Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
ITHACA q. W, Oct. 3l.-A crowd of
ten thousand enthusiastic people tonight
endeavored to force themselves into two
halls Of the capacity Of a thousand each,
the all-pervadng desire being to see
and hear Whitelaw Reid and Chauncy
NJ. Depew. The latter spoke at the
opera-house, receiving an enthusiastic
welcome. He spoke for nearly an hour.
The distinguished speaker, in the course
of his remarks, said: "Where is this pow
erty, this calamity our Democratic
friends say is abroad in the land to-day?
They also say protection is robbery and
unconstitutional. ] discover. as a lawyer
reading the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that in con-
STRUNG the constitutionality of the law
the decision is always on the side of need,
liberty and prosperity of the people,"
Depew closed with reference to his
speech eulogizing Cleveland, the pc
culiarity of which, he said, was that he
did not write it.
Mr.. Reid received an ovation on being
introduced, and said in part: ''The Dem
ocratic party is not known by it's work to
this generation. 1t never had a President
and Congress together. For the first
time the political situation is such that if
you defeat the choice of the Republican
Convention you make it certain that you
will defeat the majority of the House and
Senate for the first time since the Admin
istration OF Buchanan, and the Demo-
cratic party Will be able to work its will.
/ The great questions of the day are recip-
rocity and honest money. The Republi-
can party declares for protective tariff.
What does Cleveland say about recipro-
city? l find nothing. Can you produce
one word from Clevelands letter of ac-
ceptance explaining whether he is in
favor of National bank currency-the
best currency the country ever SAVIOR
whether he tavors the sham and corrupt
currency which the Democratic platform
declares in favor of?
In conclusion Reid challenged the YER
dict of the American people upon the
character and success of the administra-
ton of Benjamin Harrison.
How about the force bill ?" yelled a
Democrat in the extreme rear.
'To begin WITH" said Reid, "there is
no force bill. The proposed bill was to
direct Federal authorities to regulate
elections at which Federal officers were
to be elected. Why should not the Fed
eral authorities supervise and assure ac-
curacy and justice to Federal officials ?
If wrong, Cleveland for his act in 1856,
directing its execution, must first be ar

tiers of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments OF the Constitution"
CARLISLE AT NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Four thousand
people crowded Cooper Union tonight to
listen TO Senator John q. Carlisle talk
politics, under the auspices Of the Reform
Club. The Senator opened with a scath-
ing arraignment of the billion-dollar
xt-h hi.,I I,e- 1 g.
more, should cause every elector to put
the seal of condemnation upon the policy
of the Republican party, for the avowed
purpose of that party was to discriminate
to secure benefits to few at the expense
of all. [Cheers.l The Democratic party
did not propose to do this, but merely TO
raise a revenue for the necessary expenses
of the Government The Democratic
party has not, however, declared for free
trade, but simply for constitutional sys-
tenn of taxation for the support of the
Government, without compelling one
man 10 part with his earnings for the
benefit of another.
The Government has no right to tax
the people for private purposes, but it has
a right to tax them for public purposes.
There is no middle ground. The Nc
kinley bill was passed for the purpose of
getting contributions for the Republican
campaign. By it the people were divided
into two classes-one receiving the bene-
fits, the other receiving tho burdens.
The Senator ridiculed the idea that the
Mckinley bill benefited the American
tin-plate industry, and in conclusion ap-
pealed to the audience to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket from top to bottom.
OREGON DEMOCRATS AND PoPULIsTs.
CHICAGO, Oct 3I.-H. w. Scott of the
OregOniaR, at Portland, Or, who is in
this city, said to-day: There is a snarl
in the preparations for the election in
Oregon that is likely to bring serious dis
comiiture to Democrats and Populists.
An attempt was made by them to form a
fusion ticket, the idea being to Withdraw
two Democratic and two Populist Elec-
tors, and unite on the same number of
Electors of the two parties, and thus. if
possible, defeat the Republican Electoral
ticket. The law in Oregon, however,
provides that all nominations must be
filed with the Secretary of State and
Clerks of the respective counties at least
fifteen days before election. This attempt
at fusion has been made too late, as it is
much less than fifteen days to the cleo
ton. The consequence is that the Demo-
Gratis and Populists are not able to get to-
gether upon any legal ticket, nor back to
their original conditions. The Demo
Gratis may vote for their own Electors.
but cannot vote for the Populist Electors,
and the Populists may vote for their own.
but not for the Democrats. There is, in
short, no way TO combine the tickets"
REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT.
New YORK, Oct. 31.-The Ere1a5ng TeLe-
grdal says: There is no doubt the feeling
OF the Republican leaders and the rank
and file, IN regard to the result, has un-
dergone wonderful change. 1t must
not be understood from this they have not
expressed confidence all along, but prev
ious to this morning they did so with an
air and manner that would lead one to be-
lieve they did not believe what the said.
but were talking for political effect. Ali
this has now changed. They now claim
with the loudest and most evident earn
estness that they will carry New York. !
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana
There was more Republican than DEM
ocratie money ''in sight Saturday night
for betting purposes, and | learned from
reliable sources last night and to-day that
Chairman Carter would send TO the lead
ers OF the different States a report of the
situation to the effect that in the opinion
of the National Committee the fight was
practically won.
AN ESTIMATE.
WAsHINGTON, Oct 3l.-Now that the
registration is completed there is some
basis on which TO form estimates of the
result in New York State. The total reg
istration in New York City was about
$4,000 under the estimates made by Mr.
Croker and the Tammanv leaders. They.
however, explain the shortage by saying
