Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Lord Sack
vile was seated in his office tonight
when representative of the United
Press called to ask him if he had seen
Mr.. Bayard's statement. His lordship
had been busy with some official
correspondence, but he brushed that
aside as matter of small moment, and
read with much deliberation and
very apparent unconcern the secretary's
statement. When he had concluded
the perusal he looked up at the reporter
as though he expected question.
"What have you to say about it?'' was
the reporters query. Nothing; [
don't care to criticise it. The letter
sent me from California was undonbt-
edly written for the purpose of entrap-
ping me. In few days | expect to be-
in position to make public the manner
in which the affair was planned and
the identity of the persons concerned
in it. The efforts which are being di-
rected to the
DISCOVERY OF THE TRICKSTERS
were instigated by me, and | think I
shall succeed in making everything
plain" ''At your interview with Sec
retary Bayard this morning did you
discuss this matter?" asked the repor-
ter. "Oh! yes" replied Lord Sack
vile; NATURALLY enough we alluded to
the matter. but not at any length.''
'tDid Secretary Bayard intimate to you
this morning the publication of his
views as an official?" II do not
KNOW" said the diplomat, "that
he had made public any official
utterances; but" he continued, with
Suggestive emphasis. II understand
that this published statement which you
proval of others as prominent pOliti-
state" This was understood to mean
that the president had sanctioned the
secretary's action. "This matter has
ANNOYED me-" said the minister, 'but
only to trifling extent. l have moth
ing to be sorry for, however, except
THAT WAS TRAPPED.
This affair reveals to me new phase
in the ways of the American politician;
ways that, in this instance, are dis
tasteful to me. In the other American
ways L delight, but l would like to be
excused from having to do with politics
in the United States" 1t was matter
of common report tonight that the
official statement made by Secretary
Bayard was the result of the
meeting of the cabinet. There were
present at this meeting, Secretary Bay
ard. Secretary EndicOtt, Secretary Villas
and Attorney General Garland. The
conference was extended, and at it's
conclusion, it was said Mr.. Bayard went
over to the state department with the
official interview, sanctioned by the
president, in his hand.

ILLINOIS FOR PALMER,
And the Electoral Vote of the
State Nav Go to Cleveland.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The great battle
in Illinois is almost over. The three
parties are giving the finishing touches
TO their campaign. and in less than two
weeks the country will know the result.
A review of the situation can not well
be made without referring to the figures
in past elections. The facts contained
in them are of great interest, bearing
as they do upon political situation,
which has been full of Kaleidoscope
changes. The change in the total vote
has constantly drifted since 1880 infavOr
of the Democrats. While the number
of ballots cast in 1884 for preSiden-
tial candidates exceeded, those cast for
electoral tickets in 1889 by 50,537 the
Democrats gained 35,2G3 votes and the
Republicans but 1854 Summing up
the situation and allowing all claims to
be true. the Democrats have the best OF
it. The Prohibition gains certainly
come from Republican sources. They
gained 1000 votes from 1884 to 1886,
while the old parties fell off in theirs.
If this ratio of increase keeps up their
vote will be very large. That the labor
men are for Palmer is a fact that no one
denies. Ninety-five per cent of the rail
road men are also with him. 1t looks
very much as if the Democrats would
gain at least 5 per cent on their total
vote and stand fighting chance of car
rying the state for Cleveland, besides
electing Palmer by a round majority.
The total vote will reach 100000.

UNDER MOB RULE.
His IncOmpetency and Charges
the Reign of Terror to Glad

stone.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Oct. 25.-I saw last night
the proofs of Gen. Sir Charles War
ren's article on the London police.
which will appear in magazine here
Oh Saturday. 1t is intended as a de-
fenSe of his incompetency and of his
failure to catch the Whitechapel mur-
Gerer. Gen. Warren insinuateS that
London is practically under mob rule,
and that Mr.. Gladstone encouraged it.
These are his words: 1T is to be de-
plored that the successive governments
have not had the courage to make a
stand against the more noisy section. and
have given way before the tumultuouS
proceedings which have exercised ter
roriSm over peaceful and law-abiding
citizen, and it is still more to be regret
ted that certain eX-cabinet ministers,
while in opposition, have not hesitated
to embarrass those in power by smiling
OH the insurgent mob. There can be
very little doubt that the outcry against
the police as military force, instigated
for political or sinister purposes, is due
to the Englishman who poses as the
censor of public bodies, and who pos
sesSes as rule but one idea at a time.
This refers uneQuivOcally to Mr.. Glad
stone, and will create great Indignation
among his followers when the article is
made public. The article generally
is weakening on Gen, War
ren's part, and he now even asserts
that the police force might be reduced
if all London would resolve itself into a
vigilance committee. Yet it stands as
a matter of record that the White
chapel vigilance committee has re-
ceived almost no recognition from Gen.
Warren. Sir Charles also accuses the
reporters. who have done more TO solve
the mystery of the crime than any one
else, with hampering his work.
Sir Charles Warren makes cOmpari-
SONS of London with the French and
continental police, but utterly ignores
Supt. Murray's splendid force, as he is
very sore about the New York criticisms
on him, which have been reprinted

A DOMESTIC ROMANCE.
The Two Marriages of DIR. o. w.
Wight Made Known After His
nanrh

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 25.-The an
nOuncement that the late DR.. O. ".
Wight had been twice married that ap-
peared in the long obituary notices
given of him in the newspapers here
was a surprise to all his acquaintaL ces
in this city. 1t was supposed by them
that he had never married, and his death
brings to light singular and in some
respects almost romantic state of facts.
1t seems that when he was young man
some friends introduced him to Miss
Sarah WhitmOre, and he became en-
gagged to her after short cOurtship.
Her only relative was her mother, who
died suddenly and left the daughter
unprovided for. This hastened the
marriage, and after the wedding
the young bridegroom found that
his bride was an insane eDileptic
of the worst type. She had lucid
intervals. and during the cOurtship
her friends were careful to let him see
her only at such times. lie subsequently,
removed to Indiana, where he procured
a divorce. The matter was proceeded
with according to law. and in her lucid
intervals the wife consented to have the
decree of marriage set aside. At the
husbands instance a guardian was ap-
pointed to look after her interests, and
in course of time the court is granted an
absolute divorce.
Dr. Wight then married Miss Catha-
rine Chamberlain, and here comes in
the remarkable part of this strange
domestic history. He and his second
wife adopted the first. who was taken
into their house on the footing of a
daughter. She required every care and
attention and she had it from both. The
second wife died while they were living
in OcOnOmOWOc, Wis, and he was then
obliged TO find a place of refuge other
than his own home for his first wife. He
placed her under the charge of Sisters
of Charity in retreat in Wisconsin.
and she is there at this time. He had
never failed to provide for her up to the
day of his death, even though at times
in straitened circumstances himself.
The Catholic church refuses to recOg-
niZe absolute divorce, and in the inSti-
tuition where the invalid is cared for,
she has always been Known as
! DR.. Wight's wife. The circumstances
| created a great scandal at the time. and
| a long controversy was carried on years
! ago in Wisconsin, where she lived.
/ The singular circumstance that he and
! his second wife should adopt and care
/ for the first gave rise to no end of gOs-
sip and suTmise and unpleasant sug-
| gestions of all conceivable sorts. But
| the matter had so completely died out
| of late years that in his latest home the
! facts were entirely unknown, and only
| his death was revealed them, His
! course seems to have been honorable
throughout and dictated by sincere
affection under very trying circum
! stances

MUCH CASH IN INDIANA.
Enormous Campaign Expenses of
Both Parties.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. ga radical
change has taken place in the workings
of the two committees within twenty
four hours, and everything about the
committee rooms wears an aspect of
deep and solemn secrecy. The clerks
of the two committees have been placed
in rooms carefully locked. the chair
men keep themselves secluded from
visitors, and only those having business
of the utmost Importance are admitted
to their presence. 1t is given out at
Headquarters that the gentlemen will
not be at leisure this week. and the
striking coincidence furnished in the
fact that both chairmen have thus got
ten down to secret work is leading to an
endless amount of gossip. 1t is claimed
that the financial matters of the
coming struggle are receiving
the attention of the chairmen.
and an investigation gives strong
color of truth to the rumOr. Each side
claims to know all about the money re-
ceived by the other, but each st0utly
denies that it has received more than is
absolutely necessary for legitimate ex-
penses. So far the expenses of each
committee has been in excess of $50, 900.
and it is estimated that not less than

continue the work to the end. The
printing bills are from $4,000 to $4,000
for each of the two committees this
year. They have alse been paying
about 81 800 month for telegraphing.
The remainder goes into expenses of
speakers, clerk hire, postage, hotel
bills. cost of taking the polls d.elec-
ton day expenses, amounting to from
$500 to 5000 for each county. The Re-
publicans say they know that the Dem
ocratic fund. according to various state
mentS, amounts to from 500. 900 to $780,
coo. The Democrats give out the in
formation that it is known that the ma
tional committee mas relented in its de-
termination to hold Indiana Repub-
licans to their Chicago promise, and has
sent 100000 to Chairman Huston, in
addition to which he has raised as much
more by $1,000 assessments upon
wealthy Indiana Republicans. Besides,
| it is asserted that much money has been
sent directly to Gen. Harrison for use

happy and prosperous. What gave you
the right to vote? Democratic principles.
1t is all in ,one sentence, written by
the hand of the father of
Democracy. Thomas jefferson. That
sentence is, ':All men are Gre
ated free and equal" This
is the foundation stone of Democ-
racy. Democracy sprang from that
sentiment. That sentiment has done
all for the human race in the way OF
ameliOrating their condition from the
day that sentiment was written down to
this day. Why! it enables you to
walk with your heads erect, the
equal of any man; it enables you
to look around at your little children,
and know that they will grow up and
be respected in the country; it enables
you to look upon your smart little boy
and say perchance that boy will be
