The Ex-President's Peculiar Speech
at New York Banquet.

NEW YORK, November 1S.-The 122d an.
nual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce
was held at Delmonico's this evening. Presi-
dent Charles S. Smith presided. Among the
200 persons present were Grover Cleveland.
George William Curtis, Chauncey M. Depew,
George William Curtis finished his speech
late in the evening. Then loud cries arose
for Cleveland. The latter was very averse
to saying anything but finally rose to quiet
the din. He made sensational speech as
he replied to what Mr.. Depew stated in the
prelude of his speech. Mr.. Depew mention
ed that Congressman Springer had at the
Thurman banquet nominated Cleveland for
the next President. Mr.. Depew then said
he hoped his party would nominate the
champion of reciprocity. James G. Blaine.
Mr.. Cleveland said: "This volunteer business
did not calculate upon. l don't believe it
devolves upon me to. thank yon for your
courtesy. | don't believe when people are
surrounded by sweet music they should
shoot off blunderbuss. | shall go home

Tory Papers Join In a Chorus OF Bit
ter Denunclatlon.

LONDON, November 1s.-Mr Quilter, edi-
tor Of the Universal Review, has an article
in that publication, on the Stanley contrc-
versy, which has attracted much attention.
Mr.. Quilter says he has been especially in
formed that JamesOn's diary and private let
ters were placed In box by BOnny. after
Jameson's death. The box, after being
sealed up by BOnny, was confded to Stanley
Instead Of forwarding the box to Jameson's
family. Stanley broke the seals, opened the
box and retained the papers. The family
commenced legal proceedings, whereupon
Stanley delivered the papers to the care OF
the Ottoman Bank, from which they were
received by the family. Stanley made ex
tracts from the diary before handing 1t over
to the Ottoman Bank. Quilter traces the
original stories against BarttelOt and jane
son TO BOnny, who, he says, acted as tale
bearer in general to the camp.

have conspired together to commit this
crime then those two are guilty and the
others are not The statutes bearing on the
matter Of registration were then read and
explained.
The jury were instructed that the asses
sOrs' lists were not official lists, being mere
ly memoranda furnished for the convenience
OF the aldermen. The aldermen were re-
quired TO make list; not to attest 10 the ac-
curaey of the assessors list, but to make
list for themselves on or before August 11th.
They were further instructed that all Of the
steps taken together constituted the act Oh
registration and 1t is not completed until 0
p. m. on the secular day before election. IL
follows therefore that some one step wrong
fully taken may render the officers liable to
severe punishment, and yet the careless or
incomplete performance Of some one step
should not be taken as evidence of an intent
to commit crime. Coming to the question
of naturalized voters Judge Webb said that
the record Of naturalizations and not the old
voting lists Of previous years forme the
basis for action. II in that book it appeared
that the applicant was naturalized In a COM
petent court he should be placed on the new
list; not If he had been on the list In some
other year.
In summing up the court reiterated the
direction that at least two Of the defendants
must be found guilty for the purposes Of the
Indictment, and that not all, but some Of
the nine men alleged In the indictment were
unlawfully registered.
He next considered the phrase "wilfully
and knowingly" saying that he agreed with
the counsel for the defence that it must COM
prehend corrupt and wrongful motive. In
assuming to read a mans springs Of action
his actions and words must be taken as the
indexes of those intentions. In assuming to
Judge this, all of the mans knowledge In the
premises must be taken into account. The
coincident circumstances must be consider
ed In forming a verdict He instructed the
foreman that 1t was competent for the jury
to hnd two or three or four, or all or none,
guilty, of the whole indictment or Of parts
of it according to their rendering Of the evi-
denee. He instructed the jury that the Bid
deford court was not court having author
ity to naturalze or to receive declarations Of
Intentions. Concerning the Saco court he
said that so far as he knew no higher court
had ever passed upon that.
42O the jury retired taking with them
she volumlnous evidence that had accumu-
lated during the progress Of the case. They
were out until $50 when they filed into the
room again and took their seats. Clerk
Davis pOlled the jurors and then inquired Of
the foreman whether they had agreed upon
n vardiot NJ WabafoId tho foraman ra-
piled that they had. and then In answer to
the names Of the defendants replied "not
g1ilty" In each case. The jury were dis
charged.
Mr.. Dyer requested that the defendants be
ordered TO recognize IL the sum Of $1,000 each
for their appearance at the next term Of
court to answer to further indictments and
they were so ordered. The five defendants
personally recognized in $1,000 each, as did
Aldermen West and Simpson.
