DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL TICKET.


The democrats believe that no citizen
should be advantaged over another by
law, and that all should engage in the
struggle of life with equal chances; that
riches nd poverty should be apportioned
according TO industry. thrift. ability and
good conduct that the laws should leave
every American free to rise to the top of
the social scale or to fall to the bottom,
as his caIlbre inclines him; and that a
law, of which the inevitable effect IS to
clothe oae man in purple and fine linen
and to wrap another man in rags. is a bad
law, monstrous law, an Infamous law
which ought to be wiped out of existence
without an instant's delay.
That law is the present war tariff under
which We live, and the question to be SUBJ
mitted to the people in November is

HARRiSON'S SATURDAY VISITORS.
Delegations from Chicago and Milwaukee
Call Upon Him.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 15-The con-
tinuous rain Saturday interfered somewhat
with the visit of the Milwaukee and
Chicago people to Gen. Harrison but the
enthusiasm of the reception and one or two
incidents connected with it gave full effect
to the event. The Milwaukee delegation of
the Young Mems Republican club numbered
800, while that from Chicago was composed
of 260 German-Americans, many of whom
were accompanied by their wives and other
ladies. The usual order was observed in the
receptions by the local committee In the
evening the visitors with citizens crowded
Tomlinson hall in spite of the dis.
agreeable night, and upon Gen
Harrison's appearance the applause was
great W Volcke, of Chicago; Paul D Car
penter, son of the late Senator Matt Carpen-
ter, and Gen. Frederick knefer, of this city,
made the presentation speeches. In response
Gen Harrison spoke OF the thrift of the Ger
man people, their great love of home and
country. He then touched upon the issues
which have been distinctly drawn in this
campaign, giving most of his time to the
protective tariff question.
At the close Of the speech, on behalf of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception of Bay
View, Milwaukee, John Often presented the
Soehngan, of Chicago, presented him with a
silver horseshoe. After this the general
shook hands with each one of the visitors,
who, after his departure, continued the meet
ing with music, songs aud speeches.

Rally of Cleveland Business Men, Ad-
dressed by Fairchild and Carlisle.
New YORK, Oct 15-The Democratic bust
ness men held great demonstration in front
of the sub-treasury Saturday. The building
was handsomely decorated, and platform
built for the speakers, while the rally was
assisted by parade of Democratic clubs
The bands engaged for the parade were al
most innumerable. The arrangements at the
platform on the sub-treasury steps were as
nearly perfect as possible. At 2 o'clock the
meeting was called to order by Mr.. Joseph ].
0'Donohue, and Mr.. Frederick N. Lawrence
was made chairman. He briefly addressed
the assemblage. Mr. Lawrence eulogized
President Ceveland's administration, and
appealed to the voters to re-elect him Res
buttons were read expressing unqualified ap.
proval of President Cleveland's administra-
ton and his tariff message, and adopted with
loud cheers.
Chairman Lawrence then introduced Sec
rotary Fairchild as the first speaker. Loud and
prolonged cheering greeted the secretary of
the treasury as he stepped to the front of the
platform. Secretary Fairchild had hardly
launched into his speech when he was inter

different clubs passed by in review with
loud cheers, and when they had passed he
concluded his speech, which was largely de-
voted to disproving the statement that the ma

of the $50, 000,0 01 of surplus placed in their
charge cleared $4,000 per year on each
million. He produced figures to prove that
their profits thereon were only little over
$500 per million.
Mr. Fairchild was followed by Speaker
| Carlisle, who discussed the tariff question.
1t is estimated that there were from 10, 00C
to $1,000 men in the procession The parade
was one of the largest ever witnessed in the
city so early in the campaign. Crowds
lined the streets through which the process
sion passed, and bandanas were seen in pro.
fusion.

THE 90" STRIKE IN NEBRASKA.
Report of the State Board of Transport,

Report of the State Board of Transports
ton 1hereupon-The Conclusions.
LINCOLN, Neb, Oct. I5.-Early last spring
the state beard of transportation ordered an
investigation into the 20" strike, and for
some time the members of the board selected
to make the inquiry were engaged taking
testimony relative thereto. The re-
port on the subject has just been
filed and will be presented to the
legislature at its next meeting The
report says that the evidence taken is suffi-
cient to clearly establish the fact that the
strike of the Brotherhood engineers on the
eth day of February last, and their attempt
to dictate who the railroad should employ,
was clearly illegal" An incident of the
strike which was testified to is given in the
report in which it is stated that one of the
striking engineers boarded Burlington &
Missouri engine and offered the engineer in
charge 500 to quit work, and upon the new
engineer refusing the striker threw him Off
the engine The report adds that this was
one of the methods employed by the strikers,
who in using this sort of violence were acting
for the Brotherhood, which furnished the
money to buy off those employed to take the
places of the strikers; and the report declares
tnat if these statements be true a criminal
conspiracy existed on the part of said Broth
erhood engineers, rendering them liable foI
conspiracy and for damages resulting there
from
One of the questions referred to the board
OF inquiry was: alas the Burlington & Mis-
souri, in Nebraska employed incompetent en-
ffa, nj. ~
the date of the beginning of the strike.
THIS question is answered in the affirmative,
with the additional statement that the strike
extended in single day along line of rail-
way for 1000 miles, the men quit
ting their engines without no.
tice, and the company had no alternative
except to stop traffic entirely, accede to the
demands of the strikers, or employ such men
as it could get in the emergency 1t chose
the latter course and men of little experience
or practical knowledge were employed for
the time, who were superseded by COM
petent men as soon as possible, and the re-
port declares that "at the present time,
May 10, 1t Is believed the operating force of
the Burlington & Missouri River railroad
in Nebraska are as competent and capable as
the force which struck on the eth of Feb
ruary last"
The report closes with declaration that
giving to committee the power to order a
strike of any class of Iaborers is wrong;
that every laborer should retain his indi-
vidual liberty of action. and that he infiicts
a wrong upon himself "whep he submits to
power other than his own judgment to
say when he shall work and when he shall
remain idle

But by far the most interesting part of
this hunt to me is yet to come, and to tell
which all this rigmarole has been penned.
The voices of the two dogs as they passed
along the mountain had been recognized by
their owners, and both claimed the deer.
Such things have been known to cause bit
ter feud. One was sure it was his dog, and
the other was just as sure it was his; but the
question of most Importance to be settled
was, Which Of the dogs started the deer2
The deer was brought on shore and laid upon
the green sward, where even the Indies. gen
tie creatures, admired it. Soon the boat ar
rived with the two dogs, and one of the old
hunters cried out, "Send those hounds I'D
here, and let us see whose deer this is.n Never
having heard so strange n story, /, half in
doubt, said, "What nonsense is that YOU are
talkingf' mo nonsense, doctor; wait and
see."
Being deeply interested l approached
closely, that might the better observe the
animals One of them walked up to the
deer, smelt him all over and seemed quite in
doubt. Then the other dog came up with an
angry growl, smelt the deer and deliberately
laid himself down by the animal, while the
first dog quietly placed his tail between his
legs and walked away l could not help ex-
pressing my amazement, and still doubling
the fact said to my old guide: ''That dog
that is lying by the deer has been the master
of the other and has cowed him. ION the
contrary" said my informer, ''the dog that
gave up the deer is the better fighter and
whips that dog every time" We learned
during the day that the deer had been started
ten miles down the river by the dog that
claimed 1t, and the sound of his voice drew
the other one, about four miles below the
lake, confirming the test and proving the
wonderful instinct of the hound.-Forest
