BRADY GOES FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
man James d. Brady has written letter to
Senator Malone, which is published in the
Petersburg Mder.Appeal to-day. After
characterizing Malone as all actor plotting
to shift responsibility, Mr.. Brady says

associate, forward ct our late State conyen.

colleague in the Senate and the white re-.
publcans of the Southwest, ant. having
made him your representative in Dinwidde

white and colored republicans ofthe county,

record, is under your influence now made

the straig htforwardness or mnnliness to say
yourself. You would have this fellow, aud
you would try to make others ia defending
you to insult ne. This trick may be con-
sidered smart, but it is unbecoming an
United States Senator. 1t is not brave.
You can coach your friend Harris. Ireturn
to you measure for measure. ," Congress
man Brady then goes on to speak of how
Senator Malone decided in favor of
Hon. w. +. Gaines nomination as
the republican candidate for Con.
gress from the Fourth Congressional
district of Virginia, and then adds

advocate of the man he had himself so hit.

able to use Mr. Gaines has. doubtless in.

Tfie Situation In 6hicauO-

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Every: thing is quiet a,
the stock yards this morning. few of the
packing houses are opened and are running
in small way, but there has been no gen.
eral resumption of work. The yards are
filled with workmen, bat there has been no
recurrence ofthe disturbances of yesterday.
A few more men were taken TO work in the
various packing houses, this morning, and
the rain kept the unemployed crowds that
all day yesterday hung around, inside.
There was no excitement during the early
hours of the morning. The beef butchers
will accept the inevitable and will, it thought
return to work on the ten-hour basis. Hogs
are beginning to arrive, aud are in active
demand. Armour and Co. will commence
to kill right away, and by the last of the
week will need full force of men. Fow-
Ter Bros' and the Anglo-American Com.
pany's houses will be a day or two later,
but it is safe to say that by the first Of next
week the great majority of the men will
once more be at work.

in the strongest terms the acts perpetrated
by the moonlie hters, and called them the
greatest enemies Ireland had to day, and
said the outrsgss they committed served
but to perpetuate landlordism, which other.
wise he declared was doomed. He asked
the moonlighters to restore the arms and
other property they had stolen to the right
full owners. you can do this quietly"
continued the bishop; "you can make this
restitution through me, if you wish, or you
can make it through your parish priesta,
who will not betray your secrets"

would not be required to return to Turkey
