HOW IT WAS RECEIVED.
WASHINGTON, Aug. M.-President Cleve-
lands message to Congress on the fisher
les question created little surprise. 1t has
been whispered around for two weeks
that such message was in preparation,
anticipating the rejection of the treaty.
There are, of course, two views taken Of tho
situation. The Democrats say the Presi-
dent is acting IN the utmost good faith,
and that q careful reading of his message
will convince any one of that fact. The
Republicans contend that it Is but the
lingo policy, and that the President Is bid
ding for popularity among the Irish voters
Of New York; that he is anxious to have
Congress push him into difficulty with
Canada just at this time, so that he may
solidify himself with the clements which
arc always clamoring for war, and to en-
able him to right himself with the classes
that have been criticising his foreign
policy.
There 10 one point upon which all Repub-
licans seem to be unanimous, and that is
that the President has been holding his let.
ter Of acceptance back for this move and
other moves yet to come. They
shy that he does not intend
10 issue his letter till he sees
what is done with his request for the
further legislation, and also what the Re
publican Tariff bill contains. II for no
other reason the Republicans will refuse
to take action upon the message till some
weeks have passed ~

TREACMERY AND CORRUP.

There il more treachery and cor.

anywhere else on the face Of the
habitabls globe.-Eureka Sentinel.
Treachery was not exactly con-
fined to the Democratic party on
election day. Treason was a. plenty
in both parties As the living, omni-
present air.
If anyone doubts the APPEALS
assertion, let him but study the re-
turns. There was hardly a county
in the State where political knaves
did not swap everything to their
own advantage, from the President
down.
What can be thought of man,
who, while claiming TO be Repub-
lican, considers his own individual
election of more moment than the
success OF the President?
Look over the figures in Storey,
Washos and Ormsby counties, and
see where good party men Were
knitted mercilessly.

Elko, White Pine, Humboldt and
Lander, and see where the blade of
the political assassin was piled all
day, and sharpened the day before
for the work.
What was the State Central Com
mittes doing when it allowed Muir
ply to be cut and slashed i? and who
was it on the Committee who gave
more Of the campaign money to
Democratic weekliss to fight the
ticket than to Republican dailies |
who fought for it?
What has become of these
straight ticket Republicans and
square party men who are supposed
to place the interests of the party
above their own party? They are
d. scarce, if We may be allowed to
speak in the vernacular of the
sagebrush.
In Ormsby county Doane and
Ullrick were knitted by men who,
after the election, were among the
first to congratulate them OH their
victory.
The politics OF the party are fast
falling into tho hands of men whose
only idea OF politics is to sacrifice
everyone for themselves. For years
they have thrust their hands into
the campaign sack to sink every
dollar they can reach. They have
sailed down thousands upon thous-
ands, and their stock in trade is the
SANDER of regular Republicans.
The rank and file of the party,
who have stood square ON the polit-
ical proposition through numberless
are getting q trifle
weary of the system which allows
these things to be done.
A lot of these frauds and hum
bugs must De squelched, and the
names Of the men who trade and
knife must be made sufficiently
odieus to sink them out Of sight.

DIRECT NEWS FROM STANLEY.
He Started from Albert Nyanza Year
Ago for W adelai.

ZANZIBAR, Nov. 2.-Couriers from
Tabora bring direct news from the Stanley
expedition, portion of which was met at
the end of November, 1887, by Arabs trad
ing between Lakes Victoria. Nyanza and
Nzige and Tabora. These Arabs met Stan
ley'S rear guard at point west of Albert
Nyanza southwest of Sangs, just as the ex-
pedition was preparing to cross the swnnps
caused by the radiation of the streams that
abound in that country. The Arabs did
not see Stanley. The detachment sem
consisted of thirty men. They stated that
Stanley was two days ahead.
SUFFERING ON THE MARCH.
The expedition had suffered greatly on
tho march through the thick forest, where
1t was impossible to advance more than one
and a quarter miles daily. They had also
suffered In the marsh where many had dis
appeared or died. Forty were drowned in
crossing great river flowing from east to
west. One white man had died. Stanley
was obliged to fight some tribes that re-
fused to supply him with provisions.
The expedition had often halted
in expectation of receiving reinforcements
from the Congo. The rear guard, a the
time met, had only been on the march five
days after halt of three weeks, due to the
Illness of Stanley and the greater part of
the escort, who had been attacked with
fever. The Arabs estimate the total
strength of the expedition, after all the
losses, at $50 men.
sTANLEY's HEALTH GOOD.
The health of Stanley was then good.
The rear guard, which consisted of natives
of Zanzibar, stated that Stanley had decided
that he would no longer advance in a north
easterly direction, but would strike toward
the north, hoping to avoid the swamps.
After getting n certain distance north, he
intended to take an oblique line to the east
ward and go straight to Wadelai. whore it
was ought he would arrive fifty days
later-about the middle of January. The

TO WININ WEST VIRGINIA
THE REPUBLICAN CLAIMS WON'T
BEAR INVESTIGATION.

Every County in the State Canvassed
by Senator Kenna-Gen. COTS SEN
atorial Aspirations All That He
Cares About in the State-The Tax
Questions Bffeots.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Democrats here,
who have been greatly disturbed OF late by
reports from the campaign in West Vir-
ginia, we're somewhat treasured to-day by
the announcement of the receipt of letter
from Senator Kenna, written to a gentle
man in this city, in which he expresses firm
confidence in the success of the whole DEM
ocratic ticket in that state. He has con-
Quoted the campaign, and doubtless speaks
from full and most authoritative informa-
ton. The majority for Cleveland and Thur
man is placed at 6,eO0, and a major
ity of from Is to 20 on joint ball
lot in the legislature is predicted.
CONFIRMED BY ANOTHER cAMPAIGNER.
This information is substantiated by a
prominent democratic official who has just
returned from the West Virginia stump.
This gentleman said to a representative of
an afternoon paper: The publicans,
under the leadership Of Gen. Golf, who
wants to succeed Senator Kenna, are de-
voting their efforts mainly to the legislative
ticket, and are leaving nothing undone to
obtain majority in the next legislature,
which will elect United States senator.
KENNA's CANVASS.
Senator Kenna, on the other hand, is
making the most thorough canvass of the
state ever undertaken. He has spoken in
every one of the thirty-four counties of the
state since the opening Of the campaign,
and will keep it up until the very eve of the
election. On the legislative fight the demo-
Gratis are as confident as they are on the
national contest. In the Panhandle coun-
ties up about Wheeling they have been
more than usually active and aggressive,
and think they will be able to gain three
legislative districts from the republicans in
that region"
THE TAX QUESTION.
"How about the tariff question: the
reporter asked.
There have been some reflections from
the democrats in Wheeling on the tariff or
tax question, as every one calls it In West
Virginia." the gentleman answered, "but
throug hout the rest of the state the demo-
Gratis have gained rather than lost on the
question. Every voter in the state has
been supplied with copies of the leading
speeches made in the tariff debate
in the House during the last
session. These documents were sent through
the postofiice, so that there is no doubt they
reached the voters whose names were OBJ
tanned from the poll lists of the state As
10 the congressional contests, the democrats
have no doubt about their ability TO hold
the three districts they now have, and feel
hopeful Of being able TO elect a successor to
Gen. Gof in the Wheeling district

One of the new cases is white.
The system of distributing the relief funds
to as great degree as possible to laborers
in payment for work done, seems to have
met with the h arty approval OF the con-
tributors, as constant expressions to that
effect are received by the managers of the
fund, and it certainly is to the benefit of the
wage eerners They receive honest pay
ment for their WORK, and the money is hon
estly earned.
The means at the disposal Of this city
being very limited, no heavy work can be
undertaken, but a good street on the river
front rescued from swamp and tide-washed
fat is one thing that is being done. Con-
Meeting now thoroughfare from the city
with the old town is another desirable i'm
provement.
At the same time many minor works of
sanitation are in progress.
Fernandina before the epidemic was q
most clean city. Surgeon Wise is reported
as saving it was the ceanest he ever visited.
Now it will have to be considered as polished.
If cleanliness will preserve city from con-
tagion, Fernandina aims to attain that con-

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.--The democratic
campaign in this city was closed this even
ing by mass meeting of business men held
at Horticultural hail. at which the tariff
and wage questions were the chief topic Of
discussion. William M. Singerly, proprie-
tor Of the Philadelphia Record, presided at
the meeting, which was chiefly attended by
merchants and Others representing the
commercial and industrial interests Of the
city.
The failure of Senator Eustis OF Louisiana
to reach Philadelphia in time Go address the
meeting as was expected, was something of
a disappointment. Mr. Singerly was re.
ceived with long continued applause. He
said he had been widely advertised as free
trader, but be. as a business man, was only
in favor OF reform Of the tariff, because
such reform was demanded to preserve and
stimulate the business Of the country.

raw materials would benefit the whole

more than any other city In the union. II
