The MhiIechnpeI NInrder.

All London is profoundly agitated over a
series of murders of unparalleled atrocity
and bl0odthirstiness which have been com
mitted in the Whitechapel quarter of the
city. Within few weeks six women, all
of them of the dissolute class, have been
murdered in the streets of that district be-
tween midnight and morning. The method
of slaughter in every instance has been the
same the victims throat has been cut and
her body horribly mutilated and the muir
derer, having done his work noiselessly and
by stealth, has escaped observation as well
as all attempts at his detection. The last
two murders in the horrible series were
committed last Sunday morning, and the
city was paralyzed with the horror and
mystery of the crime. The first victim sim
ply had her throat cut, it being probable
that the assassin was frightened away be-
fore he had time to complete the work of
mutilation. In the other case the woman
was disemboweed, her nose was cut off and
the entrails were thrust into the gaping
wound in her throat. Rewards amounting
TO $4,000 are offered for the arrest of the
murderer but the efforts of the police and
detectives have been futile thus far. 1t is
the theory of those who have studied the
methods of the murderer that he is the vic
tim of homicidal mania resulting from re-
ligious decisions 1t is probable that he
possesses some surgical or anatomical knowl-
edge, and it is evident that the only weapon
he uses is long, sharp knife,

One of the most remarkable political dem
onstrations in this campaign was that
which took place on the polo grounds in
New York city in honor of the presence of
Hon. James G.. Blaine, who was then on his
way to fill his engagements to make cam
paign speeches in the West. The lowest
estimate places the number of people pres
ent at 10000, and some estimates are as
high as 100, 900. Mr.. Blaine SAYS it was the
largest political gathering he ever saw.
His speech was brief and confined almost
exclusively to the tariff. In beginning he
gave handsome aud felicitous characteri-
zation of Gen. Harrison, saying:
Gen. Harrison has the agreeable faculty of
condensng whole argument within the dimen-
Sions Of a proverb. 1t is the faculty which was
the striking feature in Benjamin Franklin's mode
of reasoning, and Mr. Lincoln possessed il in "A
very remarkable degree. Never was happier ar.
gument more ftcitously stated than when Gen.
Harrison said that frte-tradcrs were studying
maNims instead of markets. In single phrase he
exhibited the fallacy and the weakness of their
whole argument
Proceeding to condense the history of tar
ills in this country into few sentences, he
| declared that the country under low tariff
has never prospered that the country new
er recovered from financial disturbance
caused by a low tariff until a protective
one had been enacted and that the Demo
cratic party had never failed to demand the
repeal of protective tariffs when in power
since the time Calhoun forced it to submit
to the control of southern leaders, las it is
now ingloriously submitting today" Gov.
Foraker, John F. Finerty, Judge Tenney
and Rev w F. Derrick, a colored man, also
addressed the meeting
