BAYAKD AT BROOKLYN.
The Party Of Moral Ideas Given
SOmesAKard WhackS,

NEW YORK, November 1.-At a mass
meeting OF Democrats held tonight in
Claremont avenue rink, Brooklyn. Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard was the principal
speaker and in speech of two hours
duration referred at length to the Sack
vile affair. Said he: There is one moral
monstrosity that for the last few davs
has been sought to be played in this cam
paign to which must refer. refer to that
piece of political ingenuity called the
Murchison letter; but there was no such
person, and it devolved upon the party
that once boasted as the party of moral
ideas, to protect and promote the work
of this dishonest man. Thus was false
hood clothed in the garb of perjury, and it
laid siege to gullibility with absolute sue
cess. ask you whether the use made by
the chief orator of the Republican party,
and listened to with clapping hands and
rejoicing, l ask you whether it is not
worse than the act of Murchison him
self. Why is this crime spread? They
know it was concerted, and they say
they don't care if it was. They joke
about it. One distinguished gentleman
has said that it 'let the cat out
Of the bag" and SO he can be
iocose about an act of perjury and vii
lainy. beg to add another item to your
labor in this campaign, and tn is to
stamp everywhere publicly, privately, po-
litically and personally, with complete
indignation, all such schemes of inter-
ference and trickery which tend to lower
the character of American people in their
own eyes and in the eyes Of all civilized
men. Washington in his farewell ad-
dress to his countrymen, speaking almost
from the grave, said that morality should
not be divorced from the Government of
the Republic without it's fall. l trust that
no man who will joke at crime and en-
courage its commission for political
results will be tolerated. If we worship
an image let it be the image of Liberty.
Take some such grand figure as the gem
erous enthusiasm and proof of brother
hood of the French artist who placed at
the gate of this city and port the figure
of Liberty Enlightening the World. Let
us take this as the American people,
Liberty EnlighteniDg the World, and
not take "Jim, the Penman."

POMONA. Cal, November 1.-The Muir
Gibson West party of Pomona (formerly
the Republican party, is discouraged
and has given up the fight here. They
pulled down their speakers stand to-day
and Governor Sheldon, OF New Mexico,
who was to speak here tonight, was
left to look out for himself without one

The Vote of New York City.

In 1884 the vote cast in New York
City was about two hundred and ten
thousand. Cleveland's plurality over
Blaine was about forty-three thousand
This year the registered voters mum be,
two hundred and eighty-seven thousand
against two hundred and twenty-seven
thousand in 1884. The stay-at-homes
were only seventeen thousand, or much
less than ten per cent. OF the registra-
tion. 1t is pretty certain that all the vote
will be gotten out this time, owing to the
intense interest felt in the National issue,
and to the fvefold fight going on for the
Mayoralty. 1t will be observed that the
ratio of the Democratic vote in the city
is about sixty per cent. of the
total vote. The vote next Tues
day may be expected to reach
two hundred and seventy-fve thousand,
which would give Cleveland a lead in
the city OF fifty-fve thousand.
In order to test the temper of the peo-
pie and get something nearer than
ratios based on glittering generalities
the New York World with splendid en-
terprise has for several days had a whole
army of reporters out interviewing right
and left. These interviews are genuine
as name, occupation and address are in
all cases given, and the reporters are in
structed to take the voters as they run.
The Produce Exchange was made the
ground for one days battle. The ele-
waited railroad as it brought the people to
the city one morning yielded up
another batch of results. A big Brooklyn
ferry was worked on for another pointer.
Then the labor people were attacked, and
last of all the Irish. Some half dozen of
these have been taken-all that have
come to hand thus far, and the summa-
ries are given for the information of the
readers of the HERALD. Here is one
which ia prettv evenlv dividod.

The Boom is On!

Yesterday the HERALD chronicled the
sale of the cable road system OF Los An
Angeles to syndicate of heavy capital
lists of Chicago. The incident is one OF
no little moment. 1t means that this
city is to have with all possible dispatch,
one Of the most efficient systems of street
railroads in the country. But that is not
all. 1t also means that large number
OF heavy capitalists are to be interested
in vital way in the prosperity of Los
Angeles. They will come and 60 fre-
quently here and they will bring their
friends. They will tell of what they see
and laud our climate and the resources
OF this section. All Los Angeles
has to ask is that people be attracted to
her gates. To see this city and this Sec
ton is to be charmed with both, and to
be attracted to this spot as the most de-
lightful in the world for home.
simultaneously with this good news
comes report that negotiations have
made considerable progress and are
likely to be brought to successful ter
mination by which the electric railroad
is to be transferred to people who are
abundantly able to equip it and run it in
as efficient manner as any line in the
State.
Then comes the stirring news that
Eastern people have opened negotiations
looking to the acquisition of the Main
and Tenth street hotel. 1t looks as il
this enterprise could be set afoot again
and pushed rapidly to completion. The
persons who desire to get control of the
property are probably now on the way
out here to take look at the situation
There is no more promising enterprise
in sight to-day than this great hotel.
The city needs such hostelry more
than anything else. And the
results to be expected for its
erection will more than justify the outlay
necessary to complete it. The ground
on which the hotel is to stand will in
three years be worth 81, 100000. There
is only one matter of regret about this
porposed transfer OF tine hotel. That en-
terprlse ought to have been carried out
by our own people as an outward sign
and exponent OF their interest and faith
in the city.
Then to cap the climax cf all this
revival OF the boom comes the news that
the Rodeo de las Aguas ranch between
here and Santa Monica, embracing the
townsite of Morocco with all the water
rights and other appurtenances
has been sold to party OF
New Workers for the snug sum of "a ,O00,.
900.
The transfer OF San Joaquin ranch
for 81 100000 is expected to be consum-
mated in a few weeks. Yesterday the
property on the corner OF First and Vine
street, opposite the lumber yard on the
latter, was sold for 3,75O and house
and lot on Hill street were sold fol

Who will honestly deny that, in the
United States, all taxes, direct or in.
direct, should be levied for the benefit OF
the masses? Yet it is the wealthy
classes-the extreme minority OF the
population-that now secure the benefits
accruing under the present high-war-
tariff system OF taxation. 1t is all on
one side, like the handle of a Jug. Yet
there are workingmen in the Republica n
ranks who are glad to pay an unneces.
sary tax of SO per cent. on the clothes
they wear, and correspondingly heavy
and unnecessary tax upon all of the other
articles they consume. The high pro-
lection tradition is firmly fixed in their
minds, and so they go inconsiderately
on. None is SO blind as he who will not
see.

THOSE most affected by the fisheries
question are the Maine fishermen. They
know as much about what the present
administration is doing to protect their
interests as either Minister West or Mr..
Blaine. The recent election in Maine
which Mr.. Blaine called a political
revolution" shows Democratic gain on
plurality Of nearly 1000 and the analysis
Of the vote shows that more than hall
this gain comes from those fishing vii
lagos whose inhabitants were, according
to Mr.. Blaine, robbed of their rights by
President Cleveland.

ANY straw, however frail, will do for
our Republican friends to catch at in
their present desperate condition. They
see the State of California shrinking
from their grasp, chiefly because Harri-
son hugged "the little brown men from
China" to his bosom when he was
United States Senator. To break the
force of his well-known record, they have
concocted circular which is as full of
mendacity and deception as an egg is OF
meat. One OF its claims is that Harrison
showed his antipathy to the Mongolians
when he voted for Edmund's amend.
ment to Farley's amendment. Let us
see what that vote amounted to. SEN
ator Farley had succeeded in grating
upon the Restriction bill section IA, as
follows:
Hereafter no State court or court OF
the United States shall admit Chinese to
citizenship, and all laws in conflict with
this act are hereby repealed"
April %, 1852, on a motion to strike
this section out, Mr.. Harrison voted aye.
Now comes the milk in the cocoanut. On
the 2Sth of April Senator Edmunds, hop
ing to kill the Farley amendment by an
equivocal substitute, moved to insert the
following in lieu of section IA:
Nothing in this act shall be construed
to change the existing naturalization laws
so as to admit Chinese to citizenship"
Harrison voted aye for this substitute,
and on this vote the Republican circular
says that he vindicated his claim to
being sound on the Chinese goose. When
we recollect that under the existing
naturalization laws" Cinnamon had been
admitted to citizenship in Indiana,
Massachusetts and elsewhere, the Sene.
gambian in the wood pile will be appar-
ent. The existing laws" had admitted
Chinese to citizenship, and Harrison
voted that these laws should not be dis
turbed. What campaign OF deception
our friends over the way are making Of
this
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-11-02

Mr.. SHoRTRIDGE, one of the Harrison
electors, is trying to beguile a few ignor
ant voters into giving him their votes.
He tells them he has a bit OF personal
vanity to crafty in running ahead OF the
other Harrison electors, and that vote
so cast for him does not change the
count for President. OF course this is all
a lie. To vote for Shortridge or any
other Republican elector is to vote for
Harrison for President.

y
On, Murchison, what have you done,
You double dyed deceiver?
You killed two birds with your id stun.
You've busted dead great Harrison,
FIXED willy Cleve at Washington
Ihe country four more years to run,
And sent the blarsted Englishmun
In double-quick to his old hum,
You P'mona cattle reiyer!
Oh, Murchison, oh Murchison,
Your letter was a corker;
You struck our party 'twixt the ewes
You knocked US so we cannot rise;
And covered us with British flies
tell you, you can take the prize
To lay plan that's all too wise
A boomerang to throws your size,
You bloody cockney porker!
Oh, Murchison, you sunvagun!
You're worse than any quack bill;
you've spoiled our dandy winning game
The Irish hatred to inflame;
We had it pat when in you came,
And with your missive turned the blame
On us OF all the ills that come
from you and double-dealer Blaine
On us and that fool sackville.

The result of all this various interview
ing simply goes to show that the parties
have changed their relative position, one
to the other, by the discussion of the
campaign, and the change that
has taken place favors Cleveland.
He is favored in the changes from Blaine
to Cleveland, and he is favored in the
first-voters. These are two very signifi
cant pointers. The Blaine Democrats
are coming back to their party to larger
degree than the Mugwumps are going
back to Republicanism. Indeed, the
Mugwump to a great extent has left his
old alliances for good. He came out oi
the Republican camp on the Civil Service
issue, and he will stay out on
the tariff issues. The young men
are attaching themselves to the party oi
living issues, the Democracy, rather
than to the wavers OF the bloody shirt.
The gain to the Democracy amounts tc
five per cent. of the total vote. That
ratio of the estimated vote of two hun.
dred and seventy-tive thousand would
add nearly fourteen thousand to Cleve.
lands plurality, as estimated on the old
ratios, and put him nearly sew.
enty thousand ahead in New
York City-a very probable result.
Add to this twenty-five thousand
plurality to come from Brooklyn and its
surroundings would send the triumphant
Democracy to Harlem Bridge in the
lead ninety thousand. That is about what
the figure will be. Four years age
Brooklyn, Queens County, and Slater
Island contributed twenty Thousand
plurality to Cleveland. The registration
in Brooklyn for this year is thirty thous
and more than in 1884.

quarters-The Estimated Vote.

INDIANAPOLIS, November 1.-General
Harrison passed the day in his library
at home receiving the usual number of
visitors. Among his callers this after
noon was d. L. Brown, of Kansas, who
presented the General a mallet made
from the stump of the Whig tree at Mount
Tip, Athens county, September 25, 1910.
On the 25th of September the citizens
met to plant another Harrison pole on
the identical spot where the remains of
its predecessor were unearthed. On the
handle is attached finely preserved
medal of the Tippecanoe campaign.
General and Mrs. Harrison evinced
lively interest in the historical relic.
Every one is hard at work about politi-
cal headquarters for receiving the election
returns by precincts. During no previous
campaign in Indiana were such careful
and complete preparations made regard
ing the returns are now fn progress. 1t
is calculated that the total vote of Indi-
ana will reach between $4,000
and 100000, an increase of
$4,000 over 1885. A goodly
percentage of this increase is attributed
to the discovery and development of
natural gas, which brought thousands
from Pennsylvania, Ohio and the East.
Chairman Huston, of the Republican
State Central Committee, to-day wrote
Chairman Jewett, of the Democratic
Committee, asking his cooperation in
certain plans to prevent fraudulent vot-
ing. Mr.. Jewett promises to give the
matter his earliest consideration.

looks haggard, careworn and tired from

SteubenviIle Special May G.
Another wreck occurred at Rock Cut,
on the Cleveland and Pittsburgh r. R.,
three miles North of Steubenvilie, to-day.
Miller & Freeman's railroad shows, of Co
lumbus, making a jump of 176 miles, from
GAINESVILLE to New Castle, Pa, transferred
train of fourteen cars to the Cleveland
and Pittsburgh at Bellaire, and nothing
happened until at the East end of Rock
Cut. when the engine struck a small pile
of dirt, derailing it and a hundred feet far
ther on throwing it on its side across the
track.
On the engine was the engineman, fire
man, and conductor. The fireman saw
the obstruction, jumped and miraculouSly
escaped. The engineman, AbneT Still
well, remained at his post, and when the
engine turned the steam chest burst, del
uging him with scalding vapor, literally
cooking his left arm and leg, and fearful
ly Scalding other parts of his body. He
was taken to his home, but surgeons say
he can not recover. Conductor Wilson
Jordan was also wedged in by the wreck
of the engine cab and had to be cut out.
He was painfully scalded and bruised, but
not seriously.
Back Of the engine were four long flat
ears, loaded with big baggage wagons
