der the auspices of the exchanges
and business mems Democratic associ-
ations. the speakers being Gov. Hill. j,

nomination. The mayor made a Wig
orous speech. showing the dangers of
ring rule in this city, and Rev. Howard
James c. Carter, president of the bar
association. Morris K. Jessup and 9th

Union square, and also paraded
the streets. The Republicans held
no meetings in this city, but
had monster tOrchlight parade of
Kings county Republican clubs in
Brooklyn, in which it was claimed that
$4,000 men participated. The parade

Hon. J. W. Hustled, and other leading

The Republicans of Harlem also held a
big parade and series of meetings.
The Henry George single tax people
filled the Cooper union, and were adj
dressed by Mr.. George, William Lloyd
Garrison, Rev. Hugh 0. PentecOst.
Louis F. Post and w. T. Croasdale, all
in support of Cleveland and Thur
man. Hon. Thomas +. Bayard adj.
dressed a Democratic clubs meet
ing at the rink in Brooklyn. His
speech was upon the same lines as
the one he delivered in Baltimore last
night. Mr.. Bayard near the close of his
speech referred to the Mnrchison let
ter. He said: ITO what small prac-
tees has once great party sunk.
There is one resort, one last card to be
played by
THE POLITICAL. GAMBLER.
Macauley once said that John Wilkes
was so ugly man that the attempts to
caricature him made him actually bet
ter looking. There are some things so
detestable to decent and manly minds
that if you attempt to alter them their
detestablenesS actually becomss less.
There is one moral monstrosity
that in the last few days
has been sought to be played
in this campaign to which must refer.
l refer to that piece of political ingenu-
ity called the MurchisOn letter. Had
there been such a person as Murchison
describes himself to be, confessed and
perjured traitor to the great republic
that he had sworn to bear true allie
glance toward, who. if he took
the oath of citizenship, took it
with the intent of perjury in his heart,
and whose title and citizenship could
only have been obtained 10y the abuse
Of the generous laws of the people of
the United States, who should not be
surprised that such crimes are COM
mitted because we have penitentia-
ries in which such persons ought to
be found, and sometimes are. But
there was no such person, and it in
volved upon the party that once boosted
itself as party of moral ideas to pro-
tect and promote the work of the dis
honest man. Thus was the falsehoed
clothed in
THE CARE OF PERJURY
and it laid siege to gullibIity with alb
soiute success But Macaniey goes
further in describing John Wilkes and
speaks of the infamous book which he
wrote and which was taken up. by the
British government and laid be-
fore the house of commons by
means which were absolutely de-
structiye to the laws and liberties of En-
gland; that as bad and Infamous as was
the book of Wilkes, the methods of the
government were even worse. because
to strike at his book, or to punish him.
they would overthrow the principles OF
law and liberty and bring disgrace
upon the government under which
they lived. l. ask you has not
this been done by the man or the
meeting of men In regard to the concoc-
ton, the publication and the discussion
of the Murchison letter. L ask you
whether it is not worse than the act of
Murchison himself.
WHY IS THIS CRIME SPREAD?
They know how it was concocted and
they say they don't care if it was.
They Joke about it. One distinguished
gentleman has said that it ''let the cat
out of the bag" and so he can be jo-
cosp, jocoSe about ain act of perjury and
/ tell yoli, gentlemen, that the
poor wretch might have done it for money
or spite, of for some purpose selfish
to himself, but there are eases in which
the receiver is not only as bad but
worse than the thief. and this is one of
them. How can honest and fair men
grow joeose and chuckie and rejoice
over that which brings shame upon
American politics everywhere. / beg
to add another item to your labor in the
and that is TO stamp
everywhere publicly, privately, polite
ally and personally with contempt and
Indignation all such schemes of inter-
ference and triekery which tend to
lower the character of the American
people in their own eyes and in the
ewes of all civilized men. 1t has seemed
to me there is no document that |
would regard so potent to promote the
election of Grover Cleveland. Wash
iugton. in his farewell address to his
countrymen. speaking almost from the
grave, said that morality
COULD NOT BE DIVORCED
from the government of the republic
without its fall. | trust that no man
who will Joke at crimes and encourage
their commission for political results
will be tolerated. Yoa cannot tell a po-
Iitical lie without as much danger of
living privately. That letter. more
over. contains in itself foul libel
rpon the intelligent citizens of
English origin. and it is an insult to the
citizens of Irish origin. We have en-
l,arked all that we have in this great
land: I believe we can progress higher
and higher, but we must not stOop to
human violence for the purpose of in
terfering with the destinies of such
nation as this If we worship an image
let it he the image of iiberty-liberty
enligltening the world--and let us not
take "Jim the Penman.
DIED OF REMORSE.
