THE MAINE MAN.
Mills and Fairchild Have Made
film Desperate.
New ALBANY, Ind, October 15.-In-
clement weather interfered somewhat
with the demonstration here over the ar
rival of Hon. James G. Blaine, General
A. P. Hovey, Corporal Tanner, General
Adam E. King and A. Snowden. To-
ward noon the rain abated, and thou
sands of visitors from Louisville, KY,
Jeffersonville, Charleston, Madison,
Corydon and other neighboring points,
tramped about the muddy streets. At 8
O'Clock Blaine and General Hovey held a
public reception at the Windsor Hotel,
around which several thousand people
clamored. After shaking hands for an
hour, Blaine thanked the assemblage for
the cordial welcome extended to
General Hovey and himself,
and returned to ex.Congress-
man Culberson's residence, where he re.
ceived many callers during the day.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable condi-
tions the street parade in the afternoon
was declared by the citizens to be the
largest and most imposing demonstration
in the history of the city. Blaine re-
viewed the procession from the balcony
of Mr.. Culberson's residence. General
Hovey and Corporal Tanner reviewed
them coming down town. The process
sion was forty minutes in passing. Sew
eral thousand marchers were in line. A
mass meeting was held at which it is es-
timated that from 1000 to 1900 people
were present. Blaine arrived at go
and was given an ovation. He was in
good voice and spoke substantially as
follows:
MR.. MILLS EVOKED THIS HOWL.
Mr.. CHAIRMAN-Last Wednesday, at
Goshen, Ind, I stated that Mr.. Have.
meyer, President of the Sugar Trust, had
appeared before the Ways and Means
Committee when the Tariff bill was up,
and, according to Senator Allison, had &C.
cured an arrangement by which $6 1000. 900
were put into the pockets Of that trust
Mr.. Mills, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, in a special card
printed this morning in the Louisville
papers, denies that Havemeyer ever ap-
peared before the Committee, or thatany
such arrangement as 1 have spoken of
was made for his benefit. do not
know what Mr.. Mills means by this de-
nial, unless it is that Havemeyer never
appeared before the full Committee when
in regular session. If he means that he
did not appear before members of the
Committee in the Committee room, then
he is contradicted, not by myself, but by
the Congressional Record. On page 6,503,
of the Congressional Record for the cur
rent session, issued on July 10th, de-
bate is reported in which Breckenridge,
of Arkansas, member OF the Ways and
Means Committee, admitted that he had
invited Havemeyer and his attorney to
the room of the Committee of Ways
and Means, on the 18th of April, to talk
of the sugar tariff, and Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, another member of the Ways
met Havemeyer and his attorney at
another time, All that stated is SUBJ
stantiated by what I now quote, and in
changed from No. 13 originally reported
and printed in the Tariff bill, to No. 16,
as reported by the Ways and Means
Committee and passed by the House,
and it is in this change that Senator
Allison finds six million dollars placed
by Mills committee in the pockets of the
Trust.
I may take Mr.. Mills denial, if he
chooses, that Havemeyer never appeared
before him, but there were two members
of the Ways and Means Committee, who
openly acknowledge that they heard, not
only Havemeyer, but his attorney, and
his attorney is skilled in every feature of
the sugar tariff, and not only knew what
points were advantageous to the
Government, but also knew
still further what points were advanta-
geous to the Trust. The latter points
seem to have been adopted by the Ways
and Means Committee, though perhaps
Mr.. Mills did not know it. Laughter
and cheers.
FAIRCHILD STIRRED HIM UP.
| also find in the papers to-day the re-
port of a Democratic meeting in New
| York, before which Mr.. Fairchild, Sec
retary of the Treasury, appeared to de.
fend his policy Of loaning $60. 600, 900 OF
the peoples money to certain pet banks
without interest. His defense consists
chiefly in proving that overstated the
amount these banks could make
out of that transaction. He says
that / calculated interest on the whole
$50, 900 ,G90, whereas the banks are COM
PEELED to keep 25 per cent. in their
vaults. Poor banksl what hardships
they have to endure. Laughter and
cheers.]i I&hink Mr.. Fairc1ild's answer
is positively amusing and it recalls to me
/ the soliloquy of the man who drew a
$40, 900 prize in the lottery few years
ego when the habit was to dedsct Is per
cent. before paying the amount. Chow
lucky it was" he said, "that did not
draw 1000, it would have ruined me to
pay the premium. Laughter and
cheers Mr.. Fairchild does not
frankly and manfully confront
the issue. He does not state to
the people how the banks could afford to
buy Government bonds when the Gov
Iernment itself could not afford it. If il
Was an advantageous proceeding fol
these banks to invest $G0, ,OO0, GOO in
Government bonds, why was it not still
more advantageous for the Government
to do it7 [Chsers-] ] press this ques
