Governor-Eiecs Foraker in New York.

JAMESTOWN. N. Y, Oct. 2L-JudgeJ j. B. For
aker Governor elect of Ohio spoke for over two
hours in Aliens Opera house, this afternoon. to
an audience filling every part of the auditorium
and stage. He said that the achievements of
the Republican party met with universal appro-
baton now. and asserted that had there been
free ballot and an honest count in the South, it
would still be in power He defended the
bloody shirt policy. He said this policy did not
operate to revive memories Of the war; but it
was neeessitated by occurrences since the con-
f1ict, and he contrasted it with Fitzhugh Lees
campaign in Virginia 1.-THE Democrats" he
continued, promised to look over the books

political thieves and miscreants. It's annual dis
play OF dirty work on election days has disguised
the whole country, and has so corrupted society
in that city that decently-inciined people do not
feel safe in walking its streets any night in the
year To this result tie Commercial Gazette
and Enquirer have contributed more than all
other influences combined. There is not another
city in the civilized world that would tolerate
the existence of two such purveyors of filth and
blackguardism. Neither of them is fit to be
read by deeent-minded people. and the wonder is
that they receive sufficient patronage to keep
them alive In the campaign which has just
closed, the calm discussion of political questions
has not occurred to either of them, but both
have reveled in the license Of epithet and vul-
garity.

In the State of Ohio Democrat lay,
CRYING, Biilow, big biliow. big 5illow!"
And he saddened the whole of the October day,
With his "Bllow, big bllow big billow!'
Oh. his cursing was tall and his face it was long
he had suddenly found all his reckonings wrong,
And this was about the amount of his song:
"Oh, billow, big billow, big billow!"
He lay on the hillside all battered and torn,
Moaning, ''Billow, big bow. big billow!''
From his pedestal Pride he'd been hustled and born
BY billow, a busting big bllow.
He had laughed at the as he it move on,
And had boasted aloud of his Doodle and Drawn;
But to-day all his vocaEzation is gone
