent conference in this city between Mr..

local ticket Of New York for electoral votes.
The statement purported TO come from a mem
Der Of the conference, who felt his manhood 10

trayal that he Indignantly left the ranks Of Mr..
Blaine's followers. The following is a summary
Of the statement:
On his arrival here Mr.. Blaine had a confer
ence with certain OF mis- trusted managers. A.
this conference the prospects OF carrying New
York for the Republican electoral ticket were
discussed. The result OF the discussion was an
admission all round that the state was
lost TO the cause unless IL could still
be saved by some unusual method.
IL was decided than in order TO obtain more votes
TO overcome the Cleveland vote here and through.
out the state the city Republican ticket should
be sacrificed. The proposition was not only
boldly assented 10 by Mr.. Blaine himself. but be
was the proposer. His words were:
"You admit our county ticket has scarcely q
chance of success. We are admittedly In peril.
Here is an avenue Of escape open TO Us. Let us
take IT,"
Some Of the gentlemen of the conference have
effected arrangement already. II Is understood
now that, in exchange for the votes Of the Re
publican electoral ticket, the ARepublican ma
chine will do its utmost to transfer thousands oi
its votes TO Grant for Mayor.

Two candidates for the 0aice Of president OF
the United States are now before the people.
The one is man who owes his position a. the
nominal candidate OF one OF the great political
parties TO the fact that he has been at all
times the consistent, able and earnest friend and
supporter OF the plunderers Of the public treas
ury. The other has made for himself a public
record OF thorough honesty, which even bis enc
mics do not question. or these candidates the
one is supported by an organized army OF pro-
fessional politicians, led by men who have grown
rich by dishonest practices. The
other IL supported by the solid opinion OF
men who believe that public Office Is a public
trust. We, therefore, call on all members OF
