NEw YoRE, Nov. 4.-When seen ut his
residence in Madison avenue, ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland gave his opinion
OF the result OF Tuesdays election rs
follows: "Oi course every one has the
right to put his own construction upon
the result and am not anxious to OBJ
trude my ideas, but it seems to me
something ought to bo no longer doubt
full.
"Any man who still thinks that tariff
reform is settled and obsolete issue, or
that the Importance OF sound and safe
money is question upon which the
people can be blinded, is either wiliul-
ly wrong or dangerously dull.
1T seems TO Inc that Democrats ought
to be satisfied that 4 staunCh adherence
to the principal OF the party does not
require the abuse OF those who show
an inclination to help us.
Il very much regret the defeat OF
Governor Campbell, lie has been Il
brave and honest official. This and the
splendid canvass he made entitled hin.
to success. While the election OF
Flower, Russell and Boise ought to
cause the utmost rejoicing among Dem
ocrats, they should not forget that with
these things come the obligation to be
true to the people, honest to the advo-
cacy OF our principles and decent in all
things.n

Tho inwarlncss OF :lrc Maverick Bank
Matter Coming Out.
BosToS, MASS, Nov. 4.-The Journal
says: There is nothing in the affairs OF
the Maverick national bank OF which
the clearing house OF the Boston asso-
ciated banks has not been fully ad-
vised. The committee has guarded
every point. 1t arranged that Mr. T. ?.
Bcale should be the receiver for well
considered reasons. The facts regard
ing the loans OF the bank have been in
possession OF the comptroller OF the
currency since last January, and it is
now iptimatcd that another
comptroller is likely to be ap-
pointed before long. The general
loan account outside OF the S2,IG0,O00
due from directors and tho Evans loss
is good and shows good judgment and
careful banking. Although the Nav
erick Bank has hcen known rs spec
ulativc bank, no one outside OF Mr..
Evans and the bankdircctoH could have
imagined the eXtrntof the spcculations.
1t is now not to be wondered at
that when the death. OF Evans was an
nounced that President Potter in tho
directors room, should have physically
collapsed; but it is wonder, in tho
light OF present revelations, that he
should for SO many days have patched
up affairs and stemmed tho current.

In Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD, H., Nov. 4.-Dr. Lin
dahl, state geoloGist, has made the dis
covery that there is plenty OF raw ma
tcrial in Illinois for the manufacture OF
glazed earthcnwarc OF several varieties

The kaolin, or porcelain clay, exists
in large quantities in Southern Illinois,
particularly that section OF tho state in
the vicinity OF Union county.
A few weeks ago DR.. Lindahl was at
Anna, Union county, and procured a
small sample OF kaohn and forwarded
it TO friend in Sweden. He received
reply from this irienc, Professor Aim
strom, in the shape OF 4 small, we'll
finished, white dish, made from mix
ture containing 81 per cent OF Lindahls
sample, the balance being plastic clay
and ieldspar and quartz. Mr.. A!mstrom
expresses a desire to make from Illinois
clay set OF tableware ior exhibition ut
the Worlds Fair, and DR.. Lindahl will
send him the necessary kaolin, plastic
clay and other material.
DIR. Lindahl says it will be demon-
strated that there exists in Illinois prac-
tically all OF the raw material for tho
manufacture OF faicncc OF a high grade.
The plastic clay is found in large guam

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 4.-Thc Enquirer
Democrat) will say substantially in its
editorial tomorrow:
The Republican papers are too last in
exploiting tho election OF Major Nc
kinley as 4 triumph for the principle OF
protection, since tho Majors campaign
was not conspicuous in promoting
high tariff, and since Senator
Sherman made the silver questions
very prominent and declared the issue
OF honest money to be rs hot as IN
days when the Democratic party was
much given to the grecnback the
ory. Senator Sherman set the
pace in this matter for AIcKin-
ley, Foraker, Foster and all the
other Republican leaders and the Dem
ocratic candidate ior governor and Dem
ocratic stuinpers generally wcre cou-
stantly challenged to disport themselves
on the currency. The Republican
journalists, before they came TO the con-
clusion that the tariff did it all, should
consult Mr.. Sherman, who appears
to be the real Republican
leader in Ohio, and who did more than
any other man to give form and shape
to tho Republican canvass and who
made the most OF tho money scare.
Another element quite as important as
anything else in shaping the result was
dissension in tho Democratic party
growing out OF differences Of opinion as
to the best political leaders.

BRIGGS INDICATED.
The New York Presbytery Dis
misses the Charge of Heresy
AGAINST THE NOTED PROFESSOR,
And Famous Case Which has
Stirred Religious Circles for so long
Is Unexpectedly Brought to Close.
The Motion was Greeted With
laughter, but It Passed by a Good
Majority.

New YoEK, Nov. 4.-The New York
Prcsbytery assembled at 10 o'clock this
morning in the Scotch Presbyterian
Church on Fourteenth strectncar Sixth
avenue, for the purpose OF beginning
the trial OF Prof. Charles A. Briggs on
tho charge OF hercsy, based upon tho
language used by him in his inaugural
address in Union Theological seminary.
DR.. John @. Bliss presided as modera-
tor and called the presbytery to order.
There is u full attendance. Dr. Briggs,
it is understood, will conduct his own
defense. One Of the chief charges
against DR.. Briggs is that he disputes
the incrrancy OF the Bible.
Tho professor read paper objectinS
to the form OF charges preferred, stat.
ing that the report OF the committee
which formulated the indictment
against him charges oiicnscs which are
not now proposed for trial. The com.
mittce charges him with uttcring doc.
trinal teaching respecting the miracles,
original condition OF man, etc., with
M MSue ettNa.PiAS W piONc tilc CulIs sc.
This, DR.. Briggs said, did him great
Injustice, and was apt to prejudice the
decision Of the members. He said if he
had caused widespread anxiety in the
church he was sorry, but in his con-
science he felt no guilt rs regards dis
turbing the peace and harmony OF the
church. lie further added that the
charges were general and obscure and
irregular in form throughout. There is
nothing in the specifications that can
be tested by the defendant. He ad-
mittcd the excerpt from his address
made on the occasion OF his inaugural
tion as professor OF biblical theology in
Union Theology seminary.
The facts relied upon to sustain the
charges are missing in the indictment.
As for instance there was nothing 10
deny that ''the Bible as book is
paper, print and binding, nothing
more. 1t is entitled to revcrent hand
ling because it contained the divine
word of redemption for man and not
for any other reason whatever"
He said also that the indictment con-
tains insinuation wholly unwarrantcd.

trines conflicting with the holy scrip

Mckinley's gain was largely in towns
