WHITElAW REID
Addresses the Dry Goods Dealers in New
York.

New YonK, Oct. l5.-At the meeting Of
the Wholesale Dry Goods Dealers Repub-
lican Association. this afternoon Hon. John
Brennan of Iowa was the first speaker,
after which loud calls were made for Mr.
Whitelaw Reid, and amid enthusiastic
cheering, that gentleman mounted the plat
form. He proceeded Immediately with the
discussion of tariff issues lie spoke of the
defeat of the party two years ago. and said
that. in explanation of that, he would quote
from the man called the most unpopular
man in this country by Enropeans-fon.
William +. Mckinley that his bill was
then too young to speak for itself"
1T is now not very old continued Mr.
Reid. land vet it has shown itself fully
capable of speaking for itself" He said we
were having presidential campaign, in
which business men were greatly inter
ested. He attributed il to the Mckinley
bill which had placed business upon such
firm footing that It could not be interfercd
with. Orders. he said. are coming in from
places never before opened. and that recip-
rocity improviseI by MIR. Blaine was bring
ing unprecedented business to the merch-
ants of this city and country-trade that
this country should have bad 40 years ago.
al really think that the recent Demo
cratic documents, such a. that a. WAS sent
out by that miserable man Peck az they
now call him. shows what a state of caam-
i,y exists"
Mr.. Reid then mentioned that the reports
of Peck, the savings banks, the building aud
loan associations all showed an increase of
prosperity during the year 1891, when the
Democrats had predicted such a business
depression as the outcome of the Mckinley
bill The equalization board. he said had
reported gain of sI52 ,Oo0, 900 increase of
taxable property.
'+On a business basis said Mr.. Reii.
''if that is the condition of affairs, why
should you decree sweeping and radical
changer If the power was given to the
Democratic party, they would bring about
such CONFUSION as has not been expected
since the war
Mr.. Reid then referred to the PROPOSE
ton of the Democratic party TO revive state
banks and endeayored to convince the mer-
chants thar they wanted nothing to do with
that system again.
Hon. George b. speilman of Vermont,
also addressed the meeting. At the close
the audience was invited TO shake hands
with Mr.. Reid.

WASHINGTON. Oct, l6.--Sfatements given
GU, from the White House Saturday were
to the effect that news of the most cheering
character TO the President and his friends
is constantly received By letter at the ex-
ecutiye mansion.
Letters from Wisconsin and Illinois
speak with constant confidence of the situa-
ton. In Illinois it is asserted that the
Democrats lay no claims to any chance, eS-
eept in the contes, over the Governorship,
There is a hard fight over that office. bur
the Presidential ticket is not regarded as
seriously involved.
lp Wisconsin both national and state
tickets are reported as all right.
Letters from New Hampshire show that
there is a very pretty fight in progress
there. The Democrats are doing their best
To carry the state. IL has been thought by
many that the candidacy of ex-senator
Blair for Congress was going to prove a
source of weakness 10 the Republicans,
The reports received however. indicate
quite the contary. Blair is said TO he max
ing very earnest and impressive contest,
and the effectiveness of his canvass is be-
ginning to show in the growing interest in
the fight and the activity of the Republi-
cans. The reports are encouraging, indi-
eating that. while there must be hard
fight, the state will remain in the Republi-
can column and will vote for Harrison.

NEW YORK AROUSED
Over Politics and Confidence Reigns at Re-
publican Headquarters.

NEW YoRK, Oct. lG.--At Republican
headquarters Saturday there was a jubilant
feeling over Mr. Blaines speech, and the
members of the national committee were
generally satisfied and confident of the out
come. The following remarks by National
Committeeman koones of Missouri, may
be accepted as rejecting the general senti-
ment among members of the committee.
He said
II have returned today from Ophir farm
where spent several hours last night with
Mr.. Blaine. think his speech was inspir-
ing assuring, and, like all of his utterances
of the highest type of mastery statesman
ship. His words TO the lrish-Amcr-
leans, who especially admire him,
will tend to further stimulate
them to immediate action in favor of Re
publican interests and protection to Ameri-
can labor all over the tnited States. What
Great Britain condemns and assaults can
be read as warning TO people of Irish an
cestry. They will not blindly give their
support for the benefit of their enemies and
oppressors, which simply means free trade
for the benefit of English manufacturs.
Regarding the campaign in the West.
and particularly the plans of the national
committee for Missouri, Mr.. koones said
1.-THE Mckinley canvass has been slightly
changed in the last few days and the follow
ing has been definitely decided on. After
speaking in Chicago and northern Illinois,
on the dates covering the l9ih,
2Oth, 2lst and 22d, including at
tendance upon the dedicatory ceremonies.
Mr.. Mckinley will leave Chicago on the
23d, and go TO Kansas City, speaking at
towns along the line of the C.. B. K q. rail
road "a change from the first programme) =,
and at Kansas City on the afternoon of
Monday, October 2lth, and at Leavenworth
the same day.
Regarding the plans of the national com
mittee in the state of Pennsylvania, Mr.
Koones said ave have little to do with
the conduct of the campaign of the Key
stone state. The committee has confidence
in the ability, judgment and sagacity of the
state central committee. and are fully salts
fled that Pennsylvania will give the Repub-
Iican ticket an increased majority over
