LAYING THE BLAME.
Platt Blames the Landslide on DepeW and
Depew Proves an AIibL

New York. November 11.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew was asked this morning what he
thought Of a statement made last night by
ex-senator Thomas G. Platt, attrl outing
the defeat Of the Republican party in New
York county to him (Depew). In reply
the Doctor said:
Brother Platt objected to me taking an
active paTt-in managing the campaign. He
sale: Brother Depew, you are good ora
tor and are good enough to make speeches
for the party, but you must not do any
managing
"BrolGer Platt thinks am an amateur
when it comes 10 politics. On the other
hand he believes, and so do l, that he him
self is au expert and experienced politl-
clan. 1t was therefore agreed that Brother
Plat should manage the campaign He
was allotted the task Of running the ma
chine and / was put off at speech-maklng.
Now, Brother Platt is shrewd and
competent engineer, and ran the machine
as well as it could be done. He did all the
work in the city and in the State and did 1t
better, perhaps, than any one could nave
done it. But then, as he was managing
and conducting the machine, l don't think
he could lay the blame for the collision on
me.n
we Just ran into q landslide-that was
it, plain aud simple. Brother Platt was at
the throttle and wide awake, too, but he
could not avert the accident. The engine
simply plunged into the obstruction and
we all know the result
Early in the fight, Brother Plat in
sisted upon my combining myself to orations
instead Of engineering actively in the ma
chinery department. He preferred to do
this himself, as he had had more expert
enee, so | went forth as a speaker. Be-
tween US we evolved the end.
"rhe result could not be attributed to
any one person or party Of persons. New
York alone did not effect the result. 1t was
the whole country The people wanted q
change of policy more than of candidates,
and they will have it. They want to try
free trade because they think they will get
clothing cheap. They will have every OPP
portunity to try it, hope.
"The Homestead strike also affected the
voting. 1t came right on in the beginning
OF the campaign, and operated against
President Harrison. There has been a
good deal of talk about Mr.. Carnegie and
Mr. Frick. Now, we charge Mr.. Prick
with having voted the Democratic ticket.
I declare that he did not contribute to the
campaign fund nor did Mr. Carnegie"

Factions Fight to the Death

NASHVILLE. Tenn, November ia
special TO the american from Johnson City
Tenn, says: News reaches here OF the
bloodiest election fight on record at the
polls at Big Rock Creek, Mitchell county,
N. c., 25 miles south Of this place, be
tween Republican factions. Geo, X
Pritcbard. Republican nominee for sheriff,
was opposed by Isaac Nc Kinney, indie
pendent Republican, who was defeated for
the nomination by a small majority.
The race was remarkably bitter and
bloodshed expected fight was precipl.
tated by one Of McKinney's followers
knocking down his opponent. Immediately
the whole crowd Of fifty took sides. A
desperate battle ensued. Stones, knives
and pistols were used with terrible effect
Twenty men are wounded, four of whom
will probably die. The community is
noted for its desperate acts. The entire
population is In arms and more blOodshed
is imminent.

She VIII BE the Biggest Vessel In the
American Navy-Reducing Her speed.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November 1.-THE
expert engineers of the bureau of steam en-
cheering have just completed the revised
specifications for the engines and boilers Of
sea-going battle ship No l, which will be
the largest vessel in the United States
navy. Notwithstanding the great size Of
the vessel (she will displace IL ,250 tons.
she will not be particularly speedy craft
as vessels are now rated in these DAYS of
naval progress, but that is because she is
TO be heavily armored-not "protectedu
like the New York in certain vital parts
but covered with heavy Harveyized steel
plates, capable Of resisting the ermor-
piercing proiectileS Of great guns.
The great weight Of this armor has oblig-
ed the naval architects to reduce the weight
allowance of the engines and boiler, and
that meant reduction in speed, particu-
larly as liberal allowance had to be made
for the coal supply Of the ocean going man
Of war. So the new vessel will have en-
gines Of II, 600 horse power, which, running
at ll27s revolutions per minute, will give
her speed Of l6 knots per hour.

A BIG COMBINATION.
Chicago Packing Companies TO Unlte-Big
CAPITAL Inv olVed.

CHICAGO. November LIT is announced
here this morning that two Of the largest
packing companies ia Chicago will soon be
merged into one. These are the Interna-
tional Packing and Provision Company and
the Chicago Packing and Provision Com
papy. The consolidation is financial
movement of great Importance for it brings
together one of the largest aggregations OF
CAPITAL that can be found anywhere CEN
tered in similar business. The new COM
pany will really be one OF the great organl-
cations in the country, controlling as twill
over "a ,000, 600 of cash working capital In
addition to the plants represented
by the stocks and bonds.
The capital is: Chicago Packing and
Provision Co., 400, 900 pounds sterling, and
of the International Packing and Provis-
ion Co., $4,000 pounds. In addition the
two companies have little over $2,000,OO0
of bonds outstanding. 1t is suggested by
those familiar with the packing business
and more or less conversant with the plans
of the ruling spirits in these two organiza-
lions that there is contemplated great
extension in the business. People con-
nected with the Hammond Company ad-
nit that there is possibility Of that COM
many coming within the control Of the con-
solidated company. That company is an
enormous one, having capitalization OF
100000 pounds. 1t is believed that the
Hammond people are particularly anxious
to bring such thing about.
1t is suggested also that there are posi-
bilities of western extensions and that the
plans of the leaders means colossal organ
ization which will take first rank in the
packing industry. The Importance of the
consolidated organizationwil be understood
when 1t is known that the consolidated
companies will have capacity for killing
II, 500 a day. This equals the combined
OUTPUT Of the other three big packing con-
Germs, Messrs Armour, Swift and Morris,
and is over twice as much as the largest OF
these.

rHE FRRE ooAL FAKE.

When the coal of Nova Scotia begins to
come into this country free Of duty the coal
of West Virginia will have to meet 1t in
price or remain in the ground. The men
who dig 1t know how the price can be re-
duced There is no end Of fun IN store for
all Of us.-Intslligencer.
This is one of the compaign lies on
this subject that the mtelLigencer evil
IDENTIFY had crowded out and put it in by
mistake after the election.
There ia no larger coal operator In
West Virginia than Hons HENRY G.
DAVIS, and he has stated the case in
this language:
Let me tell you that so far as the bust
ness OF the country is concerned you are
safer and better in the hands Of the Demo
cratic than the Republican party on the
coal question. 1t was the Republican
party in 'S3, when l was member OF the
Senate which passed bill in the House TO
reduce the tariff on coal to fifty cents. II
il had not been for the Democratic mem
bers the Republican party would have
passed the bill So let me say to you that
you can rest easy about the Democratic
party injuring the country so lar as the
tariff is concerned. There is nothing in It,
1t is all bosh, if you will allow me the ex-
preston.
Would Mr.. DAVIS, one OF the most
extensive mine owners and coal operat-
ors in the State and one of the most
fearless aud outspoken men to be found
anywhere, say this If he thought that
not only his own vast interests, but
scores of others would be crushed by
free coal from Nova Scotia? Mr..
DAVIS is not ''in politics." He is in
business, which he understands thor
oughly and he certainly ought to know
what is the best policy to pursue so lar
as West Virginia is concerned.
