Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.

WAsHINGToS, Oct. 29.
A large number of department clerks and
officials are going home to vote. One hun
dred and twenty leaves were granted
the other day. They sacrifice part of their
salary for she privilege of casting vote.
DR.. Mary Walker issued a passionate ap-
peal tonight addressed to the great sister
hood all over the land" urging all women to
register and vote. 1t says that if women
were prevented from the exercise of their
clearly guaranteed rights money would be
forthcoming to prosecute such persons AS
may attempt to interfere, and if necessary
suits will be taken to the supreme court of
the United States, when, she says, the truth
of her constitutional argument would be de-
cided.

RiCHMoNp, Oct. 29.
Thomas Callahan had hearing before
Judge llagar this foreuoon on the charge of
felonious assault with a deadly weapon on
Thomas Ormand. last Thursday. He pleaded
not guilty and waived examination. The
judge placed his bonds at $4,000 aud as he
could not furnish the amount he was put into
the sheriif's hands, to be taken to Augusta
jail, to which place he was taken this after
noon.
Ormand remains about the same as yester-
day. At that time the surgeon stated that he
appeared strong for such an injury, and that
his temperature was down to 100 degrees
while his pulse had dropped to 100. His re-
covery though is improbable.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Logical Conclusions.

The following logical and unanswersble
conclusions relative to the much mooted
Sackville letter are well worth perusal:
al. That the British Minister'S advice to
his Los Angeles correspondent was based up
on accurate knowledge.
2. That his motive was to benefit. in
some manner the country he represents.
3. That his motive must have been a
powerful one to cause him to violate a we'll
known Law of international diplomacy of
which it would be worse than insane to be-
lieve him ignorant. 1t is likewise clear that
in the matters which are at present the sub
jects of international negotiations between
Great Britain and this country, benefit to
the former can only accrue by some disad-
vantage to the latter.

DETROIT, Oct. 20.
Gen. Butler spoke to the largest political
gathering of the the campaign in this getty at
the rink tonight The large building was
completely packed and several thou sand peo-
pie got no nearer than the outside doors.
The general was in poor form and was, with
difficulty, heard. He began by saying that
he was an old man and his political days
were over. He had been Greenbacker and
was proud of it.
There no longer existed any necessity for
a greenback party as they had secured all
they wanted. 1t made no difference to him
who was president. The president could not
do much harm anyway, but he preferred TO
see Harrison elected because he believed in
protection for capital and labor He then
proceeded to elaborate the discussion on the
tariff and Mills bill. Referring to the Sack
vile letter he said it made no difference
whether the Murchison letter was forgery
or not. The ministers letter was not.

minister, and NJ. Goblet, the French min

American minister, replying to NJ. Goblet to
the toast 10 his health, said:
Before giving the emblem you had given
the thing itself. All the great truths upon
which modern social order is based were
elaoorately spread throughout the world by
French genius. We received them with
ardor and finished by developing them. If
We have succeeded in re ,onciling the liber-
ty of each with the liberty of all we cannot
forget that the germ came from France.
The modern world gravitates toward the
political orbit traced by France and America.
The symbol which the statue of liberty
represents will become reality.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29


Mayor Denny today called together the
chief marshals of the republican and demo-
cratic parties parade, set for Saturday even
ing; also the chairman of the demo-
cratic aad republican county committees
were in consultation long time. Both par
ties refused to abandon the intended demon
sIration and it was finally agreed that each
party should parade only upon certain streets.
To this end the mayor drew a formal
written agreement, giving the line of march
and the time for starting and disbanding of
each column, Both marshals signed the
agreement ami the Mayor hopes that this
arrangement may prevent conflict. Both
sides are redoubling their efforts to get out
all clubs and make good showing. Ex-
Senator Mcdonald today expressed his opin-
ion of the letter of Minister West and said
that il would help instead of hurt the
Democratic party, because its chief effect
will be to show the desperation of the Re-

Foolish Resorts of Desperation.

Washington dispatch to Boston Advertiser. ]
Two democratic plots are exposed tonight.
One is private information of the republican
national committee, and comes from Wash
ington. 1t is arranged to have all the demo-
cratic papers of the country represent stimuli.
taneously that the republican electors if
they are elected are TO vote for Blaine and
not Harrison and make him President.
The other plot seems less credible, per-
haps, but it is none the less true. It is to
accuse Chairman Quay, on the representa-
ton of some fellows hired for the purpose,
of having tried to procure registration frsud-
ulently. Gen. Ramsey, of the republican
State committee of New Jersey, was arrested
in that way, but the democrats are the losers
The democrats thoroughly fear Quay.
