CLEVELAND, Sept. Ex-senator Sher-
man spoke at North Fairfield, Huron
County, to-day. It was his opening
speech in the campaign, and he went into
the Fourteenth Congressional District,
where there is bitter fight, with Con-
gresham Harter Democrat) on one side
and E. c. Johnson (Republican) on the
other. About five thousand persons were
at the meeting.
Senator Sherman reviewed the material
progress Of the United States under pro-
tective tariff since 1861, claiming that all
this prosperity was due to the Republican
policy. He said: ''We stand by this
policy. We maintain and defend that it
is constitutional and right, as beneficial
to all classes of our people, and as one of
the best results of the Republican policy.
10 say this policy of protection, the prin-
cipal design of which is to promote the
interests of the laboring man, is a fraud
upon him, is a falsehood, which every
reasoning being can detect. The modern
Democracy has thrown off all DISCUSSES
and declared openly for the doctrine pro-
claimed in the Confederate Constitution,
and first announced by Calhoun
Sherman said he would not WELD to that
which Senator Hill insisted in recent
speech, that the Democratic party still
stands on the old doctrine Of tariff for
revenue. with incidental protection. Sem
ator HIPS position, he said. was not tena-
BILE, for the reason that the Democratic
convention not only rejected the Incl
dental protection idea, but substituted for
1t provisions OF the Confederate Constitu-
ton.

CONFIDENT REPUBLICANS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The Repub-
lcan Subcommittee on Congressional
Elections has been holding private SEES
slons here for two days for the purpose of
figuring out what can be done to over
come the Democratic majority in the
House. Edward Mcpherson and Rich
ard C. Kerens are extremely sanguine.
The purpose is said to be to bend every
effort to break into the Democratic repre-
sentation from the South, electing Ali
ance men, if not Republicans, wherever
1t is possible, so as to prevent the Demo-
Gratis from organizing the next House.
In the Flfty-tirst Congress the Repub-
leans had seventeen representatives from
the South. In the present Congress thew
have but four. Mr.. Mcpherson figures
that they can elect twenty-three Repub-
licans from the South to the F'iftv-third
Congress. Mr.. Kerens says that four Re-
publicans will elected in Missouri. and
Representative Houk of Tennessee counts
on three from his State. Mr.. Houk saws
that unless the situation changes materi-
ally the Republicans will elect the Gov
ernor of Tennessee, and he thinks there
is very fair chance that the electoral
vote of the State may be cast for Har-
riSOn.

CLEVELAND IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, Sept. 30.-Grover Cleve-
land arrived from BuzZard's Bay this
morning and was driven at once to the
Victoria Hotel, where he will remain dur-
ing his stay, the duration of which is not
yet known. He was received by 200 peo-
pie at the pier.
Among the early callers was w. r,
Grace, who held brief conference with
the ex-President. 1t is understood the
conference related to the anti-snappers'
position on local politics. Cleveland sub
sequently said he could not discuss the
local political question.
This evening there were many callers
at Mr.. Cleveland's apartments. Ex-Sec-
rotary Whitney remained with Mr.,
Cleveland most of the evening Repre-
sentatives of both the regular State or
ganization and the auti-snappers called
and had conferences.
After the State committee adjourned.
without nominating candidate for Chief
Justice of the Courts of Appeals, pre-
sum. bly, waiting the action of the anti
members, Messrs. Croker and Daily hur-
ried over to the hotel and had a long talk,
Messrs. Hill, Dickinson and others are
said TO have been present. On leaving
the hotel Croker said he had an important
matter, but could not say anything about
1t until Cleveland gave permission.
If Mr.. Whitney, who is generally re-
cognized as Clevelands representative.
speaks his sentiments the ex-President
will not oppose third ticket in the CITY.
Whitney is of the opinion that the more
Democratic local candidates there are the
fuller the vote will be for the national
ticket. Croker said there is danger from
the third ticket movement, not that he
fears opposition to Tammany, but third
ticket will be used for trading, and trad
ing legislative candidates might cause the
loss OF the United States Senatorship.
When MIR. Grace emerged from the
conference he said he had had a long talk
with Cleveland on the situation; that the
ex-President considered his prospects of
election splendid, judging from reports
received. Grace said he didn't mention
