Willard last evening MIR. Cleveland said,
among other things, that he was deeply
gratified at he lncessant and devoted labor
for Democratic success in the canvass just
closed OF his friends assembled; that he
could not forget that these efforts had
been characterized by personal friendship
and attachment for the Democratic candi-
dates; that he realized most painfully the
responsibility he had assumed; that the
campaign was only just begun, for the
Democratic party was in full control Of
the govern ment, and to do its duty must
make good Its promises to the people.

My belief in our principles and my
faith in our party constitute my trust that
we shall answer the expectations of our
countrymep, and shall raise aloft the
standard of true Democracy, to fix the
gaze for many years TO come OF prosper
Gus, happy and contented people"

Faee LUNCH POLITICS.

LONDON, Nov. 1S-Iu the last general
election the parliamentary borough OF
Walsaii was contested by Frank James,
Conservative, and Edward I. Holden,
Gladstonian. The former was elected
By majority of 3l7. The Liberals
charged that James secured his election by
wholesale bribery, and presented peti.
tiou asking the court to anseat him. The
court decided that the proof OF corruption
WAS complete, and James return was
therefore declared invalid Free and un-
limited drinks and free smoking concerts,
at which some sixty electors were each
credited with swallowing seven pints OF
beer at the expense OF James. the Con
servative candidate, were the bases for the
contest. Probably the grateful residents
of Walsail will again return the Conserya-
tive.
The Liberal leaders share in the disgracs
of the fiaseo resulting from the petition
against seating Mr.. Balfour as the repre-
sentative of East Manchester. The leaders
permitted the case to proceed without u
semb blance OF proof. The Conservatives
seem to be right in accusing the Liberal
executive either Of supreme stupidity or
maIiguity

DODGING ASSASSINS.
A New York Italian on the Black List Of
the Malta.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S-The Mafia which
has been responsible for SO many mystic
rious assasslnations throughout the coun-
try, is still active. 1t has Maizo Gondice
on its list of victims The latter discov-
erad the plot to murder him and has noti-
fled the police. He tells a remarkable
story. He is an intelligent and moral
man, and there is no reason to doubt the
truth of his story.
The story goes back to 1860, when ne
lived With his father in Italy. The father
was nobleman. In 1860 murder was
committed liz his fathers parish. The
lower and the criminal classes had a
grudge against his father and he was
arrested for the crime, to shield the real
murderer. and kept in prison for three
years. He was then released on the pay
ment of a large sum of money to the
Malta. The Malta, however. still bore q
grudge against his father, and when he
died it was transferred to MaiZo. his eld
est son. Maizo came to New York in 1867
and had been here but q short time before
he heard that the Malta had sent three
assassins to kill him. but he escaped
them.
.Gondice went into the business of manu-
featuring toy balloons and artificial flowers,
but the agents of the Malta were always
on his track, and he was forced to move
about from place to place to escape them.
4 year ago Gondice lived in Brooklyn.
His wife lell ill aud the Malta attempted
TO palm off one of the assassins as IA physi-
clan, but he discovered the fraud. Shortly
before his wife died priest came to the
house and ordered erybody out OF the
sick room. The priest, Gondice says, in
duced the dying woman to give him $500
to send to her brother in Italy, and then
poisoned her. the physician. however, CIV
ing certificate of death by pneumonia.
Gondice buried his wife's body in Holy
Cross cemetery. but the agents of the
Malta removed the body from the grave
and buried it in some place unknown to
him.
A short time ago Luiga Gutrino. an
Italian engaged ia the plot to murder Gon-
dice's wife, went to Italy, where he died.
Before his death he wrote a confession of
his connection with the Malta, giving the
details of the plot, stating tnat tue priest
who induced Mrs. Gondice to give him the
$500 kept the money. He gave the name
OF the prest, aud Gondice went to the
priest, who threated to have him killed if
he did not keep quiet Tue police are in
yestigating Gondice's story.

The KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

ST. LOUIS, Nov 1S-John Davis, con-
gressman-elec5 from Kansas, and mem
ber of the general executive board, made
his first appearance in the Knights OF
Labor assembly this morning. Ia re-
sponse to most hearty welcome and cor
dial congratulations. he made brief ad-
dress TO the delegates
A matter likely to have some far-reach-
ing results came up at the morning ses-
sion. Mr.. Powderly, in his annual re-
port, recommended that National Trade
Asse m bly, No. 13l (miners) be instructed
to Withdraw FROM the United Iron Work
ers OF America. A propositions was made
to instruct all Knights connected with the
Federation Of Labor 10 withdraw from the
federation The ground was taken that
the federation has treated the knights of
Labor with duplicity aud treacherous
coniuct, and that it WAS time the Knights
OF Labor should stand for the principles of
their order and cease trying to piacate the
federation. 1t is probable that the
proposition will carry.
1t the afternoon session the proposition
was voted down By vote of 80 to Sc. 1t is
thought that the election Of officers will be
reached tomorrow.

THE SOUTHERN. DAILY PRESS.

CHATTANOOGA, Nov 1s-The following
statement from Adolph S. Ochs, proprie-
tor of the Chattanooga Times. explains
itself:
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. IS
"The publication in the New York
Times that the proprietor of the Chatta-
nooga Times is dsgrnntled and is likely
to withdraw from the Southern
Associated Press is without the slightest
foundation. I have for the past ten days
persis:ently declined to receive the reports
of she New York Associated Press. though
rendered to me every day. The Southern
Associated Press has no member who Is
more loyal than myself. There was every
effort made to create n mutinous fight In
the Southern Associated Press, but it
failed OF its purpose.
The Southern Associated Press has in
its mem bership every daily newspaper in
North Carolina. South Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, east Tennessee. Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana that has heretofore
received the New York Associated Press
news, paying therefor $150.000 per annum.
The Southern Associated Press has. by
contract. control in the states mentioned
of all news of the United Press and the
Western Associated Press, and, through
these two organizations. the news of the
principal foreign news agencies.
Ihe prOprletOrS anu publishers OF the
southern daily newspapers had every OPP
porJunity to continue their relation with
the New York Associated Press, and on
terms they could themselves dictate, and
they chose to. decline all overtnres. 1t is
supposed that they knew what they were
about-all being successful business men.
The members Of the Southern Associated
Press bear no il-will toward the New
York Associated Press, but joined a move
ment that includes, with exceptions hardly
worth mentioning. every daily newspaper
in tine Uhited States from Seattle to Ban
gor and from the lakes to the gulf, to put
a stop to an arrangement which enabled
seven New York dailes to control the news
of the country aud to exact whatever pay
they desired. The door is open to the New
York Associated Press to come in on equal
terms with the most favored. The South
ern Associated Press hopes that its former
New York city associates may soon realize
the folly of their efforts TO stop progress
sive movement that for wonder was not
commenced years ago.
