Hon. OLIN WELLBoRN's speech here
last night was one of the most eloquen
ever made any where in any campaign
1t caught the popular heart like sweetest
music, or dearest truths. Logical, forci-
BILE, full of pith and crammed with facts,
it established beyond controversy the
truth OF the Democratic position. Such
enthusiasm as greeted the telling points
that rolled off, in well-turned sentences,
has not been heard here during the
campaign. Mr.. Wellborn should by all
means be kept on the stump. He is a
vote-maker of the most successful stripe.
More of that sort would create political
revolution and no mistake.

THAT the personal identity hidden be-

THAT the personal identity hidden be-
hind the fictitious signature "Charles F.
Morchison" will ever be dragged out
from the dark where the recreant
buries himself from the shame which
overwhelms him, lie not probable. His
perfidious betrayal of confidence
voluntarily sought and self-pledged is
something few people will have the
hardihood to face. He is an English
man. He makes use Of the sacred feel
ing Of q mutual nationality to obtain q
letter from his countryman under a
solemn pledge of privacy, and
then he gives it to the world
the very purpose for which the base
and unconscionable rascal obtained it.
That is an achievement few villains will
care to boast of. The writer will remain
shrouded in the oblivion he now finds
refuge under so far as any act of his can
keep him 30. And that is all we can see
in the famous Murchison letter.

THERE is to be tidal wave of votes in
New York City. The registration already
is up to 2S6,547. Yesterday nearly
100000 voters enrolled for the contest.
There is still one day to register, we be-
lieve. The total will sum up $50 900
electors. That means not less than
$4,000 Democratic plurality to 90
out to Harlan bridge to meet the Repub-
lican wave coming in. Ours will over
top theirs, flow over it, swallow it up,
and it and the little Indiana candidate
and his party will then go down never to
rise again.

BERLIN, October PA municipal dep
utation waiting upon Emperor William
to-day presented al address of welcome
on the occasion of his return home, and
were startled by some emphatic remarks
in the course of his reply, on the scandal
and gossip of the press affecting the I'M
perial family. He trusted that his recent
journeyings would have the best results
for the Empire, but he learned with regset
that during his absence, while using his
best efforts for tie interests of the EN-
pire, disputes have arisen in the Berlin
press regarding the affairs of the mem
bers OF his family. Attacks were made
such as would not be tolerated by, nor
permitted against, any private indi-
vidual. He requested the deputation to
do their utmost to put stop to this I'M
seemly discussion. The Emperor spoke
in tone devoid OF anger, but his man
ner left the impression that he felt
keenly the attacks that had been made.
None OF the deputation ventured to make
any remark upon the unexpected re-
proaches.
The Empress Victoria has definitely
arranged to 60 to Windsor on the 11th
of November and thence to Italy,
returning to Germany in May. The
Princesses will accompany the Empress
to England, the family differences hav-
ing been finally arranged under the
management of Queen Victoria, who
has been in communication with EN-
peror William to effect a reconciliation
all around.

Mr.. BLAINE saws West's letter develo,

Mr.. BLAINE says Vests letter develops
1.-The true sentiments of England in this
contest" That is not apparent. 1t
develops Vests views as to Cleveland s
views as to retaliation. Vests letter
discloses no interest on the part of Eng
land or even on the part of West in
Cleveland or his party. 1t simply says
that West thinks Cleveland will settle
the fisheries difficulty in an amicable
manner. At the same time West says
it is impossible to predict what course
Cleveland may pursue in the matter. !"
There is absolutely not a jot OF interest
on the part OF West in Cleveland or his
party to be elected from the letter.

ONE OF the plainest Irishmen in this
city met the writer on the street yester-
day and said: "What a poor opinion
they have of US. Sure that letter was
written for no other purpose than to in
fuence the Irish vote. But there is
nothing in it. 1t will not catch man in
America. But like the way Cleveland
takes hold of the matter and demands
the recall OF the British Minister. Now
that is business, and think there are
votes in that; but they are for our side. -
This son OF Green Erin is pretty near the
truth.

THE WEST AFFAIR.
A Stir I'm Diplomatic Circles VESTS
ReCaIl Probable.

LONDON, October 27.-The West letter
incident has caused considerable stir in
diplomatic circles. Mr.. Phelps, United
States Minister, has gone to the Hatfield
House, Lord Salisbury's county residence
in Hertfordshire to see Lord Salisbury.
He called first at the Foreign Office, and
finding the Prime Minister gone, i'm
mediately followed him to his county
seat. 1t is said Lords Salisbury favors
the retirement of Sir Sackville West.
sACKvILLE VERY SORRY.
Lord Salisbury to-day received several
the British Minister at Washington, ad-
mitting the facts in connection with the
Murchison letters and saying he regretted
them. A number of dispatches from
forwaded i to Lord Lord SALISBURY, anyhsu "ehe in
which the Secretary urged that
in view OF the coming National
election in the United States it was i'm
peratively necessary that there shorld
be change in the British representative
at Washington, in order to calm popular
excitement. Mr.. Phelps. the American
Minister, and Lord Salisbury held con-
sultation, and Mr.. Phelps enlarged upon
the necessity OF prompt action on the
part OF the British government, in order
to repair the evil. Phelps made the
special point that by treating
Murchison as British subject entitled
to advice, despite the fact that he stated
in his letter that he was a naturalized
citizen of the United States, Sir Sack
vile had disregarded and violated the
understanding of September, 1871. Lord
Salisbury admitted that this was the
most serious point of view of Sir Sack
ville's conduct.
AMERICAN OFFICIALS RETICENT.
The officials of the United States Le-
cation are extremely reticent on the sub
lect OF the Sir Sackville West affair. Mr..
White, First Secretary of the Legation,
when questioned about the matter de-
clined to talk.
MERELY LONDON RUMoR.
WASHINGTON, October 27.-In reply to
an inquiry as to what steps have been
taken by this Government in regard to
the letter of the British Minister, Secre-
tary Bayard said to-day: "We simply
laid the facts at once, and as a matter of
course, before our Minister at the Court
OF st. James, to be communicated by
him to Her Majesty's Government"
In regard to cable dispatch of this
morning, stating that the report was cur
rent in London that Lord Salisbury favors
the recall of Lord Sackville West, the
Secretary said: "That is merely Lon
don rumor, OF which J. know nothing"

AND then, who knows but after all the
English manufacturers are at the bottom
OF the Munchison letter. 1t is known to
all intelligent men that they look with
the utmost alarm at the prospect of
cheaper raw material for American mills,
and dread that as the only thing likely
to interfere with their trade. Who
knows but all this affected interest in our
affairs is to prejudice the Irish vote and
thus elect the high protection party in
America, whose policy secures to English
goods the markets of the world. If
England has any interest in us that is it.

CHICAGO, October 27.-The Tribune
prints an extended account of the forma-
tion and development here of what is
known as the the Chicago, California
Park Colony. 1t alleges in substance
that r. R. Porter, constructor and
builder originated it. He visited Cali
tornia and negotiated with W. B. Hay
ford and Maurice Labner, real estate
agent at Colfax, and secured an option
on 5000 acres Of land near that place.
This was plated into town lots at $50
to $75 each, and acre property at SIS.
The situation. climate, ETC., were glow
ingly described and about 100 people have
been induced to buy and about $50, 900
cash was realized. A number of investors
claim they have been unable to secure
abstracts of title to their purchases, and
it appears now that land in the immediate
neighborhood is selling for So an acre.
Meanwhile nobody seems to know where
Porter is.

Several BuFglaries.

The burglars appear to be at work in
rather a lively manner. They entered
No. 612 Grand avenue last night when
the people, Mr.. w. D. Campbell and
Mrs. shugg we're away, and ransacked
the trunks and bureau drawers. They
we're disturbed by the return of the
people and left without taking anything
of value.
Mr.. L. Bishops room at No. 625 South
Fort street was burglarized while he was
away last night and several articles were
taken.
A coat was stolen during the evening
from clothing store in East Los Angeles.
A pair of blankets were stolen from a

evening. These cases were reported at
the police station and it was Thought
that the first two mentioned were the
work Of one set of men.

An Irishman over the age Of four score

cumulated a modest fortune, and was
about to die, called in the parish priest
and the family lawyer TO make his last
will and testament. The wife, q grasp

room. The preliminaries Of the will hav
ing been concluded, it became necessary
to inquire about the debts owing to the
estate. Among these were several of inn

in ignorance, but was nevertheless pleased
to find so much ready money would be

This is an old superstition OF the

old sailor, even in this advanced age, re-
