center such a vessel was absolutely open
and in no respect superior to the fishing
craft and other light coasting vessels of
today. That men should have been
willing to dare the passage of the
stormy Atlantic in such craft gives us a
high idea of their courage, and as a
matter of fact only Columbus. Las
Casas, the Pinzons and two or three
other mad enthusiasts were willing.
The crew consisted chiefly of desperate
characters compelled to take the trip.
Many were released from prison to go.
and some had been condemned to death
and volunteered as a bare chance for life.
Our establishment is but slightly miti-
gated when we read that Columbus did
not ask for large vessels, for there were
many in the Spanish ports larger than
these. He firmly believed that the
voyage would be comparatively short
md the sea where he was going always
smooth, and he particularly requested
such vessels as would enable him to run
close in along the shores and sail up the
rivers. On his third voyage. when he
actually reached South America, he
complained of the size of his vessel.
which rendered coas exploration diff
cult.
The Spanish authorities declare that
the Santa Maria of 1892 Is an exact re-
production in every detail of that of
l492. 1t has the same old fashioned
shape. the same primitive masts, rig
gings and sails. and aver the same ar
mament of falconets and mortars, hal.
herds and arqnebuses. The cabin of the
commander is furnished in the style of
the Fifteenth century. and its table Is

tical Instruments of the period. Final

an excellent crew, obtained from among

At the opening of the Spanish fetes.
on Aug. B, the war vessels of all nations
were at Huelva to salute the new Santa
Maria on her first voyage down the river.
and her entrance into the Bay of Cadiz
was greeted by deafening salvos. As
there was almost a dead calm, however

He Opens the Campaign in Iowa With an
And-Tarif Speech.
CARROLL, la, Sept 15.-Governor Hor-
ace Boies, whose Presidential chances were
temporarily postponed at the Chicago Con-
vention, opened the national campaign in
Iowa to-day in the most vigorous fashion
for Cleveland and Stevenson. The Gov
ernor had an immense audience, and his ap-
pearance on the speakers stand was the
signal for a remarkable outburst of cheer
ing.
In the course of his speech, which was
enthusiastically punctuated with cheers,
the Governor said: "Why was the surplus
of SS3, 000, 900 in the Treasury dissipated as it
has been done? Because it stood in the wav
of protective tariff. The Two could not exist
together. One or the other must disappear.
But our friends say this protective tariff is
made for the benefit of the laboring men.
All that the tax Is intended to do is to
equalize the difference between the wages
of American workmen and the pauper labor
of Europe. When it was under considera-
tion it was not the laboring man who ap-
peared at the Capital of this nation and
asked to have it passed. Hundreds, if not
thousands of manufacturers, with the ablest
attorneys they could employ, did so appear.
1t has now been in force for two whole
years Has it allayed the struggle or
lessened the contest between capital and
labor? Let Homestead answer"

an enthusiastic audience which cheered it.
self hoarse before the evening was over.
Judge Allen B. Morse, nominee of the
Michigan Democracy for Governor, was the
first speaker. 1t was some time before he
could commence his speech because of the
intense enthusiasm. He touched at length
upon the leading political questions of the
campaign, both State and national, and ar
raigned the Republican party for what 1t
had and what it had not done. In closing
he advised the young Democrats at the COM
ing election to choose between the parties
which are representative of Alexan der
Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. and vote
the ticket put up by that of Jefferson.
The next speaker was Congressman Asher
G. Caruth, OF Kentucky. He spoke elo-
quently and kept the audience in an uproar
with the witty stories and sallies with
which he punctuated his address. 1t was in
part as follows:
don't know the local issues which di vide
you people, but am no stranger TO the i'm
portant issues that are now presented be-
fore the American nation. The question of

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
PETERSBURG, VA, Sept ia recon-
ciliation between ex-Congressman j ames
D. Brady and ex-Congressman John NJ.
Laneston, who have been political oppon-
ents for some time, was effected last night,
when Langston met Colonel Brady and his
friends at the Custom House in this city.
Langston told THE DISPATCH correspond
ent, tonight, that he was treated with the
utmost courtesy by all, and especially by
Colonel Brady himself.
Langston said he would bring Colonel
Brady in full accord with him as to the
plan on which certain Congressional con-
ventions, nominations and campaigns, so
far as the Republican party is concerned in
this State, should be conducted, and the
necessary arrangement for the earnest and
vigorous management of the State
campaign in order for the success
of the Republican party in the
State Langston said that while
1t was true that his frinds, white and col
ored, seemed determinedto put him In NOM
inatiou for the Fifty-third Congress from
this district, he was ready for any self-sac-
ri6ce on his part which seemed to be nee
esssry to secure the Republican party the
full strength of the Republican vote of this
district, in order to secure beyond perad-
venture the electoral vote of Virginia for
Harrison and Reid.
Langston has a plan which he will sub
NIT next week to the National Republican
Committee, upon the adoption of which, he
claims, four Republican Congressman can
be elected and the electoral ticket of the
State carried for the nominees of the Re-
publican party. About the general char
acter of this plan Langston declined to
talk.
1t is reported here to-day that General
Malone has issued circulars against making
nominations in any Congressional district
in the State. so far as the Republican party
is concerned
