IErom the Philadelphia Tjnes 4,

From the Pbiladelphia Ttnes.I
Both the great parties now confess
and proclaim the necessity for tariff
revision and ven reduction, and
both stand before tho country pledged
to prompt diminutiOn of taxes.
The house tariff bill, as passed many
weeks ago, reduces taxation and re,e-
nue. $50, 000, 900 per annum
The senate bill, as just reported to
that body, reduces taxation $75 ,O0O, 900
per annum.
There Is now common agreement, as
both parties face the people In a nation
al contest, that taxes must be reduced,
and that we are extortipg from the
industries of the country from $75, eOO,-
900 to $50, 900 900 a year to embarrass
business and trade and tempt the job

attempt to destroy or weaken a singl

The house bill cheapens the necessa

materials to increase the prosperity G
our mills and labor and at the sam
time reduces the cost of the necessarie

a leading Sioux chief, were married
Tuesday evening according to Indian

OF tourists who recently came into the

arrival the young savage began to

Notwithstanding the remonstrances of

day. The contract is considered by
the Indians as being legal and binding,

Euglishman will soon tire Of his Indian
bride aud make himself scarce.

A Chicago dispatch, dated, Oct. 18th

A Chicago dispatch, dated, Oct. 18th
says the democrats of Illinois have been
making a still hunt and have discover
ed such a radical change of front as to
justify them In saying that the republic
can majority of four years ago will be
entirely wiped out. Judge Goodrich,
chairman of the democratic executive
committee, declares that the committee
has official information regarding the
change of front of over 10, 200 voters.
This is very marked in many counties
where old time republican leaders have
not only come over to the democratic
side but are advocating Mr.. Cleveland's
| re. election. Men like Owen Loveioy
of Princeton, ex-senator l.. ID. Whit
ing of Tiskilwa, John q. White OF Eff
iugham, Prof. Boltwood of Evanston
and q. e. Cleveland of Abingdon, who
were red hot republicans four years
ago, are now stumping for Cleveland
and Thurman. The vast majority of
the American voters are out
for tariff reform and thousands of Irish
men who supported Blaine in 1884 are
for Cleveland this year. In Chicago
and vicinity the change has been a
very marked one On every hand
men can be found who have been life
long republicans, but they are supper
ting Mr.. Cleveland. Among the con-
verts are many of the weslthiest and
most prominent business men Of Chica-
60. Chairman Campbell of the demo-
cratic state central committee claims
$1,000 majority in the city of Chicago.
