BLAINE IN NEW YORK.

The Uncrowued Talks to n Large Audi
euce at tho Polo Grounds.
New YORK, September 30.-There was
q great turnout of Republicans at the Polo
grounds last night. Hon. J. B. Foraker
was the first speaker. Before he had fin
ished there were cries of "Blaine" Here
comes Blainem and that gentleman sp-
peared on the platform. A scene of indie
scribable enthusiasm followed.
Mr.. Blaine was introduced. When Mr..
Blaine could be heerd he began his address
by commencing General Harrison's ere
markable ability in condensing a whole
argument within the dimensions of pro-
verb" The same had been true Of Frank
lin and of Lincoln. General Harrison's
reference to dog-matic free-traders as
students of msxims and not OF markets."
han exposed in u sentence the fallscy Of
their economic creed. Mr.. Blaine thsn
went into history, and his speech dealt en-
tirsly with the record of high tariff and low
tariff, and the relative effect Of each upon
the country, The various tariff measures,
from the first in 1889 down to the issues
OF 1874 between Clay and Polk, after
which the free trader, Robert j. Walker,
of Mississippi. became Secretary OF the
Treasury, and under whom the protective
tariff of 1912 was broken down, and the
free trade tariff of 1s4S was placed on the
statute books.
Mr.. Blaine's address was designed to
present historical sit nations analogous to
the present, and in each case his deduc-
tions were strongly in favor of the election
of Harrison and the defeat of Democratic
endeaypTs.

Special Correspondence Of The Register.
HUNTINGTON, W. VA, September 3O.-
There has been an unusual interest in poll
tics here this week, one Of the incidents
being the bolt of large number OF the
mechanics employed in the O. q o. K x.
shops from the Republican party irto the
Democratic fo!d. Mike Kincsid appears
TO be the leader in the bolt, and has
great personal influence with hls fellow
gorkmen. He has been great Repuoh-
can and has made o number OF republican
spt hes, and several appointments ahead
His bolt leaves the &. o. p sadly IN the
lurch.
The Republicans at first appeared to be
elatsd over the detection Of Gordon U BERN
from the Democrats, which was announced
a few days ago, but they are beginning TO
ace that he is a disturbing element wher-
ever he may happen to be, and ne Is,
therefore, not 80 valuable an accession rs
they would desire.
The Democracy of Cabell are in excellent
lighting condition and will elect the entire
county ticket and will largely increase
the vote Of the general ticket over that oil
1884.
The Republicans have made no nomina-
tiops. but are working the independe ut
dodge Their efforts will not avail now,
ever, as there is not single man OF meri,
smong the independent candidates, and
nat the slightest probability Of any one oi
them being elected.

W. & II. Walker, of this city, who has
been a lifelong Republican, has Topped to
Cleveland on the tariff reform issue and
subscribed IS, 900 to the Democratic CT n
psigu fund.
Mr.. Walker is brother OF John Walk
er, of Carnegie Phipps 4 Co, and was
himself at one time associated with Mr..
Carnegie in the ownership of the Wilson,
Walker & Co. mills. He is 10th to be
dragged into politics, and for that reason
has tried 10 keep the matter quiet. 1t
leaked out, however, through Postmaster
Lsrkin, who stated that prominent man
had Hoped and contributed the amount
mentioned. Investigation proved Mr..
Walker TO be the man. Postmaster Larkin
says he knows of an ex.city official who is
a staunch Republican and business man
here, who has also come ont for Cleye-
land. The National Committse, Mr.. Lar
kin says, is trying to secure the latter gen
tleman for the stump, but so far has not
been successful.
John Walker, Of Carnegie, Phipps q Co.,
supported Cleveland in 1894 against the
wishes of Mr.. Carnegie, bat this time ne
has deserted Cleveland, aud is for Harri-
sOn and protection. Hay Walker was
seen yesterday afternoon. He admitted his
flop to Cleveland, and also that he had
contributed to the Democratic fund, but
declined to give any figures or to discuss
the matter at all.

John E. Kenns, our distinguished United

in the opera house here last night. Not

great many country people remained in

about $50 persons were present, about 100

Yesterday afternoon. Ii is not necessary
to eulogizs Mr.. Kenns's oratory as he is
too we'll known TO need any introduction.
He illustrated the sll-sbsorbing tariff ques-
ton in his peculiarly convincing manner,
which no doubt viii have the desired ef-
feet. He created great deal of enthus-
iasm and elected the applause which his
able discourse merited.
Hon. ]. o. Pendleton was present and

sresch was called upon 10 make few re-
marks, assuring the people that at some
future time he would discuss the ques-
tions of the day more elsboraie'y, that

the enthusiasm that characterized the
Democracy of Lewis county, and that ne

CHICAGO, September 30.-The Daily
Trade Bulletin gives the following resume
of previous ''squeezss" in wheat On the
Chicago Board of Trade:
1S67.-On Msy 16 Of that year prices
reached 81 S5 for Nc. 2 spring, and the
market then wss described as being in q
few hands and condition without prece-
dsnt, but declined and closed at 81 10.
1S71.-In August of that year corn
er" was run during the first half of the
month, and the price advanced from 993c
to 81 20, but declined to 81 IA. Daring
the latter half of the month another at
tempt was made, bat the combination, al
ter advancing the price from 81 O2s to
81 80, sold ont on the last day, aud closed
at 81 109.
1s72-In August of that year prices were
advanced to $1.0l on an attempted
squeeze" or corner" this price being
reached on the 18th and held above 81 4S
through the 10Th, but on the following day
collapsed, sellug off to 81. 10 and closed at
$1.19.
1SSO-In that year 'correr" was run
IS early as May, the price being held the
entire month at III. .l2a1l9, and closed at
S114.
1sSl-Angust of that year witnessed a
corner" in which the price WAS advanced
from $1.19 to Sl.39, aud closed at the lat
ter figure.
1SS2-Was memorable year for cor
ners." One was run i'll April, when
prices ruled within SLAP the entire month,
aud closed at 81. AZ, though 81 81 was fixed
by committee as the settling price. In
June another CORNER" was run and prices
held within the range OF 81 25s1. 353, and
closed ut 81 35. In July the third cor
ner" was run, prices that month ranging
st 81 20@1 36, and closed at 81 36. In
September another and fourth corner
was run with prices ranging from s7c to
81 90, and closed at 81 0S. A curious
fact in connection with these CORNERS"
was that each one was run within 1Oc
range, showing there must have been
some systematical and arithmeticsl cipher
ing 10 bring about such uniform results.
18S7-In June Of that year an attempt
was made to corner" the market by
Cincinnati combination, and prices were
advanced from 8Osc to 94lc, but on the
18th the market collapsed for want of col
lateral, and prices declined until 68 was
reached on the 2lst.
II is six years since "corner" in wheat
wss successfully carried through to the
close of the month, with the exception OF
the present one, and little over syear since
an attempt to do so proved disastrous
failure.

INDIANAPOLIS, September 29.-SecTe'
tary Sheeran, of the national committee,
answering an attack of the Journal to-day
that Harrison's 81 day utterances, the
Democratic managers have publicly dis
owned their own bastard falsehoods, "
says:
"Eyery one in politics knows that the
stories about General Harrison have been
floating around among workingmen for
years, and that the workingman opposed
him years ago in his race for the Senate.
Early in the campaign the Journal col
lected O number Of these stories when
came to the surface at various points,
plscarded them as lies and offered rewards
for proof of them. The Knights of Labor
took up the gauntlet, submitted their
statements, ana offered to produce sworn
testimony before committee OF business
men, as proposed by the Journal Mr.
New, in his New York interview, then OBJ
jected to the statements because they were
not sworn 20, said the reward would be
paid if sworn statement was made by
any reputable citizen, and chat he would
arrest such sffisnt for perjury at once. The
Knights then offered the affidavit of MIR.
Schwartz to meet this new opposition.
NOW the Journal comes forward with
new proposition entirely. 1t proposes
that Messrs. ,Jswett, Taggart and myself,
none of whom were present at the meeting,
shall make the charge, and that the
Knights OF Labor, with whom 1t has been
contendiug shall be laid to one side. We
shall pay no more attention to this third
proposal than We did to the first and
second. 1t is not our fight. TIE Journal
made its offers, and it has received its
ans wers. 1t will have TO get out of its
dilemma as best it can. If it did not
mean to stand by the first and second
propositions it made, it should not have
made them.
