General Grant Favored Free Wool.


 would suggest to congress the pro- priety of readjusting the tariff so as to increase the revenue, and at the same time decrease the number of articles upon which duties are levied. Those arti- cles which enter into our manufactures, and are not produced at home, it seems to me, should be entered free. Those articles of manufacture which we pro duce constituent part of, but do not produce the whole; that part which we do not produce should enter free also. will instance fine wool, dyes, etc. These articles must be imported to form @ part of the manufacture of the higher grades of woolen goods. Chemicals used as dyes, compounded in medicines and used in various ways in manufactures come under this class.
 The introduction free of duty of such wools as we do not produce would stim- ulate the manufacture of goods requir- ing the use of those we do produce, and therefore would be benefit to home production. There are many articles entering into ''home manufactures which we do not produce ourselves, the tariff upon which increases the cost of producing the manufactured article. All corrections in this regard are in the direction of bringing labor and capital in harmony with each other, and o1 supplying one of the elements of pros perity so much needed.-Message tc | Congress, 1874.

General SickIes In Line.

One by one the Republican hopes melt away. In the great scarcity of converts from Democracy this year the Repub- ican managers tried to claim Gen. eral Dan Sickles, of New York, as a supporter of Harrison, but General Sickles has accepted a Democratic nom- ination for congress in these words:
 q accept this nomination as the very best proof I can give of my loyalty to Grover Cleveland and devotion to all other nominees, as we'll as principles of the Democratic party"
 What General Sickles thinks of Cleve, lands record in the matter of pensions he told the old soldiers at Utica, N. Y.. in 1888:
 Now as to President Cleveland's record in behalf of the soldiers. They charge that he has vetoed good many pension bills. So he has. I have read his vetoes. I am soldier. I love my soldiers. Had I been president and a congress had passed such bills for my soldiers, should have vetoed every one of them too. They were mostly all frauds and shams, and had no frauds under me. Any right minded man, sworn to discharge his duty, would have signed these vetoes as President Cleveland did

BOTH SIDES PLEASED.

County Democracy's Withdrawal Tickles
 Democrats and Republicans. Hgah
 NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The events of the past few days have wrought re- markable change in the political condi- tions of this State, and have upset many calculations, which, a week ago, were considered reliable. The withdrawal of the County Democracy ticket in this city has complicated matters nsiderably.
 Assembly districts, which, by reason of third ticket, were likely to elect Re- publican Assemblymen, are now thought to be surely Democratic, while, on the other hand, it is freely predicted that the withdrawal of the independent vote will lessen Clevelands majority in this city. Chairman Ha, kett, at the Republican headauarters, pointed to the statement on the part of one of the County Democ- racy leaders, that the withdrawal of the ticket would lose Cleveland and Steven son 5000 votes in this city, as proaf that the action of the County Democracy would help the Republicans.
 ''They may talk," he added, "about Demcratic unity, and say that the with drawal was due to a desire to bring about that result, but the truth is that it was caused by Tammany's intolerance of any other Democratic organiz ization in New York"
 He declared that the result will be such soreness among the rank and file of the County Democratic party that they will | either vote the Republican ticket or stay | away from the polls altogether.
 At the Democratic National Headquar- | ters this view of the case was ridiculed. | It was said that the expressed desire of | the National Committee that Tammany's | local ticket be not interfered with had much to do with the withdrawal of the | County Democracy from the local field. l The managers at headquarters said that the withdrawal will preclude any possi- bility of trading for Republican votes. | At Tammany Hall the general opinion l is that the County Democracy will bt heard from very little hereafter.

"eLAlNE IS ALL WRoNG."~
So Says Paymaster Sullivan, Regarding
 Behring Sea Matters.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-T The recent al legged remarks. of Paymaster John Clyde Sullivan of the U. s. s. Mohican have been called to the attention of officials oi the State, Navy and Interior Depart ments, and it is probable that court martial will result from them. Paymas- ter Sullivan, who has been on duty with his ship in Behring Sea suppressing seal poaching, is reported to have said in an interview published in Seattle, Wash:
 "We haven't the shadow of right to declare Behring Sea closed sea, and we will be knocked out entirely by the In ternational Commission. l have read everything could get my hands on upon the subject and am something of law yer as we'll as a sailor, and believe Blaine's contention is all wrong, and the United States will pay double for the work we have been doing in Behring Sea-"
 This remark has been taken up by the British Columbian papers, and has been brought to the attention of the State and Navy Departments.
 MT. Sullivan also offended the In terior Department by the following al- legged remarks about the government of Alaska:
 "That country should be a regular territorial form of government, with a delegate to Congress. It should have every facility for the development of it's wonderful resources. This bureaucratic form of government is fraud, anyway, and, as a rule, inefficient men are always appointed to manage affairs. Our work the past season has been to prevent pelagic sealing, and we have done so as far as we could"
 Unless MT. Sullivan has been much 1~1 will probably find himself in very ho water,

The New Railroad Deal.

For us in Connecticut it is rather a question of what will the Reading do. If it takes hold of the New England in earnest, puts it in first class order and runs it up to it's capabilities, then there will be great gain for the state. The New England has long needed back ing that could put up the money needed for tracks and equipment and an ownership that wanted to own and not to sell. Nor is it likely that in this deal there is the promise and potency of rail- road warfare and legislative lobbying. It must be remembered that back of MT Mcleod of the Reading stands J. Pier pont Morgan of New York, head of Drexel, Morgan 6 Go, who financed the Reading deal, and MT Morgan is also a leading director of the Consolidated, as was shown by his recent capture of the Housatonic. Having a powerful in l fiuence in each concern, it IS not likely that he will let them go to throat cutting.-Hartford Courant.

New Jersey Rr pu jeans Making aD Issue
 of the Gerrymauder.
 CAMDEN, N. J., Oct. 2S.-The Repub- icans of New Jersey claim that the Dem ocratic gerrymander will be a boomerang has the State been gerrymandered SC that the occasional election of a Republi can House of Assembly will be matter of impossibility, but the Congressional districts have been cut and carved to insure the election of six of the eight Congressmen to whom the State is en- titled.
 This fact has stirred up feeling all over the State and will be one of the principal issues. The State League of Republican Clubs, who have assumed the duty of educating the people of the State, have made it one of their principal sub jects of discussion. They have had pre- pared two illuminated maps showing the change of the lines both in the Assembly y and Congressional districts.
 The prettiest piece of carving on the Congressional map is that of the new Eighth district.
 IL takes in the Democratic county of Union, the city of Orange, and the Dem ocratic townships of Essex county. I hen it forms a hook, crosses Newark Bay, and hooks in the city of Bayonne, which is in Hudson and is strongly Dem ocratic. This new district is expected tc gave Democratic majority of from 1, 50C to 5000.
 The Republicans claim that it is thil scheme to prevent the people from select ing their representatives in the State aid i.at!onal halls of legislation tha .as aroused the independent voters Of the State.

Removing a Death Trap.

NEW HAVEN, Oct 28.-The Consoli- dated railroad is removing the danger square, which has been the scene of many fatal accidents and the cause of much litigation. The crossing was originally owned by the Derby road, and crossed Meadow street very near the union depot. A few years ago a horse car containing many passengers was struck by Derby train and num- Der of persons were terribly injured. Since that time three fatal accidents have occurred at the crossing.

 in New Jersey to be Made an Issue by

 NEW YORK, Oct. 28-The "general apathy of which the campaign mana. gers of both parties have been complain ing seems to have had an unusually depressing effect on the bookmakers and ol the result of a national election.
 Until within the last two days practi- cally no bets had been made. The big sporting men like Appleby & Johnson, "Dick" Roche, the three Mahoneys, "Butch" Thompson and "Pat" Sheedv, have nearly all been holding back until the registration of day and tomorrow should be in and they would be able to draw comparisons with the figures of previous years
 At the Turf Exchange it was said yes terday that "Mattie" CorbetG was in Washington and so far as was known had paid no attention to the election. Neither had "Joe" Cotton made any large bets, although he was stakeholder for few small ones at even money on the general result.
 Frank Huntoon of the Hoffman House Club on Wednesday wanted to bet $10,- 900 to $15, 900 that Harrison would be elected. It is said that ''Ed' Stokes of the Hoffman House was likely to take Huntoon. Billy" Edwards said yester- day, however, that he knew nothing about the bet. At the club rooms it is said that Huntoon is absent, but it was intimated that he was still looking for a taker of his $1O,OOO.
 On the general result the quotation is now even money, while on the result in New York State $1OO to $7O is about the figure. No betting is being done or other States, although Billy Edwards said yesterday that he had heard Demo cratic lawyer offer $1 1000 to $70O that In diana would go for Cleveland and Steven son.
 A we'll known Republican politician had promised to take the bet, but, SC far as Edwards knew, the money had not been put up.
 Edwards holds bet of $1 ,000 to $70C | that Cleveland will carry New York | State, and one of $1, 900 even on the gen eral result.

TRIED TO HANG THE BOY.
Two Youths in Newark Play "Wild West'

Two Youths in Newark Play "WiId West"
 With a Comrade.
 NEWARK. N. J., Oct. 28.-Louis Barn helm, aged Il years, of Charlton street, was found lying in the street last night, choking and his tongue hanging out. A rope was around his neck, and an end of it was found fastened to the railing of a stoop.
 When released he was almost insensi- ble. He was taken to his home. When he recovered sufficiently to tell his story he said that Lyman Samuel and Willie Geninger, boys of the same age, had lassoed him and then tried to hang him. His mother swore out a warrant before Judge Priesel against Lyman Samuel, of Charlton street.
 Barnheim is in @ bad condition. The rope wore away, all the skin to the flesh. Later he became hysterical. The affair has caused intense excitement here.
