P0WDERLY'S POSITION.
The Great Knights Of Labor
Leader is for Protection.
HE WRITES A STRONG LETTER
In which He says He would go Even
Further than tho Republicans.
He sNeutraI in the Campaign,
Owing to His IL. OIL. Office.

PlTTsBuRG, Pa, Oct, 2G,-Secretar,
Cake, OF the Window Glass Worker
Association, gave out portion Of tn
private letter he received from Terrenc
v. Powderly, in which the latter declared
himself Protectionist. Mr.. Cake say
that the letter was written in answer t
one which National District Assembly
No. 300, had sent to the General Maste
Workman asking for an opinion as t.
the legality Of their course in placing
speakers in the field to advocate the
cause of Protection during the present
campaign. The following are the ex
cerpts from the letter which Mr.. Cake
gave out to-day:
mo explanation is necessary us to the
course taken by Local Assembly No. 800
If the members think they are right,
that is sufficient for me, SO long as the
action does not interfere with the work.
ing OF the Assembly. have not ques-
toned the counsel taken by your mem
bers, and ! regret that they should deem
an explanation necessary after all have
written on thisquestion. Let me say an
assuring word as TO my course in this
campaign: l am not free to advocate
either party and have not done
80 by word, act or intimation.
You are at perfect liberty to
denounce nc through the press OF this
country the moment you catch any trace
OF my fingers in this campaign except it
be for some well known friend of labor.
! believe in Protection and have never
bought single article made across the
ocean. II is my invariablc practice to
ask where the article WIS manufactured
before purchased it. II cannot get
the home made article will wait until
| can, II Protection is what is Fimed at,
why are steps being taken to lower the
tariff by both parties? Why is the dif-
ference between the two bills now be-
fore the National legislature but a little
over five million dollars2 l may be
wrong as to the figures, us / have to de-
pend upon reports, not having seen the
Senate bill. | would not allow single
article to lind that We can manufacture
ourselves. l would not allow any
workmen to come over and take
the place OF our own workmen. l am
u Protectionist, and in many respects
differ from those who arc preaching
Protection in this campaign. Were it
not Tor the labor organizations there
would be no protection for the man who
works. Were it not for the grand and
well disciplined l.. A. 800, the wages
and the glass-workers so proudly and
justly boast Of would not be known.
These things are facts, and yet I am ac-
cused OF Partially for the Democratic
party. / am neutral in this campaign
and intend to remain so until election
day. Yours fraternally.

a Remarkable Case In Iowa whIch is
PunlinG Doctors.
DUDuQuE, Iowa, Oct. 26.-Four or FIVE
months ago, George Lucas, a young man
of this city, shot himself in the head
with revolver, the ball entered the
frontal lobe OF the brain just above the
centre of his forehead. Contrary to all
expectations, he recovered after several
weeks prostration and for two months
past has been around apparently as well
mentally and physically us he ever was.
The wound discharged matter for some
time, but finally healed up. Yesterday
while walking on the street he fell in u
fit which was followed by comatose
condition. When reused from this he
had a renewal Of commissions. The case
is one of the most extraordinary on re-
cord, aud is watched with great interest
by the medical profession. The bullet is
undoubtedly in the mans brain and how
he has managed to live up to this time is
a mystery. The doctors think his death
is near at hand.

Special Dispatch to The LntaliGelncr.
New York, Oct. 2G.-The Democratic
free traders have been attempting to
make all the capital they could out Of
anything that looked Ikea scmblance OF
free trade in the Senate Tariff bill. They
have been plastering the country all
over with stories to the effect that one
OF the clauses in Senator Allison's tariff
bill reduces the duty on fine cigars one
dollar per thousand. They have sue
Ceeded to a limited extent in agitating
some members Of the cigarmakers union
on the subject. 1t was not until to-day
this trick OF the Democrats was discov-
cred. The fact is just the reverse. The
Senate tariff bill instead Of reducing the
duty on fine cigars increases it sixteen
dollars per thousand, IN, .

THE CRY OF ~ST0P, THIEF"
Raised by the Democrats to Divert Attel
tIOn from Them,

Raised by the Democrats TO Divert Alton
tIon from Them.
The Register persists in statements that
Chairman Cowden has been dispensing
Doodle to the Republicans. These state
ments arc entirely untrue. The Register
never had any reason to believe them
true, and does not believe them true.
These stories are started to divert atten-
ton from the Democratic operations in
"boodle." The authorities OF that party
realize that West Virginia is lost to
them, and they are trying to buy it
back. The West Virginia Democracy
is allotted large sum of the money
contributed by ofiiceholders, Jay
Gould, the Standard Oil Com.
pany and other trusts. OF this
sum $4,000 was sent to Parkers-
burg and received there. Cabell
county got Sl,100. These facts are
not only known to be facts; they are
susceptible Of proof. The Register may
not know them; for it is evidently not
in the confidence OF the Democratic
managers. Nevertheless this money has
been received, and is being used in some
cases TO buy back Democrats converted
to the Protection side. II the faithful
Democratic workers who give their time
and energy 10 their party do not get
their share OF the "boodle," it is their
own fault. They are entitled TO it, and
| it is there to be given out,

New YoRK, Oct. 26.-Agents of tic
Democratic National Committee arc
training large number of shrewd ieI,
lows in trick which, it is. hoped, will
result.+in the casting of good many
fraudulent votes for the Democratic
ticket. The plan is to have several
Democrats in every New York City eleC.
ton district go to the polls early and
claim to be citizens OF the district who
have previously registered. They will
then vote, If they are not detected, and
II the Democrats are able to control the
supervising officers OF election they will
not be detected. When the person who is
lawfully registered and is entitled to the
ballot comes 1t will be seen that the vote
has already been cast for him, and appa-
rently there will be no redress, particu.

A prominent Democratic politician
from Wheeling was sent on tour
through Pittsburgh, McKeesport and
vicinity to drum up the old Wheeling
residents hereabouts and pay their way
back to that city to vote. He came here
yesterday and had a list of fifteen good
and genuine old Democrats whom he
fouad to be working in the National
Rolling mill. He called on them and
found that twelve OF them had come to
be good and genuine Republicans and
have no notion to go back to the Demo-
cratic husks. He did not stay long and,
as the expected invoice was SO small, he
probably made no arrangements for tho
remaining three voters. Some OF the
tariff boys may yet succeed in convert
