TALLY us follows:

something more to say on that point, for
have learned something since last spoke
on that.
WHO THE FAvORITEs WERE.
Not only have they taken $50, 600 900
and loaned it to pet houses in the United
States, but they haye done it through the
agency of bank established by Mr.. Jor-
dan and by the late Mr.. Naming. They
have made them sort OF government
bureau. They gave them $4,000 as
fixed balance to call their
own and then have allowed
them to peddle out this S60,000 900 Of
dollars to the other banks, and by that
means tried to get large numb of banks
throughout the country to give them their
entire business, and | say here that Louis
Xiv of France, or Frederick the Great.
or Napoleon, at the most absolute period
of their power, would never have dared
to treat the treasury OF their respective
countries in that way--never. Cheers.
And wonder that it has not made more
profound sensation in this couity. They
have said such papers as the New York
Times and Evening Post, that Secretary
Sherman did the same. Well, | have
been denying that a good while. and this
morning | read speech from Secretary
Sherman himself. and he explained ex-
actly the difference. When 'Secretary
Sherman made that marvellous loan OF 4
per cents iu 1879, they were sold through
the banks and paid for at the bank 8
counters. The money was merely in
transit between those who paid for fours
and the man who got his pay for the sur
rendered ives and skies. But these men
haye taken money from the treasury
against avery provision of law. They
have dipped in their hands up to their
elbows and helped their friends. The
most corrupt thing you can conceive OF is
to take the money of the government and
give it to the banks who can use it--use
their influence for the party in power
AFALsE ACCUSATION.
saw, to my regret, in paper the ac-
cusation made that the extr idition treaty
had been Injuriously amended by the re-
publican committee ana reported to the
senate by republicans. state positively,
and state of my own knowledge, that
there is not one particle OF foundation for
that allegation, and, like the fishery
treaty. which surrendered our rights in
the fisheries. this extradition treaty was
supported in the senate by the democratic
senators and by them alone" Applause. !
Referring to the republican parade which
ne witnessed to-day, Mr.. Blaine said:
at was the most mighty political process
sion that ever trod the streest of New
York applause and compared with
that which the president of the United
States came here last week to review
why that was picket guard merely
to the republican army, and gentlemen.
that procession is a prophet. 1t means
that the people of New York are drawn,
not on old party lines, not on old-fash-
ioned fight between the democrats and re-
publicans, but a fight between protection
lists and ti.protectionists; fight be-
tween protection and free trade" Pro-
longed cheers.
Before the people were dismissed this
telegram was read
Indianapolis, Nov. 3. w. II. Gray,
Brooklyn, N. Y. Plese express to the Irish
Americen Protectionist Association in
Brooklyn, N. Y, sincere thanks for their
cordial greeting and hopeful prophesies.
Independence OF spirit and devotion to the
principle which they have shown in this
campaign have been as conspicuous as
they are creditable to their intelligence and
manhood.
Signed, BENJAMIN HARRISON.
Two MORE SPEECHES.
After this meeting, Blaine was driven
to the mass meeting in Grand Army hall.
in the Eastern district of Brooklyn, where
he made short speech, saying iD part:
1--WE must stand together in this election.
This union carries the flag of the union
instead of the dirty bandana, for. without
disrespect to the candidate for vice-presi-
dent, think one of the most extraordina-
ry campaign badges is pocket handker-
