Horace Greedy, during the last years Of
his life, found friends among the people

The frequent reunions Of the blue and

CLEVELAND DENIES A STORY.
Meeting at Buffalo Addressed by Secretary
Fairchild.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. Sat large Dem
ocratic mass-meeting in Music hall last
night a telegram was read from President
Cleveland denying the statement published
by E. c. Robbins that he once heard Mr..
Cleveland say he would never run on a
ticket with an freshman, and would never
vote for an Irishman. Mr. Mooney, expires
ident of the Irish Land league, who presided,
commenting on the presidents telegram,
called attention to the fact that Mr. Cleve.
Cleveland did run on the ticket with two
Irishmen, Timothy Mahoney, candidate for
comptroller, and John Mahoney, candidate
for street commissioner-both Irish Roman

was imputed to him by Robbins

with national banks Mr.. Blaine had said at De-
troit that the secretary might properly be i'm
peached for his action. In his speech three weeks
ago TO the business men of New York he Fair.
child had shown that every material allegation
made by Mr. Blaine in this regard was false A
year ago, after all bonds subject to call had been
paid, and all bonds bought that could be for the
sinking fund the surplus in the banks OF the
country had got very low. Bankers and mer-
chants were alarmed. When the national bank
ing system was started q law was passed author
Ting the secretary of the treasury to deposit col
lections of internal revenue in such banks and
such amounts he should designate year
ago l took from the treasury s60O 900 900 and de-
posted it in the national banks as thought best
The number of repositories was increased, and the
amount which single bank might have on de-
post, so that the aggregate of deposits was
increased about S37. 900 600 between Oct and the
middle of December. The charge that was
guilty of favoritism toward the banks is ridc-
ulous. The banks were 10th to take the deposits
because little profit would be made from them.
Each bank received its deposits exactly in the or
der of the applications received The result was
the tiding over of the financial crisis. The Re-
pubicans ask why we did not buy bonds at that
time. The authority to buy bonds in this way
was given in an appropriation act of 1881. 1t was
believed that provision in al appropriation bill
of that kind would only remain in effect one year
Hence it expired in 1882. In the face of all that

deposits and the time congress was to meet to

THe lCE-BOUND WHALERS



WASHINGTON, CITY, Nov. 3-Under or
ders from tie acting secretary of the navy,
naval officer found in San Francisco the
captain of the bark Hollond, which brought
news of the perilous situation of the Amer
lean whalers in arctic waters, and succeeded
in securing the following additional informa-
ton:
"The thirteen vessels at last accounts were
inclosed in an open lake twenty miles in di-
ameter in the ice-pack, latitude II north,
longitude "A west. Tue steam whaler Lu-
cretia was the last vessel to get ont, forcing
her way through young ice. She
reported the state of affairs to
the eeet outside, and the steam
whalers Thrasher and Freeman started inl-
mediately to attempt rescue, and may have
been successful. The imprisoned vessels all
have experienced captains, and are all well
found in clothing and food, which may be
supplemented by game and fish in case Of
necessity. Other vessels are expected to ar
rive at any day bringing later news of the
imprisoned feet
Although this report is regarded at the
navy department as much more favorable
than that first received, preparations to fit
out the United States Steamship Thetis, for
relief expedition, will be pushed forward.

deputy sheriffs at bay for several hours last
Thursday, and, according to the fastest re-

They went to Built creek, on which stream

Death came to the relief of Mr.. P. W.
Zoeckler at his home, corner of Twenty
third street and Fifth avenue last even>
ing, after period of suffering extending
over two weeks and resulting directly
from injuries received while in the per-
formance of his duties at the upper saw
mill. The accident of which Mr.. Zoeck,
Ter was the unfortunate victim, was
described in the ARGUS at the time of its
occurrence. While engaged 10 the canac-
itY of marker he was struck in the pit of
the stomach by flying slab and rem
dered unconscious by the force and effect
of the blow. Internal injuries resulting
from this, finally proved fatal.
Deceased was born in Wheeling, West
Virginia, and was forty>seven years of
age. He came west about fifteen years
ago, settling at Davenport, where he re-
manned until within two years, since
which time he has resided in this city

devoted and attentive to him during his
sufferings. He will be buried tomorrow
under the auspices of that society.

In a very few days the votes for presl-
dent of the United States will have been
cast, counted and the result known.
The canvass has been holly contested of
course but on the " hole il has been cred.
liable to the good sense of both parties,
much more so than the mud>sln9ing cam
psign of four years ago. Numerous Guess
tions have been discussed, but after all
there mas been but one great issue around
which the Others have revolved as satei~
lles-=that Of tariff reform. As President
OieEeldnu has well expressed II, 1t Is
condition not theory, that coHfronis Is.
More taxes are levied than the necessities
OF the government require. The conse-
quence is that the people are burdened to
pile up an enormous surplus in the treas
ury which embarrasses trade by produc.
ing a stringeucy of the circulating medi-
um and proves a constant temptation to
robbers and spendtEirfts. The democrats
propose to remedy this unconscious cons
dition of things by reducing the taxes
upon the necesssries of life and upon raw
materials which enter into manufactures.
By doing this the cost of living will be
cheapened and at the same time our
manufactures will be enabled to compete
with England in the markets OF the
world, IL is anticipated that the demo-
cratic policy will benefit the people in
-four ways: First, by preventing none
fary s,ringency, second, by tending to
produce economy In the conduct of the
government; third, by cheapening the
cost of living, fourth, by stimulating
manufacturing enterprises.
1t has been sought on the part Of the
republicans to befog this simple issue,
which we have endeavored 10 state as
fairy as possible, by RAISING the cry of
free trade" Never had campaign CRY
less foundation. The present tariff leyies
an average duty of Al per cent upon the
articles included in its various schedules
The democrats propose to reduce this av,
erage to AZ per cent. Is AZ per cent pro-
lection and 5 per cent less free trade?
Why, the average of the duties under the
Morrill, or war tariff, which was in force
during the greater part of the war of the
rebellion, when enormous governmental
revenues were called for, was ONLY about
20 per cent. Even the bill recently in.
troduced by the republican senators places
the average Of dutiable articles at 42 Der
cent, just as in the Mills bill as it stands
at present. Is the entire republican men,
bership Of the senate committed to free
trade? No; the American people are too
intelligent to be deceived by the bosh
conjured up by Blaine and his folio wers,
1t seems to the ARGUS that the demo-
- cratic position is so clearly right that
there can be but one result to next Tues,
days battle at the polls, and that is the
triumphant reelection of Grover Cleve-
land.

Vote for II.

In order To preserve the financial ill.,
tegrity of Rock Island county, the ARGUS
urges its democratic readers to vote for
the three mill tax which is asked for BY
the board of supervisors We take it as
q matter of course that every republican
will vote for it. as they consider tax
blessing. On the election tickets will be
printed the words: For the Three Mill
Tax" Against the Three Mill Tax. "
Before the ticket is voted it will be nee
esssry to erase one of the lines. While
this additional three mill tax will be q
burden to the PEG pie, still it is a necessa
ry expense that must be borne at this
time to save the credit of the county.
The ARGUS believes for this reason that
the three mill tax clause will be adopted,
but if the county treasury was overflow
ing, the tax payers would very likely rise
in their wrath and repudiate any plan of
this sort. There might be a moral at
teched to the three mill tax question and
applied to the republican policy in regard
to national affairs.

Brewer holds that the land in question Ie-

settlers will therefore be compelled to
give up possession to the com

of the most fertile farming lands in the
country and this adverse decision will be q
