GREENvILLE, TENN, October 2S.-
This raw dsy 1900 people gathered to
hear Bob. The crowd was enthusias-
tic, 700 on horses in procession shout
ing for Bob ard Democracy. J. G..
Park, chairman OF the Executive
County C-mmittee, introduced Bob
today in very flsttering style. Bob,
though not so well as yesterday, made
most impressive speech, inspired by
the surroundings, stirring Democrats
to action and Republicans to reflec-
ton. BIB was anxious for Pettibone
to speak. with him, but he did not
speak. Why, | don't know. Bob's
references to Andrew Johnson, stand
ing here in the shadow of his tomb as
it were, were sublimely eloquent, and
thousands of tsariul eyes told how
deeply Andy is enshtinedin the hearts
of these people, and he touched the
responsive chords as with a msster
hand Many Republicans said to me
that Bob's arraigDment OF the party
was the strongest they had ever heard
since Johnson's death, and it had a
telling effect upon hundreds of them,
and the candidacy Of Gillen, made as
an Independent Republican for the
Senate, will effect his strength. Bob's
count after count, as urged in his bill
OF Indictment against che Republican
party, was emphasized with such force
today as none could resist, and many,
it is hoped and believed, will do as

EVERY Democ,at in Memphis should
be present tonight to greet James
Phelan, the unanimously nominated
candidate Of the party for Congress.
He returns to the city after a most
vigorous canvass extending over mauy
weeks, during which he addressed
large crowds at all the principal points
IN the district. Cheered by these he
comes back hopeful of triumph that
will again give the Tenth District to
the Democracy and secure another
vote in the House of Rspresen-
tatives in support of Cleve-
lands administration. During his
canvass the APPEAL has kept its read
ersl apprised Of Mr.. Phelau's pro-
gress, and has several times had occs-
sion to express itself gratifad at the
heartiness of his receptions by the
people and the enthusiasm he has
everywhere enkindled. At all points
he has shown himself to be well and
thoroughly equipped, and to be proof
especially against the assaults of his
opponent. The great questions of the
day he has not hesitated to discuss,
and in dignified and statesmaulike
terms, that prove how conscientious
had Deen the study to which
he subjected himself before he
offered as candidate for the peo-
pies suftrages. His speech tonight
will, we do not hesitate to predict, be |
worthy OF his ambition, and quite sat. |
lsfy the most anxious Of his friends.
He will touch upon every topic. es.
pecially the tariff, the finances and |
Federal aid to education, and will sat

Terrible Story of Suffering.

A St. John IN. F. special says: Herge-
natis Ter, one of the Esquimaux who arrived
here ON the Nancy Barrett, from 0kkak,
Labrador, says that the population Of tirat
settlement was nearly $50, yet when he left
with his wife not soul remained. Early in
March food gave out, and finally all game
disappeared. On June they had eaten
nothing for six days, and, goaded by hunger,
they devoured the corpses of several whales
and few Indians that had been killed by the
cold. When one of their oyp party died the
body was cut open, the entrails we're taken
out, and the remainder was frozen up for
use. From this food terrible dysentery setin
among the survivors, ald on July LIST there
we're but 16 persons left alive, the bodies of
over 25 having been eaten. The l9 survivors
started down the coast in sledge drawn by
four dogs-the only living creatures left them
their ponies having been sacrificed to APP
pease hunger long before. When about "a
miles from Cape Iugford heavy snow storm
set in. While the party were epdeayoring to
find their way they were attacked by white
bears to the number of 25 or 80, which killed
all of the party but two, the survivors being
among the number at Cape Mugford.

alton for every wrong inflicted.

The Ne,o York World is exposing the
jobbery going on in that city, which ap-
pears to be nearly as bad now as it was In
the days of Boss Tweed The Times ex-
posed it then, and the shameful peculation
ended only after number who had par
ticipated in it were locked up in the peni-
Tertiary. A similar fate, it is believed,
will overtake many of the rogues Of the
present day. 1t takes no less than $780,
100000 year to govern that city, and
these enormous figures are reached by a
system of especial private contracts for
almost every object under the municipal
government, such as repairing pavements,
renewing lamps, repairing "manholes,
buying steel picks, repairing plugs, clean
ing sewers. laying pipe, &c. One of these
favorite contractors foots up a bill OF
$40, 399.79. Another bill of S24, 050.-
Is, and yet another bill of s77, 1850.
An investigation is going on before the
Mayor, and the grand jury of the Criminal
Court is moving in the matter, even in
advance of the Mayors Investigations.
The revelations are expected to be Of a
startling and shameful character

The War Cloud.

Between Canada on the north and Mex
leo on the south, our government is ex-
periencing some slight interruption OF the
harmony of her foreign relations. A great
and powerful nation, such as this, conscious
of her strength and security against the
encroachments of either of her neighbors,
can afford to be forbearing and magnani-
nous, and to rely upon diplomacy and
peaceful methods for the final settlement
of all difficulties. This government does
not want war. 1t would be cruel to strike
a hostile blow at Mexico, who is so weak
and vulnerable upon her exposed frontier,
as to be utterly incapable Of self defence
against the Unconscious of our hostile armies.
Her citizens would play part little short
of madness to provoke us to hostilities.
Our northern neighbors, in Canada, sup
ported by the home government in Eng
land, would scarcely be in a better case.
England's power, if not on the wane, is
greatly disproportioned to that of other coun-
tries, compared with what it was century
ago. The condition of unrest in Europe,
the discomfort of ireland, the state of the
finances of the mother country, are so many
bonds of peace which England dare not
disregard. She cannot afford to engage in
war, at this time, if she can avoid it
without loss of honor, especially with this
government She would emerge from it
only with loss of prestige and all her
American possessions. Her steel-armored
cruisers might give us some trouble at the
outset, but we should soon find means to
sink them all, and sweep her commerce
from the face of the ocean by our fast fly
ing privateers Torpedo-boats and all other
warlike appliances would protect our har-
bors from their heaviest engines of war,
and to land hostile army upon our shores
and maintain it long enough to invest any
of our great cities would be utterl " impos
sible. The tremendous capabilities of this
people were fully shown during the late
internecine war; but, in a foreign war, a
war of invasion of our soil and of our
hearthstones by a foreign foe, we should
put forth such terrible energy as would
dwarf all previous military achievements
into mere holiday parade.
No, we want no war, and England,
"proud mistress of the seas, as was once
her boast, cannot afford to engage us in a
war. We can well be forbearing towards
both our neighbors, on the south and on
the north, aud prefer to exhaust all the
means and appliances of diplomacy rather
than break the entente cordidle with either.
The irritating seizure of our fishing boats
and their crews upon the New England
coast, and the shooting and Imprisonment
of our citizens on the Mexican frontier,
may well be left to the Department of State
for early adjustment and the fullest repa-
ration for every wrong inflicted.

Death of Mr.. Tilden.

In the death of Hon. Samuel j. Tilden,
which occurred rather unexpectedly on
Wednesday morning, the country has lost
one of its foremost statesmen and the DEM
ocratic party an able leader and counselor.
Mr.. Tilden had equals, but no superiors,
vet no man had the confidence of the party
to such an unbounded extent. His advice
was accepted without question, and he had
the power to arouse and thrill those of his
political faith to degree possessed by no
other leader.

Jeanette BOWS husband was soldier
in the late war and received a wound in
the knee. He died nineteen years after of
apople1y, and the widow applied for a
pension, reciting in her application that
death resulted from the wound. Congress
passed special bill for her relief, and on
Saturday last President Cleveland vetoed
it. In his veto message the President says

application for pension, would an attempt

A Democratic house of Representatives,
providing for Democratic Administration,
towards which it would be liberal enough
to make it effective, passed Deficiency
Appropriation bill appro2riating $780,
900. When the bill went to the Repub-
lican Senate nearly $1,000, 600 were added
to the bill. The House would not agree
to the increase, and the Senate adhered to
its position. A committee from the two
houses after long conference finally reach
ed an agreement, and the House members
induced the Senate to reduce the amount
by s930,OO0. This shows which party
regards the interest of the taxpayers.
